THE CECIL WIIIG.
ELKTON, MD, JAN. 25th 1850.
RrNovAL.--The office Of The Cecil Wing ha
b:en removed to the next door to the Post Office
We are better prepared now than at any tim
heretofore to do job work, and can print il
GOOD atyle and at short notice, all kinds Of hand
bills, blanks, &c. If.
1.-THE marriage notice sent us from
,Cecilton, is not published because unac
companied by responsible name.
0rMr. Mallory, strong Union man
is elected U. S. Senator from Florida
over Mr.. Yulee, who has shown himself
southern ultraist.
rrGen. Jacobs of Tennessee ha:
been appointed LIST Assistant Postmaster
General, in place of Maj. Hobbie, who
has gone to Cuba on business of the De.
partment.
DTThe proceedings of newly or.
ganized Temperance Society; its con-
stitntion, Sc, are given at length in an.
other column, as matter ofgeneral in
terest.
U-Mr. Grier, whig, has been elected
U. S. Senator by the Missouri Legisla-
ture, for six years from the 4th of March
next. The choice was made on the
22nd inst, on the fortieth ballot. The
vote stood, Grier, so; Benton, So; scat
tering 81.
THE STEAMER ATLANT1c.-Consider-
able apprehension is being felt about
the Steamer Atlantic, now at sea about
one month, and consequently due two
weeks. She had previously made quick
trips. Various speculations are entered
into by nautical men, all deeming her
safr;-we hope she is safe, but still her
long absence brings up, painfully, the
fate Of the President.
The new Postage Bill now pend
ing in Congress is given in another COL
umn. 1t passed the Senate and the
House with some amendment, and now
awaits the action Of the Senate on the
amendments.
1t will be seen that the country papers,
which heretofore have been paving a
postage, proportionately far too large,
are favorably regared by the new bill,

THE WnrG ALMANAr.-Mcssrs Gree
ley s. McElrath of the n. Y. Tribune,
have sent US the Wing Almanac for
1851. 1t is late coming out because
they waited for election returns &C.,
bu. II is not merely as an almanac that it
is valuable. Besides the fullest meas
ufe of almanac matter, proper, it contains
large amount of very important statis-
teal and other valuable information,
making it very desirable book of ref
creme. Every man Of intelligence
should have one-price ia cts single
copies, 81 per dozen.
THE Reform CoSvENrIoN.--We have
tired following the course of the Const-
tutional Convention sitting at Annapo-
lis, and shall attempt no longer to give
synopsis of its proceedings day by day.
Every sort of whim--every kind of sub
jet tangible only to local Legislation, is
thrown in upon it as proper matter to
be incorporated into Constitution, and
the ''begin ming of the end" does not yet
appear.
After wasting time enough to have
formed Constitution, they at last, a few
days ago, took the inltiatory step of en-
ploying a Reporter, and now, we sup
pose, the speeches for Buncombe will
commence. We shall wait patiently,
and when anything is done we shall
make haste to lay it before our readers.
DELAWARE U. S. SENATOR .--There
is a very nice little fight going on among
the Democracy of little Delaware, in re-
lation to the United States Senator. The
candidates are Bayard, Bates, Cullen
and Askew, each of whom has his friends
and supporters
