Visa sort of colonial ocean, where a complete
drama ol empire was enacted. The fleets of
Jtaleigb, Drake, aod of most of the ereat navi
gators, were overhauled here. The little green
Island that you see to the right of the bridge
over the Susquehanna, at Havre-de-Grace, wa,
with the fi tile island of Kent, on the Eastern
Bhore, the foothold of Virginia in Maryland
her Fortress Monroe, so to speak, whence she
held the Culverts in check. There wa3 then no
Baltiinoie, the theatre of action being much
further down the bay, around Aunapolls, St.
Mary's liver, Accomac, and south of the
Potomac. In the evolution Baltimore wai of
bo little consequence that the fleet of Howe,
bound for Philadelphia, sailed Btraight past
her. But bctore this parts of the Chesapeake
were probably more actively navigated than
now. Along tho Eastern Shore, where scarcely
a steaaihoat ever goes nowadays say in
Accomac the Governor (Berkley) sought refuge
from rebellion five years before Perm's fleet
arrived off Chester. Jamestown had finished
Its history, and expired in the flames, five years
before Philadelphia was founded. That history
Of Jamestown, yoa must rememser, was nearly
as long, and covered as many administrations,
as this of the United States; for we have been a
nation only nineteen years more than James
town was a city.
In this history of Jamestown everything that
marks the life of a nation happened. The first
stock operation, corresponding to onr recent oil
fever, was that of 1C08, when, upon the basis of
enthusiastic! companies organized in England,
everybody on the Chesapeake went gold-mining.
Then there was the matrimonial market, where
women were wcrth their weight In tobacco.
Then the slave trade, w hose first cargo was an.
chored In ibe Chesapeake the very year that the
first abolitionists got oil the Mayflower. Then
there was the first overland expedition, when
John Smith, trying to get to the Pacific Ocean
by way of the Chickahomiuy, stuck in the mud
like McClellan within eight of Richmond, and
flanked out through his watch crystal. In the
year 1G20 nearly thirteen hundred emigrants
arrived hi the Chesapeake, as many as have
probably arrived in 1868. The size of the bay
you can begin to comprehend whan you recol
lect that Smith sailed 3000 miles within it and
Its river?. And tne Delaware river was named
by a Governor of the Chesapeake seventy-one
years belore Pennsylvania had an owner. You
Can't compare grey hairs with this part of the
World. Our Virginia forefathers bad cheated
three generations of Indians at thimble-rig and
three-card monte before a broal brimmed hat
appeared in Kensington under the treaty tree.
Revive to yourselves the picture of the Chesa
peake in those days vessels arriving from
England with imported bricks, said bricks
landed carefully by darkeys; the first hod.
carriers tending theoi np the sides of great
houses, such as still remain along the Chesa
peake. Oiber vessels come to with discharges
of cannon, and proceed to land church plate
old port wine, fox-hound?, sheep of certain
breeds. Then a lot of whaling vessels come in,
ad set up an oil factory, while they harpoon
whales in Elk river and in the Gunpowder.
Finally, a pirate ducks in between the capes,
chased by a frigate, and buries Spanish specie
In sacks at Big Bethel, where General Butler
afterwards found it. Packets are running "every
which way," from the Pocomoke, the Patuxent,
the Mattapony, to Jamestown, to St. Mary's, to
Hampton, to Norfolk. 'That was the sort of
Chesapeake that we used to have before we were
born. In those days came the grandmother Of
Washingtcn over with hsr prayer-book.
The CUcnaiieuke In 1S08.
Eee, now, the Chesapeake, in 18C8. A steamer
clears the lorjg lobes of the bay every teu days
for Bremen or Liverpool. For the first time in
a hundred and filly years, direct immigration
from Europe to the shores of the Cheapeake hts
been resumed. New towns are actually being
founded. Tbey are to make a city of West
Point,'up the r.ver York. Norfolk is doing a
better trade than it did at aay time before the
war. The Chesapeake U being flasked on both
sides with railroads, which will reach from
Point Lookout to Point Deposit, and from
Elkton to Capo Charles. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad is to bo completed, as it has
already been consolidated, and will ba the Bal
tlmore and Ohio's big rival. Down every neck
of the old Eastern Shore a railroad is being
laid, and Baltimore, in self-defense, mast ran
ferries to the termini of these. From
Crisrkld to Norfolk the Chesapeake is
ferried by five ocean steamers, as from Balti
more to Norfolk by the old Bay linei
one of the moat profitable inland marine com
panies iu the world. On the waters of th
Chesapeake and tributaries there run, according
to the best authority, one hundred and forty
steam vessels, sot including Government boats
Towns and settlements are springing up on both
sides of the bay. On the Eastern Shore, alone,
there a-e thesa new towns, just callsd into
existence, viz.: Harrington, CiaytOD, Wyoming,
Morton, Mount Pleasant, Kennedy ville, and
Crisfleld. The late General Charles G. Halpine
and friends started uear Dsnvillc a town
called "O'ltelllyville," with a basis of 12,000
acres of land. The richest man in Virginia

peako valley or basin is the largest
basinin America east of the Mississippi
valley, and it comprises the most ferlile lands,
To it is tubutary, by tho natural lines of water

and the whole of KaPtVneinia and Maryland. 1
Five millions of people live in this valley.

Islatid Lights have put Baltimore in communica
tion with Europe, so that she is altogether an
independent commercial city, loading up oil
and grain at the well and granary, aud break
ing bulk but once between the Ohio and the
North Sea.
The population of Baltimore is 300,000. B.
yond her commercial value, she figures as one
of the largest dispensaries of fre-h fruit, game
and fish in the world. South of the binltsof
Newfoundland there is no fishing ground like
the;Chcsapeake. Her bssln is the Amerisan B lr.

of migratory birls.
Within the past thirty years thso vast and
choice endowments of nourishment and luxury,
so giateful to the sink, so coveted by the epicure!
have been ruthlessly and wustef ully despoilad
by human cormorants of all latitudes. Swivels,
loaded with duck-iliot, have slain the gamo by
tbo ton. It is now dlflicnlt to approach a duck
so advised has the species become of its unhappy
value. In like manner the oysters have been
taken with dredges which destroy what they do
not capture, aud the rarest of the viandes of
nature wns rapidly disappearing, when, luckily
commerce, at predating what economy had lie
glected, hastened to save the oyster for pelf
sake. The oyster trade of the city of B4ltiuiore
is worth upwards of two millions of dollars a
year. It employs above a hundred vessels aud
several thousand sailors, openers, packers, etc.,
All the year round the wh jle of the great West
turns toward Baltimore at lunch tiato and says:
"I'll take a dozen raw." Half the eontinen1
with its mouth open, and Baltimore losing its
oysters by the svstematio thieving of all the
other Atlantic elties, was a subject of sorrow
next to conscientiousness. The result is on th
stocks, nearly ready to be launched.
The Oyster Police Ktenmboil,
There is nowhere in the world a steamboat
built for such a purpose. It demonstrates the
value of the Chesapeake oyster beds butter than
statistics. It cost about thirty thousand dollars,
side-wheeler, armed with carronades and board.
ing pikes; manned with a crew that koows
every hole aud inlet of Maryland waters; pro.
vided with boats to slip wherever a smack cm
shelter, over tho shallowest bars, this vessel is
to be a sort of municipal man-of-war, like your
city ice boat, aud she will overhaul, with or
without pitched battle, every foreigner seen in
Maryland waters, capture and confiscate vessels,
and carry prisoners to Baltimore. So, also, sho
will enforce the sanitary and produce lairs,
which are necessary to the oyster's full develop
meat acd to the preservation of health among
oyster-eaters. Carrying the State flag, she will
be a legitimate man of-war for State rights, and
possibly will afford in season, for those tortu
nate anough to know her officers, a cruise of
the Chesapeake, comparable for scenery, asso
ciation, and provender with any inland voyage
known to navigation.
Fancy such an excursion 1 We set sail from
the broad natural dock of Baltimore, aud
while the monuments recede behind us, and the
flag that inspired its own national song at Fort
Mc Henry goes by, we see ahead the deserted
castle of Fort Carroll, where our millions of
masonry lie sacrificed, incapable of rebutting
the arguments of modern armaments. Then the
great shoal light, off North Point, biases like a
neuralgic and befevered sun. We head down
tho Chesapeake. Yonder, .up the Severm
burn the lights of staid old Anna
polis, that never recovered heart after
Washington's Farewell Address. They eat oys
ters there when the wolf is at the door, and
with stewed oysters think themselves poor as
the shepherd ot bauisoury nam. flow we
explore the Patuxent, where the British fleet
ascended to burn Washington, and Admiral
Cockburn, sitting on a mule, ate Patuxent
"plants" on the half-shell, and, barbarian that
ho was, sighed ior Bnglish "natives." With
such a taste, any man could burn the Capitol
Now we are off Point Lookout, where the Kobe1
prisoners, like Don Quixote, sighed for the days
of chivalry, and some scolloped or toast, with
"flxius." St. Mary's river, cradle of tho State,
now reduced to a chew of tobacco and an oyster
b?d, basks in the contemplation ot its own an
tiquity, like a skipper in a cheese. Turning up
the Potomac, we pass many a cretk at whose
cool bottom the oyster, open-mouthed, lazily
sucks like a marine pig, and seeing a black bass
coming by hungrily, shuts up it shell aud gur
gles ior mischief. Quite a populatiou of oysters
there are, so far down,
"All that tread the earth
A its but a baudful to the tribes
That slumber la Us bosom."
Here Booth crossed with Harold, so near the
birthplace of Washington, which great chief, in
the height of his power, used to have a darkey
fill a bushel measure with "salts," aud he ate
them, as they were opened, with the point of his
immortal sword. The story of the hatchet and
cherry-tree is not half so effective as this. The
one makes you cry; at the other your mouth
waters. Sad, iudeed, weie the sacrifices of
Wahington. At Brandywlne, when the day was
dreadfully hot Sparks curiously omits this
story Lafayette observed the General look in
a nielanchoiy way to the South.
"Vat is dere, monperef" he said.
"At this hour," said the Geneial, "I always
miss my three fry with tomato catsup, and two
ci ackers thrown in."
To this Lafayette replied in a remark since
historic: "The world's my ojster."
He is said to have lived so long that this oyster
soured upon him.
From the Potomac across to the Eastern Shore
itf.au easy transition. Ploughing through tho
celebrated archipelago off the mouth ot the
Pocomoke, we come in sight of a stealthy fleet
ofcanaibal. By the cut of their hulls we in
stantly perceive that they hall from Dock street
wharf, Philadelphia, Then we pass the order,
"Man the cutter."
The end of all this trip is that Price, Torap
klns.Gray, etc., lose their orders for Chesapeakes.
We proceed iuto Baltimore vHh a Philadelphia
vesrel, and the honor ot Baltimore is viuli
