RAIL SHoOTING.-The high tide of Thursday
morning afforded our gunners rare sport. Some
ten or a dozen boats were pushed out over the
marsh, and the constant popping reminded US of
the irregular fire of a badly-dried battalion of
infantry in line. The fell all hands, sever
al hundred were bagged in few hours.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT;-We are gratfed TO be
able to announce that the contract for furnishing
the United States Government with coal, at the
Washington Navy Yard, has been awarded to the
Frostburg Coal Company, of this county. The
mines are now in perfect working order, and no in
convenience is experienced from the late fail of slate
in one of its galleries.
HIsToRY OF WALKERS ExPEDIrGoN.-Thus ends
the last expedition to Central America under Gen.
Walker, Of which we have recently heard so much
The first installment of it sailed from this port the
10th of April, and arrived at Ruatan Island the
3lst of the same month. Gen. Walker himself,
however, did not arrive till the 18th of June,
after which the expedition organized as follows
Gen VIM. Walker, General-in- Chief; Col. A. F.
Ruder, Colonel commanding; Major John V. HoOtf,
acting Captain Of Company A; Major Thomas Do
Ian, acting Captain of Company b; Capt J. S.
West, Chief of Commissary Department.; Capt
Small, Chief of the Ordnance Department. Lieut.
John Ryan, Chief of Quartermaster's Department.
Noah j. Parsons, First Lieutenant Company 4.
The sub.oilicers and rank in file numbered in all
some hundred men, from all parts of the Union.
On the 2lst OF June the entire party, with Gen.
Walker in command, lett Ruatan for the Island of
COzumel, off the coast Of Yucatan, where arms,
ammunition and provisions had been collected.
Thence they sailed again the 9th for Honduras,
but not direct. As before mentioned, the British
/ n-Ot-war lcarus was watching them, and over a
month was consumed in watching her in turn On
! the 9th of August, however, while the officers OF
the lcarus were enjoying themselves at Belize, the
expedition quietly effected its landing at TruXio,
! and TODD possession of the city. The rest is too
| well known to need reciting.
AS already stated, special condition in favor OF
Walkers followers was insisted upon by the British
| commander, when they were delivered over to the
/ Honduran authorities and we have no reason to
doubt it faithfully complied with. We may,
therefore, expect them back by the next arrival.
Walker himself, and Col. Kudler, his second in
command, have doubtless, this, suffered the
extreme penalty of their temerity.-N. Q. Plea

/ A TOUCHING INSTANCE OF FAFFECTIoN.-Among the
victims on the Lady Elgiu was q party of three
relatives young man, his sister and their nephew
| the latter the little son of a Mrs. Williams, resi-
ding about fifteen miles from Milwaukee. Upon
hearing OF their deaths the mother, who is in mar
row circumstances, took her babe, nine months old
/ in her arms and walked to Chicago, distance OF
seventy five miles, unaware of the generosity of
/ the Chicago and Milwaukee Railway in free passes
/ to those similarly unfortunate with herself The
/ devoted woman had but one S5 bill, and this she
treasured carefully until she reached this CITY,
/ She was among the patient throng Of mOurners
! about the dead-room at the Courthouse, and was
rewarded by being able to identify her brother and
sister. Her sons body was not recovered. She
paid for the coffin for her sister, and then started
on her lonely foot journey to her desolated home.
| At Evanston her strength gave out fortunately
kind friends were to relieve her, anu nearing
! of her condition difficulty was experienced IN
obtaining free passage for Mrs. Williams to the
| end of her route With an infant in her arms she
| thus proposed and more than half accomplished a
foot journey Of one hundred and fifty miles.-Chi-
