CHARLES COUNTY AWAKE

THE Hon. WEI. D. MERRIcK ADvocAr-
ING THE ELECTION OF ScorT.-On Tues
day last, says the Baltimore Patriot,
there was an enthusiastic meeting of
the Wings of Charles County held at
Port Tobacco. The zeal and numbers
OF the Scott men present showed con-
cIusiveIy that the letters of Jenifer will
not tell with any effect in that section
Old Charles is wide awake, and will
roll up an unusually large ma ority for
Scott and Graham Besides Messrs
George Brent and Reeder. the meet ing
was also addressed by the Hon VIM d.
Merrick, recently published in the Lo-
CO Foco papers as one of the changes.
Col. Merrlck advocates in the most zeal
Gus and eloquent manner the election
of Old Chapultepec.
Since the meeting we have been
shown a letter written by Col. Merrick
to Col. Ricaud, one of the Wing cleo
tors, from which we have been allowed
to make the following extract:
"If live | shall cast my vote for the
Wing electors, or in other words, for
Scott and Graham; and | hope every
good Wing and indeed every sober
minded, rejecting citizen will do the
same within and beyond Old Maryland.

DAVENPORT MANurACToRIEs.

For some time We have contemplated a
visit to the differen, manufacturing estab

Of describing their facilities for doing bust

almost every article they need il msnufac
tured here, aud Of course can be obtained
cheaper than when bought Of second o.
third purchaser. Last week we bad lit
tie leisure and called in at
BURSELL'S SAW MILL
This is the most conveniently located o.
the Saw Mills and hence came first within
the range Of our walks. The saws were
10 full operation, the other machines being
at that time idle. The works Of this es.
fablishmeot are carried on upon three
floors. The basement is occupied BY the
engins and carding macbine-a notice
Of which will be found 10 our advertising
columns.

The third floor OF this establshmen,-or

Gently been completed and is now for rent.
II presents an excellent opportunity 10 any
one 10 want Of steam power TO conduc,
their business.
This y brief description of single
one Of ihe half dozen saw mills in this city
and upon its outskirts, each Of which we
will notice at our leisure. To give an idea
Of the demand for lumber here, We would
mention that requiring a few thousand
feet Of seasoned boards last week, we were
obliged to send 10 Rock Island and pay s25
per thousand Tor them.
