anxiety at this time as to who is TO receive
from Mr.. Lincoln the small favor of Post
Master AT Rockville. Several gentlemen have
been named for the place. who are very good
worthy citizens, and if the office was vacant
we would have no objection TO either one get
ting the appointment. But as the present in
cumbent Mr. D. H. BouIc, is very accommo-
dating and efficient officer, we do not desire
his removal, TO make room for another The
question is often asked ''why make a change
at all, y we are not prepared to answer it.
Mr.. Lincoln did not receive single vote in
this election district, and we know of no one
among us, who espouscd his cause. Those
who have been mentioned as likely 10 succeed
Mr.. B., voted for Bell, while Mr.. B., voted
for Breckenridge. Now we cannot suppose
that either one of these gentlemen, has init
mated that he is less pro-slayery or Southern
in his feelings than Mr.. b., and is therefore
entitled to office at Mr. Lincoln hands, or
thinks that he can make a more efficient Off
to know, why Mr.. Lincoln is expected to dis
miss a faithful officer who is democrat, and
appoint la'e Know-no,hing, of whose ca..a-
city no one knows anything.

large concourse of people from the surround
ing country assembled at Poolesville, in this
county, to witness the drill and parade of the
military companies of that place. The Caval-

elegantly mounted and handsomely equipped,
brave and chivalric body Of gallant and true
men, who will promptly respond when liber-
~ and justice require protection.
The Infantry, Capt. FLErcHALL, numbering
about forty men, though not in uniform eli
cited much admiration for their great perfec-
ton in tactics and the exactness and precision
with which they executed the varied and diff
6cnlt evolutions.
