Az it had been publicly proclaimed that Mr. Winter
Davis would be elected to Congress- just as he had
been nominated without the aid of Republican votes,
thought it due TO seespect not to press mine upon
him, particularly after his rery complimentary letter
about my correspondence, aud l availed myself OF
the occasion OF the election to pay flying visit 10
Annapolis and leave the field clear as far as should
be concerned. On Wednesday afternoon | took the
2i5 train for Washington, and on my arrival at The
Relay House, had a cordial shake Of the hand with
Col Jones of the Massachusetts Sixth, from whom
got the ist intelligence Of Gen. Buffers official ac
CONT Of the Bethel affair. Gov. Hicks got into the
train at this point his way from Frederick City to
Annapolis to east his vote for Charles b. Calvert.

stopped at the Annapolis junction, where I re-
NAMED over two hours waiting for the O'Clock
Washington train, and passed the time most agreea-
bly, in conversation with Gov Hicks, whom had
never met before, and with Col. Pratt, Capt Van
Buren,, and other officers Of the regiment. Col Pratt
presented Gov Hicks to the regiment at the evening

and they gave BIN six cheers, with will and zeal,
that made the woods by ring for joy with ther
echoes.
Col Pratts command is in good health and fine
spirits. The country people look upon the soldiers as
their protectors from the violence Of the secessionis'
who still abound in that region, but whose ntemper-
anee is kept down by the presence OF the Federal
power. Treason is TINS made TO hide ts head, but 1t

Annapolis is much more OF grove than il was IS
years ago, wien first visited it, Many fine private
dwellings have gone mp but the establishment Of the
Naval School appears to have been the great event in
the modern life of the town. Its grounds and buildings
IRE certainly picturesque than any place othe kind
in the country. Viewed from the dome Of the State
House, built in 1884, Annapolis lies upon fln-shaped
peninsula whose sides washed by serpentine nles
from the Severn and Bay, while the Naval School COM
