SEBAsTOPoL. May Goth, 1857.
Mn. EDIToR: Our little country scat is
nearly in sight of Bay View New Kansas and
also Of the residence of that (supposedl sub
lime and dignihcd writer, whose Cicero like
demonstrations IN Politics, &C., under the
fictitious names of Frank alias Nathan alias
Old Matthew alias Phlologer have all but
split the Rocks at Gilpn's Falls, by the au-
thors supposed cloquoncc i'll your neighbour
ing sheet, to Try to make the people believe
that the same self conceicd party were Dem
ocratS, but from .he language, sarcasm and
poisonous epitheis used, III those various
epstlcs, (by scrutiny proves beyond contra
diciion, that it is the same self conceitcd
and consolidated Pseudo.
He speaks recently of the dying appear
ancc of the X. n. party in two cpi,tles, but
by his cvading the truth by saying that the
corrupted X. n. party were the incunbcnts
Of eight or ten drinking houses within four
miles of, his designated place." when at the
same time majority Of them are Democrats,
proves beyond the contradiction of man that
he is either ignorant of his county or wants to
falsely represent it. lie has also, in ASST
ming so many names. only proved that his
changes of names are only about comrncnsu-
rate with his changes of Politics, for it is well
known that his political predictions were
only properly known short time after the
Election, when he held his flags and banners
TO the breeze. Now one word to the consol
idatcd Pseudo Write of about what you
know; say no more about your neighbors; let
them alone; never mind Politics as you new
or can rise thereby, you have tried every
shape side and branch of them, and not yet
been promoted to anything of distinction,
and also recolect the party called by such as
yourself K. N, will keep you where you are,
that is little and unknown, and will carry
our district county and State against any
party that may be arraycd, whether that par
~ may consist oGDcmocrats, Old Line Wings,
Foreigners, or combination of them, we
care not, we will elect an American Ticket in
spite of every effort.

Port Deposit Items.

Contrary to reports earlier in the spring,
there is every prospect that there will be a
large amount of lumber down. The river has
been high for some time; at its greatest height
several floats broke from anchors and were
carried to the Ferry Shoal and other places
below; part even to Swan Creek. The water
is again rising and the hoaters taking greater
precautions to secure their property.
OH Mr.. Gilmorc's float Tuesday last,
while planting oar-StemS, the better to prevent
its getting away, an unfortunate IriShman
named Callahan, had his leg broken below the
knee, by the stem falling upon him. He was
carried ashore and attended by Drs. Carson
and Norris.
"A timber float towed out by the s'Ju-
niata'' for Chesapeake City, broke from the
steamer, Tuesday about A. NJ, while under
Turkey Point. during a heavy Northeast
storm. The boat left them to take care OF
themselves and came to Port for instructions.
An up-rivcr-man counted the RATS and
arks now here, exclusive of timber and spars)
and reported 80; the general impression is
that there are more.
y. Reynolds & Son have purchased at
private sale the remaining spans of the old
Susquchanna bridge, excepting the span over
the canal on Hartford side. which is said to be-
long to Geo. Stephenson, Esq.
The spring is slowly giving evidence of
its presence and our hills gradually assuming
their green mantle; if after the saturaton re-
ceived since Monday night Old Sol will give a
glowing display of his tervent affection for
Mother Earth. Dame Nature will speedily don
her pretticst behavior, and cheer our hearts
by her smiles.
W ondcrful reports are rife, about town,
in regard to ssPort' furnishing Governors for
two sovereign States. How the citizens ofthc
"Old Dominion will relish Maryland Gov
ernor, we know not, but surely when Ireiin
says "Yea,'' her best fSiends can hardly say
"Nay!' To prevent i'll feeling between the
North and South, and soothe elfcctually Sec
tional strife, the conservatives here, will not
send an officer to the South alone; Indionn
shall also be made glad, for ''out of Port shall
go Il Governor to rule her for her good"
Thus you see Port is s'not for the South as
against the North, nor for the North as against
the South.''

gle item in which our turner's are more unwisc
We have made enquiries of butchers and
others and have obtained sufficient data to cs-
innate the number of calves killed by the
butchers Of this county and sent alive from it
to The cities during the LAST twelve months. at
least 1900 to $500; the aggregate price Of
which to the own@rs vac not more than $4,000
had they been kept until four years old they
would have been worth from s5O, 600 TO So
coo; and the cost of raising them would have
been comparatively triing, as most farmers
have plenty ofpaSture in summer and wheat
straw in winter. Attention is called to this
subject. The stock of horned cattle in this and
neighboring States is diminishing yearly, and
they are yearly advancing in price, yet calves
are slaughtered every year by thousands when
they are comparatively valuclrSs.
In conclusion, may We not hope to hear
from some Of our a&riculturists on Nil these
subjects! VIII not the Major of WheItland

BAY VIEW, May 1Ith, 1857


Mr.. EplToR.--On the l1lh dav Of May
1857, a conference was held by the Locorn-
cos near New kHnSas, in reference to letter
that appeared in Tile Hbja from By View.
With two sheets of foolScap before them, and
the Elder j. prc>idingan four members pres
cnt. al! told they proceeded to business; first
going into Committee Of the Whole they re.
IRE. paper in land, and after an absence Of
rs hours they return ard lay the proceedings
before the Chair. AItcr mature drlibcration
II was deemed eXpclicmt to transmit them 10
the press. and let the Editor select what he
may think best suited for the intended pur-
pose In due time. after slight splinkling
Of Turks Island Salt, the proceedings arc
published and o. what an excitement is crea-
ted in the ncighborhood among the knowing
ones, especially the writer's. They at once
admit that "N0a Compos MentiS" is entirely
used up man and that he will never dare OPP
pose the combined forces of the Locofoco par
ty in tins corner Of the vineyard again: and
well he may decline to notice such balirr-
dash. But as 'Philologcr " did not stick to
facts it may he proper to say to him Tor thcm)
that il takes facts to satisfy tic people Of this
ncighhorhood 1t is not the truth that
there are eight or ten taverns or greg shops
within four miles of this place kept by Know
Nothings, and he knows it. If he knows
ANYTHING about the condition of:he American
party let him herald it forth. say it is in
Furnishing condition here and the proof
will be shown about voting time. l would
suggest that in their succeeding letters these
writers use the "We" instead of 'I' so all
concerned may have Their share or the glory.
