SALE OF MOUNT VERNoN.-The Mutton
al nteligencer says: awe understand thai,
Mr.. John A. Washington, the proprietor Of
Mount Vernon, has disposed Of that vene-
rated mansion, with two hundred acres of
the landed estate, TO a company comprising
Northern and Southern men, for the large
sum of two hundred tn ousand dollars. To
what purpose the purchasers mean to apply
the property, we have no. heard; but we
are very glad to learn that the terms of sale
reserve 10 Congress the privilege Of taking
it. Another and an Irevocable condition of
the sale is that the remains Of General Wash
ington are never, under any circumstances,
to be removed from their present resting
place. We are informed that the purcha-
sers offered largely increased price to have
the sale made absolute; but Mr.. Washing
ton replied tina. he would not for any sum

We call the attention Of The Whigs al


this county TO the following communication
Mr.. WELLS: We have observed notice in
the "Times" calling Primary Meetings on the 3Oth
of this month to send Delegates to a County Con.
vention, at Port Tobacco on the Goth of July. for
the purpose of electing Delegates to Congress.
siona Convention, at Bladensburg, on the Sd OF
August.
We have also noticed the Recommendation OF
the Wing members of the Legislature that there
should be a Convention in Baltimore on the lst OF
September to consider upon the course to be pur.
sued by the party at the election of State officers
in November next.
Considering the season of the year, and that
every person in this county will be busiy engag-
ed in their harvest on the 30th, we suggest that
the Primary Meetings be postponed to the 9th OF
July, and that those meetings then to be held, in
struct their Delegates to the Convention to be held
at Port Tobacco the goth of July, to nominate
candidates for the next State Legislature and
other county officers, if the Convention and the
Wing party of the county deem it proper and ad.
visible to nominate candidates for those Offices
Thus will one Primary Meeting and one Count,
Convention serve all the purposes of the party
without calling us unnecessarily from our business

The Democrats of Baltimore city held
primary meetings on Thursday last, to vote
for delegates to the City Convention, to
nominate and elect eleven delegates to the
|Gubernatorial State Convention of the 10Th
Of August. There seems to have been a
very warm end close contest between the
Mitchell men and Independents, or Anti.
Mitchell men. 1t is conceded, says the San
that the Mitchell men have bare majority
of the delegates, the summing up being va.
riously stated at from AZ to 40 for the In.
dependent ticket, to 81 to So for the Mitch.
ell ticket. The City Convention me. las
Monday evening, but owing to some dsa-
greemen. among its members, adjourned
over wi,hou. efecling the ohjec. for which
it assembled, till Wednesday yesterday,
evening. The Baltimore papers Of to-day
will probably contain the proceedings o.
this convention.

THE MARKETS.
BALTIMORE. June %,

GRAIN.-The receipts and supply of Grain are
very light. We qnote red Wheat at 81 or 81 o.,
and white do. at 08 81 IL to 81 Is per bushel,
as to quality. About 5000 bushels of Corn was
offered on Change this morning, and partly sold al;
81 50 cents for white, and 81 So cents per
bushel for yellow. Maryland and Virginia Oats
SO 80 cts per bushel.
ToBAcco.-The market for Maryland Tobacco
from the lower counties continues much as last
week, the demand, if there be any change, being
more active, and shippers more anxious to fill
their orders. This is SAID to be owing 10 the fall
ing off in the receipts, and to the apprehension Of
a shorter crop than was expected. Prices have
not advanced, but they are decidedly in favor of
sellers. We continue last weeks quotations.,
which are fully supported, viz:
Common Maryland, 81. 5Oa4.75; good common
IS; ordinary middling to middling S5.25a5.5 so !;
good to fair mddlng $5.75as6; and fine s6.25ae,
according to quality.
The demand keeps the market bare. The re-
cepts from the upper counties continue to arrive
freely, and meet with ready sale at former rates.
which are fully supported, except perhaps for the
finest qualities, which are rather less in demand.
There continues to be an active demand for Ohio
Tobacco, which sells freely at about former rates.
The stocks in market light, and mostly of very
recent inspection, the demand for some time past
having cleared off all the stocks on hand
The inspections of the week comprise $50 hhds.

this week. We note sales of about 5000 bushels
at SO 100 cts. for red, and 1913 l05 cts. for
white Yellow Corn IS cts; white do. so cts
Oats 40 cts.
Cause.-The demand for this article exceeds
the supply. Heavy sales are being made by the
agents. A cargo of about 1900 tons is now below.

We are sorry TO learn from the followin

We are sorry TO learn from the following
letter, from Dr.. Bsyne to the editor of the
Marlboro Gazette, that the Cholera, or a
disease resembling it, has made its appear
ance in Prince Georges county. Our OBJ
jec! in publishing the letter is to warn our
citizens that this dreadful disease is still
threatening them with an attack. The ex-
cellent advice given by Dr. Bayne if alien
ded TO-, particularly at The present time, while
the premonilory symptoms of Cholera are
becoming more general throughout this Sec
ton of country, may save many lives:
PRINCE GEORGE s COUNTY, June 18th, 1853.
Dear Sir : regret to inform you of the
loss Capt. Geo. w. Marsiott, Of this county,
has sustained in the sudden death Of two Of
his valuable servants.
On Wednesday, as am informed, one OF
his servants living in Alexandra was vio-
lenlly attacked with disease some what re-
Isembling Cholera, and in less than "a hours
expired. Another man belonging to the
same gentleman, and living in The same
house, was Immediately despatched TO COM
municae the intelligence to his master and
on his way from Alexandria, was suddenly
attacked on the Public Road in The same
manner as the first. | saw him in about
three hours after the attack and found his
case bordering on complete collapse. His
extremlles were cold, thirst Unsuitable, pulse
mperceplible, cramp in the abdomen and
legs, with one leg as rigid as post, voice
se2ulchral, face cadaverous and emacia,ed.
All the remedies were unremtlIngly employ
cd for several hours which were practical
under the circumstances Of being on the
ground and IN the open air, without sue
ceedng in establishing reaction. He lin
gered through the night and expired this
morning.
Although would hesitate TO pronounce
this genuine case Of Asia,ic Cholera, yet
the analogy is close, and the symptoms in
many particulars approximate very nearly
to some of the cases which occurred in my
practice in June, 1882.
The first approach of the epidemic influ-
ence Of The cholera in that year, was felt in
the prevalence Of dysen.ary, diarrh@a, and
arrangement Of digestion and as we at this
time, have many of these premonitory sffrc-
tions it becomes our duty to adopt every
precausion in svoiding unripe fruits, crude
vegetables and other excuses, which may
operate as approximate causes in the pro-
duclon Of those diseases.
Yours, &C., JNo. H. BAYNE.

GUANo AND THE FLY.-A farmer upon
the Ocsoraro, has given i. as his opinion,
tina. guano is a preventive Of the fly in
wheat. He said be had noticed, in several
fields where guano was used, an entire ex-
empiion from the ravages Of this insect, but
The mos, remarkable instance Of it occurred
in field in his neighborhood, one half OF
which was covered with guano and the
other half with stable manure. The latter
was almost devoured by the fly, while the
former was untouched. We should like TO
hear from other farmers who have used GU
eno in wheat culture. If it be remedy a.
gains. the fly, The fact ought to be made
public.

GENERAL OF THE JEsUITs.-From the
Partisan miscellaneous items in the Cour-

raj congregation Of the Jcsuits is TO meet on
the 2lsl of June inst, and proceed to the
election Of new General Of the Jesuils, in
The place Of the reverend father RooIhaan,
lately deceased. The General is elected for

able than those conferred by any other re-

KENTUCKY TOBACCO CRoP.-The Louis

ttfE COUTUQt III tUe 1(tD instant says.
"During the present month the receipts
and sales have fallen off fully one-third, as
compared with last year q. The same period.
In addition The unusual and long continued
dry weather, and the general unfavorable
season for tobacco crop, has caused con-
siderable alarm among the planters in re-
gard to the mex, crop, and many anticipate
less than half Of the usual yield. From
every quarter Of The tobacco growing region
the complaint is general, and unless good
deal of rain falls during the next few days
the worst fears will be realized. Through
oul Christian, Warren end Hopkins coun-
lies, and the Green river district, as well as
the Southern portion Of the State Of Ten
nessec. The drought has been severe, and q
great scarcity Of plants is complained of.
The msrke! has assumed much frmer
tone Than prevailed previously, and The
planters are Withdrawing their tobacco
We see by the New Orleans papers Of the
9th, that upwards of 1900 hogsbeads Of to-
bacco sold there 10 one day, which was an
unusual large transaction even for that mar
kei.

INQUIRIES ABOUT SHANGHAIs.-A Mo-
hawk farmer writes to an Agricultural editor
that the "hen fever" RACES scme up that way,
and enquiries
"Now what do you think Of the variety

81 tell you, Mr.. Editor, they put things
