useful hint TO letter writer's in general:

with rust, but we are told that the injury is
not as great as was feared. Early sowed
wheat is said to be but little. injured. We

Directors; VIM. H. Ward, also of Baltimore, old
Director; and r. D. Weeks, n. Robinson, Saml. R.
Brooks and Edward Field, of New York, who were

we'll known to citizens; the Baltimore Direc-
tors belong mostly to the richest and oldest
tile houses in that city, Directors of the various
banks and railroads thereabout, and WORTH
raj of them, 100000 to 100000. This is thought
to be quite as strong, a cabinet Gen. Taylor
has. This is the first Baltimore Direction this Com
pany has had, and, under the Presidency of Mr. Car
ter, the value OF the property will be fully develop
ed. Mr. c. is one of those energetic go-ahead men
who seem to succeed against destiny, by the
very infexbility of the will. The infusion Of the
mercantile and railroad interests into the Direction
will tend materially to expedite the improvement
of this property it will be the great interest of
these parties to make use of the Canton lands as
far as possible for commercial purposes and for the
termini Of railroads, sc. The extension Of the York
and Harrisburgh Road to junction of the Central
Pennsylvania Road at Harrisburgh, and the COM
petion Of the Baltimore and Ohio Road to the
Ohio, must exercise a very favorable influence upon
the interests Of the Canton Co. We should not be
