BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD. Important Meeting of Directors. A regular meeting of the Directors of the | Baltimore and Okio Railroad, was held yester- day in Baltimore, and there was an unusually large attendance. si The reports from the different departments exhibited a fail maintenance of the condition of the road, machinery and organization of the company for a continued large busine: The Committee on transportation submittea &@ contract bet ween the companies forming the route from Chicago to Bellaire, via Monroc- ville and Newark, by which the Newark, San- dusky and Mansfield railroad agrees to alter ite gauge between Newark (a point on the line of the Central Ohio road) and Sandusky, from the present width of 5 feet 4 inches to 4 feet oN inches, eo that cars can be loaded in Chicago and ron through without pene to Bellaire opposite the terminus of the Itimore and Ohio road on the Ohio river. This route will be sixty-six miles less in distance than the line used at presen! via Toledo, and will present to the commercial interests of Baltimore a direct connection with Sanduky, which possesses one of the finest harbors upon Lake Erie, and will fornish to the Baltimore and Ohio line a most desirable and vastly improved communication with Chicago and the Northwest. The contract was approved of, and it was stated that the guage is now being changed, and this valuable avenue will be open for the commerce of Baltimore and Washington du- ring the present winter. James L. Randolph, Esq., was appointed the coineer to take charge of the building of the ridver. The Directors declared a dividend of six per cent on the stock of the main stem of the road, and a dividend of five per cent on the stock of the Warbington Branc! Toad; the U.S. tax to be paid by the company. The President (J. W. Garrett, Esq.,) reported the road in @ most prosperous condition, not- withstanding the frequent interraptions by the enemy. With three intervals of possession by the enemy of portions of its route during the past fiscal year, yet for an aggregate period of six months and ten days the company bad control ot its entire line for transportation between Balumore and its termini on the Ohio river. ‘The romney. has thus been enabled to partici- pate partially in the large revenues being earned by the Northern Atlantic trunk lines, and the results of its business are such that the executive had it in his power to recommend the proposed dividend of six per cent. on the main stem, thus making the dividends equiva- to aes per cent. per annum from 1858 to this period. The sinking funds have been fully main- tained during this difficult period. On the tet of October, 1862. the aggregate of the sinking funds, for the redemption of the mortgage debts and ground-rents, amounted to $1,037,+39 99, and on the Ist of October, 1563, to $1,216,411 21. . At the former date the amount of the sink- ing fund for the redemption of the five million city loan was $912, 72, and on the Ist of October, 1863, it was $859,965 24, exhibiting an Aggregate increase for the twelve months of $255,851 74. The company has continued to make all its purchases for cash, and therefore is free from soy floating debt. It also reserves, in avail- able assets and uncollected revenue, a large sum, regarded as quite adequate for the recon- struction of its bridges, the restoration of its | Works, and for effecting desirable improve- ments upon its line. —————— a7 A firm in Essex, Macs., are building a henery which will occupy six acres of ground.

We are very certain from facts within our knowledge, that General Meade has been well advised of Lee’s purpose to attempt his current movement upon the right flank of. our army. This is evident in the celerity with which Meade has moved his army so as to confront Lee in a position of his (M.’s) oWn choice, at the same time losing nothing of stores, muni- tions, or aught else; ample preparations to se. cure which (in anticipation of such an effort on Lee's part) were made quite ten days since At this hour it is not known here that there has been any fighting to speak of to-day upon the front. If not, we do not believe that Lee will continue his current attempt to advance in this direction. THE FIGHTING YESTERDAY.

Ford, of Ford’s The- ater, in facilitating her arrangements in regard to this benefit. His Theater was placed at her disposal with all the attraction of his excellent company, but when My. Grover most kindly made the same offer Mr. Ford gave his hearty censent that the benefit should take place at Grover’s New Theater, because the support in 8 Shakesperian play of the great combination ofDavenport, Wallack and Mrs. Farren, was very desirable. Thus the generous offer of Mr. Grover is made effectual by the equally gener- ous consent with Mr. Ford, with whom a prior arrangement existed. This sta*ement will put both gentlemen in an equally favorable light with the public.

Mahoney was held to bail in #250 for court. Dacy proved that he was not concerned in the theft, being at work in Alexandria at the time, and was dismissed. Another boy concerned remains at large.—Geo. Davis was afrested for stealing from Joshua Rollins a paint-bucket, paint, and brashes. Davis was 6 stranger, and Mr. Rollins, in charity, gave himemployment. Davis showed hie gratitude by stealing the articles, which are highly valued as relics by the owner. He ad- mitted the theft, and was sent to jail for court. Seige —t Rixe Ficut.—About seven o'clock, last sight, a crowd of grown men and youngsters with slightly discoloured fuzz on their upper lips, indicating their ardent hopes ot an early Tecognition by the “Fancy” of their claims to perfect manhood, formed a ring at the corner of Tenth and F streets, around two little boys, hardly taller than 8 pair of cavairy boots, who were engaged ina fight. The manly crowd ex- hibited eager delight in the exhibition; and as the juvenile fighters gave utterance to the grossest Prcranlly, they were applauded. The disgraceful scene continued until officer Lusby of the Third Ward arrived, and taking the infant-pugilists away, dispersed the ‘manly crowd.” The little tellows were taken to the Third Ward Station, and after an appropriate toceure from Sergeant Skippon, they were re- leased. paeenee Cee ee Fourta Warp STaTion Casss.—Matthew Dillon, nuisance; dismissed.

He made several purchases at Bontz & Griffith's furnishing store, on Seventh street, and visited several other houses for alike purpose. Since that day Mr. Harrison has not been seen by any of his friends in this city or in Alexandria, and they strongly suspect that he has been murdered. —————_—— Tau Opp FRLLows Leven last night for the benefit of the I.

Up to 2% p. m. to-day, no information what- ever bad reached this'city indicating that the two armies in our front had joined battle since yesterday. The fight of yesterday, resultingin & complete Union success, was commenced with apparent desperation by theenemy, which changed to discretion on their part by 11 a. m.; by which hour we had taken their most ad- yanced battery afd a hundred prisoners. From the manner in which Lee withdrew his attacking force, it was evident that he did not anticipate ior it the reception it received. As brilliant as was his movement, to dash in between our army and Washington, the man- ner in which it was anticipated, prepared for and checkmated, was even more brilliant. Itis believed that he acted under the im- pression that our army of the Potomac had not only been largely depleted to reinforce Rosecrans, but also to enable the soldiers to vote on the day before yesterday in the differ- ent States where elections were then held. It will not be long hence, we apprehend, ere he obtains reliable information on that point, if he perseveres in his current movement. ees eniee se 852 eal all FOR THE FRONT. Major General Sickles, and’ the following members of his staff, viz: Col. O. H. Hart, A. A. G. and Chief of Staff; Maj. H. E. Tremain, A. D. ©; Capt. T. W. @. Fry, A. D. ©, and Capt. Alex. Moore, A. D.C., left the city this afternoon in a special train for the tront. Gen. S. desires to be present, at least, if not to par- t cipate in any coming conflicts. His very presence will, no doubt, inspire the gallant veterans of the Third Corps, who al- most worship their gallant commander. Gen. S., it is well known, has never relinquished the command of the corps; and it has been understood that Gen. French was only in com- mand temporarily, and until such time as Gen. Sickles would be again able to take the field. Gen. S. looks remarkably well notwithstand- ing the loss of his leg. Messrs. W. B. Cutter and M. Mealey, the corps purveyors, accompany the General and his staff in order to supply their personal wants. Master G. A. Sherman, the little soldier whe has been successively with Generals Kearney, Birney, Stoneman and Sickles,and whose face has lately been familiar to the visitors at the White House, accompanies the General, being attached to his personal staff. INCIDENTAL. Parties arriving from Fairfax say that the cannonading heard from the fighting near Bristoe Station was yery heavy trom yesterday morning about sunrise continually to 11 o’clock a.m. This firing was heard in Georgetown yester- day, a distance of over thirty miles. Veteran campaigners say that there never before has been made a movement upon the scale of that lately made by Gen. Meade, carried out with 60 little loss. A car-lozd of subsist- ence. stores beyond Culpeper, and a small quantity of ammunition stores at Bealeton, (found inconvenient to get away at the last moment, ) covers the total of property destroyed in the whole movement.
