HE MARsH.-Strangers visiting
Eikton are apt to conclude that the marsh on
the. South of the town must render the place
unhealthy. But such is not the case. There
is no healthier town on the Eastern Shore,
or in the State, we believe, than Elkton. At
one time Gen. Sewall damned off the water
and put the marsh under cultivation, in con-
sequence OF which, it is said, fever shortly
broke out, and the doctors had visions OF
numerous patients and lengthy fee bills
The musk-raIs, however, soon made sad havoc
with the Generals levees, and the tide poured
IN, as formerly. Since then no attempt has
been made to repair the levees, and the
marsh is overlooked twice daily. That our
town is not improved by its proximity to the
marsh we are willing to admit, but in the
spring when the tussocks arc green the marsh
is pleasant sight, and in the sultry Summer
evenings when all alame with fire-hies, it is
surprisingly beautiful, There is music in it
too. And the man &c moved by concord OF
sweet sounds" can pass many pleasant
hour listening to the snll-frog's dcep'bassoon,
or the shrill chrp of the cricket and katydid
as they hide among the bushes and pour fortl,
their evening songs. But to the sportsman il
is doubiy attractive when the wild rice in
which il abounds, is ripe, the reed birds and
rail frequent it by thousands, and all day long
the sharp report of guns can be heard as the
gunners glide in boats through the numerous
channels among the reeds, and knock down
and bag these favorite birds. Truly the
marsh is one Of the Institutions Of Elktou.

standing the reverse of the Federal arms, the
Union feeling in Elk Neck is stronger than
ever, and never has there been lirmer
determination to adhere to tho old Flag than
at the present time.
No sooner did the rows of our disaster
arrive than our scccSSionists showed the
cloven hoof by coming out openly, and rejoic-
ing at the news, but before many days they
will be scarce in this community that.
ile Union men here are alive to the cause.
and will be out to the man, at the primary
meetings, and on election day. And of this
rest assured We will not touch any but
straight out Union men. We want no States
Rights gentry-no peace party foks-no
Anti Coercion Union men. The Union and
nothing but the Union is with us the only
test Of political orthodoxy.
