Editors Of the Union Your correspondent
progress" in last weeks edition, in an article
headed Opposition to Public Improvements, T"
says there are a class Of gentry around Baltimore
who have fancy for injunctions against steam
railroads that pass through their property. If
the writer of. the article owned any property in
the immediate vicinity of the city he would not
allow it TO be cut upfor railroads and lots ruined
that will lease for So per foot, which is the in
terest on 81, 600 per acre.
If steam railroads are beneficial to suburban
property, why is the Baltimore and Potomacr rail-
road compelled to build tunnel from its depot
on Calvert street to the outskirts of the city p
The streets are laid off two miles from the city
limits and any one living within that distance
can we'll afford to spare the time to ride in horse
cars, which can run upon the beds of streets and
not interfere with any ones property. If your
correspondent thinks the narrow-gauge railroad
will be so beneficial to property near the city, the
owner of the land who applied for an injunction
will sell it to him at precisely the same price asked
before the railroad was contemplated.

Coop FIGUREs.-When we reflect upon the
immense amount of money, energy and pro-
ducing forces that were consumed in the sup
preston ofthe rebellion, directly and indirectly,
We are surprised at the marvellous growth the
nation has made since $50 in the departm emf
of manufactures alone.
In 1860 there were in the United States 14O,-
433 manufacturing establishments. In 1870
they had increased to 252, l4S-nearly double
In 1860 there were employed in these establish
ments 1,311 ,246 hands, and in 1870 they num-
bered 2,O53,9SS. The cost Of the labor in 1860
was 1875, 1878, 96G. In 1870 il amounted to $775,-
621 ,593. And there is now a demand for the
services of $4,000 females in different bran
ches of manufacturing industries.
In 1870 the aggregate amount of the values
of the manufacturers, products was 81 ,232 $685.
O92-which is an increase of $3.50, 764 PIG in
ten years The census shows that seven out of
the ten Southern States that were engaged in
the rebellion have increased their manufacture
ing establishments and products more since
1860 than they did between 1850 and 1860.
This gives an emphatic denial to the charge
that the South is oppressed and imposed upon
as a senseess cry would make it appear.

RUNAwAY-SERIoUs AcCIDENT.-On Tuesday
evening last pair Of horses attached to the car
riage of Col. T. Sturgis Davis of this town, ran
away on the York road, near Rogers shop,
caused by one Of the single trees coming loose
and falling upon the road. The only occupants
ofthe carriage at the time were Miss Louisa Abey
Mrs. Davis aunt and the colored coachman. -
The latter did all in his power to check the run
away team and finally ran them into the fence in
Stephenson's lane, at REFS shop. Before reach
ing the lane, however, Miss Abey jumped from
the carriage, and when found shortly afterwards
was lying upon the railroad track 10 an insensi-
BILE condition. She was carried into Mr.. Refs
house near by, when il was found that she had
sustained compound fracture of the right side
Of the skull, besides other severe bruises. Later
in the evening she was removed to Col. Davis
residence, where she still lies in a critical condi-
ton, her attending physicians, Drs. Piper and
Jarrett Of TOwsOntown, and Prof. Warren of Bal
timore, having but slight hopes Of her recovery.
Had she remained in the carriage she would have
escaped unharmed The carriage was considera-
bly, damaged.

some purchases and after having paid for them
departed On arriving at Holmes hotel, a short
distance above, he discovered that his pocket
book, containing about $40, was missing. He
thought he had left it upon the counter in the
store, but upon returning it was not to be found
and colored man who was in the store when
he first entered, had vanished very mysterious

"colored individual" and on Mr.. Jones arrival
in Towsontown the matter was placed in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Risteau, who secured
the neighborhOod but could not find aforesaid
"cOlored individual" whereupon Mr.. Jones de
parted for his home in Hartford minus the whole
