The construction of the double track to Cumberland will be completed in 1866. This is a work that will be a vast advantage to the coal interests, as well as to Pittsburg, when the Connellsville Road is fully completed. The construction of another road from this city to Washington is opposed on several grounds. The construction of a road down the Valley of Virginia, connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio, is commended to the attention of the Board and this community. Should such a work be undertaken, we doubt not it would be largely promotive of the interest of both Vir- gimma and Maryland. After the sad exhibit which Governor Pierpont gives in relation to the State of Virginia and her interest in rail- ‘Ways, we should think the people there would seize eagerly on such a cheap way of develop- ing the fertile resources of the Valley.

Anew legal question growing out of the emancipation of we negroes, has been raised in South Carolina. Itis whether debts incurred for slaves purchased before the proclamation took effect are now collectable. Many of the people of the Palmetto State are deeply inter- ested in this matter, being stillin arrears on old purchases from the Virginia slave dealers. The.subject has been bronght to the attention of the Legislature, which it is expected will make provision for partially discharging the creditor's claims. The reyenue derived by the Government at Macon, Georgia, for the duty of two cents per pound on cotton for six weeks preceding the firet of November, amounted to four hundred nda fifty thousand dollars, and itis estimated that the duties will reach more than half a million of dollars additional during the months ot November and December.

In yesterday's paper we gave such portions of Mayor Wallach’s comprehensive letter to the Secretary of the Interior as we had space tor, and now make a further abstract of the remainder of the document. THE MARKET HOUSE. As the right of the corporation to use the ground occupied by the Center Market has been questioned in Congress, Mayor Wallach gives considerable awenuon to the subject, and shows conclusively, by a patient and thorough examination of the evidence, commencing from the foundation of the city, that up to a very re- cent period the executive and legislative an- . 1.50, $1.25, worth $2.50. eighty members in attendance, and the pro- Y¥ the’ Rip Boom oe en's, Women’s, Misses’ | thority of the country has recognized the right | ceedings were therefore preliminary.

It is not ible to conceive that either the President, or the trus- tees, or Congress, were to build and manage a market-house, and it was then, as now, em- pbatically a part of the powers held by muni- cipal corporations. hat Gen.

Governments are strong and active. Five-twenties, of 1862, were firmer, u foreign quotations, and closed x equally certain. We have, then, the act of Congress which “plainly” authorized the President to set apart this reservation for the purposes of a market, the act of the President executing the power so vested in him, and the cts of this corporation from time to time im- proving the ground and erecting the buildings thereon; and it can scarcely be contended that under this resolution you are required to pre- vent them from pulling down those old, an- sightly and dilapidated buildings, thus aba- ting a nuisance already borne too long by this community, and erecting new and fitting ones in their place. es STRIKE OF THE OysTER SHUCKERS.—A few dayssince an association of oyster shuckers, consisting entirely of colored men, s: work with the determination not to open oys- ters unless they received the sum of twenty five cents per gallon. For some time past they bave been receiving twenty cents, and at this rate the best hands can make three dollars day, which is more than the pay SEWERAGE.
