MEETING OF BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS OF THE S. V. r. R. co.

A meeting of the above mentioned board
was held, pursuant to a call of the President
of the Company, Hon. William Mcclellan, at
the Carter House, in this place, on Wednes~
day last, the 18th inst. We learn that the
committee heretofore appointed to arrange the
terms of traffic contracts with connecting
roads-the Pennsylvania, Cumberland Valley
been entered into with the corporations above
named, and that action had been taken in
favor of a like arrangement by the Western
Maryland road. The committee also reported
that other roads looking to the importance Of
the trade of the country through which the
Shenandoah Valley road will pass. have the
subject under their consideration, and will,
in all probability, at an early day, become
parties to the contract. Bat it is confidently
believed that on the basis Ct the contracts al
ready executed, the first mortgage bonds of the
Company can be negotiated in European
markets on very liberal terms and that during
the coming spring sufficient means will be
under the control of the corporation to COM
plete the work from the Potomac to the Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railroad, with which i. will
form junction.
The exact point Of connection or the North
has not yet been fully determined upon, but
it is understood that it will be at Beddington,
on the Martinsburg& Potomac road, via Shcp-
herdstown, on the route already graded to
the latter place.
Active staPs will at once be taken to aIcer-
tain at what rates the bonds of the road can
be sold, and the auspices under which they
will bo introduced and recommended to for
eigu capitalists fully warrant the belief that
they can be disposed of on most advantageous
terms. Our readers will. We are sure. be
gratiied to learn that there is thus a good
prospect for the construction of this road, il
which the citizen, of this county and the
valley generally are deeply concerned.
