THIEF on THE CRoss-NEw York "SUNDAY
re printed, as the production of its editor, an ar
ticc of ours entitled " Voice of q Fallen Mon
arch, )" anddescriptive of the Calaveras Big Tree.
1t is detected in the theft by our genius gifted
friend of the Marysville Democrat. Stealing from
California papers is by no means uncommon with
the watery blooded, stultiGed lazaroni who cke
out miserable existence in Atlantic printing Of
fees for four or five dollars q week. The 1Hds
however, has some pretcnsion, and its editor is
probably paid better-much more, we fear, than
he is worth, for stealcr who works for nothing
is the most expensive half If he would thus
steal the brain productions of one whose chas-
tisemcnt he expected to escape, he would fob the
uncounted change of his employer. If he would
carry oar article home and read it to his wife, as
his own production, he wouldn't hesitate to use
her old love letters to circumvent the chastity Of
her cookmad The miserable plagiarist knows
that he could not write that stolen article in
century of moons he is conscious that he has
but little intellectual strength to thank God for,
or he would not have invoked the devil to pro-
tect him in theft. lie knows that a newspaper
thief is the meancst Of all malelactors, and that
the unnatural worm that should feed upon his
carcass would be expelled from the reptile repub-
lie of the sepnlchre. viii not some New York
artist send us his picture We'll give ten dollars
for it, though we have one which we suspect may
be the picture desired it was taken from a San
Quentin prisoner by the chaplain,-thc villain
said it was likeness of his partner in New York,
and that he never could learn the Lords Prayer
while it was about his cell. The face resembles
that Of Pontius Pilates Secretary going home
from the crucifxion-a trne more hang dogish.
1t is doubtful whether he can get another so dia-
bolcally base in expression, for no respectable
artist could accustom himself TO the atmosphere
defled by a newspaper thief without stealing his
own tools, turning States evidence against, and
hanging himself.

WarVland Affairs.

RAILROAD ON THE EASTERN SHoRE.-The
citizens of Somerset county, Nd, are anxious
for an extension of the Delaware RalroDd 10
Salisbury, in that county. A few days ago
they held a large meeting, which was addressed
by Dr. Cathel Humphreys and the Hon. John
w. Crsield, after which stock book was
opened on the spot and a number Of shares SUBJ
scrbed. Mr.. E. q. Sewell, Jr., Of Phladel-
phia, in letter to the meeting, says:
The survey lately made shows the distance
from the present terminus of the Delaware
Railroad at Seaford, to a suitable point for de.
pot at Salisbury, to be less than l0a miles, pro-
bably, in location, but small fraction more
than 10. OF this, about thirteen miles are in
Delaware, aud less than six and half in
Maryland. From what have already seen, [
am of opinion that the Delaware Railroad and
Eastern Shore Railroad can be opened to Sails
bury for regular freight and passenger business
for two huRdred thousand dollars. ($S20O, ,000)-
10 be expended, say SI35, 600 in Delaware, and
S65, ,U00 in Marylund. In this DO not include
land damages, OF any such.
CRops IN KENT AND QUEEN ANNE's, &C.
Editor of Cecil Wing: Having had occasion
TO travel through Kent and Queen Anne's once
month during the past season, have had an
opportunity OF giving some estimate of the
crops in these two counties From what saw
and learned from good farmers in Kent, the
corn is put duwd as half a crop; also, the wheat
about halfa crop throughout the county, and
the oats halfa crop. Your readers are aware
of the cause of this failure; the droulhs of the
last seusGn.
Queen Annes has suffered more from the
same cuuse the wheat was an entire failure in
parts of this country; the fly entirely destroy
| inc some fields, some farmers scarcely getting
their seed. should think one eighth of
crop, would be a fair estimate. Ii is something
remar rkabe that the corn in this country will
make about half crop, as they had no rain OF
any account from the lst of June until the mid
die of September. Oats is not more than one
third of a crop.
MIR. Geo. Vickers. of Chestertown, sold fout
firms at Church Hill, on the 10th inst, they
sold very low; price from $40 to s2l per acre.
This is the place to buy cheap farms. This
county is improving very fast the last year or
two; the use of lime in Kent and Queen Anne S
has had a wonderful effect on the crops.
The Messrs Morton and Martin are now
planting some 10000 peach trees on the Round
Top property lying on Chester River, p miles
above Chestertown. This number of trees
will occupy about 800 acres of land. More OF
their nelghbors would plant peach orchards il
the trees could be obtained.
Fun SPoMED.-A young gentleman was
/, married, few days ago, at Sandy Hill. where
/ upon some of the lads of the neighborhood re-
, paired to the house of the brides father TO SER
, enade them Ia caluhumpian. The bride
groom, how ever, not liking such sport, made q
: descent among them with club. and thus oc
casioned sudden desire to see their mammas
which was generally improved instaHter. 81

A Widows Fidelity.

Burleigh," of the Boston Journal, states
that Mrs. Goodman, the wife of the eloquent
Methodist clergyman who was lost in the Presi-
dent, has never gwen uasso idea that he is
safe and will vet come home. II is now Is
years since the President went down, but her
faith in his ultimate return has never been sha-
ken. His plate is regularly set at the table,
his chair awaits his coming, aud the ringing OF
the door bell rouses the flush to her cheek, aud
each step on the outside seems TO say the long
absent one has come home. Those years OF
nental anguish, who can tell the woe crowded
into them who can lathom the sorrow OF that
hope so long deferred! Bat it presents q
bright view OF the happiness of that home III
other days, from which the husband and father
has bOeE SO long away.

married her and removed to Ohio. He
returned to this vicinity a few weeks
since, and had commenced getting up a
business directory of Washington. The
Deylins have never forgiven him the
wrong done their sister, and have of
ten threatened that they would sooner
or later be revenged upon him. They
had also warned him never to come near
their mothers house.
When they found him there yesterday
afternoon they at once attacked him.
He retreated into the yard, and they
followed him, accompanied by another
man. The elder brother (John T. Dew
lin caught him, threw him down, and
held him fast, until the younger struck
several fatal blows with dirk-knife at his
heart, causing almost instant death The
affair caused a great excitement on Cap
itol Hill, and it was at one time thought
that Judge Lynch would open his court
for the summary punishment of the cul-
prits.

Later from the Utah Army.

Advices from the Utah Nieut. Col.
Johnson's) army to the 10th of Febru-
airy have been received The health Of
the army was good. and the march upon
Salt Lake would probably commence on
the Goth of May. Several hundred re-
cruits had arrived at Fort Leavenworth
previous to the 29th of March. Prepa-
rations were making at the latter place
for the early forwarding Of reinforce
ments. Col. Johnston's supplies would
not last longer than May, but there were
at Fort Scott four months supplies for
5000 men, and train would be dis
patched from that point to Fort Laramie
Immediately.
1t was supposed that Captain Marcy,
with his mules and escort from New
Mexico, and Russell and Major, with an
ox-team of lis wagons would soon reach
Fert Bridger. Gel. Johnston does net
propose to enter Salt Lake City via Echo
Canon, but will make detour to the
north. The opinion is entertained that
the Mormons will adopt guerilla mode
of warfare, and that it will take couple
Of years to subdue them. One great
difficulty relating to the occupation of
Salt Lake city by our troops lies in the
fact that all army supplies must come
from the States.
The above is taken from the N. Y.
Herald. The Washington Star says 4
Mr.. VIM. Gcrrish, who left Camp
Scott on the 18th of February, has ar
rived in this city, and reports the army
we'll, and with provisions to last until
June LIST, at thirteen ounce rations. He
encountered little snow in his journey.
He met Col Hoffman's command--two
companies of cavalry and two of infant
ry--at Big Blue river, 145 miles on their
route, in good condition and making good
time. Roads we're excellent and more
grass than in May Of last year.
Major Lyndc proposed to start pro-
vision train of 125 wagons on the goth
of March, from Laramie, with an escort
of four companies of infantry.
ST. LOUIS, April Dates to the LIST
of March. Col Johnston had an effect
i've force of 1900 men, and 1000 ami
mails in good condition, with large vol
unteer force, and the general impression
was that he would not await reinforce
ments before making the attack.
There is nothing known of the Nor
mon preparations.
