The NEW PRESIDENT AND THE SouTu.-
MIR. Buchanan's election was scarcely fixed
fact before certain of the locofoco papers,
North of Mason & Dixon's, put forth that he
was in favor of Kansas being Free State,
BY the time this announcement got as far
south as Richmond Gov. Wise starts to Ian
caster to see Buchanan, with whom he had
an interview. 1t is said lie left Wheatland in
disgust and anger, at something which oc-
CURED there, but Since his return to Rich
mond the Enquirer of that city, seems to be
paving the way for Free Kansas policy on
the part of lhcincoming administration. Even
with hgh-strung Virginia politicians, it
seems, principle, or at least, profession must
give way to policy.
The letter of Buchanan to the California,s
in favor of the Pacific Railroad, which was
sent out there for effect too late to get back
here before the election, has brought down the
ire of some of the southern papers, which de-
nounce in severe terms its. principles and
arguments.

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing
PR,NclpIo, Nov. Goth, 1856

PRINCIPLE, Nov. 2Uth, 1896.
Mr.. EDIroR Last night was high time
in our little village. The Democracy of our
vicinity met to celebrate the election of
James Buchanan, and, suppose, to display
their strength: which, no doubt, they did
about as we'll as the circumstances would
permit.
1t was certainly divertng to see the rum
carried out, and after the gallon measure had
been emptied some four or five times, then
the lore Of country began to show itself, and
the most appropriate part Of the proceedings
was when they gave three cheers for the
Union, for it truly was union, partly made
up of people Of many nat ions and colors, all
in union at the tin measure.
1t would have been highly gratifying to
the Old Line Wings of Cecil could they have
been here to have heard the prayers offered
up in their behalf, by one of our citizens, a
very jealous and en- thusiastic democrat OF
the new school. The good book teaches that
prayers should be spir tual, and feel quite
certain that these were offered under the
influence OF the spirits, Gin measure.)
s'To the victors belong the spoils;' so lei
them enjoy themselves; let them shout ovel
the triumphs of others, for they have none Of
their own. Our cause is a good one, and
my word for it, another election in our State
will about finish their Growing.

| After long and much to be dcplored in
terval: the Port Deposit Academy is again
open for the admission of pupils. The
Trustees of that Institution have succeeded
in engaging the services of Mr.. Archibald
Hawkins as Princi pal. Mr.. Hawkins has
every requisite for conducting school,, and
if the people of Port Deposit could but be
induced to appreciate the Importance of
educating their children, instead of letting
them run wild in our streets, as many are
now doing, the school wou ld soon be in a
prosperous condition. From Mr.. Hawkins
well known reputation as teacher, 1 am
satisfied new era has opened among the boys
Mr.. E. J. Rinehart has, within few days
past. purchased the property on the opposite
side Of the river, known as .Bell's Ferry"
for the purpose Of establishing Lumbe
Yard and Grain and Produce Depot at that
place. He intends erecting forthwith a large
wharf, on which he will put up first class
warehouse. This improvement has been
much needed by the Hartford people, and
they will hasten to avail themselves of its
cilites.
The Port Deposit ssLiterati'' or Reading
Circle, are holding their weekly meeting,
again, but from some cause they do not ap-
pear to be as well attended as they were last
winter. Some attribute il to the fact that
ont of the whole number, (Which was quite
larSe.) that attended last winter, male and
female, not single instance has occurred OF
any one Of the members having changed their
state OF single desperation for one of double
blessedness, and they conclude that If all
the efforts made use Of then have availcd 80
little, it is folly to try that game any longer.
| am, however, induced to dissent from the
general opinion; for, il am not mistaken, a
change has come over the spirit of same of
their dreams, which bodies a favorable result:
and if it were not for fear that might be
considered personal, and another demand be

remark, that man with but one eye might see

shaking among the dry bones before a great
while, if not sooner.
The rival Society, known as the Singing,
or Counting School, still keeps up it. weekly
meetings, also; and, although its reputation
has suffered somewhat from the same cause,
| am pleased to have it in my power to say
there appears to be a fixed determination
among its members to redeem its character
during the coming season; and if successful,
we hope to have joyful time of it this
winter; for which desirable end hope our
ministers will pray, as in duty bound, &c.

art OF capturing them is reduced to science.

qualification. Their lives are devoted to
their calling. Sometimes they set forth sole

associates, Capt. Boone and John Purncll,
makes frequent forays among the duck tribes,
with fearful carnage. These men often take

the Chesapeake, using dccoys Week before

days and a half. Ike has with him on this
trip about fifty brace of black ducks, saved

hunters, with small smack and three boats.
to conceal themselves in the scdge within gun

often have plenty Of work; but Ike says it

the Bay of Chalcur on the coast of Labrador,

ducks, just ilcdged, literally covered the wa

with the hand. In the absence of market,
there was no disposition to disturb them"

neer of the Delaware Railroad Company have
run the line of that portion of the Maryland
and Delaware railroad is about onehalf mile
below Dover, and the road runs from thence
west eighteen degrees. south to the MARYLAND
line. This is represented as being the short

The Marylandcrs, is is said, desire to run

to connect with Jersey and make straight

seeing, or pretending to see, in it great

was an extremely doubtful conflict. and that
the result is rather to be attributed to good
