BALTIMORE.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1860

We have already made such general comments
upon Mr.. GARRETT's communication 10 the Kali
road Board as we deemed necessary; and we must
now be permitted again to call the attention of
our readers TO the specific charges preferred by US
apaiust the President and some of the other Off
GERS of that Company. We do not intend to be
led away from the real ISSUE in this controversy,
by being drawn into discussion touching the
proprety or improperly, the legality or illegality
of the Extra Dividend. 1t is now nearly four
years since that financial measure was set on foot
and all who are capable of understanding the
question, or who care to do so, have long ago ar
rived at very definite opinions concerning the
amount of "surplus net profits earned by the
Company between the years 1882 and 1856, and
loaned to the latter by the stockholders Nor will
we pause to consider the position of the parties TO
the injunction suits now pending, or the motives
which impel them to persist in litigation, for we
have no knowledge of these persons their pur
poses and are as Indifferent about their projects
as we about the state of the stock market. The
point TO which we will confne ourselves is that
relating to the issue of the notes of the Company
to the President, and Treasurer, and three of the
on the dividend orders held by them respectively
1t will be remembered that when the difficulties
between the City and State, on the one hand, and
the Company the other, WERE on the 18th of
July, so quietly and eXpeditously arranged, it
was stated that the individual holders of the dv-
dend orders had been paid only one-half of what
they entitled to, while the City had received
its claim in full, in the shape of cash and note.
1t was certainly understood at the time that this
was the only note issued on this account, and it
was not even whispered that any single individual
had Jared in any degree better than the mass of
the creditors to whom checks, for a moiety of the
interest due each of them, had been given. More
than one month elapsed, and during that period
the public had no ntimaton of the existence of
any other arrangement than that to which we have
alluded. We then discovered that the City of
Wheeling, the State of Maryland and Messrs
GARRETT HOPKINS, STARR and HACK, together with
Mr. ATKINSON. as the Attorney of some one who
was not named, had also received notes for the
unpaid balances of their respective interest claims
As Mr.. GARRETT was the President, and three of
the other gentlemen mentioned were Directors,
and the fourth the Treasurer of the Road, we
thought they had taken care of themselves in a
wholly indeensible way, and we laid before the
public the information we had obtained.
In the following extract from the statement
published by us on the Goth of August, the allie
CATION referred to is thus distinctly set forth
'There were in fact, nine notes in all given by the
company in settlement of the deferred half of the
ed interest all payable the goth September, uithom

Mr.. Ford spares no effort to crafty the taste of
that part of our community who still love the

interesting letter on the South, but more especially
on the Lone Star sister of conederacy, the lovely
Texas. 1t is from the pen of Maj. John T. Gilmore,
of Cumberland county, intelligent planter of our
State. Our readers will find many things of interest
in his letter. and highly instructive comments on
that beautiful country.
We return our thanks to Maj. Gilmore for the
Texas seed of various sorts sent U.S. We placed them
in the hands of gardener, and they are already
sown: we will inform him of their growth hereafter.

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-It is cool again this week,
but no frost and we have the April new moon and
no frost The fruit uninjured may now, according
to past experience be considered safe. There will
be but sorry crop of peaches in Wake county, but
in some places learn enough are left to give good
size Apples and pears and plums are in abundance.
strawberries ale just now ripenlng, and promise an
abundant yield.
Corn is coming up we'll; we have heard Of no
cotton up yet the wheat we have seen looks only
medium, but we hear in the west it gives goodly
token of bountiful harvest.
