do well " -
o...,oxpESrs.- reasons that we have
~ N;-on we cannot occupy our columns with
Os.O.s a;sou,ations, and must therefore decline
II Communications advocating any particular sys-
' ' If faith or worship. We aim to make our pa
'sH '.f,I in secular matters, and leave peoples
t.. ssntiments with their consciences, their
's"s Co.. and their God. Papers whose province
'A.,' ,s,cb religion may with propriety do that
,,h;cb we refuse TO do, but our readers have no
wv, . .,,ins upon US for what we do not contract
s..b,n they have upon boarding house keep
..s,, sermon every day at dinner, or n budget OF
-. I,tst sectarian publications.
W. sbopld do an" who has sent us another
.,nmnDication, the Justice TO say that he is not
Catholic, and is very far from being an office-seek-
=, and Is totally undeserving the rude language
weed toward him in the Gazette.
As ALLEGATION took place at the Wharf yes
,s,a,v between one of the clerks of the Falls
ctv and trayman, about the location of some
f,,iybt which was being discharged. The dray-
man struck the clerk, and while some persons
we're endeavoling TO part them the clerk was
,,,in struck by another d;ayman and in the melee
which ensued got into the river. An officer in
attempting to arrest them was resisted and
struck by still another drayman. Four draymen
were engaged in the fracas, and the result was that
they were all fined by Alderman DUTY, one of
them go, thee of them $40, and the clerk SIS.

~ nr-We have horafofnra a
rered TO the Importance of rendering every posi-
BE facility for the transportation on the B. & o.
Rsilroad, by way of Wheeling, of Cotton from
The Southern markets, and we now again recur to
The subject by noticing that recent shipment
from the house of Messrs. E. WERE, ROWLAND &
Co., Of Louisville, amounted to 1000 bales Tor
Baltimore and 1850 for New York. We are in
formed, upon reliable authority, that if the facili-
ties and inducements which it is within the power
Of this road to present, were now presented,
half of the Cotton supply at Memphis, now amount
Ing to 100000 bales, would find its way through
veil as large portion of the supplies from the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. This is GER
ainl! an object worthy of attention, and we are
gratifed TO lesrn that Col. E. WEBB, of the
lbOve named firm, is now in Baltimore urging this
subject upon the attention of her citizens. The
experience of this gentleman in the Commerce of
he West will enable him to impart much valuable
normaton in detail in regard TO the present ard
he proposed rates of charges by the B. & o. Rail-
Dad on the leading staples of the West and South
rest, and the importance of reducing the CHARGES
IN Cotton, as well as Tobacco, Hemp, Flour, Pork,
ssckerel, Coffee, &c.
Col. E. WEBB. from his long connection with
Western Commerce, and his more recent connec-
ion with "the New York, Baltimore, Wheeling
lnd Louisville Line," is throughly familiar with
the subject, and as We learn that the present able
President of the B. & o. Railroad, VIC. HAIR
'Is0S, Esq, entertains the most liberal views on
his subject, Cot. WEBs's efforts in behalf of
Western trade cannot fail to he attended with good
esults.
