B iltimore, April 4, 1843
Dear P.—We arrived this evening a
bout 5 o'clock, by the cars from that bleak
of Cumberland, which I assure you
we left without the least regret. The
whole journey of 178 miles, was accom
plished with less physical exertion than is
required to walk the length of our print-.
ing office. Truly this is the day of won.
derful things!
There were from 70 to SO passengers
today, through from Cumberland to Bal
timore, and full as many, I should judge,
by the appearance of the westward bound
cars, from this city to Cumberland. The
number of way passengers, it is impossible
of course, to tell, but penile came into the
cars from all points on the route. When
you think of the tolls from this source, and
add those on an amount of freight which
employs a train of 3to 500 wagons in
carrying it, (and these are not enough) you
may form an estimate of the business done
on this Rail Road. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal runs side by side with it for
some distance. In lroking at that Canal .
you would regret that tin much money was
wasted in making it, and think how totally
it must fail in competition with the Rail
Road. I saw but one or two boats on
and they did look extremely forlorn in their
tortoise like progress. Whether the work
is now fairly open, or how far it is finish
ed I cannot tell.
Owing to the coldness of the weather.
and the driving snow, the windows of the
cars were kept down, and we saw but lit—
tle of the country or the great work upon
which we traveled so comfortably. A
tunnel under a mountain of the Alleghe
ny range, attracted some curiosity, and is
certainly a wonderful achievement in road
making.
There are many fine farms, and not a
few good houses on the route, but I could
not persuade myself that they looked as
comfortable as they might or should have
been. The neatness and order which you
see about the good farms and farm hou
ses in Pennsylvania, were absent. I tho't
I discerned the reason for the difference,
in the rows of steep roofed hut . , which
stand near each of the better class ofd well -
lugs, and were occupied by slaves, as I
saw by the droves of 'little niggers"
whiai darkened the doors. By the way
these pointed and steep roofs are peculiar
to all the houses in Maryland and Virgin-
There is much scen"ry that strongly in
t,_rests the beholder, at many places on
the road. The shores of the Putamac, at
Harper's Ferry, presented, I thought, a
magnificent spectacle. It was the opinion
of Mr. Jefferson, if I remember right, that
the immense masses of rock which bound
the river here on either side, and rise to a
stupendous height, were once united and
were rent asander by a terrible convulsion
of nature. A moment's observalon would
lead you to favor the opinion. Some one
pointed out a rock nn the hill back of the
town, which he called "Jefferson's Rock."
To-mot row, as I understand a celebration
in honor of the immortal reformer, who
started the Tea,peran,:e Ball, will come off
here. There are it is said, many strangers
to take part in it; among the re,t some tee,
total Fire Companies from Philadelphia.

of exposing the Commissioners! If it is

:hat he may be punished to the extent of

tion that Hill has shown himself to be any
thing but an honorable man,when he admits
that he sought the Commissioners to soli
cit a favor, and at the same time was med
itating a plan for their destruction. On his
i cross-examination he says, in answer to a
question, why he went to see the Com
i inissioners.
"I will tell you my object; I heard a great deal
for years back about buyin.); and selling members,
and I thought I would see myself if it was so.
I voted in favor of the C Ina' bill. I did not tell
Overfield that I wanted to be appointed, neither
did he ask me. I had letters fur two cr three of
the men for that offs :c; I told Mr. Butler that if
they appointed any of the three; I would be
satis
fied. I spoke of Nesbet, and I think likely of
Esq. Galeepy; I did not allow Lim the letters. He
told ism I should fetch my letters to the office in
twenty 'ninnies; I went as near as I can tell about
that time; 1 was in the office may be hall an hour
or longer; Mr. Butler did not come; 1 to'd Mr.
Reynolds then what my errand was. I told him
I would go down in the House, and after being
there alwhi/e I came up again; Mr. Butler still
was not there. I stayed a little spell, and went
to Mr. Overfield and told him what Mr. Butler
had said. I told Mr. Overfield Ido not want you
to make the appointment until I show Mr. Butler
the letters I had: and I thought that Mr. Overtield
gave me his word they would not 'make the ap
pointment without letting me know, This took
place in February; I went up Mat same forenoon
about hall an hour afterwards, and tho office was
locked up. The next I heard that afternoon that
the appointments were made, without having
read my letters, or consulting me."
The following is the testimony of Gen
eral M'Culluch, through whom it was said
the bribe was first offered. If the purity
of members is effected by such conver
sations as are related by Gen. M'Culloch,
all we have to say, is, that they are very
easy victims for corruption to play upon.
