BALTIMORE AND PoToMAC RAILRoAD.--A
meeting of the directors of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, was held at Port Tobacco,
Md, on Friday last. The Plan nters' Advocate
says:
Maj. Trimble, the engineer ip-chief, was
present, and has been occ dpied the past week
or two in tour OF inspection along the pro-
posed route. We learn that he submitted de-
finite estimates of the work from the Pataps-
co to Popes Greek, from which the whole
cost is represented as no. exceeding ST 059, 600.
The route has been subGi vided by him in to five
sections, with Il view to giving out contracts for
its structure, and many interesting detailed
estimates were also submitted. A gentleman
who is interes ted in the letting the tracts
and who is said to be anxious to undertake
them, accompanied the engineer. The agent
represents the enterprise as showing steady
progress, and appears to consider that. with
The united and hearty cooperation of the
friends of the road, and of those who ought to
be its friends, the time is at hand when its nj
innate success can be assured beyond reasona
BILE doubt.

An Ordinance Nseded.-It has been the prae-
tice of free negroes in the country, for several
wears to send their children to this city and
have them hired out as slaves, and the conse-
quence has been that the city is overs tockea
ith that class of persons who have no right 10
remain here. The Mayor, if he felt disposed 50
TO do mi ghL have these creatures punished fol
being here without registers but he does no
choose to do So because he sees that they ars
not responsible for their situation, and ough
not to he made TO suffer for it,. II is 10 b.
hoped that the City Council, ct its next meet
ing will adopt an ordinance on the subject, ST
as TO punish the employer and the agent wh'
hires out the negro, aud thus break up prac
tce that is injurious in its tendencies, and il
violation of the spirit of our State laws.

Sunday last, from Chincha Island, reports as
follows
''When off Cape Horn, and going at the rate
of ten or eleven miles an hour, her bow was
crossed by a whale, estimated going at fifteen
miles an hour He was struck by the ship as
she was sinking in wave, and with his tail
he gave the ship a blow which shattered The

Col. J. LUCIUs DAvIs.-The subject of Col.
Davis command at Charlestown has been
the theme of comment. The following is
from the Independent Democrat, published at
Charlestown, and paper likely to know what
il is talking about:
Some outside prints have supposed that Col.
ID. has perhaps been sometimes unnecessarily
prompt and efficient in the call for aid but
they were not aware of the Information upon
which these calls have been based, and the re-
liability of the source from when ce it emanated
Neither do they understand how necessary it
is that, under the circums tances, Col. ID. should
keep his own counseIs even if wrong con-
struction may, for the time being, be placed
upon his promptness of action. We can assure
those of our contemporaries who seem to think
been unnecessarily alarmed that Information
from most reliable sources going to es Ia blish
the fact of another foray into our midst is in
the possession of Col. D., and that at no time
has he acted in a hasty or inconsidera'e e man
ner. If he had done less than he has, or acted
less promptly, he would be obnoxious to
charge of inefficieDcy; but as it is, he has done
nothing but what has been warranted by cir
cumstanees. He is every inch soldier, a man
of extraordinary energy, gentleman of high
social and genial qualities, and the man for any
emergency in which he may be placed. He has
the confidence of the military and our citizens.
and did necessity require. he would teach our
enemies lesson not to be forgotten.

GERRIT SMITH.-A correspondent OF the
Syracuse Journal says that previous to being

for most of this time quite deliriousi but tnink,
ing he might soon recover, nothing was said
about it out of the family, but getting no be-
ter, and perhaps worse some OF his most mt
mate friends were called in to see him. The
great theme of conversation was Harper's Fer
ry and the transactions connected herewith.
He recognized his friends, grasped them fran
tically by the hand, and told them they saw
him for the last time; that he was poor
wretch, not fit to live, that he had not friend
on earth or in heaven; that the next night he
should be in Baltimore and undergo the most
excruciating torments that 1t was possible for
hmmnn beings to infiict; that he had deeply

MINISTER WARD AND THE CHINESE EMPE-
RoR-Itis probable that the Chinese Emperor
did see the American Minis ter during his visit
to Pekin. Lieut. Habersharn, who was in Mr..
Wards suite, in a letter to the Philadelphia
Ledger, says
Finding it impossible to agree as to the cere.
mony of presen tation, or, in other words, find
ing that Mr.. Ward adhered strictly TO his
original offer, Kwei-liang finally ended the in
terview by consenting to the exchange of
treaties tcithout haring first seen the En-
peror. On the 4th, he said, Mr. Ward should
be informed of the day; and in the meantime
he wished him all manner of happiness and
success As they were leaving Seth also be-
came amiable, and took Mr.. Martin. the in ter
prefer, aside, to tell him that they must not
feel offended at the hauteur of their manner al
their first meeting, as there higher persons
than themsstres present, for whose express BEN
eft it had been indulged in. This confession
but served to strengthen our previous opinion
as to the fact of the Emperor having been a
witness to the interview. II would nor have
done to let him see his Ministers treating
foreigners with considerate politeness.

Employing Free Negroes Our readers might
save themselves i vast deal of annoyance
when hiring free negroes, if they would first
take the trouble to demand their reg teIs and
then see that they were obtained i'll fhe town
or county where they were applying Tor en-
ployment. BY the laws of the State no per-
has not a register of his freedom, and no tree
nogro has a right TO change his residence fro n
one county or corporation 10 another, without
first obtaining permission from the county or
corporation court so to do. These laws were
passed by the Legislature to protect slave pro-
perty and to prevent the emigration Of free
negroes, and it is he duty OF every good citi-
zen TO see that they are faithfully carried out.
The police, we know, have been striving to rid
Richmond of struggling free negroes for years,
bur they need never hope to succeed until pri-
vate citizens do their duty to the State by COM
plying with her laws.
