BALTIMORE, February 7, 1854.
l observe that my letter again failed to reach
you in time. There must have been some in
excusable blunder.
Your correspondent B.. writing from this
city, in his letter abiding to changes in the
mechanical and editorial departments of the
Baltimore Patriot, makes use Of some remarks
called for. He intimates that Mr. Weller
would not ''stoOp to conquer referring, of
course, to the difficulty that existed some years
ago between him and Mr. S. Now have the
pleasure of knowing Mr.. Shriver well and am
prepared to say that MIR Weller, nor no ether
honorable gentleman, however high in Office,
would be STOPPING to conquer in a measure
ment of lances with him. He stands pre- emf
nently elevated in every attribute of honor
with courage true and sure as the magnet to
the pole; and in the matter alluded to- came
out, as all know who remember the circum-
stance, upon platform fully equal with his
antagonist. Mr.. :. may be an eX-clerk-that
Is no novelty. 1t is true that the Baltimore
Patriot has absolved itself from further con-
ncc;ion with the Typographical Society, and
IN SO doing, re-instated its former foreman at
the printing department, Mr. John n. Milling
ton, who served period of over twenty years
in the office. The Patriot, am told is largely
increasing i'll circulation and patronage. 1t is
one amongst the Oldest and best evening jour
nails in the country. Mr. McJilton its present
editor and proprietor, is gentleman thorough
ly qualified for the position which he fills As
liberal publishers, therefore, in having tangi-
bic evidence of the Stars unprecedented sue
cess, you must also rejoice at the good fortune
Of your neighbors.
The new and beautiful steamer Tennessee
just completed for the Baltimore and Southern
Steampacket Company, to run with the Pal
mettO between this city and Charleston, = c.,
made short trial trip to-day. She went down
some distance below Sellers Point There
were about eighty persons aboard. The ex-
pertinent proved eminently successful She
made fourteen miles in ffty-fve minutes
agains; head wind, with only ten inches of
steam. The working of her machinery was
admirable, and admired by all on board
1t is fact entirely independent of fiction
that thu Evening Star is gaining many readers
and friends in our city. Persons are inquiring
for it in all directions All that is wanted to
gain for it a very wide circulation, is prompt
ness in the carriers They must serve it in the
evening, as soon after its arrival as possible.
Captain Low, of the barque Kilby, is still in
our city, sojOurning at Barnum's. Many per.
sons have extended to him their hearty con-
CALCULATIONS. He gets $500 of the fund raised
here and Captain Creighton 81 600 The resi-
due $500 goes to the Captain o: tho ship An
tarctic. RODERICK.
