LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Dec. II, 1871.
Mr.. EDIToR:-lf could head this COM
munication with "Letter from the West"
l would feel more certain of welcome
You know how it was with the prophet,
and so fear Baltimore is not far enough
away from you.
notwithstanding your proximity to Bal
timore, doubt very much whether one in
a dozen of your readers, is thoroughly
informed in regard to its commercial i'm
portance. Ijudge few are aware that in
foreign imports Baltimore will, in all pro-
liability, this year, rank number two of the
cities of the Union; yet such is the fact
The rapid strides she is making, in the
matter of foreign imports, is truly wonder
full. The importations of sugar and coffee
during the current year. arc second only to
New York; and if they continue to increase
at the Same ratio, In another twelve months
in these two articles-New York will be
fairly beaten.
This immense wrowth is to great ex
tent owing to the outrageous charges lev
led upon masters of vessels entering the
Port of New York. Here matters are bet
ter regulated, and ship masters fairly
dealt with.
But sugar and coffee are but dull topics;
and although sugar is sweet, we have some
thing here in Baltimore-not of foreign
importation either-far SURPRISING it; of
course l refer to the fair ladies, -suffragists
excepted-and think can safely make the
assertion that There are more handsome
ladies in Baltimore, than can be boosted
of be any other city of its population, in
this or any other country. If you don't
believe me. come and see for yourself.
On the evening Of Thanksgiving Day, l
went to hear lecture by the Rev. B. F.
Price, formerly past or of the Elkton NJ. f.
Church. 1t was very pleasant hour l
spent listening to the Rev. gentleman's
recollections of his boyhood days. The
lecture was chaste and beautifully written,
and intensely interesting throughout. -
Why is it he has never delivered it in Elk
ton? Does the ''prophet rule " apply here
too?
Politics are sound asleep here, both
Republican and "Opossum.
The leading topic is the Wharton trial;
or, as consider it, "The Wharton perse-
cution.
The weather is unusually cold for the sea.

RObherv SUNDAY eveni,,p last while


the family were at church, the house of
Mr.. J. A. Rankin was entered, and five
gold watches and one silver watch stolen.
Mr. Rankin is 4 watch maker, and has his
rooms, of his residence, on east end Of main
street. The burglars tried to effect an
entrance at two Of the back windows,
which were reached by climbing on the
porch roof; Stat was broken out Of one of
the blinds and blind of the other window
opened, but the sash were fastened down
with springs, and could not be opened with
out breaking the glass. An entrance was
breaking a hole through one of the side
lights, and springing the dead latch \
lamp was burning i'll the house, when the
family went out, and the thieves must have
been well acquainted with the premises
and family, and knew that no person was
in the house at the time, the burglary was
effected. A transient resident of Elkton,
William II. Wallace, who was reported to
x
berry occurred, at the gate or on the street,
in the neighborhood of the house, was
apprehended the next day, and had a hear
ing before Justice Howard, but the magis-
trate did not deem the evidence sufficient
to hold the accused, and he was released.
Our town is convenient to large cities and
is visited by great many strangers, some
of whom are doubtless professional thieves.
Every year we have periodical robbery or
two. Some times several houses are enter
ed, one Or two nights in succession, and
nothing more is seen or heard of the thieves
till the period arrives for another visit
People are very liable to attach suspicion
from every slight circumstances, and doubt
less innocent persons are after accused Of
crimes they are entire strangers to. Al
stranger acting in a mysterious and suspi-
cious manner was stopped by the Sheriff a
few days since, at the depot, and questioned
as to his business and actions, but he was
released after a few questions had been put
to him which he did not answer, however.

visit on Saturday morning last. About
seven o'clock on coming down stairs and
entering the dining-room a candle was
found burning in a candlestick on stand.
Further investigation discovered side
door from the kitchen slightly open and
another door at the entrance of back alley,
was also unbolted. Both doors fasten
with bolts on the inside and could not be
opened from the outside. The candle too,
was piece left in the candlestck the night
before, and not enough of it to burn more
than few minutes. How the morning
visitor effected an entrance was not exactly
apparent, but probably by a window, in
the second story, the blind of which was
found open. During the day it was dis
covered that a couple of canton flannel
skirts that were cut out but not made, and
the remnant of goods the garments were
cut from, all of which were left ON the work
stand, the night before, where the candle
was found burning, were gone. The thief
was rather late in commencing operations,
and was scared off with this small booty.

Trumbull and Logan are not friendly to his

Oglesby.' In case Oglesby runs the Pres
