FRIEND RlcKETrs:-We are now IN all
our glory in this plaee-that is, little to
do and fine weather. At noon as hot Is
possible but in Tho mornings and even
ings a fne balmv breeze that almost
makes one think they are in fairy lands;
and now that the city is clear ofthe
greater portion Of its English pop ul"tion,
at every turn of the street are met the
black-eyed daughters of tho South, who
trace their descent from France or old
Spain; and some from Italy, that land OF
Song ard Romance, once the Land that
gave Rulers and Laws TO the Christian
world, all lovely as dream, they seem,
though believe our Northern gentlemen
love better those of lighter shade.
We cannot start anything to make an
excitement except the Rey case. be-
lieve him to be poor, weak vagaboud.

went to show thai he was either taken
from here by force, or his weak mind 60
worked on as to induce hun to 60 to Ha-

piles of smoking boiled potatoes for break
fast, gave Us the first notice that we were
approaching the country Of the New York
yankees-for, mind you, these potatoes in
the morning, are distinguishing mark Of
the yankees. At this brsakfakt, also, there
was dessert OF blsck-berries and cream,
but we do not know Of whom this was
characteristic. In the Susquehanna from
this place upwards there is an effort max
ing to start steamboat. The river, for
some 90 or 80 miles, can readily be made
navigable for boat drawing two feet wa
ter, and it will be quite curiosity to have
a'boat running in this extreme inland Sec
ton, five hundred miles OF SO, from where
the river is navigable below. Here we
saw few RATS in process Of building but
the timber on the shores has been pretty
much cut and destroyed-and we met ma
ny men who, in former years, had run
RATS to Port DEPOSIT.
Some Of the matters in which the face
Of the country shows difference from ours
from Piermont across this way, are the
following in the quantity Of buckwheat
growing-whole fields Of it being sown,
and it seems TO occupy in proportion, about
as much land as oats does in Cecil county.
In the shortness of the corn-the stalks are
about FIVE feet high and the ears are small,
but by growing four or FIVE stalks in hill
they raise from IS TO SO bushels to the
acre. Frosts are earlier here, as we OBJ
serve many corn fields entirely killed.
More potatoes, more apple orchards, and
many more hocks Of sheep. Oats harvest
late, there being at this time some uncut,
and much lying in swath. The country
houses, after leaving the Hudson, till you
reach the Susquehanna, are all frame and
generally painted red-from Lanesboro,
northward, they are Of the weather-beaten
brown, neither pant or white-wash being
used on them. My paper being full /
close, as should have done sooner.

FABRIcATIoNs AND LIES. As an cleo
ton approaches we have always found
that stories calculated to injure the Wing
candidates are Sc, aAoat. and busily cir
culated. We find that the same old
game is being played this fall. Fabriea-
tons and lies are in circulation, as we
understand, intended 10 initiate against
sumo of The gentlemen on our ticket; and
we have no doubt that between now and
the election others will be started. We
have only to say that we hope no wing
will be led astray BY these 'rnventions
Of the enemy" Past experience should
make us sage, on these matters. Believe
no such r.ports-the whole whig ticket
is worthy of support, and let no whig
desert any part of it

The New York Morning Star has the
following upon the Cuba expedition,
which shows "precedents" what might
have been ,he fate, probably, OF those
joining IN it, had they sol off from our
shcres:---
".t is supposed tina. upwards Ito 900
dollars have been expended in fitting on,
these expeditions probably money ra's-
cd from di,con,en,ed Spanards bent on
or revolution Miranda expedition fitted
out fiom tits port against Caracas in
1903 failed. and many Americans per-
suadrd to Join in it were imprisoned and
hanged The Government was not
aware of the object Of the expedition un
ill after it had sailed, but the prime nov
rrs were arrested and tried. Sir Gregg
~ McGregor. a mad Scotch knight in
1916, got up an expedition against Flori
da, in which the Sheriff Of this city,
Ruggles Hubbard, took a conspicuous
part: b 1T the destination Of that sxPedl-
ton was unknown until the vessels sail
ed, and it never amounted to anything.
Du'ing the struggle for South American
Independence many privateers We're fit
ted out from our ports under the Rrpub-
lican flags, bu, no notice was taken of it,
for their real destination was unknown.
In the early history OF this country, al
though neutrality was leading feature
in the course Of the government, it had
not sufficient power to check many Of
those expeditions, but with population
Of twenty millions, and power to en-
forse the laws such movements cannot
be permitted"

Letter from Washington.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 18th

WASHINGTON, Sept. llth, ~.
Mn. EDlroR,-After few weeks alb
sence from the city of our political father,
I have returned much improved in health
by the invigorating and healthful air Of
your region Of country-kent and Cecil
counties of the E. S. OF Md, the "Gibral-
ter" Of Whggery good and genuine .whig-
gerry.
The denomination of the Hon. Alexan-
der Evans, was an event hoped for and
looked for by all good and true wings,
who know him or desired the success of
our cause there, and that too under tried,
faithful, talented and every worthy Rep
resentative such as Mr.. Evans has been
and will still show himself to be. doubt
whether there is single wing in the whole
District that is not, in view of the past,
and in the hope OF the future, doubly graf
flied a, his denomination and as he can
have no enemies; except such as would wan
tonly become so, and is known to be true
to the interests and honor of his constitu-
ents, his triumphant reelection is conf
IDENTIFY looked for. The wings this Dis
tr,ct expect gain of member from glo-
rious old Wing Maryland, and it must be
every where kept steadily in view. Of
course, therefore, the loss Of any District
is not expected, and if all were as entirely
certain as MIR. Evans, no "stumping 1t"
would be necessary. Every man, of course,
who voted for him before, seeing he has
proved himself so entirely worthy the suf-
frage previously given him, by his having
exhibited such mastery abilities and by
his energy and moral worth, will do SO
heartily again!
There is nothing of much moment here
at this time, and imaginary matters are not
worth the trouble, SO far as usefulness is
concerned, of recording. The city is still
beautiful - and the new public buildings
are fast approaching to completion!

MARYLASD Progressive AGRICULTURE.
We have the following further eviden
ccs in this regard. The Rockville Jour-
al, Of Saturday say:
Several hundred tons Of Peruvian GU.
ano have already been brought into this
country, for present use. The statement
We made some time since, Of from four
to five hundred tons, will fall short OF
the quantity that will be used; besides
this, Other fertilizers have been liberal
lyiordered. In few years more, We
have not doubt that Montgomery will
be classed among the most fertile and
productive counties OF the State.
The Journal, published at Denton. Car
ollne county, says:
Twenty-seven tons Of the best Peruvi
an guano. and several huldred bushels
of bone-dust, arrived al our wharves, pur
chased by farmers in the vicinity Of
Denton, in order 10 renovate their worn
out lands.

TTnE CENrREvILLE SENTINEL repre-
sent, Mr.. Evans as an Indifferent public
speaker. OF course nobody expected it to
speak in his praise but we would like to
hear from it what kind Of speaker MIR
Magrawis is.
The people Of this Congressional District
do not need to be told anything about the
ability Of Alexander Evans as speaker.
He has spoken in all the counties, again
and again, and no one that we have heard,
before the Sentinel, ever questioned his
fluency and power. Even while in his
first term he was able to command the
complete attention Of the whole House Of
Representatives whenever he spoke-an
attention seldom awarded to the Oldest and
ablest members.
Now we would never have mentioned
this speaking business, but since it is men,
toned, how could Mr.. Magraw get along
in the House! An attempt was made last
winter to dissolve the Union. Another
attempt may be made during the coming
session-how would Mr.. M. be able to
maintain the integrity Of his District how
stand up and battle with speakers Of talent
and power. How! MIR. Evans, then,
could show himself man, and concluding
this article, we cannot but express our sur
prise that friend Of Mr.. Magraw should
criticise Mr.. Evans ability as speaker.
