to ask the War Department to credit towns and

cess OF assets amounting to $151.20. The
statement Of May, 1861. showed probable
excess of S503 81, and the statement of 1862
shows that S201 .O8 Of the excess was real
lied. The statement of May, 1862, shows a
probable excess of $724.49.
II for the years 1860 and 1861 the affairs
Of the corporation were administered for little
over $4,000, can we not again bring it down
to those figures or less sum? Whatever
expenditures can be avoided, consistently
with the due performance of the duties and
Obligations resting on us, should urheSitat-
ingly be made, as it reduces the amount OF
tax to be collected from many who will be
i'll able to meet the demands which must
necessarily be made on them.
In addition to the worl; of cleansing the
town there is much work necessary to be
done in repairing the streets, which have
been suffered to get into most wrctched
condition. Nothing can be saved in the cost
of this work by delay, but something might
have been saved had the repairs been attended
to in due season. In my judgment 1t is more
economical for the corporation to have tins
work done by its own agents than by con-
tract; and it affords them the opportunity to
| allow many who cannot always command
money to pay their taxes to pay them IN
labor, and perhaps prevent them from hav-
| ing idle and improbable time on their hands.
Such arc among the most prominent OF the
duties we are now called on to perform; the
fidelity with which We shall perform them
will bring our best reward in the approval OF
our own conscicnces and the esteem OF our
fellow citizens.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
The Canal-GOy. Thomas.

One Of the fruits Of the unholy rebellion
which is now desolating one portion OF our
country, and carrying sorrow and deep dis
trcss into all portions Of our land, was the
closing up the travel and partial destruction
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
the suspension Of boating on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, with the destruction OF
portion of that important work. The I'M
portance of these two thoroughfares to our
people-the people of Western Maryland
cannot be oycrrated. Without them not
only is our business Frustrated, but our
real estate descends to a mere nominal
value, and our people become improve
rished. Yet in the destruction Of these I'M
movements the rebel vandalsseemed to have
set their hearts and would have accomplished
their nefarious purposes had it not been' as
re believe, for the uutring industry and IN
domitable perseverance which characterized
our talented and Influential! representative in
the National Congress. But few know or
have any idea of the difficulties which had
to be surmounted in order to obtain even
a partial protection to these great works,
but the energy, coupled with the influence
with which Gov. Thomas was able to urge the
claims of his constituents, aud indeed of the
whole State, to have some protection given
to our great works, enabled him to sue
coed, when any other man would have en-
tirely failed. The people of Allcgany conn-
ty. we are sure, will not be slow to award tc
him the plaudt of "woll done good and
faithful servant" and to hold long in kind
remembrance public man so fully devoted
to the interests of the people he represents
