is an express exception in the Sinking Fund act,
which exception applies to these stocks, as having
been otherwise appropriately" and in the third
place, the act mentions in SO many words the North
Carolina and the Raleigh and CASTOR Roads, and it
is not to be presumed that the Legislature would
have mentioned these two Companies, and then have
included such important Companies as the Whining
ton and Weldon and Wilmington and Manchester
under the general head Of 'all other Railroads. built
or being huilt.' But, says the Registers cores
dent THE construction" assigning the dividends on
the stock in these Roads to the Sinking Fund, and
taking them from the Common School fund, "caa-
not be avuided"-and he adds, there is nothing in
the context which can impose the words sense
restrictive Of their natural meaning" We have al
ready shown that there is in the context that which
most clearly and completely restricts the words re.
ferred to, to wit, the expression, mot otherwise APP
prated" But beyond this. it can hardly he suppos-
cd that the ''ratura meaning thus given to the
words could consist with provision assigning the
dividends Of stock to a new fund, while the "prop
erty"-,hc stocks" from which these dividends are
derived, were still vested in" corporation mansg
ing an old fund. The "natural" and ohvious course
woud have been to divest the property, and transfer
that, carrying with it its dividends 10 the Sinking
Fund
We think it clear therefore, that the Registers
correspondent is mistaken; and as are bound to
believe that he desires to deal only in facts, and
aims at the TRUTH without regard to political rrcju-
dice bias, we may expect him to notice and cor
rect this mistake in his next number.

ST.. MARY's COUNTY AFFAIRs.-The fol-
lowing is a communication from Charlotte
Hall, dated 28th ult, to the Baltimore
Sun: $t
The prospect for fruit and crops in this
section is not quite so discouraging as was
at one time believed. The influence ola few
days of warm and genial weather has been
truly wonderful, and seems to have been not
less so upon the planter than his plants.
The Democratic party presents the not
unusual picture of a s'house divided against
itself" We have convention men and anti
convention men, mass meeting men and anti
mass meeting. Two of the aspirants for the
State Senate believing, suppose, this to be
best calculated to harmonise the discordant
elements, have determined to submit their
claims to but one convention, and that one
to be convention of people to assemble
in November next around the ballot-box. :"
Compromise after compromise has been pro-
posed, and it has been at last decided that
the adjustment Of difficulties shall be left to
a general meeting of all the citizens of the
county, to be held at Leonardtown, on the
second Tuesday in June next. This meet
ing is to determine whether the party shall
be organised by district meetings or mass
meeting, but the call states in effect that no
matter what the decision of the meeting may
be, whether for or against district meetings,
the parties, or rather factions, have the
privilege of Withdrawing and resuming their
original position.
Preparations are being made for the erec-
ton Of new and improved building for the
academy in this place, which is at present
under most excellent regime, and in very
hourishing condition. The bricks are being
manufactured on the spot by Mr.. Chas. e.
Gray, an enterprising citizen of Baltimore,
and the building contract has been taken by
Messrs. Spedden & Holland, also of your
city, the whole under the supervision of
Messrs. Lind & Murdoch, architects, Balti-
more. Its hoped that the building will be
complated in time for the annual emamina-
ton and exhibition of the school, which takes
place the last Of July, and which draws
much larger concourse of persons from the
vicinity and neighboring counties than the
present building can comfortably accommo-
date. Rus.

It will be seen that the end of Gen. Wal
ker's fllibuster rule in Nicaragua is at last
reached. Himself and staff entered into a
capitulation on the LIST of May with the COM
mander of one of our vessels Of war, the
Costa Ricans not being recognized in the
articles of capitulation. Tie general and
his officers, with 260 men, were brought
off safely, doubtless glad enough to escape
from their unenviable position by taking
shelter under the "stars and stripes. p
They have arrived at New Orleans, perhaps
somewhat wiser than when they left the
shores of the United States.

THE WAY-MA1L SoUrH.-The people of
Fredericksburg, and other portions of the
old Southern mail route, who have been
complaining for nearly two years past in re-
gard to the inconvenience sustained by them
in the supply of mail matter, have at last
found relief, the steamboat line to Aqua
Creek and the Richmond and Fredericks-
burg Railroad having agreed to carry
the way-mail between Washington city and
Richmond twice day. =
