Georgetown Correspondence.

GEORGETOWN, FEB. 8, 1861.
A fine spirited company has been organized
in Rockville, Nd, under the title of The
Rockville Rangers" numbering about eighty
men, with the following officers, viz: Captain,
Bonic; First Lieutenant, Thomas Bailey; Sec.
ond Lieutenant, John Spates Third Leuten
ant, John Wilson-an Infantry company, and
whose motto is "the Union," all being strict
Union men.
Our Union delegates are to meet again to-
night for the purpose of nominating ticket
for Aldermen and Common Council. Their op'
ponents also hold their precinct meetings to-
night for the purpose OF choosing delegates,
who are to make their nominations also.
l am very glad to observe that our citizens
have strong disposition to do away with that
secession sheet, the Baltimore San, and rid
themselves Of its political contamination, by
giving their patronage to papers of more char
acter and reliability, and substituting for it
mostly the National Republican and the Balti.
more american. The latter see it stated,
has more than doubled its subscription list
since the date at which the Sun began its trai.
torous subserviency to the plotting schemers of
Cottondom, and exhibited fixed purpose to
save the good old State of Maryland from the
delusions, intrigues, and dictation of the seces'
oionists.
