Before this suit was commenced Air. Garrison proposed to Air. Y'anderbilt to submit the case to arbitration, but the offer was declined.

LOCAL MATTERS. Removal. Pioneer Hook and Ladder Compa ny. it has already been announced that Pioneer No. 1 Hook and Ladder Company had purchased and had in course of alteration and repair a house on the west side of Harrison street, between Baltimore and Fayette streets, designed for a truck house.

The repairs are not yet finished, but the house is in a sufficient state to allow the removal of the apparatus from their Id place. The removal took place on Thursday night, when the company and invited guests were regaled with quite an elegant entertainment in the shape of a collation. Brief speeches were made on the occasion, and many toasts drunk with much gusto. Mr. II.

B. Jones stated the object of theassemblage, and stated that they had now got space and room enough for their accommodation the old house yvas too small, not being of sufficient capacity to hold the apparatus. The house, thus far, ha's been fitted up yvith a most commendable spirit of economy, and the company are determined to keep within their means. "They noyv can, and intend as soon as possible, to obtain another truck to run in case of accident. Attached to the truck house is a building which is the bunk-room of the most active members, containing sleeping accommodations for thirty-two members.

These are always on hand ready to march at a moment's warning. The entertaiment was got up by the members themselves, and was the result of' a contest in a spirit of rivalry, No. 1 and No. 2, parties belonging to the company, being the contestants. No.

Porter, of Baltimore county, yvas driving along the Reisterstown road, on his way to this city, the horses became frightened in consequence of the explosion of powderfrom aquarry, and dashed off at a furious rate of speed. Mr. Porter endeavored to check their course by drawing the reins with all his strength, but that prov ed insufficient, and they continued on until their flight yvas intercepted by a heavy wagon, the driver dexterously drawing up his team across the road near the first toll-gate. The hind wheel of the vehicle came off during the flight, causing Air. Porter to fall out, by which he sustained a very severe fracture of the right arm, and contusion on the right side of the head.

He was carefully conveyed to the residence of his uncle, Air. George YY'ilbur, on Pennsylvania avenue, where the services of Professor Smith were availed of, the limb being skillfully set. The Second Street Church. For several months past a number of men. under the direction of Messrs.

Todzwer Hunt, have been engaged in the painting of the Rev. Dr. Ileiner's church, Second street, and the work is now completed, giving that old but handsome structure a beautiful appearance. The exterior, including the steeple, has been tastefully clothed in a rich brown color, whilst the ornaments of the steeple are painted white, tipped with gold. The difficult and hazardous job of raising the fish, weather cock and balls off the lofty steeple, about 170 feet from the ground work, for the purpose of gilding them, and replacing them in their position, yvas admirably accomplished by Mr.

Jacob Miller, a yvell known rigger of Baltimore. The ohiirch will be opened "to-morrow, on which occasion the Association of Defenders of Baltimore in 1814 wi ll attend in honor of the approaching of September. Incendiarism. During a late hour on Thursday night the residence of Mrs. Sophia Bullner, situated on Aisquith street extended, was fired, doubtless by one of the incendiary bands yvhich seem to infest Baltimore at the present season.

It appears that a window in the back part of the front building was forced above the fastening at the upper part and a large bundle of inflammable material thrown upon the floor, having been previously ignited. The smoke arising from the flames produced such a suffocating effect that the children who slept in a room immediately above commenced crying, which alarmed one of the ladies of the family, who, awaking the servants. Immediately descended to the first story and promptly extinguished the flames, not however until a large hole had been burned ia the carpet. Friendship Engine House. In despair of receiving sufficient aid to erect a new engine house for the present, in place of the one recently burnt, the Friendship Fire Company have propped up the walls of the old house, covered it with common boards, boarded up the windows, and are going to do the best they can under the circumstances for the preservation of the They have certainly acted most economically in the premises, however lightly they may esteem the architectural beauty of the building.

In order to correct false and exaggerated statements regarding the Condition of things in Kansas and the acts and purposes of the Government of the United States, and. to show the precise truth in both respects, the Union of to-morrow will publish the following interesting correspondence: Department of State, YVashington, August 26, 1856.

Sir: The present condition of the Territory of Kansas renders your duties as Governor highly responsible and delicate. In the instructions heretofore communicated to your predecessors in Febeuary last, in the annual message to Congress of the 24th of the previous December, and in the orders issued from the YYar Department (printed copies of which are herewith furnished) you will find the policy of the President fully presented. It is first, to maintain order and quiet in the Territory of Kansas; and second, if disturbances occur therein, to bring to punishment the offenders. Should the force which has been provided to attain these objects prove insufficient, you will promptly make known the fact to the President, that he may take such measures in regard thereto as to him "may seem to be de manded by the exigencies or the case, it is important that the President should be kept yvell informed as to the state of things in Kansas, and that the source of his information should be such as to insure its accuracy; you are therefore directed by him to communicate constantly with this department such facts as it is deemed im portant to have early known here. You will cause to be transmited by telegraph, as well as oy man, The President indulges a hope that by your en ergy, impartiality and discretion the tranquility of" the territory will be restored, and the persons and property of our citizens therein protected.

I am sir. YY. L. AIarcy. His Excellency John YV.

Geary, Governor of Kansas Territory. In a letter to the YY'ar Department, of Aug. 22d, General Smith speaks of exaggerations relative to contemplated attacks, but says that "on the assurance of both the Governor and Alajor Sedgwick that there are eight hnndred armed men Weil at Lawrence, who can be increased in twelve hours to twelve hundred, and that it is expected they would attack and destroy the capi tal 01 tne Territory, i.ecompion, 1 nave oraereu l.r. Johnston second cavalry to go tnere, wiin all the troops at Fort Leavenworth, except a small company; and have ordered all the men trom ort Kliey, except a small garrison, 10 me same place. I have sent down to have all the troops, recruits and others at Jefferson Barracks to be sent here, and will send them and any companies of the sixth that may arrive to reinforce the command on the Kansas, if necessary.

A large force mav prevent any violence, wuust a siuan one might tempt to the commission of it." He further savs: "I enclose also a communica tion from an officer of militia on the northern border of the Territory, showing haw contradic tory ana inconsistent are tne accounts spreaa over the country, for the party that Lane brought from Iowa is on the northern'border and on the Kansas at the same time. Col. Sumner's regiment cannot now muster four hundred men. in cluding Captain Stewart's Company on its yvay to ort Laramie, and a detachment unaer l.ieut, YY'heston en route for Fort Kearney, with the Sioux prisoners. Lieut.

Col. Cooke's six companies have a little more than one hundred horses." In a letter from Gov. Shannon to Gen. Smith, dated at Lecompton. saying he had just returned from Lawrence whence" he had been with a vieyv of procuring the release of the nineteen prisoners that were taken, he also savs he sayv in that place at least 800 men who manifested a fixed fmrpose to demolish this town.

He remarks that le kneyv they intended an attack, and that too in a verv short that it would seem that the business of "whining ouF' as it yvas called, the pro-slavery party had been commenced. Under these circumstances, he requests General Smith to send from the Fort ail of his disposable force. Alsior General Richardson of the Kansas mili tia, of August savs. to General Smith: "In addition to the extra "herewith enclosed, I have received reliable information that a state of ac tual war exists in Douglass county', and that in other parts of the territory within this division rouaenes ana other flagrant violations 01 iav are daily occurring bv armed bodies of men from the northern States. In the absence of all information from the Governor of the territory, I have taken the liberty of exercising the authority in me vested 111 cases ot invasion, oy ordering out the entire strenght of my division to rendez-vouse at various points of the District to receive further orders." General Smith, in his instructions for the offi cer in command of the detachment of the L'nited States troops ordered to assemble in Le Comp-ton the requisition of the Governor to repress insurrection, concludes as follows: "The Gen.

begs and directs you to avoid as long as possible anv appeal to arms use every endeavor in your power to bring those who are in opposition to tneiayvs ana a sense 01 tneu error, especially avoid small conflicts and consider the shedding of a fellow citizen's blood as the greatest evil that can happen except the overthrow of law and right which must end in civil war. But when 'the necessity of action and the employment of force does 'unhappily arise employ it at once with all the power and rigor at vour command, but continue it only until vou have suppiessed the insurrection, and then interfere to prevent any cruelty from others. The Governor of the territory should, if possible, takemeans to keep the prisoners arrested under his author ity, and such as may hereaiter De taKen. 1 neir custody embarrasses the troops and diminishes their efficiency. Jjevartment or state, Washington.

eept.mz Sir: Reliable information having reached the President that armed and organized bodies of men, avowedly in rebellion against the Territo rial Government, have concentrated in such num bers as require an additional military force for their dispersion, you will have the militia of the Territory completely enrolled and organized, to the end that they may on short notice be brought into the service of the United States.

3d. savs: "Your despatch of the 22d of August and enclosures, sufficiently exhibit the inadequacy 01 tne lorce under vour command to peilorm tne duties which nave oeen devolved upon you in the present unhappr condition of Kansas, by the orders and instructions neretoiore communicated. To meet this exigency tke President has direct ed the Governor of the Territory to complete the enrolment and organization of the militia, as you yvill find fully set forth in the enclosed copy of the letter addressed to him by the Secretary of State: and the President had directed me to sav to vou that vou are authorized from time to time to make requisitions upon the Governor for such military force as you may require to enable you promptly and successfully to execute your orders anil suppress jiisurieenoii cittiiisL iuc uyciu- ment of the Territory of Kansas. And under the circumstances heretofore set forth in vour in structions to give requisite aid to the officers of the civil government who may be obstructed in due execution of the law. Should you not be able to derive from the militia of Kansas ade quate force for these purposes, such additional number of militia as mav be necessary will be drawn from the States of "Illinois and Kentucky, as shown in the requisition a copy 01 wmca is herewith enclosed.

The views contained in vour instructions to the officers commanding the troops, under date of August 19th, are fully approved, and accord so entirely with the purposes of the Executive as to leave but little to add in relation to the course which it is desired you should pursue. The po sition 01 the insurgents, as shoyvn dv your letter and its enclosures, is that of open rebellion against the laws andconstitutionalauthorities, withsuek manifestation of purpose to spread devastation over the land, as no longer justifies further hesitation or indulgence. To you as to every soldier whose habitual feel- in? is to protect the citizens of his own country. and only to use his arms against a public enemy, it cannot be otherwise than deeply painful to be brought into conflict with any portion of his felloYv-countrymen. But patriotism and humanity alike require that rebellion should be promptly crushed, and that the perpetration or crimes which now disturb the peace and security of the good people of the Territory of Kansas should be effectually checked.

You will, therefore, ener- employ all the means within your reach restore the supremacy of the law, always in en- aeavormg to carry out tne present purpose to prevent unnecessary effusion of blood. In making your requisition for ffte militia force you will be governed by the existing organization of the army, and the layvs made and provided in such cases. YY'hen companies, regiments, brigades or divi sions are presented to be mustered into the service of the United States, you will cause them, before they are received, to be minute- inspected oy an omcer 01 your commaaa appomtea lor tae purpose." Jefferson Davis, under date of Sept. 3d, to the Governors of Kentuokv and Illinois, says: To suppress insurrectionary'oombinations against toe erritory 01 Kansas ana-emorce mt uuc cap cution of law against armed resistance, I am instructed by the President of the United StatM to ine his requisition upon you for two regiments of ftxt militia to be furnished to Major General i.

Smith, of Ike United States Army, com BY For the Baltimore Snn.J Coal Freights are the Most Advantageous Traffic which the Baltimore Ohio Kailroad has. This caption, upon what has been said in prece-ceding communications, is no longer mere assertion; but has been demonstrated as clearly and directly as the rather unsystematic statistics of the R.R. Reports allow. In this pa per will be thrown, together some considerations that constitute an inferential demonstration of the same result; chiefly for the benefit of those who, not fond of minute arithmetical calculations, intuitively perceive the result to which the general conditions lead on which such calculations are founded. 1st.

To a large class of persons the repeated declarations of past administrations of the Railroad, that the coal traffic is profitable, are of themselves enough to carry conviction of the fact, in the absence of any contrary afiirmaL If the present administration contradict its predecessors, it should do so, for its own sake and the sake cf truth, only with great modesty and caution; while as far as other parties are concerned, such contradiction, whether dignified or dogmatic, simply neutralizes all official testimony and leaves the question to be determined upon its own merits and by other evidence than the changeable opinion of the Railroad Board. 2. The propriety of change of opinion in such institutions (which, unhappily for their stockholders, too frequently indulge in variations of the kind) can sometimes be tested by the unintentional and therefore impartial statements made without any reference to the point in question. In the present matter there is such unintentional witness shown in the following table, which is quite instructive: Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Work and Profits for a Series of Years, Carried. Tear.

For the present aim, however, it will be enough to indicate a use which every reader can make of it for himself. Thus, in 1S49 and 1850. the merchandize was constant while the coal for ihe last year increased; and the net reve nue. is seen to nave increased also. Again, as between 1S50 "nd 1652, the coal was sensibly constant while the merchandize increased; and the net revenue fell off.

In 1S34 the merchandize decreased, and yet the net revenue more than doubled itself, thus corresponding to the increase in coal, so that it may be stated in general, as the experienc of the last nine years, that the coal traffic and the net revenue have marched together. while a similar relation cannot be predicated of the merchandize traffic. Indications like these should be full of meaning and emphasis to the managers of an institution from whose business they are derived; and such involuntary testimony should be all the more esteemed since it has been dictated by neither prejudice nor self- interest. 3. But tHs is not all the evidence of the same sort.

For instance, the merchandise traffic is hardly half so much as the coal; while the machinery-, rolling stock and attendance for it is more than twice as much as for the coal. It should then be charged about four times as much, or (say) nearly 10 per ton, in order to square the account. But in point of fact it is charged less than ff 7 per ton So that in reality the coal is overcharged already. 4. It maybe said, however, that a part of the rolling stock (viz.

some of the 76.3 gondolas out of the 22flf5 cars attributed to merchandise traffic) has been used in and about the transportation of coal; to eke out the capacity of the 1 ,024 cars belonging specially to that traffic, This has been so probably, but to a much more inconsiderable extent than the objection would imply. Gondolas have been used only for the transportation of fib .000 tons of coal for company use (which did net pay freight and has entered into none of the preceding calculations) and for a part of the tons delivered in the city. If they had even been used for the whole of the city delivery, the calculation of the last paragraph would be affected but about 15 per still leaving a large margin in favor of the coal, and not affecting the principle at all. 5. But conceding even that the gondolas were used in the coal trade proper indiscriminately, and thus the phase of 3 made untenable, there are still other unexceptionable data in reserve.

Thus, for example, comparing the engine-run for the two branches of traffic, ft appears that for every ton of merchandize the locomotive and train ran 5 1-6 miles; for each ton of coal only miles: that is to say, for 1 mile of engine run with coal, there were were 2 1-5 miles run with merchandize. Of course, the expense of haulage merely, if the miles run with coal and with merchandize were over the same grade grade throughout, (as they are not; for merchandize passes over a heavy grade of 116 feet per mile, which coal does not.) would be in the same ratio; and the expense still further of wear and tear of track, cars, Sec, will be in the proportion of the whole number of miles run with each traffic, respectively, i. e. coal being 1, mdze will be 1 31. Combining these two items, (which still do not comprehend all the expenses, the remainder of which bear the most heavily upon merchandize,) we obtain a proportionate expense per ton for merchandize of 82 90 for every $1 accruing on coal.

But for every SI of revenue that coal yields, merchandize yields but 62 There can be no doubt, therefore, in any account as between these two branches of traffic, which is profit and which is loss. 6. YVith these results will agree the deductions to be made from a minute classification of expenses on the B. O. R.

R. as has not been made in the Company's report; and a similar classification which has been furnished in that of the Reading Railroad. Not to prolong this already extended article, these deductions will be exhibited on Alonday for the perusal of every Sun-readinar Citizen. THE SUN. Rejoicing at Harper's Ferry.

YY'e learn that the news of the passage of the army appropriation bill was received at Harper's Ferryj among the worthy mechanics and working- men of that place, on Saturday evening last, with unbounded delight. A spontaneous assemblage took place, cannon were fired, flags displayed, and a spirit of general rejoicing followed. The Hon Faulkner, the representative in Con gress from that district, who stendily voted for the bill, shorn of the proviso, arrived in the cars during the evening, and was enthusiastically received, but was unable to remain and make an address, although warmly pressed to do so. Air. James IT.

Stewart, of Washington city. however, being present, delivered an appropriate speech, congratulating the workmen on the pas sage of the bill, alter which a procession was formed, and with a band of music marched through the town and was finally dissmissed with three cheers for President Pierce, Air. Faulk ner, the Constitution and the Uni on. Alen of all parties participated in the affair. Protestant Episcopal Convention.

The General Lpiscopal convention, to be held in Philadelphia on YVednesday, October will be composed of many distinguished men, both lay and clerical. The "convention will meet in St. Luke's church, Thirteenth and Spruce sts Bishop Cobb, of Georgia, being the senior bish op, is expected to preside over the house of bish ops. Ample provision, it is stated, has been made for the entertainment of the delegates. The Harvest and Exports.

The wheat harvest of the United States this year is estima ted at 150,000,000 bushels, a large surplus above our domestic wants. The export trade the New York Journal of Commerce estimates at 40,000,. 000 bushels. Upon this estimate the export demand can be filled without creating any unusua- excitement, but prices will not be likely to rule very low. The "Circumbendibus" Railroad.

Accor- dsing to a statement in the Steubenville Herald the Ohio River, or Circumbendibus Railroad around the bend of the Ohio, from Steubenville to Rochester, Ohio, will be completed and in running order in two months. At Rochester it connects with the Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail road, which completes the distance to Pittsburg A irginian in Nicaragua. Thomas Basye has been appointed judge of the first instace for the Oriental department of the republic of Nicaragua, and has been released from the army of that republic. Mr. Basye, it is stated, is from Virginia, and has served several years in the Legislature of that State, but subsequently re sided in Baltimore.
