admission of slave States formed out of terrific.
ry covered by that compromise; that standing
upon an issue so clearly right, no threats of

AN OLD MAN.-We had the pleasure of a
visit yesterday from one, perhaps of the Oldest
men in Maryland, Mr.. Richard Crandell, who
was born. in this county on the 10th Of July,
l747, and, therefore, will be one hundfed and
eight years Of age the 10Th Of this month. He
has not the appearance Of a man of more than
eighty, and even last fall he sowed nearly all
the grain on his farm. He is in the enjoyment
of most excellent health and spirits, and at the
age of one hundred he says he had not gray
hair in his head. He served as priVateersunan
during the Revolution and felatos many inter.
esting facts connected with the struggle for
American independence. May hel long continue
to enjoy the blessings OF health and shappl-
ness !-Annapolis Republican.

THE RAINS.

The rains of last week were the heaviest we have
had this year. Cotton is supposed to be considerably
injured and at least not benefited Some of our
streams overaowed their banks TO the injury of the
growing crops. But hear of no very serious dam
ages The grass has been growing apace in the mean
while, and splendid pas,urage is confidently antci.
pa.ed.: Our lands have heen washed considerably
and our roads torn up sadly in many places. The
harvesting Of the oats crop has been mpeded and the
crop itself deterorated Still, the provision prospect
is upon the whole very fine one. Corn is falling
well as flour; and they must both continue +, fall.
So say those who watch the markets. Without fur
thrr dissstsrs the recent high hopes Of the people will
yet bs realised to the full. few weeks more of sun.

THE EIGHT1ETH YEAR OF OUR 1NDE-

PENDENCE.- -,
The anniversary which has just ushered in the soh
year of American Independence seems to have passed
off with the usual manifestations Of pride and re-
joicing In our own Village, despite the shocking
weather of the forenoon, dinner was had and re-
spectacle round Of cannon fired by our young men in
honor of the day. We observe that in Columbia,
Lexington and several other localities throughout the
State preparations were made to celebrate the ami.
versary style worthy of its hallowed associations
This is certainly as it should be. Whatever may be
the divisions and disputes which now distract our
country ii is overnight to recall with lively gratitude
and glowing pride the Day in which the American
colonies threw off the Brtishsoke and asserted their
Independence before the world Would that the spirit
of 1776 were the spirit of 1855! =

THE ALLIES DEFEATED.
THE last intelligence from Europe, by The America,
tells fearful tale for the Allied Armies in the East.
The Russians had again defeated them in an engage
ment of unusual magnitude. The telegaphic state.
ment is that the English loss alone was four thousand
men and seventy-six officers, including Sir COLIN
CAMPBELL Another such blow as this, and the hope
of conquerng Russia into terms may as well give up
the ghost. Yet fighting before the world as they are
with all their ancient prowess and military renown at
stake England and France will perhaps redouble their
efforts with every defeat until victory shall be forced
to sit upon their banners AS Rome felt towards Car
,hags, SO feel they towards Sebastopo DeIendd e't

" for Turkey alone that now fighting, but for
the position of the two great Western nations as first

to prolonged and desperate struggle, who can tell
when it shall terminate, or how it. will result One
thing is certain, that by the time the Allies get out Of
this scrape with credit TO themselves they will be sick
enough of war and its membranes. 1t may cure
them of all desire to interfere with American affairs
and, if So their losses in Russia will not have been
