Dear Wing A kind friend has sent me the
LIST No. of YOUR XIth vol. | congratulate you
upon Your longevity, and The fair prospect
aheal-may your shadow never be less. Its
familiar look brings back rccollcctons of many
happy day spent in old Cecil, and glance
over It's columns peoples again the single sides
with the fond faces that were wont to shine in
their merriment there, in days lang syne.
find very many from old Maryland here, and
they do not seem to have lost any of the pecrl-
larites of our people, with their hearts in their
hands they give welcome shake to the friends
OF early days, and seem TO say shere we are at
home, come in and rest" These are little
things 10 offer the W airy pilgrim, but touch many
a stern nature with all the tenderness of human
joy.
am glad to sec that you continue to maintain
boldly the good old Wing cause. In this part Of
our country, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi, the party lines are for this campaign
oblterated, and the best men of all parties are
crowding forward for the Union. In Alabama
the election is over, and enough is known to show
that every man elected is a Union man, although
in the Mobile District, the successful candidate
Is a democratic, southern rights. Unionist. Mis-
sissippi will come next, and Gen. Foote, it is
SAID, will make clean sweep of the fire euler,
the first heat. Georgia will then take up the
cry and the Union will be cemcnted by the vote
there, stronger than ever. Here in Louisiana,
no man will acknowledge that there is such a
Thing as disunlonist in the State. l am sorry
to say though, that almost without exception
wherever there is any opposition in either of
these States the Union candidate is a democrat.
The wings as usual appear to care nothing for
power, but with n self sacrificing spirit have
yielded every thing for the sake of the Union,
because they knew that very few democrats
would vot" fora wing even to save it.
The Cuban instruction is the next most i'm
poriant topic here now, and is rung upon the car
at every corner. This day week ago, near
hve hundred picked men left in the steamship
"Pampero" the fastest steamer in the Gulf, and
have no doubt before this met the royalists some
where. They were well armed in every partic-
lar and carried six pieces Of artillery and cord,
OF the munitions Of war with them. There are
two other steamers getting ready here now, and
over thousand men enrolled for the war, be-
sides about five hundred who have come in COM

1t is generally believed here that Cuba will be
free in few mouths.
The crops OF Cotton, Sugar and Rice through
out the south and southwest will be abundant
this year, and In consequence ofthe unpreceden-
ted dry weather, will mature earlier than usual.
