The Rail Road Report.

We regret tina, we areN unable, from
want ofspace, to present to our readers
the very able aud interesting report OF
Thomas Swan, Esq, President, as to the
present condition and future prospects of
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road. We
shall, however, publish in our next paper
an abSlrac, of its most important portions.
In the mean time there are one or two
matters to which we will now refer.
During the year ending Sept. 30,h, the
number of passengers local travel carried
over the main stem was l46,02l; Of
these 6S, 47O were taken eastwardly and
1855 wystwardly. Total through pas
sengers westward, 1925; eastward, H.
900.
During the year, lac, CAS- tons Of Goa!
were delivered at Locust Point and other
points along the road. Tie company have
ordered 80 iron hoppers and 90 gondolo
cars for the coal trade from the Western
port region.
OF the road west, l67 miles are in va
rious stages OF advancement. The Com
PAW will commence TO lay rails early in
the Spring. There are employed on the
entire line $500 laborers and 700 horses,
and the value of work done up TO Sept.
3Oth was 1892, ll2 40.
The line from Cumberland TO the
piedmont Station" near Westernport,
say % miles, is expected to be opened a.
bout the Isl Of June next.
The work at the Kingwood Tunnel is
progressing rapidly. Its length will be
4, 100 feet and already 1900 feet of the
heading have been driven through in five
months, thus making it sure that 1t will
be completed in the estimated time.
We have selected these facts as being
of general interest to our readers. But as
the report abounds in interesting statistics,
we must content ourselves with this much
for the present.-Cumberland Ciuitian.

African steam Lines.

The entertainment by the Government
Of Great Britain of a project for the es-
adjustment of q powerful line OF steam
vessels between that country and the At
rican coast, ostensibly for the conveyance
of a monthly mail and the more efiectual
checking of the slave traffic, Is strong
proof, we think, Of the value that the
commerce between the two countries IS
capable of becoming. Itmay, in addition,
be- regarded as corroborauve OF the Just
ness of the position taken by the advocates
o. q mail steamer line between this coun-
try and Africa. We are by no means
disposed 10 look invidiously on the en-
,erprising spiri. exhibited abroad for Sc
curing closer connexion with country,
the great merchantile wealth of which is
yet comparatively speaking, untouched.
This spirit should have on us no other
than stimulating effect. Besides for
years, if no. ages TO come, the trade with
Africa can admit Of no very close COM
petition. The promised vastness OF this
trade, whilst excluding all idea OF monop-
oily, must continue TO excite TO new en-
tcrprise by its unlimited rewards. 1t is
necessary that we should exhibit statistics
to show how largely England has bene-
fitted by her persevering though frequently
interrupted communication with the in
terror parts of that great continent, nor to
make plain how, with better knowledge
and more ready means of access, mer-
chantile risks will be lessened and meI-
chantile profits enlarged. 1t will be re-
membered that the Congressional COM
mittee to whom the question of establish
ing mail steamers between this country
and Africa was referred, adverted in their
report to the aid its adoption would afford
in the consumation Of the plans of the
Colonization Society. On the intimate
relation between the one and the other, II
was supposed that good part OF the re-
quired success was dependant. 1t is
something singular that the colored race
those in reality most interested IN the
future destinies Of Africa--should be so
lightly affected by the evidences con-
tinually being presented in favor OF colo
nization. He will do service to this
country as we'll as Africa who shall do
any thing to open the eyes OF the colored
race to the advantages of emigration to
the fertile and, to them, congenlal shores
of Africa.-Nat. Int.

An Insect Scourge.

One. of the finest and richest valleys OF
Savoy has just fallen under devastating
scourge. A host of insects, which are
COMPOUNDED by the people with the To-
Gusts, aligned some time since in the
valley of the Isere, near St. Pier d Alblgnl:
These hibivorous insects are thousand
times more destructive than the locust !;
they are crickets (acidium.) Their pres
ence has been already marked by dePlo-
rable ravages in the crops of maize, which
were at Systematically promising. Ihey
increase and multiply in most irightiui
manner; each Of the females deposits IN
little holes in the ground several thousand
eggs which are soon Matched. When
Rsy have cleared one spot of every YES
tge of heritage, they proceed to another
and unless some efficacious measures are
adopted, the whole Of Savoy will be de-
vastated. These insects are as much 10
be dreaded when dead as when living {;
for, if killed by cold rain, their bodies
exhale an infectious miasma, which causes
epidemical diseases.-Gahgnanis Mes

Character OF the Convention.

The following from the Richmond
Times, as TO the kind of material, COM
posing the convention, will be received as
good testimony
CATER three days observation of that
body, we should feel disposed TO say
something of the impressions which we
have derived. of It's character. We may
say briefly, that we find fully confirmed
The Judgment we expressed, soon after
the popular election, that the Convention
would, in point of intellectual ability, do
great credit to the State. 1t was not our
good fortune to witness the proceedings
of the celebrated Convention of lS29-3O,
whose work an overwhelming maj ority
Of the people now think it Necessity to
undo. Yet, leaving out of view the three
most ilustrious lights of that assemblage.
Marshall, Madison and Monroe, whose
equals in reputation are unfortunately not
now to be found in Virginia. we are per-
suaded that the present Convention will
bear favorable comparison with that, in
respect 10 The aggregate ability offs mem
bers. Indeed, we question whether a
larger proportion of strong men, in the
whole number Of one hundred and thirty.

delegated TO perform a public trust.

The Voice OF Hampshire.

Hon. Richard Parker, we learn, will
address the citizens of Hampshire at the
Court House on Monday next, The 2sth

The last Romney Intelligencer contains
an urgent call 10 moderate men as well as
ultras, those who are satisfied with the
late measures as well as the friends of the
Nashville Convention, TO attend, and give
ga fair expression" Of the opinion of the
people. We hope it will be fully res
ponded to, and that our friends of Hamp-
shire will see the importance OF placing
themselves right in the eyes of the coun-
try. The mere fact that meeting was
held on the twelfth, and extreme resolu-
lions passed is about all that will reach OBJ
servers at distance. Another movement,
in the same form, is need 10 counteract
the fallacious impression that will have

lasted all day, very largely attended. A
mong the many toasts drunk on the occs-

The CANAL.--The completion Of the
Canal TO Cumberland has had the effect
of materially reducing the price Of Coal,
and consequently Of greatly increasing its
use. The Hagerstown News says:
A few months since the price paid at
WilliamsPort was sixteen cents per bush
ell, now it can be had at that place for 10
or IL cents per bushel. Many persons
in this place have almost entirely dispens.
cd with the use Of wood as fuel, and
commenced the use of coal, finding it
much cheaper and less trouble as well as
being attended with much less danger.
