early life. Mr.. Black was an: officer in the

the peaceful rising of the French people,

The prompt recognition of the new gov.

full and unqualified appreciation. aud he
bad been authorized, ia suitable manner,
to make known this fact to the constituted

neft, &c,
The telegraph war which has long ragged in
the West, between O'Reilly and Kendall, has now
changed its location to Baltimore, and regular
newspaper war has commenced, in which the
Messrs. Townsend, who have contracted to build
a new line to the West, by way of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, have also become involved.
They call each other humbugs and deceivers; but
there is thing most certain, OReilly's lines
are put up faster and better, work better have bet
ter operators, are reliable to the public-and what
is the cream of all-work cheaper and declare di-
vldends; whereas Kendall a. Co., with the most
profitable line iii the country, have yet to pay TO
sher stockholders the first farthng on their invest
ment. ORellly's successful humbugglng is there
FORE in more favor with the public than kendall's
sermons Oh patenees' rights &c.
The wings are becoming quite enthusiastic for
Taylor, and union seems 10 be most promising
among them. The wards are 70 meet tonight,
and march to the ratification meeting with music
and banners, and Monument Square will doubtless
be thronged to excess ! learn from the eastern
shore of Maryland that the popularity of General
Taylor IN that section sweeps away all opposition.
Maryland Notwithstanding the detection, will give
Taylor al least 5000 majority.
The heat and long drought in this section of
country is doing great damage to vegetation, and
all the mills have been compelled to stop on ac-
