Ac- cording to this survey, the line of route will pass through Charles ‘county a distance of About fifteen miles.

Pollard—James Grant Held to Bail. In our dispatches from Richmond yesterday it wus briefly mentioned that James Grani, who shot H. Rives Pollard, was examined yes- lerday morning. and bailed in $10,000 to aus wer at the February term. The Stace Journal ot last evening gives some details of the exami- nation before be Mayor, and says “Before Mr. Grant had been released on bail, Mr. E. A. Pollard made bis appearance in the court-room and stated to the Mayor that he had understood Mr. Grant would be admitted to bail. He had some witnesses whose testi- mony be thought might have the eilect to cause the Mayor to reverse his decision. He then stated that he expected to be able to prove by two witnesses, who overheard the conyersa- tion, that Mr. Siover,a trend of tae Grant family, had called upon his brother at his house on the night before the pnbiication of the paper, and endeavored to prevail upon him not to publish the article. His brother said to him that the press had never felt the least delicacy abont publishing any. thing in regard to members of bis famiiy. and had dragged them all remorselessly before the public, ana bad never considered it wrong. topillory their names in full, whenever any- thiog with which rumor remotely connected them; and this course on the part of the public and the press uad completely soured lima, and he had determined to spare none in future who should lay themselves liable to public cen-ure or criticism. “You may tell Mr. Grant, how- ever,” said he, “tbat I will publish any ex planation be may choose to make, without single alteration, no matter what he may say: but I have fairly examined the facts in the ease. and find they warrant the publication, and I will not suppress it.” This conversa: tion was overheard by a lady in the honseand another person. flis brother did not hear any- thing further from the Grant family. Mr. Pollard then remarked to the Mayor that he bad no idea the matter would be so prompt- ly disposed of this morning, or he would have been present with his counsel, Judge Cramp, and the witnesses referred to, whom he hoped might be heard before the prisoner should be admitted to bail. The Mayor replied that be would give his witnesses and councel a hearing to-morrow at 10 o'clock. Mr. W. K. Watts, of the firm of Putnam & Watts, signed bis bail-bond tor $10.00), and James Grant went forth into the sualight ef the world again—and was borne to bis father’s Tesidence ina carriage which had been pro- vided in anticipation of his release.

STRIKES 1x New Yori portion of the coopers in New York and Brooklyn, it ap- pears, are ona strike, and from the following paragraph, which we find iu the Sun, it is easy to perceive that their complaint of injustice is not without reason: “One branch of the coopers of this city and Brooklyn strike this morning for their old wages. They have been working ever since last winter ior the small wages sorced upon them by the bosses during a brief season when their trade was very dull. These men, between three end four hundred in num: ber, baye actualy been twiling ten heurs aday and making oply from ten fifteen dol- Jars & week. It is preposterous to expet men to live on such pay as taat, and support their families at the present exorbitaut prices of rent, fuel,and provisions. The bosses have been getting good prices all along, and onght long ago to have given the men decent wages. Bat as they still obstinately refuse to do so, there is only one alternative, and that has been adopted.” COLD SLaw.—This delicacy, says an old, epi- cure, is best When prepared alter the following receipt.
