THE RECIPROCITY TREATY-ANoTHER STEP.

We are gratifed to learn that the Provinces of
Canada and Nep Brunspick having affirmed the
Reciprocity Treaty by legislative enactment and
made the necessary orders for carrying it into imme-
date effect, our Executive has very promptly signfed
his willingness to admit the produce of those Pro-
vinces into the United States on the same terms as
have been extended to colonial fish thus greatly
facilitating trade, and adding to the good feeling
which now exists between the two countries. The
colony of Prince Ed,oard Island will no doubt be
admitted into this arrangement as soon as the ne
cessary official information is received from that
quarter, its Legislature having met and passed the
requisite enactment. Noua Scotia alone does not
avail itself of this arrangement, its Government still
neglecting to take any movement respecting the
Treaty.
As an evidence Of praiseworthy dispatch on
both sides in giving effect as far as possible under
existing circumstances, to the Treaty, we may men
tion that the Legislature Of New Brunswick passed
the necessary act last Friday evening, and through
telegraph and the rapid movement of official agents,
official information Of the act was received in Wash
ington yesterday morning by the British Minister,
and by three o'clock the business was arranged by
our Government with him.

past And yet in an hundred years what changes take
place How different from 1854 is 1854 Look at any
department of mans pursuit. how different the aspect
from what it wore in 1854
We have lately in temporary possession of the
first two volumes of the Maryland Gazette, published
at Annapolis in the years 17456 We defy any to
look these venerable relics of newspaperdom with
out feeling himself irresstaby drawn into contempl-
on Of the differences between ourselves and respect
ed progenitors of an hundred years agone.
At the time of the publication of those volumes there
was no other newspaper published in MARYLAND and
not more than tVo besides this continent! Conse-
quently the Maryland Gazette was the advertising
medium Of all Maryland and also of portions of the ad-
joining States We find in the volumes before us some
advertisements from Prince Georges county and some
items Of the news Of those days, which copy below
Marlboro md Gazette.
I'VE copy from the Gazette's selection the annexed
items:
In the number of May 90 1746 we are informed that
on Friday last Hector Grant, James Horney, and Esther
Anderson, white servants, executed ut Chester in
Kent county pursuant to their sentence for the murder
Of their late master. The men hanged and the
man burned" U
In the issue of June 8, 1746 appears the following
miraculous announcement: On Saturday May "a l746

in the afternoon the weather clear and calm they saw

here for the county of Anne Arundel three persons
arragned for drinking the Preender health and being
found guilty, after fair trial. they were fined twenty
pounds EACH and obliged to give security for their good
behaviour"
On Friday August 2, 1745 appeared the following
nouncement: "On Tuesday last, at Upper Marlborough
in Prince Georges county, great reoicngs
count of the reduction of Cape Breton, handsome sub
scrpon being raised by the gentlemen Of the said

THE ARMY.

The frequent hostile incursions of the Indians in
our new territories ought to satisfy Congress that
an Immediate and decided increase of the military
forces of the country is indispensable, and that of
the proper description Of troops for frontier service
1t il impossible that adequate protection can be
Afforded by skeleton companies of foot soldiers ];
and he presence of small force among the from
tier Indians is only provocative to outrage.
There were several efforts made by the Military
Committee of the House of Representatives last
winte, to increase the efficiency of the Army but
an ADVANCE in the pay the only measure carried
This, aowever, had good effect as far as it went
but could only help to raise the Army to its present
authorized low standard. The Secretary of War
in his annual report recommended the addition of
one regiment of dragons and two Of rifemen. This
would Certainly not be too large addition to the
present military force.
