THE BALTIMORE AND Potomac RAnRoAD.-The
Marlboro Gazette of the 18th says: The pros
pect for building the road from Upper Marlboro
to intersect with the Annapolis Railroad at Millers
vile, is growing more and more auspicious every
day. The land owners ON the route, as far as as
certained, have agreed to take additional stock in
the company to the amount of the value of the lands
through which the road is to pass. This with the
offer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to equip
road with cars, &C.. adds greatly to the chances
of having it completed. Whilst active efforts
have been heretofore made by the officers of our
company, we are pleased to announce that renewed
exertions will be put forth, under more favorable
auspices, to push on the work to a speedy compile
ton. Mr.. Bowie, the newly elected President, is a
working man, and has never been known to lag be-
hind in any cause he has undertaken, and the pub
lie will look with confidence for favorable results,
as bis active and untiring zeal cannot fail to ac-
complish the end sought. The retiring President,
Col. Seman, had the entire confidence of the COM
pany, and his determination to resign the office
was much regretted.

THE KEY WEST NEGRoEs.-A few days ago, with
in about twentyfour hours of the successful andiu
of gang of negroes, in Mobile Bay, twenty three
remarkably fine fellows, field hands, were placed
on board of the Mobile steamer for this city, and
having safely arrived to be sold on Friday, at
the st. Charles Hotel, by Julian Neville There is
much discussion and inquiry to the character of
these negroes, whether they are of the recent, or
whether they are portion of the one hundred
and ninety fo- whom graves were dug at Kew
West, but who, unreasonably enough preferred
rather the comfortable quarters of our river plan
tations to such narrow accommodations as Uncle
Sam proposed to furnish them. One of the lot, a
boy of II, weighs one hundred and seventy, and is
six feet high. 1t is supposed he is of the Bo.
zale tribe, and that his father a renowned war
rior of that warlike race. The landing of cargo
of Africans right under the nose of Judge Camp
BELL the most ferocous of all the foes of the traffic,
is certainly very audacious act The time, too,
selected for the landing adds to the gravity of the
offence The Judges recent ponderous charge to
the Grand Jury and eloquent exhibition OF the hor
rors of the middle passage had just been delivered,
and orders had just been given to the United States
Marshal to pursue all offenders under the statute
Judge Jones decision that it was no violation of
the act of Congress to buy negroes which had been
imported has been set aside. And yet in face of
all this peril and responsibility, some daring ad-
venturer succeeds in landing gang of good hands
in time for the picking season, which will be val
liable addition to our utterly inadequate force OF
agricultural labors "Can such things be, &c."-

lNFIDELITY AND SHOoTING.-In Warsaw, Illinois,
last week, a Mr.. Orndorff surprised his wife in
criminal correspondence with clerk named Ster-
ling. The Quincy Wing says that on making the
discovery, Orndorf, taking bis pistol passed down
to a saloon where he knew Sterling was apt to
spend his evenings till late hour. As he ap
preached Sterling, who sat playing dominoes, Ster
ling turned round to see who was coming, when
Orndorf shot him in the mouth, the ball passing
out through his neck and cutting his tongue near
ly out. Sterling rose to escape, when Orndorf
shot him again, making only flesh wound in the
side, and again making flesh wound on his hip
Sterling started to 60 out, when fourth shot was
fired, which missed. Sterling gained the street
and was chased by Orndorff nearly around the
square, when Sterling went up stairs and locked
the door, which his pursuer began to kick down,
declaring he would kill him. Some friends ar
rived and told him Sterling was dead-but this
did not avail, as Orndorf said he knew better. He
was, however, taken away and arrested.
