Of these boats wen. out yesterday loaded with
coal. The freight paid Is 50 ccGti too, ior
which wrltteo guarantee has been gwen that
said rate vii! bo permanent throughout the
present season Since Wllliamsport is only 81
miles roo, this place, aud therefore not one
half the dis.ause to Alexandria, fifty cents
too is really giving more rate ton than boat
men to Alexandria acd Georgetown. This Is
CONSIDERED great concession 10 the boatmco,
for boz OF these 6rus have an excellent STAND
ing 10 the trade, and one OF them alone,
psmeIs. L nhrey Il Cushwa, receive yearly be
tween 90 900 aud ~ 900 ,oos ct coal, uot g

panies TO day gave assurances that any retuc
ton Of tolls would alI ioure to the benefit of
the buaFmen. aud that they arc disposed ra her
to add something more to their comp nsatn
than to lake any advantage OF the men Mr..
