The COmic.IOurndl will publish an in

who was living In Valparaiso, Chilli, in

Port Famine, at that time the Chilian

young man named Mnrcum, and made
sail for the main land. On her way she
was rrcaptnred by Chilinn war vessel

British steamer Thetis had first seen the
Florida after her capture by the cOnvicts

tod Innb

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more San, dated Feb. II, says:
Several members of the select committee to
Investigate the condition of affairs in Alabama,
which has charge of the caucus bill to regulate
affairs in the South, called uron the President
last night for the purpose of ascertainng his
views on the bill. The President said the bill
had his entire approval, and he hoped it would
become law. This measure, or something
like it, was needed, a fact which he supposed
was as well known to the majority in Congress-
as to himself Some OF the gentlemen express
ed Il doubt as to the passage Of the bill, where
upon the President said even if it passed the
House and failed in the Senate, or could not com
mand u majority vote in either house, it would
do no harm to press it to a vote He believed
the moral effect OF the passage Of the bill
would be SO great at the South as to dispense
With al: necessity for executing its provisions.
What the laWless element of the South needed
wSs an Indication OF the determination of Con-
gress and the executive to repress lawlessness,
to maintain order, and to preserve life and
property. The President said, whether Con-
gress passed any measure with regard to the
South Or not, he had determined to do his du-
ty. He did not court responsibility that prop
erly belonged to Congress. but as the head of
tile government he would not shrink it. If
Congress adjourned without action it would be
a sort OF encouragement for the bad element of
the South to continue in their present course,
and it might become necessary for him to pro-
ceed to greater extremes than mere suspen-
sion of the habeas corpus. He would do what
he conceived to be his duty at all hazards,
and then appeal to the people to support
him.

In the proceedings OF the NEE

junction against tire Valley Railroad Company,
the following is found in the report of the Lex

Col. Hartman did not pretend to make any
charge Of fraud. lie wished to gain the sup
port Of Baltimore city, then when we come to
the meeting on the 22nd, if the city is not
found with the counties, you can take such &C
lion as you CHOOSE, but let us make one more
effort to save the road. He did not believe the
people of Baltimore understood the position of
the county. The city press was under the
control of the B. & o. r. r. Co.
1t is proper to state that I made no such
remark as that the Getty press (of Baliimore)
was under the control of the i. & O. Il. r

STAUNToN, Feb. 16, 1875.

Editors, Baltimore American:
In the Baltimore Gazette of the 18th inst, ap-
pears the proceedings of meeting of the SUI
pervisors OF Rockbridge County, copied from
the Lexington Gazette of the 18TH Before see
ing this article in the Gazette, 1 had written
a note, both to the Editor of the Lex
ington Gazette and the Editor of the
Stanton Vwgiaian, stating that I acas misus-
derstood in being reported as having said that
the Baltimore city Press was under the
control of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. never made such a statement,
because do not believe that the s.Press of
the city of BALTIMORE is under the control Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Roilroad Co.
At the meeting of the Supervisors of Rock
bridge county, and after the remarks of prom
lnent citizen OF Lexington, that the state.
ment in the Baltimore Gazette was garbled ex-
tracts from the communication of tile superyis-
ors and proxies Of Rockbridge county-tEe Ga
zette having refused to publish the full state.
ment as requested, said-sI believe the article
was prepared at No. Z South street,
Without wishing to provoke a controversy
with the Gazette, as to fair construction Of
the language used by me, will say that thu
assertion OF that paper-s'tllat did not speak
the the TRUTH is untrue. bell wed what
stated as the time.
l will now state what believe about the
Valley Railroad. If the city of Baltimore act
through her proxies in concert with the stock
holders in the Valley, at the meeting on the
22nd inst, and the counties and towns will
promptly do their duty. the Valley Railroad
will be leased, and the road constructed to S;-
lem, thus completing great through line to
the South, in the benefits of which Baltimore
city and the great Valley OF Virginia will be
common participants.
Very Truly,
III. G. HARTMAN.
