To Advertisers.
The Season is now here for the opening of the
Fall trade. The Harvests have been abundant
and the growing crops promise a rich return, to
the husbaudman. Country people are in a con
dition to buy, and will want an unusually heavy
supply of goods of every description, the coming
Fall. Many have been stinting themselves and
holding back for the close of the war. They
will now make liberal purchases. We call the
attention of Dealers in Fertilizers, Agricultural
Implements, Dry Goods, Groceries, wearing ap
parel—in fact, every thing that Country people
njay want, to this fact, to secure a fair share
of the trade, you must Advertise. To those who
afe disposed to do so we offer the “ Balto. Co.
Union,” confident, that from its large circula
tion and the character of its readers, no more
advantageous medium can be found in the State.
Advertisements to be inserted the same
week, must be received at the office by Thursday
noon.
Registration.
“History is always repeating itself,” is the
profound and original remark of last week’s
journal. It seems to be true ; for just as in the
days when it was written—
“No thief e’er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law,”
so it is now. All laws seem harsh and tyrannical
to the transgressor. The vilest sinner on earth,
thinks the mild exercise of Divine authority very
unjust and galling, when he remembers that
there is brimstone at the end of his course. And
so it is quite in accordance with human nature
iu the past, that those who have made them
selves subject to the exclusions of the Registry
Law> should denounce it as “unjust,” “ tyranni
cal;” “oppressive.”
In States farther South, at least some of the
people show signs of genuine repentance —a wil
lingness to submit to lawful authority—a readi
ness to accept any terms that the Government,
in its mercy, may extend to them. The spirit of
Rebellion, if not entirely destroyed, is at least
snbdued. The people down there, know and
feel that we have a Government. It has left the
marks of its power on their desolated fields, their
ruined enterprise, their joyless homes. The light
ning, in its resistless track, leaves not a more
striking impression of majesty and power, than
did our galiaot armies as they swept through the
rebellious States. They have seen and felt the
strength of the Government, and to-day for the
fir3t time, they fear and respect it.
But here in Maryland and in States farther
North it is different. Although the country was
full of men who cherished as much Treason as
hnmfan heart could bear—who felt as deep a ha
tred of the Government, and as active a sympa
thy for the Rebellion, as their colleagues in the
South, there was nothing here to drive them in
to loyalty. No hungry armies camped on their
estates and eat up their substance. No Generals
used their dwellings for a “Head Quarters” and
their parlors for a mess room. No careless sol
diery burned their fences and trod their grounds
into a highway. Overburdened with Treason,
as many of them were, they enjoyed all the priv
ileges And immunities of loyalty. And when
the Government did occasionally lay its hand on
on® of them, it wasgenerally kid-gloved. When
thfe rod of correction was applied, it was first
carefully sugar-coated. The entire course of the
Government toward these Home Rebels, has been
merciful and lenient to the last degree. And in
stotd of inspiring feelings of gratitude, affection
and loyalty, as it would have done in hearts less
given over to obduracy and Treason, it only
served to strengthen their hands and make them
more shameless in their opposition to national
authority.
The Rebels in pur njidst were the last to leave
the sinking ship of Treason. They stood by it
faithfully to the end. But no sooner was the
Federal authority restored the South :—no
sooner did the military power begin to relax,
than, with a self-assuring impudence that is
characteristic of great criminals, they came for
ward to resume their former social and civil po
sitions. The mouths of their party leaders were
unstopped and the tongues of their editors were
unloosed. They began to scheme and labor for
the control of public affairs, as though it belong
ed to them by hereditary right. It never seem
ed to occur'to them that there had been a Re
bellion ip the land and through it a great war.
They expressed great respect for “The Constitu
tion” and “The Laws,” but some how the
clause defining Treason escaped their notice and
the Law for its punishment was never referred
tof. They balked and argued as though the bloody
struggle of the past four years had been only a
, coolest between political parties, in which the
appeal was to the sword instead of the ballot
box. When the question was decided, they
claimed that both parties stood just where they
did before it was opened, as at the close of a po
litical campaign. Neither 3ide, at least their side,
had done nothing but what, under the circum
stances, was fair and honorable. Neither had
forfeited any rights : neither had subjected
themselves to any punishment.
Fortunately for the Union people, fortunately
for the prosperity of the State, our late General
Assembly thought differently. Moral philosophy
teaches that it is the intention which makes an act
criminal. And on this ground as well as from
the fact that they had given active aid and sym
pathy to the public enemy, these men were guil
ty of a high crime against the State. It was a
crime for which public safety and justice to loyal
demanded punishment. It would have
been a premium on Treason—a short sighted
statesmanship— a political crime , to have handed
over the State, with all its weighty interests, to
the very men who four years ago, came so near
hurling her into the vortex of secession. After
arresting the assassin, do we return him his wea
pons and send him out to repeat his murderous
assaults ? And would it not have been rninous
to the best interests of the State, if it had remain
ed possible for the Rebel element at once to re
sume sway 7
To prevent this result, (and tP provide a prop
er punishment for Treason,) the Registry Law was
enacted. It weighs heavily on the friends of “the
late SodiherO Confederacy” in our midst. It is
the hardest nut they have as yet tried to crack.
It js the first intimation they seem to have had
that four years of war, have marked some chan
ges among ns— that Treason is crime, and that
lqyatty in war as in peace, is a citizen’s duty.—
Military oaths innumerable have been swallowed
with evident refkh. But the “tyrannical ' Regie
try Law i 4 sot satisfied with ea oath. The Journ
al JP* of that dess exhaust their columns
ia devising expedients to evade its scrutiny. In
their extremity they turn la stigmatising the
Law aad the offiesrs appointed to execute it.—
Finding this avail, they begin to wheedle
sad cajole the Bsgistars, patting them ea the
bgcfc i§4 tail tag gm what good fellows thsy
are for putting such a mild construction on the
odious clauses of the Law. It won’t do, gentle
j men. The officers are sworn to stand faithfully
by its provisions, and the Uniou people demand
that thej shall do so.
We admit that disfranchisement is a serious
exercise of authority. So is hanging. And the
best way we know to avoid both, is to avoid
the crimes for which they are the penalty.
Moxieo and The Monroe Doctrine.
When our fore-fathers came to this Continent,
they found Mexico inhabited by a people who
had made considerable progress in civilization.
Their system of agriculture and internal improve
ment was good. Some of the arts and sciences
had attained a good degree of perfection among
them. Their system of religion, though rude
and idolatrous, was not barbarous. Their ar
chitecture was of a high order, and “the Halls
of the Monteauinas,” as their royal palaces were
called, were famous for their splendor as late as
the war of 1848. But the ancient glory of Mex
ico has departed. Dragged and torn by civil
factions, cursed with ambitious and unscrupu
lous leaders, for the last half-century her fertile
plains have been one graud field of civil commo
tion, outrage and bloodshed. In ten years her
government has been overthrown a half-dozen
times, and so unsteady is her politics, that the
people scarcely know from day to-day who is
their ruler. The Liberal party yielded to the
Priest party ; the Priest party to Republicanism ;
Republicanism to Imperialism, aud during all
these changes, there has been no cessation of war
and bloodshed. A few years ago, England,
Fiance and Spain united in an expedition to
take l-barge of the Mexican government, to com
pel the payment of a certain Claim Which they
held against it. England and Spain soon saw
that the object of the French Emperor was to
take permanent charge of the throne, apd pru
dently withdraw Napoleon went ahead, pro
claimed Maximilian of Austria Emperor of Mexi
co, and supported his authority with thirty
thousand French troops.
Juarez, the Constitutional President ofMezico,
has been trying to maintain himself and the lib
erties of his countrymen, with a handful of fol
lowers. But his little army,. lacking organiza
tion and equipment, has been driven from post
to post, the leading cities and fortified places
have yielded to the French veterans, aud his
Government is as fugitive and precarious as was
that of Jeff Davis in his latter days.
We naturally feel sympathy for a neighboring
people, who are having a foreign government
forced upon them against their wishes, and are
gradually seeing their dearest privileges taken
from them. But more than this. We cannot
see a European Monarchy established upon our
shores, so near our own borders, without a feel
ing of apprehension. It is contrary to our Dem
ocratic ideas. It is contrary to the policy of our
government announced by President Monroe in
his message of December 2, 1825. This is known
. as “The Monroe Doctrine” and is given in the
following words :
“With the existing colonies or dependencies
of any European power we have not interfered,
and shall not interfere. But with the govern
ments who have declared their independence, and
maintained it, and whose independence we have
on great consideration and on just principles ac
knowledged, we could not view any interposi
tion for the purpose of oppressing them, or con
trolling in any other manner their destiny by
any European power, in any other light than as
a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition tow
ard the United States. •
It is certain that a large majority of our peo
ple deeply sympathize with the oppressed Mexi
cans. Many think our government should give
them the necessary military aid to drive Maxi
milian and his invaders from our coast. The
course of the French Emperor during our late civ
il contest has embittered the people against him.
There fs a settled conviction in the minds of our
people that Maximilian must not and will not
be allowed, firmly to establish himself on the
Mexican throne. Now that the Rebellion is put
down, we have the means and the leisure to at
tend to these insolent invaders. What course
our Government will pursue in the matter re
mains to be seen. It will probably endeavor to
avoid any resort to force, but if we mean to
maintain the “Monroe Doctrine,” Maximilian
had better seek a throne elsewhere. Tyranny
and oppression cannot long flourish on this Con
tinent, and if be persists in bis effort, he may
yet meet a usurper’s death.
The Soldiers* Reception.
Everything connected with the Soldiers’ Re
ception at Towsontown on the coming 12th of
September, Is progressing finely. Reports from
all parts of the county, indicate that the occa
sion will bring together the largest assemblage
of people that has ever convened in Towsontown.
We rejoice to see so much interest manifested in
the matter. Let every man, woman and child,
who feels that we owe a debt of gralitude to
our returned heroes aid in the work and
make it a point to be present. Come in
cars and in wagons, on horSe and foot; bring
your wives and children with you, and let us
make the coming 12th a day “long to be remem
bered” in Baltimore Co. It is fitting that we
should rejoice at the happy termination of the
war, and that we should honor those whose ef
forts aided in securing the great result.
Govs. Bradford and Swann, Lieut. Gov; Cox,
and other well-known State officials, together
with Maj. s®n. Hancock, Gens. Keply, Denison,
and other prominent Maryland officers, have
been invited,: and will doubtless be present.—
Bands of music will be on band to enliven the
occasion, and ample provision will be made for
the comfort and entertainment of all. Returned
Union Soldiers’ of every grade, throughout the
county, are brged to organize and make arrange
ments to attend in a body, dressed in uniform,
if possible, and bringing such music, flags and
banners, as they may be able to secure. Every
arrangement possible, will be made with the
Rail Road Company for the accomdatioh of all
who may come by that line.
At a meeting of the Committee, held at Tow

These gentlemen are earnestly requested to meet
at Towsontown on Saturday next, September
2d, at 11 o clock A. M. to make such final ar
rangements as may be necessary. The collect
ing Committee which was announced several
weeks since, will return the money they have
collected, on that day, or send it by any member
of the above Committee. •
It is important that continued effort be made
for the collection of funds throughout, the coun
ty, and that the amount be handed over to the
committee by next Saturday. ,s
Convention or Sctioot Commissioners.—A con
vention of the School Commissioners of the
State was held in Baltimore daring the week,
presided over by Ll. Gov. Cox. Mr. Van Bokk
eltn, State Supt., and other friends of education
took aa active part in the proceedings. Impor
tant business was transacted.
Tax 12th Scrrnmm.—•This being one of the
State Holidays, we presume no public officer I
•f tie Stole need do any official duty on that
day. This will relieve the Registers aad give
them aa opportunity of attending the Soldiers’
Nows of the Week.
A private letter from Fort Riley, of a quite re
ceut dute, says the Indians have been very trou
blesome for several days, and that about forty
men of the 11th Kansas Cavalry were murdered
by them at Fort Yarah, near Fort Riley, and that
the Indians had also captured a train of military
stores. The soldiers killed were a part of the
trade escort.
Reports from all parts of the Northwest, in re
gard to the coining crops, continue to improve
the prospects for a big yield. The weather the
past week has been most excellent for farmers'
purposes.
The Boston appointments of Collector, Naval
Officer, and Surveyor have been made. Ex-
Vice President Hamlin succeeding Mr. Goodrich
as Collector; Gen. Underwood succeeding Mr.
Tuck, as Naval officer ; and Mr. Gooch succeed
ing Mr. Phelps, as Surveyor.
The Democrats of Minnesota held their con
vention for the nomination of State officers on
Wednesday, the 16th inst. Resolutions were
adopted sustaining the reconstruction policy of
the President; in favor of the Monroe doctrine;
opposing a protective tariff, and denouncing the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.
The rebel General Ewell, recently liberated
from Fort Warren, called on President Johnson
on Saturday last.
The Richmond Republican professes to have
“reason to hope” that President Johnson will
visit Richmond before the end of August, aud
farther trusts, that he will bring his whole Cab
inet with him. He is promised a cordial recep
tion as “the best and truest friend oftheSouth.”
There are in Des Moines, lowa, and vicinity,
about 600,000 pounds of wool, well handled and
in good condition for market. It was clipped,
for the most part, from Spanish merinos import
ed from Michigan and Ohio. A large part of
the clip remains in hands of producers aud their
agents.
The Ohio “Democratic State Sovereignty Con
vention” met at Columbus on the 21st and nomi
nated ex-Congressman Alexander Long for Gov
ernor. Strong State sovereignty resolutions
were adopted.
R. 11. Gillett one of the counsel of Jeff. Davis,
informs the Albany Argus that Davis ha 3 no
more information concerning his trial than oth
ers have, and quotes from a letter received from
his client, dated on the 15th lost., in which that
individual says : “ I am sltll ignorant of the
charges against me and the sources of them'.;” from
which it may be inferred that J. D. still affects
the same air of injured innocence lie did when he
was engineering the rebellion at Richmond.
Gen. Grant had an enthusiastic reception at
his home in Galena, Illinois, on Saturday last.
Tn response to an address of welcome by Hon.
E. B. Washburne, his friend (roiu his first en
trance into the army five years ago, the Lieut.
General said that the “Rev. Mr. Vincent, who
has come out on the train from Chicago, has
kindly consented to return my thar.ks for the
hearty welcome you have given me.” Mr. Vin
cent was General Grant’s former partner iu Ga
lena, and iu a brief address returned the Gener
al’s thanks, saying that Grant regarded Illinois
as the State in which he retains the right to cast
his vote, and Galena as his home.
Another extensive forgerj .has been brought
to light in New York. George Gladwine,
whilst at the St. Nicholas Hotel, forged the
names of two parlies by which he obtained some
000 in money and $200,000 in railroad bonds,
and then decamped. He was pursued and arrest
ed in New Haven, Connecticut and the bonds
, recovered.
It is said that a party of sienlific gentlemen
who have explored the gold mining region in
Virginia represent the interior of the State to be
very rich in gold,* silver, iron and other metals,
in an undeveloped condition.
Fon Congress. —A few weeks ago, in speaking
of the men who were mentioned to succeed Col.
Webster as Representative in Congress from this
district, we ventured to remark that no one seem
ed so eminently qualified for the important po
sition, ns Gov. A. W. Bradford, the present,
able and distinguished Chief Executive of the
1 State. The remark sbems to have accorded well
with the feelings of a large majority of the Union
men throughout the county. From all sections
we hear expressions of preference for Gov, Brad
ford, and the possibility of securing so able a
successor to Col. Webster, gives general satis
faction. The loyal people of the district would
have been well satisfied, had Col. Webster seen
proper to retain his position in Congress. Here
’ ceived, as he merited, a large share of public
confidence, and his course gave general satisfac
tion. But by becoming Collector of the Port,
he ceases to be a Representative, and the duty of
choosing his successor must be performed at the
election in November next. It is important that
the choice fall on a good man. Questions of
great importance to the State and nation will be
brought before the coming Congress, requiring
in its members, the most liberal statesmanship,
the most unflinching loyalty, and the strictest in
tegrity of character.
Such a man we believe to be Gov. Bradford,
and the District would do itself honor in his
selection.
The Shooting Festival,— The great event of
the week in the city, was the Festival of the Ger
man Target Shooting Association. It was held
on the grounds of the association on Belair Ave
nue, and continued four days. Immense crowds
of German as well as American citizens, were id
attendance, during its continuance, and joined in
the amusements and festivities of the occasion.
On Tuesday the grounds were visited by Gov.
Swann, Mayor Chapman and other officials, sev
eral of whom made speeches. In the evening
the prizes were awarded for the best shooting.—
They are quite valuable and were contributed by
citizens of Baltimore. The occasion was enliven
ed With vocal and Instrumental music, Gymnas
tic and other performances, while Lager Beer
establishments did a heavy business. Mr Fred
erick Kramer was crowned “ King ” on Wednes
day last, he lmviug done the best shooting, a oii
The Advantages of Emancipation.
One hardly knows whether to rejoice or .to be
amused at the honors now paid at the South to
Labor, that hitherto much abused and despised
divinity. The New Orleans Picayune Says the
demoralization of the negroes of Lbuisiana has
led the whites to take hold vigorously 1 and in
dustriously of the necessary work, anil, in con
sequence, they have produced some of the best
crops now growing. The Southern Cultivator
(of Georgia) shows the advantages that will ac
crue to the household from the mistress attend
ing to it herself. Her aesthetic sense will no
longer be troubled by a shabby row of negro
shanties. She will not be responsible for the
nurture of babies not her own. There will lie
no sick to atteud to, nor idle and quarrelsome
servants to keep busy and peaceable, nor any
more cutting-out of “vast piles” of negro cloth
ing. And domestic theft can now be easily
traced and fastened upon the delinquent, and,
“with the gaug of little negroes turned off”'
there may be some fruit left in the orchard, mid
perchance some vegetables in the kitchen garden.
In town, to he sure the duties ofthe mistress
will be considerably increased. But then, what
a gain it will be to call upon her children for
help ! We mav venture to.say, that, for the girls
to take care of their own chanthers and the fami
ly rooms, yea, and even to be required to do if
“will be a life-lone benefit to them.” Mote yet :
“If they have to pick up and arrange what they
have carelessly scattered, to remove the dirt and
Utter they bring in, they will soon be educated
to neat and orderly habits.” After this, no Won
der that the Lynchburg Republican can declare:
“Labor is a duty every man owes to himself as
well as to the community in which be lives,” or
quoting Carlyle : “Consider bow, in the meanest
labor, the whole sonl of man is composed into a
kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself
to work I”— The Nation.

Robiiekies in the County. —ljHst Thursday
night a week, the house of Mr. Mi t tan, coal deal
er of Baltimore, who purchased the “Cross prop
erty,” at Govanstowu, was entered by a robber
or robbers, Hud some SSO or S6O in foreign coin
stolen. The entire family were absent for the
night, and the house was securely locked. The
robbers gained entrance by forcing open the
shutter of a back building. There was a large
sunt of money iu the drawer of a desk or Secre
tary, much of which was in government bonds.
These bonds were in envelopes marked “Deeds,”
“Mortgages” Ac., and were handled by the rob
bers, but uone were taken, they probably being
deceived by the labels. AbOiit the same time,
another house in the neighborhood was entered
and a lot of clothing taken therefrom.
Robberies are becoming frequent in the coun
ty. It is but a short time since Mr. Klothower of
Powhattan had a fine horse stolcu. A good.tnare
was stolen front Mr. Smardon in thei3th district,
not long since. The Shoe s.toreof Mr. Steiber in
Towsontown was entered a few weeks ago and a
quantity of manufactured work taken therefrom.
These occurrences admonish us that there is an
organized band of thieves in the county, prob
ably operating in conjuuction with others.in.the
city. It would be well for every body to hear in
mind and keep buildings and valuables well se
cured, with a little gunpowder always on handr
for the benefit ofthe invaders.
Towsontown Railway. —The extension of the
track from East St. to Holiday has been comple
ted, and we were informed by Mr. Tyson, the
able superintendent, that the cars would begin
running on it, on Monday next. By this ar
rangement, the Double Deck Gars will run di
rectly, from Towsontown to Holiday street near
the theatre. A small car will carry passengers
to and from North Avenue Station and Charles
street. This will be a great accommodation to
passengers and will doubtless increase travel
over the road.
The Company i:> also constructing a new siding
between Reese’s and Rogers' near Tow
sontown, for convenience in passing cars going
in opposite directions. The road is in good or
der throughout with good cars aud fine horses,
The Company deserves credit for its energy and
a manifest desire to accommodate'the public..,,
By advertisement in another column, it will he
seen that the cars will hereafter leave Jbb City
Hall, on Holiday St., at. 35 minutes past each
hour, from 7.35 in the morning, to 7.35 in the
evening. The price of Tickets -by the package
has also been reduced.
Improvement. —We arsrtcld that Mr. Reynolds
and others interested, have resolved to grade and
Macadamise the road, know as “Feather-fled

avenue to Swann Lake, passing the residence
of Aug. .W. Sweeney Esq. This iu very.desira

the upper part of the Lake, making one of the
finest drives in any direction frbin-the &ty. It
occurs to us however, that the road leading to
the Lake should go down by Mr. Perot’s, stri
king the Lake about the centre, tfnd extendi nU
thence down to the dam, connect with toe 3 rbaff il
leading to the Falls Turnpike. As it is, .there.
no connection between the upper and lower
parts of the Lake for vehicles, so th'dt persons
taking either of the two roads leading thereto,
must leave their horses and cross the Rail Road
bridge on foot tosee the whole of the Lake. This
is very inconvenient and if a road Were run from
“ Feather Bed Lane,” down to the dam, or from
Mr. Perot’s down to the danj, it would bean et J
ceedingly pleasant drive and would greatly in
crease travel on th Avenue. ituii at a j-i*

Sunday School Celebration. —The Celebra

- Communicated.
BaLtimorb Co., Near Nkw Markbt, 1
August 17th, 1865. J
To thc Editors of the Diltimore Co. Union :
Gentlemen —Having just returned from Wash
ington, L). C., where 1 went to purchase some
Government stock, which are daily pffered for
sale there,* anJ ha'virig succeeded to my satisfac
tion, permit me through the medium of your
valuable toqjiyp few words of advice
to Farmers/anti country people in general, who
like myself intend to visit pur great capital.
Many strangers are flo w there for the first time,
and are desirous to 6ee “ the Lipn as well as
to purchase “ Mules.” If they hare the good
fortune to subscribe .for your excellent paper
(whiefe #wi*y'skhslWe man should do) and read
this short lettered! will perhaps, help them to
make out an economical program me'as it re
spects timijtiqnd travel. I shall endeavor to di
rect theft f& ns t“* n y sights a® possible. Cue
qf the first things to do, dear Farmers, is to take
off your jewelry i An unsuspicious jostle in the
street may cost you your watch, or your valua
ble set of “charms.” Leave these with your
friends, and do not believe that you have a pock-,
ejt .inaccessible to other peoples fingers, where
you eah safely curry them. Get iuto no “ brown
studies” before picture windows, and ifaerowd
gathers about-you act on .the Mexican word—
“ Vamose i. e., go on your way, “rejoicing”
it’ you have lost nothing. Observe the same
caution in all picture galleries and stores. Ido
not wish to inspire you with a general suspicion
that the person who stahds next to you, or sits
next in a Rail Road car, is a pickpocket. But
he or she may be, however well dressed, and
seemingly, like yourself bent only on looking at
sights or purchasing Mules. Do not enter a
crowded stage or car. Do not accept the gratui
tous civilities of a stranger—and remember that
it is not an units all l trick <ff the artistic thief to
dress in 'boi'hetpim, aitd imitate honest country
people in their appearance and manners. If you
should want direction to any particular part of
the city .ask a police officer. It his duty to
' ' you that Information.
With this introduction, I will set out. If you
are determined to kill, your best friend, “ time ”
1 before the sale of Government stock fakes place,
remain in your room and calculate how muclj
money:you can afford to put in stock, the proba
ble losses thereon, how much you can spare to
see the “ Lion ” and to purchase presents for the
loved ones at home. Alt this will take you until
time to'attend the sale which you never should
1 lose sight of. After making your purchase of
1 stock, you must see that they nre not stolen or
' exchanged for worthless ones ; then make tracks
for home as fast as you can.
1 have said nothing of the theatres, and other
places of public amusement because these are
' self-advertising institutions—and then they are
nothing to boast of at.best. The drama has fal
len into neglect, anij seldom rises to a level that
• merits commendation or challenges criticism. —
1 If my companions are not too weary, I would
commend them to visit the press room of one
1 of the daily papers, which that of the Washing
ton C/irorliele, is perhaps the most eligible.—
1 nothing can be better adapted to impress the
: mind with the power of this immense agency for
! moving popular opinion, than to contemplate its
freatness when working off the daily issue.—
here are many private establishments where
* business is conducted on a grand scale, that
would give. the stinger a vivid idea of the rust
less flpaiftdejAttgable labor constantly going on
in that great capital./ The Government priuting
! establishment is conducted on a grand scale
where, if the visitor desired it, his brains might
be bronght out Ln.a bur volume, manufactured
1 from his own linen in the short space of twenty
four hours. One word more dear Farmers, be
tvare of “ Peter Funks ” (Mock Auctions) which
1 are calculated to deceive the stranger and make
him pay dearly for what he may purchase. In
\ conclusion, Messrs. Editors, 1 will state, with
vour that I brought home with me
L from Washington, a lot of excellent mules, which
I offer for safe, cheap. More Anon.
. I am Gentlemen, yours Respectfully.
5 James Hall.
We think it w,ouid be well for our correspon
dent to whether hjp mules formerly belong
ed to Sherman's “Bummers,” as in that case
they would be more valuable on account of their
sharp scent and their fine ears for music. We
will be glad to hear from New Market again.—
Eds.

• ■ For the Union.
Baltimore Countt, Aug. Sd, 1865.
Messrs, “Union —lf you will allow
, ibfl R spape'iin your, polaipns, I will give
your readers a little account of t a trip I lately
made through portions of Maryland and Penn
sylvania.
Auer leaving Haiti more by the N. C. R. W.,
r *jhe first town I stopped at was York, where I
found a first-class Hotel—the “National,” kept
by that accomplished lady, Mrs. West. Along
tjhe entire. hn4>f -thfe: N._C. R. W. there are
and improvement. At
l Harrisburg, I stopped at the “Union” Hotel
1 kept by J. W. Taylor, a. good, loyal man, and
excellent landlord. Harrisburg is a great Rail
road centre and was one of thelargest and most
important rendezvous for soldiers during the
war. Then taking the comfortable cars of the
Cumberland Valley R; R. I passed up through
Mechariicshurg, Oarlisle, Shippensburg and
other nourishing towns, through the heart of
the famous Cumberland Valley. Everywhere
wealth and prosperity seemed to reign and
crops looked most promising. But what a shock
it was to look upon the ruins, of the once beau
tiful town of Cnambersburg! The leaders of
the rebellion have a fearful account to settle for
its destructions JTb® pftople, however, are hard
at word repairing the damage, and putting up
new building. A numbek of fine hotels are al
ready yioprplfcted And tee fit by Messrs. Miller,
srt>ucti, Er-SMriir lirowri ana others, and the
Court House is noarly rebuilt.
From Chajnbersburg I went to Greeneastle, a
flourishing towhron the Franklin Railroad, and
thence across the-country to Waynesboro. This
is a: prosperous little town. * A few year* ago a
saving fund was established with a small cir
culation, nowyrowa into a National
Bank, witlr a capital or $1307)00. Messrs. Frick
A Geiaer, manufacturers of the celebrated Gei
'scr’s Grain Separator,have their extensive ma
chine shops here. Passing down street my
attention was attracted by one of these machines
rjuliihy'.fctt engine attached to a tannery, with
an entire household, male and female, at work
around-it. It is no woadeMhe rebels can’t un
derstand: thW“ Dutch Yankees.” They'go at
everything with sfleh vigor. Gov. Bradford has
likewise a “ separate ” at work in Maryland,
cleaning the chaff out of the wheat. .The peo
ple about .Waynesboro are very hospitable.—
Their latch-string is always out.'the meals they
set before you would tempt the appetite of a
king and their 0. R, is of the beat quality. The
■cjrops.'wttn the exception of wheat, were very
abundant this season, and within a circle of
five or six inilds I found 20 mills, making about
100.000 barrels of flour each year.
From here I passed through Loitersburg, a
pleasant village in Maryland, on to Hagers
town. ,2t i* astonishing what an amount of
?;ran is.raised in this section. Ail they want
ully La develops it, is the extension of the W.
M. R. R.
Passing back through Waynoaboro, I called
on the editor otihe WiUage Record, a clever fel
low whAMtenVi*hnhw machinery in order'for
1 grinding domestic rebels.
I Frpm.hcre across the South Mountain, bypri
vatefcbrtfeyartde, in a sort of “ nlc nic ” style,
stopping at MSOntorey Springs, where there is a
fine hotel kept by Mr. Miller, and full of boar
iders. . i,
Thence passing through Fairfield, we reached
Gettysburg, putting up at Mr. McClelland’s
Rotel. Here our rejoicing Was turned into sad
ness. to see the hundreds of our countrymen,
resting peacefully in thqur pawow homes, and
to think how it was tudy came there, ia enough
to make the heart ache. Taking a survey from
the orest of Round Top, it seema that an all
wise Providence directed the affairs of our army
at Gettysburg. To describe the position is im
possible, and wo would advise those who have
never.'bean there, to pay this famous place an
cstriy visit The Southern Confederacy started
or> its downward career from this place, nor
stopped until its ehieftain found himself within
it* wife's Pettiooat
I J- ... I M ~ /
On our homeward route wo stopped at Tow
sontown, with its shady Court
House, and its big hotel—the “ BmMftltor,” so :
admirably kept by its enterprising landlord.—
After all, there’s no place like pfote, and so
we found it. ’ Al nion '
