and followed it. All day yesterday it rained and
greater portion of last night; and If this storm
have reached the Western portion OF your State,
the canals must be open again
The sudden closing of your canals had an lnstan-
aueous effect on eur -four market, and sales oil
Howard-st and City Mills were made at Sl oo.

that point, and now 81 IS is asked, but only 81 l52

bia Of the duties there having reached the maxi
num- has had depressing effect on cur market,
and trade yesterday was very dull.
There are number of candidates proposed tor
the vacant seat in Congress, occasloned by the
death of Mr. Williams. Col. HUGH ELY-com-
monty called the huge Coloael-the State Senator
for Baltimore county is, I sec. recommen ded, and
would like very much to take his place the floor
| Of Congress The Colonel has long been mem
Der of one House or the other of our State Legs
,a,ure. and is a man of some mind, though he has
mortal antipathy 10 Lindley Murray, and still
| more mortal enmtv TO Walker. He has no ear
for music. and therefore has learned nothing OF
pronunciation by his long service in the Legisla-
mar and pronunciation are formed on the princl'
pies of the Largest liberty" On one occasion,
when canvassing Baltimore county for the House
of Delegates, he was opposed by q man of eccen-
trio talents, and who even then too great vo-
tary of Bacchus and has since fallen prematuyely
into the grave frem the baneful influences Of the
bowl 81 hardly know where to place Col. Ely,
J.. L
| modern That he is not an ancient is proved by
the fact that he does not speak either Greek or
Latin. And then he cannot be modern, for he
discourses in no tongue known at this day. tie Is
not trenchnan, for he does not speak French.
Nor German for he does not speak German
Nor Portuguese nor Spanish, nor modern Greek,
nor Turk-for he speaks neither of those langua-
pes. Nor is he an American, for he does not
speak the English language. He must belong TO
an unknown tribe" The poor Colonel hardly sur
vived this sally, and though he escaped defeat,
the author of it, albeit he good Wing and
the county overwhelmingly Loco-Foco, was elected
at the head of the ticket. Should the Colonel get
to Congress- he would be rare speaker to report.
The District, as you know, is decidedly Loco
Foco and it is probable that party will fix upon a
candidate by Convention. In that event MIR,
Elias Brown of Carroll County when you may
remember as Member of Congress in 1880, or
along there, will, it is thought, be the can
didate He is q Calhoun man, and follows the
fortunes of that statesman in all his changes.
Hence he has been anti-Jackson, anti-Van Buren,,
and when Mr. Calhoun went over to Mr.. Van Bu-
rem in 1887, he became for Van Buren,, and has
been Loco Foco, or rather Calhoun man, ever
since. He is now q Member of the Legislature
for Carroll County, and is very popular man.
The question of who will be our United States
Senator in place of Mr.. KERR, whose term expires
next March, begins to be much talked about. The
indications are decidedly favorable to the election
of ex-Gov. William Grason, of Queen Anne's Coun-
~. He is understood to have the support of
Gov. Thomas, their old federalism drawing them
together. Mr. Murray Lloyd, of Talbot, (son Of
the former Senator of that name,) is also spoken
If, and Mr. Carmichael (who was in Congress IN
834) is to be added to those who are likely to be
candidates, though be and Gev. Grason being from
the same County, may push him off the track
We received some two or three Western mails
last evening. Passengers state that whilst the
mail coach was crossing keyser's ridge on Tues
day night, it upset and fell over the bank some
twenty feet but that no of the nine passengers
was hurt, except one who had his face little
scratched.
The members Of Congress who were injured by
the upsetting of the stage near Mount Sterling,
| (O) arrived at Wheeling on Tuesday, and publish
q card generating the driver of all blame. OF
course the report which reached you of the death
of Mr.. Caruthers is erroneous
The Express with the message for the West
reached Cumberland on Wednesday night in 6
hour. &c minutes from Washington distance of
over 2la miles. This is extraordinary speed
From Cumberland it was despatched by horse ex-
press by Messrs, Stockton, Fales & Co. and it is
supposed certainly reached Wheeling before Thurs
day night.
