The Village of CharlestOWn.

We have received the following COM
munlcation in relation to this village.
When at Charlestown, we have often adj
mired the beauty, as we'll as the advan-
tages Of its locations. The expansive
bay of the North East spreads out before
it, with Maulden's mountain and the
n'Ighborng hills looming up In the dis
lance, presenting a. beauty of scenery sell
dom surpassed. The ground upon which
it is built is beautiful eminence with
6ns southern declinatlon; the water is
bold and opens out directly into the Ches-
apeake, and our Traveller is not the only
one who has been surprised that it has
not grown into Aourishing town. We
are glad that the spirit Of improvement
is abroad at Charestown, and we shall
hope that It will make the progress which
the advantages Of its situation seem to de-
mand Tor it.
Mr.. EplToR:-On passing through the
village of Charlestown, IN your State,
was very forcibly struck with the beau
ty Of ITS location, on the waters of the
North East river, Immediately at the
head of the great Chesapeake Bay, and
was rather surprised to see SO little change
made in this age Of improvements; but l
was informed that new Era is about la
king place. A line of steamboats, has
commenced running to Philadelphia twice
a week the public wharf is about being
rebuilt which will be free, 1t is said, to
any enterprise, and a spirit of enterprise
is about among the citizens.
The situation is said to be equally
healthy with any IN Maryland. The
lands in ITS vicinity are cheaper than al
most any place in the State, and equally
fertile, and the farming interest rapidly
increasing. ] should deem it one Of the
most eligible situations for great manu-.
featuring establishments of any kind.
The great thoroughfart OF the Baltimore
and Phiada., Rail Road, passing through
it, and the cheap and easy water commu-
nications with Philada and Baltimore,
where markets and supplies could always
be found A TRAVELLER.

A Capital RetOrt.

A gentleman Of this county, who was
present at the discussion between Messrs.
Lowe and Clarke at Leonardtown. gives
the following account Of portion Of that
discussion, which We do not remember to
have been reported in the papers:
MIR. LOWE stated in his peroration, that
il elected governor, as he expected to be
by the irresistible Democracy of:he State
he would take that intellectual, giant and
eminent Statesman, FRANCIS Thomas, for
his model. Mr. CLARKE retorted, by re-
marking that he would not take tina, gen.
man for his model-that if he did, he
would have to endorse his Free Soil prIn-
ciples Git will be remembered that he
voted for Van Buren, in 1S4S) Mr., Lowe
bounced up like an India Rubber Ball,
and exclaimed that he too was opposed to
those principles. Mr.. CLARKE further
remarked, that If he took Mr.. Thomas for
his model, he might be obliged to sell Ca
nal Bonds at sixty cents in the dollar.
This again brought Mr.. Lowe to his feet,
who also said he couldn't 60 that. Mr..
Clarke then said, that if the gentleman
d,savowed all Mr.. Thomas principles
and merely laid claim to his talents, he
would like to share them with him.

"The Little Mud Countless"

AT the last Democratic meeting at the
Junction, one of the Locofoco speakers
from Baltimore, while advocating for her
a representation in the Legislature, in
proportion to her population, contemptu-
ously called the counties "THE LITTLE
MUD COUNTIES. Should the coun-
ties BE- insane enough 10 consent to her
having such representation, they will
not be "Mud Counties" long. They
will soon be Dust Counties; for her pop
ulatlon OF $4,000, will send to the Leg
isIature, in conjunction with those sent
from the larger counties of the Western
Shore, a sufficient number OF members to
grind the ".Nud Counties" to Dm'. Peo-
pie OF the counties, be on your guard; a
more daring attempt 10 rob you Of your
independence and place you at the mer-
cy OF Baltimore, than that now making,
is not to be found IN the recorded acts Of
any party that ever existed in this State.
1t was rera rked by Mr. Jefferson, that
"great cities are grea. sores,' and expe-
Renee has shown that remark to be just.
Had 1t not been for the great city OF Bal
timore, the debt OF thirteen millions Of
dollars now owed by this State Tor inter
nal Improvements; would never have been
incurred. 1t was by her influence and
manly Tor her benefit, that the State be-
came involved, and the people of the
Eastern Shore and those OF the lower
counties OF the Western Shore, burlhened
with the heavy taxes under which they
at this time suffer; and will, according to
the best estimates we have seen, be COM
PEELED to bear for the ensuing ten years
at least, though these Improvements are
OF no advantage to them. Who is so far
seeing as at this time to know, that Balti-
more will not, should she obtain the in
huence at which she aims, and which
some unth.nking men out OF her own linn
its are willing to ooncede to her, propose
in, and carry through the Legislature,
measures for other Improvements, which
will still further increase the debt Of the
State, and add to the burthens OF the peo-
plea To prevent this, is the especial du-
ty oithe "Mud Countless" and the perfect
knowledge they have Of their true ihte-
rests will prompt them to do it. Bati-
more is certainly great and Aourishing
city, but her citizens should not forget
that amongst other contributors to her
greatness and prosperity, she stands
bound to acknowledge ",he Little Mud
Counties" II Baltimore treats them with
scorn before she has stripped them Of their
strength, what have they to expect from
her, when, weak and helpless, they find
themselves al her foot stool?

From the Sun OF Friday.1

FURTHER PARTlcuLARs.-We regret to
find that, notwithstanding our repeated
warnings and cautions, larger amount OF
the notes of the Havre de Grace Bank
were in circulation in this city at the time
OF ITS stoppage than had ever been the
case before. Our prudent business men
generally made practice of sending all
they had received during the day to the
brokers before closing up in tn. evening,
and consequently but few have suffered 10
any considerable extent, but the small
store-keepers, mechanics and others, who
are the least able 70 bear the loss, have
suffered pretty severely. Many Of the
brokers are SAID to have large sums on
hand, but it is generally presumed in such
matters that they are able to take care OF
themselves. They were buying those Of
fered yesterday at twenty five cents for
the dollar, considerable of which was dis.
posed of at that rate-and We heard last
evening that as high as fifty cents IN the
dollar was offered.
From Havre de Grace, we learn that
there was considerable excitement in tina,
usually quiet place yesterday The amour,
of the money in circulation there was I'M
.precedented, and but two persons are
known to have entirely escaped. Some
had as high as $500 on hand, and Others
smaller sums down to one dollar. We
heard of number OF poor laborers and
females in that vicinity who had saved
small sums of money, and suddenly found
its value to have diminished to one fourth
OF what It purported to be. The resident
directors at Havre de Grace are men OF
good standing, and state that, so far as the
books Of the Bank show, its condition is
is not beyond resusctatlon and the re-
demption OF its liabilities. They have
taken possession OF its assets, and we learn
that a box supposed to contain specie
reached there yesterday, and was also Ia.
ken POSSESSION OF by the directors. A
large majority Of the stock OF the Bank is
held in Wall street, New York, and Moses
Y. Beach was one Of its principal foun-
ders.
These are the facts as far as we have
been able to Obtain them. Those who hold
its notes can judge Tor themselves whether
it will be for their advantage to dispose of
them, or to hold on to the hope OF better
fare from the bank itself than is offered to
them by the brokers.

The following is Mr.. McKennan's let
ter 10 the President, resignirg the office
OF Secretary Of the Interior:
WASHINGTON, Pa. Aug. &c, 1850.
My Dear Sir: | respectfully tender to
you my resignation OF the Department OF
the Interior, 10 which you did me the
honor Of calling me.
This determination has not been reach
ed without the most serious and anxious
deliberation
A consciousness OF my peculiar nervous
temperament, which too readily responds
10 causes OF excitemeh. and depression,
would have prompted me, in the first
place, to decline the offer; but the kind
manner of the appointment, accompanied
by the good wishes OF the Cabine, and
backed by the pressing urgency of friends
made so strong an impression upon me
as to leave me no alternative but to ac-
cept. A briet experience ofthe arduous
laeors aud onerous responsibilities Of the
tions of private and domestic nature,
which press upon me with great force,
has brought me TO the conclusion that a
due observance OF duty to my family and
my self require my withdrawal.
In thus dissolving my brief official as
ISOLATION with you. permit me TO say, that
l cherish confident reliance upon the
patriotism, capability, and worth of eve
ny member Of the Adminisl ration, and a
hopeful assurance OF its success. TO this
end no effort OF mine in my retirement,
shall, at any time BE- wanting.
May not also assure you OF my CRATE
full appreciation ofthe kindnes, extern
tended to me 10y you and your official as

With respectful and sincere regard, |
am, yours, faithfully,

Excitement in Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Aug. 9

Af'Ri'i"DNhu1 mug ~1'"'
Our town has been the scene OF great
excitement yesterday and to-day, on ac-
count of the arrest and examination Of
three black fugitives from Virginia.
Yesterday the court was engaged all
day in the examination OF the negroes on
writ of habeas corpus They were
charged with horse stealing, but were in
reality fugitive slaves No decision was
made yesterday, but this morning Judge
Pearson decided that the stealing of a
horse by slave for the purpose of esca-
ping, was not criminal offence under
the law for retaining tueitives, and con,
sequently be discharged them.
The slaves were at once ushered out
OF the prison door, but no sooner reached
the street, when they were slezed by
their masters, and battle ensued between
them After a severe struggle, two Of
the slaves were 6nally handcufftd, but
one Of them made his escape.
The court has ust issued warran,
against the owners and all engaged in the
affair, for an assault and battery with IN
tentlon 10 create riot The slaves and
their owners are now IN Jail.
The court has also ordered the Sheriff
to employ posse Tor the purpose of dis
persing, at all hazards, the mob now as
sembled in front OF the prison.
SECOND DESPATCH.
... Aug. 24-1A, P. NJ.
Ten free negroes have been arrested for
trying to incite to riot. The slaves, two
in number are IN prison.
The owners of the slaves and other
persons engaged in securing them after
discharge BY the court, are now before
the Court Oil writ OF habeas corpus.
The two slaves are held in Jail.
The crowd before the prison has been
n'spersed by he military, called out I'M
der General Seller, and the town is resu-
ming, in measure, its wonted quiet and
order.
