“TU not the many oaths that make the truth ;
But the plain single tow that is vow’d true."
— Shuktptare.
It is a feature of the lax morality of the
times, that numbers of poople entertain a
very loose sense of the obligations of an
oath. Many persons seem to consider the
formula which they utter when taking a
solemn oath, as a mere colloquialism, of no
more significance and binding force than a
1 street salutation, ora remark upon the
weather. Iu no respect is the immoral
tendency of secession and Treason more
forcibly illustrated than in this. Under its
teachings, oaths of allegiance and the most
solemn asseverations of loyalty, are made
with the flippancy of idle jest, and regarded
as little as a spend thrift’s promises to pay.
It is painful to see men of pretended hon
or, of good standing in society and the
Church, make a solemn adjuration to the
Almighty of the honesty of their inten
tions, when at the same time they have no
idea of fulfilling their part of the obiiga
lition. Whatever may be said in exteuua
tion of their conduct it must be admitted
that an oath voluntarily taken and admin
istered by proper authority is always bind
ing, No mental reservation or evasion,
no lt-gal artifice can relieve the deponent
from its solemn obligations.—But aside
from the loose morality inculcated by Trea
son, the trifling importance attached to
oaths, is largely owing to the manner in
which they are administered. All our rea
ders who have had any experience in
such matters, know with what indecent
haste, with what unbecoming levity, oaths
are frequently administered “ You do sol
emly make oath” &c., “Iviss the book/’
, “what’s your name?’’ all in the same
breath, as though it were a mere idle-form,
-’to be hurried through with the utmost ra
pidity. We haye seen officers administer an
oath with a eigar in the mouth, and between
: the whiffs of smoke, mnmbliug out the sol
’• emc invocation to the Deity. We have
seen oaths administered in a room full' of
people, some with bats on their heads, oth
•U ere standing by engaged in trifling conver
sation. Such indecorous proceedings arise
partly from the fact that the State and
National authorities have required so ma
ny oaths from the people to insure them
against imposition, that they have become
to common. There is too much familiarity
with the solemn pledge of truth. The pres
ent course is highly pernicious to public
morals. It were better to have fewer oaths
and more sacredly administered, to throw
the citizen more npon his sense of honor
and personal accountability.
Truth is essential to the welfare of so
ciety, and oaths are designed to secure that
end, by adding to man’s natural sense of re
sponsibility, the additional force of a sol
emn invocation ofthe Almighty. They are
intended as a safe-guard to society ; a shield
to the community against irresponsible as
sertion ; a binding compact between indi
viduals and society, that what they say shall
be “the troth, the whole truth, and noth
ing but the truth,” God being their witness,
' An Oath is, as it were, a recognizance to
Heaven, binding us over, to plead to the
indictment of our crimes in the courts
above, should we escape deserved punish
ment here.
Yet even with this sacred guard thrown
around man’s conscience, how often are the
ends of jnstice frustrated and individual
wrong effected, through false testimony.—/
In very many cases this is due to the slip
shod manner in which oaths are administer
ed. Every petty officer is invested with
authority to pronounce the awful invoca
tion, without questioning his moral percep
tions or inquiring whether he himself duly
appreciates the impressive solemnity of the
form.
Even in Courts of Just ice the administra
tion of oaths is hurried over with too little
dignity and solemnity We might do well
to follow the example of the Scotch courts
in this matter. There, when the witness
appears npon the stand, the Judge slowly
rises from his seat, clothed in tho robes of
hia office, and commands silence ! The crowd
is boshed—you can hear a pin drop in any
part of the hall; then, in grave and digni
fied speech, the Judge administers the
solemn obligation. Thus the witness feels
be responsibility of bis position and the
binding force of the vow he has taken.
Unless something is done to check the
. growing indifference to the sanctity of
oaths, it will soon be an idle farce, a legal
crime, to administer them in any form. We
1 question whether even now any beneficial
results are attained in many cases. If the
oath does not impress itself upon the con
science of the individual, then its vitality
iB gone, and the testimony is worth no more
than the mere assertion of the deponent.
Fourth of July.
The Governors of Pennsylvania, New
. Jersey and other Slates, have issued Proc
lamations calling upon their people ta
make the coming Natiqnal Anniversary a
day “long to be remembered,” and to unite
with their celebrations fitting expressions
of welcome to the returned soldiers. In
Carroll and other counties of our own State,
rigorous efforts are being made to cele
brate the day as it deserves. Yet in oar
county, large, wealthy and loyal, every por
tion thereof having its. returned veterans,
net a step has been taken toward this laud
able work. The good people of the upper
•ad, mean to have a fine celebration, bat
nothing is said about our returned soldiers.
Shall we pass them by without a word of
hearty recognition, without a single public
expression of welcome, without a single
mark of appreciation ? We want a grand
county celebration and reception at Tow
aoatown, end the Executive Committee
Will fail of of its doty if it does not take
fpowttete action in the matter.
News of the Week.
Important Proclamation.
President Johnson on Tuesday issued a
proclamation removing all restrictions njj>-
on internal, domestic hnd coastwise Inter
course and trade, and npon tho removal of
the products of States heretofore declared
in insurrection, so far as relates to Tennes
see. excopting articles contraband of war,
such as arms, ammunition, articles from
which ammunition is made, etc. It is also
directed that on and after the Ist of July
foreign commerce with the ports declared
open by his proclamation of the 22d of
May,shall be conducted under the supervi
sion of the regularly oppointed officors of
■ the customs at the respective points named.
While removing the restrictions on com
merce, the President proclaims the insur
rection, so far as it relates to r l ennessee,
as at an end ; but nothing in tho procla
mation is to be construed as changing or
impairiag any of the penalties, forfeitures,
or disabilities for treason incurred under
the laws ofthe United States or his proc
lamation of 29th of May last, nor as impair
ing any regulations relative to the exer
cise of military law, the suspension of the
habeas corptu, abolishing slavery, etc., but
ou the contrary all such laws are declared
to be in full force.
Judge Underwood, of the United States
District Court of Virginia, arrived in
Washington on Satorday, from Norfolk,
with copies of the evidence upon which
the Grand jury found bills of indictment
against Lee, Breckinridge, Henry A. Wise,
and some fifty other Rebels, civil and mil
itary. He has asked the co-operation of
Attorney General Speed, and intends to
prosecute the trials as soon as possible.
An important step toward the reorgani
zation of tho Methodist Episcopal Church
in the Southern States baß been taken in
East Tennessee. At the recent meeting
of the Holston Conference, Bishop D. W.
Clark and tho Rev. Adam Poe, D. D.j
were present, and the principal clergymen
composing the Conference were admitted
into connection with the Methodist Epis
copal Church North.
It is ascertained on unquestionable proof
that the explosion of the ordnance boat at
City Point last summer, whereby some sev
enty lives were lost, and a large amonnt of
property destroyed, was the work of Robel
agents, and was paid for with Roblel gold
furnished from the rebel State Department.
Reliable information has reached the
friends of John 0. Breckinridge at Lex
ington, Kentucky, that he has arrived safe
in Cuba. How he got there they refuse o
say.
Sixty Prisoners at Fort Warren, under
the rank of Captain, took the oath of alle
giance on Saturday last and were released
from confinement. A number of Maryland
ers and Virginians are among the number,
A destructive fire occurred on Friday in
the Quartermasters? and Commissaries’ De
pot a£ ,Nashville. The loss is variously
Btated at from four to ten millions of dol
lars, but even the lower figure is probably
an exaggeration. An explosion of ord
nance stores also occurred at Chattanooga,
causing a loss of $150,000, and killing ten
or fifteen persons.
Extra Billy Smith, the Rebel Governor
of Virginia, has surrendered himself to the
military at Richmond.
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, re
commends that in every part of that State,
on the approaching Anniversary of Inde
pendence, special observance be had of
welcome to our returned volunteers and of
commemoration of-their heroic deeds.
Attorney Gen. Speed says, by direction
of President Johnson all persons makiHg
special applications for pardon must shew
that they have taken the oaJ,h contained in
.the receot proclamation of amnesty.
Gen. Warren has resigned bis commis
sion as Maj. Gen. of Volunteers, and has
been succeeded in the command at Vicks
barg by Gen. Osterhaus.
In the conspiracy trial the counsel for
the defense brought in a plea of insani
ty on the part of Payne, the man who at
tacked See. Seward. Several eminent Sur
geons examined him but failed to find any
evidence of insanity. All the witnesses
have been examined and the argument of
the case has begun.
An immense Fair is being held at Chica
go in aid of the Sanitary and Christian
Commissions. Gens. Grant and Sherman
were prtftent one day during the week, and
were most enthusiastically received.
Gen. Grant has returned to Washington.
Judge Chase, Senator Sherman and oth
er leading men are in favor of conferring
the right of suffrage on the freedmen of the
South.
It*is belioved that the recent fires in the
commissary and quartermaster’s depart
ments at various points in Tennessee were
the Work of Rebel iucendiaries. The loss
by these fires was much exaggerated.
Col. Wm. S. A. Fish, formerly Provost
Marshal of Baltimore, and some time since
dismissed the service by order of a court
martial, has been restored to his full rank,
with back pay, by the President.

Notes of Third Series of 7-30 b now
ready.
The demand for the Second Series of the
7-30 Notes was so great that the Treasury
Department was nnable to print them with
sufficient rapidity to fill the orders. It will
be remembered that a hundred millions
were subscribed and paid for in a single
week. The printing presses have finally
surmounted the difficulty and on Wednes
day, June 7tb, the deliveries of tho Third
Series commenced, and will be continued
witb tho same promptness that marked the
supply of the notes of the first and second
series. It has boon this interruption of de
livery at the time of subscription which j
has given an appearance of a falling off .
the popular taking of the loan,— the great
body of small takers being unwilling to
pay their money unless they receive tbeir
notes right in band, to carry them home.—
It is expected after this week the daily sub
scriptions to the will run up
into millions, as they will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the opening of the farmers’
wool markets East and. West. It is not at
all likely that Government will ever
again offer so desirable a security as these
notes, and about two hundred millions only
remain to bo taken.
Witb the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and inves
tors must look for a sharp redaction in the
rate of interest as soon as the present loans
become due and can be paid off. There
is no reason why the United States credit
for money should otter again fall below its
credit for courage. The same spirit that
preserves the geographical integrity of the
country Will place its pecuniary integrity
on a par with that of the most fovored na
tions—and that represents a rate of interest
under father than over four per cent.
A Word for Our Soldiers.
There is abundant food for thought and
for hearty national congratulation at the
disbanding and ret*a of ie great armies
that have won the Victories of the past
four years. “All the world wondered," at
the readiness with which the loyal .millions
laid down thp hammer and tho spade, the
yard stick and the pen, and rallied fti arm
ed defence of their threatened nationality.
It was a grand sight. But it will be no
less grand, no less a subject for wonder, to
see the gallant armies of the Republic re
turn to their homes, resuine their former
occupations, and conduct a campaign in
the interests of Peace, as gallant and as
honorable as their late campaign in tho in
terests of war. Upou Government and
People alike these men have the first claifn.
They have saved the Republic, and God
forbid that the Republic should forget
them, when their heroic virtues are no
longer needed iu the field. For lour long
and ventful years they have endured all
and dared all for the good of our common
country, and it would be meanness worthy
only of savages, if the nation failed to man
ifest the tenderest interest for them.
We are not of these who look upon war
as a great demoralizer, unfitting the soldier
for the quiet pursuits of Peace. Oil the
contrary we believe that the stern disci
pline of war has turned many a worthless
fellow into a good citizen. Who does not
know of some wild, trifling, good-for-noth
ing, going off into the army, proving him
self a good soldier, winning promotion, and
coming back a dignified and steady man ?
But the material of our armies has never
been of a worthless character. The best
men ofthe land have stood in the ranks.
And so high is the standard of personal
character in some cases, that to have been
in the army is a presumption of merit.—
Those who were men at home, were men
in the army, and they come back men, all
the better for the sharp discipline of war.
And now how are we to discharge our
duty toward the returned veterans ? First,
by preferring them lor all offices which
they are fitted to fill: Second, by giving
them steady and honorable employment on
our farms, in our work shops, ou the Rail
Roads, wherever they choose to apply for
work. The Government has already signi
fied its intention to discriminate iu favor
of soldiers in the selection of officers and
employees. This is right. Let its carry
the same principal into the ordinary pur
suits of common life.

• Ignorance a Crime in a Republic.
Under the above title Horace Mann thus elo
quently and earnestly discourses on the subject
of popular education :
“In all the dungeons of the Old World, where
the strong champions of freedom are now piniDg
in captivity beneath the remorseless power of the
tyrant, the morning sun does not send a glim
mering ray into their cells, nor does night draw
a thicker veil of darkness between them and the
world, but the lone prisoner lifts his iron-laden
arms to heaven in prayer, that we, the deposita
ries of freedom; and of human hopes, may be
faithful to our sacred faith ;—while, on the oth
er handi the pensioned advocates of despotism
stand, with listening ear, to catch the first sound
of lawless violence that is wafted from our shores,
to note the first breach of faith or act of perfidy
amongst us, to convert them into arguments
against liberty and the rights of man.
‘•‘The experience of the ages that are past,' the
hopes ofthe ages that are yet to come, unite tbeir
voices in an appeal to us {—they implore us to
think more of the character of onr people than
of its numbers ; to look upon our natural re
sources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride,
but as a means to be converted, by the refining
alchemy of education, into mental and spiritual
treasures ; (hey supplicate us to seek for-whatev
er complacency or self-satisfaction we are disjres
ed to indulge, notin the extent of our territory,
or in the products of our soil, but in the expan
sion and perpetuation of the mdanmsaus of human
happiness; they beseech us to exchange the lux
uries of sense for the joys of charity, and thus
give to the world the example of a nation whose
wisdom increases with its prosperity, and whose
virtues are equal to its< power. For these ends
they enjoin npon ns a more earnest, a more uni
versal, a more religious devotion to onr exertions
and reßonrceß, to the culture of the youthful
mind and heart ofthe nation. Their gathered
voices assert the eternal truth, that, iu a repub
lic, ignorance is a crime ; and that private im
morality is not less an opprobrium to the state
than it is guilt in the perpetrator.’’
Jefferson Davis.
[From the London Daily New*, May 27th.]
Tho situation of tblPunhappy man is now such
as wonld excite pity, if it wwe possible to think
of him without remembering the unspeakable
woes which bis ambitiou has brought upon bis
country. He was not only, the head oftheConfed
erate Government, but a prime mover of the con
spiracy which plunged the people of the South
into a causless war before time was given them to
deliberate on the course most conformable to their
interests ; and a large portion of them protested
against secession. Gen. Lee has excused him on
the ground that he yielded to the solicitation of
others. But bis speech in the Senate of the Uni
ted States on the 21st of January, 1861, would
suffice to refute this statement if we had not abun
dant evidence to the contrary from other sources.
And not only did he plan this war, but on him
rests the chief responsibility of continuing it
for months and years after the hopes of success had
passed away. From what Lee and Johnson and
Hardee have slated since the fall of the Confeder
acy it is now clear that Mr. Davis prolonged the
war after his best Generals had urged him to
make peace. If he were answerable for nothing
worse than the great sacrifice of life caused by
the rejection of Mr. Lincoln’s proposals at Hamp
ton Roads, the weight of such a load <f responsi
j ’ ility might well break down the stoutest heart. —
! ilia language and acts during the nine mouths
;<receeding his flight from Richmond sufficiently
disclosed the ruin of his hopes. Until then a
habit of self restraint had concealed to a great
extent his real character.
But from the time he visited Georgia, after the
(all of Atlanta, and called Gov. Brown a scoun
drel in a public speech, down to the address of
March last, in which lie refftrred to Grant and
Sherman as spaniels' whom he would whip , the
coarseness of the man’s nature has been apparent.
It was about the time of the reckless Macon
speech that he began to authorize those atrocious
outrages, which have made itleSs difficult to be
lieve in hie complicity with the plot which result
ed in Mr. Lincoln’s death.
Franchise in Tennessee.
The Act to limit the elective franchise, which
has just passed the Tennessee Legislature, bears
with severity npon those who instigated the re
bellion. The classes disfranchised for fifteen
years are substantially those excepted in Presi
dent Johnson’s proclamation of amnesty, save
the twenty thousand dollar class; but in addi
tion the law disfranchises all persons who left
their homes within the jurisdiction and protec
tion of the United States, or fled before the ap
proach of the national forces and passed beyond
the Federal lines Into the so-called Confederate
States for the purpose of aiding the rebellion.—
Thus all the leading rebels who ran away with
the Goverrftaent bank assets are debarred their
political rights for the next fifteen years.

Arrest of a Rebel. —The Grand Jury of the
present term of Court found Bills ol indictment
against several persons for Treason. Among
those indicted was Meredith-Gilmor, brother ol
the guerilla. A Bench Warrant for his arrest
was issued by Judge Emory and placed in the
hands of Sheriff Thompson. On Wednesday
evening, young Gilmor, in company with a fel
ow named Clark, who served in Harry Gilmor’s
band, came to Towsontown, when Constable
Henry Kone, acting as Deputy to the Sheriff, ar
rested Gilmor. In default of hail lie was com
mitted to the county prison. Both Gilmor and
Clark were very insolent and defiant ! before the
arrest, probably owing, in some degree, to lire
amount of whiskey they had imbibed. The for
mer, in a sort of hraggadocia style, said he knew
he Wits indicted for Treason, and intimated defi
ance to the civil officers of the county. Mr. C.
N. Whittle was deputized to assist in making
the arrest. Clark coolly informed the officers
that Gilmor was under his care and that lie meant
to take him along home, when he was admonish
ed to “stand back” by a gentle, blow from Mr.
Whittle’s fist. The law under which the indict
ment was found, reads as follows. Act of 1862,
Chapter 235, Section 202.
“If any person shall levy war against this
State, or shall adhere to the enemies thereof,
whether foreign or domestic, giving them aid or
comfort, within this State or elsewhere, and shall
be thereof convicted, on Confession in open court
or on the testimony of two witnesses, both of
them to the same overt act, he shall suffer death,
or he sentenced to confinement in the Penitentia
ry, for not less than six nor more than twenty
years, at the discretion of the court.
Important to Farmers. —Farmers are well
aware that for an ordinary soil, that is the best
fertilizer which contains the greatest
ities, —which most nearly resembles lime in its
action on the soil. If, is this quality which
1 makes it durable in its effect. A strongly am
mouiated fertilizer may have an equal effect for
one or two crops, but to make the effect lasting
and prevent injury to the’soil, there must be a
■ large, portion of the Phosphate of Lime in the
fertilizer. This is secured in the Soluble Pacific
Guano, sold by Jno. S. Reese & Co., 71 Sonth
St., Baltimore. We have tuken some pains to
i learn the character and effect of this Guano, and
are assured by those who have used it, that ti is
the best and cheapest fertilizer Farmers can buy.
It coutains just such elements as are essential to
• a productive soil. Every cargo is carefully in
spected and analyzed by a practical chemist,
to prevent imposition. It would be well lor
Farmers to bear these facts-in mind and secure
the best and cheapest fertilizer for their Fall crops.
Dikd, on the 7th of April last, in BaTto. City,
Gbouor Beauregard Lee Gilmor Dennev, aged
two months and two days.
Providence was very kind in calling away this
child so early. Had it lived to realize the infa
-1 toy and shame of those whose names were so
foolishly thrust upon it by its parents, its life
would have been one of misery aTid disgrace.
Now that Jeff. Davis has so signally failed in
bis mra schemes, and instead of the-chivalric
1 hero whom History wouldgflelight to honor, has
shown himself the most arrant coward, a disgrace
even to the sex which he assumed to save Lis
1 guilty neck, will not some of our enthusiastic
neighbors regret their haste in conferring his
name upon their offspring ? The little Jeffs have
an unenviable time before them. In the years to
come, it were better to be named Arnold, or
Burr, or Vallaudighaiu even.
Heavy Seiruishino. —On Ihsl Saturday a week,
3d inst., an old citizen of the Tenth district,
well known for bis fondness for the luxuries of
life, was quietly making hu advance up the N.
C. Railway, with the intention, it is supposed,
of storming the enemy’s works and making a
surprise capture. On the way, however, lie was
ambushed by the enemy’s videttes, at whose
hands lie suffered considerable indignity. The
following Saturday our hero called in the aid of
the civil force, but while the officer wafc proceed
ing to his place of destination with the captured
bushwhackers, reinforcements came up nnd the
prisoners were re-taken without any blood-shed,
much to the chagrin of the civil functionary
who had them in charge. The fight is not yet
over, and wie may have further developments to
make in our next.
An Outrage.—A few weeks ago a returned
Rebel soldier, rough-looking and well-armed,
caine to the residence of Mr. Jno. 11. Young,
about seven miles out the Liticrty Road and de
manded something to eat. He was given a bowl
ofmilk and other provisions which he dashed on
the floor, with, loud curse 9, and began making
. threats against the inmates.* He also demanded
a horse but finally left without committing any
further disturbance, There was no one at home
hut the female members of the family and sever
al servants, and as might he expected, all were
very much frightened. The country should be
rid of such villains.

Ashland Iron Works.— These works situaled
on the N. C. Railway a short distance above
Cockeysville, will stop work on the Ist of July.
The company has been compelled to take this
step on account of the fall in the price of iron
and the high price of freight, labor, coal -Ac.—
These works have produced from ten to fifteen
thousand tons of iron per annum, of the finest
quality. We regret the necessity which compels
a suspension of laboF f as a large uumberof work
men will thereby be thrown out of employment.
We hope.the suspension will be only for a short
time/ ’

This Wilson Fund. — At the last Meeting of the

Davisiana.
It has been discovered that in the “ last ditch ”
the inhabitants wear petticoats.
Jeff’s propensity to steal, remains with him
in bis adversity. He took to steel —hoops—when
cornered in the last ditch.
Somebody, who keeps the best of everything
that cures or kills people, advertises a sure reme
dy for felons. Wonder if it would have any ef
fect on such a monstrous felon as Jeff Davis.
Jeff Davis will succeed in one thing at least—
he will reach be hasn’t been
able io do for the last four years.
What is the difference between ancient and
modern chivalry ? Ancient chivalry wore a coat
of mail; modern chivalry,a coat of female I
A temperance man says that Davis’ conver
sion to cold water principles is one of thfeynost
remarkable changes on record. The observation
is not very clear, and can only be referred to the
probable change of beverage of the “ old moth
er,” in her new quarters.
A facetious Indian says that Jeff. Davis’ hoop
was the last war-whoop of the Confederacy.
As Jeff. Davis disclosed his sex by showing
his heels beneath the crinoline, the twenty-sec
ond verse of the thirteenth chapter of Jeremiah
is peculiarly applicable to his case; “And if
thou say in thy heart, wherefore come these
things upon me? For thegreatest of thine iniqui
ty are thy skirls discovered and the thy heels
made bare.”
Trade Mbetixg.—A meeting of the business
men of Baltimore, was held at the Exchange on
Tuesday last, for the purpose of taking into con
sideration tiie relief of Farmers and business men
in Virginia, who trade with Baltimore, and who
have suffered most heavily by the war. They
propose supplying such persons with im
plements, seeds, stock Ac., at about their cost
value, and taking the obliga|ions of the parties, |
to pay for them out of the proceeds of their first .
crop, or as soon thereafter as possible.— j
Liberal subscriptions were made toward this ,
charitable purpose by the leading business men |
of Baltimore. As an example of the immense
destruction of property in some sections of Vir
ginia, it was stated that there were destroyed iu
Loudoun Co. alone, 1,168 barnes, 49 mills, 2 fac
tories, 6 distilleries, '21,620 tons of hay, 51,500
bushels of wheat, 62,000 bushels of corn, besides
other grain, and horses, cattle and swine were
captured aud carried off to an immense extent. —
The estimated value of destroyed nad
captured by the first brigade, Colonel Strong,
was $857,716 ; by the second brigade, Gen, De
vin, $1,239,520 ; and by the reserve brigade,
$411,520— making a total in the county of Lou
doun alone, of $2,508,756.
Pre-Pay Your Postage.
The public may be surprised to learn that the
number of letters which are now beib# received
at tiie Dead Letter Office, Bent there under the
new law which makes pre-payment of postage
compulsory, amounts to more than 15,000 per
week. These figures denote great carelessness,
or ignorance of the law on the part of the sen
ders of these letters. The public should remem
ber that the old law allowing letters notpre-paid
to be sent forward according to the address, and
double postage collected of the receiver, has been
r pealed, and that now every letter not entitled
to.be carried through the mails free must have a
stamp on it, or it is sent to the Dead Letter Office.
Especial care should be taken by every person to
observe, at the time of depositing a letter in the
postoffice, that the postage stamp is firmly fixed
upon it. Such attention and scrutiny would
soon reduce the number of letters “held for post
age,” and consequently prevent the embarrass
ments nnd vexations delays now arising from
this class of letters. ■, -j; f
The Liberated ’Sr.Atiw rti Virginia.— General
Duval, in command of the United States, forces
about Staunton, bus issued an order in regard to
the liberated slaves in that section, prescribing
certain rules and regulations for their conduct in
future. _
lie says the slaves may remain with their for
mer masters, if he and they both desire it and
agree oh the terms, in which case each party
is equally bound by the contract. He admonish
es the negroes and teiisthem that they must learn
—the sooner the better—that “ they must work
for their support now, tiie same as before they
were free, in some instances perhaps even har
der tiie only difference between then and now
being that they have the wages of their labor to
themselves. He advises that all negroes yet with
their former masters remain with them, attending
to their work as usual; and.enter lata some con
tract agrecjng on the terms of compensation, to
bo paid AftAr the reaping <ifi the coming Harvest,
nnd gives notice* that nil negroes now roaming
the country wilhfafe mode at once to break up their
idle pursuits and seek employment. ll'
The Paca Triad.— The trial of the three Paca
brothers at Easton Md., indicted for the murder ;
ef Paca and Jones in Anne Arundel Co. is now
going on. Great difficulty was found in secu
ring a Jury. >h ti: s V'. A
j&B~Qov. Parker has issued an address to Ahe
people of New Jersey upon the return qf .peace,
and recommendes the proper celebration of the .
4th of July. . It '. ’ 1.1

duce which has previously paid an income till.
Payment of Maryland Soldiers.—The pay
ment of the soldiers of the Maryland Brigade,
Gen. Denison, consisting of the 4th, 7tli and
Maryland regiments,' was completed on Tues
day last, by Major F. Dorsey Herbert, paymas
ter, and his efficient clerk, Alcot. The

The soluble pacific resem- .
bles Peruvian Gauno in appearance, odor,
and composition. The value 01 all Guanos anil
Super Plkospliatea of liine, of whatever name,
depends, as is well know/ upon the per cent,
of Ammonia, Soluble Phosphate, and Bone Phos
phate 0/ Lime they contain. This Griaub 1 dif
fers from Peruvian only in-the fact that it con
tains less Ammonia^ but this difference in Am
monia is more than made up by the fact that
it contains almost much Soluble, and
Bone Phosphate of Lime. This difference
makeß it a durable fertilizer, with ail the activ
ity of Peruvian Guano, Although the price of
this Guano is only one-half the price of Peru
vian, and is not higher than the Super Phos
phates of Lime, yet it contains, as is proven by
analysis and inspection, vastly morq of ammo
nia, soluble and Bone Phosphate, t\inn is found
in the best of them. Hence its economy and
intrinsic value must render itanobjectof great
interest to farmers generally.
