For the Port Tobacco Times.
MY MOTHER.

When was but tiny babe,
Nesting upon my mothers breast,
| knew no care, nor sorrow save
When she withheld her dear caress;
But now on manhood's verge | stand
l mourn my infant joys gone by,
No more to come no more at my command
And other joys and cares are nigh.
While keeling by my mothers side,
My little lips first learned to lisp
A prayer to Him who rules both far and wide
Now forth into the world go Cat my own risk
And ask no mortal aid but my mothers prayer
For she of all the world love most dear,
Who gave me BIRTH and sighed and shed teal
When |, her idol, was not near.
1t was my mother who first taught me know
A bleeding Saviours dying love!
10 her owe the hope which now
This aching heart with joy doth move!
And y, my mother, doubly blest
Art thou who gave to me
The Joyous hope of eternal rest,
Which too know is prepared for thee.
To thee my mother do owe
My life, my being, and my all :;
But now the time is near, | know,
When no longer shall answer to thy call;
And 0 +! my mother, let me bear
Thy most holy wishes along with me
And she'd oh shed no mourning tear
When far away from thee be.

NOTICE.,

VIE undersigned, Commissioners of Charles
Il County, regret much to learn that great COM
plant is made in portions of the county account
OF derelIction of duty on the part of some of our
Supervisors, of the following nature: That hands
have been known to meet on the public road and
idle away their time until 0 or o'clock, wait
ing for the Supervisor; and again hands have been
known to be employed on the road and the Super
visor, instead of giving his personal attention to
them, spending the greater part of his time at the
card table. These are charges, if true, regard
as an outrage upon the county and if subs antat-
ed Will not be for moment tolerated. And
whilst we believe it not only privilege but our
sworn duty to guard and protect the interests of
the county in all such cases, we likewise believe
1t the duty of all good citizens to cooperate with
US IN turherlng this end and as such things arc
not likely to come under our personal knowledge,
we hope that all persons in possession of such facts
Will make them known to US automatically, and we
pledge the removal instanter of any Supervisor so
offending. R. e. WATSON,

GREAT MEMS DANcINe.-We read that
Napoleon was o very awkward dancer
On one occasion he danced with a very
beautiful countess, who could not conceal
her bushes q, his ridiculous pastures. On
leading her to her seat, he remarked -
"The fact is, madam, my forte lies not SO
much in dancing myself as in making others
dance" This reminds US of an anecdote
Of Daniel Webster, who, being present at d
ball IN Washington during his incumbency as
Secretary of State, was asked by an effem-
nate, foppish sor. of chap, who though. a
good deal Of his own dancing, "Don't you
dance, Mr.. Webster? Inever see you dan
cling" "No," said Mr.. Webster, as he on
ly could say and look such things, 81
never had the capacity to learn how, sir"

! ops, but that is no rsassn Why you should
pay sum for it far sbo7snils intrinsic wal.
ne. Thirty pounds Of fer6sisp Gpsra end
seventy of Bones or of good9lalily Mex,-
can Gusno would make one hundred pounds
OF manure superior to &C. B. DeBurg's Su-
per Phosphale," and you can distribute
these over an acre much better by sowing
them separately, Than il they are mixed be-
fore being used. When you can purchase
the elements Of this manure then for abou,
thirty one or thirty two dollars, and have a
more thorough mixture by sowing them
separately on your fields, why buy this or
any other similar artificial manure The
valuation put on this manure by Dr.. Stew
at. is entirely too high and is no, warranted
by the analysis msde by him. In relation
to the supply of Pefuvan Guano, can
confidently inform you that the supply on
hand is probably sufficien. for the demand
this Fall, and i. is arriving in large quan,i-
ties every week. There need be no, the
siigh.es. fear OF scarcity this season and
the dealers will be anxious to sell now as
the consumers were to buy last Fall. You
can, therefor, suit your own convenience as
10 the time when you will purchase. This
advice is different from that given by those
who sell Guano. They are anxious to sell
as qulkly as possible, by which they will re-
alise their money or obtain their commits
sions; and therefore they advise consumers
to purchase Immediately.
am we'll aware, for the statements which
have made above, that, as heretofore, many
manure dealers and their adherenls will
strive to discredit my statements and do me
oil the injury in their power whenever an
opportunity cffers. Their efforts heretofore
have resulted in doing me no harm. The
sufferers have been those for whom am ap-
pointed to labor. 1t was duty not less
due TO you for your disin,eresied SER
vices TO the cause of scientific and practical
agriculture, that should give you The above
information, than it wss TO the agricultural
community tina, should publish it. If any
injustice has been done to any one by the
above communication, ] will with grea,
pleasure make all suitable amends when
made sensible Of my errors.

BALTIMORE AND Potomac RAIL Road
By the frs, section of the charter Of this
Company, sundry Commissioners were sp-
pointed, "under the direction of any five OF
whom, subscriptions were TO be received"
and the ACT particularly specifies that "ihey
or any FIVE Of them may cause Books to be
opened at such time and places as any flee
OF them may direct, for the purpose of re-
ceiving subscriptions TO the capital stock OF
said company"
The Commissioners being thus clearly
invested with power 10 open Books TO re-
ceive subscri p,ions were repeatedly called
IN by the press and the public voice to take
the preliminary steps contemplated by the
law. To begin The work, meeting for
consultation was held in Baltimore in July
last-a(ier which meetings were held in
several Of the counties interested in the
Road; acting under the clear authority OF
law they directed that Books should be o.
pened 10 receive subscriptions in the seve-
raj districts Of the county. No rational
mind doubted for a moment the right or the
erpediency of such course. But il seems
the Commissioners have been arraigned, and
hypercritical and illogical arguments used
to convince the public tina. they acted in an
Illjudged and unauthorized manner. The
undertaking has been prejudiccd, end some
Of the Commissioners greatly incensed a.
this uncalled for auckland we understand
steps have been taken to coun,eract wha.
ever influence the injudicious arguments al
luded TO may have exercised over the public
mind. If The recan,stion Of the position as
sumed be such as we have reason 10 believe
it will, no further ILLUSION to the subjec
will be necessary. The work is OF too much
importance TO be sported with at the whin
or caprice of any Observation-Disclosures
Gazette.

A SAD ALTERNATIvE.-We learn from
the Trumbull county (Ohio) Democrat lha,
in several parts Of tina, county the farmers
are killing their cattle, taking the hides of,
selling as much Of the carcass as they can,
and throwing the rest away. This is one
Of the sad effects oflhe drought. The grea.
scarcity Of feed is stated as the occasion of
a resort 10 The above mode of relief, in order
to prevent The entire loss Of cattle by slarva-
ton.

Corn AND ToBAcco CRoPs.-IIoGs.-
The Louisville Journal thinks that The alarm
excited by the drough, in relation to the
crops is much greater than the facts would
warrant. ], is an undispued fact that the
crops will be short but there is difference
as TO the extent Of The deficiency In re
gard to corn, The yield Throughout. the Uni
on will hardly be more than half an average
crop. But with full crop of all other era in,
large crop in Europe, and great falling
off in the exports to California (for accord
| ing TO our accounts from there flour is as
cheap as j! is here) the deficiency in corn
will be partly supplied.
10 speaking Of the hog crop The Journal
is of opinion that willis. there will doubtless
be a grea. falling off in the number of
hogs fauened, many will be killed without
being fattened, and The increase of number
this year over former years will in measure
make up The deficiency in weight. Mas. being
very abundant throughout the State will
be extensively used in fatlening.
The Tobacco crop in Kentucky and
Tennessee is very unPromising. in many
portions of Kentucky the crop will no, sv-
erage over 500 lbs. the acre. In Tennessee
the crop will be equally shor, and this To-
gether with the fact that the stocks Of old
tobacco are very small must give high
range of prices for the article.

PLASTER ON CoRN.-A gentleman near
this village, says the Marlboro Gosehe, who
is one among the very few who will make
any thing like passable crop of Corn, tells
US that he attributes The escape Of his Corn
from the effects of the prevailing drought,
TO free use of plaster upon il early in The
season. He had designed 10 spread some
fifty or sixty barrels of plaster upon his
Corn fields, as has been his practice, but by
some Misrepresentation Of his orders the
hands distributed about one hundred and ten
barrels Of this ar.icle-lesving then some
Ten acres of the Corn fed without its por-
lion. The Corn on all but these len acres
has stood the drought remarkably well, end
The Weld, though of course not SO large as
i, would have been in seasonable weather,
is quite large, and far exceeds that of his
neip hbors. On the portion not plaslered The
Corn is literally burned up. This is a fact
we'll worth the attention of farmers, and
we hope i. msy be useful IN future years.

ces, and it is now rapidly arriving. Almost

From the American of Saturday last
ToBAcco.-The late rains have dissipated much
of the apprehension entertained for the growing
crop of Maryland tobacco, and we are happy to
learn that letters from various parts the Western
Shore of Maryland express the belief that very
little injury has been sustained. There a fair
inquiry in the market this week for Maryland To-
bacco, but purchasers generally seemed indspos-
ed to take hold freely except at lower prices,
which holders would not submit to. The sales
were confined to such lots as suitable for the
purposes Of buyers, at about former rates, which
we continue, viz:
Inferior to common Maryland s5.50aS6; good
common to middling, SG.25aS6.75, and good tC
