MEMORIAL
To the Hon. tlit City Conned of Baltimore.
A Convention, composed of delegates on
the part of the city of Baltimore and from
various counties of Pennsylvania, being
now in session in the oily of Baltimore, for
the purpose of taking into consideration
such measures as may seem best adapted
to secure the construction of the Susquehan
na Rail Road of Pennsylvania, from Bridge,
port lo Sunbury and Williamsport, the un
dersigned, members of said Convention,
peg leave in its name lo soncit the attention
of Ihe City Council of Baltimore to this im-
porlan! subject, and lo invite the co-opera-
lion or your honorable body in Ihe enter-
prise for which Ihe Convention has nssem-
bled, and which deeply concerns Ihe best
interests alike of Baltimore and of the whole
valley of Ihe Susquehanna.
Ttl Bilua... m aa.I: ..nnnfan.1 1.1
u ..j.u.,o v. a ncuii (juaiauiciTi,
the City of Baltimore lo the amount of
8500,000, in whatever forms of bonds the
tjty authorilies might direct, would be suffi
cient, it is believed, jn connection with re.
sources available in other quarters, lo insure
beyond a contingency of failure the com-
plete construction, as pmposed, of Ihe Susque-
hanna Eail Road from Bridgeport to Sunbury
and Williamsport, from w hich point it would
command connections with Ihe New York
and Erie Rail Road, and with Ihe entire re.
gion of the Lake, with their vast and con.
stantly enlarging circles of ihe trade.
In adopting this memorial to Ihe City
Council of Baltimore, the Convention are
proceeding upon the recognition of a coin
mon interest, prompting to united efforts, to
concentration of means, and to harmony of
rounoils. Not doubting the readiness of tho
city of Baltimore to do her fair and propor-
tionato i. a in the prosecution of a work
which p.-Mtiises to odd so largely to her
trade and to her wealth, and by which her
interest aie to be closely blended with those
of the great valley of the Susquehanna, it is
submitted entirely to the wisdom of the
city authorities to determine the form and
manner hi which the desired aid on the part
of the city shall be extended, as also the
conditions and provisions which may be
deemed proper to secure an efficient anil
faithful application thereof. .
All which is respectfully submitted.
On motion of Mr. Kennedy,
Resolved, That the President of the Con
vention be authorized lo appoint a committe
of 'thirteen citizens of Baltimore, to be a
permanent executive committee of the Con
vention, lo whom shall be committed the
duty of promoting the objects of this Con
vention, and carry into effect its resolutions
by all such measures and expedients as they
may from time to lime believe lo be advisa
ble and useful lo lhat end.
Resolved, That said committee, with a
view to its proper continuance and efficient
action, be authorized to fill any vacancy
which may occur in its own body.
They were read nnd adopted.
H. B. Mnsser, Esq., of Sunbury, then sub
mitted the following resolution, which was
adopted :
Resolved, That it bo recommended lo the
several counties along the line of the propo
sed rail road, lo take early and effective
measures to procure releases of the right of

Grand Rattle between Caravajal's Forces and
the Mexican Troops Figf of Caravajnl
the Killed and II ounded.
Charleston, March 14.
The New Orleans Picayune gives the de
tails of the late battle between the forces of
Caravajal and tho Mexican forces on the
Rio Grande.
Gen. Canales, in his official report, says
that Caravajal was driven from Camnrgo i'i
litter dismay across the rivers San Juan and
Rio Bravo, and lhat in the flight a huge
number of his men were drowned. Forty
eight of Caravajal' men are reported to
have been found dead on the field of battle,
and twenty-four wounded.
But other accounts say that Caravajal
forces numbered between two nnd five hun
dred, sixteen of whom were Indians, that
they had a twelve pounder and a good sup
ply of ammunition, a-id that they made a
most despeiate resistance, disputing the
ground inch by inch.
Tlie Mexican forces charged on them
fiercely with two hundred nnd fifty calvary,
which caused one wing of Caravajil's forces
under Cap:. Munez, composed mostly of i
Mexicans, lo make a regular stampede.
They wero followed by a number of
Americans who never relumed.
The remainder of Caravajal's men stood
firm and repulsed the charge, by a heavy
discharge of cannister, making a great
slaughter of Ihe Mexicans. The Mexicans
made two more charges, but b"ing repulsed
retired across the river San Juan.
It being midnight, Caravajal's forces also
retired from the field.
On hearing this, the Mexicans returned und
took possession of the field, seized Carava
jal's only gun, and one bundled and twenty
gland of arms.
Caravajal, in his report, says that hn lost
only ten killed, thirteen wounded, and three
missing,
The battle lusted two and a half hours
The Mexican forces numbeied seven hun
dred, with two pieces of artillery.
Col. Johnson, of Caravaial's force. H1
wounded, lie reports that the loss on the
side of the Mexicans was upwards of one
hundred, including ten ollicers of rank.
He says that Carvajal's men were seized
with a second panic, anil refused lo again
advance on Lumargn, and nil lefl ihe field
with tho exception of twenty-lwo, when he
retired with thorn in good order across
the river.

OCT" The ice dams in the Susquehanna
have all passed off without doing any dam'
age. The river is still much swollen, and
although some few rafts of timber have
passed down, the stage of water is too high
for safe navigation. The waler has been
let into the Susquehanna division ol the
canal and the boatman have resumed their
labors. Business opens very briskly and
promises a favorable teason for the con
trade. The severe weather of the past
winter has caused a consumption of coal
much greater than has taken place lor a
number of years, A scarcity of that arti
cle exists in the market, and the com
mencement of shipments has been looked
for anxiously, Coal is fast taking the place
of wood lor fuel in the southern cities, and
in a lew years the immense fields of Sham
nkin and Mahonoy will scarcely be able to
supply the demand. Preparations have
been made by the colliers in those regions
to send a large quantity of coal to market
during the coming season. The superior
quality of this coal has made It deservedly
popular and eagerly sought alter, and it is
rapidly taking the place ol all other coal
in the Baltimore market.
THE RAIL ROAD CONVENTION,
Held at Baltimore on Saturday last, was
large and enthusiastic. The number of
delegates from Pennsylvania, upwards of
three hundred, showed the interest which
is felt along the Susquehanna in the great
improvement of that valley. The citizens
of Baltimore were fully represented at the
Convention and met the advances of our
delegates with a spirit of good will and
energy which augurs well for the success
of the contemplated enterprise. They ex-
pressed a just appreciation of the rich un
developed resources of this valley and of
the benefits that city will derive from an
intercourse and trade with this region, and
are determined no effort on their part shall
be spared to accomplish so desirable a re
sult. The meeting and interchange of sen
timent will be productive of the most hap
py effects. The eyes of the capitalists in
that city are turned towards this route and
they promised that material aid which
alone is essential to the accomplishment of
the work.
The proceedings of the Convention oc
cupy too r - c!i space to permit us to give
them at large. The speech of Gen. Packer
was a masterly effort, full of (acts and fig
ures and showed a thorough acquaintance
with the suhject. ft was listened to with
deep interest nnd made a marked impres
sion upon all who heard it. Eloquent re
marks were also made by his Honor the j Paul Weitzel, S. R. Penle, S. N. Thompson,
Mayor, Hon. John P. Kennedy, Gen. Cam- ' VV. Strnh, Edward Eisely. IYtcr Kreigh

more, was promptly responded to by a
similar offer from Col. Slifer ol Union
county. The excitement in regard to this
rail road is extreme, both in this valley and
at Baltimore. No doubt now exists as to
the result. The stock will be immediately
taken and the work pushed to a speedy
completion.
Our delegates were delighted with the
people of Baltimore. They ore enterpri
sing, energetic, courteous and hospitable.
Our short intercourse with them has given
us a true appreciation of their character
and produced the happiest social results.
Henceforth Mason and Dixon's Line is an
obsolete idea with us, a fabulous and unreal
boundary, and we hail Raltimorians as bro
thers and their city as the "City of the
Susquehanna."

Piiilapcli'HIA, March 16, 1852.
In my !ast hitter from Hariisburg I stated
that strong delegations from Ihe Counties
ulong the Susquehanna would attend Ihe Sus
quehanna Rail Road Convention, held at Bal
timore on Ihe 13th inst. I was not mistaken
in my estimate, ami feel gratified to see so
large and respectable a delegation from Nor
thumberland county. The entire delegation
from the County numbered forty three, of
w hich number iwenty three were from Sun
bury. Whatever may be said of Ihe want
of energy or enterprise on the pari of the citi
zens of Sunbury, they are at least always
piompt and ready in attending Conventions
or other projects favorable lo improvements.
If they can do no more, it is only because
those who have Ihe will have nut the means.
I hope, however, a bright day is dawning.
The rail roads from Harrisburg and from
Pottsville, lo Sunbuiy will both be made,
in a few years, and unless the relations of
cause and effects are changed, they will, un
doubtedly, give an impetus to Ihe business
and prosperity of our whole neighborhood.
The citizens of Baltimore, or at least that
portion who attend to those mailers, seemed
lo be deeply impressed with Ihe importance
of I ho completion of ihe connection between
that city nnd the lakes. They also see in
perspective a valuable coal trade between
our coal regions and thai city. TheConven
lion was well attended and the proceedings
were conducted with much energy and spir
it, a full report of which will be found in the
columns of lhat excellent Journal, Ihe Balti
more American, and it is but just to say that
its able editor, Mr. Bose, has always t.bly
advocated this improvement. Indeed all the
jouinulsof Baltimore without exception have
been animated by ihe same spirit. During
the evening session Mr, Rose read a memor
ial prepared by him as Chairman of Ihe Com-
mittee, addressed to the Councils of tho city, 1
forcibly and eloquently urging a subscription
of slock to the amount of 8500,000, lo this
road. The speech of Gen. Packer embodied
a vast amount of interesting statistical Infor
mation, and was received with great p
plause, and will, 1 feel confident, produce a
good effect.' The speech of the Hon. John
P. Kennedy was also warmly oppplauded.
It was eloquent and instructive, such as
might have been expected from a scholar
and a statesman. The remarks of Gen. Cam
eron, J. M. Carter, Gen. Ayres, Mr. Merril,
&c, were also well received. To the tint ir
ing energy of Mr. Magraw, the efficient
President of the Baltimore and Susquehanna
Rail Road, nnder whose management the
Convention was mainly gol up, much credit
is due. The large maps in the Convention
shewinn the different loutes of rail roads
from tho lakes and the west, lo the seaboard,
were pot up under his supervision During
the temporary organization of the Conveu- i
lion Gen Cameron presided, after which Mr. '
Jerome, the Mayor of the city was selected ;
as President of the Convention. Mr. Jerome j
has always been the warm nnd fust friend of j
this road, as might have been seen by his
message lo Ihe City Councils, published some '
time ago, in this paper. The following is n

some passengers on the Erio Railroad, that
on Thursday last a frightful accident occurred
lo the lip train, between Narrowsbnrg and
Deposit, by which the cars were driven off
ihe track, nnd down an embankment, sixteen
rir seventeen feel high, smashing two or three
cars, burning others, and injuring several of
the passengers seriously some it is feared,
fatally. One child had its arm broken, and
was otherwise so injured thai it unapprehen
ded it would not live ptnbably It is already
dead. Others wore crippled nnd bruised in
a horrible manner, though we are happy lo
say none weie actually killed on Ihe spot.
Had it not been for an accumulation of ice
some C feel deep, left on the margin of Ihe Del
aware, utter tho ice on Ihe river had broken
tip, Ihe consequences would have been terri-
ble, for lUe whole train would have plunged
into the water, and several lives would have
been lost ; but the icy water presented such
an obstruction as arrested Ihe projress nf
i ho hienmotive. Tho burning of some of
s.,iriH i,f the cars was caused by ihe stoves
b-ina broken and the fire being dashed
about.
These, accidents are caused by the care-
lessness und incompetence of the servants
of the company, for which the directors are
r-'spousitdrt to the public, in not appointing a
better class of men, or in not dismissing
those who liilile with the lives of so many
human beings,
; A non, which had but a whole liner, was
seen lately trying lo poke a piece of crape
, tlirouoh the ban. lie of one of the sauages
i shops, in an eastern city.
