To Business Men.
As the season is now here for the opening of
the Spring trade, we would call the attention of
business men in the city and county, to the ad
vantage of making known their trade, through
the columns of a good county paper. Dealers
in Fertilizers, Agricultural Implements and
Seeds, Substitute Agents, &c., will find it especi
ally profitable to advertise liberally nt this time,
Money spent in this way is the highest economy.
Baltimore County Prisoners.
A report has gained some circulation that sev
eral of the Baltimore county Union soldiers who
were captured by theenemy, have gone over to the
Rebels, in order to avoid being starved or frozen,
in the miserable dens in which they are confined.
We have before us a letter from Mr. D. B. Wil
helm of the sixth district, whose son has just, re
turned after an imprisonment of fourteen long
and painful months. Mr. Wilhelm, Jr., was a
member of the 9th Md., and was captured at
Charlestown Va.
He was first confined at Belle Island, naar
Richmond with others of his Regt., and after
wards sent to Georgia, lie ims had every op
portunity for knowing the condition of our pris
oners, and emphatically denies the report, that
any of our brave men, even with the most tortu
rous death staring them in the face, were induced
to go over to the enemy. Every one. who lias
any sympathy for the friends and relatives ofonr
unfortunate prisoners, should take pains to de
ny this report. It were indeed no wonder if the
heartless enemy had succeeded in forcing some
of our men into a nominal allegiance to their
wicked cause. But we are proud to say, on Mr.
Wilhelm’s statement, that the Baltimore county
boys, met their cruel and lingering death like
heroes, and spurned the offers of the enemy with
all the indignation that their failing strength al
lowed them. Let no one who has any regard
for the memory of the brave men who are rotting
in the sands of Georgia, or dying by inches in
the prison pens of the South, hereafter be found
spreading the report that some have gone over
to the enemy to escape a cruel and painful death.
We are sure that their parents would say with
old Mr. Wilhelm, “I would rather that my son
had died—hard as his death might have been,
than to have heard that he had gone over to thd
Rebels.” Mr. Wilhelm, the rctnrned prisoner,
we are glad to hear, is slowly recovering, though
still very weak and greatly broken down. We
hope he will soon recover sufficiently to give us
an account of his sufferings in the hands of the
Rebels.
False Leniency.
The Frederick Examiner tells of a Rebel priso
ner of war named Win. Shipley, who was
wounded and captured at Gettysburg, and who
has ever since been an inmate of a hospital in
Baltimore. A short time since lie received a fur
lough of thirty days from our authorities, and
went up to Frederick, where lie was sporting
around at a grand rate with his friends.
The Annapolis Gazette mentions a similar case,
that of Thomas G. Pratt, son of the Ex-Govern
or, who was captured at Fort Fisher. This man
was in the Rebel army about three years, and is
now at Annapolis “enjoying all the pleasures of
home and untrammeled liberty.”
Now we don’t believe in turning half savage,
and shooting, starving and outraging the pris
oners who fall into our hands, but we think a
decent respect for our unfortunate soldiers who
arc now lingering in the shadows of death in the
Rebel prison pens, as well as a proper regard for
the feelings of Union men al home, demands that
this shameless leniency shall cease. These fellows
entered the Rebel army of their own free will. In
view of the crimes they have committed against
their country, it is little enough to ask them to
take the oath of allegiance before they are re
stored to liberty. If they decline doing this, then
let them be held as prisoners, and not as visitors
in our midst, until they can be exchanged for
some poor, sunken, broken down prisoners in
Rebel hands. The enemy grant no thirty day
furloughs to our captured nun to go off fifty
miles or so by railroad, and have a high time
among old friends. Within a foot of the “dead
line” is death to any of them. It strikes us there
ought to be a little censure, a little punishment
attached to treason. Some of our authorities
seem to think it entitles a man to special favors,
and their tender bosotus seem to yearn for an op
portunity of restoring to home and friends, the
men who have been the sad cause of all our woe.
The late Senator Hicks.
We have been favored by our Representave,
Gol. L. 11. T\ ebster, wiili copies of the Congres
sional Globe rontaiaing the proceedings of both
Houses on the death of Senator Hicks. Eloquent
and feeling addresses were delivered on the oc
casion by the members from this State, as well as
by a number from other States, and a most pro
found regretal his death wasevery win re evident.
Thomas Holliday Hicks was no scholar, no
orator. Deprived of the privileges of even a
good common school education, he relied through
life upon his sound principles of character, and
the dictates of a practical common sense. He en
tered on his official careeras Constable of a disfi ict
in Dorchester county. He died a Senator of the
United States. The history of his life is another
illustration of the beneficence of our free institu
tions, and will quicken the spirit of many a
poor and aspiring boy in the years to come.—
Mr. Webster quoted the following extract frqtn
Gov. Hicks! proclamation of January 18G1, a
suitable epitaph for his monument : Jr
“In the course of nature I cannot have long to
live, and I fervently trust to be allowed to end
my days a citizen ol tin’s glorious Union. But
should I be compelled to witness the downfall of
that Government inherited from our fathers, es
tablished as it were by the special favor of God,
I will at leas' have the consolation nt my dying
hour that I neither, by word or deed, assisted in
hastening its disruption.”
Irving Female College.
This first class Institution of learning, situa
ted at Mechanicsburg Pa., in the garden spot of
the far-famed Cumberland valley, has lately
changed owners, on account of the death of Mr.
Marlatt, the late Principal. It has been purchas
ed by Rev. Thompson P. Ege, A. M., for $16,-
200. Mr. Ege 13 well known through this coun
ty and State, as having been connected with a
Female seminary at York, and lately with the
Cumberland Valley Institute at Mechanicsburg. j
lie has been a most successful and laborious
under his management, aided by
those Teachers at Irving College who will re
main, that Institution cannot fail to flourish
as it has done in the past. We can safely re
commend it to those of our readers who bare
daughters to educate,
Facta About the 7-30s~The Advan- 0
tagos they offer.
Tiieir Absolute Security.— Nearly all active
credits are now based on Government securities,
and bunks hold them its the very best and strong
est investment they can make. If it were possi
ble to contemplate the financial failure of tbe
Government, no bank would be any safer. If
money is loaned on individual notes or bond and
mortgage, it will be payable in the same curren
cy as the Government pays with, and no better. ‘
'ihe Government never lias failed to meets its eu- <
gagcnients, and the national debt is a first niort- t
gage upon the whole property of the country. 1
While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or (
even a greater per cent., Government stocks are 1
always comparatively firm. Their value is fixed I
and reliably, beyond all other securities; for while *
a thousand speculative bubbles rise and burst, as
a rule they are never below par, and are often 1
above.
Its Liberal Interest. —The general rate of 1
interest is six per cent., payable annually. This
is seven and three-tenths, payable semi-annually.
If you lend on mortgage, there must be a search
ing of titles, lawyers fees, stamp duties and de
lays, and you will finally have returned to yon
only tbe same kind of money you would receive
from the Government, and less of it. If you in
vest in this loan you have no trouble. Any bank
or banker will obtain it for yon without charge.
To eacli note or bond are affixed five “coupono”
or interest tickets, due at the expiration of every
successive half-year. The holder of a note lias
simply to cut off’ one of these coupons, present
it to the nearest bank or Government Agency,
and receive his interest; the note itself need not
be presented at all. Or a coupon thus payable
will every where be equivalent, when due, to
money'. If you wish to borrow' ninety cents on
the dollar upon the notes, you have the highest
security in the market to do it with. It you
wish to sell, it w ill bring within a fraction of
cost and interest nt any moment. It will be ve
ry handy to have in the house.
It is convertible into a six percent, gold-bear
ing bond. At the expiration of three years a
holder of the notes of the 7-30 Loan has the op
tion of accepting paj’incnt in full or ot funding
his notes in a six per cent, gold interest bond,
the principal payable in not less than five, nor
more than twenty years from this date, as the
Government may elect. These bonds arc held at
such a premium as to make this privilege now
worth two or three per cent, per annum, and
adds so much to the interest. Notes of the same
class, issued three years ago are now selling nt a
rate that fully proves the correctness of this
statement.
Irs Exemption from State or Municipal Taxa
tion. —But asidefrom all the advantages we have
enumerated, a special Act of Congress exempts all
bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On
the average this exemption is worth nbout two
per cent, per annum, according to the rate of
taxation in various parts of the countrj'.
It is a National Saving Bank. —while this
loan presents great advantages to large capital
ists, it offers special inducements to those who
wish to make a safe and profitable investment
of small savings. It is in every way the best
Savings’ Bank ; for every institution of this kind
must somehow' invest its deposits profitably in or
der to pay.interest and expenses. They will in
vest largely in this loan, as the best investment.
But from the gross interest which they receive,
they must deduct largely for the expenses of the
Bank. Their usual rate of interest allowed to
depositors is o per cent.'npon sums over SSOO.
The person who invests directly with Govern
ment will receive almost oOperceut. more. Thus
the man who deposilsslooo in a private Savings’
Bank receives 50 dollars a year interest; if he de
posits the same sum in this National Savings’
Bank lie receives 73 dollars. For those who wish
to find a safe, convenient, and profitable means of
investing the surplus earnings which they have
reserved for their old age or for the benefit of
their children, there is nothing which presents so
many advantages as this National Loan.
The Highest Motive. —The war is evidently
drawing to a close, but w hile it lasts the Treasu
ry must have money to meet its cost, and every
motive that patriotism can inspire should induce
the people to supply* its wants without delay.—
The Government can buy cheaper for cash in
hand than on credit. Let us see that its wants
are promptly and liberally satisfied.
‘‘THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY
RELIEF ASSOCIATION.”
An Appeal to the Christian ami Humane !
The recent laying-waote of the Shenandoah
Valley, has caused untold suffering with ft peo
ple who once possessed happy homes and firesides,
farms handsomely stocked with cattle* and burns
filled w ith grain and hay. Tho “Garden of Vir
ginia” has, in a measure, become a desert, and
entire households have, from the effects of “pinch
ing want,” been reduced to an actual state o
dependence upon the charitable and humane.—
Large numbers of these people, from the grand
parent with whitened locks to the innocent,
helpless babe at its mother’s breast, are contin
ually arriving inside of the Federal lines. Their
appeal for succor in their sore distress ought not
to pass unheeded.
A number of the Ladies of Hagerstown Mary
land, have organized themselves into a Society
for the relief of the distressing wants of these peo
ple, made still more severe by the inclement win
ter. They ask the aid of the humane and charit
able in their work of mercy. Mr. Daniel Dech
ert, Editor of the “Hagerstown Mail” is Treas
urer of the association, to whom all donations
should be addressed.
Contributions of Money, Food, Clothing, llats,
Bonnets, Boots, Shoes, and Notions, when not
collected by the Agents of the Society, ran be
sent by Express, (money can be mailed.)
Cheap, substantial Clothing, (second-hand
Clothing will be very acceptable,) is what is
most required by tbe Sufferers. Of Women’s
and Children’s Clothing there should be a great
er supply sent than of Men’s.
An effort is being made to prepare a box of
goods in this vicinity and send it to the suffer
ers. The work is in the hands of Lewis H.
Wheeler, Esq. Contributions of any kind can
be left with him, or at this office. We hope our
neighbors w ill remember the needy in the midst
of their plenty. Having been on duty in “The
Valley” last Fall, and having seen a little of the
desolation that war has brought upon it, we
know that our charities are urgently needed
there.
t The Wilson Family.
Last week’s l.nion contained an obituary of
Col. John W. and Lieut. Robt. A. Wilson, of
this county, with a short history of this most
brave and patriotic family. Few families can
boast as honorable a record. Their fame is part
of the nation's history, nnd the pride of their
State and Such patriotism as they dis
played should not pass without some public ex
pression ofgratiude for their memory, and of
sympathy for the sorrowing members of the fam
ily. They deserve a public monument, to record
their valor while marble shall preserve its solidity. ■
The National Loan.
The sales of 7-30’s by Jay Cooke, for the week
ending Saturday 18lh, amounted to the immense
sum of $26,520,200. The sales made on Monday
last, reached over four million dollars, one sul
scription for one million dollars, coming from
New York, and anotherfor $162,000 from Chica
go. At this rate the entire loan will be sold be
fore the end of March, and we would advise
itour readers who intend doing so, to make imme
diateapplication. lISW strong the confidence of
of the peoplein the security of (heir Government!

THE OLD FLAG FLOATS OVER
FORT SUMTER ONCE MORE!!
Evacuation of Charleston, the ccss- 1
pool of trecson andreballion-Evac- ;
tuition of Columbia the capital of
South Carolina—Sherman’s inarch
uninterrupted.
An official bulletin from Secretary Stanton,
embracing a dispatch from Gen. Grant, on Mon
day last announced that Columbia and Charles
ton had been evacuated by the enemy on ihe
night of Friday the 17th, without a fight, and
our troops under Sherman and Gilmore had quiet
ly taken possession. The rebel troops uuder
Beauregard are reported as falling back toward
Charlotte, which is 109 miles from Columbia.—
Sherman was said to be pursuing them and.had
already reached Winnsboro an important station
on the Charlotte and Columbia railroad 39 miles
from the former place and 70 miles from rhe latter.
Wheeler's rebel cavalry are reported to have
plundered the citizens of Columbia before they
left, in tbe same magnanimous manner they did
the citizens of Savannah
The capture of Columbia will materially inter
fere with the issue of rebel promises to pay. The
printing for their Treasury Department has been
executed at this point for some time, and a great
bunntity of printing material has fallen into our
hands, the army being unable to remove it, owing
to several causes. One hundred and two presses
were captured in one establishment alone, which
is pronounced “ unquestionably tbe largest and
best equipped publishing house in the South.” —
A large amount of rolling stock on the Charlotte
railroad, medical stores, etc., also fell into our
hands. The Union forces reached the city on
Thursday evening, and on Friday morning Bean
regard retreated, and our army entered “ with
out opposition.”.
As soon as the evacuation of Charleston was
known, Admiral Dahlgren of the navy, and Gen.
Gilmore of the army moved up and took posses
sion. The “old Flag ” was raised on Fort Su
mter once more by a staff officer of General Gil
more.
The capture of Charleston of course gives us
the possession of Forts Sumter, Moultrie, l’inek
ney, and the works erected during the rebellion,
all of which will he “ re-occupied ” by the for
ces of the United States, in accordance with the
Proclamation of President Lincoln, issued short
ly after the capture of Fort Sumter by the chiv
alrous and fleet-footed Beauregard. The arma
ments of these works, with their ammunition,
stores, garrisons, etc., the much-vaunted rebel
rams in the harbor, tbe United States Arsenal in
the limits of the city, all its machinery, etc., are
no doubt ere this time in the hands of our victo
rious army and navy. The importance of this
last success cannot be over-estimated, in a mili
tary point of view, as it breaks up and gives
complete control of many of the most important
railroads in the fast dissevering Confederacy, re
lieves a large fleet of vessels and men from ardu
ous and confining blockade duty, and leaves open
the path of our conquering heroes to fresh suc
cesses.
Late Richmond papers also contain interesting
intelligence from Wilmington and North Caroli
na generally. On Thursday aud Friday last, a
Wilmington despatch states that Porter and Ttr
ry shelled Fort Anderson “furiously.” It was
reported that a land force had attacked the work,
but were repulsed, but “ wc have no particulars.’
Raids by # Union troops arc reported in various di
rections. A telegraph operator at Weldon, reports
one from Washington on Newborn, on the line of
the Wilmington Railroad ; a movement against
Kingston was rumored inofficial quarters; a cav
alry force lias started for Turboro, and a despatch
was received in Wilmington announcing that 5,-
000 Federal cavalry were advancing from Knox
ville on a raid on the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad.
REBEL RAID ON CUMBERLAND.
Before daylight on Tuesday morning a party of
Rebel Cavalry dashed into Cumberland, surpri
sing the pickets and carrying off Gens. Crook and
Kelley as prisoners. It was a daring and well
planned affair. Our cavalry was sent in pursuit
but up to this time they have not ovei taken ihe
Raiders. We know nothing of the number of
men at Cumberland nor of the discipline of the
troops at that place, but it seems to us that the
capture of an officer who will allow himself to
tie so easily surprised and captured, is a matter
of rejoicing rather than otherwise.
Later War News.
Capture of Fort Anderson.
Probable Evacuation of Wilinington, N. C.
Admiral Porter sent an official dispatch to the
Navy Department on Sunday last, stating that
his gunboats in connection with the l:\jjd troops
under Gen. Schofield had captured Fort Ander
son, the only work of strength remaining for the
defence of Wilmington. The Rebels escaped du
ring the night. With the fort are captured ten
heavy guns and a quantit}' of ammunition. As
this fort is but ten miles from Wilmington, it is
probable that our troops by this time have pos
session of that city. .

Resolutions of Respect.
We gladly give place to the following resoulii
tions, and would unite our expressions of sorrow
and sympathy with our brave soldiers in tlie
field, nt tbe loss which the country and the fam
ilies of the deceased have sustained. And in this
connection we cannot refrain from expressing our
regret and surprise, that the military, authorities,
refused to furnish a suitable escort to accompany
the remains of the lamented Col. Wilson to their
last testing place. Application was made foru
company of men to escort the body of the Col.
from the city to his late residence, but for some
reason was not granted. Gen. Jno. S. Berry
and an officer of Ihe Ist. Md., Regiment, were
the only escort. Not a drum was beat, not a
shot w'as fired, when he was laid to his long rest,
and yet the grave never closed over a braver
man than Col. John W. Wilson :

At a meeting of the officers of the First Mary
land Veteran Volunteer Infantry, presided over
by Captain Robert Neely, commanding said
regiment, the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, Our grief over the previous losses of
beloved and respected officers and comrades in
this command is painfully intensified by the
death of Colonel John W. Wilson and Lieuten
ant Lewis Armacost, who fell whilst nobly de
fending our country’s flag from the hands of
traitorous enemies,
Resolved, That whilst we are proud that the
appreciation of their value as officers has been
expressed by their late promotion, we doubly
lament their loss at the time when their increas
led efficiency as officers entitled us to expect
still more glorious manifestations of their patri
otism and military ability.
'Resolved, That we express our deep sympathy
with their bereaved widows and mourning or
phans, and send to them from the battle-field
the assurance of our sincere condolence and
lasting friendship.
Resolved, That whist our hearts are aching
over the repeated blows a wicked rebellion
strikes in our ranks, the same hearts are swell
ing with anger to revenge the noble victims < f
patriotism and to imitate their heroic conduct.
' Resolved, That as a token of respect and es
teem, the officers of this command will wear
crape upon the hilt of their swords for the pe
riod of thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the families ot the deceased, and copies
to the Baltimore American, Clipper, Frederick

Home, Feb., 7th, 1865.
Messrs. Ilaverstick k Longneckers : —Finding
“the Lion has lain down with the. Lamb,” and
that you “shall know war no more,” I step in
to grease the new machinery with my share of
material aid. You will therefore find enclosed $2
of the Green-back order. Some might say this
is not more than one dollar in Gold, nor is it, in
the market of the stock hrokes. But if you arc
willing to send me your valuable paper for that
amount, lam well satisfied. Again, if you find
it necessary to put up your price to three or four
dollars, to enable you to keep a stock of axle
grease on hand, to run the machinery of a true
Union paper in Baltimore county, I will stand
my share of the expense. God Almighty hasn’t
chastised the Rebels enough yet, and we must
expect to help to foot the bill. That man Lin
coln has a head of his own, and if they just let
him alone, lie'll soon bring county papers down
to their old price.
The 22n, in Towsontown.— Except a little ex
hibition of the military spirit on the part of the
boys, and the explosion of a small quantity of
“villainous saltpetre,” there was but little differ
ence noticeable between this day and any others.
In the evening however, a few of onr energetic
' and patriotic citizens, succeeded in getting tip
; quite a creditable illumination, in honor of tbe
day, and of the late grand victories in South
Carolina. The Court House, Sinedley House,
and a number of private residences were hand
somely illuminated, giving the town quite abril
i limit appearance. A meeting had been-called at
■ the Court House, but owing to the rainy weather
and onr miserable board walks, few could turn
out. Jno. T. Elisor, Esq., made a short address
to those who had assembled.
The day was very generally observed, a na
tional salute was fired at all government milita
ry establishments by order of the Secretary of
War. In the city the flags were gaily hung out
and most places of public business closed.
Tiie Bi.ua Bums Have Come.—The other morn
ing on our way to the office, we were greeted with
j the first warbliug notes of the Blue-bird", it
sounded like the cheery voice of some old
friend whom we had not seeen for a long
time. “ The Blue-birds have come !” is
heard on all sides, and every body feels a thrill
of plasure at the announcment. They are wel-e
coined back like members of the family, and the
children wonder where they have been and what
‘ countries they have seen during their long ab
sence. Their arrival is the more cheering, be
cause it is said bv the old weather-wise people,
that the severe cold weather is oyer, and that the
gardener may soon resume his labors with confi
dence. Their appearance gladdens the whole
landscape. Their solt warblings will soon be
heard in every field. They grow familiar and
take up their residence in the trees and shelters
, around your habitation.

! .Sale of Real Estate.—On Thursday 16th,
’ iust., Mr. Jno. R. D. Bedford, one of the Execu
tors of the late Mordecai Parrish, sold the valua
ble farm and mill property formerly belonging
to said deceased, to Jno M. Wheeler, Esq., of
, Towsontown for SIO,OOO. The farm contains
J about 115 acres, and is situated in Zoucksville,
Balto. county'. There is upon the property a
large stone dwelling, tenant houses, &c\, also a
flour, grist and saw-mill, all in good repair.—
The mill, which is built of stone, is nearly new
nnd is quite large, being five stories high. The
property is about twenty-four utiles from Balti
more and two miles east of the Baltimore and
Reisterstown turnpike road.
; The payments arc said to be easy and the prop
' erly is considered remarkably cheap.
y Jail Delivery.—Our Devil informed the peo
ple a lew weeks since, that owing to the large
circulation of the Union, blit oue prisoner remain
ed in the county Jail, a gentleman “ob- cullah”
who probably couldn’t read, and who was im
prisoned for stealing a lot of old iron from the
Baltimore and Ohio R. R. Company. Now al
though our long-fingered citizen of the colored
. persuasion, was monarch of all he surveyed, he
didn’t seem to see any charms in solitude, and
begun to long for the open air, uu-graled suu
light and pleasant companionship. So on Mon

j. Concert at Lutherville.— On the evening of
{ue 22d, the students of Lutherville Seminary,
gave a very successful musical entertainment to
the many friends of that institution. The Pro
■ gramme had some most excellent selections, all
of which were performed in the best style of mu
sical art. The custom of Mr. Sadder, in allow
ing the students of his institution to give these
occasional evening entertainments, we regard as
a most excellent one. It not only stimulates ef
; fort to excel, and brings the knowledge acquired
j into actual practice, but by throwing open the
, I parlors for the reception of a select number of
visitors, familiarizes the young ladies with the
forms and conventionalities of society.
The Draft. —Preparations are everywhere vig
orously in progress for the completion of the ne
cessary arrangements for carrying out the draft.
Districts that are making no effort to fill their
quota, may look for an early turning of the
wheel. The meeting called at Towsontow n on
Tuesday last, for the 9th district, was hut sparse
ly attended. In view of the difficulties attend
ing the collection of a sufficient amount of money
I to buy volunteers to fill the quota, and there be
ing little interest taken in the matter by the peo
ple at large, it was decided by those present,
merely to organize a mutual exemption club ami
• make no effort to release the district from draft.
Baltimore County Court. —Although there
I are a number of equity eases before tbe Court,
wot yet disposed of, nothing of any consequence
bus been done during the past week.
The case of the contested Judgeship is still be
fore the Legislature, and the taking of evidence
will be resumed on Tuesday next. A large nutn
l>er of witnesses have boon summoned on both,
sides during the progress of the trial.
The March term of Court will be opened on
Monday a week the 6th, proximo, by Judge Gra
son, unless ho shall in the mean time be declared
inelligible by the Legislature.
I Wounded. —Lieut. Geo. W. Shealey, of the
i Bth, Md. Regt. son of our well-known citizen,
| Mrs. M. A. Shealey, received a bullet through
’ the left fore-arm in the late engagement on Hatch
jer’sßnn. The wonnd is not severe, and we
hope will not long disable Lieut. Shealey from
■ j active service.
■ Returned. —Lieut. Dumphey of the 7th, Md.,
Regiment, has returned to his family on a fifteen
day’s furlough.
John Sheradqn, son of our worthy citizen, Mr.
! James Sheraden, who served in tbe arm; as an
artificer, has been discharged.
f .
Draft Clubs. —Our readers will find in this !
week’s paper, adveriisements of two draft clubs, j
one in the Dili district, and one iu the 7lh. The j -
gentlemen who have organized these clubs, are
in every respect reliable, aj|d it w ill doubtless prove !
an advantage to those who are ‘‘in the draft” ]
and whose .modesty is to great for the perform
ance of personal service, to join in with their *
neighbors. Those joining the Towsontown club
must pay SSO. An equitable division of the
fund will then be made among those who may j
be drawn. The 7th, district dub, meets at ! i
White Hall, on Saturday, (to-day) at 3j oelock. •
Long Grkkn Farm. — This valuable property,
containing 231 acres, located near the Hartord |
turnpike, fifteen miles from the city, having on j
it a large dwelling, with stabling and other ne- J 4
eusstiry out buildings, was sold on Tuesday last,
I>y F. \Vi Bennett & Co., for $28,500. B. F.
Newcomer, Esq., purchaser, ,
The Monktou Mills, advertised for the same
day were not sold, no bid coming up to what
the owner demanded.
A Correction.—Our readers will recollect that
in the Court proceedings a few weeks since, it
was published that a man named Frank Boar
man was found guilty of stealing potatoes from
the cellar of Mr. 4 Rankin, in the 11th. district.—
We have since learned that the name of the thief
was Bowers and not Boarman as first published,
and as we have a peaceable citizen named Frank
Boarman, we muke this correction that no one
may suspect lain of beiffg the potatoc thief.
Resigned.—Mr. Geo. Slot ho wer, who for more
than a year past has been the efficient Deputy
Provost Marshal for that part of Baltimore coun
ty, included in the Second District, has resign'd
that position and accepted a clerkship in the office
of James L. Ridgely, Revenue collector. Mr.
Slothower perfo:med the arduous and sometimes
unpleasant duties of his late position, w ith sin
gular ability, patience and firmness, and it will
be no easy matter to fill bis place.
Literary Association.—Owing to the celebra
tion of the 22d, there was no meeting of the asso
ciation on Wednesday night last. The question
for that evening will be debated next Wednes
day evening.
The Lecture of Dr. Reilley will be delivered on
Wednesday evening March 15th. Tickets good
until used.
A Good Business.—li is stated that John E.
Owens the celebrated comedian, whose residence
is jiist at the edge of Towsontown, has made
$50,000 by playing Solon Shingle iu New York,
during the Winter. The New Yorkers evidently
appreciate merit. Hadn’t “Solon” better start
a country newspaper to rid himself of his extra
cash ?
-
Fertilizers.—Farmers w ill find in this week’s
paper, advertisements of the following valuable
fertilizers:—Baugh’s Raw-Bone Phosphate by
Geo. Dugdale; Maryland Company's Poudictte
Ac., lv Lester & Co; Guanos Ac., by F. F. Pope;
Lodi Company’s Pond retie, bv Bowen & Mercer,
with a variety of other valuable fertilizers sold
by each of these establishments.
7-30 Bonds. —Persons who have money to in
vest, can find no safer or more profitable stock
than the 7-30’s. The w hole strength of the ar
my, and the whole resources of the nation are
pledged to their redemption. Tt pays better
than any other investment. See advertisements
in another column.
Pardoned.—Thomas Skinner, colored, con
victed in March, 1857, in the Circuit Court of
Baltimnrejcoonty, for enticing slaves tornn away,
and sentenced to imprisonment in the Maryland
Penitentiary, has been pardoned#>y Governor
Bradford.

Sale Bills printed, at moderate prices. Weliave
a large assortment of attractive cuts for all kinds
