ELKTON. NOVEMBER .. 1861.
The Last Mass Meeting in Cecil

On Saturday last the last grand gath
cring together of the people to give one
Eore demonstration of their unwavering
devotion to the Union, took place at
Elkton. Although the dark lowering
clouds of the morning, with slight
sprinkle of rain, portcnded wet day, as
the forenoon wore along the clouds lifted
and the day proved to be mild, calm and
pleasant. just one of those autumnal
days which invites to the open air.
A stand for the speakers had been
erected OH the open lot back of the rail-
road depot, which was decorated with
wreathcs and flowers, woven into beauti-
full garlands by the Union ladies of
Elkton. UNION in large letters was
emb.azoned on the trent of the speakers
stand, under which the portrait of Gen.
Scott, was placed, cncircled with a
wreath of flowers rcd, white, and blue.
The national flag was displayed from a
staff planted in front of the stand, its
bright folds waving directly over the
heads of the audience, while number of
flags were displayed at various points
giving to the whole brig int and animated
appearance.
At an early hour people began to
assemble, creating that stir and hustle
in the street usual on such occasion. An
escort of l5 men under the command of
Col. George r. Howard, one of the
first men of Cecil whose voice was raised
in tones of defiance against the enemies
of the country-werc mounted on gaily
oaparisoncd horses, attended to the
organization, met and escorted the del
egations as they made their appearance.
The first delegation vas seen APP
preaching from North East about ten
o'clock their banners waving in the dis
lance, and Immediately after the delega-
ton from Chesapeake City accompanied
by the Band, made its appearance. The
Elkton Cornct Band, also discoursed the
national airs on that occasion, and the
scene till between twelve and one clock,
was one of life and animation, tho people
pouring in from all quarters, with dec
Grated horses and haun,ing banners.
The first train in the morning from
Baltimore brought up the Hon. Henry
Winter Davis and with the second
arrived the Hon. Edwin II. Webster, of
Hartford, the other speakers who were
invited from distance failing to attend.
The meeting was organized at o'clock
by calling the Hon. Alexander Evans to
the chair, and appointing three Vice
Presidents from each District:

The fleet, when under steam with trans
ports in tow, will make seven knots per hour
ifthc wind is not adverse. Under sail, with
fair wind and good weather, the progress
would be more rapid. The October gales are
now over, and continuous fair weather may
be reasonably expected, so that neither col
lision nor separation of the feet need be
anprchcnlcd.

[UThc following letters from the
distinguished persouages whose names are
attached were received by the Committee
and read at the meeting:
WASHINGTON. d. G. Oct. Is, 'Gl.
GENTLEMEN Il have your letter of
18th instant requesting me " to address
a mass meeting of the unconditional
friends of the Union,' at Elkton on
Saturday the 2Gth instant. l will do so,
if possible but at this time there are
very strong probabilities that may have
gone to the West before that period
am sure, however, that my absence
will not rctard the doom which the
patriotic men of Maryland have in reserve
for Treason in November. With Brad
ford in tue Executive Chair and such a
Legislature as you are sure to elect,
the Pententiary of Maryland will soon be
found more convenient for felons than
the public places in which they are now
reposing at the expense of the Govern
mcnt.
Thanking you for your good opinion,
and wishing you all success in your
efforts to suppress the most infamous
rebellion in the worlds history. | am
very truly, &c,

and making a few remarks, thanked the
crowd for the honor paid him. The
same tribute was cxacted from all, when,
after three hearty cheers had been given
the serenading party dispersed.
This is the last Grand Rally of the
kind which will be held IN Cecil. The
next appeal is to the ballot box, to show
the world that Maryland, as in the days
when Washington led, so are her sons
now loyal to the Stars and Stripes; and
as they tramplcd down the tory spiri.
that manifested itself at that day, so are
they determined to trample it under foot
at the present, let that spirit rise up
under whatever garb it may, either as a
Peace Party, a States Right Party, a
Secession Party, or any other of the
thousand and one names it assumes
The time for talking is we'll nigh past
The people seem to feel that truth,
showing less of the boisterous enthusiasm
which marked their first uprising, they
manifest that more calm, but deep deter
mined purpose, which, often, alter the
ballot box has been once more appealed
to, if need be will apply to the arbiter
of arms, never acknowledging the right
of a State to violate the Constitution of
the United States, and create revo-
luton by the ballot-box. This is a
usurpation that even the majority have
no right to perpetrate, and all such
Secession theories are as inevitably
followed by war and bloodshed as the
shadow follows the substance.

A CHINESE wIZARD-EXTRAORD
JUGGLING EEATS.

A correspondent Of the London Times
gives the following account of the feats
of jugglcr in the streets of Pekin:
s:IIe first Of all spoke for about five
minutes with all the volatility of Charles
Matthews, evidently saying something witty,
for the people round laughed heartily. 10
the middle Of his harangue, however, he
was seized with a fit of choking, and after
an effort Of trying to get something out OF
his thu oat, drew forth little slip Of bam-
boo, like a Lisbon toothpick, then another
aud another. then he sneezed, and out they
came from his nostrls, then from his eyes,
until he completed the number Of thirty
seven. by making one appear halfway out
of each oriice ut the same time. and threw
the lot on the ground for any one TO exam
inc.
lie next took three glass balls, about an
inch in diameter, and placed them s!ngly
between his lips. sucked them into his mouth
and swallowed first red one, then blue,
and last of all a white one; here was little
interude of toothpcks and talking, after
which he walked grave!v round the ring,
stopping four times: each time he gave
himself shake and a jump. when the balls
were distinctly heard to jingle inside OF him:
On completing his round, after several
efforts. be spat the balls out on the ground
/ in the same color he had swallowed them
/ the red first, the white last. lie then took
/ two more balls, one Of polished stee! about
/ the size of hens egg, and another Of glass,
/ the same size. These he first let fall on the
| ground to show they were solid: then placing
/ them between his lips swallowed them like
/ the smaller ones, but with great difficulty,
/ it swelling in the throat as it went down
! here more toothpieks and talking, while he
prepared two swords, about an ineh wide
/ and twenty long, very ike polished hoop
I iron. FLASHED them together to show that
they were real, and passed both down his
! throat at once, until they struck the balls
with an audible click: Withdrawing these be
pIacei his hands behind him, and after sew
era apparently painful trials, each ball rose
/ in his throat. and fell from his mouth to the
ground with heavy thnmp."
