CANINE IN MARYLAND I'-Under this
startling caption we see it announced in the
Baltimore Sun, of Saturday last, that great
distress and desttution prevails among
class Of the population of our county. If
this "famine" is indeed within our borders
it would seem incredible that we had not
heard of it before, living, as we do, near the
centre of the county and meeting almost
daily with individuals from every part of ii;
yet such is the fact. 1t is true, however,
that we have heard Of some families needing
the active benevolence of those around them
to relieve their wants, but we cannot believe
that destitu,ion prevails to such an alarming
extent as to make it necessary to call upon
the good citizens of Baltimore for relief
We have those among us, blessed with the
boun,ies of Providence, and cheered by the
recent showers of rain upon their crops,
giving promise Of plenty, who will doubt
less feel it their privilege 10 extend relief to
the poor of our country whenever it may be
needed.
The following is from the Baltimore Pat
riot:
DISTRESS IN MARYLAND-Tbe long
drought which was hardly interrupted by
the rains of this week, has caused so great
a scarcity ofvegetables in the lower sections
Of this State, both on the Eastern and West
ern Shore, that there are now many persons
left without food to eat. An endorsement
on the letter bag, from Mr.. John Spalding,
Postmaster at Pleasant Hill, Charles county,
dated May 26, states, that on that day six
persons called on him begging for meal or
corn, and that in the surrounding country
many are begging from door to door, and
that no corn is to be had at any price. We
hear that similar deslitulion prevails in
other counties. Under these circumstances
it becomes the duty of our citizens to take
immediate measures to afford relief, and we
hope that those who from their business re-
la,Ions may be supposed to know more of
the distress and the means necessary to re-
lieve it,, will take the matter up at once

IMPORTANT LETTER-Gem. TAYLOR and
the Presidemcy.-The N. o. Bulletin con-
tains the following extracts from letter
written by Gen. Taylor to friend at Baton
Rouge:

pie of the country were to require me to DO
SO, however much it is opposed to my wish
es, for | am free to say, that have no aspi-
rations for the situation. My greatest, per-
haps, only wish, has been to bring, or aid
in bringing. this war TO speedy and honora-
BILE close. 1t has ever been, and still is, my
anxious wish, that some one of the best men
of the country, should be chosen, to that
high p lace at the next election. am salts
fed that, if our friends will do their duty,
such a citizen may be elected.
81 must, however, be allowed to say, that
! have not the vanity to consider myself
qualified for so high and responsible sta
ton, and whilst we have far more eminent
and deserving names before the country, !
should prefer to stand aside, if one of them
could be raised to the first office, in the gift
of free people.
81 GO for the country, the whole country
and it is my ardent and sincere wish, to
see the individual placed at the head of the
nation, who, by strict observance of the con-
stilution (be he whom he may) can make us
more prosperous at home, as well as most
respected abroad.'

HE NERVES OF THE HEART-An int
resting discovery has recently been made
respecting the nerves of the heart. The
doctrine that the heart was wholly devoid
OF nerves cor nerris career) and was stu
pidum ct insensible discus, which obtained.
we believe, at the close of the last century.
had already been modified by later aulhori-
ties; but until DR.. Lee commenced his in
qu'Tles, 1t was generally supposed that the
nerves were very few in number; it was
considered that the organ performed its i'm
portant functions with little or no nervous
action. DR.. Lees inquiries are stated to es-
tabllsh not merely the existence of numer-
Gus hitherto unnoticed nerves in the heart.
but also the curious facts, that these nerves
increase with the increase fthe organ and
that the nerves on the left side are more than
double the size of those on The right. This
latter circumstance is accounted for bv the
difference IN the functions of the two sides.
1t being the office of the left ventrice to dis
perse the blood through the whole body bv
means OF the arteries, while that of the RIGHT
ventrlcle is merely to transmit it through
the lungs to the left auricle-an operation
obviously requiring less vigorous pulsa-
ton, and consequently less nervous power.
than that of the left ventricle. This dis
covery may be regarded as the compliment
of Harvey's doctrine of the circulation of.
Inc blood-.N 0. Commercial Times.

The race over the Canton Course, on Fri
day last, was between Mr.. Laird's renowned
mare "Fashion," and Mr.. Green's "Passen-
ger,' a five year old horse, for a purse of
$500-three mile heats. The contest was
the most spirited which has taken place over
the Course for years. The first heat was
yqn b s5 R}szsngs!n in n S45 Att hf s SECOND
called "dead heat'' and was run in 5.5l.
but the greater majority of persons contend
that the heat was fairly won by "Passenger.''
The Judges, however, decided differently
to the great dissatisfaction of nearly every
person we have heard speak on the subject.
A fourth heat was necessarily run, which
was won by ''Fashion" in 6,O2. MANY bets
were Withdrawn after the decision of the
Judges, and several persons who had won
on ''Fashion,'' refused to receive the stakes.
on the ground that it was not fairly and
Justly won. The universal opinion appears
that "Fashion'' has at length walked up the
wrong ''passemger. Clipper.

We heard gentleman, fresh from the
theatre Of war, relate an anecdote of General
Taylor. One of the Illinois regiments was
thrown'into rather close proximity with a
Mexican battery, and the balls were flying
tolerably thick and rather close-so close a,
least, as to induce the b'hoys to dodge oc-
casionly. Old Rough was sitting astride of
of his old grey, and being in a position to
see the lodging, cried out, 'gentleman, no
dodging-it i'll becomes soldier to dodge"
Old Rough's grey horse presented fair
mark, and as the enemy had learned his
whereabouts because OF his old charger,
very brisk fire was opened upon the grey
horse. 1t is said the balls passed around
old Rough promiscuously, and the thing
was becoming quite too hot even for him.
At last ball passed so near the old mans
cheek as to cause him to throw his head in
an opposite direction with celebrity not a.
all characteristic of old Rough's Flooding
habits; it was thought the old fellow was
movement of his head was
noticed by some of the Illinoians, and a hear
ty laugh broke out from the b'hoys. Old
Rough Strengthened himself up in his stir
