Another revolution has occurred in SAB

mis- office on the 9th inst, and EN- barked
for Lsysgnz, Porto Rico. This
event WAS the result Of gen
eral rising Of the BaIzist
party in the streets of San Domingo.
Fighting followed and continued several
days. When President Gonzales heard
that the northern provinces had like
wise risen against him he resigned TO
prevent further bloOdshed and retired
to the L. 5. Consulate, whence he took
passage for Porto Rico. Immediately
after his reslgning provisions
government was organized and q

the principal cause OF Gonzales resigna-

mera, who the President had Away con-
sidered his best TREND and firm

heard that the general had joined
the revolution he gave up the struggle.

RAILROAD MATTERs,-On Friday
there were about 1000 cars loaded with
east bound freight side tracked at chi
cago. Of this number, 200 cars have
been turned over TO the Baltimore and
Ohio road for transportation East.
A vote of the people of Berkely county,
West Va, has been ordered to be TAKEN
on the 18th of FEBRUARY next upon
proposition to extend aid to the further
extension of the Martinsburg and Poto-
mac Railroad, changing the route 10
the Jefferson county line so as to con-
nect:with the Shenandoah Valley road at
Charlestown, and ultimately with the
Washington and Ohio at or near Berry
vile, in Clark county, Va. The pro-
posed subscription is limited to 'Sl6, Ooo
per mile, and is not to exceed sio,ooo IN
Observation-Disclosures San.
There are strong probabilities that the
corn and -four exchange of Baltimore
will bring suit against the Baltimore and
Ohio road for damages, it beng claimed
that the company had con-
trscted to transport corn to
Baltimore for 80 cents, and had
charged 80 cents, 5 cents more than the
contract price, and had refused to return
the overcharge. The claim of the com
pany is that they cannot return the
money because of the imposslDllty oil
collecting it from the western roads.
This claim is deemed unsatisfactory by
the committee of the exchange appointed
to investigate the matter, and they now
have the matter under Amusement rs to
whether they shall bring suit against the
company for the amount of the over
charge.
