The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany.

The annual meeting of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company. held NJ Annapolis Mon
day, was both important and interesting. The
report of the condition OF the Company during
the year ending December 81 1874. presented
by President German, and published entire
only in the GGy,tt,. showed that It's affairs had
been skilfully managed. and that it had been
but little affected by the prevailing financial
depression. The gross revenues amounted 10
S5l7, 4l2 %, being the largest of any year since
the formation of the Company. In addition 10
the usual repairs of the Canal "A number OF i'm
provements have been completed during the
year, by which It's facilities for transportation
are greatly increased, and il is claimed that the
Canal now affords the cheapest outlet to tide
water for coal mined In the Cumberland region.
The actual number OF tons transported in 1874
WAS 40, $50. being a decrease OF only s,35S
tons from 1873, thus showing that the loss OF
coal freighrs by canal WAS fur less in proper
ton than by rail. The bonded debt OF the
Company is 81 ,699. 500, on which the overdue
interest to January, 1873. is 81 $40, 595. This
interest must be paid before any profit can
crue to the State from It's investment, and it
would be cNtuguished in about six and a-haii
y ears al the present rate Of It's reduction. The
report declares that the great necessity for the
compile success OF the work is that proper out
lets for the coal carried over il shall be afford
ed II that IS done its managers have no fears
of competition. The extension of the Canal
from Washington TO Baltimore is earnestly adj
vocatcd The whole report met with the en-
tire approval of the stockholders, and the re-
election of President German and the Board OF
Directors was unanimously voted. There have
been during the past year serious complications
between the officers of the Company and GER
tain citizens Of Cumberland in relation TO tolls,
but by well-managcd and conciliatory course
the dangers threatened have been nyeried and
harmony restored The extension from W ash
ington to this city is one of the most import
ant works now contemplated in this State, and
no time should be lost in providing for It's com
pletion. The subject has been fully discussed
here, and its advantages 70 Baltimore appeal
strongly to her citizens for assistance.
The favorable conditions of the Canal, as
shown by President German 5 report, is most
creditable to its present officers and gives prom

much money has been expended, will justify
by its benefits the great expectations of It's pro-

IndeNenden ism.

1t is a good thing to be independent. But
the independence that springs from Soreheaded-
ness, from disappointment or from pure cussed-
ness, is not an independence that is worthy to
be admired or initiated. For man to be indie
pendent because of special crankinesS of DISPOSE
ton, or because he cannot get what he wants
the sort of independence that is commendable.
Neither is it matter of peculiar merit in a
newspaper to declare its independence of party
when that party is in progress of diSintegration,
and it has got all it could out it. We dom
think, if we scan the motives of the so-called
independent newspapers, that many of them
can maintain their claims to consideration on
the score of superior political morality. A
man who quits the house he has dwelt in after
he has helped to weaken its timbers, and be-
cause in the end he finds it tumbling about his
ears, or who abandons the farm he has worked
to exhaustion because it yields small crops and
he has suffered vermln to oyerrun it, may be a
prudent man, but in leaving his house or his
farm and cutting loose from disreputable asso-
ciates he cannot be said TO be actuated by a
spirit of independence. Now, with one or two
noteworthy exceptions, the Republican papers
that have left their party, have done so on the
same principle that causes rats to desert a
sinking ship in quest of more comfortable quar-
ters TO drop metaphor. SO long as soft
places were to be had, so long as there was
patronage to dispense, and money to he made
in many occult WAYS, there We're Republican
newspapers. now affecting peculiar honesty,
who tolerated the rascalIty they now denounce,
AID were conveniently blind to tie corruption

sition, the Americans having reserved their
fire until the enemy were within eight
rods, when heavy fusilade was opened
and the whole first rank of the British fell.
Recoiling for moment, second advance
was made, which was received with a still
more deadly fire, which caused disor-
derly retreat. Again were they rallied
and were again driven back in greater
disorder than before, leaving their dead
on the ground. In the meantime the town
of Charlestown was in flames, having been
fred by bombs from the British, and the
scene had become one of fearful and terri
BILE war on all sides. But the Americans
remained cool and firm and received the
third charge of the British with the same
indomitable courage; but, alas, the anu
milton was exhausted and it was impossi-
bic to obtain more. After the last round
was exhausted, a desperate hand to hand
encounter ensued with the butts of the
muskets. and after these We're broken, with
the barrels, until the British getting in
the rear at o'clock, Prescott gave the Or
der to retreat. With much difficulty the
rebels succeeded in cutting their way
through two divisions of the British by
whom they were surrounded. 1t was here
that Warren fell. After attempting to
make stand on Bunker Hill the Amer
cans effected their retreat under a rakins
fire from the British ships and batteries
across Charlestown neck, and into safety
The loss of the British was 1854, whilst
that of the Americans was AS killed and
missing, and 304 wounded.
Thus was fought and lost the battle OF
Bunker Hill. Though in fact defeat
of the Americans, yet it had all the moral
effect of victory. The experienced and
disciplined soldiers of Great Britain in
superior numbers and under veteran Off
GERS had been driven back twice by mere
handful of raw militia organized on the
spur of the moment and without proper
arms or munitions. The result was
hailed everywhere as a substantial triumph
and the rebels felt strengthed in their be
lief Of their ability to maintain their liber
ties. Courage was given to the hesitating
and boldness to the weak. From thai
time forth the cause of our forefathers pros
pered until it eliminated in success. II
is right then that the centennial anniver
sary of this great event should be celebra
ted far and wide with all possible eclat.

III sase or Reformation and Instruction
for COlOred Children.

General John W. Horn, Superintendent of
the House Of Reformation and instruction for
Colored Children, at Cheltenham, Prince
Georges county, Md, has submitted his re-
port for the month ofMay to the Executive Com
mittee of the institution.
The total number of boys in the institution
May 3lst last, the date of the report, was l43,
two having been discharged on leave During
May eleven boys were received, eight of them
from Baltimore city, one from Dorchester
county, and two returned runaways. The two
boys discharged on leave of absence were VIM.
Tilghman, of Baltimore, and Adam Robinson,
of Frederick county, both about 10 years and
months old. While it was not thought either
of them would do anything against the law or
the peace of society, their age, language and
general department had a baneful influence on
great majority of the other boys. Boys as
old as these cannot be much improved in the
short time they have to remain in retorma-
tories.
From sixty to seventy acres were planted in
corn during the month also vegetables large
ly and some wheat. Last year S crop of wheat
will be retained for sowing as it is very fine
wheat. Early Rose potatoes were attacked by
the Colorado bug, but being vigorously fought
by the smaller boys little or no damage has
been done Capt. j. H. Hawkins, formerly an
officer under Gen. Horn, has been placed in
charge OF the boys, and Will discipline them IN
personal habits, bearing and marching, besides
his other duties. Time is spared from farm
work to labor on the public road, a part of
which has been finished, though it cannot be
opened for travel much before autumn. The
executive committee state that whilst they have
room for only 100, there are now l43 inmates,
and no money on hand to build more extended
accommodations. The report of the Board of
Managers for 1874 says: ''Whiist we expect
much from the State, we also expect "A liberal
