With these republics our trade Is nearly
reciprocal. The great excess of exports
during the few years Of the war, and one
or two years thereafter, may, In part, be
accounted for by many goods having cleared

In the May number of LippiHcotts' Magazine,
in the article on Wilmington aud it's Industries
occurs the following remark-"as for the chill

ring the same year Mr. Bonney and his nephew

MEETING OF THE CoRPoRAToRs, YESTERDAY
ELECTION OF oFFIoERs.
A meeting of the corporators Of the Baltimore
Chesapeake and Delaware Bay Railway Com
pany, for which charter was obtained at the
last session Of the Maryland Legislature. was
held Yesterday morning, in Baltimore for an
election of officers with the following result
President-DI. q. W. Goldsborough, OF Caro-
line county.
Directors-Dr. Alex Hardcastle and J. P.
Manloye, OF Caroline county; r. W. Earickson,
of Queen Anne's county; Sydney U. Long, OF
Baltimore, and John B. Pennington, OF Dover.
The route of the proposed road has been sur
veyed, and though it will bring lower Delaware
nearer to Baltimore than to Philadelphia, the
ultimate object, it is understood, is to make a
connection with New York other than that now
had by way of Philadelphia. The route selected
was originally one that had been agreed upon by
several gentlemen of Delaware, and who obtain
ed charter for the same, but falling to avail
themselves of the charter, it was repealed by the
late Legislature and one granted othe corpora
tors of the proposed new road.
There is at present road from LeWes, on
Delaware bay, to Harrington, and it is INTENDED
to run the road from Harrington to Queenstown
Md. by way of Greeuboro, where 1t will cross
the MARYLAND and Delaware railroad leading from
Oxford to CLAYTON. Kent Island will be the
MARYLAND terminus, and from thence steamboats,
will run to Baltimore.
In all about 80 miles of track will be required.
1t is proposed to create place of summer re-
sort at the Kent Island terminus of the road SIM
liar to Holly Grove, near Baltimore
A meeting of the directors will be held in a
few days, when the question Of opening books
for subscription to the stock Of the road. will be
dispuaaed

Another tale OF horror comes from the lava
beds. not less distressing than the murder of
General Candy, and vastly more humiliating.
Three companies of United States troops (prob-
ably one hundred and fifty men in al) went out
to look for the sixty Modoc warriors, who still
remain in their Inaccessible stronghold. They
were attacked by the savges with such fury that
all who did not run away were killed. Twenty
four men we're left dead among the rocks, and
fourteen of the wounded managed to escape and
get back to camp. Five are still missing, The
officers seem to have behaved with great gallan-
try. Three of them died like brave men, and a
fourth was carried off the field badly wounded

cooperating with the United States troops are
reported to- have taken four scatpS in another

quietly in ambush until the soldiers come within
range, and then shoot with as much deberatlon
