Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1848-02-24

The following communication from the
Annapolis correspondent Of the Marlboro
Gazette, appears in that paper of last Friday.
The writer seems to be an enthusiastic adj
mirer of one of our Charles county ladies,
who was present at the first Of the "Assem-
blies" in the Ancient City. 1t could not be
otherwise. But in his sketch we recognize
the initials of some, whose
"Graceful ease, and sweetness void Of pridc,"
en,i,le them TO much larger share OF his
admiration than he has expressed.
To have supposed that Tobacco Plants''
were the only products Of our county shows
the writer was not reader of the '.1fimes,"
else he could not have been Sin the dark''
upon this subject. Pretty girls, large tur-
nps, pumpkins, and potatoes, are only part
Of the good things of which we can boast.
Any quantity of these, and generous share
OF hospitality besides may always be found
in Old Charles.
Mr.. EDITOR: This "antique village" re-
nowned in the annals of our State for the
hospitality and affabili,y of its citizens, has,
for the past few weeks, presented quite an
enlivening appearance.
Nevertheless, the most animated scene Of
the season occurred last evening The first
of the Assemblies, prepared under the joint
superintendent of number of members Of
the Legislature and the citizens of Annapolis,
took place; and feeling disposition '',o do
honor to whom honor is due,' have
brough, myselfto the task Of addressing you
this desultory epis,le, hastily penned and
imper(ec,ly thrown together.
have often heard of late that Charles
county (the honored resting place Of so ma
ny of Marylands chivalrc sons) was only
celebrated for hertz obacco Plants, and even
that that commodity was becoming scarce
but verify, MIR. Editor, if ever did entertain
such an idea, last nights vision perfectly
eradicated such a crude and narrow opinion
from my recollection. The brigh, eyes and
winning smiles OF one of her fairest daugh-
tiers, cap,vated many an "innocent one"
for it really seemed that in the person Of
Miss ST., the beauty of the PIatonic
Many a gallant son We'd with each other in

opinion that when size departs from these
regions to enjoy the sweet and calm repose
of her domicil and again par,ake of the salu-

stand she so gracefully adorns.
! Prince Georges was also represented in
the person of Miss Ii. She has al
ways been quite belle in Annapolis, and |
should Judge from the amenity of her dspo-
silion and the afabllty of her manners,
that she is justly entitled TO be considered as
surlI.
Miss H--s, OF ST. Mary's seemed to en-
joy herself, and evidently seemed to be an
accredited representative of that time hon
ored county.
and entertaining, was extraordinarily so upon
this occasion, and if it were not for the fact
that her affections are already monopolized,
she would undoubtedly create a considera-
BILE of stir.
Miss S---E, also Of this place, has al
ways been quite a favor:e with the gents,
and very properly had her share of alien
dants. Her firm step and stole dignity, at
tracts the eye of the stranger, and her lady
like appearance and manners makes her quite
prominent amongst the observed.
The Misses Rs, also Of this place,
were also there in the pride Of their fame,
soothing temporarily many an aching heart
and pleasing host of admirers.
Miss Ms, of Baltimore was also much
admired, and as the "Monumental Ci,y'' is
SO justly celebrated far and wide for the
beauty of her fair daughters, | cannot but
say that she formed worthy representa-
tive.
If time would permit would readily de-
scant more at length and par,lcularize more,
but suffice to say, in addition to those above
mentioned, recognized Mrs. J. c., Of
Baltimore county, Miss G-L, of Bal.i-
more city, Miss c., of this place, and
and Mrs. G-r, of Prince Georges.
The gentlemen were attentive and polite,
amongst the number ! recognized Hon. w.
D. B., w. P. B., T. w. c., and T. D., of
Prince Georges; B, G, H. Of 81. Mary's; J.
S. Of Allegany; J. c. Jr., and w. NJ. c. of
Baltimore county; II. S. |. of Anne Arun-
del D. J. Jr.. of Charles county.
