War Chains Of III. STAT. Of Maryland.

War Chains Of the STATE Of Maryland.
1t is well known that the State of Mary
land has large claims on the United States
Government for advances made by the State
during the late war, which have not as yet
been liquidated. III his last annual MESA &c.
the Governor called the attention of the Leg
islature to this subject, but they omitted &C.
ton on this important matter.
As the time is drawing to close when
these claims are to Be fled 10 behalf Of the
State, on Wednesday the Governor and Sec
retsry: Of. State visited Washington city to
make proper inquiry into these claims due
the State. We are assured that the Governor
will take such prompt and judicious measures
for securing the, States claim as he may End
necessary.-Md. Republican.

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad is
rapidly advancing towards completion. A.
bout two weeks more Of work remains to be
done on the road through Prince Georges
when that portion will be in readiness to re-
ceive the ties and rails, which have already
been contracted for and which are now being
delivered at Annapolis. The work Of grading
was commenced in Charles county last No
vembsr. and is now more than half finished
The grading 90 *hs Washington Branch has
been pushed forward to the outskirts of that
city, and a pile bridge is being built across
the Eastern Branch. The Company will pro.
coed to lay the track Immediately on SO much
OF the road as is prepared to receive it. The
rails will be laid upon the Main Stem and the
Washington Branch at the same time. The
most vexatious delays 10 the construction OF
the road have been occasioned by the land
suits in which the Company has been engag-
ed from time to time, and the tardiness OF
some Of the judges, who have, 10 some in
stances, failed to render judgments for months
after the cases we're submitted to them.
Unless something unforeseen OCCURS Tor
more delay is created by. the land suits on
hand at present, which is not anticipated, J
the public may confidently look for the OPEN
ing Of the road to travel in the fall. Thus
another artery will be opened through which
trade will: pour into Baltimore. Another
through route will be established, by means
Of which Baltimore will be placed in commu-
nication with all the Southern and Western
markets, and q rival road will have been COM
pleted between this city and Washington,
leading to diminution of the high tariff now
levied by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on
its Washington Branch. Some time will yet
elapse before the road is in running order a.
long the entire route. The magnitude Of the
tunneing which has been imposed upon the
road through Baltimore will cause delay, and
depot will be established on the outskirts Of
the city for the accommodation of the trade
which is expected to be attracted here by its
partial opening. This delay will hardly prove
detrimental to the interests of Baltimore, as
much Of the trade which would otherwise pass
throu2h the city will thus be stopped. aud
connections formed 10 Baltimore which may
not be easily sundered hereafter.- Baltimore

: On Monday night last the two Boards Of
the City Council Of Washington passed bill
giving the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company the right to erect a passenger rail-
road Depot at the corner Of Sixth Street and
the Canal, and, it is said, conveying ground
for the purpose worth at the least calculation
three dollars foot. The fse-simple to the

worth 5000, 900. Only one mem
Der Of the Board of Aldermen capt. Moore)

that the establishment of railroad Depot on
the site referred to would be ruinous to the
project pending in Congress for the new

conceal from the slaves of the Empire that
only in Brazil, on the American continent
are there any human beings held in bondage.
