At His Old Work.
The bozzard hovers where the carrion is, and
when Montgomery Blair plumes his wings
there is always a fat office somewhere in the po
litical horizon. After President Lincoln got rid
of him in the Cabinet, be kept quiet until death
-took the late Senator Hftks and left his position
Vacant. -It was a golden opportunity. Before
the Spirit of the departed had time fo reach Par-
Adise, Montgomery was at Annapolis, feasting
the good-natured Legislators and getting his, po
litical machinery to work- lie failed- } and for
thk let us always be grateful to the late Legisla
ture.' 1 'Again there was a short season- of relief
from Montgomery, until his rapacious vision
Sees a possibility of edging hU way into Con
gress, in place of Ben. Harris of the. sth District.
So he had a public meeting called at Clarksville,
Howard Co., on Saturday last, and madevtbita
a : speech, villifying Secretaries Seward and Stan
ton, assuming to interpret the policy of the Pres
ident and declaring against the Registry Laiv of
the State in unmeasured terms.
A man who haaserved bis country, as long
and as faithfully as Sec. Seward, can well bear
the assaults of a driveling, unscrupulous office
banter like Montgomery Blair. : o And when he
villifiesSec. Stanton, he attacks the Administra
tion not only of President Lincoln but of Presi
dent Johnson also’’ since both have approved his
course aud have: retained him in their confidence.
Uj .The President may well exclaim “Save; me
from my friends I” if they are all such as Blair.
In speakjhg-of the Registry Law he calls it
“unconstitutional,” “without justification,”
“ instigated by partisanship ” Ac. When we
recollect that Mr. Blair wants to go to Congress
from that district, this will be understood, as
simply a cheap bid for the votes of the semi-Reb
els and cranky Union men who abound in that
section.
Tt is said that ten cities claimed to be the
birthplace of Homer. The difficulty with Mr.
Blair seems to be in the other direction. He has
been so universally disowned that there is a rea
sonable doubt in our mind whether he may not,
after all, be some disguised lord —■“ from hover
the sea.” He has frequently assumed to carry
Maryland “ in his breeches pocket,” but surely
Maryland has never cared to reciprocate the favor.
Considering that he is a sort of an interloper
here at best, he has treated Maryland rather un
gratefully. He tried to force the miseries of
gradual emancipation on her. Failing in this,
he urged the apprenticeship system. He helped
to .cheat the State out of $10,000,000 by oppos
— Ing compensation to slaveholders when it was of
fered by Mr. Lincoln,; . He has been “ every
thing at all times and nothing long.’J The par
ty that supports him to-day may expect tO ; be
kicked from under to-morrow. He reminds us
6f one of Shakspeare’s wise remarks :
“ When we in our viciousness grow hard,,
(O misery on’t) the wise Rods seat our eyes,
In our own filth dross our clear judgment; make us .
Adore our errors ; laugh at us, while we strut /(l v
To our confusion.” ~
The Reception.
Arrangements are rapidly being completed for
the Grand Reception at Towsontown, Sep. 12th.
The Committee expects to have an abundant and
substantial dinner prepared for a large number
of persons. The band of the Bth, U. S. Tnfty.
consisting of 23 members, has been engaged fpr
the occasion; The public meeting and dianer
will be held in Chew's woods, at the head of
town. The “Old Defenders ” will participate,
and a number of' prominent officers and citizens
will be present. Everything possible will be
done for the comfort and enjoyment of all who
may attend. Returned soldiers in every District
art again requested to hold meetings and prepare
toiftttend the Reception in a body, with such
music, flags and banners as may be'at their dis
posal. To-day the Committee meets at Towson
town to perfect the arrangements and receive the
money that has been collected. Collectors are
qrged to continue their efforts up tp the day, so
as to insure ample funds for the purpose. If
there is any surplus it Will be devoted to the re
lief of the widow of the late Col. Wilson.
For the Union.
To the Editors of the Balimare County Union :
Gentlemen—The course that you have seen
fit to persue in reference to the nomination of a
Candidate for, Cougress in the 2d District, has
caused a great deal of surprise to a large num
ber pf your patrons and friends of the Union
in our county. They think that your pa
pier Which is looked upon as the representative
paper of the Union men of Baltimore county,
should have refrained from advocating and urg
ing the claims of any particular person for the
nomination.
• Whilst tHey have no desire to detract in the
slightest degree from the merits and claims Of
the distinguished gentleman whomyou hove seen
fit to select as your choice, they think there are
other men of undoubted loyalty residing iq. the
district that could represent them with ability,
and who would do credit to the district and the
Union Party.
We hope, that for the future you will cease to
use yonr columns for the parpose of bringing
abodt the nomination of any candidate, but
Calmly to await the action of the nominating
Convention, and foen to give the nominee, who
ever he may be a hearty and cheerful support, as
we believe you will. Fair Play.
We entirely agree with the writer of the above,
that “ there are other men of undoubted loyalty
residing in the District that could represent it
with ability , and who would do credit to the
District and the Union party.” Whom the con
vention nominate we will support; but in the
meantime, we consider It within oar province as
Public Journalists to tell the people who are
mentioned in connection with the office, with
such Statements of their fitness for the position
as may aid them in forming a correct judg
ment. Oar colums are always open for this pur
pose to “Fair Play,” or any one else; only
Ulaittf ug of correspondents that courtesy which
is due tb our readers and ourselves aiike,— a
thing which the writer of the above seems to
have overlooked. :. , Hhir .Motif • >t

Our Schools.
Next Monday morning the doors of our School
Houses will agajn be thrown open and the chil
dren be invited to enter. Very short and very
pleasant to roost of foera, have been tbe .sunny
days of their two months vacation. Very sweet
have been their innocent enjoyments. But now
the Summer is waning. The fields are not so
greep, nor the woods so v invitiug. The games
and sports of the past two months are becoming
irksome, Rnd the little folks are about ready to
resume their books. May friendly faces every
where greet them at the School House door,, and
miy they whose task it is to guide the little feet
up the rugged steeps of Learning, deal very
gently and patiently with their tender charge.
Did it ever occur to you, Reader, that Grant s
*army , ,''fn'whoße hands was the banner of the Re
public and the fate of the nation, bore
not a destiny more grand, a hope more pre
cious, than the little army of School going chil
dren, who will next Monday resume the stege of
useful knowledge ? It is bard to realize and yet
it is true, that tbe children’s army bears the
germ of our future prosperity, our future institu
tions, our status as a nation. The children of
to-day are the men of to-morrow. Our own
brief day of authority will soon close, and our
places will be filled by those who are now sport
ing ou the play ground. They will direct civil
ization, mould public sentiment, guide national
politics, make history. The issues that vex and
the cares that burden us, will be shifted to their
shoulders. Our country’s future depends on
them. They are now in tbeir training state.—
They are in the school of discipline. How im
portant that the training be liberal, the disci
pline thorough.
The public schools of our State open on Mon
day next under the new system. We have from
time to time given our readers the features of
tbe new Law, and urged the people to an active
interest in carrying itoqt. Whatever objections
there may be to the new system, it cannot fail of
much good, under the direction of so practical
Hnd experienced a leader as the Rev. Mr. Van
Bokkelen. At least one great object is gained,
harmony and unity of training throughout the
State. That school system is the best, which is
best administered. And though foe system be
perfect, it will fail unless its management is
placed in skillful hands.
The bufdefn of responsibility foils most direct
ly upon the Teachers. And when onr schools
ojfeh, we hope that each will be supplied with a
Teacher whose heart is in the work, -and who is
fitted by nafore as well as by training for his
■ ;important task. . It is a serious matter to com
, mit the temporal and eternal interests Of our chil
dren to unskilled hands. It were better for our
school houses to be giveh up to the rats'and spi
ders, than that men should be placed within
them as Teachers, who have not an elevated
sense of Hie responsibility of their work, and a
moral and intellectual fitness for its performance.
Great and weighty responsibilities in this mat
ter also rest upon tbe parents. Without their
hearty aid and co-operation, ( nb Teacher can suc
ceed in the work. It is painful fo see how little
interest is manifested by many parents in the
education of their children, and how ready they
are to lay -the entire responsibility on tbe public
Teachers. They toil and worry until their backs
are bent and tbeir hearts are hard as their hands,
to give their children, “a start’ 1 in the world,
forgetting that the best “start” is a sound, prac
tical, moral education. If they own favorite
horse, what care they take of him, what time
they spend in his training, wbat anxiety they
manifest that he is properly fed and stabled.
The best groom Is employed to wait on him, the
best blacksmith toshoehim. Yet the same parents
perhaps; commit the immortal destinies of their
children to a Teacher whom they know not, of
whose fitness they never inquire, nor do they
ever think of entering tbe school-room to see
that itJs comfortable and healthy and that the
Teacher is striving to do his duty. The Lord
will not hold people guiltless in'ifiis matter.
“If a man could stand on the shores of the At
lantic. and with one blow knock put all the light
houses on it. would he not be responsible for the
Ship-wrecks that might occur through the dark
ness ? | itnn I
And if a man through avarice or negligence
withholds from his* child the light of truth and
knowledge, is be not responsible for tbe crimes
that child may commit ?”
Sorghum Sugar.
We have received a sample of Sorghum Sugar,
. manufactured by Peter F. Wilhelm, about one
. mile from Freeland. The syijup from which the
. sugar was granulated, was made by J. L. Gem
, mill, at Freeland, some time last Fall. The
. sample before us is of a rich, clear color, beauti
fully granulated and of a very pleasant flavor.
Mr. Wilhelm has made about 20 pounds, enough
to give tbe process a fair trial, and tp show the
economy and quality of the product. He thinks
it; can be made at from 8 to JO. cents per lb,, even
at the present price of labor and material. The
process, we are assured, is So simple, and tbe ma
• chinery required so easy of management, that
• every Farmer can readily manufacture sugar for
l his own use, or more extensively for general
■ market.
■ The sample in our hands does credit to the
r manufacturer,;and gives assurance that the time
r is not far distant, when we can provide sugars
f for domestic' use within our own homes, of good
quality and at a moderate price. Indeed, with
3 the success which has attended Mr. Wilhelm’s
i effort, the day may be approaching when Sqr
> ghum Sugar will form a leading article of export
■ from our County, ftud thus another item be ad
-3 ded to our already rich and improving resources.
1 The sample of sugar may be seen at our office,
’• and in the meantime, we will be glad to receive
specimens of manufacture from other places,
3 should others have made successful experiments.
! The growing crop of sugar cane throughout
' the county, looks well and a good
f yield. iho ''

: Views of the President.
'
, People naturally feel much interest as to the
1 real views of the Preident, on the subject of re
construction. Gen. Schenck recently made a
. speech at Chillicothe, Ohio, in which, it is said,
■ he stated the views of Persident Johnson. The
following is an extract therefrom :
, “The President might have held the rebellious
States in Military subjection, as a conquered peo
, pie, until satisfied of their entire loyalty, and
• until reinstated in their former positions by feg
, islative action ; or he might have withdrawn the
, military force altogether and left them to exer
[ rise 4heir civil functions locally and In their re
lations to the other States. From the start there
, were objections to each of these courses, and the
President combined tliem, holding a military
, force over them at the same time that he allowed
. them - to reinstate their civil .powers, and
begin again the exercise of their loyal functions.
This latter privilege, however, was only ad ex
periment, and the speaker assured his .hearers
, that President Johnson so regarded it. Only teu
days ago, in a full and free interview with him,
the President said he regarded the local govern
ments set up in the rebellious States as temporary
experiments, simply to givo the people an oppor
; tunity to show whether they will develop tbe
right spirit and policy necessary for a full resto
ration to their proper position in the Govern
ment. While regarding them as experiments
he Intends that the military poweV of the Gov
ernment shall .hold them in check, so that if they
be found straying back Into rebellious ways the
military will be there to prevent them from again
making tbe trouble they have heretofore caused.
, “Tbe President, in this conversation, referred
to the course that had just been pursued in ref
erence to tbe Richmond election, where the citi
zens manifested their rebellious spirit by elect
ing to office the very men who had recently been
in arms against the Government, It was with
his sanction that tbp military authorities bad set
abide that election, and be gave this as an exam
ple of what might be expected in other cases of a
r j similar kind.” > / oc* fo- -joi '• ;iv*/ur •■■■

News of the Week.
Among the many troubles of the Canadians
the fear of a hostile movement on the part of
the United States still holds a prominent place.
The Toronto Globe of the 26th iust., replying to 1
the remarks of a contemporary, who has been
indulging in apprehensions of an invasion of tbe
province by an army of half a million men from
the United States, makes the silly statement, with
the view of dm'u.istering censolation to the
frightened provincials, that it is absurd to sup
pose that anything fake this number of men could
be raised in this country for such a purpose. It
says that in a war with Great Britain the people
of the United States would not submit to the fi
nancial and physical drain required to put in the
field even three hundred thousand fighting men,
and does not believe that the greatest efforts
which could be exerted would be sufficient to
place on the border an army of two hundred
thousand.
The defalcations, swindling and forgery devel
opments continue, military ns well as civil finan
cial circles having now become a field of disclo
sure, and alleged tremendous frauds among ar
• my paymasters are now being brought to light.
Col. Amos Binney, Chief Paymaster in the De
partment bf Virginia and North Carolina has
been ordered to Washington on suspicion of
having made thirty or forty thousand dollars by
paying the,soldiers in Sevien-Tbirty bonds, and
sharing the profits of buying them up at a heavy
. discount by the Virginia banks, and it is now
stated that fourteen ether paymasters in that de
partment are implicated with Binney, and the
whole matter is under investigation. An officer
of the army has been arrested in New York, and
is now under examination on the charge of fraud
. and 3 forgery on the Paymaster’s Department,
, and with hav'mg been engaged in the business of
f procuring discharges for soldiers by forging pa
, pers and other criminal means. This case also,
, "will be investigated.
p An officer in authority, who visited'Jeff. Davis
[ on Friday last, says that he reported himself in

Secretary Seward, by order of President
; Johnson, has issued an order stating that “ pa
i roled prisoners asking passports, as citizens of
3 the United States and against whom no special
charges may be pending, will be furnished with
passports upon application therefor to the De
partment of State in the usual form. Such pass
ports will, however, be issued upon the conditions
that the applicants do not return to the United

persons implicated in the rebellion who may wish

Death and Inquest. the morning of the
23rd ult., the body of a man named Hugh Moo
ney, about 25 years of age, was found lying on
the Philadelphia Wilmington k Baltimore R. li
near Chase’s Station. Life was extinct and the
body was Oudly mangled, showing that the cars
had passed over it during the ihight. The de

Pennsylvania, supposed to be near Harrisburg.
He was seen in the vicinity during the previous
afternoon, drinking rather freely. His body was
buried near the spot.
The case coming to the knowledge of Charles
R. Mace, Justice of the Peace, he summoned a
jury who rendered a verdict, that the deceased,
while in a state of intoxication bittj fallen dr lain

him in the night, causing his death, /
Sad and awful warning to those who persist
in the use and sale of intoxicating liquors.
A busy Day.—Monday hist, was one of t' e
liveliest business days we have ever seen in Tow
sontown. The opening of Court brought to
gether an unusually large number of the best
citizens from the county, and during the draw
ing of the jurors, the Court room was failed with
public officers, lawyers and spectators. A very
good body of men have been summoned for tbe
juries—men who have both the intelligence and
virtue to secure the ends of justice.
The cars ou the above day were filled with pas
sengers. and the stores and shops of town seemed
doing a brisk business. A number of old sub
scribers dropped in our office and settled old
Bills, while several new names were addefa to
our subscription list and considerable job work
was brought to the office. .
Sbvkrk Accident. —On Sunday afternoon last,,
while several young men living in the vicinity of
Hereford, were returning from religious Services
at Mt 1 . Carmel Church, one of them, named Mel-,
choir Turnbaugh, was thrown from his horse
and severely injured. The young men were
passing a carriage on the road and were riding
at rather a rapid rate, when Tqynbaugh’s horse
struck the wheel of the carriage, throwing his
rider and fnlling heavily on him with his entire
weight. When picked up foe blood was stream
ing from his mouth and ears, and at last ac
counts he was lying in a very critical condition.
Drs. Mitchell and Price ardatljendlng him. This
should be a warning to young men who are in
the habit of reckless riding. >. !

The Andersonville Torturers.
What Was Meant by the Dead Line.
T ' HOW OUR MEN WERE BURIED.
The following letter was written to the New
York Post by a Georgia Farmer who lived near
Andersonville and had abundant opportunity
for knowing how our prisoners were treated by
the Rebel authorities. It will give our readers
an idea of the man Werz, whose trial is now
going on at Washington before a military court.
."1 fear that I may tire the patience of your rea
ders by continuing the subject of my previous
article, but l aro uuwilling to conclude a hurried
narrative of~the horrors of Andersonville with-
I out placing upon record my objections to the
matter as well as spirit of the letter of the.cdun
sel of Maj6r Wertz, published on the same day
• as my first communication. If they imagine
i that the sympathies of the nation can be restmin
, (by injunctions to that effect, a. they and I
readjthe character of the people very differently.
If tliey seek to prevent a judgment being passed
, upon the conduct of their client, they have begun
their efforts -too late. ) It would have been better
if they would have stifled the groans, subdued
the sighs and stifled the death struggles of
Wertz’s victims, before the winds wafted them
to the North, or they had aroused the sensibilities
and vengeance of the mourning mothers and sis
terg/Who look in vain for tidings of the lost and
tortured ones who suffered under him. The
i counsel for Wertz are probably paid for doing
. what tl\?y have done, apd so their impertinent
request will go for what it is worth. My task is
self-imposed, and results from sincere convictions
of duty to justice, to Government, to humanity.
, I desire that the people of the North. should
| know, from one who bad constant opportunities
, for seeing what amount of cruelty can be exert
ed by one who had the power, and I fear, also
the inclination, to practice it upon men who by
every law recognized by civilized beings, were
entitled to the mildest treatment that safety
would permit,
I have referred to the quality and quantity of
the food given to the prisoners, and have since
been asked if the country was really so destitute
of provisions as to require it. At the post Quar
termaster’s, at Americas, nine miles front Auder
sonville, there was turned over to the United
States Government nearly tjgp hundred thousand
pounds of bacon and an immense amount of corn
nnd.otber produce. Aiarger quantity was stored
at Albany, forty miles lower down and very
considerable stores at Oglethorpe eighteen miles
above Andersonville. These amounts were con
tinually.increasing from tithes and purchases, so
that it will be seen that there was no lack of pro
visions in the country werewith to furnish the
prisoners food.
I have heard much of what is termed the
i “ dead line;” few however, know what is meant
by it. After the completion of the prison and
its use, those confined there were accustomed to
• approach the stockade and look through the
openings between the posts or talk to outsiders.
After the assumption of command by Major
Wtertz, he caused the prisoners to be notified that
■ if they approached within thirty feet of the
.j stockade, they would be shot by the guards upon
. the outside. This limit of thirty feet was unmark
ed by any line whatever; it was ideal, and left to
the arbitrary determination of men on guard, a
; majority of whom were as incapable of judging
. of distances, or of this distance of thirty feet,
' as were the poor prisoners who were doomed if
, they transgressed it. The consequence was that
weekly, yes almost daily, the prisoners were shot
down by the guards, when these thought that
, they hrid transcended the imaginary line which
J separated thirty seven thousand human beings
. from eternity.
Upon one occasion a prisoner who had been
confined there for more than a year, rendered
. desperate.by hunger, want'and-filth, rprefering
. ‘death to a life so unutterably miserable, after
writing a, last.fond letter to bis wife in Indiana,
and bidding his friends around him farewell, de
liberately advanced towards the side of the
i stockade and calmly received the well-directed
. shot of the sentinel,, that released his soul from
j the tortures which he could not endure and
which his mnnhood sunk tinder.
The southeast corner of the interior of the
stockade was the favorite spot for this kind of prac
tice by the exeentors of Wertz’s will; for at this
point the brook or stream to which I have al
ready referred entered the limits of the prison.
Here the water was less tainted and befouled by
the drainage of the bill, and afforded a some
-1 what more palatable drink ; of course this point
was sought in preference to any other. But wo
to the unfortunate wretch who ever reached with
■ his arm beyond the prescribed bounds, to dip up
a cup of better water than the reeking current
; below kite offered 1 A sentinel’s bullet sent one
tnore spirit trembling to its God, while the
wretch’s body lay prone and washed in the very
water that his lessjfortanatecomrades must drink,
until necessity forced its removal. How many
were slain in this manner will never be known
until the records of a book unscanned by mor
tal eyes be made up in figures of liviog light.
At a short distance from the stockade was the
field where the remains of the dead prisoners
were supposed to be buried. As if the tortures
and degradations of their wicked life were in
sufficient, the culminating stroke was given by
their mode of interment. In long ditches, scarce
ly two feet in depth, without coffin or cover,
without even the ordinary decent composing of
their limbs, but carelessly hustled_ into the bed
which was to be their last, thirteen thousand and
eight hundred shrunken, ghostly bodies have been
tossed; and they lie, an “army of martyrs,
wbo3e cry will go up to Heaven’s gate in unceas
ing peals asking vengence for the “ deep damna
tion of their taking off.”
I know u not what the benevolent mission of
Captain Moore may have accomplished in this
dreary but I do know that three
months ago at least one-tenth of the whole num
ber there lying were exposed ; the dirt which
had been carelessly thrown upon them having
settled'or washes away, while legs and arms pro
tuded ltere aid there, sad signal posts of down
trampled humanity, natural monuments of fiend
ish cruelty. ’ And over this Aceldama or the
North’s best and bravest could be seen tbe shad
ows of tjie thousand buzzards’ wings as they
slowly sailed above the festering heaps, or. gloat
ed with their horrid feast, glomily sat and gazed
gpon others who had followed to this disgusting
banquet of death 1
For this and for more than this has Werfz
been summoned to account. It will not answer
to plqad for him that he was the servant of oth
ers in authority, and acted under it. It will not
do to say that the Confederate Government knew
all this and failed to apply a remedy. Until it
is shown that man must lose his manhood and
humanity its feelings, that the officer must become
a brute and blindly obey, when bis instincts and
bisiduty force him to resist or resign, tbe world
will not hold him guiltless who tramples upon
all decency and outrages all sensibility by redu
cing prisoners of war to a condition little better
than that of caged hyenas. The wail of bereav
ed wins and the pleadings of orphaned children,
joined to the stern dictates of justice, demand that
punishment should be meted to him, who show
ed no mercy npon the helpless and unarmed pris
oner) whom tbe fate of war had thrown into his
power. If I have added anything to the infor
mation of your readers, my purpose is fully ac
complished bjr tbe brief and hurried notes that I
[ hare thrown together at your suggestion.

For the Unio*.
The late Shrewabery Campmeeting.
For many years this femit of Tabernacles has
been celebrated in the woods of Messrs. John
Lowe and Isaac Hendrix, binding on tbe York
Turnpike, thirty-oue miles north of Baltimore,
and has been a Meeting of great attraction for
Preachers and People. The location has been
changed the present year to the beautiful woods
owned by Mr. Raymond, binding on the North
ern Central Rail Road, one-fourth of a mile East
of New Freedom Station. Tbe part of tfie woods
chosen for the encampment, cannot easily besur-.
passed for appropriateness. The shade is good/
the timber young and sound, and may be expect
ed to improve for years to <g>me. There hpiqg
no spring sufficiently near lor a supply of water,
wells had to be sunk and by tb<3 means a full
supply of excellent water was obtained,
without much digging. The Religious exercises
commenced on Friday night the 11th ult., and
closed the Friday morning following. The
Preaching was of the old Campmeetiug stamp,
Extemporaneous, Practical, and Experimental.—
The very objectionable practice of reading ser
mons was not indulged in ki a single instance,
consequently the Religious tone of the meeting
continued to rise from the commencement to the
conclusion. The number of conversions was not
ascertained, but there were many. The order
within (the Circle, and outside I presume, never
was better at a meeting so large. The ampunt
of religious influence was lessened by the traffic
in Ice Crcetim, Lemonade, Watermelons, Ac.—
The responsibility mustiest with the traffickers
and those giving them permission. / ;
