Thk Nominations.—We place at the
head of our columns this week, the names
of tho American candidates nominated
at tho conventions of Wednesday
Messrs. Purnell and Lankford are the
present incumbents of the offices for
which they arc again nominated.
Mr. Edwin JJ. Webster, tho nominee
for Congress, is a prominent member of
the Harford county bar, and known well
and favorably to the people of the State
as President of the State Senate and a
Presidential Elector in the canvass of
1800. He is a man of exalted character,
tine talents, commanding appearance,
and an able speaker. His election, wc
presume, is on all sides conceded.
There was a protracted and animated
struggle in the Congressional convention,
mainly between the friends of Mr.
Web: tor and Mr. .McCullough of this
county ; the number of bailotings is
stated by different persons at from twenty
seven to thirty ouo, the vote standing at
nearly every ballot McCullough tf,
Webster 7, and John K. Funtil of Carroll
4. On one ballot McCullough received
!J votes, and the delegate who gave the
ninth vote, was ready to tho last to vote
for him if his friends could secure another
vole, so as to make the nomination, ten
votes being requisite: but that tenth
vote, which had to lie procured either
from Wilkins, or Vickers of Kent, or
from one of the Carroll delegates, could
not bo had ; the Carroll men refusing on
sectional grounds and the Kent men
because of a pledge made to Harford on
a former occasion.
The convention adjourned at dark (o
meet at 9 o’clock ; during the interim
the Baltimore county delegation, then a
unit for McCullough, became convinced
that tho Carroll delegates would never
vote for him, and at the first ballot after
the ro-aasombling of the convention, cast
their four votes for Webster, Cecil imme
diately followed for Webster, Carroll
went the same way, and Mr. Frazier of
Kent who on every ballot until the last
had voted for MeC., and that time for
Smith, changed his vote for Webster
making the nomination unanimous.

SomethinL' of Forming—The Wages of Servants
-—.'7 Mathematical Prodigy—Fortress Monroe
—Jt CV< iltoniun—*d Grand Tournament. sc.
T*iere are many features in farming here
which would bo new to our people in Cecil;
i for instance : lots of fine corn growing on the
| sunn* ground which had this year yielded u
crop of early potatoes. Close by this village
there is a field of cotton, the plants well tilled
with bolls and blossoms; it is an experiment,
but is expected to pay. Jn many fields the
wheat is still standing out in shocks of from
Gto 10 dozen sheaves. Large fields of fallow
ground are covered with growing peas, (or
beans,) to be plowed down for wheat as clover
is plowed down with ns. I have passed a
corn field the lows in which were full five feet
apart; the last tillage was plowing and three
large furrows were thrown each way to the
rows. On some farms I lie sweet potato forms
the principal crop, and to see a number or
acres together is not uncommon. The corn
crop here will he an average one.
Labor is expensive here to those who have
not slaves of their own. An average farm
hand is hired by the year for from $l2O to
$130; a good woman for the kitchen, who
can cook and wash, brings SOO a year; a girl
of 12 to 11 years Drugs S2O to $26, Besides
these wages to the master, the employer finds
their clothing, and pays the taxes; the stale
and county tax on a slave over twelve
years is about $2.2-3 per year. The employei
runs all risk of sickness, accident and escape.
In case of sickness the owner pays the doctor,
and in case of death the wages stop. Many
active negro men, hire themselves from their
masters, (not unfrcqucntly paying $ 130 per
year,) and live quite comfortably with their
wives and families. These men follow fishing,
oystcriug, and jobbing about at days’ work.
The Ist of January is the great hiring day,
when the hired servants go to their homes
and the bonds for their wages are dated.
Hampton cun boast of one of the wonders
of the day—a mathematical prodigy who bids
fair to rival Colburn, Hie young man Stafford
ot Vermont, or tbe black boy of Alabama of
whom so much was said in the newspapers
a year or two ago. Jim Cum, a little yellow
slave boy, scarcely a yard high, and only
eight years old, is, tu my mind, one of the
greatest wonders of Virginia. Having heard
of his remarkable powers I sought him out;
fearful of strangers, ami seeing me approach
he hid himself; his mother ran hint down
through a corn lot and brought him in, fright
ened and panting. Supposing him unlit at
the moment for any great mental effort I
talked to him to enlist his confidence, but
'vlii.!*> i Slaid lie contined shy. Taking np the
subject of my errand 1 asked him if he could
multiply figures together and tell what thej
came to. He answered “ I can do it a little.”
How do you do it ? “1 don’t know, sir.”—
I asked him first how many arc 47 times 37 ;
he repeated “17 times 37” and instantly
answered l( seventeen hundred and thirty
nine.” In every case he repeated the num
bers and then answered ; I kept a pencil and
paper to prove bis correctness. I then asked
him the product of 4‘J times 00; without hes
itation he answered “thirty three hundred
and eighty one,” To several other sums of
two figures each he returned equally prompt
and correct answers. 1 then asked him how
many are lul times 218,repeating the numbers
he said ** twenty jive hundred hundred and seven
hundred and ninety two the product is 25,702.
I I is difficulty was, fie knows nothing of
notation; he immediately arrived at the true
result, and expressed it in the only manner he
was able, lu several other sums of three
figures each he failed, principally, I believe,
because he could not express the result; yet
he was in no condition for mental effort owing
to his agitation from the running down and
cuffing fie received at his mother’s hands.—
I sal before this totally unlettered negro
urchin with feelings of surprise almost amount
ing to awe at his remarkable powers, for one of
his age and condition. Somewhat acquainted
with numbers myself, I can mentally multiply
all such sums, as I tested him with, and give
their true product, but not immediately as he
did. Every cyphercr will sec bow to do so,
by the “short cut” as we say; for instance
to arrive at GO times JO, say 60 times GO, re
serve (he product mentally and subtract 00 :
in sonic such manner the other examples;
those accustomed to figures readily do this in
small and plain sums, but how this little untu
, tored boy, who dors’nt know a written figure
or letter, solves such problems is a mystery.
Persons on whom I can rely say that when in
astute of perfect confidence and questioned
by those with whom lie is acquainted he, with
out hesitation, solves far more difficult pro
blems, even those involving intricate fractions.
I give the exact extent of what ho did for me.
1 intended to see him again, but he goes out
all the day fishing with his father and is hard
to meet with.
Every hour and many times every hour the
sound of booming guns comes over from
Fortress Monroe. They are trying the quali
ties, as I am unformed, of rifled cannon.—
This is a splendid Fort, but having been des
cribed so otter my readers will desire nothing
of it from me. With its huge walls, moats,
grinning port holes and frowning guns it pre
sents from without a formidable appearance,
while within, the soldiers with bristling
muskets, the rows of cannon, mounted as
though ready to rush at an enemy, and (he
shady homes of the officers overhung with,
flowers and vocal with birds, present an odd
contrast ot peace and war.
I called to see an old acquaintance of our
Elkton people, Mr. J. M. Sewall, at bis farm
on Mill Creek between Old Point and Hampton.
Judging from his crops he lias turned out a
good fanner. He has greatly improved the
appearance of his property since he bought it
and his numerous friends in Cecil will be
p’.eased to hear that ho and his estimatiable
family are in the continual enjoyment of health
in one of the prettiest country homes this
part of Virginia affords.
1 would be remiss not to mention that since
I have been in Hampton her knights have held
one of those tournaments for which some parts
of Virginia are so celebrated, and of which
wo sometimes sec such glowing accounts in
the newspapers. I regret not being able to
say that it equaled my expectations in its
proud array of gallant horsemen, or the
prowess of (heir feats. The knights, with rare
exception wore much beneath the standard of
the men here in appearance, and some of the
steeds were rather sorry Rosinantcs. 1 have
no disposition to ridicule the affair, and shall
not do so, but am confident I have seen much
nobler manifestations of (he spirit and beauty
of both man and horse while usefully engaged
at the thrashing machine. To he short with
; it: —Jhtrc was a great turn out; nil the people
; were there, among them many beautiful
j women, lor Hampton and its neighborhood
| can well boast of these; before the tilt at the
1 ling tbe knights were addressed by a yotf*/
fawyer who did' very well—he exhorted them
to “ be true to yourselves, true to woman and
true to Vrrginia”-that is flic stylo hero, always
I'ir-gin-i-a , (the name proioiinced as it can
he no where eke,) never anything about
“your country. 99 A ring, three inches in
diameter, wrapped with red flannel and hung
some seven feet from the ground, was then
rode ut by each knight in succession, armed
with a polo shod with tin, (lance,) the feat being
to bearofftho ring on the point of the pole.—
Several took it twice in the first three trials
and afterwards those determined by other
trials who should he victor. At night a ball
was held at which Ihc victor in the tournament
crowned u favorite lad}' “ queen of love and
beauty ” —those knights next in order in suc
cess, selecting “ maids of honor,” and so,
alter a night of Irolic, the grand allair was
ended; many of the better informed citizens
being heartily ashamed that such a burlesque,
on what is alien a really imposing pastime,
should have occurred. I*. C. U.
For The Cecil Whig.
A Visit to (’amp.
On Sunday morning, last. 1 started on a
visit to the Gravelly Hill Camp Meeting.
The morning was a beautiful one, and every
thing pleasant, except that the roads were
somewhat dusty. In going, 1 took the
Nottingham road; this for some distance
leads through a sort of “barrens;” then
the country opens out and we see on every
hand line farm houses, orchards, If Ids of
growing corn, and fields of stubble, indicative
of large crops of wheat and oats having been i
gathered the past harvest. There is nothing I
particularly attractive. The lirst object that |
elicited remark was • that hill” near Caleb
Reynolds’. This is an ugly place to ascend I
even now, and what it is in winter, f cannot
tell, lint what made this hill so prominent !
an object is a story which is related in connec
tion with it ; and it is this ; “ That years ago.
when the fever for emigrating to Ohio, aiid
other Western States, was raging, many per
sons below, down on the level lands ol the
Peninsula, would load up in wagons or carts
the goods they wished to take with them to
their wild homes, and start on flicit journey,
but on arriving at this hill (it being on the
road then traveled to Baltimore) would mis
take it for the Allegheny Mountains, and con
sidering it too d illicit It of ascent, would turn
about and go home.” I cannot vouch for the
truth of this story; 1 am inclined to doubt it,
ow ing, probably, to the fact that my “ bump
of credulity 39 is small; but 1 have “ told the
story as it was told me.”
The next place of importance is Gilpin’s
Falls. This is truly a proity place. There
were scattered around in the gruvo the
“ reniu’Tis” of “ departed ” pic nies, at which
th‘j guy and giddy had wasted the hours which
should have been spent in sleeping. Jt is
almost useless for mo to give a description of
this place; how the water, with a fall ofabout
loti feet in 410 yards, comes tumbling over,
roaring and rushing on it way; how the moss
covered rocks rise up six and eight feet above
the ground, and how the surrounding trees
were musical with the sweet notes ol birds.
It is a romantic spot; and 1 wonder that it
has not ere this been memorized in song or
story.
In about Haifa mile from here, we arrived
at Bay "\ ievr. The lirst object that catches
the eye is the splendid mansion of I*. A.
Ricord, Ksq.. From this place a line view ol
the Chesapeake Bay, and the surrounding
country, is obtained.
After driving a mile further, 1 came to the
Camp Ground; it is on un eminence, in a
woods, with a thick undergrowth, and is any
tiling but a prepossessing place. The circle
was small, there being only some 1M or do
tents. The ground was very poorly prepared,
and the dust almost insutlerablo. Mill, with
all this, the people appeared to enjoy Hum
selves. Jl was computed there were from
I’.Ono to w,()OU persons present. The order
within the circle was the best I ever saw at a
camp ; though outside there was the usual
amount of drinking ami loud talking. On
Saturday Might, it is said, the disorder was so
great they were unable to hold services, i
noticed quite a number of candidates (pros
pective) present; and heard some of them
discoursing on ?he chances and strength ol
•* their ” party this Fall.
In the forenoon, Rev. Dr. Murray, ofFhila..
preached a very ellective s. rnion. In the
utternoon, Rev. Dr. Swentzel preached the
best sermon I have heard for many a day.
from Kxodns xxm, IS : “] bene cell thee,
shew me thy glory.” He is a gentleman ol
the vital menial temperament: a pleasant, and
eloquent speaker. His remarks in relation to
skepticism were inimitable and overwhe lining.
The sermon throughout was not one of the
modern affairs, gotten up in such a manner us
not to olh nd Mined ears, but contained the
Truth in all its beauty, grandeur and power.
A couple of Klkton *• lads” were arrested
lor selling whisky and root beer, some two
miles from the camp; but after much plead
ing, and many promises to do better, they
were* released.

last week, on the Kclipsccoursc, Long Island
a race came off between Flora Temple and

liersell the fastest trotter in existence. The
race was for a purse of slooo—two mile

won by Flora Temple in two straight heats,
the first of which she made in the unprece

Camp Floyd, U. T., June 22, 18-50,
A piivatc letter from a very highly rospec
table and a thoroughly reliable gentleman in
(Jrcat Salt bake City imparts to us some
interesting fads in regard tu tins remarkable
transaction.
The mules wore to be sold, and no doubt
were sold, on the 14th day of last month, the
notice of sale not having been given until the
22d of June-just twenty day* hcfoie the sale.
The order put forth by the Secretary of War,
and noted on by the Quartermaster General,
was that the sale should hike place on twenty
days’ notice to be given immediately on the
receipt of the order, thus, for want of time, ut
terly preventing purchasers from California
and other places from being on the ground to
interfere with Messrs. Majors, Russell, & Co.,
whose agent for the purchase was acmally
forwarded thousands of miles to Camp Fh*\d
by Government transportation furnished him
in accordance with an order of the Secretary
of If' nr given to all t'aileil Slates officers atons
the route. This enabled the agent to reach
Camp Floyd before the publication of the
order for the rate, so as to make all his nr
rangemrnts for a monopoly of the purchase
at a merely nominal piice, inasmuch as no
one on the spot except himself, had funds to
purchase lo any extent. A more scandalous
transaction is scarcely recoided even in the
annals of this most infamous Administration.
Of course we have not had lime lo hear
what the two thousand nudes and the hun
dreds of army wagons, harness, etc., brought
at the auction of the 14th nit., but we have
spoken of the price as a merely nominal ono,
and it certainly can hnvobeen no more. The
circumstances precluded the possihilty of a
price worth mentioning. 'These mules cost
lire Government $175 pur head, and there
XvftS no reason under heaven for the indecently
hurried sale. 'The grazing in the Great Salt
Lake region is so very line, that, even if it
was necessary or expedient to dispose of the
mules at all, they could have been kept six
months looker without any expense whatever
to the Government, and then there would
have been time for lire purchasers of mules
to come in from other quarters, and there
would have been a just competion ; and the
stock would undoubtedly have brought at
least six limes as much as it did bring on
the 14lh nIL. 'The whole reason of the inde
cent haste to sell and of the peculiar facilities
furnished by the Government to the agent of
an influential Locofocn house was obviously
and undeniably to swindle the public treasury
for political or personal purposes or both.—
The originators of the transaction and the
participators in it. Administration and all,
are swindlers and thieves.
The same agent, who traveled to Utah by
Government transportation for the purchase
of the Government’s 'mules, produced, on his
arrival, .a contract granted co his house by the
Secretory of U'ar for furnishing flour lo the
troops in Utah at the mormons and almost
incredible price of about £2B per hundred lbs .,
and that in difianoe of official knowledge t on
the part of the Secretary of War. that the
greatest abundance offlonr could he purchased
at SO to $7 per hundred. And at the last
dates from I’tali the contractors, through
their agent, were actually delivering their
Hour at a cost to themselves of not over $7
per hundred : and the /act was notorious,
that, as soon as the crops should be made,
they would in all probability tie able to buy
it for two or three dollars. At the very lime
when the Secretary of War awarded ibis
monstrous and infamous contract lo furnish
llom- at about £2B per hundred. Ire bad under
consideration , or at least undi r pretended con
sideration, a responsible bid for the whole
amount to he delivored at SO or $lO. lie
imfend giving S2B, and would no doubt
have given SSO just as soon, perhaps sooner.
Another nefarious and striking feature of
this disgraceful and swindling Hour contract
is that the Government had purchased and
was holding in store, at Nebraska City and
St. Cloud, a large amount of the ver y best
Hour, ready for transportation to Ctah.—
Well, the contractors, to whom the Secretary
o; V, ar awarded the content t, took that
identical Hour otfihe hands of the Government
at what it cost there, thus saving insurance
and getting into their possession a large
amount of Hour at a point and at a time when
the immense emigration to Pike’s Peak ena
bled them to dispose of it at a most tremen
dous profit. Had it been sold by order of the
Government at public auction, its price
would have more than quadrupled what was
paid for it hy the favored pels of the Admin
istration. Comment on such gross and scan
dalous peculations on the part of the highest
Government oflicials is unnecessary. The
power of a simple statement of the facts could
not he increased by all the arts of eloquence.
The facts speak for themselves, and there
can be no doubt that the transactions we have
referred to, and others, reeking and stinking
with corruption, will be subjected to a
thorough, righteous, and merciless scrutiny
during the next session of Congress. And
there will he no Locofoco majority there to
strHe and smother investigation.
It is certainly one of the worst and most
alarming features of the times that the North
ern and Southern Democracy, however much
at varience in regard lo other matters, appear
lo he fully agreed in endeavoring lo uphold
the Buchanan Administration in all its atro
cious corruptions. No matter how many
oflicia 1 frauds and peculations and pecuniary
vilUnies in general may be brought to light,
no matter how iniquitous and shameful and
startling their character may be, and no mat
ter how conclusive, how above and beyond all
dispute and all doubt, may be the evidence
of their perpetration, the Democracy, through
their conventions, their Legislatures, their
public, meetings, their newspapers, and their
candidates for otlicc, open their months only
to justify or excuse or deny the rascality and
to endorse the Administration that commits
It. Thus the mass of the party shows that
it is no better than the Administration, and
God knows that it could not well He worse.
