Law-snd.order Public Meeting in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Sept. S.-The town meeting,
called by two thousand merchants, mechan-
les and business and professional men of
Baltimore, assembled at o'clock in Monu-
ment Square, to deliberate and devise means
for rescuing the city from its present disor-
ganized condition, and restoring the supre-
macy of law and order. The vast square
was densely packed, and all the avenues
leading thereto thronged by masses of the
most orderly, respectable, and influential
citizens.
The meeting was organized, on motion of
Charles d. Kinds, by calling to the chair
VIM. Woodward, of the well-known firm of
Woodward & Company.
| The preamble and resolutions set forth in
clear and emphatic language the social
and political evils which exist, condemn
club rule, and propose vigorous and etfec-
tive measures to insure Il fair expression OF
the sentiments of the public at the ensuing
election, by protecting the ballot-box and
placing in nomination honest, capable, and
fearless men, in opposition to the nominees of
political clubs.
The resolutions also provide for the APP
pointmcnt of committee TO call on the
men as judges at the next election, and the
appointment of special police force to keep
the polls clear to legal voters. They en-
phatically disavow party predictions in
this movement, and empower 4 special COM
mttce to nominate, irrespective of party,
the most respectable and reliable citizens for
officers shortly to be elected.
The meeting was addressed by VIM.
George Brown, esq, a distinguished mem-
Der of the Baltimore bar: Mr. James Hodges,
merchant, of the firm of Hodges & Brothers,
and Gco. NJ. Gill, esq. Their speeches were
received with shouts of approval.
During the proceedings several efforts at
interruption were made by members of the
rowdy gangs. but those were promptly sup
pressed After the adjournment of the
meeting body of row'lies calling themselves
regulators" etc, rushed upon the stand
One of them attempted a haranguc. The po-
lice at once arrested the ringleaders, some
fifteen in number, who were taken to the
lookup amid loud plaudits of the people
and the waving Of handkercheiS by the Ia
dies who crowded the windows of the hotels
and private residences in the vicinity.

The Trade Of Virginia.

A petition to the Legislature of Va, by
citizens Of Fauquier County, relative to the
trade Of the State, is published in the War.
rcnton Wing. This petition complains of
the fact that the exchange Of their commodi-
ties sis not made through the cheap and nat
ural channels of a direct trade, but through
the intermediate agency Of the Northern cit
les, where, after being deposited, their pro-
ductions are again shipped, sometimes under
altered forms, to foreign ports" by which
there is IAN accumulation Of unnecessary
cost, consisting Of freight and charges. which
operates as commercial tribute, levied by
the Northern cities, upon the trade of this
Commonwealth"
That they may exemplify the nature. and
more clearly explain the extent Of this mighty
grievance, the Petitioners select single ar
ticlc from among the exports thus burthened
with the Northern tributc-wheat.
"The difference in the price of this COM
modify in the city of Alexandria, the market
of sale for the region of country in which your
Petitioners reside, and the price in New York
city, the great market of export, is at the
present hour something over fifteen cents per
bushel.
If there was direct commercial inter-
course between Alexandria and the markets
of Western Europe; if by that means they
were relieved of the expensive agency of New
York city, your Petitioners could sell as high
and buy us cheap in the markets of Alexan-
dria, as the New York farmer buys and sells
in the markets of New York city
Your Petitioners invite the attention of
your Honorable Body to the following esti-
mate Of the aggregate charge ON the wheat
producers of Fauquier and the neighboring
counties, trading to Alexandria, growing out
of the grievance which they herein set forth
based upon the statements Of the last federal
census:

The Philadelphia North American, says,
Certain disturbances are digni6ed with the
designation political" which have not the
slightest right to such title. If beer or
whiskey drinking fellows get their blood upto
fever heat, they will find some prete1t for
the manifestation of their evil propensties.
Politics may be the pretext, or even religion;
but the true name for nearly all the distur-
Dances would be whiskey riots. Perfectly
sober men. discussing any question, seldom
come to blows about It. and if the bottle imp
could be effectually laid, we should find fury
of all sorts subsiding. Dreadful accidents
would become rare, and not only would the
crime and casualty record diminish. but
nearly all the offences against good morals
and manners would become less inturpitude
and fewe- in number.

4 RAILROAD WEpDINC.-On Saturday eve
ming, the passengers on the train known as
the "Chautauque Express" of the Lake Shore
Railroad, witnessed rather novel incident,
no less than Il wedding. A party got on the
cars at Dunkirk, including some who had
been invited by the conductor, Mr.. llaight,
to witness the performance of the ceremony.
The bride, if not fair was certainly fat, and
considerably past forty. whilst the groom
was older, if not wiser, than the bride. The
train was put in motion, the manly groom
and his blushing bride took their places, and
the Rev. Mr.. Edison, Of Duukirk, soon made
them man and wife, literally at the rate Of
twenty miles An hour. The bell was rung.
the train stopped, to allow the reverend gen
tleman and invited guests from Dunkrk to
get If and walk back To the depot. and then
sped N its way again. The ncwly-married
couple got off at Salem, the first station above
Dunkirk, apparently well satisfied with their
hasty wedding and short brdul tour, As well
as with themselves and all on board. We
did not learn whether the within of being
married son train" was to he attributed to
tho bridegroom or to the buxom BRIDE
Buf;iio Express.

ton, and after CURLY disposing of Wise,

Hunter combines more than any other one,
those positive and negative qualities which
the Southern Democracy need to secure all
they want during the next four years, with
out driving over to the Opposition the great
body of the Northern Section OF the party.
Nevertheless the Tribune admits that:-"Ihe

We hope the press throughout the coun-
try will support the Post Master General in
his recent decision against the legality of
franks" signed by authorized agents" of
Members Of Congress. The country suffers
enough already, from the abuse of the frank
ing privilege, without being subjected to the
additional outrage which is now attempted
to be perpetrated. The excuse lis, that the
custom has all along been permitted. That
is totally immaterial. Let the custom be

Der himself. But, We are in favor Of cut

SALT LAEE-Mr Greeley, in one of his
letters to the Tribune from Utah, gives the
following concerning this remarkable body
of water:-"Ihat this lake should be salt, is
no anomaly. All large bodies of water into
which streams discharge themselves, while
they have severally no outlet, are or should be
salt If one such is fresh, that is an anoma-
ly indeed. Lake Utah probably receives as
much saline matter rs Salt Lake; but she
discharges it through tho Jordan and remains
herself fresh, while Salt Lake, having no is
sue save by evaporation, is probably the salt
est body of water on earth. The ocean is
comparatively fresh; even the Mediterran-
can at Lcghorn is not half so salt. am told
that three barrels of this water yield 4 bar
rel of salt; that seems rather strong, yet It's
intense sadness, no one who has not had itln
his eyes, his mouth his nostrIls, can realize.
You can no more sink in it than i'll clay
bank, but Il very little of it in your lungs
would suffice to strange you. You make
your way in from hot, rocky beach, over 4
chaos of volcanic basalt that is trying to the
feet; but at depth of yard or more, you
have fine sandy bottom, and here the bath
ing is delightful.
The water is of n light green color for ten
or twenty rods then deeply, darkly, beautl-
fully blue" No fish can live in it; no frog
abides it; few birds are ever seen dipping into
it."

There has lately been u change of the
Cabinet in Austria. and the question is, does
that change indicate that there will be any
change in the principles on which the govern
ment is to be administered, in its domestic pol
icy, or in the condition Of the people! That
is yet to be seen. We shall believe it when
the fact is manifest. 1t may be mentioned
that the Emperor of Russia, with more
power over his empire, than the Emperor
of Austria possesses, does not hesitate to
march boldly on, in the career of ameliora-
ton and improvement. Both of these mon
archs are comparatively young men--and
they might both prove to be benetac tors of
the people, if they so chose, without the fear
or danger of overturning their thrones.
