CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL

We referred in yesterdays Gazette TO
the evidences which we now see Of the
interest taken in the prosperity and sue
cess of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
by the people OF Baltimore. The papers
OF that city are warm in their expressions
in favor Of this great work.
II is with pleasure that VIC draw the at
teBtion OF our readers TO these facts. IL
may be useful TO inform some Of them,
that the transport trade which Baltimore
has always enjoyed is now cut off by the
Pennsylvania Canals and Rail roads, and
goods are now forwarded from Baltimore
to the West, uia Philadelphia.
In the present state Of the Company's
funds, it is very desirable that aid should
be obtained from other sources than those
from which the work has been carried on
thus far. The City of Washington has
subscribed one million of dollars, Aiexan-
dria and Georgetown each quarter, and
individuals Of the District more than half
million. We need not enquire how
much has the City Of Baltimore subscrib-
ed? and how much her wealthy citizens?
But we may with propriety enquire, how
much will they subscribe to a work which
is Of such great importance to their pros
perity as a city?.---s4teE. Gas.

When Colonel Washington was sta
toned at Alexandria, in l754, there was
an election for members of the Assembly,
when Mr.. w. Payne opposed the candi.
date supported by Washington. In the
course of the contest, Washington grew
warm, and said something offensive to Mr.
Payne, who at one blow extended him on
the ground. The regiment heard that
their Colonel was murdered by the mob,
and they were soon under arms, and IN
rapid motion to the town TO inflct punish
ment on the supposed murderers. To
their great joy, he came out to meet them,
thanking them for such proof of attach
ment, but conjurng theta by their love
for him, and their duty, to return peacea-
bly, TO their barracks Feeling himself to
be the aggressor, he resolved 10 make
honorable reparation. Early next morn
ing he worte polite note to Mr.. Payne,
requesting TO see him at the tavern. Payne
repaired to the place appointed, in ex
pectalion Of duel. but what was his sur
prise to see wine and glasses in lieu of
pistols. Washington rose to meet him,
and smiling as he offered his hand began.
"Mr Payne, TO err is nature; TO reclify
error is glory. ! believe was wrong yes
teFday; you have already had some salts

here is my hand, let US be friends" An
act of such sublime virtue produced its
proper effect, and Mr. Payne was from

ABOLITION FRUITS IN THIS CITY.

The disastrous results TO the colorcd popula-
ton, flowing from the misrepresentation Of
their professed friends. but in reality their most
bitter enemies, tho Anti Slayists, are almost
daily exhibiting themselves. They have excl
ted feelings that should never have been awaken
ed, & strengthened prsjudices already too strong;
which on every preface are ready TO spring in
10 action, and will occasion TO the colorcd people
continual annoyance, and, as proved the case
the night before the last, subject them to serious
broils.
Our whole police, with the aid Of officers from
the districts, was found necessary to quell dis
turbancc on Tuesday evening in the neighbor-
hood Of Lombard aud 9th streets which had a
more alarming appearance than anything that
has occurred among US for some time. The riot,
which had its origin IN some sqnabble connected ,
we understand with :" dog catching" received
fuel from other causes, which swelled II TO such
heights as TO render its suppression matter of
great difficulty as well as danger. Several Of
The police officers were cut and bruised, and 9TH
erwise seriously maltreated. They finally sue
ceeded in quelling the aiiray and arresting seve-
raj Of the rioters.
Our colored people cannot too soon open their
eyes TO the great injury which the Abolitionists
are causing them, under the pretence Of cleva-
ting them to an equality with their white neigh :
bours, They must not allow themselves to BIO
deceived in this way.
