HARBOR-MASTERS' FEES DECLARED iLLE-
GAL.-The Collector Of the Port of Rich
mond has received copy of the following
letter from the Treasury Department,
wherein it is alleged that harbor-masters'
fees are illegal, and cannot be collected.
The document was received nearly fort
night ago, but for some unknown reason the
Collector has hitherto withheld it from the
public

august IL. ls6e. )
Sir,--The Secretary of the Treasury
has referred to me letter addressed TO
him by Mr.. c. F. Barnes, agent of the
Owners and Captains Association Of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, and New Lon
don, representing that the clearance officer
in New York collected certain fees not emu
mcratcd in the customs fee bills--namely,
harbor-masters' fees, health officers fees,
and hospital tax.
"Fees of the kind demanded at other
ports have been made the subject of liti-
CATION and judicial decision.
''On the 10th of July, 1866, q bill of
fifty cents was presented to Z. G.. Barnes,
master and owner of the sloop Nautiless,
for port tonnage, by the harbor-master Of
Washington city, the payment of which
being refused, suit was brought, which was
finally decided by the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia, which declared
the ordinance of :. the city of Washington
lcvying an harbor tar upon vessels to be un-
constitutional and void.
q A case involving the same question
came before the Supreme Court of the
United States upon writ of error to the
Supreme Court of Louisiana, and was de-
cided at the December term (1SG7) of the
former court. The suit arose on the act of
the Legislature of Louisiana authorizing
the port warden of New Orleans to demand
five dollars of every vessel arriving at that
port. Payment was refused, and a suit
the result. The judgment of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana sustaining the act of the
Legislature was reversed by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
"In delivering the opinion of the court
Chief Justice Chase said: 'Wc think it
quite clear, therefore, for reasons given,
that the regulation Of commerce, made by
the act before us, comes within none of the
limitations or exceptions to the general rule
of the Constitution-that' the regulation
of commerce among the States is in Con-
gress.

be appointed to memorialiEe our Sen-
Ators aud Representative now assem-
blcd in Indianapolis, to pass an act
authorizing the County Commission
ers to call a special election of the
voters of Warrick County to levy a
tax to build railroad from Boon
vile to Evansville, or such a tax as
may be necessary, in addition to what
may be subscribed by private sub
scription.
Slaughter, and j. B. Bethel, were
appointed to serve upon this Com
mittee.
DIR. VIM. w. Slaughter was called
upon for speech, which he respond
ed to IN very happy manner. He
believed the people of Warrick
County were thoroughly aroused to
the Importance of Immediate action
in this matter. The road we must
have. He favored the Newburgh
route, and thought the road could be
constructed that way cheaper than by
way of the canal. He thought, also,
that more money would be subscribed
by that route-OhiO and Anderson
townships alone would contribute
$50, 900, and, if necessary, $1OO, ,0O0
DIR. Slaughter thought the time would
be short until the road would be ex-
tended on to Mitchell, where it would
connect with the O. & M. r. r. This
would give US railro1d Communication
with the East and South. IA
Speeches were also made by Captain
S. d. Dial, Major q. A. Baker, John
App, Esq, aud Nathan Pyeatt, Esq,
urging the necessity of the speedy
construction Of the road, and showing
the great advantages to be derived
from it by the citizens of Warrick and
VandeTburgh counties.
On motion, the President requested
all in favor of Immediately commenc-
ing the proposed road to rise. The
vast assemblage rose to their feet as
one man.
On motion, the Warrick and Van
derburgh county papers were requested
to publish the proceedings Of the
meeting.

to meet again on Saturday, the 18th

would be produced, and a company

important transaction In Insurance

We learn that the Travellers In
surance Company, of Hartford, Conn,
through the Manager of their West
ern Department, Gen. Julius White,
have concluded negotiations with the
Provident Life Insurance and Invest
ment Company of this city, by which
all the outstanding accident policies
of the latter have been assumed by
the Travellers.
The arrangement also embraces the
relinquishment by the Provident to
the Railway Passengers Assurance
Company, of all their business of ac-
cident insurance by tickets, heretofore
sold by them at the railway stations.
Both the Travellers and the Rail
way Passengers Assurance Companies
are under the Presidency of James
G. Patterson, Esq, of Hartford, who
was the originator of accident insur-
ance In the United States, and who,
by reason of his eminent ability in
the science of life insurance, was re-
Gently elected President of the Ma
tional Chamber of Life Insurance.
Under such management high toned
liberal and expanded view of the re-
lations of the insurer and insured
may De expected.
Accident Insurance is a necessity
the people cannot afford to be with
out. Its magnitude and Importance
In business point of view, and its
benefit to poliey-holders, may be
gathered from the fact that, during its
comparatively brief history, embrac-
ing period of less than five years,
the Travellers Insurance Company of
Hartford, Conn, has issued one hHR-
dred and ftiY thausGild accident poll
cieS and has paid more than ten fhoW-
sand claims for injuries, fatal or non
fatal. thus disbursing to its policy
holders nearly nine hundred thousand
dollars, eonferfing upon the insured
a larger benefit than any other COM
pany has ever done In the same period
of its history. mI
Take single instance of its value,
the case Of Charles NJ. Rogers, lately
murdered In New York City. When
Mr.. Rogers paid the Travellers pre-
MUM of fifty dollars, for a years in
surance of $4,000, there was prob
ably no one hazard against which he
considered himself more secure than
that of being murdered.
The ample security, and the valu-
able insurance granted for so small
premium, makes it unquestionably
the most desirable policy in the world;
for it cannot be disputed that, in pro-
portion to the premium paid, the
benefits conferred are incomparably
larger than has ever before been
known in the history Of insurance.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb 4th, 1862
A visitor to this city, who has not
seen it since the war, will be surprised
at its growth and business activity.
During the hostilities il suffered very
materially in the loss of its Southern
and Southwestern trade, which was
by no means made up by the large
Government business created by army
operations. But since the close of the
war the merchants and capitalists of
this city have been very active and en-
terprising, and have not only regained
most of the trade of former days. but
are pushing out into new fields. The
manufacturing interests of Baltimore
are especially prosperous, and have
material influence upon its business
activity and growth.
An earnest effort is being made to
make this great entrepot between the
Great West and Europe, by lines of
hrst class steamers to European ports,
blythe enlargement of its harbor, ware
house and dock facilities, and by its
greatly improved railroad connections
to the West. By these means it is
hoped to make it at least tie second
city on the seaboard as port of import
for merchandise and the landing ofthe
vast stream of migration from the
German States. and point of shipmenf
to Europe of the great staples of to-
baeco, cotton, grain and provisions
from the West. And it appears that
this grand scheme is beginning to 70.
ceive Hthe first fruits of its realiza-
tion. The most prominent influence
operating to secure these great results
for Baltimore is the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company. It's President,
