mention that on the afteEloonpfthe2 Goth
Col. Weller was shot through the thigh
AMI pretty seriously wou ,ded with
pistol ball, bu, no. dangerously, by Mr..
Gray, the u. $. Surveyor. The latter
had jms come inlwith Col. CoIlierl from
an exploring trip across the country
about halfway to the Colorado. and had
reported that he had discovered new
and favorable route over, oh IL much
nearer than the old one. Col. Weller,
in presence of large number Of friends
was jesting with Mr. Cray, in the best
good humor, ridicullng the idea OF his
having made any new discovery. Gray
was intoxicated, and taking everything
in earnest, pronounced the Colonels in
situations false. When demonstrated
with, he became more emphatic, and
again, in more obnoxious manner, de-
claring it falsehood. On repeating it
third time, the Col. struck him blow,
and parties interlsred, IN which short
interval Gay drew his pistol and fred,
before any one could defeat his purpose,
the Col. narrowly escaping fatal wound.
He is dong very well, and under "Old
.Me!ieine'ss care, will be about aga in in

For The. Cecil Wing.
"Juno'-Once More.

Mn. EplToR Having succeeded in
driving Juno from his original position, I
anticipate with great deal Of satisfaction
bis acknowledgment OF the utter futility of
his "pet project" After battering away
for month or so, endeavoring to demol-
ish our Academies and erect upon their
ruins, with their scanty endowment, a
"permanent" system Of common schools,
he tells US that to have the poor school
fund of the county appropriated to the es-
Establishment of this system, "is just what he
commended for"
From first to last Juno's aim seems to
be to stamp me as the enemy of common
schools, notwithstanding have never
written one word which could be con-
strurd in this light. That have been the
enemy of his "pet project" which is-or
more properly un,-to build them upon
the ruins OF our Academies, l admit. That
! still stand opposed to HIM as "their de-
tender"-as be pompously styles himself in
previous article am free to confess,
feeling that am supported by the intelli-
gence of the county.
] Ike to hear men boastlng themselves
the friends of the "poor"-tor my own
part recognize no poverty where there
is the will and the power to labor and ad-
Socase such measures as in my opinion are
tor the good OF the mass. If Juno thinks
TO manufacture capital in this way he has
sadly mistaken his motcriai; the people of
Cecil county are not an Hignorant and en-
shaved rabble" which he says are the le-
g'temate offspring Of the system under
which we are working.

CoNGREss.-The House OF Representa-

out form, and void, and darkness is upon

Taking advantage Of the impractica-
bllity OF organization, certain members
who had better be in the stocks than in
Congress, have been threatening fire.
brands and death to this Union OF States,
IN case of certain "is and and ands."
Movements towards disunion, have for the
last few years, been more observable
amongst the aboltionists of the North
now, however, the South has dipt her fin
gers pretty deeply into that pie Of treason
able Stiffness, only to get them burnt. Some
of the Southern Legislatures have been
playing pretty stiff game of Drag, and
MIR. Toombs has fairly put ga chip OIL top
of his hat" and wants to see who will
dare to knock it Off; and though he may
bray like an animal of the tribe of the one
that spoke to BALKAN, and though Wilmot
and Giddings may growl like grsly bears,
these things will only arouse patriots and
men of sense, to show them how teartully
far such "tom-foolerles," are below res
pectable quotation. Not 'sdiscountable" at
all gentlemen-tudge, Mr.. Toombs! fudge!
too many folks have "seen the elephant"
The mass OF the people have sprinkling
of sense and then there are bullets-bul-
lets, aye! and hemp for traitors.
This Union cannot be dissolved because
few ultra Southelners or a few ultra
Northernors, kick up rumpus IN an SUM
organized" Congress, so we will rest easy
on that score.
Up till this time friday the House has
not elected aspeaker. We have supposed,
that as the only use the speaker could be
to the locofocos, would be to appoint COM
.mlttees who would not report, and thus
emf arrass the Administration-that as it
was simply to gain party advantage in
that respect, without the excuse OF giving
them party strength among the people,
and that, as they have fairly struggled for
that and tailed, they should now allow the
Administration to have the chairmen of
the committees, and give 1t chance to
make its impress on the country. - if for
evil, why they are strengthened--iffor good,
why all the people are benefited. And
with this view we have thought we
would have voted-belng therefor VIM
throp until the fourth day Of March 1851,
if speaker were not previously elected.
But we tire Of the interminable delay and
earnestly hope that the committees Of con-
ference appointed by the two parties
may speedily effect az arrangement. Which,
