We would call the attention of our readers 10
the remarks of our correspondent Gallatin. We
have conversed with intelligent statesmen Of
both political parties and have not seen one wko
does not admit that the resumption IS premature
and the more in reference to the uncertainty
of the future action of the federal Government
What are we to gain by change of adrainis-
,ration If the same system of measures are to be
pursued by the new that has been condemned in
the olda We are confident that all that is want
ing in this community is for the business men to
compare opinions and rally to the support Of the
interests of our city and of the State.
win it not be time enough for our banks to
resume when we know what the General Gov
eminent will do, and after we have ascenained
what will be the condition of the Bank of the
| United States.
The late expose Of that institution shows that
it must rely on the sale Of American securities
in the hands OF Mr.. Jaudon to sustain itself; will
Il be wise in US to resume and thus involve our
selves in her fate until we have ascertained
what her fate is to be? The value of our bank
paper will depend upon the business done by our
merchants The banks can nee demands a
gainst them by the sale of produce, and pre-
4 mature resumption will force business to Phiia
: lphia ard New York which would othcrwis
: come 70 Baltimore.
= These are facts in the ease and ought TO
Z well considered before we act. Let the mel
: chants and business men look TO it.

The PATAPsco, AND OTHER POEMS: By
Charles Soran.-We have received very beau
tiiuIly printed volume of ? out one hundred
pages, wi this title. The hor prefaces bis

''The verses herein presented to the public,
at the solicitation of my friends, are the e1u-
sions Of one who

and whose opportunities for the cultivation of
poetic grace have been extremely limited
Many of the articles in the volume were ON
posed whilst in the actual performance of me-
chanical labor, and written ont in moments of
relaxation and all of them are the fruits of time
stolen from more important empleyments."

such as are TO be expected from one whose on.

PunLIc SCHOOLS OF OUR CtTY.-'Fhe friends
of education will be gratifsd with the follow
ing account of the present condition ofouF pub
JIG schools. We copy from the Patriot oil yes
terday: "rwo years since the whole num-
Der of pupils was about $50, while at present
the whole number, including night schools, is
23G0, showing an increase OF upwards Of 1000
in this short period This rapid and unex-
pectsd increase may be attributed partly to the
introduction of assistant teachers in all the
schools, u.ale and fsmale--partIy to the estab-
lishment Of the High School, under the super
intendence ola principal Of practical expert
ance, high reputation, and distinguished abli-
ty-partly to the establishment ola Primary
School in the northeast part of the city-but
mainly is The great increase to be attributed Il
the admirable system of instruction adopted in
all the primary schools, and TO the capacity,
zeal and diligence displayed by the respective
teachers. Indeed, It's due to the teachers in
all the schools, both male and female, to say,
that the commissioners could not have been
more judicious or more fortunate in their Sc
| lection All who were present at the recent
examination of the schools will concur in this
tribute to merit, and will cheerfuly declare that
they were surprised and delighted by the per
formance ofthe scholars.
s'The system of instruction, by simultaneous
recitation and by familiar lectures, which is in
use in the public schools, would he much bet
ter understood by short visit to any one oil
til schools, than from the most laboured ex-
PLANTATION. Ifthen the reader be under an i'm
preston that the primary public schools OF the
cit, are second to any other common sc. ools
either here or elsewhere, let him spend an hour
in the schools and the impressic will be re-
moved. 1t matters not how dense may be the
fog ofpreiudice that surrounds him, it will be
quickly scattered by the light nftruth-conYic.
ton will fash upon him and he will come away
the fast friend Of the public schools.
'sThe experiment made last season of open
ing one night school, in the centre Of the city
: has proved very successful, the commission
e ers were encouraged to open night school a
each male primary school, and the result is tina
e upwards of $50 youths are receiving that in
+ struction which is essential for making then
useful members of society"

| AcCIDENT.-On Saturday afternoon, Professor
| Dunbar, of the Washington University, met with
an accident, in which he only escaped through
the interposition of Providence He was riding
in his carriage, on the Govanstown road, on
professional visit, when, in descending a very
steep and dangerous hill beyond Towsontown,
his horse took fright and dashed off at full speed
The driver steadily endeavored to rein in the
excited animal, but becoming it is supposed,
little alarmed he suffered the horse to swerve to
one side of the road, when a wheel of the car
rage went down small declivity The jar
threw the boy entirely from lis seat upon the
side of the road. No longer checked by the
rein, the frightened horse sprang forward with
increased velocity. At this time the Doctor
could see, Just in front, culvert, upon the stone
abutment of one side of which the carriage
would, in all probability, BE- dashed pieces in
the next moment. But he kept his seat with
| steady courage, awaiting the fearful issue. The
conclusion came, breaking the shafts, detaching
the horse, and injuring the carriage. Happily
the Doctor received no injury. The servant
was taken up in great pain, and conveyed to the
city. He died that night Upon examination,
his liver was found to be much bruised, and there
was, internally, large efusion of blood He
