GAZETTEER AND MAP OF MARYLAND AND THIS DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. — In another column will be found the Prospectus of this valuable work. No en- terprise could possibly be presented to business men more worthy of general support. We notice the signatures of a number of onr most extensive Mer- chants and Manufacturers, who fully appreciate this difficult task as a work containing so much general and local information of interest and importance to the people at large. It is deserving a very extensive sale, and we have no doubt, but at the small price it is placed at, it will meet a large demand in and out of the St.ate. ———— Baltimore Patriot, June 4. We have recently received a copy of a new "Gaz- etteer of Maryland," a valuable Work and a com- plete book of reference for the whole State and the Federal District. It will be found of great advan- tage to mercantile nun and to our citizens generally. The editor, Mr. Richard Edwards, deserves great credit for his enterprise and perseverance in prepar- ing this work, which we have no doubt will meet with a liberal patronage. The maps alone are worth the very small sura which, is asked for the whole Gazetteer. It will be offered for sale by the appoint- ed agents, and at the store of the publisher, MR. JAMES S. WATERS.	From the Baltimore American. Jan. 26. 1856. GAZETTEER OR MARYLAND.— In to-day's paper will be found an advertisement of this valuable work. Mr. Edwards, the Editor, has bad some ex- perience in such matters, and bears the highest tes- timonials of his competency for the task. That a Work of this kind will be invaluable as a book of reference, as a guide to the emigrant, and as a grand advertisement of the natural advantages with which we are blessed as a State cannot be doubted, and we learn that our citizens nut only appreciate the enter- prise, Out are giving it a liberal subscription. The plan of having advertisements on every alternate page is a very good one, as by so doing the price of the work will be greatly reduced. A liberal com- mission can be paid to agents through whom it will have a very extensive circulation, and thus it will be a valuable advertising medium. Balt. American, May 28. GAZETTEER OP MARYLAND. — We have examine with some attention a new Statistical Gazetteer c the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia- edited by Mr. Richard Edwards. It is a neat vol- ume, containing a brief history of the State, a re-, view of the progress and industrial resources of every portion of the State and District, and an al- phabetical list of every county, city, town, post-office, &c., in the State, as well as many localities not in- serted in gazetteers of a more general character. It is a valuable work of reference, and is accompanied by an excellent map of Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. This work should be within the reach of every business man. The work is published by Mr. James S. Waters.

We could add hundreds of such notices, which our agents through the country
arc receiving, but these are enough to show the character of the Work.
