10 OUR Maryland & Virginia
Friends.
ENTIRE PRODUCT OF TWO FACTORIES.

WE have the ENTIRE PRODUCT OF TWO
w VIRGINIA FACTORIES that are sent
to this region of country. They make eXclu-
sively TO our order, and with an eye expressly
to the wants of our customers, the most Sape-
rior Grey and Drab PULLED CLOTHS, Coun-
try Flannels, wide plaid, and the "Country
straight striped Linseys," that are produced in
the United States.
The pick of their whole product is sent to
us; the inferior and rejected lots arc sent to the
Northern commission merchants.
The goods we offer are regarded by compe-
tent judges who have purchased of us for years
past rs vastly supero: TO anything produced
in this part of the world
The factories arc located in Western Virgil
MIA, where wool and labor are cheap, and are
literally employed in their production
The immense lots OF all superior fabrics for
servants wear that annually pass through our
hands enables us to offer really the most supe-
rior goods produced at about the same prices
usually charged for the inferior grades.
Farmers and planters who clothe their SER
wants well, will find our stock Of goods adapt
ed for the. purpose the largest in the District.
In addition, our stock will be found most
ample and complete in all departments of all
| first-cass European and American Fancy and
| Staple Dry Goods.
| The heavy Wooons for servants will be in
store by the 18th of August, 1853, and We
most candidly suggest that it will be best for
our customers TO make their selections early, as
it is Of frequent occurrence that our supply is
not more than half equal TO the demand.
| We would also name, in this connection, that
we are the largest operators in all kinds oil
Blankets in our market, especially White and
Grey Blankets, Of superior quality and at low
prices, for servants.
One price only, marked in plain figures, and
no salesman in the house permitted to ask OF
take inrthing over or under the marked price
hence, no purchaser is deceived.
Zs5- We are not opening any new accounts
mr. All old bills presented monthly foi
prymont in cash consequently we arc enabled
thereby to continue our low scale Of cash prices
Strangers and all others most cordially soil
cited to examine our stock, if but for their owl
qualification. They will at least learn TIN
lowest cash prices.
Our Northern and Eastern correspondent
send us new supplies daily. We are therefor
presenting at all times the largest and mos
comprehensive stock OF first-class staples, witt
all attractive novelties that bear the impress G
substantial mort.

they would sink me. then hove to and
they came alongside, and about ten of
the men came on board, armed to the

AGGREssIoNs ON OUR COMMERCE.. Our
exchanges are full of indignant comments
on the recent interference of British
cruisers with the merchant vessels of the
United States. We are not surprised at
this; for such an interference is at war
alike with our national honor and our
commercial interests. The position Of
this government upon the whole question
OF the right of search or visitation was
fully stated in the letter of Gen. Cass
to Lord Napier, which was communica-
ted to Congress few weeks ago, and
this position, we feel sure, will be main
tanned, whenever necessary, by the whole
power of the country. We cannot be-
lieve that Great Britain has deliberately
issued instructions to her naval com
manders, in contravention of it, and we
earnestly hope that the wrongs COM
planned Of may be promptly disavowed
by the British government, and their
perpetrators suitably punished. What
is of even more Importance than this, we
look to see such measures taken by her
Majcsty's authorities as will prevent sim
liar proceedings in the future. Nothing
is better calculated to awaken hostile
recolloctions in this country against Eng
land than any attempt on the part Of her
Majesty's ships-of-war to interrupt the
free commerce of the United States upon
the high seas. There is scarcely any
injury either which the people of this
country would resent more quickly or
more unitedly than a deliberate insult
by foreign nation to the "stars and
stripes" 1t will be seen that suitable
measures have been adopted by the Pres.
ident to meet the difficulties complained
Of. Our minister in London has beer
directed to make the proper representa-.
tons and demand Cor them reparation t.
the British government, and our ships
of-war in the Gulf have been ordered tc
render full protection to our merchan
vessels in that quarter.

Re- The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer
of the 18th instant says the prospects for
an immense crop of wheat are excellent
all over the West, whilst oats, corn,
grass, and in most sections fruit, are
looking finely. There arc complaints
from some sections, however, of a great
excess Of rain, which has so soaked the
earth as to greatly retard farming ope-
rations and cndangcr the crops.

AN IMPORTANT VoTE.-it is stated
that the committee on foreign relations,
in the Senate, had full meeting on
Tuesday, and considered the proposition
from Mr. Slidell to abrogate that clause
of the Ashburton treaty which requires
a naval force to be maintained on the
coast of Africa. After some discussion
a formal division was taken with the fol-
lowing result: Yeas-Mason, Slidell
and Polk. Nays--Foot. Crittcndcn,
Douglas, and Seward. Thus the move
ment was defeated by one majority.

Eg- The following extract from the
Baltimore Exchange, of Thursday morn
ing last, is "sly hit" at the Mayor of
that city. Speaking of tho unusually
quiet and orderly election, it says:
"We do not know whether we are to
ascribe tho perfect tranquility, and alb
sence of all disorder, which distinguished
yesterday from every other clection-day
which has occurred during the municipal
administration of our present excellent
and most exemplary Chief Magistrate,
to the very efficient measures taken by
His Honor to preserve the public peace,
or to the popular apathy upon the sub
ect of the election We wish to give
credit where credit is due. We are
charitably inclined, and are rather dis
posed to refrain from any nice investiga-
ton Of this delicate question. We will
take for granted that the peace of the
city was entirely owing to the admirable
arrangements of the MAYOR, his judi
cious disposition of the police force, and
his known determination to secure to
every citizen the free and undisputed ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage. We can
only regret, therefore, that similar sue
cess should not have attended His Hon
or's laudablc efforts to the same end,
during the elections last fall, and that so
small proportion of our fellow-citizcns
should have availed themselves yestcr-
day of the rare opportunity, so gracious
ly afforded, and of so unfrequent occur
renee in these turbulent times, of voting
without peril either of life or limb. We
trust that the lesson will not be lost upon
the community, and that having thus
demonstrated to the world the possibility
of there being peaccablc election in the
city of Baltimore, VIC will not dcgene.
rate shortly into the state of barbarism
from which We yesterday emerged. We
will not be too sanguiIe, but we really
begin to hope that if the MAYOR will only
adopt the same efficient measures at the
elections next fall, that he took yester
day, that provided the contest then shall
excite no more interest than did the
question Of Constitutional Convention
the lists Of "killed and wounded vii
not be more than half as long as they
were last October ana November, ant
the painful necessity of putting dowr
"thc Infatuated Irish of the Eight
Ward" at the point Of the bayonct, b,
most effectually obviated."

Eg We have had another week 0,

Gz3- We have had another week Of
rainy weather, arresting all farming opc-
rations. Many have not finished plan
ting their corn, and now despair of get
ting in as much as they intended. The
growing wheat looks remarkably fine,
and promises an abundant harvest. Oats
also look well and VIC have never seen,
at this season of the year, better pros
pect for a crop Of hay.
