REQUIsITIoN FOR CHAPLIN,-The Intel

REQUIsITIoN FOR CHApLIN.-The Intel
ligencer Of Friday says "a requisition
from Governor Thomas, directing the deli
very of Chaplin, charged with an assault
with intent to kill Mr.. Richard Butt and Mr..
VIM. Smithia, in Montgomery county, was
placed on Wednesday in the hands of Off
Ger Handy. We learn, however, that Chap
lin will have first to be tried in our Crimi-
nal Court for abducling Allen and Garland,
the two runaway slaves found in Chaplin's
Carriage on the night of the 9Th instant"
The Albany Atlas furnishes the following
information relative to Chaplin:
"Mr. Chaplin is gentleman Of fine per-
sonal character and talents. He is attach
ed 10 tina! branch Of the abolition party of
which Gerret Smith is the head, and which
is hostile to the Liberty party in this State,
and to the Garrison party of New England
In 1913 it received 2,548 votes, running an
electoral ticket in opposition to the Free
Democratic, Cass, and Wing candidates, and
in concert with a national land reform or
ganizalon.
'Mr. Chaplin was the nominee for govern
or at the approaching election Of his party,
or rather Of this sect. The present nomi-
nal residence Of Mr.. c.. is in this city, bu,
he has spent nearly all his time in Washing
ton, as reporter for the press, and we believe
has discontinued the publication of the Por-
,ifoilo. He was formerly editor Of the AL
bany Patriot, having succeeded at some in
lerval, Torrey, who was captured in Mary
land for like attempt to assist runaway
slaves. and was sentenced to State prison,
where he died''
The Boston Bee says Of him:
'He is Massachusetts man. the son of
the late Rev. Daniel Chaplin, D. D Of Gro
ton. He is in age lille pas, fif,y, wi!hou,
family, and man Of rare eloquence and
ability with the pen. He was formerly of
the legal professon."

We again publish the List Of Premiums
offered by the Charles County Agricultural
Society. We take it for granted tina. our
agricultural friends are doing all in their
power TO make the Exhibition this fall even
more creditable to the county than that Of

ing their part, for, when once they engage
in work that is to be beneficial, there is
no such word with them as ''give upt''-
Men. however, are liable TO be diverted, by
political excitemen.s and other causes, from
those duties which have superior claims
upon them. Let no. the important nteres,
of agriculture be forgotten or suffered to
anguish for want of bu, a moderate share
of zeal in its behalf We all have qrea.
desire TO see Charles occupy an advanced
position with regard to agricultural improve
men.. Already may be seen evidences Of
what has been, and what can still be done.
Barren and scrubby plains are beginning to
look gay in their new green dresses, and
the farmer himself feels cheered and ami
mated by the beautiful prospect the change
has made. Having "pu, your hands to the
plough look net behind," but pursue with
steady purpose the end proposed. So say
we to all our agricultural friends.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life at ''the Refuge" in this coun-
ty, on Sunday night, the 18th instant, Mrs.
CATHERINE MERRICK, wife of the Hon.
WILLIAM D. MERRIcK, in the list year of her age
Thus has Death closed the life of one whose mind
was truly pure and whose heart was filed with az
lection. The deep affection Of those, whom she
has left behind in 'ths vale of tears - ought to be
soothed by the reflection, that her suf1erings are
now at an end and what has beer. their loss is her
gain. For years she suffered the agones of most
acute disease. AS Death approached all pain and
suffering ceased-her mind assumed its extraord-
nary vigor and brilliancy, and with perfect and
christian resignation her spirit gently and quietly
fled from its tenement ofclay.
Peace be to thy ashes dearly remembered one!
The consultations of religion were with you in
your last moments upon this earth, and we feel that
thy soul is now in Heaven with Him "who dis
poses all things"
Died, at his residence near Port Tobacco, on
Thursday night last, Dr.. THOMAS A. DAVIS.
We record with pain the decease of this excellent
man, who was endeared to all who knew him by
those generous, noble and amiable traits of charac-
ter which always mark the true gentleman. He
fingered several weeks upon bed of sickness, but
bore his af1ction with fortitude and resignation
rarely to be witnessed. His afflicted family and
friends may console themselves with the hope that
his charitable and vrtuous actions remembered
by Him who rewardeth those that do good.

Teleuraphic Summary.

In the House, there was nothing of much conse-
quence done yesterday, if we except the motion OF
Mr.. Boyd, which prevailed, making the Texas
boundary bill the special order for every day, at
iwelve o'clock, until il is disposed Of This is
paiseworthy movement on the part of the House,
and the members, especially Mr.. Boyd, are en-
Titled TO great deal of credit for it, 1t is to be
hoped that il will be followed up until that and
other kindred measures shall have been disposed
Of. There was movement made in regard to the
tariff, but it did not succeed. Who could expect
that it would ! We will be very much surprized,
and no doubt so will be the whole country, if the
territorial bills, now awaiting action in the House,
are thrown aside for the tariff, or any other less
important movement. Let the Senate bills be first
set al rest, and if the members be disposed to
adjourn when they shall have been settled, they
may take up the tariff, or any other subject they
please, and debate ad infnitum
We are without any intelligence of the proceed
ings of the Senate, yesterday, in consequence, we
suppose, of the storm having deranged the tele-
graph wires
