The following card from W. Bollman,
Esq, President Of the Western Mary.
land Railroad, appeared in the Balti-
more papers of Thursday last. Mr..
Bollman says On the 18th day of
August wrote to the Editors of the
Baltimore Gasette as follows:
Genasmen lin an article in your paper of
the 18th Of this month you use the following
language; 1--WE are convinced that very many
OF the most active leaders in the project to ad-
vance million of dollars to the Western Mary
land road are actuated by the most mercenary
views; and again, ave have more than a
suspicion that ii the subject Is ever examined
In Court Of Justice the public will see why
certain parties are so wrathy at our efforts to
impede the march Of improvement" These
are serious charges, and you must admit you
have NO right TO make them unless you are
prepared to substantiate them, and therefore
request that you viii furnish to the Western
Maryland Railroad Company the names Of the
parties to whom you refer, and the evidence
upon which you base the statements made by
you. Respectfully,
w. BoLLxAs, President
To that letter the Editors Of the
Gczette responded as follows;
oryIcE or TIE Azsr1s,
Baltimore, Aug. 10, 1850. !
W. Boilmaa, Esq, President, dc.
Dear Sir-In stating that many of the pro-
meters Of the project TO advance one million Of
dollars to the Western Maryland Railroad were
looking to their own pecuniary interests rather
than to those Of the people Of Baltimore, or in
other words, they were animated more by
mercenary views than the desire to develop
our works Of public Improvement we stated
what we believe to be truth and one which
we scarcely thought would be challenged by
these most conversant with the proceeding In
question. We shall entertain the conviction
expressed 10 the Gasefts Of the 10th instant, but
In reference TO matter Of that character we
cannot permit any one TO catcchise US a. TO the
grounds Of our belief. We do not hesitate 10
say to you, however, that whatever informa-
ton we possess came from such source that
We are bound 10 accept II As true.
Very respectfully,
EDIroRs BALrlnokE GAzErrx.
avail myself of the columns Of your paper
for the purpose Of enabling the citizens OF Bal
timore TO learn with what facility the Editors
OF the Gaseffe make unfounded charges, such
Ne those referred 10 in my letter to them, and
with what ingenuity they avoid making them
good Respectfully,
President Western Maryland r. q. Go.

labor oflove as well as local pride, to

the general interest Of the Fair, Every
earnest effort should from now on be
enlisted to make this First Festival both a

tured something in the fruit, implement,
produce or machinery line, that will in.
terest others and benefit themselves.
Let each and every one send in some.

The magnificent yields of our glorious
harvests now safely housed aud garnercd,
the iue fruit now ripenins Ia abundance
in every orchard, potatoes, peaches and
pumpkins OF all sorts and sizes, the
eoru now nodding its peerless plumes

ere long yield golden treasures for the
