LOCAL AFFAIRS.
COURT,-Court adjourned on Wcdne

CoURT.-Court adjourned on Wcdnes-
day last to meet again on the 4th of Dccem
Der. Being an adjourned term, the same
jury will serve. The Peace jury Of the pre-
sent term has been the theme of remark on
all sides. 1t is said the Union men Of this
jury scarcely number half dozen. When
parties were nearly balanced there never
was such a one sided selection of jurymen
made. And now, when this new Peace
Party numbers about one-third of the voters
of the county to have such bouquet Of
secession blossoms thrust under the nose
of the people of Cecil, is such a stretch of
political favoritism as has never been wit
messed even in high party times. But this
climate is too cold for secession, and by
collecting rs large a bunch as possible
together little warmth and vitality, per
haps were impaired to the shrinking, SILVER
ing cause. This was about the largest meet
ing of scccsSioniss that We have ever heard
/ of being held in the county outside Of dis
trict gathering.
