DEAR SIR 1T affords me great satisfaction
and much pleasure. to learn from your letter
OF 4th inst, that the landowners in your sec

interest in immigration. 1t has been nv
earnest endcavor for many years, to show that
AN enlarged industrious white population and
a diversified industry would be tho true founda
non OF an economical prosperity and success.
!Our former institution would not have been
weakened, as was feared, but strengthened by
number OF small farmers to sustain the staple
cropping of the planters Millions of dollars
could have been saved cvcry year to tho rc-
aourccs Of the State. But since our late reyo-

bic, that i have too favorable an opinion ne tho
resources of our State, but deem her with
proper culture one of the gardcn-spots of the
earth, requiring only an energetic, pcrscvcr-
ing and frugal people, to make her most hap
py home for millions yet unborn.
The actual results of our abors in the field
of immigration have been limited lam sorry
TO say, that we continue to meet with great
opposition in Europe to any emigration to our
Southern States, mostly on account of the mis-
representation of Northern and Western apcp
cies, that have had for many years past an
undisputcd control of public opinion in regard
to that mattor and have shaped it entirely
to suit their purposes. We arc SLOWLY gainno

TIE FUNDING BILL.-This measure went
through both branches of Congress yesterday
under the party lash, and with tho special aid
OF the legislative machinery and influence of
the presiding officers. Mr. Colcax seemed to
be especially favorable to this bill, which cx-
cnpts the bonds from taxation, and mortgages
industry of the country to the bondhold-
crs for thirty and forty ycars 10 come. In all
that time, according to this precious Nadical
job, it would be beyond the power Of the peo-
pie to pay off any part of the debt; no matter
how full the Treasury, they would have to- go
on paying the interest, aud could not discharge
the principal,
The President refused to undertake, upon so
short an n:tion, the signature Of bill
winch SO deeply touches every business man
aud tax payer in the country. The Prcsiicns
declined to sign the bill. Had a proper op-
portunity been afforded, VIC believe he would
have expressed an emphatic antagonism to the
champions of tho bondholdcrs, that their pro-
pcrty shall be exempt from taxation, when the
capital of every other individual groans under
the heaviest burdens. Tho plundered laboring
masses Of the country will appreciate this asa

The Great Flood in Baltimore,

The heaviest and most destructive food
ever known in the annals Of this city took
place yesterday, not even excepting the great
flood OF 1887 On Wednesday night last a
very severe rain and thunder storm occurred
and considerably increased the volume of
water IN the streams around the city. Ycstcr-
day morning at an early hour the rain com
mcnced to fall and gradually increased in
violence until between the hours of eight and
nine o'clock A NJ, when it fell in torrents
and was accompanied by considerable thundcr
and lightning About twelve o'clock NJ, tho
water in Jones Falls commenced to overflow,
and in very short time tho whole of tho
lower portion of the city was covered in many
places to the depth of from eight to twelve

The suddcnncss of the overflow was for soma

fall of rain was excessive it would by no mean.

we have since learned to be as follows: /: Abous

Northern Central Railway passes by Lake
Roland. At this point an arm Of the laka

culvcrt passing under the road bed. When tho
storm was at its height the water in this arm
was observed to rise with great rapidity.

the culvcrt was evidently either too small to I
