This paper published twenty -four hours N an
ticipation Of its regular time, will necessarily
be put TO press before the curtain drops upon
the present Session of Congress; but very lit
tie will be left hereafter TO be told Of its ac-
ton.
Much Of the details Of business Of the two
past days will be found in our columns to-day ;
but the important business Of the Session,
from which II takes rank and character, may
DO summed up in three lines, as follows:
Congress have passed
La Bill to modify the Tariff;
"A Bill to enforce its collection and,
J. Bill to appropriate among the several
States the Revenue from Public Lands.
These Bills have passed in manner pa,i
pass'i, aud almost concurrcntly. The major
tiles by which they have passed arc large; and,
whatever misgivings may exist in the minds of
our friends as to the operation of one or the
other Of them, we have no doubt that they
will as a whole meet the appreciation of the
great body Of the People.

SIR-The columns Of the National Iuteligen.
Ger, printed on the spot, having been closed
against the further discussion of the topics Of the
late Chesapeake and Ohio Canal election, in the
City of Washington, the Globe has been embol.
dened, after silence Of some weeks, to begin
and deliberately prosecute most malignant at.
tack ON the character aud official conduct Of Mr..
MERCER. the late President Of the Canal Com.
pany.
lie is charged, in an editorial article occupy
ing mnre than a column Of the Globe of the 25th
of June. if not with the authorship, at least with
giving his sanction " to certain structures OF the
I" Martinsburg Gazette, by which to him alone
" is appropriated all the glory Of originating the
i" Chesapeake and ONO Canal" and thus at
tempting to transfer to Mr.. NJ. the honor Of
:. the grand conception, which originated in the
.. mind Of General Washington" as early as
1884 Inproof Of this charge, the sapient Edi-
tor refers to the charter Of the Potomac Company,
which, he says, he - cannot consent to repeal for
" the purpose of giving 10 Mr.. Mercer a title to
:. the monuments of Washlngton's mighty GEM.
" US, and OF transferring to him the gratitude Of
~ his county"
The Editor of the Martinsburg Gazette dates
his structures at the return Of the Virginia proxy
General Boyd, after the recent election in June,
10 the place of his abode in Martinsburg: the
Globe infers Mr.. MERGERS participation in the
structures from their "testy fiPpancy" and
=" egregious presumption"
To such charge, no real friend Of Mr.. Mer-
Ger could coudescend to reply, were it not sub,
sequently followed up by plausible. though
equally gross Misrepresentation Of his late Off
ciaI conduct, as President Of the Canal Company,
as well as of the circumstances which preceded
or accompanied his late removal from that sta
ton.
As to the malicious insinuaton by which this
attack is introduced. that Mr.. Mercer has desir
ed to transfer to himself any share Of the reputa-
ton Of General Washington, it might suffice to
state, that the Martinsburg Gazette is printed in
a county not adjacent to that IN which Mr.. Mer.
Ger lives; in town more than forty miles dis.
tant from his dwelling. and not less than seventy
from the District Of Columbia, where he notori.
ously remained, from the period OF the late cleo.
ton till some time after the date Of the publica-
ton selected to sustain this infamous caiumny
But all who have any knowledge OF the history
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, can bear tes-
timony to the constant effort Of Mr.. Mercer, a.
