From occasional Corresp ondent'
Brick NESTING HOUSE, Md, June "a
Mr.. EDIToR;-
In such time as this it becomes
necessary that the people should know what is
doing politically in every place Of Importance. =
Here the majority Of the people are loyal to the
Union, notwithstanding the sympathy JEFF Davis
has EXPRESSED in reference to our State. You
know by our last election how the people Of
MARYLAND stand $4,000 majority for the Union,
and still our legislature is anxious TO recognise
the Southern Conlederacy. Now who is 50 much
in need of intellect as to admit for moment
TINT the people Of Maryland will submit to an
ordinance Of secession going into force, no
matter what our legislature or the people in the
lower part of the State may doY Cecil County
stands firm in defence Of our country flag. We
have some few in our neighborhood who are trail
tors at heart, and good citizens watch them close
~ they nre Staying themselves with their own
weapons in the estimation Of our worthy people.
We are content with the course Of our present
administration and will stand with the Inst in
! support Of the Constitution and the enforcement
of the laws We prefer yielding up our live
and our fortunes 10 defence Of that great md
glorious principle, rather than abandon our in
dependence and our good government We do
not shy as much as we feel our hearts are fixed
and no secession Inducements can change us.

formal manner with patriotic speaking, sing

tory to those who were present, although VIZ
have had opposition on the part of some traitors
! We have raised military COMPANY at our village
numbering over forty who have sworn alleganc,
to the United States. We meet every Saturday
evening, and parade through our village headed
by martial music, and commanded by Capt II
l.. Guy, an iutelligen. ind industrious master
wheelwrght Of this place. Tue company II
composed of healthy, able bodied men and pre-
sent quite a respectable appearance. The com
pauy will be known as the Cecil GTdys, and will
act within the bounds of Cecil County, unles
needed elsewhere. We have our own music, ant
money enough subscribed to purchase our mi
forms, but are yet deficient in arms, which "
hope to obtain soon as needed.
Business appears quite lively in our village O.

Last week q party of twenty-fOur privates,
detailed from Companies D and Z, under the
lead Of Captain Green, with Lieuteuants Smith
ers and Nields, started up the river in an old
scow, for the purpose of presenting their re-
spects to Captain WIN. G. Burk, who it was be-
lieved had in his possession sundry pistols be-
longing to the United States, and which he con-
tunaciously refused to give up. The wind and
tide being favorable aud the progress of the
scow being further aided by long poles in the
hands of the men, the party soon made the land

their course, commenced their march, After :

TRANSPORTATION OF TROOPS

Since the 18th of April last, the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Rail Road Company
have carried over their road about $1,000
troops, including all the necessary munitions,
equipments, SC, without any unnecessary de-
tention, and without a single accident of any
kind for which the road is responsible. There
is no better managed road in this country
whether we view ii in the light of safety, speed,
economy, facility or gentilty of its employees
In rejecting upon this fact, we do not much
wonder that the efforts of rival companies ART
directed towards the injury of road bearing
such an envinble reputation,

Six months ago, no city in the Union had more
brilliant prospects than St Louis Situated in
the centre of vast and populous country, whose
fertility is unsurpassed on tho green earth, her
wharves washed by the waters of the mightiest
river that the sun in its dniy round, shines upon;
bearing upon it's broad bosom the commerce of
half world, to pile it, in rich profusion, upon
her lap; stretching forth in every direction her
railroads like vast arms, reaching for the pro-
duets Of the valley of the Mississippi, which she
drew to herself in such magical prOfusiOn; un-
furling to the air the smoky banners of her count
less factories aud machine shops; the world
looked on her rise with admiration, and thou
sands ilocked in to share, while they added to
her prosperity. A ceaseless tide of humanity
architecture in her streets, business of every
kind was active, and everything pointed to her
as the metropolis of the mighty West.
But behold her now. She wakes up with hor
ror to find herself the victim OF retributve jus
tice, She has sold herself to traitors, and thu
bolt she launched against the Federal Govern
ment, has pierced her own yilals. The ruin he
traitorous citizens had plotted for the cOuntr,
falls upon her like an Alpine avalanche. Tn
l. tide Of prosperity which was waiting her on h
e greatness, has rolled back a hundred years.
