This plan has worked so well elsewhere that we ‘wonder it has never been undertaken here be- fore. In many paris of the country, it is well known, the farmer sells all nis products by commission in this way, to his great advan- tage. Mr. Baker is so well and favoraoly known to the agriculturalists throughout this part of the country that they will doubtless gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to seil their products through Dis thoroughly re- Mable agency. Mr. Baker propases algo to es- tablish a counting. room,arranged especially for the farmer's convenience, supplied with price lists of all the markets, where they may have ® convenient rendezvous, obtain information, compare notes, and in fact post themselves thoroughly with everything of service to them in selling and buying, Mr. Baker has estab- lished another most useful branch of the busi- ness in obtaining the agency for several of the leading nureeries of the couatry, and parties in need of trees can obtain all the best and most approved kinds trom reliable hands, without ronning the risk of being swindled by | traveling pediers, whohave guiled so many in this part of the country with pogns trees and cuttings. In every department of his business Mr. Baker means to deal only im re- liable articles, and especially so in the matter of fertilizers, in which there isso mach im- posture practiced. In this conection we may mention that he has obtained the agency for the cetsbrated Patapsco guano, manufactured under the express directions of Prot.

Mr. Baker procures bis supply of Peravian guano direct from the agent of the Peravian Govern. ment, and thus {s able to supply the genuine, unadulterated article. He has secured, also, carefully selected supplies of seed wheat, rye, and grasees, and is resolved to haye none but the best, Knowing the dissatisfaction that re- sults from any deficiency in this respect, where the entire crop of a season is at stake. His ar- Tangements for the supply of agricultural im- plements of the latest and most approved mod- els is so satisfactory and complete that he is enabled to rurnish anything wanted in this jine at Factory Prices. He is now receiving, and will soon have a complete stock of every- thing needed for the farm or garden in this line. vT establishment of Mr. Baker's fs a val- uabie addition to the business enterprises of the city, and as auch is deserving of support and honorable mention. (sabes THE PRoposED POTOMAC STRAMSHIP LINE. Last evening an adjourned meeting of the bus- iness men of Washington was held in the rooms of the Board of Trade, (Clagett & Sweeney's) to consider the feasibility of estab- lishing a steamboat line onthe Potomac for the produce business at which were present a number of our prominent business men as well as steamboat men, among the latter Cap- tains Ryther, Stackpole, Frank, and Miller. Mr, W. H. Clagett occupied the chair, with Mr. S. V. Noyes, secretary. The committee appointed at the last meeting reported through Mr. S. ¥. Boyd, its tary. The following 1s an abstract of th port: “By establishing 2 line of passenger and freight steamers on the Potomacriver, Wash- ington would become the sole depot of the rich farms lying slong its banks. ‘The numerous streams runninz into the Potomac would all help to swell the trade. In five years’ time all the business of the District would be concen- trated in this city alone; the prices would be lessened; the value of land along the banks of tbe Potomac would be increased; farmers would be enabled to gather their crops in the evening and have them in the market the next, morning. Lt is t necessary to begin on a large scale. Two steamers of a light draft, say about one hundred and twenty feet long by twenty-two broad, would do the business to commence with.’ Drawing loaded o: By feet of ‘water, they conld go up the numerous creeks that empty into the Potomac. Tnese two steamers could be built for about $37,000. One gentleman here, with ux to-night, offers to contract to build them for that, and will take one-sixth in stock. It would cost about five bundred and fifty dollars a month torun them. Other parties have offered to turn in their boats atan appraised valuation, and to take half their pay im stock, for they know that there can be no competition to this line: and that irs profits must pay better than the average of railroad er bank stocks.” The report closes: “The question before us this evening is, whether the merchants and business men aud Teal estate owners of Washington will take, the stock of this line row, or will walt for anotber and smarter generation to doit. Ta are no wharves or landing places for us to construct; no heavy salaries to pay: one shrewd head would direct all our business. The freight is slready waiting for us to be transported. The population of Wazbington aiting to be fed at © cost than present. The number of ebares 1s not large, and the terms can be made easy. Baltimore and Georgetown and Norfolk are looking on to see if we throw away this oppertumity. It can be determined in a few days by seeing if the stock will be taken sufficient to warrant us to commence the enterprise. For this purpose ‘we unanimously recommend that a committee be appointed to obtain subscriptions to the cap- ital stock of $200,000, of which amount thirty- five per cent. will be sufficient to carry out the project as set forth in the report, and that books be opened in the proper places of busi- ness for subscriptions to the same.” Mr. Boyd moved that a committee of five be appointed to esrry vut the reeommendation of the report but accepted an amendment by Cap- tain Miller, increasing the number to ten and it was adopted. ‘Lhe following were appointed: John Van Riswick. S. V. Boyd, Jas. E. Miller, Henry Dodge, W. L. Wall, Owen Thorne, Capt. KE. A. Ryther, Oapt. Thos Stackpole, Wm. Guinand, and William Rapley. ‘Capt. Miller moved that the committee report aplan of organization at the next meeting; agreed to. ‘The meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the committee. pea e A “BLAcK Mania” PRoposiTion.—Mr. T. Z.

Roose, at Willard’ Ho- tel, has been robbed of a lot ot cigars, till the loss has reached several hundred dollurs. All other efiorts for detecting the thief having failed it was determined on the part of the pro- prietor last night to keep watch at a short dis- tance from the stand and sea who {t was who had depredated upon his preperty. After a short while, between 12 and 1 o'clock, James Sedwitb,a white man, who has acted in the capacity of night clerk and watchman for the hotel for twelve years past, was seen to slip benind the counter, take a key from his pocket, aud, opening the cigar case, take a lot of the chorcesi, which he put into Nis pocket. He then locked the case, and was about leaving, when officer Moores, who was in waiting, stepped up and took him into custody. To-day Sedwith was brought before Justice J. I). ©. Clarke for examing- hon, and, upon a statement of witnesses, com- mitted in default of $300 for his appearance before court to answer the offence. Scdwith isa genteel looking man, of florid complexion, red hair, and goriee of the same color, He maintains much couposure in the situation in which he is placed. His venchant tor smoking good cigars may be inferred from the fact that all which he purloined were of fine quality, and sold for twen*y cents apiece. Subrequent to the commitment, an exam- ination gf Sedwith’s room was made, when upwards of two hundred dollars’ worth of fine chewing and smoking tobacco and cigars, Fecognized as Mr, Roose's property, were ‘ound therein. —.—_ THE CoLorED VoLunrege MILiTia.—The colored volunter companies of the city, known as “Company A, Washington city Guards” and “Company A, Excelsior Guards,” have been consolidated under the name of “Company B, City Guards.” The uniform ts red pants, biue jackets trimmed with red, white gauntlets-and fat'gue cap.

This morning Superintendent Richards ordered Sergeant Tait to inform Lawn that he must close big honse. and that Dis license had been revoked. It seems to he the impression that the law of August, 1°61, which prohibits the sale or giving of liquor to soldiers is pow obsolete, but such fs not the case, and the Iaw isof the same effect a3 ba- fore the close of the war. The keepers of taverns and resiaurants should make 4 note of this fact, as Major Richards has informed his men, in view of the recent dicorderly doings of soldiers, to enforce the law strictly. ——_.——_. .
