Desirable Six Per Cent. Gold Bonds,

for solid and permanent investments, is eyneed by the
facts that
Five-Twenty Bonds Of 1867 are selling at. lis
Central Pacific Bonds are selling at........ IO3
Chesapeake a. Ohio Bonds selling at. d.
These bonds all pay both principal and interest in New
York city, in U. $. gold coin, and equally for
Investment
The reason why FIvE-TwESrY BONDS are so high
because he issued, and the outstanding
amount being rapidly decreased by purchases by the
Government from their surplusrevenues
Tie reason why we think CENTRAL PACIFIC BoEps
will in time advance the price of FIve-Iwenes is be-
cause more be issued while the operation oftheir
Sinking Fund will commence to decrease the
amount.
The reason why CHESAPEAKE AND ONO Bonds are
selling so low comparatively while equally safe, Is be
cause the Company selling Bonds 10 complete l.
road They will all he sold in short time and in few
months the road will be finished when we have no doubt
the same result will follow with Five Twenty and
Central Pacific Bonds The sinking Fund of the Chesa
peake and Ohio must go into effect within year after
the completion OF the road.

CONCORD, Dec Gu the supreme court the
case of David Currier and Others against the
Concord, Manchester and Lawrence railroad was
argued to-day. The case is bill in equity, to
restrain the defendants from operating the rail-

tracts. The plaintiffs claim that the law passed
in 1867, to prevent railroad mOnOpolies, renders
it unlawful for these two corporations to operate
their roads together, as they have heretofore
done. 1t is probable that the case will not be
decided till the adjourned term of court.

REPUBLICAN MEETING-The republican city
committee, the delegates chosen Tuesday night
to attend the convention this evening, and other
leading republicans of the city, met in upper
Horticultural hall last evening, pursuant to
call issued yesterday morning, The capacity of
the hall was taxed to its utmost, and some who
came were unable TO gain access, so deep is the
interest felt in the question of who shall the re-
publicans nominate for mayor.
Mr.. A. G. Walker, chairman of the republican
city committee, called the meeting to order,
and it was organized by the choice of
John D. Washburn chairman, and Henry
L. Shumway CLERK. Mr.. Washburn, on taking
the chair, stated the object of the meeting,
which was for the purpose of comforting to-
gether and listening to a free expression from
men of the republican party as 10 the best course
to be pursucd in the present crisis. He thought
best not to express Il preference, but called for
expressions from the meeting.
Mr.. NJ. Amy Aldrich thought it good time to
hear the chairman's plans for action; but tie
chairman declined to speak further at that time,
saying that he had no particular plans in his
mind.
Mr.. Nathaniel Paine thought that the object
of the meeting was to select the strongest man
the republicans could fix upon for the purpose
of defeating the citizens movement.
Hon. Adm Thayer made his appearance at the
door, and was Immediately called upon for an
expression of his views. He briefly stated the
necessity for prompt, decided and judicious ac-
ton on the part of the republicans; but express
ed himself content to leave the matter of select
ing candidate entirely to the delegates chosen
Tuesday evening. lie considered the list, taken
as whole, the best list of delegates ever chosen
to II convention in this city.
Hon. w. w. Rice spoke of the importance of
retaining the rule of the city in the hands of the
republican party; and characterized the citizens
nomination as a movement gotten up to iniure
the republican party and place the democrats in
power
Hon. L. b. Stoddard thought there was no
doubt but that any decent man might be
elected if nominated by the republican party of
the city, and supported as that party is able to
support its nominee; if the party fails to do
this, he considered it "gone up"
Gen. A. b K. Sprague spoke in favor of an
out and-out republican nomination, a1d be-
lieved such movement would succeed.
MIR. j. II. Walker thought that il the citizens
nominee was elected it would be tue fault of
republicans. He believed that some of the de-
partments in the government of the city need
recognizing, but thought it SHOULD be done by
republicans instead of democrats
f. P. Goulding, ESQ., rose, IN response TO re-
peated calls, and stated that he considered the
question to be, whether the city should be gov
erned by republicans or democrats. He entered
into a sharp and critical review of Mr., Yerry's

lrRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1871-05-16
sTAUNToN VA, TUESDAY, MAY 1e 1871

eng regions of the Mississippi Valley, and
plans tor forming prompt connections with its
terminus On the Ohio, are being energetically
pushed in all directions.
For nearly year before undertaking the Fl
nancial Agency Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, we had carefully investi-
gated Its history, property, condition, and pros
poets, and became thoroughly satisfied that its
property and franchises were of great value,
and that the road when completed would be-
come one of the most important and profitable,
and the Company one Of the most wealthy and
substantial, in the United States.
During the past year these conclusions have
been constantly confirmed and strengthened,
as the sources of an immense and remunera-
tive traffic for the road have become daily more
apparent.
We take pleasure therefore. in renewing to
those who hold the Bonds of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company, the assurance of
our implicit confidence in the present value
and future prosperity Of the road, the wisdom
and integrity with which its affairs are mana
ged, and the security and value of the Com
pany's First Mortgage Bonds.
The remarkable popularity and high stand
ing of the securities of the Central Pacific
hdltrdy Company, now dealt in and recog-
nized as leading and favorite investments at all
the principal financial centres of this country
and Europe, afford an illustration of the con-
fdence with which the First Mortgage Bonds
OF well managed Railroad Companies will be
sought for and held by investors.
Under substantially the same Executive and
Financial management, which has placed the
credit of the Central Pacific so high, and rem
dered its property so valuable, aided by the
cooperation of some of the most substantial
capitalists and business men of this city, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, with
its superior natural advantages must achieve
an equal or greater success, and its Bonds must
take rank amongst the most substantial and
trusted securities in the markets both of this
country and Europe.

POETRY.
The Angel of Sleep.

He droops his plumy, snow-soft wings,
He waves, his hamy hand,
ana M VIDE the gate of silence swings
That guards the shadowy land,
Forgot is Time, the sentinel
That stands outside the door;
The gloomy train of cars as we'll
That clogged our steps before;
q rivar of Oblivion.
Thy draughts are sweet and deep,
For memory slunbers on her throne
Rocked by the Angel Sleep.
There is face whose lovliness
is marred by hues of care;
But Sleep hath swept it with his kiss
And made it smooth and fair
There is worn and weary brain,
That rests until the morn;
There is a heart that beats with pain,
That feels no more forlorn,
Oh, Deaths fair brotherl how divine
Must be that slumber deep,
More sweet, more calm, more free than thine
When his Beloved sleep.

JOHN WEsLEY's FIRST SERMON IN AMERI-

some friends, proceeded recently to st. Simon s
Island, to visit and have photographed the
venerable live oak under the umbrageous
branches of which John Wesley, the founder
of Methodism, preached his first sermon in
America.
1t is probable that the picture will be en-
