WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK, THEN COMES
TIE TUG OF WAR" The family quarrel in
Baltimore county is going on with great spirit
and It is hard to say which side will come OF
victorious The com5atants tonguc-lash eaci
other in handsome style, and much to The
amusement Of spectators. 1t is complete
split-up in the democratic Tanks; and as there
is no wing candidate in the field, the contest i
is supposed will not only be severe but close
the friends OF each set of candidates being san
guine Of success. 1t is probable that, were thu
Wings to throw their whole strength on either
side it would prevail but it is doubtful whether
they will go to the polls, unless, as we hope
will be the case, they shall feel an interest ir
the passage of the biennial session bill, We
doubt whether the public meetings which have
been held, and the discussions which have Ia
ken place, have had any other effect than to
convince the people, that there are candidates
on both tickets who are not qualified to fill the
station of representatives of the county

graphic Plate of Baltimore, on a scale of unu-
sual magnifcence. 1t will be forty by twenty

Mcfarland exhibited their skill last Monday at
the Bowery Circus, N. York, and contested for

Mcfarland, upon hearing of the exploit while
travelling in the State of New York, achieved
the immense number of 6S.
LATE INTELLIGENCE FROM CAPT. FREMoNT.
Mr.. Joplin, at Independence, Missouri, Sept.
nth, direct from the Sacramento River, left
Capt. Fremont there on the Sd of April last
Capt. Fremont had received ne news of the
war, but was intending to remain where he was
until he received further orders from the Uni
ted States, which were daily expected. He,
it will be remembered, was ordered out of the
country, but did not intend to comply until he

Gaines, says the N. Y. Herald, has received
orders from Washington for the immediate
transportation Of all the troops now stationed

the Rio Grande. This looks as if the war is

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The matter COM
planned of in the subjoned communication, we
have heard spoken ofby several citizens in the
last few days. We know nothing ourselves in
reference to the matter, but presume the School
Commissioners, to whom the communication is
addressed, will have no objection to enlighten
the public mind.
To The Commissioners Of Public Schools:
Gentemen:-Having understood that the
History Of England that had been introduced
into our High Schools has been suddenly with
drawn from the scholars and suppressed, this is
to enquire respectfully, whether sectaran in
fluence has had any thing to do with this pro-
ceedinq? II so, might not complaint with equal
force be made against the use Of the History of
the United States used IN the same Schools. by
some other class Of citizens. Light is solicited.
