the Ashland Company are procuring from 10 to 20
tons per day from bank belonging to Mr.. James
Norris, about two miles east of White Hall. About
ten hands are employed in quarrying it. Large
quantities are also taken tOSarah Furnace, in Har-
ford county. Much ore is also procured from the

It's said that the salary of $4,000 year 10
Cabinet officers fails to pay the cost of living at
Washington, and the Secretary of the Interior, IN
bisreport, urges that the Government should build
Cabinet. ~
. An American Minister to foreign government
receives all annual salary of 600, with an equa!
sum for outfit; and Charge Affairs salary ana
outfit of half that sum. Plain republican peo-
pie have supposed that Cabinet and Foreign
Ministers were paid munifcenny, if not exuava-
gailtly. and that they boarded moneYout OF Uncle
SANS treasury. The facts are quito the REVERSE
for most of them spend more than their salaries
while in Office. Rents, &C., at Washington are
high, and the members of the Cabinet have to
maintain the fashions customs and hoSpltallueS oil
their stations and the metropolis. The Foreign
Minister must edo in Rome as the Romans do,
and in order to ascertain the true state of the case
in regard 10 the inadequacy of their salaries, ou'
Government, few months since, issued circular
dispatch several of our Ministers in Europe, ask
ing Of them information as to the expenses they are
severally obliged 10 incur.
Hon. Abbott Lawrence, late Minister to the
Courtof st James, replies that possessing private
means, he has not been very economical or exact
il. his expenses. But he thinks the presentsalary
inadequate for Minister residing in London, and
concludes by saying:
MThe rent of a furnished house in London, in
convenient and proper location, would not be less
than from G7O0 to G900 year. Horses and car
riages would cost from &225 to 825O year. ana
to meet properly these and all other expenses
growing out of the position, would require, IN my
Judgment, an annual salary of twenty thousand
dollars. deem it proper to add that my own ex-
penses have exceeded these sums"
Hon w. C. RiveS writes from Paris, that $4,000
is as little as will cover the necessary expenses of
an American Minister at that capital, who lives
''within as modest limits as decent regard for his
postion lIermits;" and he gives the various items
OF expenditure to fortify his opinion.
Hon. Neil S. Brown, our Minister at st. Peters
burgh says that his expenses the first year. were
S6O0O His family are not in Russia. With his
family, he thinks his expenditures would absorb,
and probably exceed, his salary:
has kept an accurate account of his expenses,
which for the year 1851, were Sl2,470,s6.
Hon. D. M. Barringer, writes from Madrid that
it is one of the most expensive cities in Europe to
live in and leaves to infer from the tone of his
letter, that he is rapidly losing money byhis resi-
dence there. -
There can be 40 doubt that pecuniarily the Of
fee OF Foreign Minister is losing game. A man
like Mr.. Abbott Lawrence may very well accept
such post, but all citizens of moderate means
will do better to stay at home, until the pay i'll

blind man named Ed~ ard Breaslin, arrived in this
city from ST. Louis During the trip, one of the
deck hands on the boat had inSinuated himself in-
to his acquaintance. In company with the old

concealed in belt worn next his person. On
Thursday last he purchased laudanum at Arm
strong's drug store, on the corner of Seventh and
Broadway, saying that he wished to use it on his
nose, which had been severely cut and was pain
full. This poison he mixed with whisky and treat
ed the old man literally as to quickly render him
stupid. Then he took the money and went to the
theater, where he displayed it quite pompouSly.
Yesterday morning the girl, who came from st.
Louis with BreasIin, appeared at the lower Station
House and told the officers that there was man
dying from the effects of poison on the corner of
Broadway and Seventh sis. When the officers
reached the place designated, they found the man
to be dead.

LUMBER REGION OF ALLEdHANY.--Th Allegheny
mountains, from the Pennsylvania boundary TO the
Virginia line, are crowded. with forests of white
pine, yellow pine, white oak, wild cherry, red oak,
chestnut and other valuable timber, The whole of
this section of country, BY the completion of the
canal to Cumberland, and the extension Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio, is bIo't
near to markets in which great quantities of lqm-
Der must, in very few years, be called for. The
cities of the District OF Columbia, and Baltimore, it
is easy to forsee, will, in the rapid improvements
now going on, require building materials that can
not be had in that region of country bordering on
the great highways between tide water and the
mountains.
1t SO happens that much of the lumber region is
held in large bodies of land that may be had, we
suppose, on reasonable terms by companies that
may be disposei to embark in what must certainly
be very profitable business. James Swan, Of Bal
timore holds we areinformed over thirty thousand
acres; Charles Oliver, ESQ., holds about forty thou
sand acres; Ex-Governor Francis Thomas holds a
bout forty thousand acres; and we suppose the
landed estate of John Hoye. Esq, deceased, is not
less extensive than any one of those we have men

DARING RoBBERrEs ON STEAMBoATs-CHLoRoFo
UsED.-We learn that passenger on the Belle
Key, while the boat was lying at New Orleans was
robbed of $4,000, his all. His room was entered
during the night, and he was robbed while asleep.
During the passage of the boat, and before she
reached Vicksburg, several passengers were robbed
of small amounts of money and articles of clothing
Tie steamer Martha Jewett during her upward
trip, about the same time, was infested by thieves
who had mixed among the cabin passengers, and
not a night passed without robbery, or an at
tempt to rob of the passengers or to break
their ronms.
The most astounding robbery was that of Mr.. W.
P. Murrell, on the Sth inst, on the Fanny Smith,
of four thousand dollars, in bank notes. On reti-
ring to his berth at night Mr. Morrell had the pre-
caution to lock both doors Of his state-room, and
to tie his money in belt around his waist next to
his skin. On waking in the morning, he perceived
a sitting odor in the room. He got up, and, on
examining the door, found twas broken OPEN

TheEApproaohing Celebration.


There has seldom occurred in the annals of our
city an event Of more Importance than the OPEN
ing of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which is
to be celebrated on the 18th and 18th OF this
month. For near quarter Of century the pro-
iect IF connecting the city of baltimore withithe
ohi6 River at Wheeling, has been claiming the
attention Of our citizens and the public, and now
rive are called upon to celebrate in few days the
Accomplishment of the great event, so important
in its bearing upon the great Commercial interests
of the entire Union. sf g.
As is ever the case in the projection of great OF
novel enterprises. the bear enumeration of the
project was at first received asthe wild and chimer-
ical enterprise of men who, if not crazy, were
certainly visionary. The Directors however,
knowing from the history of the past that they
were but reaping the common rewards usually be-
slowed under such circumstances, determined to
press forward, well knowing that success was the
only means which could ensure them an impartial
hearing before the grand commercial assize of the
country. Year after year they struggled on, diff
Guilty after difficulty vanished before the ygor and
cOnstancy of their efforts, until in the year 1858
they stand upon the banks of the Ohio, the frst
comers Of the band Of pioneers, who have for
years past been seeking to tap the mighty valley of
sAAS w SSS anu AAaW- 1S pLOuuCLS
of the Atlantic. May we not confidently hope that
this Company will reap the full reward CT their
iabors and that the city of Baltimore will realize
from this connection all that she can wish, and
even more than she expected.
In times past, controversies have arisen between
the company and this city, as to matters connec-
ted with the road. They have been settled all,
and We now can bury all feeling of difference
which the past may have engendered, and look to
the future and to it only and in it we can see but
one rational conclusion and that is the prospects
of our city, of Baltimore, and of this company, are
indissolubly connected by that chain which is
stronger than any other. the chain of mutual and
dependant interests. Let us in the future remem-
Der this and act accordingly, and above ALL let US
prepare to give those of the citizens of Baltimore
who may visit us on the11th, welcome worthy of
the occasion, of our city, and of the important and
intimate connection which this great improvement
must produce between our city and Baltimore.
