The Baltimore Exchange, speaking of the
late famous Correspondence" between Sem
stors Douglas and Fitch, says
Each party appears to be perfectly salts
fed" and so doubtless is the public. But
who has apologized or retracted-or whether
there has been any apology or retraaction at
all--or whether explanations having been
made, such explanations were subsequently
wthdrawn-are questions that we confess
ourselves wholly unable to answer. The
whole affair appears to us to be puerile in the
highest degree iiscreditable to both parties
in its inception, and equally inglorious in its
termination. If anything can serve to bring
the practice of demanding personal satlsfac-
ton for personal affronts into utter disre-
pu,e among sensible people, it is the ridicule
east upon it by such farcical proceedings as
that in which Mcssrs. Douglas and Fitch have
jus, figured soprominently before the nation"

New York DRY Goods Trade.

A letter from New York ays:-"There has been
an increased activity in the dry goods trade the
past week. and prices for nearly all descriptions OF
cotton goods show further advance, varying from
4, /. and cent n yard. The principal purchases
are still being made by the southern and south
western merchants. and it is now generally conced-
oil that the present spring trade has taken more
active start than known for number Of years, and
every thing thus far looks very satisfactory to
profitable business. Our city jobbers are slso pur-
chasing to moderate extent. as also are the cloth
iers, the latter are buying quite freely oil go'ds
suitable to their present wants and in most nstan-
ces are compelled to pay slight advance over the
prices current last week.

Tur Coal TRADE-IMPoRTANT TO ALEX
,yDRI, AND THE Coal INTERESTS.-We have
learned. with much surprise and regret, that
there is a movement in progress to compel
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to
raise the tolls upon coal transported upon
that work, to rate which will equalize the
cost of carriage to the cost upon the baitl-
more and Ohio Railroad-in other words, to
levy an almost prohibitory tax upon canal
TRANSFORMATION, for the benefit of the city of
Baltimore and its Railroad, regardless OF the
interests of the coal region, and OF Nil par
t;es concerned in the coal trade. We trust
this is not true, but have our fears. We can
only say that hitherto the liberality OF the
State Of Virginia towards Maryland works
and interests, has been rewarded by nothing
Of a similar character, on the part OF that
State and il will bc matter for serious con-
siderotion and action, we believe, ut the next
session of the Legislature, whether Virginia
interests do not call for some efficient coun-
tervailng legislation. If the unjust mea-
sure referred to be carried out the subject,
will, we are informed be at once laid before
the Governor of this State. whose wcll-known
zeal and energy will, at once, be brought to
bear. we doubt not, for the protection OF the
immense amounts which have been invested,
here and elsewhere. in the coal trade of the
Canal.
