W Bayard Taylor who has been en-
gagged by the Tie Nem York Mercury to write
exclusively for its COLLINS except editorial
contributions to the The Tritune1 is now
furnishing it with series of Sketches of
Travel, consisting Of the minor, but not the
least interesting, incidents Of his adventurous
life. From the last number we copy the fol
lowing paragraphs, which leads him along
through part Of this county:
The fist fifteen mil led through lovely
region of farms and villageS-a country of
richer and more gardcn-liie beauty than any
which can be seen this side of England. The
mi-tropica summer of Southern Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia had just fairly opened in
its prodigal splendor. lledgc-rows of black
and white thorn lined the road fields were
covered, as with purple mist, hy the bios
SONS Of the clover; and the tall tulp-trees
sparkled with metcoric showers OF godr II stars.
June, in this latitude, is as gorgeous as the
Indian Isles As the hills, however, begin to
snbsidc toward Chesapeake Bay, the scenery
changes. The soil becomes more thin and
sandy; the pine and the rough-barked per-
simmon supplant the oak and elm thicllcts of
awpaw-our northern banana-and chin
c"pin "a shrub variety of the chestnuD appear
in the warm hollows and barren tracts covered
with kind of scrub-oak, called ssblack .jack'
along the eastern shore, thrust themselves be-
tween the cultivated farms. Mason and Dix
on's line seems here to mark the boundary
between different zones of vegetation. The
last northern elm waves its arms to the first
southern cypress.

ELKTON, APRIL 80, 1859.

--There are manifest signs Of a
shaking in the knees of locofOism in this
state. Their papers are complaining that
"party ties are loosened and party lines
nearly obliterated;' some of them are
proposing as locofoco candidates, men
who have been standing, these few years,
Independent Of party, in the effort to
g ring them i'll - it is formally promul-
ged in this county that " Indifferent cam
didates" are sure Of defeat--and every
locofoco man in the county is warned not
"to thrust himself forward as candi-
date in the next canvass" The old Cry
that the tvillanious, traitorous, pcrjured
Know Nothings so they called the
American party of Cccil--was disbanded
and broken to pieces, is not now the
watchword. There is no shout that
"Sam is dead !"-no such boastings are
in the wind, but g suggestions " Of eau
liOu are 'iHioNl tossttcthcl anu 'CuiiIiil'S
men" are treated to careful word Of
caution.
These shaking locofocos have
tackled with the wrong wind and the
wrong tide. The adage doth not have
it that rats 50 to the sinking ship but
that they leave it; and in this respect
men have equal instinct it is not just
the hour to call outsiders to the sinking
old hulk Of locofoism; even ssparty ties
fail to bind old party men to it any Ion
ger; and they are escaping for their
lives.
We have no suggestions to make to
the American Party of Cecil it is the
the peoples party; it is the party that
has Ike interests of the people at stake
and it will be sure to put forth candidates
worthy Of the peoples confidence and
certain to receive the peoples votes.

THE FIRE ENGINE.-An g iteu,zrr,,
has handed in the following on the fire engine
question:
The new d" squirt was ridden up in gallant
style on Monday last, amid applause from the
crowd and stentorian vociicrations from the
fire company. 1t looked very black in some
places and very brassy IN Others and, again,
the handles were a,dingy white. &c FciIunt"
was painted on it in two places and "JoAn
Rodgers' in one, which made most people
think it was = the vigilant John Rodgers -
certainly a very appropriate one if the cele-
bratcd John was intented to be honorcd and
his name pcrpetuated by it. The company
paraded it out around Town and afterwards
gave specimen Of its powers at the Court
House. The old engine was, however, too
much for it, and after a laundering deal of
cheering on both sides, loud talk and talk about
blows, this opinion seemed to prevail. Ncv-
ertheless the new engine is regular suction
which will drain the water out Of Elk Creek
and it threw over any house in Town. The
members paid $3.50 for it. The Company is
well organized and we all ouaht to rest salts
