ANOTHER BRITIsH OUTRAGE Capt.
Crowell, of the ship John and Albert,
which arrived at New Orleans on the
23d instant, reports that on the 18th
instant, when between Florida and Gu
ba, his vessel, with the American flag
flying, was fred into five times by a
British war-steamer The shot he ale
ges passed quito close to the vessel, and
over her, and she was compelled to heave
20, without having time to take in the
canvass of the ship, so as to save the
spare, although it was blowing very
heavily at the time, and she had every
thing before the wind. The last shot
was fred after she had come to the wind
passed just overhead, and was evident
ly intended to dismast her. She was
then boarded from the steamer, and
Capt. Crowell was required to show his
papers. Shortly after the British officer
had left, United States steam-frigate
came to the rescue.

A PoL1rIoAI RAILROAD COMPANY

A PoLITIoAL RAILROAD COMPANY
We copy from tho Baltimore Sun, of
Friday last the following edifying para
graph touching the proceedings Of the
directory of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company. by which it will appear
how rapidly that corporation is being
converted into Know nothing partizan
clique, and machine to do the dirty
work of party:
cat meeting of the directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on We'd
nesday, among the other appointments
made and confirmed were those of S. G.
Mearis and VIM. Somers, as agents of
the company at the Point of Rocks, and
Buckeystown, Nd, respectively. There
was also one appointment not made, or
rather which was rejected, and which, as
an episode in the history of railroad
management, affords an indication of the
low standard of petty politics and selfish
partizanship prevailing in our midst. It
appears that Mr.. Thomas S. Lee had
some time ago been appointed agent of
the company at Knoxville, Frederick
county, by DR.. Woodside, the late mas
ter Of transportation, in place of the
previous incumbent, and under the ap-
pointment Mr.. Lee had engaged in the
erection of certain necessary buildings,
as warehouse, &c., at the station re-
ferred to. disappointment came before
the board for confirmation, with the favor
of nomination by the President, as is
usual for such posts, but was rejected, as
We learn, and singular as it may appear,
by party vote of the public directors
representing the State and city. The
vote in this case stood fifteen to fourteen.
"This is said to be tho first instance
in the history of the road that nomina-
ton in any specific department of the
road, thus made by the head of that de-
partment in view of his responsibilities
in the conduct of his general duties and
the efficiency and character of those at
tached TO his service, that has ever been
rejected by the board. 1t has generally
been considered that the head of de-
partment was the best qualified to Judge,
by the knowledge Of the circumstances
and the peculiar service, Of the fitness Of
the appointments in that connection, and
unless some special facts or causes could
be assigned, showing tho contrary, il
was not thought proper to interfere. -
But new and pernicious standard o!
qualification is now deemed desirable, tc
the baleful influence of which, it is evil
dent, there is persistent effort on the
part of some whose calibre is just equal
thereto, to make the great interest in
volved in our public works subservicnt.
Subsequently, on "Wednesday, when q
nomination for another post was made,
one Of the Oldest and most experienced
members of the board made decidedly
good hit, in robuke Of the disgusting in.
fuence referred to, by ironically express
ing a desire that the said nomination
should be referred to committee to in
quire into the politics and religion Of thu
nominee"

ENTIRE PRODUCT OF TWO FACTORIES

VXTE 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 supe-
rior Grey and Drab PULLED CLOTHS, Conn-
try Flannels, wide plaid, and the Country
straight-striped Linseys," that arc produced in
| the United States.
| The "piclx" of their whole product Is sent 10
US the inferior and rejected lots are sent TO the
| Northern commission merchants.
| The goods we offer are regarded by compe-
tent judges who have purchased Of us for years
past as vastly superio. TO anything produced
| in this part Of the world.
The factories are 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 supc-
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-class European and American Fancy and
Staple Dry Goods.
The heavy Woolens for servants will be in
store by the 18th Of August, 1868, and we
most candidly suggest that IL win 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 arc tho largest operators in all kinds Of
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 iarthing over or under the marked price;
hence, no purchaser il deceived.
.Eo- We are not opening any new accounts.
.Esc- All old bills presented monthly for
pryment In cash consequently VIC arc enabled
thereby TO continue our low scale Of cash prices
Strangers and all others most cordially soli-
cited TO examine our stock, II but for their own
qualification. ,They viii At least learn the
lowest cash prices.
Our Northern and Eastern correspondent
send us new supplies daily. We are therefore
presenting ut all times the largest and mos
comprehensive stock OF Grst-class staples, will
all attractive novelties that bear the impress o
substantial merit.

IMPORTANT RUMoR.-A report was cur
rent in New York on-Saturday, that the
British Minister at Washington has char
tered and despatched vessel from that
port, instructing the British admiral on
the West India station to abstain entirely
from interfering with American vessels
until he receives further advices from his
Government. Any vessel SO employed
would Of course be steamer. But no
steamer has left the port Of New York
for that destination. Lord Napier, says

charitable and religious purposes is used
up in "office-expences," in paying the

every hundred dollars donated for the
