Mr.. EDITOR In the Times of December
10th, mention was made of an attempted rob-
berry in the woods near Sewalls Pond, between
Brunswick and Bath, and in consequence of
which, "those who travel on the Brunswick
road in the night time were advised to take
''six barrel protector with them" This is
being copied into different papers through the
State, and the impression goes abroad that
robbery and crime are on the increase not
withstanding the temperance reform, and the
rigorous enforcement of the much talked of
maine Law
Now, the truth is, the "Jarrel protectors
make the trouble Just enforce the liquor
law, destroy the liquor, and there need be no
fears from robbery on the Brunswick road, or
any other leading out of Bath. The barrels
receive altogether too much protection from
citizens of Bath, and the almost every day traf-
tic unlawfully carried on between the two pIac-
es, is such that one in the least acquainted
with the fruits of such business, would not be
surprised at the facts mentioned as having oc-
Cured near Sewal's Pond.
How cautious the authorities of Bath are or
what measures they take to prevent the illegal
sale of liquor, am not able to say, but there
has been more trouble, and more complaint
here, occasioned by liquor being brought from
Bath, aad used in Brunswick the past season.
than from all other sources and causes com.
bined. Don't think it strange that such at
tempted robberics occur that criminals of va
rious kinds are lurking about our streets, that
our dwellings and our persons are in danger
while we harbor that on which they live and
thrive, and which produces and brings into
existence their hellish passions. No, we
ought not, is the opinion of one living on
BRUNSWICK ROAD.

SLAVERY IN MARYLAND.-The Frederick
(Md) Citizen says that the fact is not generally
known that in f1auver's District in that county.
there is not single slave owner, and perhaps
not one slave. In Catoctin, the adjoining dis
trlct' there are but two slaves, and only one
slave owner. In Jackson district which was
formerly embraced within the limits of Catoc-
tin and Middleton districts, and which lies be-
tween said two districts there are but thirteen
slaves, and seven slave holders. In those three
districts, which contain ne-ninth of the entire
population OF the county, we have but if-
teen slaves and eight slave holders. The Cit
i-en attributes the few number of slaves to the
fact that the citizens reside in a mountainous
section of country, which has seldom been
visited by an aboitionist.

The Vice President elect.

The illness of Dir. King is of so serious ma
ture that he has been induced to resign his of
flee as President of the Senate. 1t is said the
symptoms of his illness are similar to those
which bore down Henry Clay to his grave, and
it is not improbable that he may not live until
the 4th of March. He himself is understood
to be at times of that opinion. 1t appears,
however, by the last advices, that his health
has improved, and the services of his physician
have been dispensed with. We trust his i'm
provement may prove of permanent charac-
ter. The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post drops the following important
remarks upon the subject Of the Vice Pres
idency:-
Senator A:chison, of Missouri, who has so
long filed the place of Mr.. King, pro tennpore,
has, you are aware, been chosen acting pres
ident Of the senate. What effect this will
have on the permanent designation for the
vice presidency in case of the providential
removal of Mr.. King it is impossible 10
foresee. Ii will soon be seen what special
power the constitution confers in such emer-
gency. And this is especially important, in
view of the possibility of the decease of both
the president and vice president during their
oiflclal terms. In that case the acting pres.
Ident OF the senate may become president of
the Union.
These things are important, as showing

cessty OF a careful exercise of The functions

Niagara Falls as a Water Po,Uer-The cit
liens of the Falls and Eastern capitalists are

power now nearly useless. The Lockport
Courier says -" We are informed that an
Eastern company has been organized for the
purpose Of constructing canal at Niagara
Falls. The canal is TO commence abont half a
mile above the Falls, and pass directly through
the village at the falls, and empty, of course,
into the river below tho cataract. The Por-
tiers have made liberal donations to the enter
prise, and there is no doubt in the opinion of
our informant, but that the PROJECT will be sue
cessiully carried out.

Freights.

Many persons sigh now days. for piece of
a ship. Oh for sixteenth, an eighth, a quar-
ter, piece, anyhow How we would feather
our nest Blu: it must be recollected our ship
owners have seen some dreadful blue times for
two or three years past, or since the wing ad-
ministration commenced. If now, under the
impulse of a prospective new order of political
things, freight harvests come in rich, we are
glad of it. 1t would afford US much Joy to find
the snug fortunes of our enterprising shipown-
ers in this city doubled ere twelve months
elapse. The New York Express says clipper
ship owners particularly are coming gold.-
"The freight money on any of the new clippers
hence to California, with the rates as at pres
ent, eco to 95 cents per foot measurement. }
amounts to the snug sum of seuenty-fUe to
eighty thousand dollars, in case no accident &C.
ours. From California they generally proceed
to the Eas; Indies or China, and from thence
to Europe or the United States, according to
the charter"
The Express publishes a table showing the
difference in the rate of freight now and one
year ago. Then Is. Is. lid. per barrel was
paid for flour to Liverpool-now IS. Cd. As.
Cotton to Havre was then ID 5-Sc. per lb-
now lie. Al New Orleans Dec. 18th, last year,
1-l6d. was paid for cotton to Liverpool-now
Id; to New York and Boston 1-2c.-now lie.
In short, the rates of freight have more than
doubled within year, and ship owners are
reaping rich harvest.

Report of the Secretary Of War.

The report of Mr.. Conrad, Secretary of
War, is well written document, and
touches upon many points of interest con-
nected with the land forces of the country.
The efforts of the department have been
chiefly directed during the past year. TO The
protection of The frontiers, and for this pur-
pose 5000 out of 1000 officers and men.
composing our whole force, have been en-
ployed in the defence of Texas. New Mexi-
CO, California, and Oregon, and ,he trains Of
emgrants OH their way 10 those countries.
The expenses Of the quarermaster's de-
rartment have considerably reduced during
the year, fact which is worthy of note
The reduction for the current year, as COM
pared with the last year, is $50l 1852, and
for the next years. further reduction OF
100000.
The Secretary despairs however, OF a
general reduction in the expenses of the ar
my so long as proportion of it is employed
in countries that furnish no supply Tor its
support, and suggests, in order to carry out
the intention of our Government, in regard
to the protection of Texas from The depre-
dations Of The Indians, that portion of her
vast domain, may be temporarily allotted TO
the exclusive occupancy Of the Indians with
BY the last census the total population of
New Mexico, exclusive of wild Indians, is
in round numbers-6l, 900 souls, and the
whole real estate is eslimdted-in round
numbers at $2,800,000.
Attention is called TO The defenses of the
sea coast. He urges immediate action as
regards the protection of our principal sea-
ports and naval stations, viz Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk,
Charleston, Savannah, Pensacola, Mobile,
and New Orleans, and lo,her places, and
earnestly recommends necessary appropria-
tions for the speedy completion of the works
at New Bedford and San Francisco, and also
for the protection of the outer harbor of New
York.
He also speaks OF the improvements of
rivers and harbors, and says by far the
greatest number will require additional, and
some OF them very large additional appro-
prlatIons 10 complete them.
The report closes with repetition of the
suggestions put forth in The last report, and
particularly calls attention to those of the
General-in-chief, that the third section of the
act OF June 9Th, 1850, entitled an act to in
crease the rank and file Of the army and en-
courage enisments: be repealed.
