JANUARY 26. 1859. Cjjt WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26,1869.;. Through Baltimore to Washington, There is much beauty, with little- variety, in the scenery between Philadelphia and B&tl more. So thought we', a few days ago, when travelling upon that line, for the first time on route to Washington. For what can be charming than the journey, to Wilmington,* with our noble Delaware in view, not continu ously but in frequent glimpses, - almost all ihe way. . The rapid flow of a noble river, irre sistibly hurrying onward, to lose its separate existence in the mighty ocean, may remind one.of the course of human existence, ever going forward, nntil It he lost in the far-off depths of Eternity. • i Miu’s life is but a voyage. By the shore Of 1 sunny youth, his barque atrhile doth float } 'Till comes tbe fresh'aing of the'-breeze oad tide' To seod It far abroad. There, with the waves, It buffets bravely—holds Its forward - Despite of lull or tempest -puaeß ships Of statelieralse and sail—is left Itself, l Oft, far behind by little tiny boats Ohe aoaroe would trust upon a wavelets lake—r Beaches the port of Age, with kattored hulk, , ■ .

Dallying with Danger on Life’s troubled sea. ' Then, after leaving Wilmington—quite a' bijou of a city, so neat in-appearance, and So,' charmingly situated, in the heart of a beauti fhl agricultural district—wo see Delaware bond off,'and the road has a more landward path.. But if tbe train runs, so does the honr, and soon we reach Havre-de-Grace— slightly dif ferent from its commercial namesake France. Different, indeed, in many things^- 1 for, if our Havre has not tbe Bhips which crorW the port of its French namesake, it is vaitly superior in the river which ilowshy it. What is the tiny Seine; even though it does divide stately Paris, to our own beautiful Susquehan na, which falls into Ohesapeako Bay, just (by Hayre-dfl-Grace ? Who; that has seen, can'foK get the steam-ferry, with its perpetual oystert stews and its eternally hot coffee 1 But, the river crossed, forward rushes the train, and. during tbe remaining six-and.thirty miles wp skirt along Ohesapeako Bay. At last we reach a street of diDgy brick-houses, which lookaa If they had been built some centuries backi and—a sudden jerk—the train stops—and vrp are in Baltimore. *£; In sooth, a large place, and ancient—as anti quity takes rank in this great country, where,'- after all, the mighty forests are older than the greatest cities which Civilization has built up, Baltimore itself has a pleasant aspect, fro&i Iho light-colored bricks with which, its houses are! principally built. Good streets, Baltimore street especially, with its rich and handsome store. —but to dirty I At what lily mote period Baltimore waß subjected .to tjs. broom of the scavenger, this deponent knot|r oth hot.

Ariohclty it Is, and may well be proud of the industry and enterprise of its li habitants, a large proportion of which itf. eludes the German element. Tho manufac tures of Baltimore are steadily increasing, and her commerce has rapidly advanced, of lata years. Flour and tobacco have her; strength, and cotton (of which thore dig; some lino factories) has largely added to big means. Her foreign commerce-is not veijjr extensive, hut her coastine trade is From Maine-to ,‘Poaaui tha arefunWeriallytobefouna. " Baltimore has a highly respectable and talented pfess. We' usually judge of a place by its newspapers, and this test eaables us to form a high estimate of the intelligence of Baltimore. There are two German newspa pers—the IVeker, (Awakener,) owned and partly editod by Mrs. Sousactke, is spirited and has many admirable political and social articles. Among the Baltimore papers, the Dtfily Exchange merits notice, aathe young est-born. It is large-sized, ably written, and has Its general and loqal intelli gence admirably arranged and condensed.' Of the Baltimore Sun , which has a large oironla tion, the most noticeable feature is the con stancy with which it pratsingly quotes from, and eulogistically comments upon, the leading articles oi the Philadelphia Ledger. This most disinterested criticism and quotation is absolutely refreshing, amid the ordinary fends and squabbles of rival papers I What socloty may be in Baltimore, q moro passer-through cannot declare. A few days’ visit did not enable ns to come to any opinion upon the matter. Theatrical amusements are not very much encouraged, though Aouesßo bebtson and Dios Bodjoioault drew good houses at Holiday-street Theatre, while we were there, and were supported by an excellent stock company; Piocolomini, a few days later, was seen and heard, by the Balti moreans, at a Concert, and attracted a large and even brilliant audience. Balls and those entertainments abominably named hop, — a vulgar nomenclature, which has even been adopted in the polite circles of Washing ton I—are much in vogue, during at least six months of the year, and are said to bo very lively, at all events. We heard that these amusements are chiefly got up by the foreign population. The new Assembly Rooms, in Hanover street, are said to be well adapted foK balls, “hops,” lectures, and public meetings. The public buildings of Balti more aro not remarkable. The City Hall is inferior to any building, under the same de signation In almost any country town in Penn sylvania. The Mechanics’ Institute, certainly a very fine building, would bo highly ornamen tal to any city. The Exchange, part of which is occupied as a Custom House, is spacious, with small claim to architectural excellence. The Post Office, now in course of erection, or rather of expansion, by the United States money, promises to be a fine building. When we saw the Court House, so spacious, and even elegant, we blushed at the recollection of the non-accommodation, In Philadelphia, for judges, counsel, witnesses, and the pub lic j bnt nearly every principal county town (n Pennsylvania has better courts of law than Philadelphia, her great metropolis. The Maryland Institute, though rather a plain building, is sufficiently ornate, and has space enough for convenience and accommo dation. Among other attractions, It now con. tains a Panorama, showing scenes and events In the Indian War, chiefly executed by Mr. Wexdendaou. who has ably painted the land scapes, the figures being drawn by Mr. Enke. The Almshouse and the State’s Prison are also well adapted for their respective purposes —the reception of the poor and the criminal. The Catholic Cathedral, with Its twin Sara cenic towers—like the minarets of All Souls’ College at Oxford, and those oi the Cathedral in Seville—ls the finest ecclesiastical building in Baltimore. Its noblo organ, too, Is truly magnificent. The Unitarian churches are also handsome. Grace Church (Protestant Episcopal) is a fine Gothic temple in red sandstone. These are all we noticed, out of over one hundred and twenty churches for all religious denominations i for when it did not rain, in Baltimore, during our visit, it was so frosty that we cared not to faco the cold, or so foggy that wo could scarcely see one hundred yards before us. Education is well attended to in Baltimore, bnt tho religion of the majority being the Catholic, the principal seminaries and insti tutions are Catholic also. There are several excellent public libraries, which are extensive ly need. Yet tho number of booksellers in Baltimore Is comparatively few. The prinol pal bookstore is kept by. Mr. Jons Muarnt, publisher of tho Catholic Almanack, which was commenced twenty-seven years ago, and is understood to be semi-official. It statistics are copious and curious. The Public Schools of Baltimore, by all ac counts, are oxtromely well organized and pro- periy conducted. They are managed by the city government, and with such liberality that the, Bible is daily read in every school—the version of 1012 to the Protestant children, and thepouay version to the Catholics, In separate rooms. The Feabody Institute, founded by the liberal American banker in London whose nanie it bears, will be at once an ornament and advantage to tho city. It has yet to re ceive “a local habitation,” and the place se lected is directly opposite to'the Washington Monument. A gallery for paintings and sculpture, an extensive library, and first-class lectures and concerts, are to betheleoding ad vantages which the Baltimoreans will receive from this foundation, to which Mr. Peabody, truly a merchant-prince, has appropriated half a million dollars. The private educational establishments of Baltimore are nnmerons and good. Of one we pan speak from personal knowledge, for we devoted several bonrs to tbe examination of its whole course of study, from tho rudiments of knowledge communicated to the youngest children, to the higher branches of languages (living and dead), mathematics, natural phi losophy, botany, ethics, and also all the qnali ficatlonswhich complete general and commer clahedacation. This is a German and English Institute, conducted by .Hr. Frederick Knapp, an intelligent and well-informed Ger man, with numerous assistants. In a, very few years, it has so much extended that the pn pils in' this series oi schools are now nearly five' hundred in number. The discipline chiefly uped, is that of kindness—the most powerfhl and Improving, when genially. ap plied, with thoughtful judgment, to the gene rous and susceptible miqd of youth. Tb speak of the Monumental City without noticing the Monuments, would be to perform the'tragedy ef Hamlet, with «the part of Hamlet omitted, by particular desire.” From the water, you undoubtedly get the most favor ablo view of Baltimore. It is built upon hills, and) from below, presents the appearance of a city 1 , rising to those building-covered summits in a series oi terraces. In this prospect the principal monuments loom out in tho distance, handsomely enough. The finest of these is the Washington Monument, which, from base to summit, is one'bundred and seventy-five feetjhigh, and certainly is a fine specimen of dignified simplicity. The Battle Monument seems as If it had been intended for something much higher than it is, but bad been curtailed by want oi hinds, and hastily concluded. In a word, it looks Btnmpy. The Armistead Monnment, which also commemorates the bravery displayed by Baltimoreans, in the last war with England, is much more completo and expressive. As life ends with. the grave, so may this notice, fitly end with mentioning that, like most great American cities, Baltlmoro bos several picturesque cemetories—neither so numerous nor so handsome as those of Phila delphia, Boston, and New Tork, but yot well located and neatly kept. Although the lower streets are nearly level .with the water, and part of their foundation has.been made on what was marsh, Baltimore has tbe reputation of being very healthy. This may arise from its drainage, which is said to he very good Indeed. Legislative. Pending tbs tariff resolutions in ths House, -General B. A Sbaeffor, Senator from Lnnoaster, maddUie following remarks: Mr. Shueffer trusted the Semite would not en tertain the proposition of the Senator from Chester to postpone the consideration of ths resolutions at this time. It was no fault of tho Senate that he had not read the resolutions, bat of the Senator himself. They, had been dboassod, ably and at length in tho other branoh, and that disottssion, as Well as the resolutions themselves, had been made ,r»hlib. ,not wiij' la the newspapers, but. la the ijjifrUMrvv Estonia—thua - affording to ; every Senator ample tlmo and opportunity for a fair understanding of the prlnolples enunoiated by them.,Ho hoped the Senate would nrooeed to tbelr'bonslderation and passage j for IT the voloa of the Benate Is worth anything in the endorse* moot of the great prlnolples oontainbd in them, and the polloy sought to he secured by their pas sage, it was important that that endorsement should be given now. Tho Senate should not falter.a moment in the performance of a duty, when the effects of its notion may oome borne to tbe vast interests of the State, as well ns to every Individual OltlSen.'- He did not think any Sena tor,- from whatever party, should hesitate to lend bis sanction to tho principle whidh' they endorsed. The wording of tho resolutions was not su«h as ho would havo chosen; yet, whilst bo was not disposed to oomplimonttho President for any thing he had done, he was not prepared to oavil at mere phraseology where a prinoiplo of so muoh vital Importance to the interests rovldencothatwo should be visited with saourges hat man cannot director withhold." Newspapers in Washington and Phila delphia. [Fiom/LSorroipoodeDt of the New York Times.] " Washington, Mondoy, Jan. 24,1850. The last link is about being broken between President Buchanan and his organ, the Washing ton Union. .Poor Wendell has been duped until he finds himself bankrupt. The bargain was that the Administration should use the Union and* furnish two editors, to Whom Wendell should pay five thousand dollars each. The Presidentseleoted Mr. Johnson, and the Cabinet called into their serrioe Mr. Hughes, a son-in-law of Secretary Floyd. In consideration, Mr. Wendell was to receive the Executive printing. Such was the contract, but Mr. Buobanau sub sequently insisted upon a division of oertaia jobs 1 with Mr. Rice, of the Pennsylvanian, promising to make it up. This Wendell agreed to stand, in order to keep pe&oe in the family, when other de mands were made for a division et spoils, and soon the proprietor of the Union was left with bis es tablishment sinking him many thousand dollars a year. The books show a loss of $19,000 for the past year-while the promised Executive jobs were either peddled out to other papers, or given to Wendell to bo shared in partnership with others, who were clamoring for tne means of existence. When the Pennsylvanian was sold out, Wen dell prooeodod with the job of post ofltoe blanks alone, with a fair prospect of recovering a portion of his' losses; but no was sent for a few days since by Mr. Buoban&n, and informed that he musbplaoe one-half of the prooeedß of this job at the disposal of the collector of tho port of Philadelphia, to be distributed among tho needy papers of Penpsyl vania. This Mr. Wendell most respeotfully de ollned to do, and the result is now a threatened blowing up of the organ. It Is already much out of tano, as an employee was running around a few evenings since hunting up 'somo one to prepare a leader. The establishment was sild some months ago to Messrs. Appleton A MoDonell, of Maine; and Major Nicholson, of Tennessee, who holds a mort gage on the whole oonoern, was sent for to ratify the transfer. The contracts were prepared ready to bo execntedjnext morning, but it leaked out that night that Prior, of the South , was going into the States< and the Union purchaser refused to sign. This was the origin of the report ef Mr. Appleton's going Into the organ. The rumor is that Wendell fs minus about $50,000 oloar loss in the transac tion. X.

I know of but three persons thus employed; Dr Guernsey, at Harper tc Brothers, who seems to have an intuitive notion of the amount of brain-work and interest in every one of : the hundreds of books that are submitted for his exa mination and opinion; Ur. Underwood* of Boston, an aesompUtbed, practical, well-informed gentleman, who fills a similar position (n this hoose of Phillips, Samp* sob, & Oo.; and Dr. J. W. Palmer, the many-sided man who Is similarly, installed .with Messrs, D. Appleton ; & 00. Dr. Palmer’s literary, career entities him to the respect of .every newspaper editor In the country. 'He ’ commenced •it at the very lowest round of the ladder, and has steadily and man fully fought hfs wiy Up id the honorable position-**' now' occupies. Such men, who attain rank not by creeping in at the cabin windows, but by passing through every gradation ofthe service, are an honor to the 11- .termry profession, and do more.towards casting without its pale the flocks of conceited snobs and pretenders, whose capacities are'oommonly more liquorary than literary, and who affeot a patronising deportment to the poor but really clever men in the republic of let ters. Bba‘l I give you a little sketch of him f Mr. Palmer entered the Tribune office as an under proof-reader In February,JBfi6, at the enormous salary of $7 per week.. Is following he was promoted into the editorial corps, in a strictly literary capacity, to prepare copy, revise, translate, tc o , and at about the same time sent his first megaeios article to Putnam’s Monthly. It was called “An American’s Adventure in Pegu,” and narrated certain hair-breadth experiences of the writer as surgeon ef tbe East India Company’s war-steamer Phlegethon, at the taking of the old city of Pegu, during the Burmese War. ?his ar ticle excited much attention among tbe , press and in'private oircles—the editor of “Putnam” receiving quite a nmnber of communications from unknown Individuals, who wished to know, whe ther the ” adventure” wss a fancy sketch or a verita ble experience.. The peculiarity about this article was tbatitwasnoh|prfti«nat all, but related, and taken down by a phonographic friend of Dr. p. (Mr. WUhouri of the Tribune), and printed just as it was The success of the “adventure” encouraged our Esoulepian to write out his Burmese episode—henoe 'the “ Golden Dagon; or Up and Down the Irrewaddl,” published by Dlx tc Edwards, toward the end of 1960. Books may be divided into, three classes; those that.make money, those that make reputation, and those that make both. The “ Golden Dagos” was of the second class j probably it wonld hare been of the third if the publishers had not “gone up” very soon after it appeared; for though given to the world without a same on the title-page, (“ By as' American,”) it met iritis particular attention from the literary tribe. Several of the English critical journals took it np with spirit—(it was reproduced In London with the Imprint of Sampson Low-Son, A Co.) The Examiner, and Literary Gazette gave it long notices, pronouncing It “ the cleverest of Ameri can travel books,” and the Athenaum catted attention to the last chapter, (“My Adventure in Pegu,”)as equal to any half-volume of Cooper’s most savage ro mance. Immediately after the appearanee of the “Golden Dagon,”. Dr. Palmer was installed as a regular contributor to “Putnam,” in a semi-edito rial capaoity, and furnished to that magazine nu merous articles, which- invariably attracted notice. Among these were the California Sketches, in the style of a Diary of a Ban Francisco City Physioian, in “tho Forty-nine ’’—(the Doctor was the first city pbyai- * clan appointed by the authorities of that city Iti ’49, and filled the post through the sanguinary troubles of that time,)—consisting of “The Fate of the Fsrlelghs,” ~*\Th*.Oid-Adobw,”/ f ®h*©*e** Cloth,W“Mr. Gail Joseph Craft, of the Q!d Californians,” &o. In the same megaaine appeared “ The Chinaman,” “ The‘Ba boo’s Nautch,” and other Oriental, papers. During four or five months he also wrote “ The World of New York,” which constituted apeculiar and lively feature or “Putnam.”. An intensified sketch, voiy singnler and forcible, entitled “ Broadway Bedeviled,” provoked aaiaultsof a sectarian nature frobi several leading .re ligious journals, who, In their turn, received a broadside from the editorial battery of “ Putnam.” Like the “ Ad venture in Pegu.” “ Broadway Bedeviled ” was dictated aod pbonographei precisely as It was printed. Between the setting of “Putnam” and the rising of tbe “At lantic,” Dr. P. was engaged in “ putting through the press” an extensive collection of poetry* He also con tributed a number of Oriental articles to the New Ame rican Enoyolopatia, those on “ Bayadere” and “ Ban yan” being the most chatacterietlo. Since about tbe third number of the “ Atlantic” he has frequently dipped his oar in that ooeanio mlseellanv—“Mamoul.” “ Child-Life By the Ganges,” “ Asilrradam, the Brah min,” “ Plata),(another of the California scenes,) and “Miss Wimple’s Hoop,” a serious extravaganza, all bear his pen-marks. Last June a three-aot play, entitled “ The Queen’s Heart,” (original in every sense of tbe word,} was presented In h*s name to the manager of the “ Howtrd Atheomnm,” in Boston, by Messrs. Longfellow and Lowell, and aohleved a com plete and brilliant success—the press almost un&ni mohely pronouncing H the moet elegant of original American comedies. It was played to crewded houses ofthe most critical kind. For the last twelve-month, Hr. £*tmer has occupied ,the honorable position of reader and misciU-edltor (technically t( literary man ") for the Influential pub ljßhiDg-hofl'e of D.

Bib : To-day, in seoret session of the Senate';' you offered me an affront so .wanton, unprovoked, and'unjustifiable, that X am obliged to infer' it must have been the Impulse of momentary pas sion; and not of.deliberate premeditations This note is written for the purpose of affording you an opportunity of saying whether or not iny oonolu sion:ia correct; and further, of affording you an opportunity of retracting the offensive language wblqh you thus gratuitously and unwarrantably applied to me. . Hespeolfully* Ac., Hon. Gbahah N. Fitch.- S. A. Douglas. j Washington, Jan. 22,1859. Sib: Your note ot-yesterday was. handed me this morning. In reply, I have to say that you yesterday made a oharge that the lately-appointed Federal offioers in Illinois were corrupt, dishonest men—or words to that effeot. You knew ‘my son to bo one of .those officers, and you could not' Cx peot me to hear suoh a oharge without prompt do nial'of its truth: I pronounced it to be, to yout* knowledge, untrue. You subsequently stftuodl, fied it as to satisfy me that you excepted my son from the general oharge, although- you did not f name him, and I zuado no further issue with you on that, subject; When, af'a subse-' quent period of yottr remarks, you attributed to me statements which X had not made, I requested that; in quoting me you would do so truthfully. These remarks were certainly sot “deliberately premeditated*” hut they oaunot bo qualified cor rectly as the “impulse oftoomcntaiy’/pasribn.” Thej first was prompted by a determination to de fend the honor and obaracter of'my son,, to me as my pwn, against an attack so general in its terms as necessarily to inolude him; and the' seoond was the exercise of my right to reotify a misrepresentation of my own remarks. Respeotfully, do-, G. N. Fitch. Hon. B. A. Douglas. Washington, Jan. 22—9$ P. M. 8m: Your note of this date has just been plaoed in my hands. I admit, without hesita tion; your right and duty to do justice to'the rep-, utation of your son. At the same time I main tain .my right, in .the, discharge of my duty as Senator, tooommenifreefyand fully on the char acter of executive appointments, especially' In my own Bute. I deny, however, that my general remarks in relation to the list of Illinois appoint ees, confirmed by the Senate during my absence, could bo fairly interpreted to embrace tout son. When you seemed so (o construe them, I promptly replied that What I had said of the’ Illinois ap pqintmeute_ftas^true T pA\ a general rule, but that ’tSere^were exceptions, among whom I reoegnhed acme of my own friends. Alluding particularly to your eon, I added that I Txad nothing to say in regard to the merits of his appointment* choosing to leave that question where I plaoed it. by my.remarks to tho Senate dnring the last session, in your presence, at the time orhia confirmation. You sow admit that you understood this explanation to exempt your sop from the application of my general re marks ; and yet, yon nave failed to withdraw the < ffensive language, but. on the contrary at a snb seqdentetage of tho debate, when apologising for a breach of senatorial .decorum, you -expTwssly de clared that yoa had nothing to retraot—thus ap pearing, in my apprehension, to reaffirm the ok jeotlonable words. As to tbe other ground of offenoe admitted iu your reply to my note, IbaVo tosay that I did not understand you to assume, to correct me in a quo tation of your language, as I was unconscious of making any suoh citation, but to repeat the origi-. nal offenoe in another form; otherwise, I would have made a proper response on the Instqnt -. This explanation,wbioh is due alike/tons both, on the points presented in your reply/ affords you another opportunity of withdrawing' the offennve words which you admit you applied to pi* in yes terday’s debate. Respectfully, Ac.*. S. A. DoCqlas. Hon. Orahah N. Fitoh. - Washington, Jaa. 23,1859. Sir i Your note of last evening was handed me at 12 M, to-day. Yonr explanation regard to my son being now explicit, I have no hesitation in saying that if yon bad exoepted him from your oharge, or not made it general, I would not have deemed myself warranted ,in repelling it in the words of which you complain as offensive, and which, in consequence of your explanation,luow withdraw.' I am also informed by yedr note that, if yon bad not been mistaken in relation' to my remarks on the subject of yonr misrepresentation of my senti ments, yon would at tho instant have made a pro* Jier response. This likewise enables me to say that, n m]y closing remarks explanatory to the Senate of my share in an exciting debate upon a subject not rorelant to anything before that body,' and the responsibility for the introduction of whioh rested solely with yon. I should have withdraws, as I now do. the second offensive remarks, If yon had made the same satisfactory explanation then jroti have now made. Respectfully, Ac., G. N, Fitca. Hon. S. A. Douglas Washington, Jan. 24,1859. Sir : Yonr note of yesterday has been received; and while I accept your withdrawal of the words to which I have taken exception, I owe it to my celf to protest against the idea you eeem to enter tain, that my note of Saturday was intended os a precedent and inducing condition of the redress which I solicited, instead bf being, as I certainly designed it, merely responsive to the specifications in your reply ts my first communication In regard to the introduction and relevancy of the matter in the debate out of which this diffi culty arose, I cannot think that a proper subject of discussion in the present correspondence.

It is not for me to judge the motives wbioh* diotated yours of the 22d. I can only say that my answer was predicated upon the explanations it contained. If your explanations are disavowed, my withdrawal must likewise be disavowed. Respectfully, Ac., G. If- Fitch. Hon. S. A. Douglas. Washington, Janiary 24,3859, Sir *. lam averse to prolonging this controver sy after gaining the snbstanoe of my demand; but I cannot olose without responding to your last note by saying that it is immaterial to me npon what you predicate your * withdrawal, since I y have guarded agalnsha misapprehension of my position.
