Tiie Wirz Trial.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. —The Court assem
bled at the usual hour, and the testimony for
the defence was resumed. Capt. S. 11. Wright
and Judge llall, of Georgia, were recalled for
the defence, their evidence being directly in
reference to the treatment of the Anderson
ville prisoners by the accused.
Tho trial is expected to last several weeks
longer. The examination of witnesses for the
defence proceeds slowly, the Counsel taking
care to thoroughly sift them all, for the pur
pose, it appears, of establishing the following
facts, viz:—
J hat the conduct of the accused was goner
ally humane; that he was sick and absent
from Andersonville when many of the alleged
atrocities were committed; that be was not re
sponsible for the vaccination which resulted
so disastrously; that lie never maltreated any
body, nor acted wilfully and maliciously; and
that, although the laws of the prison were
stringent, and there was a lack of physical
comforts, the old Dutch captain—as his coun
sel calls him—was not responsible to the ex
tent contained in the charges; in a word, that
the evidence for the Government will not jus
tify his conviction.
A subpoena for General Robert E. Lee was
sent oft' this morning, and it is expected that
lie will arrive here by the middle of next
week.
General Howell Cobb and Ex-Governor
Brown, of Georgia, General Joe Johnston and
Colonel Robert Ould are also summoned to
appear as witnesses for the defence. It is
understood, that the last named wlii testify in
relation to the exchange of prisoners, and it
is expected to show that it was not the fault of
the rebel government that it was not sooner
effected.
In view of the notoriety of the parties, ad

WASHINGTON, Oct'r Ist. —It is understood
that after the trial of Captain Wirz is ended,

confined and maltreated.
The U. S. Court of Claims will commence
its October session to-morrow.
It appears from the recently published for
eign correspondence that the Chinese Govern
ment, by proclamation, prevented the Ala
bama and other rebel cruisers from entering
the ports. The Hoard of Foreign Affairs
would not permit them to do so, for the rea
son that a treaty of peace and amity exists
between the United States and China, and
that American citizens going there to trade
should not sutler injury from any one, nor
their ships or goods be destroyed.
Convention of Freedmen nt Raleigh.
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 29, 1865.—A con

To correspond for a journal which no mortal eye
has seen, ami which has taken shape and tone onb
in the brains of its publisher and editor is 110 easy
task, and yet I am about to undertake it, hit or miss.
I have seen it stated in a Baltimore journal, which
I supposed to be posted, that the new paper is to b<
"neutral in politics." I trust this is not true in tin
sense in which too many things called "newspapers"
seem to understand and act upon it, to the making ol
themselves the most stale, Hat and unprofitable ot
nondescripts imaginable. If an editor's taste, or lib
publisher's requirements, necessitates an avoidance
of party politics, let his journal at least prove itsel!
independent of the politicians. To quote the motto ol
the late Mike Walsh in his memorable 'Subterranean,
let it show that it is "independent in everything—
neutral in nothing." So only may journalism hope
to he felt and respected in an age like the present.
But think of the idea of writing a letter for tin
press from this great central cauldron of politics in
the extremest souse of the word, without saying any
thing at all on the topic! That would be only
equalled by the reticcney of a correspondent writing
from Rome, under the very shadow of the Papal
Palace, with the "thunders of the Vatican" rever
berating in his ears, without even as much as men
tioning the name of the Pope or his council, or from
some retired, classic and artistic work of the same
renowned city, without making some allusion to
works of art or artists. And so I must have a word,
if 110 more.
Wc are just entering upon the fall campaign of our
State politics. And a decided muddle it promises t<
give to the view of the outsider. To change the fig
ure, it is calculated to remind one of the loculity on
the Potomac, which the raftsmen used to call "Point -
no-Point."
The Democrats pow-wowed first at Albany. It is
famous, among other things, fur the description of it
by an early geographer (Pinkcrton I think it was;, as
" a town with the gable ends of the houses turned to
" the street." And the managers of their Conven
tion would seem .to have relished the idea so well
as to have imitated it by putting the "gable ends" ol
what might well be mistaken for Republican resolu
tions foremost in their political arrangements, in
stead of the "square fronts" that they used to show
us, while they have put forward several Republicans
as candidates in about a corresponding attitude —the
explanation of all of which seems to be that they in
tended thereby to " take the wind out of the sails "
of their opponents, or to "out flank" them, as their
purpose is variously illustrated by figures pf speech
drawn from honcster and more useful spheres of ac
tivity. Had the Republicans, who met this week at
Syracuse, which is their pow-wowing headquarters,
shown equal tact, they would have done what prom
inent members of their Convention, of the "radical"
wing, as the classification goes, advised, and accepted
most of their platform, too —in fact, every plank in
it, except oue containing the usual self laudation oi
partisans, and at least four of their candidates, and
would have thanked them for saving them so much
trouble.
But the managers were wanting in tho necessary
courage and diish for this. Instead, they have hunt
ed up fresh candidates, and put forth a platform
which admirably illustrates the classic saying of vox
pnetcrca nihil —for a more discreditable concatena
tion of words, signifying nothing, has not met my
eye for a long while, muddled as party platforms are
generally designed to be! They met in the "Cityot
Salt," but it was of little value that they did so, for
salt won't savo them any more than the Democrats,
from the contempt of the sensible men who, in many
cases, will go to the polls, voting their tickets re
spectively, with their eyes shut, for nearly everybody
has such a habit of voting in this city, that they are
bound to vote the "regular ticket" of their party,
even though they have to hold their noses as well as
close their eyes in doing so!
The American Institute is holding its customary
Fair at the same place where the Sanitary Commis
sion held theirs—most unfortunately, in view of the
great and damaging contrast which the visitor to
both will not fail to realize in spite of his desire to
think the best of the present exhibition. But this is
only one of tho misfortunes of the management ol
the Institute's Fair. They have a President whose
only qualification for the office was his name as a
Brigadier in the aiota militia, for which he always
seemed to be lacking in tn*. necessary energy. You
will readily imagino the effect of such a presiding
officer at the opening of such an enterprise, acting in I
the most humdrum way possible—introducing the
orator of the occasion with half a dozeu nurds mum
bled by the leaden Bps of a statue resembling human
form, and walking stiffly from the stand, when the
speaker concluded, with uot even so much as the
words, "the Fair of the American Institute is now
open."
How much deponds on tho spirit which a presiding
officer infuses into such an occasion. A dull chairman
is like a dull military commander, who takes the very
courage out of his men which nature may have put
in thorn. Then again, this fair was unfortunate in
the selection, at the suggestion of its military Presi
dent, as orator at its inauguration, of another mili
tary man (General Sickles), who, with all his ability
and attractiveness in the sphere of politics, where he
has had a life-long training as a speaker, showed
himself utterly out of his place by talking all the
while of the war Mid its arts, with little of direct or
t appropriate rrittswe to Atari* tf ptwt, Sri As
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, ISGo.
"gallant Dan" showed that he knew how to take care
of No. 1 hy his eulogies of President Johnson and
Secretary Stanton, Lieutenant General Grant, "and
all others in authority," as the Episcopal prayer-book
runs. Not that they did not deserve all that he said
of them, or most of it, only that it showed that ho
thought of agricultural matters little as it suited his
purpose to speak of them —for he certainly ground
some sickles, if not axes, on the occasion, as if lie had
(lone the like before !
The attendance has been very thin at this Fair,
until last evening, when the presence of another
General, ("lighting Joe Hooker,") which was antici
pated, drew a great crowd to sec hiui, while prevent
ing one another from seeing the inevitable big
squash, or hearing the "noiseless" sewing machines
that we read of. but so seldom see at exhibitions
end their name is legion at this Fair. This General
did make a brief, appropriate speech, in a corner—
that i.=, in the collation room—in which he proclaimed
that farming had always been his favorite pursuit.
He declared that it was his delight not to order others
to do the hard work and select the easy work for him
self, but to take a hand at the hardest of it. Bravo,
old soldier-farmer! You told the truth figuratively
then, at least —for you would not have to go far to point
out fields, now famous in recent liistoryy, where you
have done considerable hard work in the way of mow
ing !
There is a will case pending before the Surrogate's
Court here, to which no less distinguished a personage
than the widow of President Tyler is a party on the
one side, and a brother of her's on the other—they
i>eing children of Mi's. Gardner, a wealthy lady. The
brother claims to have long had the sole charge of his
mother, and to hvae deserved a very different treat
ment from what his mother's will, as it stanus, gives
him —lbr it seems his sister has been left a sort of
lion's share, if not nearly all of the property. This,
he alleges is the result of fraud—that his sister, who
was in Dixie while he was here spending his money,
and time for the comfort of their mother, as became
an affectionate son, came back at the eleventh
hour, and tried to supplant him —in fact to poison his
mother's mind against him, so that she might leave
him out in the eokl at her death.
lie further alleges that, having failed to accomplish
her sinister design in this way, she sent for a favorite
lawyer only tb'-ee hours before their motherdied, and
when she was almost in artirulo mortis, and incapable
of making a will, and procured her signature to the
will in dispute, which he insists is no will of his
mother's at v 11, but virtually that of his selfish and
dishonest sister, Mrs. Tyler. Under these circum
stances, the Surrogate has refused to admit it to pro
bate, and so there is another chance for good pick
ings by the lawyers.
When John Tyler married Miss Gardner—at loast,
when lie was elected to the Vice Presidency, he was

Letter from Philadelphia*
[Correspondence of the Baltimore Daily Commercial.]
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.1805.
One of the most pleasing public incidents that has
happened since the war, and certainly one of the
most beneficent in its augury and results was the |
meeting of the Odd Fellows North, South, East, and
West, at the dedication of the Wildcy Monument in
the "Monumental City." Friendship, Love and
Truth" were there displayed in their true colors, and
an example given which all classes, ranks, societies
and churches and parties may well follow. Evident
ly Odd Fellowship has flung a ray of its divine vir
tues on all classes of society, and the influenco of
that true brotherhood will, I assure you, not go un
appreciated here in the City of Brotherly Love.
They have set an example which Christians of all
denominations will do well to follow, and will follow
if they obey the precepts of their Divine Master.
I knew Past Grand Sire Wildcy well, and when I was
a youth, reading Taw in Baltimore, many a time
have I stepped down into his restaurant (then
we called it oyster cellar,) to get sonic refreshment.
How often Colonel Watson, who was killed at Mon
terey, and who was then a student of law also, has
accompanied me.
Subsequently, your correspocdent removed to Cin
cinnati, Ohio, and had the honor of delivering the
econd address on the anniversary of the Order that
ever was delivered in Cincinnati, Samuel Yorke
Atlec, now, I believe, of the Treasury Department,
Washington, having delivered the first, To the
second celebration, Mr. Wildcy capao, upon invita
tion of the Order in Ohio. It was a grand occasion,
is you may suppose; every honor and courtesy was
xtended to the founder of our Order, I was struck
with his spirit of personal independence—tliaj ■
he wts not ashamed of his original vocation, as no/
honest man is, for all honest men's vocations are re
spectable—more, honorable. We had a dinner
iftcr the oration, and the worthy Grand Sire said to
me:—
"When you hold forth at the dinner, if you mention
ne, don't fail to tell 'em that I have helped you t >
many an oyster—it will make those honest, poor
brothers stir their stumps and keep time to the prin
iplcs of the Order, that they may advance to."
What a beautiful illustration it is of the institu
ions of our country that so many men of humble
auk in their start in life have monuments dedicated
o their memories. Franklin, the printer; Henry
JI ay, the "Mill boy of the Slashes," and the humble
•Vildey, who founded an Order in this country whose
nineiples are eternal, and which, with his name,
vill long outlast even this marble record.
As an ancient Odd Fellow, who has not been in a
odgc for many years, (owing to my travelling much
ibout and not taking my card with me,) I felt my
icart warm anew to the Order—with a glow of pride
uid pleasure which I have not often experienced to
is great an extent. Hereafter will not only Friend
hip, Love and Truth make their pilgrimage to the
•Vildey monument, but patriotism will repair there
0 learn a lesson which knew no North, nor South,
lor East, or West, but embraces the whole country,
.'eace to the ashes of the good Grand Sire, and all
lonor to the Order which has set so noble an exam
tic of patriotism in these trying times when it was
o much needed.
The action of the Richmond Presbytery speaks
veil for the patriotism of the Southern Presbyterians.
LOU will find too that the Episcopalians of the South
vill respond to the fraternal foelingsof their brethren
f the North. Bishop Johns' address to tho Council
f the Episcopal Church of Virginia, lately convened
it Richmond, expressed, I believe, the sentiment of
."irginian Episcopalians; and Bishop Atkinson, of
North Carolina, always was Union in sentiment, and
ias lately so expressed himself to the North Caroli
iian Episcopalians, who, I have no doubt, will ap
prove of his action. From personal observation I
•an ..say that love of the Union is much stronger in
North Carolina and Virginia than many of us at the
North are willing to believe, or can be made to
>elicve —the force of circumstances (and particularly
uch circumstances a* civil war,) makes many a man
c silent where it would cost him life, liberty and
roperty should he utter his convictions.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. John Given, one
>f our City Commissioners, who has been nominated
or re-election by the Republican party, has resulted
:i a curious verdict, which I fear will damage the
•arty somewhat.
Given was charged with fraudulently altering the
-üblic record. The jury acquitted Given, but put the
•osts of the case on his shoulders. A celebrated law
er said, with more pith than poetry, that the Divine
uiiid was supposed to know everything except what
vould be the decision of a jury.
This Given jury puts one in mind of the story of a
ury who were trying a man fof horse stealing in
he olden time, when such a theft was punishable
vith doath. From previous experience the jury had
earned that in a trial for murder if they found the
arty guilty of manslaughter that they would save
lis life, so to save the life of the horse thief they
•rought in a verdict of manslaughter against him. —
LO save Mr. Given the consequences of a penal law
nfringement, they have found him guilty only up to
he amount of paying the costs of the easel It takes
1 Philadelphia lawyer to win such a verdict and a
'hiladclphia jury to find it.
I learn that the Southern trade, which is reviving
.cry fast, is mostly attracted to New York. This the
Philadclphians do not like we may well suppose, and
the press here has made many comments, and given
nany reasons for it; but the truth is, apart from
•ther causes which are patent, when a Western and
particularly a Southern man, comes Eastward he
hinks he has not been Eastward at all if he does not
;o to New York. For New York offers all kinds of
ittractions to all kinds of people, and each one after
lis kind may find his speciality there. Almost all
men get more or less fast when they leave home, and
are sure to mingle some pleasure with their business,
while those who make pleasure their busines find it
in the Empire City, and men are like sheep—they go
with the crowd. Thus you will find when, under the
uew order of things in the South, the tide of enum
eration sets Southward, which I have no doubt it will,
then emigrant ships will be landing at Norfolk, and
not at New York. I feel satisfied that under the
new order of things in a few years the South will be
as prosperous, if not the most prosperous portion of
our country.
Speaking of New York, behold the enterprise
among the newspapers there. The Tribune wwic#,
Herald, World, News— papers of all sb Jc3 of opinion
—what enterprise, energy and talent they exhibit?
Compare these papers with tho Philadelphia or Balti
more papers, why they are as far ahead as the Empire
City is ahead in population.
Your enterprise has many well-wishers here. Com
petition is the soul of business. And where there are
great principles to be maintained and upheld, those
who have characters to lose, as well as money to
make, should answer to the cry of "Watchman, what
of the night?" from the citadel of a free, fearless and
independent press. AULD LANG SYNE.

THE 1.Y.V1 t.t HATiO.Y OF THE Vl!liltf
t'AW MM", TO MVRKPOOI..
Never, it seems to us, was n great and
pre-eminently worthy commercial enterprize
opened under morefavorablenuspices, and with
a more hearty accord of good wishes from all
ranks and classes, than that which on Satur
day last claimed the attention of this commu
nity. J lie effort to establish an American
line to Liverpool—the daring return to the
caargc where so many have failed—seemed to
be attended with every favorable augury
which could encourage even the most scepti
cal; and had it occurred in those days when
from the heavens and the earth divinations
had to be sought to indtcate the final result of
any enterprize, the participants and the mul
titude would have retired to their homes satis
fied in the fullest manner with the splendid
promise given.
1 he day was ushered in, with 110 cloud upon
the sky to give the semblance of a frown; but
on the contrary, with the glorious sun shining
in all his splendor to give cheerfulness to the
occasion, the fine ship, freighted with so manv
generous wishes, moved, to the minute, from
her moorings, and as she steamed majestically
and swiftly down the harbor, followed by her
escort with streamers fluttering to the soft
breeze of the bright autumn day, with cannon
speaking forth a glad acclaim, it seemed like
a mission of good will to Europe and even to
the world itself: the promise of that glorious
era in the history of human affairs when peace
shall claim her high and liolv prerogatives,
making the world of humanity one in good
feeling and generous sympathy, when "the
nations shall not learn war any more."
Favored with an invitation to he present at
the opening ceremonial of this great enter
prize, we repaired toward noon of Saturday to
Henderson's wharf, where the Somerset was
moored, and with steam up waiting her de
parture. With a cordon of police officers
drawn across to prevent any interruption to
the needful arrangements for despatching her
promptly, the usual bustle of preparation for
a long voyige was witnessed, as trunks and
essentials n countless forms were hurried
aboard. In the very act of being turned
out ot tlx: hands of tho shipjoiner and
upholster, we found her u beautiful craft,
thoroughly fitted with every convenience
for first a: well as .second class passengers,
every thing indicated liberality of expenditure
and good taste, without indulgence of that
tawdry siy.e of cabin-fittings which in too many
instances, nf late years, seems so absolutely
out of plact. A beautiful model, and substan
tially built, she justifies to the uttermost the
character incidentally given to us of herself
and consols, by her projector and builder
many mouths before she_was thought of for
this line, aid it needed—additionally—only an
inspection tt her powerful and compact engine
as it acted almost with the smoothness and
comparative stillness of clock-work—so little
jar was thtre in its movements—to know and
feel, that in her and her belongings, the Com
pany have a vessel well calculated, for many
a long year, to carry out their boldest behests.
As the time approached—l 2 o'clock —for
her to east off, tho company invited to see her
out of the river repaired on board of the
ditlerent boats selected for the occasion.—
The revenue cutter, commanded by Cap
tain McGowan, was brought to the wharf
amongst others, and soon congregated on
her decks were those, with Mr. Garrett at
their head, who had been chiefly instrumental
in consummating the enterprise. Amongst
others besides, we noticed Commodore Dor
nin, Hon. Edward Webster, Collector of the
port; the Naval Officer, Mr. Reese; the Sur
veyor of the Port, Mr. E. Fulton; Mr. Latrobo
of the Baltimore bar: Mr. Wm. Prescott Smith,
Messrs. John King, Jr., John L. Wilson, W. C.
Quincey, W. G. Woodside and L. M. Cole, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with other
gentlemen variously distinguished for their
prominence and public spirit in the commu
nity. Glancing around the harbor, the scene
was animating and magnificent. The cutter
itselt was decorated with flags, and large num
bers of the neighboring ships had donned their
gayest bunting for the occasion, whilst the
tine ship liprself, the object of so much inter
est, gaily bedecked with national ensigns, the
cross of St. George at the fore, showed by an
occasional puff of steam, that slip was panting
for the long race across the Atlantic.
The hour came at last, and as the shrill
whistle sounded her departure and the lines
were cast off, from the national war ship, the j
Alleghany, and the revenue cutters in port,
came the thunder of cannon: the tugs whistled, |
the multitude cheered, the little fleet moving j
down the harbor, the noble ship being the cen
tre which attracted the gaze of all. As she
passed Fort McHenry, leading the van, that
representative and glorious stronghold of the
Government, paid the compliment of its thun
ders as she steamed proudly past; and then,
at least, we were indeed, made to feel as we
gained the more open roadstead, and looked
back on the crowded port, that the enterprise
might be said to be fairly inaugurated.
The escort followed her to North Point, look
ing fairly down the noble Chesapeake; and
each little craft as it took leave with seeming
reluctance, gave her the parting, aud received
from her an answering cheer, the revenue cut
ter, her staunch attendant, being the last to
quit her; and it might have been deemed an
augury of good for a speedy passage, to see
how soon she disappeared down the bay, a long
line of black smoke being the last indication
ot he* position and progress.
And now with the good ship fairly started,
other matters claimed the attention of the party
gathered on board the cutter. The gallant
commander of the vessel, Capt. McGowan,
had had a splendid collation spread in the
cabin, and as the fine air from the bay had
whetted every appetite, seldom was a more ap
preciative party gathered to do justice to hos
pitable intents. It was a regular Maryland or
Chesapeake Bay "spread:" a liberal and choice
supply of every good thing, from "devilled
crabs" to all else that could tempt the most
fastidious taste; and as the edibles disappeared
and the champagne corks began to fly, it was
evident that something else was on hand, some
thing in the way of sentiment suitable to the
occasion. A few moments lull, and then the
proceedings were further enlivened by a toast
addressed by Capt. McGowan to President
Garrett, the latter responding as follows :
Captain McGowan said that he must not permit
this interesting occasion to pass without proper ac
knowledgement. He therefore proposed "The Com
merce of Baltimore, the health of Mr. John W. Gar
rett, and success to the Baltimore and Liven" 01
line of Stoainships." ..
Loud calls being made, John W. Garrett, C'd-.- a '°

Ohio Railroad Company, to whose unar- u a, 9 u ' ' °
his fellow-citizens were indebted t'<y the inaugura
tion of the enterprise of the line of steamships be
twixt Baltimore and Liverpool, he bilged toi ac
knowledge the enthusiastic approval ol .he gentle
men present. He begged further to acknowledge the
courtesy of Captain McGowam and ot the Collector
of the port of Baltimore, (Colonel M ebster.) for their
invitation and arrangements for the most agreeable
trip, joining in the escort ol the fcomerset upon her
first outward voyage. [Appßuse.J
It was peculiarly interesting that so speedily after
the close of the terrible struggle through which we
have passed, we have *e satisfaction ol inaugurating
on this day a granAmumph of peace. [Applause;]
that we have lo r the purpose ot honoring
the first voyage "f the first steamship sailing to Liv
erpool from Baltimore, (applause.! It was a peculiar
ana improve feature connected with this enter
prise, that the steamship Somerset, thus auspiciously
sailing upon her peaceful mission, was recently a ves
sel oi war, which had, under the successful, rapid and
skillful hands of our Baltimore mechanics, been con
verted into a first-class seagoing vessel in the inter
ests of commercial advancement and prosperity.—
[Applause.] We feel that we are aiding in the de
velopment of the interest of Baltimore and of the
State of Maryland, and that we ape adding to the
strength of the country. [Applause.] We feel that
afterour people have for years been engaged in gigan
tic military and naval efforts, that we can now devote
the same energy and the same high qualities, to fur
thering the grcaf interests of the country in the paths
of commercial grandeur. [Applause.]
The United States during the war have rapidly fal
len off in their aggregate of tonnage, as compared
with the other maritime nations of the earth. Great
Britain and France have gained with equal rapidity
in the proportion of tonnage engaged in commerce,
and it is a happy inciden:, that the city of Baltimore
which has been heretofore distinguished in the march
of scienco and progress, which had originated and
constructed the first great railroad on this continent
which had possessed the first line of telegraph, the
first gas-works and the first water-works, should be
first to inaugurate, alter our great civil strife, > line

The Baltimore .and Ohio Company was advised
that the enterprising merchants of Baltimore had
already ordered, and would have prepared goods for
nearly every branch of business, to furnish a full re
turn cargo for the first ship from Liverpool to Balti
more. (Applause.)
Mr. Garrett said that on such an occasion, he
would not detain the company with a speech, and
would only add it was most sntisfactorv that the
auspices under which the first ship sailed had been
so agreeable, and that tie 4 enterprise was fone in
which all our est i zen's had so cordially united, that
its success must be assured. Such success would not
tail to realize the most important and permanent re

in addition to the earnest co-operation of our com

planse.)
William Prescott Smith, Esq., Master of Tnunpor
vr £ ° c and Ohio Railroad, followed
Vr rctt - "e said there was a singular feature
aoout the circumstances under which the Somerset
had departed to-day for the shores of Europe. He
believed he was right in saying that it was the first
time upon which any combining of Government
authority had been made to give cclat to the inaugu
rauon 01 a purely commercial and civil enterprise.
\ e had had the army ol the United States —that vast
and victorious machine—represented here to-dav
through orders from Washington, with its salutes of
gratulation from Fort Mclleury. The gallant old
GeneralMorris)yesterday remarked that he regretted
tie could not lire one hundred guns instead of thirty
six, which is the national salute —representing the
thirty-six States—though for his (the speaker's) part,
owing to the disturbances of the past few years, he
was scarcely aware of the exact number of States
now in the L num. [Cheers.] Yet the General fixed
thirty-six, and regretted it was not a hundred. Then
we had the navy, with all its gallant achievements,
represented by that good old ship, the Alleghany,
which had tired its salute in honor of the event. The
treasury Department, too. was represented •> the
gallant Captain (Met rowan) who inaugated this fea
ture ot the occasion, and who was responsible for
whatever boring" might incidentally happen the
company. That Department was further represented
by a lato able and eloquent member of Congress, who
now occupied an honorable position in that Depart
ment, and which, through its esteemed Secretary '
most cordially recognized this great event. The gen
tlemen to whom the speaker referred was the lion.
Edwin \\ cbster, collector of customs for the port of
Baltimore.
The Hon. Edwin Webstersaid that it was most agree- j
able to respond. It was exceedingly |deasui)t to him, i
iis a citizen of Maryland, to see this great enterprise
inaugurated by the citizens of Baltimore, and by such
citizens—men of such character, commercial standing
and monetary position, as to give promise of its mosl '
successful prosecution. He was not, however, present
so much as a citizen of Maryland, as he was as a rep- j
rescn tativc of the Treasury Department of the United
Mates, lie had received orders from the Secretary of
the I reasury that, as this was a work inaugurated in
the interest and commerce of the country, it should
be recognized by salutes from all ihe cutters in the
port; and it was more especially in obedience to this
order that both Captain McGowan and himself wore
present on the occasion.
Mr. Garrett had well remarked that the Govern
ment of the United States arc deeply interested in
this enterprise. The War Department has spoken
from l'ort Mcllcnry, the Navy Department has
spoken by the guns of the Allegany, and the Treas
ury Department has spoken from all it* revenue cut
ters; and ho must say, in allusion to the Po.-toflice
Department, that these steamers were to carrv out
the mails of the United States. [Applause.] It was
agreeable to know, as a Marylander, and as loving
the good old State, that the Government of the
United States was doing all that it could to foster the
interests of our great metropolis.. I *p|duuM>.i Mr.
\\ ebster concluded[hv pffcriu* ihu following: "The i
Navy of the UultcU States, as represented hv that
old sailor and gallant ofliccr. Commodore Dornin."— !
[Applause.]
inc Commodore, in a few neat remarks, acknowl
edged .Mr. W coster's toast, returning thank: for tho
handsome maimer in which "The Navy" had been
mentioned, only hoping that the toasted would ever
be worthy of the confidence of the toasters. Unac
customed as he was to speaking he could not sit down
without expressing admiration for his friend on
tho left, (Mr. Garrett.) a gentleman who had h .i
as large a nharo m Inaugurating mis enterprise, and
whose previous great services connected with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, had attracted the at
tention and approval of the whole country, and
whose efforts in the future, he hoped, would bo us
successful as iu the past. [Applause 1
Mr. Garrett said that as an indication of the inter
est taken by the Postffiooe Department in this enter
prise. ho begged to submit the following telegram,
which he had received late on the preceding night
from the ilon. W in. bennison, Postmaster General:
x our dispatch received at nine o'clock thi- cv.-u
--ing; too late for me to see any of my colleagues of the
Postofflce Department."
"1 deeply regret not being able to join you to-mor
row, but thank you for your very kind invitation, and
wish your new line of steamers the greatest success
and prosperity.
*'W. DEyyiaox."
In this connection, it was proper to state that the
distinguished head of the Postotfice Department liui
expressed his high appreciation of this enterprise,
and that, as soon as the Company could arrange tie
day for sailing from England and from Baltimore, the
line would be embraced in the international pcstal
organization with Great Britain, and be announced
by the Government as a "United States Mail line."—
(Applause.)
The Hon. Edwin Webster next proposed the health
of .John H. li, Latrobc, a gentleman who had distin
guished himself not only in connection with railroad
matters and steamboat lines, but also as one of the
bar at Baltimore—a bar which is known as one of
the most distinguished in the United States.
Mr. Latrobc remarked that perhaps the only claim
he could make to such an honor grew out of tl c fact
that he was the oldest railroad, officer, in consecutive
service, in the United States, having commented in
April. lSlio. lie was present at the laving f the
corner-stoneoi the Baltimore and Ohio Hailnml l.v
Uliarles Carroll, of Carrollton, and was also ire-ent
"ii the completion of the road to Harper'- I't ij v.
Amidst the embarrassments of that period, tlu motto
ot the railroad enterprise then was that used in the
l-reiieh Revolution It will go forward." and
he felt sure, would the enterprise that they had tiii
day assembled to inaugurate. Mr. Latrobc stated
that in view of the fait that all -p. lies must neces
sarily be brief, he would propo-..- "The through line
irom Cincinnati to Liverpool v-i Baltimore.*'
Mr. Garrett said that in view of the presence of a
number <t eminent representatives of the press, he
begged to propose "The Press of Baltimore—distin
guished lor its ability, and distinguished especially
for sustaining our great works of internal improve
ment and the progressive enterprises of tho day."
Mr. Wales, of the ('tipper, responded to the {oast of
Mr. Garrett by reviewing the ctfprU of Baltimore to
bring back and foster a trade which her geographical
position proclaimed should !,e hers, referring espe
cially to that of East Tennessee, when even before
the day of railroads found its way to Baltimore, lie
felt sure that whatever the press of Baltimore could
do would, as heretofore, be ebccifully done to hasten
forward and uphold all enterprises of this character
in which the means of our community would embark
Mr. Woodruff, assistant superintendent of the New
Jersey Railroad, followed Mr. Wales hv some amus
ing remarks, and concluded by offering a toast to the
health ot hi-iriend Captain McGowan. at \\honi the
first--hot of the war was fired—the captain beiii" at
the time, ill charge of the ".Star of the West."
(.apt. McGowan was not at hand, however, at the
moment, < being, like a good sailor,) looking alter hi
good ship. Mr. Um. P. Smith remarked that as the
ships ol this line were named in honor of the coun
ties ot the Mate, and the two first after those noble
old counties ot the Eastern 6hore—Somerset and
Worcester—he would offer as a toast, ''The Eastern
bhore ot Maryland." This was responded to by Gen.
lilghman, of ialbot county.
au Gcn ' ?% hm ? n th ' lt on behalf of the Eastern
Miore ot Maryland, it afforded hint great pleasure to
acknowledge the compliment which had been paid
his section ot the Mate, in the name of the noble
steamer whose departure had brought this pleasant
party together. It was an u.ic, .r on i; lllirv
character. He felt, as he doubted not all lelt, tnat it
was the commencement of a new era in the prosperity
of our city and of our .State.
Ten years ago, when attending a commercial con
vention in the city of Charleston, he had then the
good fortune, as the representative of the commer
cial interests of the city of Baltimore, to predict and
give the assurance that the first line of Southern At
lantic steamers would be started from thecityof
Baltimore. That prediction had this day been veri
fied, and we were indebted for its verification to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, [cheers,]
which is the grand element in the prosperity •!
Baltimore. It was a most fitting circumstance that
the railroad which was the pioneer in railroad enter
prises in this country, should also h\ v prov ed to be
the first to extend it* connections to the shores of
Europe, if there ere no other grounds lor the as
surance that this enterprise would prove successful -
who can doubt its success when we see the founda
tion on which it has been established ? He fclfc iU >
he had already stated, that this day would
rate a new era in the prosperity of our city and our
State. ,
Without detaining tho company furtKr, he would
offer as a toast, "The City of Baltimore May she now
assume that position to which he geographical ad
vantages so richly and fully entire her.

We have only '--me and space for a few re
marks additio-* a b and that is of appreciative
acknowledgment for the opportunity afforded
to pur'-cipate in a scene so well calculated to
inspirit every one with hopes of a better fu
oure for our fair city; and little remains to do
but to wish anew the Somerset a pleasant
voyage and speedy return. That she has
every prospect of a making a quick trip we
may be assured, since Maryland products will,
we trust, illustrate on the other side of the
water, the rich natural advantages we have
here for quick sea voyages in the rapid pro
duction of steam, Mr. Garrett having ordered
of Mr. Boyce—the owner of the George's
Creek Mine—the coal for this special occasion.
May we not hope, in conclusion, now that Bal
timore is at last showing herself, in this line,
that the Cunarders aud vast numbers of other
steam craft will call on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and Locust Point for their supplies;
that a new era will indeed dawn upon Balti
more with the events we have had occasion to
help commemorate.
INTERESTING CEREMONY.— The laying of the last
