BY JOHN O. SAXE. Heaven help ns all I-in these terrific days t The burning sun upon the earth is pelting With his directest, nerclest, hottest rays, And everything ia melting 1 Pat men. Infat?ate, ian the stagnant air. In ash essay to cool their inward glowing. While with each stroke, in dolorous despair, They feel the fervor growing I The lean and lathy find a fate as hard, For, all a-dry, they bum like any tinder Beneath the solar breeze, till wither'd, cbarr'd, And crisped away to cinder 1 The dogs lie tolling in the deepest shade, The pigs aro all a-wallow in the gutters. And not a household creature-cat or maid But querulously mutters 1 E'en stoics now are in the "melting mood," And vestal che ka are most unseemly florid, The very zone that girts the primest prude Is now intensely torrid I " Tis dreadful, dreadful hot I" ?TtdaiTn? each one Unto his sweating, sweltering, roasting neighbor, Then mops his brow, and pants, as he had done ? quite herculean labor I And friends who pass each other in the street. Say no "good morrows" when they come together. But only mutter, if they chance to meet, "What horrid, horrid weather I" What prudent mortals curb with strictest care AB vagrant curs-it seems the queerest puzzle. The Dog Stn- rages, rabid through the air. Without the slightest muzzle I But Jove ls wise and equal in bis sway. However it seems io clash with human reason. His fiery dogs will soon have had their day. And men shall have a season I \ ASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA RALL- ] ROAD. A convention of the stockholders of this road met on Wednesday, August 14. R. M. HOOKE, Esq., of Chattanooga, was elected Chairman. GOT. J. E.

H. Calloway, and are now on file, and the decision of said judges that no part of the railroad company or city trans? ferred stock could ever be voted in any election for 1 Directors after ita transfer. On motion, M. Burns was appointed on the Committee to wait on CoL Hamal, United States Government Agent, in place of E. A. neebie, not present The following resolution was then offered by Gov. J. E.

Landis, of Bedford county.4201 William 8. Huggins, of Coffee county...4204 A. E. Patton, ot Grundy county. 4251 E. W. Cole, of Georgia.4165 John F. Anderson, of Franklin and Marion_4489 It was therefore unanimously resolved by the Convention of stockholders (about two-thirds of J the entire capital stock of the company now here represented) that said decision of the Judges of Election is hereby reversed, and that the ticket tendered by the City of Charleston and the Geor? gia Railroad and Banking Company, and by each of the persons above named, be counted for the said Thos. H. Calloway and others on the ticket with him. * Resolved furtiier. That said persons last named having received the highest number of the legal votes tendered by the stockholders, are duly and legally electee Directors of this Co m pan v for the ensuing year, with all the powers incident to that position. On motion, a report from a majority of the committee appointed to confer with Col. Hamil], United States Government agent, was read as fol? lows: The undersigned, a majority of the committee appointed to confer with Col. Ham OJ, the agent of the Government of the United Slates, beg leave to report that they have discharged tbatdutv. Col. Hamill exhibited to them full and plenafv power to represent the Government in the collec? tion of its claim against the company, contracted by M. Burns, aa President of tho road, for en g}11^8. c*T supplies, and to enforce rayment, stating that he considered himself authorized to take possession of the road and appoint a receiver if satisfactory arrangemente are not nude. He also exhibited an order lrom the BetvZ tary of War, through Gen. Thomas,rS?ng\,m" to enforce collection, and a copy of a teleVram from the President of the United States1 Htto? that M. Burns, the President of the road han given the assurance that he could arrange to'meet Ute claim by the 20th of this month, upon which the President advised that time be given till then. CoL Hamill also informed us that M Burns had been notified not to pay the late di vii dend or any dividend till the government debt was satisfied. He stated .that ?98,000 of in? terest is now due and unpaid upon the claim, which must be paid by the 20th inst, or no longer indulgence will be given, and that the whole debt ?p? be paid by monthly instalments as fast as the road is able to pay out of iU earnings, and that no further dividend to the stockholders will be permitted by the government till the debt is pata off. He stated further that the government did not pretend to take sides in the election lor officers of the road, nor would it intefere as be? tween the two boards, as all it wanted was its money, and thia it was determined to have, sad that it had been put off and baffled by Mr. ; Bu rus aa long as it intended to bo. When aBked if there was no probability of the claim ot the road for the use of track during the war against the Government being allowed as a set-off against this claim hy the Government, ho replied not the slightest, as a railroad was considered as an in? strument of war, much moro valuable than a bat? tery of artillery, and thal the Government was no moro bound to" pav tho uso of tho ono, when cap? tured, than the olher; that if tho company ever got anything ou that account it must be a matter of grace, and not of r'ght. Your committee are satisfied that this places the affairs of the road in a precarious condition, and dissipates all the delusivo hopes of a settlement of this claim by setting off our claim ou tho Gov? ernment against thin debt by which tho stockhold? ers bavo been deceived by Mr. Burns?, the Presi? dent of the road, in his lalo canvass for re-elec? tion. Upon an examination of the charter, your com? mittee deny the right of Slr. Burns, tho Premdont of the road, and tho then acting Board of Direc? tors to contract this debt, and insist that it was done in violation of tho charter of the company. They, therefore, hold that said President and Direitors, and not tho company, aro liable for said deb", and in tho event tho road is seized by tho Government, or the com) any is otherwise com? pelled by tho Government to pay said debt, your committee recommend that the Directors of the said road bring suit against Burns and the Direc? tors who united with him in contracting said debt, except such as protested according to law for the recovery of said sum thus illegally taken from the road, and for the indemnity ol tho road against any loss or damage sustained on account of this illegal contract. All of which ia respectfully sub? mitted, JOSEPH E. BROWN, JOHN P. KING, HENBV CORIA. After reading tho report, the following resolu? tion was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the* above report of the Commit? tee be adopted as the action of the Convention of stockholders, and that suit be ordered as therein recommended. On motion, the Convention adjourned. B. M. HOOKE, Chairman. J. 8. BUTLER, Secretary. At an adjourned meeting of tho stockholders of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Company, an appeal having been taken from tho decision of the judges who held the election for a Board of Directors for said road, in which election the said judges decided to exclude the vote of the City of Charleston, South Carolina, and of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, as stockholders in said road, in pursuance of the resolution adopt? ed there wan an election held by i .allot, in which there were 7255 votes wat in favor of the reversal of the decision of the judges excluding the said vote of the City of Charlestun, South Carolina, and of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, and none in favor of sustaining the same. R. M. HOOKE, Chairman. August 15, 1867. COMMERCIAL. Tbe Charleston Cotton Market. OFFICE OF THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, 1 ;!mm.?imiv, Monday Evening, August 19, 1867.

NSW ORLEANS, August 15.-COTTON-The market opened this morning with a liberal inquiry and a fair prospect of business. Lat r in the day. however, t e movement was brought to a stand-still, partit' by the in? ability of parties to find the descriptions required, but principally by the fact that buyers' orders did not au? thorize them to pay the rates demanded by holders. Un? der these circumstances the day's transactions have been unusually light, aggregating at the close barely 200 bales, taken by lour brokers, at irregular but firmer prices, the market closing at our quotations, with a hardening ten? dency. With the above remarks, we rei eat nominally as follows: Ordinary 20Sa22Sc; Good Ordinary 23,Sa24Sc; Low Mading 26a-c, and Middling 28a-c.

New York Market. MONET MARKET. The New York Commercial AdvertUrr, of Saturday, August 17th, says: The money market continues easy. The v roce sw of withdrawal of funds to the Weet, however, bas set in, and the loanable resources of the banks have been drawn down somewhat, from this cause, during the week. The banks however, still hold large surpluses, and are ready to lend at 4 per cent, on average stock collaterals. The Compound Notes, due on the 13th, are coming in from the interior banks quite freely. The Sub-Treasury pays in redemption about one-half Legal Tenders and the balance ia bank currency. Should tbt<- ratio be maintained In the redemption of the whole $20,000 ooo outstanding, the result will be a virtual withdrawal of $10,000,000 of Legal Tenders. The loss will probably be widely distributed but the effect must nevertheless bc perceptible in this market as tho monetary centre of the country. There is a more active demand for funds for trading purposes, which is generally responded to by the banks, which appear very generally to anticipate a fall trade devoid of special risks. Prime paper is current at 6*?a 6Sper cent. we are credibly informed that the defalcations on the Tradesmen's Bank are not likely to exceed the estimate made yesterday, viz : $97,000. The bank holds assets which are expected to reduce the net loss to $75,000. PRODUCE MARKET. NEW YORK, August 17-2 P.
