CORRESPONDENT, whom we infer to be in favor of
compromise, from the tone of his note endeavors to
show that the line of 360 3O' would make an equal
division of the territory of the Union. He says:
The annexed table is made up from the report
of the Commissioner of the General Land Office for
1860.
The result shows that division of the terrific
rles between the North and the South, by the line
of 360 3O would give to each quantity very near
ly in proportion to the respective populations of
the free and slave States, viz to the free States
l,795965 square miles for population of 10 ,OOO-
600; and to the slave States, l,203, square miles
for a population of II, 100000.
These respective amounts, viz: Is, ,000, 900 for
the free States, and 900 for the slave States
will vary but very little from the true sums. This
division would involve sacrifice of principle on
the part OF the Republicans, inasmuch as New Mex
leo and the Indian territory in fact no,o slace
territories.

NEW YonK, Jan. 22.-The steamer Marathon.

rived here.
On Monday consols tell 4 per cent, and COM
mercial transactions were checked. 1t is believed
that the character of the advices from the United
States and the position of the Bank of France are
the main incentives that produce the decline.

There is a questionable report that eleven Eng

hurricane at Peho.

IHE BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA CENTRAL RAIL
EoAD-A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
writing on the progress of the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Central Railroad, says:
The point at which the Susquehanna is Intended
tc be crossed by the Baltimore road, is situated
hlteen miles from Oxford, below the mouth Of Oc-
torraro creek. The river is here half mile wide
and exceedingly rocky. Two and half miles be-
low is Port Deposit, famous lumber and lime
stone port. They have already authority In cross
the river for which purpose 5000, 900 will be re-
CURED. Eight miles of the way beyond Oxford are
already graded, and the determination of the com
pany is understood to be to place line of steam
boats upon the Chesapeake Bay auxiliary To the
road, and make the through fare by rail and river
81 to Baltimore. The Importance of this design
will be estimated when it is remembered that tie
old Baltimore road expended a half million of
dollars to destroy the New Castle and French town
road, which was connected with similar bay line.
The new road has been almost in the grasp of its
rival several times. Last year, we believe but p
few votes were lacking to lease it to the old road
In that event, it is said, branch road would have
been constructed from Avondale to Wilmington
and the road extending above Avondale no longer
employed. Beyond the Susquehanna the Balti-
more Central will avoid the various inlets of the
Chesapeake, now bridged by the Wilmington road,
ana along the entire distance will possess the supe-
rlor facilities of continuous line above tide water
1t must be finished if finished at ALL by the people
OF Maryland The merchants of Baltimore are
now directly interested in its success. The whole
line, we believe, is about three miles longe
than the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
road. BY avoiding the ferry at the Susquehanna,
and the bridges over the Gunpowder and Bush
rivers, the trip between the two can be made BY
the Baltimore Central road at least half hou,
quicker than by the other line. The vast lumber
trade OF the Susquehanna will fall directly into its
hands; and the lime, grain, slate and produce OF
the valleys and fertile sections which it ntersects
Will eventually make the Baltimore Central road
one OF the leading lines convergng at this city
The road is now under excellent management. 1t

LETTER FROM A NORTHERN YOUNG LADY

Ialladega, Ala.
To the Editor Of the Constitution Though not
ambitious of appearing in public print feel it my
duty to retute SANDER that is now being publish
ed on the South by some of the Northern papers,
viz: 'that music teacher-a young lady recently
from the North-has been tarred and feathered in
the interior of Alabama" The whole story is but
base fabrication. intended to increase the excite
ment that racks entire nation. | also am
emusic teacher, young lady recently from the
North, in the interior of Alabama" and though
branded by some as an abolitionist, for purposes
best known to themselves, have invariably met
with naught but kind treatment Such charges
not credited till fully proved, and when
established, the severest punishment is 'fpas-
sage paid for the accused to return home."-
Please. understand | am speaking only of
the ladies. The abolitionist tools of the other sex
meet with precisely the same fate as would befall

latiou for the purpose of melting riots AMI blood
shed. | have had numerous opportunities of
watching the peculiar institution" not only in
the cotton-growing States, but also among the
sugar plantations, further South; and here let me
say, the condition of the slave puts to shame the
philanthropy supposed to be so generously ex-
tended to the free negro of the North. The wed
dings, merry-makngs and feastngs among the
"sables" during the past holidays, formed strong
contrast to the quiet and somewhat anxious de-
meanor Of their masters. But as did not intend
writing a defence of that system, whose best de-
fence is thorough acquaintance with it, ! will
bring my letter to close.
Respectfully yours, AMELIA J. BAKER.

The name of Lola MonteZ, by which she was best
known, was assumed when she went on the stage
at Paris, protesting to be Spanish dancer. She
subsequently adopted this name whenever she ap-
peared in public. Her last appearance was at
lecture at Mozart Hall year or so ago, when she
was listened to by large and highly-intelligent
audience. The exploits Of Lola on the railroad
cars in this country have been widely circulated
by the press. One time she persuaded the engineer
to allow her to ride with him on the engine While
he was looking elsewhere, Lola suddenly turned on
full head OF steam, and away dashed the engine at
fearful speed to the great dismay of the engineer.
Another time Lola was in a car, when she pulled
out of her favorite little cigars and cooly light
ed it, The conductor soon made his appearance:
"Madame," said he, blandly, "you cannot smoke
here
Madame went on smoking without paying the
least attention.
"Madame," repeated the conductor, little sa-
yapely, "you can't smoke here"
Lola looked up at him, gave a sweet smile, and
asked
"What do you say, sir? p
''I say you can't smoke here"
"But you see l can, though" replied Lola, send
ing out an extra puff and smiling at the absurdiy
of the conductors theories

the remainder after paying off her just debts, is to
