BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, April I3-1

BALTIMORE, April 13-lOP.N.
The Great Southern Convention at Charles
ton, as would appear from the Geographic
foreshadowings, is likely to fall into the
hands OF politicians. Mr. Dawson, a we'll
known political aspirant, has been chosen its
presiding officer, whilst Senator Jones of Ten
nessee, another politician, with eye f xed upon
the Presidency, acts another prominent part.
What do such men know, and much less, what
do they care, about the great course of com
MERGE, beyond turning it to the account of
political ambition? If merchants and bust
ness men wish to effect any prominent object
and prominent ground, they must act them
selves, as practical men of business and not
entrust their deliberations to wiley politicians,
the best OF whom are absOlved in self. The
delegates, however, will have good feasting
and grand joli6cation Such seems to have
been about the sum and substance of similar
conventions, and will doubtless be SO with
this.
Farmers and others who come in from the
country, inform me that the recent cold wealth
er Killed all the apricOts, but the peaches, ap-
pies, and other fruits are safe. Vegetation of
every kind looks we'll, and the spring cron.
OF wheat and rye, promise most encourag ingly.
Some fresh shad and herring from the Poto-
mac, have reached our market The former
sold at Si!all 90; the latter at Sc per barrel
FISH VIII In all probability command high
price here throug hout the season. They are
in active request.
The INSPECTION laws have, to certain extent,
been abolished; but dealers must not suppose
that they can put off a bad article on our com.
munity. They now stand upon their intrinsic
merits The best brand will secure the best
prices and most ready sale.
We have but little news here of local char.
acter to-day worthy of note. You may find
some pick APPS in the papers RoDERIck.
