INTERESTING FROM HARPER's Ferry
The correspondent of the Alexandria. IVA
Gazette writes MAY 49, as folows:-
"The force stationed at the Point of Rocks
has been strengthened, and battery erected
there similar in character to the famous Cum
mings battery at Charleston. More troops
have also been sent to Shepherdstown, and a
battery erected there. The heights in the
neighborhood are now all occupied, the bridges
well defended, and scouting parties are trav

day about forty of the members of the Mary
land legislature visited this place. The special
object OF this visit is not precisely know n.
Many supposed that they came here to protest
against the seizure of the Maryland heights
by the Virginia troops, but the political com.
plexion of the delegation forbids such an infer

The devils facility at quoting scripture is
traditional. When he has a peculiarly bad
cause in hand he will torture the best Of texts
to his use; or, in the words OF the honest
Scotch woman, eff there's ane ill text in a the
Bible that creetur's sure to taxi it" 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that scripture reading
rebels should invade that inexhaustibe armory
OF truth for selt-defensive weapons. The latest
application was made, the other day, by the
venerable bishop Meade, at the convention of
the protestant Episcopal church of the diocese
of Virginia. The incident which suggested
the text was this When Israel and Judah
separated, and Judah had the city and temple
in possession, and the supremacy was pre-
pairing to 60 up against the former, to reduce
the people to submission and bring them back
to union, the Lord himself came down and
forbade it, saying Thou shalt not go up, nor

Mr. Editor Tile depression of business
which now exists, owing to the state of the
country, and is likely to continue for some
time, has thrown very many laboring people
out of employment. Now, as a feasible plan
for aiding such persons, an appeal is made to
the farmers and all land owners to furnish gra-
tuitously, 10 all such persons who are willing
to work, small patch OF land, say one acre
or even half acre, with the use of a team to
pillow it, and let them use it to raise potatoes
or such other vegetables as they may choose,
for the benefit Of their families.
The farmers of Worcester are always mag
unanimous, and when they see an object of
public benefit fairly presented, are never a whit
behind any other class of their fellow citizens
in generosity and public spirit. When they
consider the importance OF this subject, not
only to the unemployed but to themselves and
the whole community, they will, doubtless.
with alacrity embrace this opportunity OF do,
ing so much good to the multitudes who are,
and are likely TO be, for some time, otherwise
unemployed
Such measure, if it can he carried out,
will not only prevent great deal OF destitu-
ton and suffering, but will save much public
expense, and contribute to the maintenance
ofmoralty. 1t is hoped our brother farmers
will Immediately take this matter into con-
sideration, and each one of them furnish this
small gratuity of patch of ground for poor
man TO cultivate. flour agricultural brethren
will do this much, Others who have no land or
employments to give, will freely furnish the
means to purchase all the seed necessary to
hands Of every man who will improve the
land thus offered w

The Town APPROPRIATIONS The legis-
lature has not yet taken final action on the
subject of aiding the families of volunteers
The special committee having the SUBJECT oe-
fore them have given to it most careful con-
sideration, and decided upon bill which was
to be reported at the session, yesterday
afternoon. The bill provides that towns and
cities may make appropriations for the relief
of the families of volunteers and those de
pendant upon them, and legalizes the con-
tracts already entered into by the towns for
that purpose. OF the expenses thus incurred,
it is proposed that the state shall reimburse
To the local authorities one dollar week to
the wife, parent, brother, sister, Or other per
son dependent upon the absent volunteers. 1t
also grants to the authorities OF towns and
cities power to organize an armed police, in
case of an expected attack or invasion. 9th
er suggestions were strongly urged, without
receiving the sanction OF a majority OF the
committee, but which may prevail before the
full body.
