to the capital stock Of the Southern Mary

FIRST time on Monday last, in Bryantown
district. His list was headed by Daniel
P. Havilaud with fifteen shares, 81. 500;
B. F. Bowling, NJ. L. Mcpherson. j. T.
Mudd, and others. 200 each. This
evinces a public spirit and enterprise
highly creditable to our county and we'll
worthy Of imitation.
Mr.. Mudd informs as that be has every
assurance that the people for several miles
adjacent to the road will not only give
their moral support. but material aid in
land. and many to the utmost Of their a.
bility. and he hopes to End this the case
10 corresponding degree throughout the
county. We wish for him most cordial
reception everywhere and express our best
wishes for the success Of this great enter
prize.
We also learn from the Beacon, that
the Commissioner for St. Mary's County,
(Mr. G. l. Durant,) has perfected an ar
raugement Ito protect the interest of those
who subscribe land in the event of fail
ure of the road, as also to protect the
Company in the event Of its success.
The Beacon of last week says:

have every reason to believe that ve:;y

The engineering corps have nearly COM
pleted their lsbors and expect soon to be
ready with their maps. estimates, etc.
The distance from Washington to Point
Lookout is seventy.6ve miles, and it is
thought that the grading will be so slight
that the cost of the road will not be over
$12, 900 per mile. With the exception
Of bridge across the Eastern Branch at
Washington, there will be no bridging on
the line.
The Point Lookout road will be almost
an air line to Washington and will con-
meet with the Metropolitan road which is
intended to run FROM Washington to the
Point of Rocks and from thence to the
coal fields of Allegany. thus making the
terminus of our road one of the best coal
depots in the country. Upon the survey
made our line will run within five miles Of
Marlboro, which will be but short dis
lance to connect with the Baltimore and
Potomac road, thus giving US rail commu-
nication with Baltimore. By this con-
nection, We shall place ourselves about
the same distance BY land as by water
from Baltimore, and persons travelling
from thence to Norfolk will save hun.
dred miles Of night travel on the Chesa-
peake and four or five hours in time.

Fight Between the Indians and settlers the
Upper Missouri.
Despatch to The BUening Telegraph.
FoRT BENTON, Mo-, May "a Intelligence
has just been received that a large body of
Santee Sioux Indians attacked a settlement at
Muscle Shell, on the Upper Missouri, two weeks
ago. The Indians met with hot reception from
the whites. Thirty or forty Indians were re-
ported to have been killed, and the remainder
only saved themselves by swimming across the
river. The whites lost but two men. The In
dians appear to have gone for reinforcements,
and will probably repeat the attack.
