The meeting was harmonious aod pleas ant, and tha Doard of Directors, atimuh' ted by the recent donation of 8100,000 from Wells Couoty and 5100,000 from the City of llichmond towards this enterprise, fl entirely sanguinu that tbo rocd will be pushed to an eaily completion. The office of the Company is to bo removed at oncef rum Winchester to llichmond. The conduct of the city of Kichmoad in thus liberally donating to this enterprise is truly commendable. This city has always enjoyed the reputation of having a solid and substantial class of citizens, and correct, eoterpriaing business tuen. Unlike many other communities, they are not disposed to sit down and rust out for fear of rpendiug a little money. They seem to understand that this sum, la r ire .as it may seem, is only temporarily loaned, and that when the enterprise is once completed it will all return to them. We trust the diy is not far distant when the iron bond shall unite directly our town with tbo Qaakcr City. a waaa Gen. Grant Obeys Orders. Gen. Grant has inued the order rclicrinj Gen.

Tho Garno Law. Our sportsmen must bear in mind that quails are protected until the first of October. Tho game law, in brief, is as follows: It is uulawfdl to shoot deer from January 1st to October 1st; quails and pheasants from February ltt to October 1st; chickens from February 1st to August 15th; lutkeja from March Ut to September 1st.

October 1st to January 1st, quails and'pheasanta from October let to Fehroary lat, chickens from August 15th to February 1st, and turkeys from September 1st to March 1st. There is no law in this State against tho "tilling of docks. Flih must not be netted, trap ped, seined or shot for two years- from last May. i Shooting Affray at Harrison. On Monday evening about eight o'clock, the usually quiet town of Harrison, Ohio. was the tccne of a lloody affair, which will doublets result in the death of Uruce Keen. It appears that a John Smith, who keeja tavern in Harrison, had committod eon.e misdemeanor, fer which tho Marshal of the place had'determincd to place him in custody. Smith being made aware that he was to bo arrested, boldly defied the Marsbal.declaringthat there were not men enough in the town to take him. The Marshal, knowing the depcrato character of the individual he had to deal with, called upon several citizens to assist him in making the arrest. Having secured a strong posao, beadvauced with them upon Smith, who, difi ant as et cr, drew bis revolver, and threaten ed to shoot the first man who approached A rush was mudo for, him, and tho desper ado, true to his threat, fired at Keen, who appeared to bo in advance, the ball striking bim in tho abdomen, inflicting what i. thought to bo a mortal wounJ. The wounded man then sprang forwardi wrested the revolver from the hands of his assailant, and was in the act of shooting him down when his friends came forward and prevented bim. Smith was taken into custody. Health of Cincinnati. The monthly report of tho Health Oftccr of Cincinnati, Dr. Clendenin, is pub lished. It shows that the deaths during Angust numbered L'3C; while in August, 1SGG, they wero 1,817, a difference of 1, 4SI. No cholera was repotted last month; while a jcar age the deaths from that dis case numbered 1,133. Very few cases of either cholera morbus or cholera infantum wero recordod. Another War Foreshadowed. Information from all the surrounding oountics of Mary land is' to tho effect that the organization and drilling of military compauics is going on rapidly. Within a short time tho formation of cavalry companies has begun north vf Daltimorc, ou the lines rf travel.

A letter from Richmond to the - India napolis Juurnut, under date of August 2Cth, contains the following: CINCINNATI, RICHMOND AND TOUT WAYNE RAILROAD. Much interest has been felt by our entire community in regard to tho 6ucccs of thia railroad. Our city council, early in the year, made a mUtription of 550,000 to its stock to cii!uro the building tf tho road through this county. Thia was found insufficient to secure tho road to Winchester, as as contemplated, ulthouh tho I aC. money was juuicioneiv expended. At a subcqueU pciiod, Wells county pledged a subs-ctiption of one hundred thousand dollars to the first connection for u road through that county. In view cf this, parties iutcrcMcd havo made an effort, which has proved a success, for an. additional sum of one hundred tl.ouand in behalf of tho city; t!ie first twenty-five thousand payable when tho road U in running Older to Newport; tho second installment upon its completion Io Lynn; tho third when completed to Wirichc.-ttr, and tho fourth when it icachcs Ridgcvillc. This is intended to bo uted in the purehaso of iron, and will reach the end dcMrcd. It ii understood that the Western Railway King, Mr. Lord, will give us an independent and Southern Cincinnati connection with this road, and then our city will to ' hurkidora" on R. li'. Tho Hoard of Directors meet in the city to moirow, when probably the whole matter will be thoroughly digested and settled of all which y ou fchall bo duly notified, rönne. Our politics are slighty mixed. We are still threatened with our old calamijy of Julian for tho succession to Congress; but with the new district dispensation, and a new cundidsto; we are confident of obsolution from this curre.

Dear American, Some months sinco I concluded as the Rev. S. B. Malone, then of Indiana, butjinccof the old truc-bluo Democratic State cf Kentucky, was addressing letters to you from our town, and Dr. Clark was furnishing notes tif his tiip lies, it would be-little lc?s than impo.Mlion to inflict my communications on your readers. Somo weeks have, however, now elapsed without a word from cither of the gentlemen abora referred to, and I resume my. pen to write to you again as an itemiter in our pleasant village. And this, by the way, leads me to mention that our town was the scene of a frightful as well as deplorable conflagration on Saturday morning last, between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock. The fire originated, as is generally supposed, in the department ucd for bleaching hats and bonnets, cpnncrted with tho fancy store ond millinery ejilpblishmcnt of Mrs. 0. Williams, on-Mrfrkefstrcct, and owing to the inflammable character of the materials, spread with destructive rapidity to the cast ond west, wrapping in rapid and certain destruction the stove and tin shop of J. F. Taylor & Co., the carriage, drill, and agricultural implements shops of W. Si. J. Campbell, together with the dwelling house and millinery shop of Mrs. George Fenny, involving a total loss of six or eight thousand dollars. M rs. Williams had just completed a very nfco improvement in her property, having added a second etorv to the buildin and other material improvements bus making j it a very rretty and desirable rrot crty. t very pretty Her loss will amount to 6ome ' .1 threo thousand dollars, besides the interruption tn her business, with an insurance, I am told, of ono thousand dollars on the building. Mrs. Williams is one cf our estimable ladies, and ha the sympathy of all her neighbors, but the hope is generally entertained that her brothers, who arc abundantly able, will give her such assistance as will enable her to rebuild and re-establish her businesü, equal or superior to that destroyed. J. F. Taylor Si Co.'s loss vas "in stock and tools, but to what amount 1 am not informed. A few hundred dollars would doubtless cover their loss, on which there was no insurance. Messrs. W. & J. Campbell were the greatest suffvrcrs, who, besides tho interruption to their extensive busiucsSv will lose in inalciial, stock and buildings nearly fiyir thousand dollars, on which, however, ' they havo an insurance of fifteen bundled dollars iu tho Cincinnati Home Co. Mrs. Denny's lofs was considerable the mo io so, aa many n li lis lost or dc g troy cd were piired lar above their intrinsic value, from the associations connected with them. T he houso she occupied belonged to a Mr. I!atcitio:i, ncur Cheviot, hut was not of great value. And now. a few words by way of improvement, as" tfo I readers emttimes say, and wo cl!se for the tiCMiit. This fiif, it tee tv s to me, should teach us tho great necessity for some organization os a security ngainst like oCcurienccs. When first discovered, a little effort properly or: ganir.ed and directed wouM havo extinguished the flames and saved all the prop erty. Nothing couM te cone, however, iu thnt direction, because the fire buckets belonging to the corporation were out cf reach, and but little water was to te ob tair.eJ, as wc liave no wells or eistet ns prepared for such visitations; and of the hundreds collected to witness the scene, about seven of every ten stood gazing with their hands in their ecke Is, or wero woi king without concert and to very little purpose Let our City Fathers sco to it that we are speedily tetter prepared for a like contingency, should one anse. nd to our fiiends, the more immediate sufferers in this visitation, wc would say, "To enjoy lifo and bo hnppy, is the aim of all human existence." And this presupposes the ability of man, with Heaven's blessing, to remove the difficulties in the way. Were this not the case, ho had been altogether otherwise endowed.

The New York Tribune Calls for tho Arraignment of tho President. The New Tribune, which has of late been very conservative in its tone, has at laat seen the signs of the times, and comes out squarely in favor of impeachment. In its issue of Wednesday, after enumerating the President's offenses, it says: Where will this end? The President means war. The country must stand and fight, or bo defeated. We believe aaything possible of Mr. Johnson. His Administration is a record of deception, cunning, disloyalty antagonism to the best interests of the country. lie .has made the administration of Duchsnan respectablo by showing a degradation to which even Mr. Ruchanan could not sink. He has betrayed his party; he lias betrayed his frieuds; he has betrayed Lis country. Nothing is left of his Administration but a few miserable jobbers liko those who hang around him, and a few wretched political adventurers liko Rlack. Tbo men who accepted contumely for his causo liko Seward, and Randall, and Welles, h'o is impatient to drive out of his Cabinet. The savage, of Sahara is not insensible to the obligations of friendship; but even this no longer remains with Mr. Johnson. We.admouish the people to prepare for a stern and hij:h responsibility. It is nearly a hundred days until Congress meets. Till then w o are powcrloss. We can only l .I.. u-..i . mi. . it i dcnt rrcalc(1 l0 the country in his late ... u' i. i ... . .i i r Hil'SPaUO.

Tho New York Times, of August IsOili, Matters have gone too far to render doubt or misapprehension icusor.al.o. Mr. Johnson has entered upon i course which shuts out the last chance of reconciiiai ion, and renders all compromise impossible. Vows and protestations will serve l im no longer. I'rctvnet s of compliance with the law which he iv trying t)obttr.:c uri nj lunger admissible. Iii pirrot talk about the Constitution is lughcd ot vs sheer nonsense and hypocrisy.

The rcmai kahlo success of'the historical novels of Miss Muhlbacb' (Clara Mündt) w hieb have been published in this country must be ascribed to their deciJed merit and her surctior talents as a writer In a recent letter to the publishers, she thus states her mode cf preparation before commencing a work. "M must get acquainted with the land and peopll; must know the country, its inhabitants and cities exactly, in order-that I may represent vividly and Correctly. 1 havo never written a Look without having studied beforehand the thc-itic of events." "It may peihaps be said with justice, that these woiks are too historical for romances, and too romantic for histories. Unless one is exceedingly fatni iar with the real history of the times, he will never know whether he js reading history or only romance. Tho historical predominates in tl.cm, and most people will read tl.cm as histories rather than romances. As purely literary works, they possess a hih degree of merit, and prove that the writer has rare powers of analysis and description. They read so much like the genuine histories that from them alone it is impossible to say where tho real his tory cuds and tha romance begins, so com plctcly is tho resemblance maintained thru gloat. As tie p:oluttioi.s of a fema'e pen, tliey ore truly remarkable works The characters introduced arc all, or tienr ly all, historical, and if not all or al ways faithfully teproduccd, they are presented without tl o viclcnec t tl o gcr.o ally received history of the times. In the de lineation of female character sho is unequalled by any modern writer. Tho first five of these novels, published by the Applctons, 'deal chiefly with the German courts of the last century, and introduto a long pageant of splendid historical characters, such ns Joseph II., Frederick the Great, Mnii.i Thcrtsa.Quccn Dorothea, Voltaire, and Rousseau. The fuir. author winds easily through the mazes of diplomacy,- i equally at home in cabinet councils, and in queenly boudoirs, in conversaziones ot philosophy, and has tho small gossip of s cicty at her tonguo's end. liven her battlo scene:", trying to a woman's pen, oro good. It will be hard to find amonr the ranks of authors of either sex, for the past generation, any one so versatile as she an I to uniformly excellent. These havo been followed up to dato by "Louisa of Prussia" an ) M rie Antoinette and her Son." This latter voliimo is ono cf tho most interesting of tho series. It piesents with historical accuracy the most eventful epoch in French annals. Mario Antoinette was the most fuBi inating woman that ever held n position in tho French court. The daughter of Francis I. of Austria, sho married, nt tho ago of fifteen, tho Dauphin of France, who afterwnrd became Louis XVI. Tho ureat French Revolution of 178U was then in embryo, and as -the character of Louis was too weak to cotittol circumstances r shape events, tho corruption and profligacy of a portion of society becatuo sooptfn and ihamclsi, and oppressive upon the poople, that they lost and upot every ibitaclc.
