lated these at single stroke. The city OF
Baltimore must foot the bill or suffer dis.
honor. AS to the value of property des.
troyed We cannot expect to know much
until the next annual report appears; but
we know that it was estimated by millions
OF dollars ut the time when it happened.-
But the direct losses caused by rebel con-
tiagrations and the payment OF interest
charges, are Insignificant compared with
the loss of trade, which has been diverted
NorthwArd during the year. Under this
stimulant Baltimore had added $4,000 to
her population during the last decade; and
we have little doubt she would have ad.
ded half as many more in 1861, with the
enjoyment Of peace. Instead of that she
has refrigerated in numbers as iu wealth
and influence. Multitudes have been obli-
ged to betnke themselves elsewhere to OBJ
tain livelihood. The Union soldiers
passing Southward or remaining to garri-
son Fort Mcuenry, have been one great
source of what prosperity remained TO her,
Secesslontsm destroying her great avenue
OF commerce, also dried up. all her South
ern market-a loss which che shares in
common with ourselves.

Welpublished few days,siuce a istate-
ment that had been passing the rounds of
publication, in relation to the vote of the
Board of Directors this road on the sub
jeCt of administering the oath of alIe-
glance to employees of the trains. The
matter had been severely criticised in sew
eral of the papers, and no denial or ex-
PLANTATION had been made. But we, have
just learned from a direct source that Pres
ident Garret has stated that the preamble
and resolutions contained untruthfulstateI
mcnts in regard to the relations of the
company with the Government and it's ac-
ton in reference to opening the road (; and
were regarded las alike unnecessary and
mischievOus. Onithis occouut, the resoIu-
tions were "laid on the tablen-not reiecta
ed. On the 18th Of February last, ut a

luton, moved as substitutes, was adopt.

tions of the company, is hereby approved;
and that as the company regains posses

displayed at its prominent stations, and
shall SO continue until otherwise ordered

ties upon its line upwards of sir hundred
and Jftty thousand soldiers have been trans

without killing, or even wounding, single

Company have undoubtedly arisen from
unfriendlyiand rival railroad interests, pro.
voked probably by the reduction of % cents
on every hundred pound of freight from
Cincinnati to Baltimore and other Eastern
cities, by this company Immediately on its

The FAcTs.-The Trinity Journal furnishes
the following sensible facts concerning the ori-
gin Of the rebellion
We have ever claimed and wrote that it was
the reckless, selfish ambition of the political
leaders in the South that made this rebellion,
not the people; they, that IS large majority
were loyal at heart. bat were forced and hurried
into this fratrieidal war by appeals, suasion and
threats by men TO whom for years they had
trusted their political affairs and who, TO graf
ify their lust for rule and power, betrayed their
trusting countrymen. and attempted TO destroy
the only really great, free Government on
earth. Our statement was true : whenever our
army has appeared on the advance into the
Southern States it has been welcomed with
open arms by the inhabitants along the Ten
uessee river our soldiers were received with
shouts of iov. The Richmond, Norfolk and
Memphis papers are compelled to acknowledge
this fact. attribute their defeats to this cause,
and howl over the traitoFous Southrous these
papers for the present must DO this-they are
under the surveillance of rebel armies before
the summer solstice comes these same journals
will be rejoicing over the proclamation OF peace,
and noble Government saved from wreck and
ruin.

The Hu.hnnd Hunter.

Always busy, ever-thronged, money-lov-
ing Third street, has recently had another
character added TO its countless throug.-
The character is in the shape of German
woman about forty years of age, with a
sharp, but pleasant, countenauce, auburn
hair, aud hazel eyes. She is uniformly
dressed in black, relieved only by huge
white frill inside of her plain hat. Hee ap-
Pearanee is by no means attractive, nor IS it
ia any way repulsive.
She is Invariably in good humor, aud is
never addressed, nor ever speaks, but her
faco is Wreathed In smiles. She appears 10
be woman of ordinary education, aud
very amiable temper. She appears on Third
street every day, regularly. long before
business hours, and remains there general.

huge vaults of the banks are locked up, and
the bankers are enjoying their wine and
gouty dinners, and The newsboys are sing
ing their expiring notes over the "Reg'lar

During all the long hours of each day,
and day after day. and week after week,
thiG "Lady in Black" pursues her one and
sole purpose undeviatingly and without
fear or ferVOr. That purpose is to get a
husband. If you approach her she will re-
ceive you with smile, and ask you prompt

"Do you want to get married Z"
The answer willinaturally be the Yankee

The good woman will twist her hand

If you press inquiries you delight her,
and she will converse freely on the happi-
ness of domestic life. aud the necessity Of
all people being welded. Ifyou bluff her,
you do not hurt her feelings-she smiles
on you as you depart. There is nothing
indelicate in her language, and If she is
approached with Vulgarity she rsproves it
once in her pleasant way.
AT first she evinced strong preference
for the bankers and brokers, aud We believe

manifested in the Constitution of the
so-called Southern oonfederacy. With
brazen effrontery, it insults the common

the zeal of the delivery, aud Withal the un-

travail, are found parleying with dydra-
headed evil. Col. Boyers did much good
fby a few timely spoken words. And could
there be free and constant interchange
of thought and sentiment between the
