even to be diverted from it by any cause
likely, or possible, to arise.
This fear, only temporary, was dissi-
|pated by proper reflection. and now Bal
|timoreans. to man, welcome US with
outstretched hands. only bidding US not
to delay our coming. The terrible ''for-
|eigners," as the Northern capitalists who
invested their money in this work we're
called, and the fearful ''foreign capital"
which was to work such incalculable mis-
chief to our great city, have now no ter
rors for US, or for Baltimoreans.s They
realize that we who would induce ''for-
eign capital into their city, for the con-
struction of this and other roads, are far
better friends of her increase and prosper
|ity than they who would keep capital and
all roads, but what she now has, out.
Having therefore defeated, or lived
down, all opposition which encumbered
our early efforts, and which has done
much to thwart our purposes and retard
our progress; having the people all over
the State interested in and anxious for
our suceess-having our financial affairs
in good condition, and our arrangements
now fully perfected for the rapid prosecu-
ton of the work to completion, we can
confidently assure the Stockholders that
the next Annual Meeting will develope
such progress as will be heartily crafty
ing to every friend of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad. ~ ~

A TALK ABOUT A HEAD.

Jake was little negro, who belonged
to DR.. Taliaferro, and was said to have in
bis little frame heart as big as General
Jackson's. to say nothing of Napoleon
Bonaparte and Zach. Taylor. He didn't
even fear that respectable fellow, Old
Nick; and as for coolness-he was as cool
as the tip top of the North Pole.
One day DR.. Taliaferro, upon the oc-
casion of the commencement of a medical
college, of which he held the chair of ana
tony, gave dinner. Among his guests
was well-known ventriloquist. Late in
the evening the bottle had done its work;
the convers alton turned upon courage,
and the Doctor boasted considerable OF
the lion heart of his favorite, Jake He
offered to bet nothing could scare him,
and his bet the ventriloquist took up.
naming at the same timo the test he want
ed imposed. Jake was sent for and came.
Jake" said the Doctor, Il have bet
large sum of money on your head. and
you must win it. Do you think you can?'
berry well, MASTER" replied Jake
| Jest tell dis niger what he's to do, and
he'll do it, shure."
II want you to 60 to the dissecting-

there. Cut off the head of one, with q
large knife which you will find there, and
bring tito us. You must not take q light,
however, and don't get frightened" l."
'Dat's all, is it?' inquired jake
"Oh! berry we'll. I'll do dat shure fol-
sartain-and as for. being frighten. dc
debbil hisself Amt a gwyne to frighten me. .
Jake accordingly set off, and reaching
the dissecting-room, groped about until
he found the knife and the bodies, He
had just applied the former on the neck
of the latter, when from the body he was

instances, we have been met with COM
mendible liberality, so characteristic of
its intelligent and generous people.
It may be, and we believe is, neces-
sary to dwell so much at length upon this
point, but we desire to impress upon
those most interested that as yet they
have done little or nothing to aid in the
completion of this work of such vital i'm
portance to them, and that while they
are not expected or asked to do much IN
the way of furnishing capital, or taking
risk, yet this little they can do with the
certainty of being largely and Immediate
ly reimbursed.
AS an earnest of what may be expected
from the people of Charles County gene
rally, and showing that they are keenly
alive to their best interests, we have
pleasure in stating that already several
gentlemen have each offered, in addition
to the right of way, all the nesessary
land for depot grounds, sidlings, switch
es, wharfage, &C., free of cost, to the ex-
tent, in some cases, of ten acres, if their
property shall be selected as the terminal
point.
Since the last Annual Report, the En-
gineering Corps has been kept engaged
in preliminary survey and location, or
divided into resident construction corps
in charge of such stations of the work as
were under contract and being graded.
Of those gentlemen having contracts for
grading. Mr.. E. G.. W. Hall, and Heis-
tend & Co., have nearly finished the diff
ferent sections for which they had con-
tracted in Prince Georges County, both
on the main stem and Washington branch.
Messrs Hammond & Co. were making
excellent 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 those diff
culties having been satisfactorily settled,
they will actively and Immediately re-
sumo work The right of way from the
Annapolis and Elk Ridge Road to the
Patuxent River has all been secured
either by gift, purchase, arbitration or
condemnation, which also enables Criswell
|& Co. to resume work, which,. they, too,
had been compelled for like reason to
.Suenand as Arran0ementc had heen made
