the first place, il the Baltimore road is driven

situation to intercept the trade and travel toa

necessity OF connection with the west, the
Pittsburghers in turn urging on Baltimore to
take the Pittsburgh route aud thus build a
hundred and fifty miles of that road which is

We hear the rumors usual at this period of
a short crop Of Cotton-and some PERSONS guess
that 1t will not much exceed two million bales.
Our guess is that it will about equal the crop
oi this year between 2 300, 900 and 2.IOO. 900
