Down on the CarDet-baggers.

The negroes hereabouts, says the Richmond
Wing, have declared war upon the carpet bag
gers, and manifest disposition to cut them
selves off from all whites and set up for them
selves When this state of feeling shall extend
to the negro masses throughout the South, the
plans of Congress will be greatly disturbed
The project of the Northern Radicals was to
govern the negroes by carpet-bag lieutenants.
If the negroes won't be directed by these lieu
tenants, but insist upon being their own captains,
what will Congress do? 1t is fast coming to
that.

Those who take delight in the increase of tax
es should not fail to vote with the Radical par
ty. They have IN time Of peace squandered one
thousand five hundred millions of dollars in
three years, increased the national debt during
the same period over one hundred and fifty
millions, and are continuing to increase it at
the rate of ten millions month. Surely, those
who are in favor of high taxes and who consid-
er national debt national blessing, will not
hesitate to vote the Radical ticket -Enquiarer.
Mr.. Forney writes that the Radicals in Penn
sylvania feel that all the good Angels are with
them and the Chronicle adds, that General
Grant s words-let us have peace have be-
come the prayer of millions of loyal men," We
doubt as to the. Angels but hope the ''pray-
ers'' may prevail. The difficulty is that the
Radical leaders don't act as if their prayers
were sincere-and that is necessary Let them
show their faith by their works.-Alex Ga

THE BALTIMORE AND Potomac RAILROAD
From the annual report Of the President and
directors OF the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
Toad Company submitted TO the stockholders az
their meeting In Upper Marlborough on We'd
nesday last. we learn that the general condition
of their affairs Is al this time much hotter than
ever before, and the immediate completion OF
the whole ROAD 70 the Potomac river is claimed
to be assured. Since the last annual re.
port, the engineering corps has been kept en-
gagged IN preliminary surveys and location, or
divided into resident construction corps in
charge Of such stations of the work as were
hnder contract and being graded. OF those
gentlemen having contracts for grading, Mr.
f q. W. Hall, and HeIstend Il Co., have near-
ly finished the different sections TOR which
they had contracted in Prince Georges county,
both on the main Stem and Washington branch.
Messrs. Hammond Il "a. were making ex-
Cellent progress IN Anne Arundel county,
but were recently compelled to stop further
work because Of difficulties about right
OF way on sections for which they had
the contract. But these diffcultres hay-
ing been satisfactorily settled, they Will
actively and Immediately resume work
The right of way from the Anna polls and Elk
Ridge road TO the Patuxent river has all been
secured either by giit, pure base, arbitration or
condemnation, which also enables CriswelI x
Co. 10 resume work, which they, TOO, had been
compelled Tor like reason to suspend. Ar
rangements have been made for all other parties
having contracts OF last year to vigorously
prosecute their work, and sub-contracis are
now ready TO be awarded on the whole NAN
stem from Baltimore 10 MARLBOROUGH, and the
hrsnch TO ington, on which WORK WILL be
immediately commenced. The President and
Directors express their qualification at the
great interest felt IN the cities OF Washington
and Baltimore in the success of this enterprise
calculated TO rebound so much TO the prosperity
Of both oCmm unInss.

ENGLAND.-The nnual feast OF the Cutters of

present as guest, made his first address in
England, in response to toast Of the health of
the American Minister. MIR. Johnson after
expressing thanks for the high honor conferred
upon him, SAID that he came to this country as
a messenger Of peace. He was glad he said to
recognize everywhere in England strong proofs
OF friendship, and which he was certain were
reciprocated IN his native country. For no
people under the sun America entertains ri uder
feelings than her Ma jesty's subjects. Thay
We're really one people, had like laws and like
institutions, and in both countries freedom was
the basis OF the laws and Institutions. By
their Joint hands liberty would live forever
MIR. johnson reviewed briefly the causes CON
duct and triumphant termination Of the recent
civil war in America, and commended that the
and none but freemen now trod the soil Of
America; and history could say that all was
well spent In eIasing this blot transmitted from
common an cestry, furnishing our fame, and
belylng the Declaration Of Independence He
then alluded TO the marshaling Of forces for the
coming Presidential election In America, saw
ing, that however the present canvass ended
he could personally vouch for the next Pres
Ident as warm friend of England. He than
alluded TO the Sheffield cutlery, which he said
was famous throughout the civilized world
and spoke favorably and encouragingly of the
annuaI gathering of the Cutters Company He
was listened to throughout with the most
marked attention, and his assurances OF peace
full and friendly relations between England
and America were loudly applauded.

TRIBUTE OF ADOPTED CITIZENS TO HKHRY
A WIsE.-The movement TO raise a subscrp-
ton by the foreign born population of this
country for the purpose Of purchasing home
stead for Hon. II. A. Wise, Of Virginia seems
TO be taking definite shape, and fr On the midi
catIons the sum required can be raised without
EFFORT, so general seems to be the desire to show
in this way a recognition Of Mr.. Wise's great
services in vIndication Of the rights Of the
adopted citizens In the memorable Know
Nothing campaign Of Isji Undoubtedly the
remarkable efforts of Mr.. Wise in that cam.
paign served to break the back bone of the for.
midsble political organization arrsyed against
the adopted citizens. and this proposed tribute
to him al their hands seems very appropriate
and graceful one. In Boston the amount Of
$1,000 was sent m small sums to the Boston
Pilo' in few hours after the appearance of an
editorial in that paper advocating the UNDER
taking; and in Richmond q very eonsiderabl,
sum was promptly raised for the same pui :
pose. In Washington We hear that number
OF prominent citizens, many Of them of native
birth, have ey pressed Q disposition to make up
a handsome contribution for this fund.
