THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAIL

THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO KALI
ROAD COMPANY, have their line in sue
cessful operation from Richmond to the
White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
"a distance of 227 miles-and the cash
value of this completed and working
portion of the road is estimated at least
SIS, OOO, 900. With view to the prompt
extension of the line through to the
Ohio river, at or near the mouth of the
Big Sandy river, further stretch OF
about 200 miles (of which extension a
considerable portion has already been
constructed), the Company have decid,
ed to offer, through their financial
agents, Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, Slo, OOO,-
600 of q Thirty-Year First Mortgage
Loan, protected by the pledge of their
entire road, property, franchises, &c,
through from Richmond to the Ohio
river. The mortgage will cover all the
obligations of the Company, whose out
standing indebtedness consists of only
Sl,6SS,757 in miscellaneous bonds upon
portions of the old Virginia Central
Railroad (Which now forms part of the
Chesapeake and Ohio), and small ob.
legation to the State of Virginia, for the
payment of which provision has already
been made in Virginia State Bonds.
The outstanding Bonds of the Virginia
Central Road will be provided for by a
reservation of $4,000 900 of the First
Mortgage Loan of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Company; aud of the remaining
$4,000 900 of this First Mortgage Loan,
the Company will sell only an amount
sufficient to complete the road to the
Ohio river, perfect and improve the
portion now in operation, and thorough.
ly equip the whole for the large, active,
and very lucrative traffic which may be
confidently looked for as the inevitable
consequence of the opening of this I'M
portant Trunk Line of communication
between the seaboard and the Ohio
river. The Bonds of the Loan are of the
denomination of $1,000, $500 and 500
respectively, and are issued in three diff
ferent forms: l. Coupon Bonds, paya
BILE to bearer; 2. Registered Bonds,
with Coupons attached; and 3. Regis
tered Bonds, with Coupons detached,
which forms are explained in the pros
pectus of the Loan which appears on
another page of this paper. Both prin-
cipal and interest of the Loan are made
payable expressly in gold coin in the
city of New York. The Bonds yield in
terest at the rate of per cent per an
nun, in gold. They are offered for the
preseqt at 80 per cent and accrued in
terest in currency, from Nov. ], 1869
Secured as the Loan is by an absolute
lien on the entire line of railroad from
Richmond to the Ohio river, with its
equipment and all other property, and
by the additional guarantees afforded
by the eminently responsible Board OF
Management and Financial Agency Of
the Company-including the names OF
some of our most successful business
men. bankers, and railroad builders

peake and Ohio Railroad Company can
be commended as constituting first.

Triumphs of American Surgery.
TboIordon Do;Jv N.rs savs.

The London DAILY NeWS says:
Some rather interesting statistic have
been published in America, showing a
considerable advance in surgery since
the date of the Crimean war. Either
the,American surgeons who had care OF
the wounded in the late war were more
skillful than the French and English
army surgeoxs during the Crimean war,
or their care of the wounded was attend
ed. with physical conditions unusually
favorable TO success-such as good hospi-
tails and admirable nursing. Thus, in
cases of partial amputaton of the foot,
no more than nine per cent of the Amer
lean patients died, whereas in the
French army the mortality was forty
eight per cent. Again, for the amputa-
tion of the leg, the mortality in the
American army was twenty-six per
cent, in the English army thirty five,
and in the French army seventy-one.
Yet again, in amputation of the thigh,
the mortality in the army of the United
States was sixty four per cent, in the
English army sixty five, in the French
army as much as ninety-One. Once more
in the amputation Of the arm, the NOR
tally in the American army was twenty
one per cent, in the English army twen-
ty-five, and in the French army ff Y
five. These figures seem to establish
the superiority of English surgery over
French, and of American over both; but
perhaps French and English statistics
might put the matter in a different
light.

VIZ WACcneSJ
Not among the least important Of the many
wonders Of the metropolis, is the Great $40
Watch Sale of Michelin & Co., New York, adver-
tised in another column.
As very many Of our readers may require a
good watch, we advise them to give this concern
a trial, before buying elsewhere. Circulars full
ly describing the Sale, and every particular, can
be obtained by mail upon application.
For so cents each, they will send engravings
giving correct likenesses of their watches, with
full descriptions to the most minute particular.
These engravings, when bought by the quantity,
are sold at a less price, and liberal commissions
given those who act as agents. Every one by
this novel arrangement ascertains to a certainty
the exact style of Watch as well as by personal
examination, that they can receive upon q fur
ther payment of $40. And if unsatisfactory, it
is optional whether the buyer make further in
yestment.
Certainly no harm can be done by trying them,
and until something is known to the detriment
Of the concern, none should hastily condemn it
make the experiment, we say the outlay is but
triAing, while the gain may be very handsome.
Hundreds of packages of Watches are daily
forwarded by this establishment to the most re-
mote parts of the country, BY express, to be paid
for when received by the consignee. Try them

Editor EntsrPriss:-After an absence

I again associated myself with the Sweet
water Sabbath School, just in time to en-
joy the Christmas Tree, and for the bene-
fit Of those that were not present, to en-
joy it, and for the information of other
Sabbath Schools, l can say that the good
taste displayed by the committee, in the
construction of the tree and the nice pres
ents with which it was decorated, could
not have been exoelled. And suffice it to
say, that Notwithstanding, the cloud and
gloom in which the weather caused the
festiyity to be %inaugurated, its enjoyment'
seemed to be unbounded-young and old.

The Western Union Telegraph Oompa-

Stations on their lines, East of the Mis-

the night, at one half the usual Tariff
Rates; provided, however, that the tolls
on any message at half rates shall not be
less than twenty cents.
When messages are not very urgent per-
sons would do we'll to avail themselves OF
these rates. We presume this is done in or
der to keep their lines busy at night as well
as day, as a large number of their Offices
have to be held open the greater part of
the night to furnish the daily papers with
press reports, and it is the desire of the
Company to keep the current in motion
while these operators may be waiting for
