OUR experience in the business which weadver-

the public that any work entrusted to US will be
executed in the most workmanlike manner, and
with the utmost dispatch. Having stood TO their
posts in the Confederate army during the four
years struggle which it so manfully encountered,
they have located in their native county, where
their services are offered in building up the waste
places. andincarrying impractical reconstruction.
Particular attention given at all times to the
drawing Of plans and specifications; and IN the
construction Of
GEOWETRICAL STAIR WAYS,
where calculation is required. they are confident
that they cannot be surpassed by any workmen in

deem il unnecessary to say more, than that orders

The N. Y. Sun, of Wednesday last,
In commenting on the recent great strike
among the mechanics employed by tn e
Erie Railway Co. at Susquehanna, says
1t appears to have been fomented from
Wall street, and to have for its Interior
object the entire stoppage of the road
for protracted period and the throwing
of the company into bankruptcy-all as
q stock-jobbing operation. The at
tempt having failed, as others have fail
ed before, the speculative gentleman
who set 1t on foot appear to be still me-
ditating how to accomplish their end.
Very likely they will now resort to the
Legislature, in the hope of procuring
there, upon representations and fabri-
Gated accounts, an order for a new
committee of investigation. They tried
1T last year, and at considerable ex-
ipehse to the State, the affairs of the COM
'pany were examined; but the design of
the stock jobbers was defeated. Whether
they can now succeed ip procuring a
repetition of this experiment is doubt
ful, especially as President Watson,
whose arrival from England is hourly
expected, will at ONCE lay before the
public conclusive reply to every as
sertion recently made respecting the
company.
