our county. f.fiis firm recently engaged very
largely in the transportation Of coal 'rome tum'
berland to Georgetown, and aiser considerable
expense and detgs, consequent upon a'dehctency
of water in the tenal, reached HArpers.FerFy on

with four b~oatsIEcbart, Mourtaineer, NJ. 7.
Davison, and NJ. T. Harrison-sach boat carry
ing IO4 tons oftsoat, the largest amount that has
yet been transported by any boats on the canal.
These boats appeared to. glide On the bosom OF
the waters as sfropthly and easily as others with
half their amount Of. tonnage, spd We will YEP
ture the suggestion that they can carry $50 tons
to the boat. ~
The citizens Of LIarpcrs Ferry: who teel a deep
interest in this enterprise, upon hearing OF the
: arrival of these h5ats, met en- mssse ard hoisted
the star-splangIea banner upon the warehouse OF
Capt. Bowling and fred four roands Of cannon
one for each boat, as theybOuyaatly Heated down
the canal, drawn by four mules zach, which. are
unsurpassed for strength and beauty by any
teams used on. the canal sand uEson their dcpar-
ture four saIutes were given again from the
cannon.
The citizens Of IEarpers-F erry{and our county
at large, have a ;toep interest in Che s"cccss of
an enterprise which identifies thep, by this chain
of communication, with Cumberland and George
town. 1t is an enterprise in which the hopes,
the labor, the perseverance,, and toe means, to a
very large extent, Of this worthy, ;ntelligent and
en,erprisiDg Company have been embarked.
When the boats started from Cumberland, as
reported by The Cumberland Ailegan:an, the
Freeman Rodin, a loat o: Capt. Ward, actuated
by a spirit of emulation, determines t oreport her
SELF as carrying II larger amount of coal than
Capt. Bowling, placed on her lG5 tons 600 lbs.
Of coal, but before ;he Freeman Rodin reached
Hancock she was forced by her Inability 10 car
ry the amount to lay off 10 tons. Thus gaining
the credit OF transporting the largest amount Of
coal, when in fact Capt. Bowling & Co. have
reached here with over 30 i'ons more than this
other boat. May tho labors of this honest and
enterprising firm be<richly rewarded.

DE ON YOUR GUARD.

1t is generally believed that a gang ofburgl"rs
who, for The last few months have infested seve-
raj portions of Maryland and Pennsylvania, are
now in our Valley. a little boy, who, there is
every reason to believe, has been used by them
as a "spy," was secured in Clarke county a few
days ago, and the fact of his accomPIices being
in the neighborhood was sufficiently evidenced by
several circumstances, unnecessary here TO men
ton. Our people should be on their guard and
prepared to give the maEtders a "warm Tecep'
tiop.' should it become necessary.

COMFY a FEW FANATICS,

Those nominal Southern presses and politicians
who wish to conceal from the people the real eX-
tentof the opposition at the North to the execu-
ton, of the Fugitive Slave Law, are always ready
to excIaim, when confronted with the constantly
accommodating evidences ola determination to re-
sisl its execution "Oh! it is only a few fanatics
and free negroes that have arrayed themselves
against the execution Of the law the great body
of the Northern people are sound" This is all
sheer self-deiusion or something worse it is fall
sihed by facts which admit OF but one construc-
ton. Have not every northern religious denomi-
nation denounced the law, and declared their pur-
pose to resist its execution And are the Bap-
lists, and Presbyterians, and Methodists, and
Unitarians, and Congregationaiists, of the North,
made up exclusively of a few abolitionisis and
free negroes? 1t is utterly untrue. They con-
stitute the great feelings and sentiments. 1t is
idle to deny it, and those who do only practice
deception upon the Southern people. Who is
Washington Hunt, ofNew York, the Wing can
didate for Governor, but the representative and
exponent of the principles of his party? And has
he not cone ont, in a letter, for the repeal or es-
sential modification of the law? Yet, VIC are
told that it is only a few crazy abolitionists and
free negroes that are doing all the mischief. Out
upon such gross deception !-LynchJWrg Rep.

WARREN COUNTY MEETING.

a meeting of the citizens Of Warren county

consider the ~propriety of a vote by the people
upon a county subscription to The Manasseh Gap
Railroad. ROBT. NJ. MARSHALL, Esq was
appointed Chairman. and S. B. GARDINER, Esq.
Secretary.
The object ofthe meeting was explained by the
Chairman, who stated that $50 far as the Engi-
neers had xamine the routes through the cOun-
ty, the one by Front Royal was The shortest and
most eligible, but the most expensive the other
route longer, and perhaps cheaper. 1t was i'm
possible, as at present advised, to decide abso.
luteIy and definitely upon the route Of the road. F."
The following gentlemen, from the several
parts of the county. were appointed to report the
best plan of attaining The object of the meeting:
Messrs. Edward b.. Jacobs, Chas. II. Green, An

MAINLAND CONVENTION

The Reform Convention OF Maryland, assem-
bled on Monday week, but up to Saturday last no
organization had taken place, in CONSEQUENCE of
the inability Of the Convention TO choose a pre-
siding officer. Gen. Chapman, Wing, and Gen.
Benz. C. Howard, Democrat, are the contestants.
On Saturday they each received AZ votes Wm.
Cost johnson Of Frederick county, was support.
cd in the early part of the week as an ~Indepen.

a week more may be consumed, before an organi-
cation can be effected. It is thought that MIR.

A FACT WORTHY OF CoNsIDERA-
TION.
Had not the present Congress sanctioned the
California Constitution, but remanded that State
back to her territorial condition, as every consi,
deration Of right and constitutional duly impc.
riousIy required, the f." cotton plantations Of The
South ,routd hare been almost dcPopulatei IF their
negroes" Slaves, instead Of being worth. ms
now, $400 aud 5000, would in two years have
been worth at least 81, OOO-thus enhancing the
total value Of the slave property of.tlre South n
least $500, ooO,UuU! But instead or inns result
an entire different one will be produced, and in
few years the value of our slave property will b
immeasurably reduced, and in twenty years
will scarcely be worth owning!!
