Our Baltimore Correspondence.
BALTIMORE, Nd,
Feb. 26, 1866.
The Merchants of Baltimore are now
making preparations for the Spring trade
1t is not expected that heavy business
will be done here this season. Consequent
ly the Jobbers are not laying in very heavy
stocks. In the Dry Goods line Messrs
William Devries 4 Co., are receiving their
usual stock. This is the largest jobbing
house in the City. Messrs. Hamilton,
Easter & Co., are also receiving their
usual supply Of rich and elegant goods, for
ladies wear. Armstrong, Gator & Co., are
receiving an elegant stock of Silks, Rib
bons and Straw-Goods. This firm deals in
everything pertainingto the Millinary line.
Mr.. BENZ. Gator, SO well known in Va, is
still at the head of Sales Department his
universal and well deserved popularity,
must secure to their house, the full share
of the trade Of the Valley. Weldon and
johnson is the style Of new firm in the
Dry Goods line. Mr.. Weldon is true
Virginian, and, has long been the leading
Salesman in the house of Hamilton, Eas-
ter & Go. Messrs. w: & j. are successors
to Dean, Crabb & Co. They are receiving
handsome stock Of goods, and it is only
necessary to give Mr.. Weedon's friends his
address, to ensure from them call See
Card
Bayne, Miller & Co., is the styleofanew
Commission house, Oh German Street.
These gentlemen are SO well known in Vir-
GINA, that it is scarcely necessary to say
anything in regard to them, beyond the
mention of their names. Capt. William
Miller raised Company Of Cavalry in the
Valley in 1861, and joined Colonel Nc
Donald's Command, afterwards Ashby's,)
but his superior business qualifications be-
ing known, he was chosen by the astute
Ashby, to the responsible position of Quar-
termaster, for "Ashby's Cavalry" This
position he filed with credit to himself I'M
til the close Of the war. He is now associa-
ted in the Commission business with our
Patterson Bayne of Alexandria
| Mr.. Vachel J. Brown, formerly of Staun-
ton, and well known to many Of the bust
ness men of the Valley, is doing and ex-
tensive Grocery and Commission business
at sc Exchange place. Mr.. b. went to
Baltimore when young man, and by a
course of fair dealing and superior business
qualifications, has risen to the first position
among the business men of Baltimore. It
will be doubtless gratifying to him to re-
new old friendships.
Mr.. Moro Philips, IA Bowley's Wharf,
manufacturing super Phosphate Of Lime,
an article which has no superior as fer
tilizer We were shown large number
of letters from those who have used it, and
they pronounce it superior to any other
manure ever used. It is peculiarly adapt
ed to wheat, corn, grass and tobacco cul-
ture. This article is manure and not a
stimulant, like many articles offered for
sale.
Our farmers would do well to write to
Richard Cromwell, 36 and 80 Light St.,
for what they want in the way Of seeds,
for field or garden. His stock Of Agricul-
tural Implements is large, and embraces all
the misunderstanding machines. We shall
notice this extensive concern, hereafter.
Many of our Valley people will remem-
Der Col. j. r. Herbert, the gallant COM
mander of the brave Maryland Infantry,
which, during our struggle, marched up
and down our Valley so often. The Col.
is in the Commission business, 1853 Pratt
Street near Light. The Colonel did what
he could with his noble Battalion, to
achieve for us, what we thought was our
destiny. Since the change, and now that
our destiny is more manifest" he is again
ready to help our people to achieve more
peaceful victory, by industry and home
development. Hisfrm is Herbert& Hairs
ton. They will dispose Of your produce
to the best advantages, and, will make pur-
chases of the best Fertilizers, implements,
&C., for our farmers
Great preparations are going forward
here for the fair and bazaar to be held in
April-the Ladies say, that they mean to
to make it the largest and grandest thing
of the kind, that ever came off in this
Country. Thousands Of distressed South
ern families will bless them. A Soldiers
Aid Society, should be formed in Staunton
at once, if you people wish to receive any
benefit from this fair.
Yours, H.
Light Breaking.
A glorious ray Of light has broken in
on our sorely stricken land; Andrew John
son has proven himself worthy Of filling
the position occupied by Washington and
