DIED.

At his residence, in this county, on Sunday
night last, after brief illness, Col. JOHN
HUGHES.
On Monday, the lth of September, at her resi-
dence near Bryantown, after long and painful
illness, Miss MARY MCPHERSON, daughter of
the late DR.. JOHN McPHERsoN. We shall not at
tempt, as is often done, and sometimes uniustly,
to lavish on the deceased the flowers of eulogy.-
Suffice it to say, that by those who knew her best,
the unobtrusive virtues of the deceased were most
highly priced, and that to such, well as to all her
surviving relatives, her death has brought wound
which only Time, the Destroyer and the Healer,
can effectually close. **#****
On the 9Th inst, Of conjestve fever, at the resi-
dence of her uncle, DIR. JOHN r. FERGUssoN,
MARY ELIZABETH BRUCE, daughter of the
late HENRY c. BRUCE, in the 18th year of her age.
A few days since saw thee Mary,
sweet and happy child,
The bloom of health upon thy cheek,
Thy spirits gay and wild.
But now beneath the cold green sod
Thy little body lies;
Thy spirit pure is with its God,
Eternal in the skies.
Farewell, sweet child, this life is DER
For thee it had no charms
Gone now thou art, Him to adore,
Who holds thee in his arms.
Oh! death, how sudden is thy call,
When least we think thee near
To-day our friends are happy all;
Tomorrow, sad and drear.

LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLoR.-The pa
pers of New Orleans publish a letter from
Gen'l TAYLOR, explanatory of his position,
and abiding to the criticisms which his no.
mination by detached parties has elected.
In his letter he declares himself Wing in
principle, although no party man ; he says
he is the peoples candidate; that he has
been nominated by all parties; and that he
consented to serve from the hope that it
would cause the canvass to be conducted
with candor, if not with kindness. He says
that he has accepted the nomination of the
Wing Convention, which assembled in Phi
ladelphia, with gratitude and pride, and re-
fers to his previous letter, particularly the
one addressed to Captain Allison, for his
views on all necessary subjects. The Gen
eral concludes by saying, that if elected te
the exalted station of President of the Uni
ted States, he will endeavor to cement the
Union, and do all in his power to establish
the happiness of his country men on an en-
during basis.-.N 0. Corr of .American

AGRICULTURAL CoNvENTIoN.-The con-
venlion Of Agricul,urisls of this State, which
assembled in Baltimore on Tuesday, the 9Th
inst. though not so numerously attended as
could have been wished, was yet highly
respectable and influential body, composed
of men who have the talent necessary to I'M
derstand the agricultural reforms which are
needed, and the will and the means to carry
out those reforms, and who only need to
act with determination and union to make
their influence felt throughout the whole
State. The organization of the ''Mary land
State Agricultural Society,"" under the auspi-
ces of the Convention, as permanent CEN
tire on which the agricultural interests of the
State may unite, must also be regarded as
an important and interesting measure. The
spirit which attended the organization OF this
Society, and the alacrty with which the
members paid in their subscriptions-the
best evidence of their Interestingly also
be regarded as giving high promise of lis
future usefulness.
The Convention was at once merged into
this Society. and uuder the provisions of its
bylaws several Standing Committees were
appointed, to procure information and re-
port on the important subjects of Fencing
and its costs, on Sheep Farming, and The
doglaws, on tobacco inspections, and on in
sec,s common in Maryland, which are inju-
furious to husbandry. On all these com
mittees gentlemen were appointed whose
Investigations and information, when prop
erly brought out, cannot but be Of great
benefit to the farmers of our State The So

The moral sense Of our community has

been placed in possession Of the particulars
relating to the case. but we understand that
on the 9Th inst, in Pomonkey district, IN
this county, VIM. L. Alchison and John
Cooley, were together in a drunken frolic
at the house of some Mrs. Atchison, and
that Cooley upon giving but slight provoca-
ton was stabbed in the breast with knife
by Atchison, which killed him instantly
Atchison has been arrested, and is now con-
fined IN Jail.
INTEREST ON THE STATE DEBT.-W
learn from the Argus, that there is already
a sufliciency in the treasury of Mary Ian d,
to meet promptly the payment of the inter-
est on the Stale debt, including the interes,
on the funded debt, due the 1st of October,
prox., with the prospect of a considerable
surplus cunningham ounting probably to
one hundred thousand dollars. This is
exceedingly gratifying, and affords the bes,
commentary upon the efforts of those, by
whose assiduily and tireless perseverance
the work of resumption was effected.

SHOCKS OF EARTHQUAKE AT THE NORTH.
The New York papers, of Saturday even

the atmosphere was serene and tranquil at
the time. The wires fell 5 deg, having
previously risen deg. The South ,hermo-
meter was equilibrialed for four con seculive
hours.
The Commercial says the sound was pc
culiar-a loud, heavy rumbling- lasting
probably fifty seconds, and adds -
sit was very sensibly fet at Hackensack,
New Jersey, and at other places in tina,
neighborhood. Its course throughout ap-
pears to have been from southwest to
northeast.
''The first shock is described as having
lasted full minute; the second, ten Sc
conds. The majority of the accounts fix
the time of its occurrence at twenty minutes
before l O'Clock. We have heard also from
as far up the river as onkers, and learn
that the shock was felt there, and in some
parts of Connecticut.
"The shock was felt also on Staten Is
land, severely and at White Plains, at the
camp meeling-and in the upper part of
this city"
A Geographic dispatch from Philadel phia
says that this earthquake was also felt
there. We hear nothing of its having been
felt hereabouts.
