The Board of Directors Of this company
met in Baltimore, on the Goth of November
The most important item of business transact
ed was the unanimous adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution, offered by Mr.. Stevenson
Archer:
ReSolDed, That the grading, masonry and
trestle work of the road, from the Big Gun
powder to Delta, be contracted for on the
18th day of December next, and that the
Executive Committee and Chief Engineer in
the meantime carefully examine all bids and
report to directors for their action and that
the Collector and Treasurer proceed at once
to collect the ten per cent. heretofore called
for, in order that the work may progress i'm
mediately after that date. -
This, right or wrong, means business, and
it would seem that the Board has fully made
up its mind to undertake the building of the
road. We know the proverbial prudence
and intelligence of the gentlemen COM
posing the board. We know too, that
those thirteen men have subscribed more than
one-tenth of all the stock on the books, and
Therefore we feel confident that all that is
wanted to make this the greatest project the
people of the counties, in their collective ca
pacity, ever undertook, n success, is for
them to give the Board that material support
which the directors must feel sure of receiv-
ing.
Thus far the Board in offering the work to
contractors has confined itself to that portion
lying between the Great Gunpowder and
Delta This is eminently proper, y and from all
we can learn of the sentiments of the directors,
their purpose is to provide for the entire grad
ing and masonry of this portion of the line
before taking any action looking to the eX-
penditure of money between the Gunpowder
and Baltimore. True, they have purchased
the Maryland Central road, but this is justified
by every consideration Of COOL policy, and
as the aggregate cost Of the road is only
50 500, it cannot be said they paid too dearly
for it.
We hope now since the Board has decided
to take this big step forward, it will have the
hearty CO operation of every subscriber
Now is the time, during this period of low
prices of labor and material, and abundant
supplies in the barns of our farmers, to push
this work and if it be so done, we have no
doubt success will soon crown our efforts

CoNGREss.-The second session of the
Forty.fifth Congress commenced at Washing
ton on Monday. In the Senate Mr.. Beck,
Democrat, of Kentucky, introduced bill for
the retiring of the trade dollar, and for its
recoinage into the standard silver dollar
Mr.. Voorhees,, Democrat, of Indiana, offered
a resolution of inquiry into the expediency
of making the trade dollar legal tender for
all debts, public and private, and for its re-
coinage, as proposed by Mr.. Beck. Mr..

bate may be expected.
The Democrats will offer an amendment

BooTnBY HILL, MD, Dec. Sd, 1873
To the Editor of The -kfl1is d; Intelli1ence,..

To tie Editor of The 1Egis d. Inteligencer:
SIR: I notice in the last issue of your pa
per an allusion made to the "Cal" recently
issued by the Grove Presbyterian Church,
which evinccs that your correspondent had
so carelessy read the Call" ms to entirely
misnterprct its language and to msunder-
stand its object; and for fear Others may bc
influenced into the same error, | deem it
proper to inform your readers more explicit
ly, though briefly, the causes that led to the
"Call' and also the result that was reached
by it. In The first place, we believe the hours
of the Sabbath to be consecrated time, and
tina, GCd commands His people on this day
to cease from their labors, to abstain from
worldly pleasures, and to "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" We believe
also, that in belongs to the church to protest
against every movement that intrnges upon
the sacredness of the Lords day or tends to
seculariZe it.
Now, it must be admitted that the running
of Sunday trains is a dissertation of The Sab
bath which will prove demoralizing to The
community, because men are required to
perform their daily avocations regardless of
the teachings of the fourth commandment
Many, also, who would otherwise be in the
house of God, are attracted by the trains to
pleasures in the city, or by lettering around
the depots. In fact, the every tendency of
running Sunday trains is to seculariZe the
Sabbath, and to educate the people to disre-
gard the sacredness of the Lords day. 1t
was not, however, the object of the Gall" to
assemble the people TO consider means of
stopping Sunday trains, or TO demonstrate or
engender any feeling against corporations
or individuals; but, as the language of the
"Call' clearly states, ito take such action as
may be deemed best to counteract the evil
tendencies of these movements"
There is no statement in the "CalP' that
the postoffice at Aberdeen or elsewhere is
opened on the Sabbath, but the fact that
there exists rumor to that effect is sufficient
to attract the attention Of Christian people.
The lawless practice of Sabbath cunning
has also become quite common of late, and
every Sabbath, from the shores and swamps
may be heard the reports of guns.
1t was the knowledge of the degenerating
influence of these and other actions that in.
duced our church to issue the "Calp' for
public meeting of the citizens of this section
to consider the Sabbath question The re-
suit of the Gall" was very gratifying, as re-
ports from the various parts of the county
show n deep and awakening interest in the
subject. Owing TO the wheather and to
funeral in the neighborhC oil the attendance
was not as large as was expected, but repre-
sentatives from the different churches were
present and fully identified themselves with |
the cause. Every one present seemed to be
impressed with the truth that the Sabbath |
lay and all its precious privileges is gift of
mercy from God, as strong arm, by which |
he Christian church is to accomplish its |
