*Wane to be overlooked; and not thejilirt ot
- etonsi4erations which induced me under so
it discouragements and difficulties ;0 urge
forward the work to Cumberland. was the convic
tion that from that point it would call into action
the energies and resources of more distant ar c.
lions, there to unite with it, or to aid in carrying
it onward. I have always entertained much con-
Claim° that even from Cumberland the roadwould
greatly augintnt the trade of Baltimore, on 1
yie.d treasonable profit to the Stockholders, and
the actual remits, so far, have satisfied me that
the day is nut far remote when this confidence
vi 1 be realised.
With the benefit, of the present redu:e,l coat
of transportation upon the Hail void, end ufuT.
rangetnenta entirely practicable, for waggon
transportation from Cumberland to the Ohio,
theie appears to be but little reason to tear coo.
Petition from any other quarter, or that fie will
nut command tho business and travel to Mad firom
the West. Even new, where the advantages of
the route arc but partially known and understood,
it has engrossed a very large pardon Math of the
travel and transportation, and it may be intpor
tant that you should be made acoitainted with
the fact that, of the whole number of through pas
sengers, amounting to 1914 taken over the road
to both directions in the month of March, not
More than 130 have been taken, to and fr.ni
Pittsburgh, and it is believed that the like pro..
portion may be assumed in regard to the tun-

If you are not already aware, these facts will
convince you of the indispensable importance to
Pittsburgh of promptly ensuring a connection
with the railroad, and at a point as far east on
the mainline as the resources of that region will
allow; nor will yo•i fail to perceive upon grounds
which I abstain ut present from stating in detail,
that the extension of your connocting road to
Cumberland would most probably effectually sun•
plant any rivalry within your immediate vicin
ity.
It will not escape you that such connection
would bring Pittsburgh into immediate proximi.
ty with the Atlantic, and give to that city gr4 , ater
advantages in this respect than are enjoyed by
Philadelphia.
These and many other consideratiins upon
the general subject are susceptible of an enlarge
ment which I should desire 'to give them, if I
could do s> in a satisfictory manner within the
time in which it is necessary you ghoul I re•
ceive my present anseer tile meeting of the
15th inst.
I will therefore reserve any further general
observations for another communication; and for
a personal confcrenca which rwill endeavor to
seek with you at Pittsburgh in the- course of the
Spring.
Meantime, I will c,nfine my present ar swer
more . particularly to the points stated in your
letter, and upon which yuu desire specitic infor
mation.
It will give met great plea-ur e to permit Itrfr.
Lathrobc, who is at present our chief engineer,
. to attend the incet.ng to be held at Pittsburgh on
aniin — the 15th inst., and he will with equal ph:azure
attend for the purposes mentioned in your letter;
provided he can be rekased from his engagements
in the court now sitting in this ci'y and upon
which he is in alien:him; as a witness.
-In reply to sour second question, I have to °b
oom that the suspension of the works at Cum
betland is not voluntary, and but for the consider
ations I am about to advet t to, it would .be the
pleasure of the board to carry it lokward without
daisy. You arc aware, however, that by the Vir
ginia 4hancr, it is m...de the duty of the Com irtn3
to terminate one briinch of the road at son.e point
on the Ohio river, within that State; ar.d it be.
comes on that account the more necessary so to
manage our funds and expandtituies as, if possible,
to attain that object. independently of this, the
recent legislation both of Maryland and Virginia
will not only arrest the work at Cumberland lon.
ger than we had hoped, bat senders its prosecution
somewhat indefinite. I ought to mention also,
that upon our last applicatieu to the Legislature
of Pennsylvania for an extension of the period al
lowed by the charter for the completion of the road
in that State, the grant was accompanied by con
dition and restrictions so (morel]. as to deter the
Stockholders f:otn any Lttem.it to comply with
them. ' They might indeed if persisted in, though
that I can namely anticipate, exclude altogether,
and give the road a more southern directior , which
t to believed, would be practicable a-dhow much
augmentation of distance or expense.
Under all these circumstances, however, and
until the difficulties cart be removed, it can scarce.

For your furthrr information, I send you by the
present mull, a copy of the repnrts of Messrs.
Knight and Latrobe, containing the results of the
surveys arid d tailed estimates of the several
toutes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, both
to f' ittsteirgh and Wheeling, from which you will

With sincere regard
Your ob't nerv't,
LOUIS McLANE,
President.
Judge Wilkins here explained as to the high
estimate of Mr. McLane that it had been made
with a view to avoid all deception, every thing
havinir been calculated at the highest rates; that
Mr. Latrobe, who was then present would pre
sent en estimate made also with the same spirit of
candor, but at prices, rather above than below
what the work might, in the opinion of many, be
done for.
Junge Wilkins then stated that Mr, Latrobe,
the chief Engineer of the Baltim• re and Ohio
Railroad Company was then present, and at the
request ut the enrr mittees Lad made ()clan esti.
mate of the prouahle cost of a railroad made in the
beet manner and with the m approved form f
iron, called the U rail, and which estimice he
wool] submit to the meetme, together with one
of the common fl it bar, which, though the cheap%
eat, %vsu now generally disapproved of from the
expense of continual rep..ir and the danger of
damage to life.
The following are the
Estimates of cast, founded upon those of the
printed report of February 14th, 1838, and revised
to allow for some changes in tho position of the
line, and for reduction in the prices of work—

State Printer Elected —We learn from
Harrisburg that Isaac G. McKinley has
been elected State Printer, for three
years. The vote stood on the fourth bal
lot, for McKinley 75, for others 50, Mr.
McKinley is one of the editors of the
Keystone, and had formed a partnership
with Mr. Bratton of the State Capital Ga•
zett e, who was the caucus nomination for
printer. Mr. Brattoc's name, for certain
reasons, was withdrawn, ehd that of Mr.
McKinley substituted. We are rejoiced
that this matter is at last settled, and a s
the printing has been a fruitful source of
bad feeling during former scallions, we
hope that at least for three Years mitters
will go on more harmoniously.
Going in Cahoot.—The N. Y. Sun
says a good story is told of a political sit
lute of a hundred guns fired at Al
bany on Thursday. It is said that the
Whigs furnished the guns in honor of their
success in Albany, and the Democrats fur
nished the powder in honor of their victo•
ry in New York—a sort of partnership af
fair all round. It is really pleasant to see
politicians so good natured
'Mod! Blood!!—The number of asses.
mations which we are daily called upon
to record are truly frightful. Duels in N•
Orleans ending in death; murders at Mo
bile; assaults at Boston and Baltimore; a
fight in the Pennsylvania Legislature; an
editor killed at Norfolk; a man waylaid in
Columbi i street (N. Y.) by a highway
robber; Mr. Jacob Cannon shot dead at
Cannon's Ferry, Delaware, by one Owen
Day, who has escaped; —these, anal many
more of recent occurrence, form a terrible
catalogue
A Mesmeric Idea.—A writer in the Bos•

of each State in the Union should give em

was suggested by the reported escape of

Messrs. easterly 4, sons, -the New
York . publishers of O'Connell's "Mtmoir .
on Ireland, Native and Saxon," have been
prosecuted for libel by the publishers of
the Triune. Mr. Cassetly. considering
his rights as publisher of the above work,
encrokched upon by the Tribune folks,
who through the instrumentality of one of
Casserly'd sons, got out a cheap edition of
the "Memoir," published an angry card
in the papers, in which he handled Greely I
in rather a rough manner. For this he

has been prosecuted.
The birth day of Washington was cele.
brated on the 23d utt, by the Americans
in Rome, in their usual manner, by a pub

A brute named Evans, has been arres■
ted at Elizabeth city, N. C. on the Bth
inst. on a charge of inhumanly seating a
child committed to his charge. The
child's entire body was lacerated, and its
head was apparently laid open by a series
of blows, and when its situation was dia.
covered, was discharging the most ()Wen%
sive matter.
The N. Y. Plebeian says th tit appears
that the democratic vote on Tuesday was
3,099 greater than their highest vote for
Governor in 1840, and the whig +Lite lees

Col Young, of N York, thug alludes to Father
Miller:
"I live in an adjoining county to the residence
of a man whom you have associated with Joe
Smith, the Apostle ()fibs Mormons. I have known
the character ofMr Mater for years; it is that of
as upright and a pious christain. And although

The Mackenzie Verdict.—The Medi
sonian of Thursday evening contains the
official publication of the verdict in the
case of Commander Mackenzie. It is the
same as published by us a few days since
The following are the concluding para
graphs :
The Court do therefore at quit Com•
matder Alexander S. Mackenzie of all the
charges and specifications preferred against
him by the Secretary of the Navy.
As these charges involved the life of the
accused, and as the finding is in his favor.
he is entitled to the benefit of it, as in the
analogous case of a verdict of not guilty
before a civil 'court, and there is no power
which can constitutionally deprive him of
that benefit. The finding, therefore. is
simply confirmed, and carried into effect
without and expression of approbation on
the part the Peesident; no such expres
sion being necessary.
By the arrival of the schooner Octavio,
Captain Churchill. which left Sisal on the
31st of March. the odium, of the New Or..
leans Bee have recived files of Merida pa
pers to the 28th ult., and verbal intelligence
from Sisal to the day of her departure.
A despatch published in the Bnletin
(Merida.) of the 28th informs us that the
Yucatecoes assaulted the enemy on the
Eininencie, in the tear of Campeachy on
the 26th of March, and kept up a very
brisk fire l'ot three hours. 'Pie Mexicans
it was supposed had suffered considerable
loss, whilst that of the Campechanos was
inconsiderable. The assailants returned to
the city without effecting the dislodgement
of the Mexicans.
The Mexican - fleet bad landed their for
ces at Selma, and burnt the town. They
embarked on the 20th ult., and ptoceeded
to Tilshae where they again landed. It
was thought that Sisal would be the first
place of attack, off which port the Mexi
can fleet was hourly expected. 4,500
troops had been dispatched from Merida,
Sisal and Hunacomah tt) meet the enemy
on their match from Tilshae.
The bombardment of Campeachy wa
yet continued without sellout; dam3ge.—

And Still they Come!—More Sights in
the Heavens!—A Correspondent (tithe Cin.
Sri) gives the following astoundini, intel
ligence. We 'eel to much excited too mike
any comments and just give it as we find
it.
Millers Doctrine Coming True.—Three
Ladies of Fulton stepped out of their door
the other evening, and the first sight that
met their eyes, was the shape of a splendid
house in the Heavens. They stood and
gazed for a few moments, and lo ! and be
hold I the win:lows and doors opened and
they could see people within. Presently
the doors and windows closed..and gradu
ally the house sunk away into the valley of
Deer Creek !
Neither of these Lsdies believes in Mil
ler nor his doctrines, neither are they be
lievers in signs; but all of them declare
tha to be the fact, They further say that
if any person wishes further proof they can
call on them in Fulton personally, and they
will give them further particulars.
