The News. Akthough our reports of the proceedings in Coa- grees, yesterday, are unusually brief, they are very interesting. In the Senate Gen. Houston, from the Select Committee to inquire into abuses, frauds and briberies. connected with government employees, weported that they summoned one John McGinnis as a@ witoess, but that be refused to be sworn. The @omwmi'tce wished to have the refractory gentleman placed in durance, but as it required unanimous eonsent to consider the report, the whole matter was @eferred, in consequence of the objection of Mr. Chase, the moet prominent opponent of Mr. Hale for the Presidency in the Pittsburg Free Boil Conven- tion. According to our special correspondent, now diecoveries have been made that will probably keep the commit:ce busy for awhile. The investigation of the whole system of Galphinism, from beginaing to end, will form one of the most extraordinary as well as the most useful chapters in the political and financial history of this country. Therefore, let the Belect Committee go ahead, and finish the work in @ masterly wanuer. Some thirty private bills were yesterday passed by the Senate, aud as many more rejected. A com- Muvication was received from the Secretary of the Navy, stating that he contemplated hiring the use ef the California dry dock to a company of New Yorkers. After going into executive session, the body was ccmpelled to adjourn for want of a quorum. Most of the morning hour was spent in the House in discussing the constitutionality of the Wheeling bridge. The Supreme Court having declared against this structure, the question now to be de- @ided is whether Congress can make it lawful by declaring it a post route. The only parties that are erpecially iaterested in the matter, are the inhabitants of the southwestern part of Pewnrylvania and northwestern part of Virginia. On going into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Mace, of la., gave his reasons for preferring democratic to whig doctrines; and Mr. Moore, a Pennsylvania whig, deseanted wpon the inferiority of our light houses, as compared with those of England and France—all of which had nothing whatever to do with the subject actually under discussion, which was the Army Appropriation bill. Three hundred thourand dollars were added to this bill for extra pay ffivers and soldiers in California, Oregon, and w Mexico. Twenty thousand dollars were also appended, to test the usefulness of camels, in plece of horses, on the western plains This ap- pears to be a very laudable object. Upon boing reported to the House, all the amendments were agreed to, except that about the camels, which was the subject of debate at the time of adjournment. The derpatch from our special Washington cor- respondent; this morning, contains many items of interest. The nomination of Postmaster General Hall to the Judgeship of the Northern District of this State, was sent into the Senate yesterday, to- gether with the names of two gentlemen, not Mor- mons, by the way, as Judges for Utah. No action, however, was bad upon any of these nominations. It ie quite likely that the Benate is holding on to Judge Hall's appointment in order to ascertain, if possible, whom the President will select as his suc eersor. The majority of Senators, it is understood, are not disposed to countenance the bargaining which it is whispered is going on among cer- tain dobdbtful friends of the President to creep into fat situations towards the close of the adininistra- tion. Some curious information with regard to the transactions of the Free Soil National Convention at Pittsburg, is contained in the despatch from our special correspondent at that city. He states that the democratic wire-pullers completely out-gene- ralled the whigs in procuring the nomination of Hale, who, it is reported, was induced by them to write the letter declining a nomination. It is ru- mored that be will again decline, and thus foil the intentions of bis own party. The Pennsylvania free coilers, or rather “ free democracy,” as they now style themselves, met in convention yesterday, at Pittsburg, and nominated candidates for Supreme Court Judge and Canal Commissioner. They recommended the friends of the cause, throughout the country, to organize, and fupport their ticket at the ensuing election. The manner in which these free soilers are working, in- dicates that they will do their utmost to bring out the strength of their party in the coming campaign Returns from all but eleven counties of North Carolina show that Governor Reid has been elected by about five thousand majority, His gain, so far as heard from, over the vote two years ago, is 851. The State Senate will be democratic, and the House whig Dates from the city of Mexico to the 3lst ult., represent that country to be, if possible, in a far more deplorable condition than ever. The wholeof that unhappy land reems to be in a perfect: revolu- tionary ferment. We hear of but one thing bostdes Febellions and py omwnciamentos, and that is, that the government is holding out inducements for a contract to construct some kind of a road across the Jsthmue of Tehuantepec. It is doubtful whether any capitalists can be found who are stupid enough to contract for this job with a government that makes it a point to never keep ite faith if it can possibly avoid it. By a despatch from New Orleans, we learn that two steamers had arrived there with news from California to the 16th ult., being thirteen daye later. It ie said that the intelligence is of no im- portance, but of this we are not allowed to judge, having received none of it. One or two steamers re about due at this port, with the same, if not ater advices. Hen Zeno Scudder, the whig representative for the Tenth district of Maseachusetts, has written a otter (0 bia gopstituents, in whirh he charscverives year at Pittsburg.

The Pitsburg Convention. The Pittsburg Free Soil Convention have met, adopted their platform, nominated their ticket for the Presidency, and adjourned, to fight oat their battle among the people. This third party is, therefore, fairly in the field, and we have now to consider the influence of this movement, the plat- form *and the nomination, one way or the other, upon the general result in November. The platform of the party is substantially what was anticipated: the immediate and total repeal of the Fugitive Slave law—no mere slave States—no more slave territory—free farms—cheap postages— intervention—tbe recognition of the black empire of Hayti, ‘‘on a footing with the most favored na- tions’’—arbitration in foreign disputes, instead of war—free soil, free specch, free labor and free men. Such are the substantial elements of the Pittsburg platform. It will be observed that it is intended to accommodate, not only all the practical and available stripes and shades of abolitionism and free soil, but the land reformers, the industrial associations, so called, the Irish, Germans, French and Italians, the progressive democracy, and the universal peace party. Gerrit Smith made a d -spe- rate effort to add to these fundamental principles an absolute repudiation of the existence of slavery, free amalgamation, the election of postmasters by the people, and the universal establishment of the Maine Liquor law; but he was overruled. The Women’s Rights associations, unfortunately, had no delegates on the ground, so that all hopes of any decisive progress in the fundamental right of the reforming sisterhood to wear the breeches and run for Congress, must be given up for the present campaign, But, as Gerrit Smith, Fred. Douglass, and others, of the real Simon Pure abolition red republican school, are to have a convention of their own in Buffalo, on the Ist of September, possibly the Woman’; Rights party—in pants and petticoats, in socialism, amalga- mation, and infidelity—may find, on that occasion, a good opening fora practical movement upon the Presidentiai question. Nor should we be surprised if even yet some such fourth ticket as Gerrit Smith and Lucretia Mott, or Fred. Douglass and Abby Kelly Foster, were to be brought out, in full Bloomer costume, upon the track, heads up, drums beating, and colers flying. For the present, however, we have to deal with the Pittsburg Convention party, and the probable effect of their platform and ticket upon the whigs and democrats in the election. Their platform, though not as exaggerated as it was supposed it might be, is still radical enough for the conscien- tious adherents of the anti-slavery societies. It ie strikingly similar, in its general plan, to the Buffalo platform of 1848. And, though the Con- vention bas declared that its object is ‘‘ neither to aid the whig party nor the democratic party, but to defeat both,” its inevitable effect must be the de- feat of the one party or the other. The real object of this third party is, by prostrating one or the other of the old parties, to rise upon its ruins, and reconstruct from its remains a mighty abolition party, which shall lord it over the North, and over the govermment, and exterminate slavery in tho South, or drive the South out of the Union, or into all the horrors of a war of races, like that of St. Do- mingo, which has finally resulted in the coal black Empire of Hayti. But, whatever of plausibility there is in the Pitts- burg platform for rallying together a formidable par- ty in this campaign, it is pretty effecfually neutral- ized by the nomination of John P. Hale for President. In every view of the case it is a farce, and ospe- cially after he had, in a formal letter, in advance of the meeting of the Convention, declined the honor of being the free soil candidate most emphatically. There was no profit in the thing, and he did not want it. Again, the nomination of such a man as Chase, of Ohio, a man of superior abilities and consisiency of character, or even a man of the earnest and fear- lees fanaticism of Giddings, would have been a striking evidence of the zeal and ear- nestness of this outside party; but the nomination of Hale reduces all their proceedings to a joke. Hale is a witty, jocose, jolly sort of a ehap—a free | eoiler by accident—the practical joker of the Senate, and of the respectable bar-rooms at Washington—a clever man, but a ‘hale fellow well met,” and caring seriously no more about the Fugitive Slave law than Martin Van Buren ever did of the Buffalo | platform. But Van Buren had something of the standard abilities and character of a national states- man to bring to the work in 1848, compared with | which the character of Hale is that of a political | mountebank—the clown of the circus, whose voca- tion is to turn everything into a farce or a joke. The consequence of such @ nomination, in conjunc- tion with various other causes, possibly will be the lose to the free soil ticket of 200,000 out of the 500,000 voter cast for Van Buren in 1848. We may count certainly upon the loss of about 100,000 (the barnburners) in New York alone, who will follow Vun Buren back to the democratic ticket. Bat with even @ hundred thousand votes, the anti-slavery ticket, we apprehend, will yet hold the balance of power between the two Baltimore candidates, and decide this Presidential electin. The important question, then, recurs—Which of the two great parties will be victimized by this Pitteburg movement? Where are the materials of this third party to come from? We very much fear that the mass of them, particularly in Massachu- setts, New York and Ohio, will be drawn from the original rank and file of the whig party, composed of the conscientious proselytes and converts of Seward and his coadjators, resulting from their adoption and propagation into the whig creed of all the ivms and political abominations which have risen up inthe North during the last twenty-five years. Many of these people, thus converted to abo- litionirm, land reform, free farms, free~soil and what not, are con ious believers in these here- sies, and will go for principles as superior to mea. The original stronghold of the whigs in Ohio—the Western Reserve—was, in this way, in 1348, turned almost bodily over to Van Buren. He received at least fifteen thousand votes in that section in 748, that were dead against him as the democratic can- didate in 1840, and mostly for Mr. Clay in 1844. Those men voting for'Van Buren in 48, will be very apt to stick to Giddings and Hale in 52. Furthermore, in epite of all that Seward and bis organs ean do, we are afraid that more of his conscientious disciples in this Btate than can well be spared, will go for Hale, in obedience to “the higher law” of oon- science, and it is plain to see where his supporters are to come from in Maseachusetts. Notwithstanding, then, all that has been done to prevent it,we are fearfal that this Pittsburg party will result in breaking down the whig party of the North, and in re- organizing, from its remains, a grand combined abolition party, with Seward as their candidate and champion for 1866. Hale de- sires to cure the democratic party of its slavery affiliations ; but we are afraid it will work the other way. We shall sven see the drift of the tide. Tha proccodings of the British with regard tothe The fisheries, as @ gross outrage upon our citizens, and one that must be fully answered by the English New Pr atk Convention of Reformers and - ,~slosephers, in Pants and Petticoats. for the last fuur days the usually quiet little city of Newark hes presented an extraordinary bustle | and movement, arising from the presence of a couple of bundred profesrors of isme—male, female, and losopby ond woman’s rights, under tho title of “The American Association for the’ Advance- ment of Education.” All parts of this sec- tion of the Union have contributed to fur- nish members to the copvention; but the great bulk of them, of course, hails from New Eogland, | Brolifie of such intellectual monstrositics. These people seem to labor under the hallucination that they are engaged in matters of the last importance to the present and al) future generations, and that it will be entirely owing to their exertions if the world does not turn awry on its axis, and all the men, women and children of this continent, irre- trievably fall into a state of ignorance and imbe- for whose enlightenment they annually export scores of missionaries and Bibles by the million. The present is the fourth convention held by the aseociation—the subject of their deliberations and orations, at the present time, being ‘the relative value of the old and new systems of collegiate edu- cation.” With this as their text and object of con- vocation, we have seen four days consumed in twad- die and humbug, having little, if any, reference to the point before them; and of course the result of this great display will only be a new illustration of the old metaphor of the mountain in labor. The truth iz, that the addle-headed theorists and reformers who put themselves forward in this and otber such “isms,” peculiar to this section of coun- try, are actuated by no other motive apart from that common to ill-balanced minds, namely: an un- healthy craving for notoriety, and a desire to swell out their natural proportions, and magnify their petty importance, like the frog in the fuble, even though, morally, they may be menaced with the same fate. Ifthe members of this association, who have been attempting to figure so conspicuously in the con- vention, were rationally sincere in the objects they pretend to contemplate, they would depute their duties to a committee of practical experienced men, who have made the education of youth their study and profession, and the dullest of whom would be competent to make wiser suggestions, and more sen- sible regulations, than the combined wisdom of this enlightened body of visionaries. Mr. Emerson may make long winded unintelligible speeches about class books and text books, and may probably have some general vague ideas of the management of public schools; but he would have shown just as much good sense, if he had secured the brilliant services of his quondam protegé, Lola Montes, to lecture before the august assembly, and advance her projects for the culture of the youthful mind and the proper education, in literature, polite accomplish- ments and morality, of the future mothers of Ameri ca. Madame, the Countess, was not engaged in her professional duties, and would, p:obably, if invited, have condescended to enlighten the obtuse intellects of those dull brained dreamers, and given them a leseon from which much advantage might have been derived ; but perhaps the vanity of those who played the principle réles in the Newark comedy prevented them extending an invitation to Lola, lest the pale glimmering of their own genius should be totally eclipsed by the comparative splendor of that great and shining light. As it is, however, they have only given the public an evidence of their silliness and incompetency to discharge those duties they have been co ridiculous a3 to aseume. The youth of America will not be cramped, even by the drag chains sought to be put upon their intellectual progress by such ‘old fogies”’ as constitute the asso- ciation, and who have, perhaps, forgotten anything sensible that they may have learned in their own satchel days, and are now utterly oblivious and ig norant of the elastic springs of the youthful mind “The world is governed too much”’ is a wise saying, and bas just as much application to the little occu- pants of the school room as to those children of a larger growth who play their part on the stage of life We would commend the maxim to the “Association for the Advancement of Education.” The very be:t way, gentlemen, you can carry out the design of your society is to do absolutely nothing,and then education in this country will go on in spite of you. Ifchangos of system are necessary, apply yourselves to practi- o»1 men, and depute to them what little authority to interfere you are invested with; but, in the name of common sense, don’t be striving to put your fingers in the pie, but just attend to your own busi- ness. A convention of ladies and bloomers was also in ses- sion in Newark—under the direction in chief of Mise Catherine Beecher—contemporaneously with that of the male reformers. We know not what subjects came under discussion by this fair and spirited as- semblage; but probably they prattled about every conceivable topic, from petticoats and pantaloons to Kossuth and intervention. Comparatively sen- sible, however, were the members of the feminine conclave, since they had the modesty to keep their proceedings private, and to exclude the re- porters of the press, though we dare say that their speeches and resolutions evinced a greater degree of good sense than that which distinguished the other body. They committed a great oversight, however, in not making the Countess of Landsfeldt president, ag she would have been able and willing to let in a great flood of light on their nar- row ideas. The proceedings of the convention terminated last night, and we would counsel the members, in all sincerity, and regard for their cha- racters, as eensible men, never to commit such a ridiculous piece of folly as to hold another conven, tion, and repeat the farce we have just seen them perform in Newark. THe Fourrrite PHavanx in New Jensey— Great News ror Summer Excunsionists — Within a few hours travel of this city has exirted, for several years, a most interesting community of men and women, whose social ideas and usages differ, in many essential respects, from those of ordiuary life, but who enjoy a greater share of pleasure, happiness, } and freedom frem restraint, than falls to the lot of every day humanity. This association is termed the North American Phalanx, and has been formed on the socialist plan of Owen, Fourrier, St. Simon, and philosophers of that school. Not only has the great mass of our citizens been hitherto ignorant of the beautiful working of the system, as developed by this Phalanx, and of the state of earthly paradise in which its members live, but, for the most part, they have never even heard of its existence. It was only very recently that we, ourselves, discovered what excellent inducements the establishment hold out to tourists, summer visiters, and Sunday exeur- sionists, to resort there for days, weoks, or months: and we hasten to perform our duty to the public, and apprize all lovers of romantic scenery, liberal insti- tutions, comfortable quarters, and handsome Bloom- ers, where they ean enjoy all these good things to the fullest extent, and in the most economical manner. The rush to the Phalanx will, we fee! assured, when its superiorities as a visiting place become known, be very great, and we therefore think it right to give our readers, who may wish to spond to-morrow there, information as to the best way of reaching it. The steamer Jobn Hart leaves this afternoon, (and all week days,) her pier at the foot of Murray street, at 4 o'clock, and arrives at Keyport at 64 P.M. Well equipped stages and carriages are in waiting, at Keyport, to convey visiters to tho Phalanx, a distance of eleven miles, over an excel- lent road, the whole oost of the trip being but seventy-five cents. Hore thoy are received at tho establishment with the most cordial weloome, and waited on by young girls, in Bloomer costume, all blushes and smiles, who conduct them to neatly furnished apartments, which thoy may oooupy s+ Jong as they choose to remain. No matter what number of visiters may go, the community will be cility more deplorable than that of the barbarians | Bloomere—who bad convewed there to discuss phi- delighted to receive and accommodate them—the | ladies, im the exgess of politeness and hospitality, being ever ready to surren.cr cor bwa rooms and camp out. The table d’hote is furnished wit a plentiful sup- ply of all that is generally to be sound in the rill: fare of first class hotel, with the omcuphom >: liquors and wines, which are never 1304 in¢@e os- tablisbment ; but, instead of these beverages, Deau- tiful young Hebes present she guests with glasses of pure spring water. Nothing is wanting to make every person comfortable and happy that the most polite attention to the wishes of all cansupply. And how pleasant it is to be waited on by one of these emiling Bloomer lasses—anticipating one’s wishes, placing whatever dishes are desired immediately be- fore one, and doing all this with such an air of grace and elegance, instead of having the dining hall dsrkened with grinning niggers, snapping away the dishes, and refusing to attend to the orders of the guests without being foe’d for their services, as is the case at Newport, Sara- toga, and other fashionable watering places. There are many romantic walks and drives in the neigh- borhood, good sea bathing within a short distance, and the charming society of the handsome and amiable girls of the Phalanx may always be enjoyed. And then, on Sunday, in addition to all this, the visiter will be entertained with a sermon from Mr. Dana, Mr. Greeley, or some other literary charac- ter of the Fourrierite school, on Socialism, Spiritual Philosophy, Platoniam, or the commandment of “Love one another.” One of our correspondents recently gave us, in his letter, a deseription of a Shaker community in Lebanon, which forms a complete contrast to this Fourrierite phalanx. The Shakers, in their vows, renounce “the vanities of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh.” Perpetual chastity is one of their cardinal virtues, and their aim is to extinguish the race of man on earth, by dircounte- nancing the birth of babies. Now, the Fourrierite phalanxes take a diametrically opposite view of the matter. They are anti-Malthusian in their principles and think that the population of the world is too small. They would seem, therefore, to have been provided as a corrective to the Shaker philosophy. Whether their idoas in this respect are exactly ortho- dox ornot, they certainly have much the advantage of the Shakers, and endeavor as far as possible to make their abode an elysium on earth ; and such it will, to a certain extent, be found by those who pay them a visit. We would advise such as may con- template a trip to Staten Island, Fort Hamilton, Fort Lee, or Coney Island, to morrow, to forego their intention, and spend the day with the fine men and pretty maidens of the North American Phalanx. THE LATE FLARE Ur BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND Secretary or StaTe.—Some of the Boston jour- nals deny that there was any flare-up between President Fillmore and Secretary Webster, on tho return of the latter to Washington, from his codfish- ing excursion, with the British Minister, down East. Satisfied, however, of the correctness of our Wash- ington correspondent’s report, we insist that there wasa flare-up, and sufficient cause fora flare-up; or, if there was no flare-up, why did Mr. Webster proceed, the very next day, to sell off, or send off his furniture, and to break up house-keeping in Washington. The French Minister, Poussin, quar- relled with Secretary Clayton, and was ordered off; and the very next thing which he did was to sell out his household and kitchen furniture. Chevalier Hulsemann, before leaving Washington, did the same thing, after his quarrel with Mr. Webster; and now that Mr. Webster himself has been selling off, or sending off, his goods and chattels, we hold it as prima facie evidence that there has been a flare-up between him and the President. This is what Kos- suth would call a logical conclusion. There were sufficient causes between the President and his premier for a flare up. They did not agroe upon the fishing question. Mr. Webster had been iesuing his official proclamations from Franklin and Marshfield, in speeches and paper manifestoes, when the President was of the opinion, all the time, that the State Department was at Washington. ‘hey did not agree upon the guano question, upon which Mr. Webster again took the responsibility of laying down the law, without the advice and consent of the President. They have differed, also, about the crimi- nal proceed ngs upon the Gardiner claim, which is a very mysterious piece of business ; but, worse than all, President Fillmore had the presumption to stand in the way of the nomination of Mr. Webster by the Baltimore whig convention. There was matterin all this sufficient for a flare-up, anda flare-up they had, or why did Mr. Webster, next day, proceed to sell off, or send off, his household and kitchen furniture. That’s the question ? We rejoice to hear, however, that the trouble has been reconciledfand that Mr. Webster is in statw quo. Itis also reported that in a few days he will return to Marshfield ; and this is another mystery. If he does return, what is to become of the codfish question and the guano question? The fact is, we are afraid nothing can be done with Mr. Web- ster till he is fairly in the field for the Presidency. He ought to have a chance. Let his friends, then, put him forward without delay. It will satisfy him, and may result at once in averting a war with Eng- land and Peru. We shall bold his friends respon- sible, if there is war. Tue WensTeR Movement IN GorGiA.—It ap- pears that the whigs of Georgia have yet to act in reference to their ticket for the Presidency. Tho party is divided between Webster and Scott. The Webster men are to hold their State convention on Tueeday, the 17th instant, and the Scott men are to hold theirs at the same place, the day after the Webster men, £0 a8 to have the advantage of allthe loose materials of tp Webster party. In the end, however, the Georgia democratic journals are of the opinion, that only two candidates will be ran in Georgia—Pierce and Webster, and that General Scott will be dropped entirely. We adverted yos- terday to the Webster movement in North Caro- lina since the late election, and the Webster muve- ment in New Orleans, and to the card of George T. Curtis, giving us every assurance of the firmnoss, for Webster, of ‘the solid men of Boston.” We gain repeat, we are glad to hear all this, and par- ticularly glad that the Massachusetts conservative whigs do not intend to abandon Mr. Webster. The next step is, for the Webster men in Massachusetts, in this city, and everywhere, to put forth an indo- pendent Union electoral ticket for Mr. Webster, and give him a fair chance. Let that be done, and the result, at least, will be to convince the people of Massachusetts that Mr. Webster cannot be spared from the councils of the nation, They will then return him to Congress, where, like Mr. Clay, he may yet hold a position higher than that of the President of the United States. Let the Webster men como forward. Now is the time for action. Why should the North hold back when the South are already in the field? Personal inteltigence.

At the first board, Erie Bonds, 1868, advanced 1 per cent; Canton Co., 4; Farmer s Loan 2; Florence and Keyport, 34; Michigan Central and Michigan Southern Railroad, 3 each; Long Island, 3; Norwich and Woreester, 3 Hudson Railroad, 3; Stonington, 3; Erie Railroad, %; Harlem, 3; Ulster Mining Co, 14. This is a lead mining company, in Ellenville, Ulster county, this State, which is said to have a very rich vein of ore, 90 favorably located, * that it can be most profitably worked. St. Lawrence Mining Co. advanced to duy 34 per cent. For some tima past, this stock has been inactive; but in consequence of several of the latert reports from the mines having beem very favorable, there has been more inquiry for the stock, At the first board, Delaware and Hudson de- clined 44 per cent; Reading Railroad, {. Nicaragua Transit opened at a declme of %, and closed at a decline of 1:4 per cent. This looks like @ movement for a special object, which undoubtedly is to depress the stock, to increase the supplies of certain parties The return of the Commissioners and Engineer of the Nicaragua Canal Company, from Eu« rope, has probably given rice to the operation. The de- tails of the arrangement made with English capitalista will not transpire until after the next meeting of the ca- nal board; but we lesrn that they are of the most satis- factory character. There is no doubt but that the work will be commenced immediately and progress with the greatest rapidity. At the second board the market throughout was ex. ceedingly buoyant. New Jersey Zinc was in very great demand, the sales amounting to nearly three thousand ehares at an advance of 14 per cent from the epening. Nie caragua advanced 34 per cent. and very little stock offor- ing; St. Lawrence Mining Company, % per cent; Stoning- ton, 34; Harlem, 34; Erie Railroad, 3s; Norwich and Worcester, 4; Morris Canal. 34;. At the close the tenden- cy of prices was upward It appears from a report we have seen that the mines of Lake Superior do not cootain the richest veins of cop- per ore in the country by any means. A company is about: being organized to work a very rich vein of copper, ree cently discovered by an old apd experienced Cornwall miner, in Carrol] county, Maryland. within thirty mileo of Baltimore. A. P.
