Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Western Trade.

western Trade.
From a statement in the Baltimore Pa
triot, we learn that an immense amount
of Western produce is now coming East.
During the three days, ending Friday
morning, 1900 tons of freight, destined
for Baltimore and the East, were landed
at PaIkersburg, and telegram from that
point, received in Baltimore on Saturday,
stated that the steamers Cremona, Balti-
more, Silver Star and Liberty reached
| there the previous night, loaded to their
utmost apacity-from 700 to 1000 tons
each-with freight for the East. The
Western rivers are in the best possible
condition for steamboat navigation, there
being 90 feet of water in the channel at
Wheeling on Friday.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad pro-
fits largely by this great rush Of spring
freight from the West to the Atlantic.
The receipts of this road during the
month of March last year were upwards
of $490.000-bymuch the largest sum
received in any one month during the
year. Notwithstanding the pressure OF
spring transportation has come some two
weeks later this year than last. the cur
rent month has been very busy one
with the road, and the Company's ex-
tensive equipment and great motive
power are taxed to there utmost capacity
to accommodate the vast quantities Of
freight daily accumulating at Parkers-
burg and Wheeling. This great and
sudden increase in the freight destined to
Baltimore has obliged the Company to
run freight trains on the Sabbath, and it
was hoped that by using great exertions
Sunday, the depots at the two Wes-
fern ternlini nninht be materiallr. ro,,or
ed, SO that produce and merchandise ar
irving thereafter might be forwarded with |
promptness.
The article in the Patriot also notes |
the fact that whilst this immense amount |
of produce is finding its way to market |
over this great national highway, the
amount of Western bound freight is stea-
Oily increasing, and that a large number
qfthe freight trains for the Vest go out
fully loaded.
This latter statement commends itself |
to the attention of the bust
ness men of Norfolk-nay, to every citi-
zen DESTROYS of 50 profting by they're
cedents before us as to advance the
substantial interests of our City. Er-
change is the great law and instrument
of Commerce. Imagine now, the mag
nifcent prosperity which would ac-
crue to Notwithstanding her with
more than the power of Aladdin's
wondrous lamp, to mighty and splen-
did mart-did we possess somo great line
of communication with the West like
that which Baltimore enjoys Cannot
some such conduit of trade be devised =?
Is it practicable ? These are the qucs-
tons it is for us at last to answer.

Lincoln on Negro Catching.

Lovejoy prides himself on being the chief
engineer Of the Underground Raj road, and
boasts of his feats in stealing and running
of southern slaves. Lincoln is now running
on the same ticket with Lovej,y, and to
show what beautiful pair they make. it is
only necessary to refer to "spot" in Lin
coins by no means spotless career a few
years ago as q member Of Congress. Lin
coin then introduced bill in the House to
purchase all the slaves in the District of Co.
Iumbia by appropriation from the national
treasury, and in the same bill inserted this
clause
"SEc 5. That the municipal authorities
Of Washington and Georgetown, within
their respective jurisdictions, are hereby en-
EeueYed and REQUIRED to provide ACTIVE and
ErvIcIzSr means to ARREST AND DELL
YER up to THEIR OWNERS ALL FUGITIVE

The same principle that would make it
right to turn the Mayors of Washington and
Georgetown into slave catchers, would make
it right to turn the Mayors of Ottawa. La

il is still shown that there was nothing in
the act against the assumption, while there
were all his mos, solemn pledges in favor OF
it, that, should the convention under the
