brings forty-seven officers and privates, late
" belonging to the Revolutionary army of
Hungary, bu, lat,erly kept under the surveil-
lance of the Sublime Porte. Their liberia
ton was granted by the Sultan some months
since, on condition that they leave their ma
tive land forever Hard as that condition
was, it was less cruel alternative than that
which was likely to make them prisoners
for life in ali Asiatc dungeon. They en-
barked from Constaninople and arrived at
Liverpool few weeks since, where they
were treated with the same hospitality and
kindness, which. they will doubtless NEE,
with here. 1t is understood that these Hun
garans are on their way to the new colony

LARGE WHEAT Mr.. JAMES L. Fox
WELL, Of ST.. Mary's county, has left a, our
office sample Of light red or yellow
Wheat which was grown upon his farm near
Poin, Lookout, and is said 10 be equal, if not
superior to the Coad Wheat. !. is certainly
very remarkable for size. Eleven grains
of this Whea, will weigh as much as twenty
three grains of the ordinary varieties grown
in this country, as has been ascertained by
actual experiment As an evidence of its
prolific qualities, Mr.. Foxwell, furnished US
with the following statement A small guam
ti,y of it, not more than quart, was brough h,
into this country in 1916 by Capt. Parke err,
from, whom Mr.. F. obtained - grains, which
were sown in 1912, and the product was
5 half-pints--this was sown in 1913, and
produced 8 bushels; in 1919, 2 bushels
were sown which yielded SO, and in 1850,
4 bushels were sown, which, judging from
the bulk, will yield 1000 bushels-equal
in every respect to the sample we have in
our possession.
We do not take upon ourseif the re-
sponsibili,y of recommending this Whea,
as being superior to any other description,
as we are not sufficiently acquainted with
the different varieties. Should our Farmers
desire any of it, they can procure it from an
agent in Baltimore, or from Mr.. Foxwell,
near the ''Ridge" pos.-oflice, in ST. Mary's.

We publish for the information Of those
of our subscribers residing near Port To-
bacco, who have desired the s'Times'' to
be sent to the post office in this place, the
following decision by the Postmaster Gene
raj -
Postmasters are not bound to receive from the
publishers weekly newspapers published in the
city, town, village where the post office is kept,
and deliver them to subscribers calling at their Of
flee for them The right to <'circulate in the mail
within the county where pubishcd,' - does not inn
pose on postmasters the duty of receiving and de-
livering papers which do not go into the mail and
where publisher seeks TO throw upon the post
master the labor of delivering his papers, for the
purpose of relieving him from the expense of their
delivery, the postmaster will be justified in refus-
ing to deliver them. He should, in such cases,
inform the publisher of his determination not to
receive such papers.
If postmaster receives and delivers such pa
pcrs for the convenience of the publisher or sub
scriber, he cannot charge any postage thereon
and the Department desires that postmasters should
act with courtesy in this respect, and deliver such
few papers as may be sent TO their Offices for the
convenience of the subscribers but they are not
expected to receive them when the number is
such to Indicate that it is the intention to throw
upon the postmaster labor which the publisher
should perform.
So it appears that by this decision we
have not the right TO place our papers in this
post Office for distribution, except by the
s'courtesy" of the postmaster. Mr.. Dyson,
who is polite officer, says he will cheer
fully extend 10 us that courtesy

New VARIETY OF SWEET PoTAToEs.-
A gentleman residing in South Alabama,
writes 10 friend in Louisville, concerning
variety Of Sweet Potato, supposed to be
from Peru. lie says:
''ll is altogether different, and much su-
perlor to any variety of this root hitherto
known. 1t is productive, and attains pro-
digIous size, even upon the poorest sandy
land, and the roots remain without change
from the time Of taking them out of the
ground until the following May. The plan,
is singularly easy of cultivation, growing
equally well from the slip or vine, the top
or vine Of the full grown plant being remark
ably small the inside is as white as snow.
1t is dry and mealy and the saccharine prin-
cipIe contained resembling in delicacy the
favor Of fine virgin honey.

CULTIVATION OF BLACKEERMEs.-T
cultivate the blackberry in the neighbour
hood of Boston. An old pasture is broken
up, the sprouts are planted in rows in Oc-
tober, and kept clear of weeds and otherwise
treated like raspberries. The .Agrcultur-
ist' says that the fruit thus produced is Of
a size and flavor which surprises those " o
are only acquainted with the wild black
berry.

MURDER IN LoUDoUN COUNTY, VA.-By
letter from "Pleasant Retreat" Loudoun
county, we are informed of quarrel which
took place few days since, between Mr..
Lee Thompson and Mr.. Clarke, sch DOL
teacher in the neighborhood of Leesburg,
which resulted in the death Of Thompson.
The quarrel, as we are informed, was
brought about by Clarke's having punished
Thompson's children while under his
charge and in his school, to which Thomp-
son took exception, and abused Clarke
Clarke, in company with friend, went TO
Thompson's house in the afternoon, and
demanded the retraclion of some offensive
language which Thomson had used to him
in the morning, which Thompson refused
to make, when Clarke drew revolver and
fired upon him, the ball entering his left side,
causing his death. Clarke was arrested, and
is now in Jail at Leesburg. Thompson,
leaves wife and six children.-Alerandria

STEAMERS TO LIBERIA.-The next Con-
gress, it is hoped, will adopt measures to
establish line of steam vessels to Liberia,
The importance of the project to the South,
in connection with slavery, is thus stated
in the Richmond Republican
The various non-sIaveholding States are,
one after another, closing their doors against
the free blacks! What is TO become of
them? Where are they to go? Happily,
in the case of African Colonization, the die
tates Of humanity and Of interest combine,
and both poin! to the coast of Africa. To
strengthen Liberia is the surer way to open
to us the commerce of Africa. Let us en-
able her TO open roads into the interior as
far as practicable. 1t is believed that by a
prudent and energetic effort, the whole trade
of the river Niger and the valley Of Tim
buctoo would be thrown through Liberia in
TO the hands Of American merchants.

TIE USE OF THE FIELD ROLLER IN CUL-
TIvATIoN.-We have often adverled to the
great advantages Of the roller on sandy soils.
But while we deem It's use almost Indspen-
sable to good crops Oh sandy porous soils,
we claim for il a great advantage on almost
any soil. After the ground has been
thoroughly uplurned and pulverised, ii re-
1uires 10 be partially compacted again 10
render it suitable to hold the roots or plants
firmly and give them their fullest supports
and most rapid growth. Many farmers pre-
fer to let their pIowed fields rest some days
after preparing them TO receive the crop, be-
fore sowing, SO as TO allow Of the earth set
Ting well together. 1t is preferable, how
ever, first to sow the seed, then settle the
earth firmly around it by the use of the mos
approved kind of field rollers.

Telegraphic Summary.

The news from b )ston represents that the peace
of the city is undisturbed, though two armed ne
groes have been examined and held to bail They
found in Court Square, with pistols and knives
concealed about their persons They seem to have
acted on the silly advice given by Wendall Phillips
in his speech on Boston Common last week, for he,
1t seems, stood as bail for both prisoners. This
w endall Phillips is man of property, and gradu-
ate of Harvard College, where he gave promise of
real usefulness to society, by his early literary
quirements. lie is the of John Phillips, the
first Mayor Of Boston, who elected to that Of
nee in Is22, and who died in lS23. He left hand
some property, large portion of which the pos
sesses Wendall Phillips has been devoted to the
vocation in which he has been engaged in eonnec-
ton with The abolitionists, and he might have had
some influence ill he exhibited his resent inaan-
,natory spirit Ills Own bad counsels, however,
have overturned his power to DO any great evil
He may incte the ignorant to Illegal violence; but
the retribuon win be severe upon himself and the
victims OF his dangerous advice.
II will be gratifying to the friends Of their
try it, consttu ion and laws, to know that the cit-
sens Of Boston are determined to the laws ri the
United States enforced, aud no; submitted to the
tramIlng feet Of any insane minority. The militia
ny OF the city hold themselves in readiness to sustain
the federal and municipal officers.
