DEAR RIckErrs.-Thc re-arrival of the
Helen Brown-oppoSiion tow boat and mon
opoly Sklnner--on Tuesday last created a
ltuttcr IN Juggling circles. The little steamer
first steamed into sight about 10 o'clock p.
NJ, towing two large vessels and fairly snort
ing with energy and fire. The news spread
among the concerned parties like Wild fire
and quickly Steamboat men were seen RUM
ing, lantern in hand, towards the Creek
All the night Engines We're Being frightened
and fires kindlcd. Morning came and off to
Port Herman piled the three racers. All the
day the contest wagcd lom and earnest. The
sun set, and the Opposition triumphant,
,rdhcd the water to her mooring at Court
House Point fairly screaming, in concert with
her patrons. So may Progress always
triumph over Old-Fogyism, I.ocomotsm over
Old age and improvement over monopoly, and
with cheer-an'la loud one for both par
ties thus much of our letter will close with a
promise Of renewing it whenever inclination
leads us so to do or occasion demands it..
A case of ''romancc in real life" occurred
few days since. A gentleman from the
land OF Goethe, Schiller and "Sahr kr0m,'
with a flowing mousachc and all the para
phernaila OF hat sort, not finding ducinca
suited to his fancy among the daughters of
his own fair land, cast his eyes and heart
around among the daughters of Maryland
and unfortunately for himself his inamorata
and all parties concerned, fixed his wander
al of
''licge-lord." A siege was laid and the
hesegcd -Rumor says--wouh have succum-
bed and left "the native born citizen" to the
peaceful enjoyment of solitude prcfering flight
Rwith foreigner" but the "nativc" discov-
cring matters ere they were already fixed,
stopped the intended flight, recalled the
wandering love of his fair lady and brought
her mind to a proper sense of her position
and condition by an application of the article
recommended by Solomon to the parents of
children. The times are degenerate indeed
when foreigners" must not only have our
lands, and control our elections but must
also clam our wives and daughters. "Sam's"
time has come.
Our Hog LawI fear. is ''non-cst-comeoti-

Pork is always about A scarcity of Horses
may be dcplorcd whiskcy may get scarce
and to judge from some faces around town
it soon will be: )the absence of Cows and
milk may be regretted, but if all else fails
Pork never will. No Sir, never while the
free and enlightened citizens of this glorious
lIog-Town hold their reason, never while
freedom of action thought and speech are al
lowed in the Country--ncver When fam
inc exists all over the land and the crops all
fail, Chesapeake City has only to say that
one mysterious ecstatic wor,l-"Pork !" and
hundreds of the principal deni.ens of the place
will be offered up. oh the beauty and de-

The health of the country and City is bad.
Several cases of Dyscntery ETC., are reported
by the Physicians to-day
'Scio'' is discovered; they say it around
town to-day-and firearms are in demand.
Bludgeons and and dirks have raised fifty
per cent since morning. The news came to

sure you, but when the person or persons
suspected were mentioned felt Yelieved.--
Its all false. Sclo is safe, but ii the citizens
