Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1846-01-15

We learned yesterday that the small pox
had made its appearance in our county,
about twenty miles from this village. at a
place known as Cobb Point. 1t appears
the disease was brought there by free ne
gro, sailor IN one of the vessels plying
between that place and Baltimore, and that
there are now, at this point and vicinity,
some ten or more cases. This malady has
been bordering on us for some time. and we
have been anticipating its appearance. We
would advise persons to procure the vac
cine matter as speedily as possible, and
have every member of their family vacci-
mated. In Prince Georges almost every
family has awaited itself of this precaution.
We see that this fearful maIady is extend
ing It's ravages far and near, and certainly
the only safeguard from which is VAGINA
Iton, therefore we hope none will fail to
avail themselves of it, as in many cases one
grain of preventive is worth ton. Of cure.
This disease is becoming more prevalent in
Washington city, we learn, than many are
inclined to believe. There were several
cases, a few days since, in the heart of the
city, one of which died.

HE PHILADELPHIA SLAVE CAsE-We
learn from the Sun that on the 9TH inst.
further hearing of the case of the colored
man named John Brown, OH the charge of
being slave, and fugitive from the State
of Maryland, took place before the U. S.
District Court at Philadelphia, Judge Ram
dali presiding. A number of witnesses
were examined OH both sides. The court
was addressed by J. G. CIarkson, ESQ. on
the part Of the master, and by Edward
Hopper, Esq, on the part Of the slave.
The Judge then delivered his opinion, re-
manding the slave to the custody of his
master, who, in the afternoon, started with
him in the cars for Baltimore. The slave
was arrested by officer Reese, and is the
property of DR.. Fisher, Of Kent county,
Maryland.
APhiladelphia paper says when the court
Iadjourned it was apprehended that an at
tempt would be made to take the slave from
the hands of the officers, as a large con-
course of colored people were then gather
ed about the main building of the State
House, manlfesting every symptom of an
Outbreak. In expectation of this strong
police force cleared the building of them,
driving them out in front, while the prisoner
was taken out of the back door and lodged
safely in the dock of the Mayors office
As soon as this was ascertained, the crowd
gathered around that building and remained
there until late in the afternoon, when the
prisoner was taken out of the dock, put
into cab and driven down to prison as
fast as possible. A great number of color
ed people went after the carriage, but being
unable to overtake it finally gave up the
chase

The Sun of last fridays issue discourses
somewhat tartly Of a proposition submit
ted to the House on the 9th instant by Mr..
RoBT. S. REEDER, delegate from this coun-
Ity,in regard to our free negro population, and
winds up by saying it is done ''more in sor-
row than in anger" From our knowledge of
Mr.. r., and, too, from his kno Wedge of his
Constituents, we are led to believe the pro-
position must have been intended as Jest,
although even in thG sense he is fensurable
for offering it. We do not say this to screen
him from well-timed and just rebuke for
advancing such rash proposition. Mr.. r.
at the time he submitted this novel idea to
the House, was no doubt aware of its utter
The question of our
free negro population is Of too grave ma
ture to the State at large to be passed upon
by the Legislature other than with mature
wisdom and all due elaboration, and we
can bat think Mr.. R. is fully sensible of its
importance, and that perhaps he but wishes
to appear before the House, on this ques-
ton, clothed in the garb of eccentricity.

TREATY WITH THE wINNEBAGoEs.

The Delegation of Winnebago Indians, having
at length concluded Treaty with the United States
Commissioners have departed for their homes.

the Union, are as follows:

LATE FROM SANTA FE.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Republican
communicates the subjoined intelligence, brought
by company of traders from Santa Fe. Not
placing any confidence in the report of the assem-
bling Of large Mexican force in that quarter we
only regard il of interest as showing the continued
quietude OF our camp:
"ISDEPESDENcE, 0CToBEH 3, 1876.

sick volunteers, belonging to the first regiment Of

ments have been considerably reduced by the same
cause as will be seen by the subjoned extract of

health of the remaining troops had much improved:

GEN. TAYLoR's DISPATCHES.


Knowing the anxiety of our readers to possess
the official accounts of the hard-fought battle at
Monterey, we insert General TAYLoR's reports Of
that terrible conflict, although, from the anxious
and busy moment at which they were written, they
are necessarily brief and generals but if they furnish
no particulars in addition to those contained in the
copious private accounts already published they in
the main confirm those statements. One thing we
must OF course look for in vain in these reports
any others from the same source and that is, any
thing like adequate notice ofthe share of the chief
commander in these sanguinary but most brilliant
operations, which, however humanity may mourn
over them, uncaused and uncalled for by any
public necessity or public veal, have shed un-
fading lusre on the of country and en- dur
ing honor on the name of the, commander These
reports are marked by the simplicity, clearness and
modesty which have distinguished all dispatches
from the same source
The official paper, the Union, informed the pub
lie yesterday that orders would be Immediately
transmitted to Gen. TAYLOR to terminate the arms-
tice, and advance; and we understand that an Off
Ger maj. ]. GRAHAM will SET out this morning
with all speed for Gen. TAyLoR's headquarters,
with the orders alluded to by the Union.

FROM MEXICO.

FROM THE NEW ORLEANS PIcAYuNE OCTOBER &.
Advices from Mexico were received by the James
L. Day which appear to us of the utmost import
ance. The American Flag Of the 26th ultimo, pub
llshed at Matamoros, announced the receipt OF
late news there from the city of Mexico direct, but
the details given are not of importance. We are
able to announce, however most positively, that
letters were received in this city by the Day, by
gentleman deeply interested in Mexican affairs, and
from very responsible foreign source in Maamo-
ros, which say that Gen. ALMoNTE has been APP
pointed President of Mexico ad interim, and Gen.
SANTA ANNA generalissimo of the armies OF Mexico;
and further, that Santa Anna was then engaged in
raising and organizing troops intending to take the
field in person in the North. This news will strike
every one as important in various aspects but it is
especially so as it may bear upon the armstice
granted by Gen. Taylor to Gen. Ampudia's forces,
and again upon the dependence which the Govern
ment at w ashington may have placed in the pacific
intentions Of Santa Anna
We have received (says the Dea) the first number OF the
BoLetn Ofca dated Monterey, 4th September which
all Gen. Ampudias orders and procamaons from the
2s August the Sd September Most Of these documents
have been published already, but find General Ampudas
