OLD FoGY AND YOUNG AMERIcA.-Mr
Millson, Democrat, of Virginia, in his able
speech in opposition to the Nebraska bill,
thus defined the characteristics OF "Y Dung
America: -
"Young America cannot wait. /. is per-
petually screaming Progresses progress .
The course Of Nature is altogether TOO slow
Nature is superannuated, driveller-
"A member. An old fogy.
Mr.. Nilsson. Yes; an old fogy. All tina,
is wise, and just, and temperate and patti
otto, and respectable it calls 'fogyism >
ShoIlow, saucy, head-slrong, foolhardy, it
sees no danger and avoids none. The discip-
line of Dung America would loose the ava
lanche from its bed, and leap on j. TO guide
its course down the steep side of the noun
tain /; and The same rocks against which he
would be hurled, and which would throw
back his mangled and lIfeless body to the
ground, would echoe his wild Shouts of
triumph. These advocates Of progress would
plunge into the swift current of Niagara,
and wave their hands with delight while the
rapids were hurrying them TO their dreadful
fate +; and even when borne to the very
brink of the torrent, their song ofexullslion
would mingle with the roar Of the cata-
racl.'

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1854.
FOURTH OF JULY.

The celebration Of our National Ami
versary took place in this village in accor-
dance with the arrangements previously
announced by the Port Tobacco Literary
Debating Club. Notwithstanding the 9TH
was one Of the warmest days we have ever
experienced in this latitude, a very large
number Of persons from the surrounding
country came together, and, evidently too,
in the true spiri. of American palriotism.---
|. is pleasan! duty to bear witness to The
deep, sincere and abiding attachment Of our
people to the republican institutions, for
when they feel indebted to The wisdom and
patriotism Of their Revolutionary sires, and
under which they have prospered hey ond
all former precedent. There was not q
though. or a sentiment expressed by sny
which could in the remo.es! degree favor
disunion Of the States, because no such
thought or sentimen. exists any where in
this community. The people of CbaIle
know too we'll the value of the blessings
they enjoy,to be led or Influenced BY The
extremists Of either the North or South, 10
harbor for moment any trai.orous design
sgains, the Union and we are pleased to
believe the annual recurrence to, and obser-
vance of, the most glorious even. in our his
tory as q nation, serve effectually 10 fix
Union sentiments in the hearts of our peo-
pie.
Both the speakers who were selected for
the occasion by the Club acquitted them
selves quite handsomely, and their address
ss were listened to and received with mark
ed appreciation and applause.
The only regre, we have TO express in
connection with the celebration is, that no
effor, was made to raise funds for the cree.
ton Of the National Monument 10 Wash.
ington; and we heard that some persons
presen. were disappointed in not finding q
suitable box erected 10 receive the coniri.
buttons they had intended making for the
Monument. One lady in particular was
very anxious 10 find some one authorized
to receiver the money she wished to give.

STEAM NAVIGATION,

The COMMITTEE appointed TO carry pul
the objec. of-,he~following 'presmBfe shti
resolutions, (Which were adopted by the
Charles County Agricultural Society on the
l 18th of May Iasi,) are requested to meet q,
the Port Tabacco Warehouse on Friday the
18th instant, at 8 O'Clock, A. NJ, for the
purpose Of entering upon the discharge Of
the duties assigned them
Whereas, it is deemed expedient for the purpose
of facilitating the commercial trade Of this Sec
ton of country, that some other mode of trans
portation more certain and expeditions than that
now used should be effected by hecitzens of this
county and lchereas; for the accomplishment of
the above purpose, it is deemed best to introduce
steam navigation into our waters-therefore, be it
Resolved, That committee of five be appoint
ed by the Chair to inquire into the expediency and
practicability of establishing one or more depots
or wharfs on Port Tobacco creek and such other
navigabe waters on the borders of this county as
may induce steam boats to ply between said
places, Baltimore, and the District of Columbia
for freights and passage, convenient to the Plan
ters, Farmers, Merchants, Mechanics and all 9TH
err citizens and be it further
Resolued, That said committee examine and as
certain at what points it would be most desirable
to establish such depots and wharfs, to confer
with the land holders who may own such points
upon what terms they could be obtained, and to
report the same to this Society at their earliest
convenience.
The following gentlemen compose the
Committee: Samuel Cox, John Hamilton,
George P. Jenkins. Col. F. Tompson and
George Dent.
Capt. Joseph Lacey having kindly tender
ed 10 the Committee the use of his vessel
to convey them TO the dif1eren. points to be
examined, at the time above named, it is ne
cessary that punc.ual attendance be given
by each member of the Committee, so
tina. there may be no further delay in Attend
ing TO this important matter.

NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLuID.-This extraordi-
nary remedy for fever, is positive substitute for
Quinine IN all febrIle affections, and has none OF
its bad effects. 1t has been thoroughly tested by
the most eminent Physicians of Paris, in their ex-
tensive practice in the Hospitals, by order of the
French Government, and by great number of
Physicians and non professional men in the United
States, with complete success. 1t is not com
pound nostrum, but an entire new article in Ma
terra Medica, and is destined to succeed all other
remedies for Chills and Fever, as well as all fe-
brlle affections. See advertisement in another
column.

GUANo.- Since the Peruvian Govern
men. has seen fit to put the price Of Guano
up to $50 per ton, il behooves the Ameri-
can Farmer to turn his attention to a sub
sti.ule for this fertilizer, as, in our opinion,
very little satisfaction will be obtained by
memorializing Congress, as has been sug-
gesled by some Of our contemporaries, for
If the subject is taken up at all and acted
upon, which we consider extremely doubt
full, we have little faith in the idea of q
change of policy by the Peruvian Govern
ment so long as we continue to purchase
We don't say tina. Guano won't pay even
at $50 per ton, bu. we do say that mos.
farmers can buy or make what is Of least
equal value for $50. Phospbales and super
oh osp pilates, ground bones, poudreue, lime,
plaster, potash, soda, salt, and many other
fertilizers, can be bought so as to do the
farmer better service than Guano at $50
per ton. And any farmer who will set ear
nes,ly and in.elligen.ly to work to make
or saue ier,ilizing materials, can find in
some convenient swamp, or marsh, or
pond, or slough, what, wise treatment with
sal, or lime, or by miugIing with the con
tents of his barn-yard, will pay him better
than buying Guano at its present price.
Guano is quick, healthy, stimulating
manure, and has rapidly won wide repu-
,a,iou, not undeservedly. 1t suits those
who want TO see the beneficial result of
their application forthwith. But i. were
absurd to suppose that our farmers need
send to the Pacific Ocean for The means of
renovating their exhausted lands. There
are ample fertilizers beside, and more will
doubtless be developed by observation and
the progress of science. II all would hold
off from buying, the price of the Peruvian
dust must come down, or, ii not, we can
learn to do quite as well without it.
We think the course to be pursued 10y
orr Government in this matter, should sug-
ges, itself TO our Representatives, without
The necessity O: memorials from our farmers;
and as good public servants, watching over
the wants of those to whom they are indebted
for their position, .hey will no doubt use
every possible effort 10 secure what ronces-
s,ons ,hey may, towards an ameliota.i"n OF
The onsrous tax which is now imposed up
on us by this great manuring monopoly

DISCRETION THE BETTER PART OF VAL
oR.-Admiral Napier has discovered thai
there is no use Of attacking the Russian
fortress Of Sweaborg, before which, al the
last states, he was with nine screw ships oil
the line. A letter says
"The fortresses Of Sweaborg mounts 800
guns Of large calbre, one half Of which, il
is stated, could be brought 10 bear on any
ships attempting to pass through the mar
row channel to the harbor of Helsingfors
In the garrison are several thousand allile.
rymen, and il appears TO be the opinion OF
those who have given the subject much Sc
fious consideration, that our ships, no.wi,h-
standing their powerful armament, would
make bu. lille impression on batteries Of
solid granite. 1t is not. therefore, probable
that any attack on Sweaborg will be
made"
