Ncw Entcrwise.-Mr. Thomas Roach, for.
merly of our town, has for several days been
consulting with our citizens, in regard 10 estab.
fishing branch OF Adams Il Cos Express, in
Elkton. Mr.. Roach's plan is, to remain several
hours Of each day IN Elkton and Newark, for
the delivery and transmission Of packages. BY
joining the two towns in enc agency, we doubt
not sufficient profit will accrue 10 the company
to justify the appointment ofan agent.
Mr.. Roach is well known to oil of our Older
citizens, as gentleman of the highest integrity
and an experienced business man. A better
person for agent could not be found, or one in
whom our citizens have more confidence. We
believe he has been quite successful in Elkton
and we hope the citizens of Newark will enter
into the enterprise at once.

Els Landing, .4gam.-Wc believe Elk Landing
is within the corporate limits of the town; a,
least, those who live there are annually informed
OF this fact by the town bailih, who calls upon
them for their taxes. How very thoughtful are
our town authorities, TO remind the citizens OF
E.h Landing Of a fact, which they would doubt
less otherwise forget. Except the annual call
Of III" bailif, nopublic functn nary has ever been
known to visit this portion ofthe town "within
the memory Of the oldest inhabtant." The
road is naturally solid, and needs but little re-
pair; this little however il never receives. After
ahard rain It's almost impossible for pedestrians.
The baililf would do well, when he pays his
visit this year, TO take "a horse and cart to pull
some grarel along"-at least some Of the Land
ing folks think so.

n Rainy Day in Eihiton.-The clouds are low
ering and heavy, and it rains. All day long it
has rained, and the branches of the trees are
weighed down with the water, which trckles
from the dropping leaves. The streets are sloppy
and muddy, and the citizens, with raised UNI
brcllas and buloned coats, 60 hurrying along to
their homes, or their places of business. The
dogs have all craw led into their kennels. Here
and there may b. seen Il draesle tailed chicken
picking up stray crumbs and seeds and an occa-
sional hog exploring the pools of water for gar
bagd. Every thing looks gloomy and dismal.
The clouds gather thicker and blackcr. And
now it grows darker and darker, for the sun has
set, and the rain comes down more rapidly than
ever.

CAROLINE COUNTY,

II has been stated in this county and
in Hartford that the Wings of Caroline
are not satisfied with the nomination of
Mr.. Evans. Nothing could be more in
correct. They are satisfied because he
is the man they wished nominated, and
we have assurances that that county
will give him better support than
heretofore.
From the proceedings Of the Wing
Convention of Caroline; published in
Tie Denton Journal of the 9th August,
we take the following extract:
81. +. Rochester then offered the following
resolutions which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved BY this Convention, That the public
services of our representative in Congress, Hon
Alexander Evans, cntillc him to our entire con-
tidence; and
Resolved, That we cordially recommend TO
the Wings of this District his denomination to
Congress"
Does that look like dissatisfaction
On the contrary it proves what we have
above stated, that Caroline pas for Mr..
E.; and taken in connexion with the fol-
lowing extract from an editorial in the
same paper of the 10th inst, gives good
ground for the belief that little Caroline
wiN be for Evans on the lst "Wednesday
in October.
From The Denton Journal, .7ug' 18Th.
"With regard TO the nomination Of Mr.. Nc
Cullouch, we, Of course, have nothing to say,
personally. But we think we have pretty well
aScertained the sense of the Democratic party in
this section with regard to the nomination, and
from all that we have been able 10 learn, We
have come TO the conclusion, although Mr.. Me
Cnllough may receive the strength of his party
in this county, he will not be supported with
that enthusiasm with which Mr.. Stewart, or
some other gentleman from this section, would
have been. The complaint seems to be, not on
ly that this part of the District was entitled to the
nomination, but that Cecil has acted bad part
BY candidates taken from other parts of the dis
trict, during the two last Congressional cam
pagns. The fact of Cccil--though a Demo-
cratic Co.,-giving Mr.. Evans such overwhclm-
ing majorties, they deem mark of extreme sell
fshness on the part of the Democracy ofthat
county, and hence the apparent carrlcssncSs
manifested in this section with regard to the re-
suit Of the Congressional contest this fall"

PipeS.-We notice that the common clay to-
bacco pipe is fast supcrccding the cigar, among
our young smokers. Now we hate tobacco
cordially and fully hate it, whether when in
powder for the nose, or nanscous quds for the
teeth, or twists 10 suck and pull at, orcven in
pipes; but if we were doo,nct! ID uscit wewoul Id
prefer the latter. I,ccraialy is the most clean
y way oln>ing the offensive and poisonous weed!
the smoke is cooler and prasantcr too, coming
through the long stem, say the smokers and the
cost is much less. Many a revcric, we arc told
has been INDUCED in over 4 cigar OF pipe and
the Muse sometimes has sung their praises in
sweetest strains. We can quote nothing to the
pipe, on the instant, but the poet Sprasue, once
commenced a poem to his cigar thus:
'sYes, social friend, love thee well,
In learned Doctors spite;
Thy clouds all other clouds dispcl
And lap me in dcllght.''
And he ended it thus:
"And what is he who smokes thee now
a little moving heap,
That soon like thee to fate must bow;
With thee in dust must sleep.
But though thy ashes downward 90
Thy essence rolls on high;
Thus. when my body must lie low,
My soul shall clcavc the skv."

the cry Of ssmad dog" on the air--and how the

We believe these are dog days, when,

old ladies will moi be frightened out of,hcir wits,
nor the young ladies out of the streets through
fear of the "crilturs," for they are something

TIE DlsTR1cr MEErINGs.-The Wing
district meetings 10 be held this after
noon are important meetings, and the
Wing County Convention of Wednes-
day next is an important convention.
We hope they will be borne in mind by
the wings who read these remarks in
time. The offices for which candidates
are to be selected, are named in the
above call of the Central Committee
Besides the nominations to. be made
there are other important matters to be
attended to.
1t is not our intention here, nor would
it be proper, in anywise 70 refer to the
various candidates for some Of the Off
ccs. But we have this general remark
to maNe-let every whig be prepared to
surrender his personal preferences for
the good of the whole party. Let every
candidate prepare himself, if defeated in
nomination, 10 support his successful
competitor. In union alone is there
strength, or hope Of success, to the wing
party of Cecil.
We are called on this fall to fight a
rnantnl fight with popular candidates
we have good hope Of triumph. Let
the convention then, make no nominal
tons merely as compliments-let them
enact no farce. Look around, Wings,
for Your strong mrn--men who can
command votes. Let us not 90 into the
contest to be ''threshed" but to be the
vlctors.
Look about for your men; consult
with them-canyass their qualifications,
services, Popularity. Think over the
&uhject--the time is short. Let the
prominent wings of the county see to
these matters; let the working wings,
the rank and file, see to them also.
[UWe understand that some of the
friends of .Mr. Mccullough thought we
were too harsh in our remarks last week,
relative to his nomination. They could
not have read what we said; certainly
we said nothing that il was not fair and
proper TO say. We did not then, and
shall not during the canvass, refer to
hum except in so far as he is connected
as a partizan with public matters. In
another column there is severe article
against the McCulloughs as politicians,
from the pen of "a Democrat" as it
purports 10 be. 1t will be Objectionable
to them and their friends and is intended
to be SO; but it will be strange ifthey
will affect to censure lis for publishing
it. "Stand from under;"-as politi-
clans andpublic men they shall be hand
led without gloves, but as private citi-
ssthey shall be held harmless'in these

THE CRops IN kENT.--We passed last week
through Kent county from the Head of SassafIas
loChcslcrtown, and regretted TO see that large
number Of the cornlields we're poor, and thai
none ofthcm promised anything like full crop.
The cause was the long continued and exccs.
sive drought. We met at Chestertown that cx.
cellent farmer, Hon. Jas. Alfred Pearce, for he
stands as high at home as a farmer, as he does
abroad as a statesman and lawycr-who showed
us some splendid samples of various kinds Of
wheat produced on his farm. His wheat crop
was exceedingly fine, but his corn, in common
with all in the county, had suffered by the dry
weather.
