The weather which has for some time
past been very sultry, is not improved
by the recent heavy thunder storms, but
continues as oppressive as ever.
Our fellow-citizen, Colonel Suttle, the
master of the fugitive Anthony, arrived
at home yesterday. He looks as hearty
as buck. Everywhere he met with
the congratulations of eur citizens, and
arrangements are On foot for a public
rejoicing, that the law has triunphed
over the traitors.
The County Court have held most
important session this week, arranging
the county levy, &c. 1t has been deter
mined to expend 81 500 in repairs to our
county Jail.

Mr.. L. S. Hough, who was so severely
injured at the late fire, is slowly improy

The steamer Union has been withdrawn
from the Alexandria and Washington

There is great demand for small YES
sells among our merchants at this time:
large amounts of coal and timber for New
England and the British Provinces await
shipment, and the highest rates of freight
may be realized. AT the same time their
appears some difficulty in loading larger

Monday. The band of Mr.. J. Esputa has
been obtained, and every arrangement
been made to ensure the patrons of the

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, June 10

BALTIMORE, June I-lO Pm.
E'fIorse talk" and sporting phrases
have been much in vogue here for some
days. This is owing to there being an
unusual influx of persons especially in
terested In such matters. Passing by
little groups standing at the street cor
ners and elsewhere, they may be heard
deScantng upon the merits and dement's
of certain horses. One backs his opinion
by the protfer of bet, another takes him
up, &c. | cannot say that the physiVg-
Monies of all who attend this species of
amusement are peculiarly Characteristic
of practical piety. A countryman, of
whose misfortunes l heard yesterday
rather "green," OF consolidating had
his pocket picked of sixty dollars, applied
to police officer to arrest one of these
scientific gentlemen, known as .'thimble-
riggers," as the supposed thief. The
officer approached the individual whilst
he was busy turning the ''little joker, :"
and made known the accusation. Not
much surprised, the fellow very coolly
said the charge must be false. Picking
pockets, he asserted, "waS an entirely
different branch of business, and by no
means so respectable as mine. have
wife and family to maintain, and YOU see
am striving to make an honest living"
Tine fellows cool impudence took the
policeman aback, and he pushed his in
ycstigations no farther, whilst the coun-
trylnan walked of, apparently pretty
well satisfied with paying sixty dollars
for so valuable lesson.
All things considered, a race course
presents quite a striking scene. Here
you see human nature in various as
poets, vice In all its forms, and virtue
seldom. Every device that can be
thought of is brought into requisition to
secure illegitimate gain. The rolly-pooly,
faro, sweat cloth, and all manner OF
games are progressing. Golden treasures
are exhibited, and the chances of fortune
lone hundred per cent. against the ven
turer) set forth most eloquently. A few
faces are Lighted up with the smile of
Inomentary success, whilst hundreds look
woe-begone, indicating pretty plainly that
they turned upon the wrong side of for
tunes wheel. Pickpockets are busy
while professional gamesters genteelly
transfer what belongs to others to their
own purposes. If the race course could
be freed Of these innovations, and there
were no other aim than trial of speed
between two noble animals, the amuse-
ments would be much more palatable.
The first race, purse $500, to-day was
ven by Die Clapperton, in one heat.
The second-sweepstakes-was taken by
Wild lrishman- Sport quite exciting
large attendance.
The Know-Nothings of our city are
quite joyous over the allied victory in
Philadelphia. Numerous applications for
membership, and Little walks" are all
the rage. Both the old parties stand
back and lock astonished.

a Reply to the Song "Do frey Miss Ne at Home
We miss thee 1t home. Yes, we miss thee,
Since the hour that we babe thee adieu;
And prayers have enciTcled thy pathway,
From anxious hearts loving and true,
That the Saviour would guide and protect thee,
As lar from the loved ones you roam,
And whisper, whene'er thou art saddened,
1--WE miss thee-ALL miss thee AZ home"
When morning awakes us from siumber,
We catch from the lips the first kiss,
And fold in a wandering zephyr,
To be waited to him whom we miss;
And when We have joined the home circle,
And replaced the stiH vacant chair
In each eye arise gathering tear-drops
For lam we Were wont to see there.

For we miss tlee--al miss thee at home.
