BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENTS.
BALTIMORE AnriI Ia

BALTIMORE, April 1S-10P.M
There was some difficulty this afternoon at
the printing Office Of the American Daily
Times, in Holiday street 1t seems that Mr.
Baylor, editor and proprietor Of that Journal,
Ia exercising his indisputable prerogatiyes-
those rights guaranteed to every freeman
saw fit to discharge a number of printers en-
pOyed in his office, and absolve himself and
his paper from what he doubtless considered
arbitrary rules of the Typographical Associ-
alton. To this course no honest man could
object, and against which no honorable me-
chanic should murmur. He did right, with
every feature of justice on his side. 1t seems,
however, that some person or persons. Il forbear
mentioning namesD thought differently, and
put their evil, cowardly thoughts into practice.
by unlawfully, dishonorabIy, dishonesty in
t-rfering with the inalienable rights Of Mr.
Baylor-throwing his types into pi, and other
wise mutilating his premises, disarranging the
office arrangements, &C., in such manner as to
delay and interrupt the regular publication of
handed outrage Mr.. Baylor sustains eyery
characteristic Of a gentleman, and SO far as ap-
pears, has only offended in doing what is con
coded to be right. The record will show that
he came IN collision with one or two parties to
this lncendiary outrage, who got about what
they deserved. Ii man cannot manage and
control his own private business as best suits
himself, then indeed has society come to a
pretty pass, ana law rendered worthless. Such
offences merit unmitigated punishment, and
in this case may it be dealt out to the offenders.
l am told that Mr. Baylor has been held to
bail tor chastising party to this affair. The
Pu6Ac Ledger, q small morning journal
which was published by the jOurneymen EN-.
ployed in the Times office, has been suspended
for the time being. Whether it will be re-
sumed again or not is question of some
doubt
Quite an interesting wedding sacr ament was
presence of probably one thousand persons
Mr. Weld, an English gentleman led to the
hymenial altar Miss Sophia Reed, one of our
bellies, daughter of the late William George
Reed. The Rev. Archbishop Kendrick, assist
ed by other attendant priests, performed the
marriage ceremonies. There were four brides.
maids and four groOmsmen, all richly attired.
The whole scene presented a solemn, Joyous,
and imposing spectacle. The bridegroom has
been noticed by some Of our journals as an
English nobleman." This, I believe, is a
mistake, though he may be remotely connect
ed with nobility, at the Same time holding a
distant relationship with "Father Adam" At
present he is plain, but accomplished engi-
neer on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
highly polished gentleman, which is amply
sufficient for our unpretending republic. If
appearances indicate reality, one thing is GER
tain-both are now happy.
Another wedding is on on the taps, which,
in few days will take one more sweet roseats
bud from the galaxy Of maiden loneliness in
our city. Spring is coming and with it, as
usual, love and cunnubial c0nsumatious. The

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEORGETOWN, April 10, 1854

GEORGETOWN, April 10, 1854.
The latter part of yesterday and this morn
ing we have been favored with clear sky and
bright sun, which has caused the snow that
lay in many places from four to six inches
deep to disappear very rapidly. Business Of
all kinds, which for several days was suspend
ed, has revived, and this morning activity and
hustle seems to animate and pervade all
classes.
Another public meeting Of our citizens is
called at Forrest Hall for tonight, to discuss
the propriety Of electing delegates to reform
our city charter. If we understand the mean.
ing of the handful calling the meeting, none
of the old issues are to be discussed-simply
the two propositions, the election by the peO-
pie of delegates to form charter, and the
submitting OF the charter to the people for rat
ifcation, are the matters to be considered. We
have heard 50 much recently upon the subject
Of charter reform without any thing practical
being attained, that We begin to think it will
be nothing but a - tempest in teapot"
The steamer Columbia, from Baltimore due
here yesterday morning, has not yet arrived.
1t is supposed she was compelled to make har-
Dor during the heavy weather Of Sunday and
Monday. She is expected day.
81 The main shaft of our Cotton Factory was
wrung in too by force of the machinery, on
Monday; consequently it has been still ever
since and the large number of industrious ope-
ratives who are employed in it, idle. These
accidents to this establishment are serious
drawbacks to many worthy family. A new
shaft is expected this morning and by the af-
ternOon it is hoped that all will be again ready
for operation.
Some six or eight members of one of tho mil
itary companies of your city, paid us a sort of
flying visit yesterday morning, and we must
say that an American uniform looked much
better on them than they looked in it. From
their loose, staggering gait, We were led to con-
clude that they were not altogether strangers
to Lager Beer One Of them, not being. We
suppose, satisfied with the ordinary decorations
to his native suit, measured his length in a
mud hole on Water street to improve upon it.
We would advise them next time they put on
an American uniform, to confine their marches
to the streets.
Arrived-schooner L. Child, Sears, from
Boston, to John a. Grimes, and freight to the
District.
Sailed-schooner J. Truman, Grifing, for
Salem, Mass; schooner R. II. Wilson, Huise
for Boston.

80. Archbishop Hughes, it is said, will not
return to New York until the close of the pres

1.-The conductor of the New York Tribune
has become connected with James Gordon Ben
nett, In the vile trade of manufacturing lies
about the President Of the United States and
his friends. Extremes have met Satan and
his counterpart have formed . copartnsrship
The Satanic and Socialist press now sail down
the same polluted current freighted with the
same trash The last fabrication, purporting to
come from Washington to the Tribune, is a
statement giving to the Clerk of the House of
Representatives the enormous sum of 5000
900 Per annum independent Of Executive ia

this story, there are plenty of fools who will
believe it. We think We hazard nothing in
saying that Col. Forney will sell out for one
tenth Of the sum named Is the locun tenens

Judge Campbell, the Democratic nominee for
the Supreme Court 1t is generally thought
that Judge Conrad the Wing and Native nomi-

nominated VIM Badger, Esq, for city Comp

will make good officer; he was beaten by

parture for Norfolk, and I shall be happy to

The 18th of April, ITS, was 30 hot day
that many British soldiers, on their return
from " Concord fight, - fell down on the march,
quite overcome, and others lolled the tongue

are, on the same day, four degrees further
south, in the midst of a snow storm.

The Intelligeneer further contains very
interesting London and Paris correspon-
dence, the latter embracing translation
of Louis Napoleon's formal declaration
concerning the rights of neutrals during
the current war.
The Union, speaking " by authority"
evidently regrets that the Senate have
neither been able to sanction what the
President did in the Gadsden treaty, nor
to agree amcng themselves to what they
desire to have him do with reference to
our Mexican relations. In the following
words, the /" official" places the respon-
sibility of our future with Mexico where
it now legitimately belongs:
''He eomprehends fully the threatening
character of some of the questions involved be-
tween Mexico and our Government; he feels
sensibly the importance at this time of remoy-
ing all cause of estrangement between the two
Governments; he understands thoroughly our
rights as involved in the unadjustea questions
and whilst he is resol Fed to maintain them at
all hazards, he will spare no efforts, consistent
with the honor of our Government to avoid O
war If 30 direful calamity shall befall the
country, the responsibility will not rest Oh
him; but We will not yet despair of an amica a.
bic settlement of the questions which are now
exciting 80 much public attention, aud deem
1t not unreasonable to indulge the hops that
the recent action Of the Senate will NOS prove
final"
The Union further congratulates itself
over the fact that the reaction on the
Nebraska question has commenced at the
North, and argues earnestly that the
'real issue" involved is the right of
Popular sovereignty"
The Sentinel contains well-timed and
well-considered comments upon the free
dom of the press, superinduced by the re-
cent effort to arraign the ostensible editor
of the London Times for saying that a
certain wing of the House of Commons
was always in the market.
