BALr1MonE, June IN, 1s5s

JOSHUA VANsANT, Esq,
Dear Sir.--By hint from Mr.. Smith, am
panied to lind that my omission 10 write you far
Their on the subject tout arrangement with Messrs
Forsyth q Hopkins, has probably caused you 10 be
thought dilatory by members of the City Iouncil.
1t escaped me, that your not being present at the
meeting OF the committee with Mr.. Calhoun call
ed for further statement from me.
The contract made conformity by tn: Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Gonna
g NY, and ourselves, with the Messrs. Forsyth and
company, has for its object, 10 attract over these
two railroads the transportation of goods bought in
Philadelphia or New York, and destined for pouits
West of Wheeling, Inch would otherwise 90 by
Pittsburgh Buffalo or Dunkirk and Cleveland, as
well us of products of the West intended for those
eastern markets, which would otherwise take the
said routes.
tits believed that very large portion of the bu-
SinesS of our road must, at the outset at least,
come from those Sources or be of that character;
and that to procute the share we ought to have OF
II, we must meet the Pennsylvania Road in Phila-
aueiphla aud offer our transportation on equal
terms; this strike us us an arion, and accordingly
the contract with Messrs. Forsyth d Co., was en-
tered into, by which that house are allowed a
draw back OF seven cents per 100 lbs. on West.
ward bound goods, and FIVE cents on those bound
Eastward, for their agency and effort, with their
numerous and heavy expenses of clerks, laborers
&C., for loading and unloading, advertising, drum-
ming, hauling cars in Philadelphia, drayage in
Philadelphia and Wheeling, &C., &c.
This drawback is to be taken from rates charged
blythe Pennsylvania Railroad Company on the
same kind of goods, and the balance goes to the
two railroad companies forming this line, to be.
shared in proportion to their relative length.
OF course, if the rate charged by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, taken as the governing
charge dis way, is not one-fourth greater than
like goods would pay from Baltimore. then occurs
what has been called discrimination against Bal
timore; and it has happened, in consequence of
the reductions made by the Pennsylvania Rail.
COmOany afsaIo
that road, and consequently over ouls. iape been
the same-in aJetc cases lower than from BATH
more. y s. ~ n
This we regard as a matter which, no policy of
ours will prevent; the Pennsylvania Railroad
COMPANY have declared, by their President, That
their rates shal be as low as ours, and we must
expect them to be so. ~ y
We have therefore judged, that tho interest of
the Company calls for the sacritice which is CONE
planned of "a saerifice Of of Bal.

ring June, 1853, $50 barrels.
The revenue for the month was:
s2o,61o 81

$lse,e57 81 800. G22 81 S2o61o &c
The Patriot adds: We had OH Monday n renort
of the receipts, which tie above official statement
SLOWS TO be mainly correct The receipts in June.
1852, were S1S3,S63 CT on the main stem, and
$50, IS2 % on the Washington branch, making an
aggregate OF Sl70 655 $3.50 that the increase last
month was S49, 1854 45, and this, too, notwith-
standing the great relative falling off Oh the
Washington branch, which, as we have stated,
was caused by Congress not being in session, and
also by the National Conventions holding their
sessions in this city about this time last year. which
drew crowds Of strlngers here.
The increase on the main srem is very large for
both passengers and freight. In June of 1852. the
receipts Cor passengers was S27,5l5 16-and this
too was large because Of the meeting of the Ma
iona! Conventior-and now it is S4S, 1855 Is.
showingan increase for passengers alone of $780,
S3997. What would it have been if the nayiea-
ton ofthe OHIO river had not been SO materially
lnterfered with by the want of water? BUTT is
large enough, aside from such bars, TO assure ev-
cry one that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
command of travel between the West and the
East which nothing can take away from it. And
SO with freight As compared with June last veor
the receipts from freight have gone up from S1os
S4s 81 to s14l, 500 3S-an increase of Ss5, 1853 7
and this, too, notwithstanding the almost total
suspension of the navigation ofthe upper ohi,.
So far, the trade of the Baltimore and Chic rail
road has gone far beyond what only year aga.
were deemed wild calculations, and there is moth
ing IN the future to authorize fear that it will not
even go on 10 exceed its present business.

they are allowed four mills per ton per mile, on
