A SWEET MoRsEL. -Proyerbially Bit
ter as is the editors cup as general
thing, it is now and then sweetened to
some extent by the kind hand of some
considerate friend. Such has been our
experience of an editors life; and we
have never failed publicly to acknowledge
our grateful feeling for such testimonials
of regard, an instance of which we have
this week received in the shape of we'll
filled dish of the whitest and most deli
cious honey we ever feasted on. We
have no personal acquaintance with our
kind benefactor, but learned through the
medium by which his bounty was con-
veycd to US, that it is Mr. DOVE, who
proposes to furnish the people of our
county, on moderate terms, with bee
hives He certainly ought to be patron
ised if the article he sent us is a fair
specimen of the honey turned out by his
hives.

EN- The subioined communication haj

GS- The subjoined communication has
been sent us by very warm personal
friend, and although we differ essentially
in our political views from those of the
gentleman who is suggested as fit rep
resentative of this District III the next
Congress, yet we cheerfully yield it a
place in our columns, as well from re-
gard to our friend as from the high con-
sideration we entertain of the many ster-
ling qualities of head and heart which so
eminently characterize the individual
whose claims upon the District are so
zealously urged. 1t would afford us un-
alleged pleasure to see Mr.. DAVIS in Con-
gress, were his political sentiments such
as to allow our giving him an earnest
and cordial support; and we yet hope
that, upon further reflection, he will find
it not only consistent with, but impera-
lively demanded by his sense of public
duty, to sustain Democratic men and
Democratic measures as tho only safe
guard and bulwark against the aggrcs-
sions of Black Republicans.

THE SEN TINEL
ROCKVHYE. WE'D
ORGANIZATION,

We perceive that our friends in some
counties of the State have nominated
their Legislative and local candidates
with promptness and harmony worthy
OF emulation by us of Montgomery. Our
experience in politics has long since con-
WINGED us that the Democratic cause
sust"ins no loss by early and perfect or
ganization, and by constant and earnest
advocacy of its principles. Especially
do we believe this to be the case at the
present time, when its aims and objects
tower so high above those of the faction
with which it will have to contend, and
among people Of such general intelli-
gence and true-hearted patriotism as our
county contains.
We, therefore, hold up to the Demo-
Gratis and Union Wings of Montgomery
the example of their brethren above ad-
verified to, and advise them to follow it
without further delay. The prevailing
sentiment seems to be in favor of con-
ventional action upon this subject, and
it is high time that incipient steps were
being taken for full representation of
our party in County Convention, to nomi-
mate candidates for the various Offices to
be filed next fall. We have everything
to encourage us to this measure the ut
most harmony prevails in our ranks /;
Democrats and Union Wings are linked
heart and soul and hand to give finish
ing stroke here to the Know nothing
monster The determination has been
long since apparent to run ticket COM
posed of the strongest men in the coun-
ty, irrespective of former party associa-
tions; strong in moral and mental worth;
strong in every quality calculated to com
mand the confidence and support of a
discriminating constituency. Let this
determination be fully developed by
speedy organized action, and we will be
prepared to see Kuow-nothings falling
on the right hand and on the left.

NEXT GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND.-We
perceive that the approaching Guberna-
torial contest is beginning to receive the
attention of many of our Maryland CO.
temporaries, as it well may, now that a
State convention has been formally called.
The general anxiety manifested in the
matter by the newspapers in the conser-
vative interest is gratifying sign, in
asmuch as it may be taken as an indica-
ton of the current of public opinion +;
and we are glad to see that their tone,
without exception, appears to be in favor
of an active canvass, and that the con-
sentative strength of the State is likely
to be thoroughly rallied and to go into
the campaign with great energy and
spirit. This circumstance is likely to be
of service in another way, for it Brings
forward the views of every portion of the
party as to the best man to be put at its
head. In this connexion we notice that
the Eastern Shore journals, almost with
out exception, together with several on
this shore, unite very warmly in urging
the fitness of Col John G. Groome, Of
Cecil, as the conservative candidate fol
Governor. Several other prominent
citizens have also been named in the
same connection, and, although Our can
didate is he who shall be nominated, we
may be permitted to state our opinion
that there is no citizen in the State upon
! ,le.s s..el. d;st;nn.;nn eesld be ,yso-4
worthily conferred than Col. Groome.
He was originally distinguished mem

nottingham, he has co-operated with the
Democracy since the origin Of the "neW
party" lie is gentleman Of fine mind
very effective speaker, and endowed
with many generous qualities which have
made him one of the most popular mer
in the State. We are sure his nomina-
ton would be highly satisfactory and
popular, and think the party would BE-
fortunate if he should consent to take
the leadership in the coming contest. -

The Prices OF FooD. The Philadel

THE PRICES OF FooD. The Philadel-
phia Ledger says:
The year is nearly advanced into sum-
mer and vegetation seems growing lux
uriantly, though little behind, which
few days of sunshine, like Sunday,
will bring up very rapidly. Go into our
markets and we see the stalls supplied
about as literally as usual at this time of
the year with the products of the garden
and with butchers meat; yet, judging
from the prices asked, we would seem to
be on the verge Of starvation. Twenty
cents a pound for beef fit to be eaten,
thirty-seven and half and forty cents
for pound of butter, twenty cents
bunch for common asparagus, and one
cent apiece for spring onions, were the
prevailing prices on Saturday, every
thing else to correspond. There is no
scarcity which warrants such extrava-
CANT prices, and we were pleased to see
that tubs of butter remained untouched,
the people preferring to try the effect Of
hot weather upon that melting article,
since abundant grass has failed to reduce
the price.

ceive a supply Of these most simple, durable,

THE FISHERIES The Washington
Star of Tuesday last says:
Contrary to all expectations the upper
river fisheries arc beginning to revive.
The last few days have produced de-
cided change in the water, which may
be attributed to there being very little
current, so that the fish are again swarm
ing together.
Yesterday, at Hunters Landing, the
OILERS caught between four and FIVE hun
dred shad, and near seven thousand her
ring, on the two tides.
At Skidmore's Landing yesterday, the
men made hauls of 800 shad and 10, 900
herring.
The Stoney Point, Capt. Gibson, on
one tide, hauled 8, 900 shad and 10000
herring, and intends to fish till the mid
die of June. The fish taken were the
best of the season.
The opinions of those who have cut out
already are that they were in too much
of hurry in abandoning the landings ;
and that they would have cleared ex-
penses by remaining for settled weather,
