CONTAMINATION.


Mr.. Editor-When first arrived in
Mis- country, was quite youth. In
sailing up the noble bay of the Chesa-
peake, my heart responded With delight.
When the ship entered the Potomac, the
feeling was not less intense. On inquiring
of the pilot, the names of the various
promoutories and head lands that suc>
cessively opened themselves to view, he
replied-in pilots rhyme-there are
Point-LoolS- Out and Point Look-ln,,
Point-No-P Point and Point Again.
The words made an impression en- nv
youthful Imagination. But little thought
that the topography OF the Chesapes IKE
and Potomac would furnish an analogy to
any writer at futureday. However, i.
is so--for the lengthy letter in the Ga
zette from cashier, has sQspuch of the
''Point.no Point" that the application
forces itself upon me. That gentleman
has undertaken to shoulder major Lewis
