Feraouo residing out of tae city, by enclosing in a letter
the sum they wish forwarded, with the plainly written
direction to whom and wheru it Is to be paid, Will have the
same remitted.
There is a great advantage In purchasing the Society's
draft*?that the Bank has a branch in each of the princi
pal towns in Ireland, and thus the losses by discount, and
otherwise, are avoided.
The Society keeps au office at Mo. 22 Spruce street, to
which Emigrants can apply to obtain situations for which
they are tilted.
Orders from employers In the country, stating the Mfe
vices required, the wages, and the cheapest modes of con'
veyance, and giving a respectable reference, will meet with
prompt attention.
The Society will be thankful for all circumstantial and
u&rly information of any fraud, imposition, or outrage
committed on Emigrants, aud will endeavor speedily Ui

AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPT. 20.
"The Bitter lilood !"
Even uuder the republican institutions of the
United States it will take a long, long time for
this to become exhausted from the veins of
good and well-meaning n\en. The intolerance
of religious prejudice will prolong its vitality.
Acting under its promptings, several classes of
persons have, at several different times, en
deavored to intimidate us by their combined
threats, and to force us into the adoption of
their measures?how impoteutly our readers
well kuow. On one occasion, a groveling and
skulking puppy, whose cringing grin reveals his
mean duplicity, obtained permission to make
an appeal to the members of the 1toman Catholic
church to combine their influence against us. This
appeal was made through the columns of a
weekly Roman Catholic paper in Baltimore,
conducted by the Rev. Mr. White, whom we
do not know, but who we are well assured is an
accomplished scholar and a liberal and a high
minded gentleman. The avowed grounds of
ibis attack were that, in the publication of Har
dy's Notes on New Mexico, the Roman Catho
lic church was abused; yet the first line reflect
ing on that church, or on its ministers or mem
bers, could not be thoum in our columns. The
contemptible scribbler, by his false aud mean
l deception, and his assumption of the fact that
| the people of that communion in this city could
be influenced by such a libelous appeal, caused
them to blush for his covert and slinking at
tempt, and to despise him heartily, as he now
well knows.
But who that then read that paper could be
lieve that so soon as this we should be suffering
martyrdom in the cause of this same church ?
No one in the wide world. Yet here we are,
' thus signally honored.
We have already enlightened the world by
the publication of a note from one who was sur
j prised at our publishing a " Hymn to the Vir
gin," from the pen of our gifted contributor,
I Mr. Joel Austin. Now read what follows:

Gkntlf.mks :?As In your commentary upon
my text you have endeavored to prove me a
bigot, I reply, that if attachment to the pure
gospel of our Lord and Saviour Is sufficient to
establish the fact, 1 plead guilty and glory in
the charge.
It was not my expectation that my remarks
would have been noticed in your paper, and I
really and truly supposed the " Hymn to the
Queen of Heaven" had been printed without a
kuowledge upon your part of its bearing ; but
as you have acknowledged yourselves Its god
fathers, I have nothing further to say than that
I suppose I must do as better men have done
in similar oases?REQUEST THE DISCON
TINUANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH!!!
With the kindest personal feelings,
I am, yours,
All we have here to add is, firstly, thai the
writer of this note (whose nome we shall not
reveal, though h? has the manliness to aot
openly and above-board) is one of our most
intelligent and estimable fellow-oitixens, and
may often be teen in the highways that are
traversed by publicans and sinners; and, sec
ondly, that if we have any mora pa trans who
participate largely iu the spirit of dictation lie
exhibits, the sooner we get rid of them the
better. We can only operate to our satisfaction
when free from all the restraints imposed by
cliques, classes, sects, and all sorts ol dogma
tists. They are an incubus no independent
journal oau tolerate, aud the best service they
can render such a paper is to withdraw from the
list of its supporters, and then to bitterly de
nounce it.
TRAVEL BETWEEN WASHINGTON
AND BALTIMORE.
Redaction of Faro demanded.
It is our purpose to present a statement of
facts in relation to this subject that will no
doubt arouse the attention of the public to it
in such manner as to induce them to demand
the accommodations of this railroad upon terms
(at least approximating to the low charges upon
I the other railroad routes of the United States;
but we shall to-day content ourselves with
placing before our readers a couple of the com
munications that have been addressed to us by
some of our fellow-citizens.
Washington and Baltimore Railroad.
To the Editors of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen: The Board of Directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, at a
meeting held a few days since, reduced the pus
beuger fare between Baltimore and Cumberland
to $5, but left untouched the exorbitant rate
on the branch between this city and Baltimore.
Would not a similar reduction operate benefi
cially upon the Washington branch? I believe
it would. It would insure an increased amount
of travel without doubt; for many who are now
debarred of the privilege of visiting Baltimore
would then go (if the fare were reduced, sny
to $1 each way) for the sake of the trip. It is
objected that the State imposes a tax of fifty
certs upon each passenger. Suppose it does :
could not the company repay themselves this
sum and make a fair dividend out of the pro
posed rate. This would leave them one-half,
which, upon Northern roads, would be consi
dered a heavy charge for so short a distance.
It appears to me that the company evinced
rather u paltry spirit in their last reduction.
They first reduced the fare to $1.00, when,
finding that they had, by this timely stroke of
policy, driven off the competition which their
high charges had provoked, they immediately
raised it to as high a sum as they dared do
without again incurring the risk of competi
tion. Perhsps if some enterprising csr'talist
would establish a line of stage coaches between
the two cities, the Railroad company, from a
spirit of competition which would be thereby
engendered, would still further reduce the rate
of fare. I observe that a correspondent of
your paper brought this matter to tho notice of;
the publio a few days siuce, ami I desire to
keep it before them, that the Washington branoh
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compauy
stands almost solitary and alone in this era of
low charges.
Fare between Waelilngton and Baltl
more*
To the Editors of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen: By the Baltimore Sun of the |
11th instant, it is perceived that the Board ot
Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have determined to reduce the fare to
Cumberland from $7 to $o. This is good news,
and will be very acceptable to the traveling
community, and at the same time redound t??
the credit of the Company, as well as, doubtless,
greatly increase its prosperity. So tar, good ; i
but is'the Washington branch to be overlooked? |
If there was any demand or expediency for a
lower rate of fare on the one route, surely the |
same reasons will npp'y the other, and cull j
for a corresponding reduction. The Washing
ton stem, considering receipts from passen
gers, yields in proportion a much greater
revenue iu that particular than the main stem,
as will be seen from the reports of the Com
pany. Bearing iu mind that the distance or
length of the latter is 170. and the former 40
miles, it is clear that an argument in favor of a
reduction of fare in the on* case will apply
with more force to tho other: for, il 40 miles
of travel yield $L'0,000 a month, and 170 but ,
$:IS,000, (this is taken from Report for August,
in round nnmbers,) it is reasonable to suppose
that a reduction could be made with greater
propriety where in proportion the revenue is
the largest. Of course the object is an increase
of receipts by the inducement held out to the (
public to travel more frequently?a policy which
our Northern railroad companies long since
adopted with success. It is true very little is
received on the Washington branch for freight,
yet, taking into view the enormous expenditures
for repairs, cutting off curves, machinery, &c.,
on the main stem, I question whether the dif- I
ference is so great in the total receipts and
expenditures of the two as to justify a reduced
rate of fare in the one and not in the other.
I hope we shall soon learn that the Board of
Directors have reduced the fare on the Wash
Ington branch of their road to correspond with
the change in the main route, which is about
ihree cent* per mile, so that we may be ena
bled to travel to and fro for $1.20; and, further,
lhat they will authoriie the issuing of round
trip tickets, good for twenty-four hours, at
hboat $1.50, which would accommodate many
of both cities, who would frequently make ex
cursions or visits to the two places.
I*T?KX.
Stage Lines vs. Railroad Impositions.
To the Editori of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen : Observation of a growing abase
ustifies, nay, requires an exposure, that a
jroper corrective may be applied. Irom this
tection, by reason of its proximity to the lower
jounties of Virginia and Maryland, there is of
jecessity considerable travel np the valley of
Virginia, by way of Washington. For the want
?f proper competition, travellers have been
tbliged to submit to what thfey were anxionsly
ooking for a remedy ; not alone for distance
innccessarily traveled out of a direct course,
>ut the want of satisfaction in the certainty to
he transfer of baggage, where "cheek* ure
iuly to a certain extent regarded. But rail
oads have ways of their own, and even when
n want of $7'K),000?and when in a spirit of
MKiuniary accommodation bonds of as low an
amount as $260 will be given, and six per cent,
nterest granted. The evil will be first exposed,
indite remedy suggested; for it would e
hat the nntsaoce and wrong were to he instd
ously fixed upon theoommuflit/. .
At tie Rolay-hoose a porter, an untutored
isllow, employed bj the keeper of the bouse,
mthe armal of the oars from Washington, or
from the main Btem, wheels the baggage left
on one platform across the mils to uuother
place about sixty feet distance, and whether
the traveller have little or much buggage, he
actually demands twenty-five com8?has actu
ally refused less?and undertook to detain
"checks" by way of extorting his fee;?a bag
gage-master, on one occasion, showing a coun
tenance of disapproval on account of an old
lndy's baggage, under charge of a gentleman,
about being held in dure?, being the only in
stance where the fellow's grip was relaxed, in
common law, this is one 01' thelnost serious
acts to be attempted, the detention of wearing
apparel, nulenv volens, and the lawyers about
Elk IUdge hove some fine pickings ahead ; for
there is an intimate relationship between the
porter aud the keeper of the house, so tar as
appearances go. Our business is with the Com
pany. Both lines of travel are of the name
concern; they derive the common pTolit, and
it was their duty always to see to the removal
of the baggage from one pair of rails to the
other. If the proprietor of the house is not
satisfied with the profits of his stand, or the
landlord asks too much rent, the public are not
to be filched according to the European mode,
by harpies annoying travellers for improper
duos. The remedy is at hand if inquire*! for.
To those going up the Valley fr.?m Winches
ter, or, indeed, those going to Winchester it
self, to meet the sundry routes across the val
ley, they have only to take the line of stages at
Washington, which calls for passengers, (no
expenso for hacks,) and go up through Lees
burg to the great " town of turnpikes," as
Winchester is called. In coming down from
Staunton, in like manner, passengers need only
take the stage, and at bedtime are at the me
tropolis ; and all the pother of transfers is
avoided, to nay nothing of the notorious annoy
ances. The distance is less, aud the expense
is less.
Those who wish to see the scenery of the
| Potomac, either going to or coming from Cum
I berland, ctin take the passenger bouts, nnd, by
I going both up aud down, the sights missed by
night can be seen by (lay. As a mutter of
principle, let every American set his face
against these attempts of filching, whether by
porters, laudlords, or companies. There is a
way to combat these movements. WLen com
panies wish a piece of property for the accom
modation of their machinery, they are ready
enough to purchase. When they do not do
that, they can run their lines so as to patronise
the stands; but in no instance should it be tol
erated, on the score of paying wages, to inflict
those porter nuisances on travellers. And us a
last resort, in any part of the United States
passengers cun always array themselves against
these fellows by helping themselves; for um
brellas are very apt to be broken, and any fra
gile article in a vulige is very apt to be crushed.
In conclusion, stuge lines are good correc
tives to all these small-fry attempts to fixing
impositions on The Public.
N.B. The letter-writers will note these grow
ing abuses, and all will denounce them.
European Opinions.?The Loudon Chronicle
of the otli is severe in its denunciations of the
invaders of Cuba; but of the slaughter of the
fifty-two it says: '
" It would have been easy for the authorities
of Cuba to have fully maintained tLe rights of
the Spanish crown without so fearful a measure
of vengeance. However clear the ense. such
sweeping and instantaneous severity is indefen
sible, except as a matter of self-defence. But
it does not appear that any iniinediute danger
would have been incurred by ndopting a less
precipitate course: nnd, viewed in relation to
its consequences, this summary mode of pro
ceeding was most impolitic, fur it lias served to
surround, in American eyes at least, a aet of
marauders with the halo of political martyr
dom. Justice might have been satisfied with a
'ess savage punishment, ami less justification
would have been given to Aintricau hostility.
As it is, the Spuniards have put iuto operation

Cuba. The aggression of the " sympathizers"
l has undoubtedly "given the greatest provoca
I tion; but as an organized government has no
| right to be vindictive, and, us a matter of pru
dence, it would hive been far boner to avoid a
course so likely to add to the immediate danger.
The worst ealumniator of the Americana will
not accuse them of want of courage nnd national
feeling ; nor will they be easily deterred from
future aggression by the punishment of their
countrymen, especially when it has been in
flicted by foreigners."
