BALTIMORE, May I'D, 1853.
The Democratic State Central Committee met
at BaInum's Hotel To- day-quitc full attendance
and agreed 10 have the state convention to
nominate Governor aud other officers held on the
18th Of September. Nothing else Of special mo-
ment was done. There was some sham talk about
unihcaiion and harmony Of the party heneeior-
ward, but this was moro OF sham than reality, as
every one knows II Is easy 10 talk and make pre-.
tenees and promises but not 90 easily TO have them
carried out, especially when there are 90 many
contending aud dispuiaiioua factions In the party.
IL 10 well known by tho leaders that without
greater harmony than has existed In tho party the
chances OF its defeat at coming elections are de-
cidedly ominous.
There continues much anxiety, both Ia and out.
aide his congregation, regarding the probability
Of Rev. Mr.. Randolph. rector Of Emmanuel p. T..
ehurch in our city. accepting the office OF assist,
ant bishop Of Virginia, Go which he has recently
been elected. His friends especially members
of his ehurch-are greatly exercised on the sub
ject aud will do all in their power to retain him.
lie now gets $4,000 salary, aud u Is said this will
be considerably augmented if he consents TO re-
main. Such confederation may have some
effect, rs tho salary as assistant bishop Is only
$1,000. The honor. however. aud high eompli-
ment paid 90 Mr.. Randolph may have y weighty
influence In taking him away from baltimore. rs
there Is possibility of his Tising 90 tho bishops
full chair At no distant period. lie Is aTdcntly
beloved by his congregation here who almost Wor-
ship him.
The recent terrible cyclones aud still more un-
usual SHOWS and snow storms Ia several portions
of the West are really surprising. Winter has not
only been nesting in the lap Of spring. but has
verged harvest and midsummer closely as 10 be
almost upon them. We read also of fros,s. SHOWS
and ice in not distant southern States within the
past few days. where, in fact the period of har-
vcsting is nearly at hand. Such things have
rarely if ever before been in those regions.
Let us hope the growing crops and vegetation
have not been 80 much injured as appTchended.
Two great events are TO come OF Ia the next
few days-one Is the celebration of the opening of
the new bridge across the East river between New
York aud Brooklyn; the other. the coronation II
the Emperor % Kn..ia n"xt Saniay. H. sseh!.ee
turc, skin and magniiceuee the bridge has no
equal in this or any other couBiry. The Russian
Empcror's coronation has probably never bccn--
or will bc-surpasscd 10 the wor,ds history. Ia
is also q most critical period, swaying or osciila
ting between princely Pomp. wealth. grandeur aud
magnidcencc. aud apprchcnsions Of most fearful
disasters. revolution aud bioodshed or apprehcnl
ej assassination. Truly may Il be saii in this
casc-uncasy Is the head tha, wears the crown.
A., however, regarding this occasion, csil fore
bOdings have been ~ many. as generally the ease.
when the dreaded moment arrives all dagger or
evil may have been discounted and the splendid
pageant pass o1 ptrthcaliy, happily. triumphantly.
learn with pleasure that Miss hate VI. Jones.
tho accomplished daughter of Dr Jones, has
agreed 60 give repetition of the Cantata of the
Flower Queen, at the Academy Of Music. On Sat
urday afternoon. Junc ~. IL will be participa. J..
ted In by the same scientific and amateur artists
young girls. ladies and gcntlcmen-who were in
the drst performance given few weeks ago at the
Academy. There has been very pressing desire
that Miss Jones should again repeat this highly
interesting and beautiful representation for her
special benefit day or afternoon perform
ance. that the many who could not attend the
first, given at night. may sc IL in matinee.
The Parker Abrahams great Law suit, involving :
over SiaO. .OOO and possibly some crimiuaiity. has
been finally compromised by Mr.. Abrahams agree.
ing 10 pay twenty five per cent. of the whole
amount which will cost him over $4,000. This
Mr.. A. asserts he agrees - for the simple pur.
pose Of avoiding further troutlc and weafisone
litigation. which NJ best would entail heavy ex-
penscs.
The new portion II the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad between this city and Philadelphia will
soon be put under contract aud rapid construction
between the two cities aud pushed vigorously 60
completion. II has not ye, been fully e xel upon.
but the strong probability is the new road will
the harbor. With ears, engines. etc on boats
at or near where the present crossing IL made.
between Locus, Point aud Canton. Ii, however.
would be greatly preferable 10 the people Of Bal
tmore If the road passed through entirely by rail
and not leave us--secmiasly--out in the cold.
We want all travellers to coEe into our city and
spend some time aud money with NJ.
lam glad TO learn that the Maryland Central
Railway, in which Baltimore aud adjoining coun-
ties are 90 much interested. il progressing very
favorAbly in every way. and that there will be no
difficulty in obtaining the required additional
means 20 complete IL TO Delta. IL will, as I glad
ly learn. be only short time until the cars will
be running between Baltimore aud Belair--also
the romantic and pic,uresque Rocks Of Deer Creek.
Excursions 10 both these and other points on the
road will be made this summer
The Baltimore base ball nine have been losing
ground terribly in their contests with other
clubs in Phiiadelphia, New York and elsewhere
All confidence seems 90 have been lost in them
suspicions are strong that they have been selling
out The fact is this Baltimore mine are not
Baliimoreans. There are doubts if even one Of
not much pride i. felt in them in any shape. and
none whatever az Baltimore boys.
The excursion season by both water and rail
will very soon be ia full play with our citizens
who enjoy this kind of pieasan; amusement. Ex-
tensiye preparations are making to accommodate
all participating in these excursions.
The Memorial Days in memory both of the
Union and Confederate patriots who lost their
Lives in the late war, give promise Of being very
generally observed here this season. Prcpafa-
tions are active to s,rew the grave. with flowers
and other embloms of affection.
attn glad 20 notice that our markets are already
quite we'll supplied with fine native strawberries.
The prospects are that they will be In great abun
dance and of superior quality.
The Indications IN nll parts Of the country Of
ihero being full wheat and corn crop this season
are very cheering. II nothing unfortunate hap
pens the yield will he fully up 20 what has been
expected and desired. II is not likely that the
late cold weather has done any very serious harm.
