O n,se,ino oGthrty, or Whereabouts, appoint

bIv informed made their appearance, looking

more times they will seize upon every man, wo-

Tbe second act of the farce consisted IN the
1on,ion of a letter of Instructions TO our dele
oates 10 vote against MIR. LEIGH, any hOp, ana
IN nassing a resolution that THET the THIRTY FIVE
or roRTy! "look upon the course when Colonel
Svru has marked out for his constituents as EN-
,ar,y INSUFFICIENT &c. &C. Oh dear. III our
straight forward and above-bodrd delegate can
stand this he is fre-proof. Time VIII snow
whether his constituents have not as much con-
6leuce in him. as in the wire workers and string
nullers, who have kindly taken Frederick coun-
~ under their special protection.
Act 2 Scene l. The meeting (the THIRTY
ryr OR FoRrY) then appointed committees Tor
The nurpoSe of obtaining signatures 10 the artl
cL, for detoRdting Mr. Leigh. These commit
ices amount To something like one hHndTed. AS
his generally the custom to appoint committees
from the members of meeting, we presume,
some new rule ofarithmetic has been discovered,
whereby thirty fire or forty can be s~bdtr'ded
into one hundred. The meeting adopted an adj
dress 10 the people of Frederick county, IN
which Mr.. Leigh is first killed and then knocked
in the head, and the thirty fire or forty marched
out of the Court House Tith0ut music and under
III, impression, doubtless, that they had done
wonders.
We are happy to state that the national re-
publican leader of the Jackson party Of Frede-
rick came out on the occasion-it looks as II he
were about to assume the responsibility OF his
writings which is as 1t should bet is right to
know uhO is rho"
The thirty-fre or forty adjourned to meet
again on the lst day of November Court; whe-
Their they will put the balance of Frederick coun-
ty on their committee, in the mean while, We
know not. While they are about it, they might
as well take the whole county; it will be saw
ing of time and trouble Winchester Rep.
Yankee Enterprise-The brig Margaret,
which sailed from this port on Wednesday last
for Savannah, carried out party of nine hardy
and industrious Yankees, to pursue numbering
operations upon the Little Ocmulgee river, in
the State of Georgia. These men are employ
ed by the Company, residing principally in this
city, which We mentioned last winter as having
purchased large tract of timber land in that
State. The growth of timber upon their land
is chiefly the long leafed yellow pine, which pro-
duces durable and most excellent lumber, the
use OF which is daily increasing in this country
and abroad. The Company has, We under
stand, tour mills containing is saws already in
operation, together with flour mill and well
stocked plantation around the mills. Their in
tenuon is to operate by northern labor, and to
Keep constant supply Of every species Of lum-
Der at Darien, near the mouth of the Alatama-
ha Upon this river, much the largest in the
state, there are now plying two steamboats,,
winch 90 past and within mile of the Compa-
nyS property.
The Alalamaha, something over 100 miles
rom It's mouth, divides into two large branches,
which are named the Ocmul zee and Oconer ri
VerS; upon the latter is situated MiIled geville
Tue capital OF the State, and upon The other,
equaAy distant from the junction the flourish
ing town OF Macon. Between these large ri
verS, wilhln the limits ofsteam navigation, within
on miles o: the capital, and in the very centre of
Tue state, lies the tract of 100000 acres purcha-
&c oy the Company, whose enterprise we are
nouclng We wish success and prosperity to
