AxITYULLs L. l., Nov g. 1891.
As the effect Of the storm Of Saturday Last, new
inlet is cut through the beach nearly opposite THO
place.
1t is about seven or eight miles west of Fire lsl I'd
Inlet. 1t is said TO be twenty thirty rods wide,
and increasing in width continually. 1t is thought
to contain a depth Of water sufficient for good.
sized vessel to pass through-hrteen feet nearly at
high water. There is a good channel on the Bay
side 10 meet it. 1t is about forty rods east Of one OF
the Government houses, and about twenty rods east
of the place where, it may be remembered, the men
of this place cut canal through the beach few
years since.
We think Of giving it the name Of the a." CpIon
Inlet" in view Of the struggle for the Union:
NIB am told that there is nearly thirteen feel
of water in it at high water, and that the hsh are
finding their way through it rapidly.

The regulation ordering that one-half Of the pay of

New Creek Bridge Burnt.

Yesterday morning tho train westward
bound returned with the news that the rail-
road bridge over the Potomac, near New
Creek, had been burned, and that the citizens
guarding the bridge about 3O) had been
either killed or taken prisoners. The num-
Der of bridge burners was reported to be
about 5000.
Always on his guard, Col. Wallace imme-
diately struck bis tents, and took up a proper
position for battle. Not knowing the num-
Der of the enemy, and anticipating possible
attack from several points, every precaution
was taken to be prepared for any contin-
gency. Our Home Guard promptly assem-
bcd at their armory, and several companies
of volunteers from the neighboring towns
came in during the day, to aid in the defence
of the city. Had an assault been made it
would have been met with bravery. skill and
determination.
During the day all kinds of rumors were
in circulation, but towards evening the miss
ing guards from the bridge returned, report
ing nobody burt" From what We can
learn the number Of men that burnt the
bridge was greatly exaggerated by the watch
man who gave the frst report They no
doubt took advantage IF the absence OF the
Zouaves to burn the bridge, which had been
threatened for some time. 1t is simply an
unnecessary act of vandalism which will be
OF 70 avail.

The Congressional Election.

The heart Of every true Union man has been
made glad by the unmistakable indications
which our gallant little State has given OF
her attachment to the Union and her unlal-
torins determination to sustain the govern
ment
OF the six gentlemen elected to represent
Maryland in the Congress of the United
States. not one is a sccessionst. In every
district where the disunionsts had the temer-
ity to run candidate, their defeat has been
the invariable result. In our own glorious
district the disunionists dared not to put a
man in the field, because they knew, not on
ly they would be defeated, but that it would
bring out the full Union strength and show
them to be in most pitable minority. As
it is, our candidate has pol!cd fully two-thirds
of the district In Baltimore, the defeat of
Mr.. Davis, is attributed to personal uupopu-
larity and not to any want of Union senti-
ment, for Mr.. May is Union man, and is,
we understand, pledged to vote both men and
money to the administration, so that any re-
ioicing of the disuuionsts on account of Mr..
Davis defeat and the election of Mr.. May is
only pretence-the fact is they are utterly
chagrncd at their complete and entire de-

The Mails.

Our readers are aware that the mail iacil-
tiles and all transit over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, from Cumberland to Harper's
Ferry, have been cut off by the bridge burn
ers, for the last two or three weeks. Since
then our mails have been received very irreg-
ularly, and with much delay. To obviate
this difficulty, the Post Office Department Mt
Washington has authorised the Postmaster at
this place to open special mail route from
Cumberland to Hancock. He has according
" contracted with Messrs John Young and
VIM Hext, upon very advantageous terms to
carry the mail, daily, between those two
points, over the old Baltimore turnpike
There is already daily line of coaches ply
ing between Hancocl, and Frederick city
The mail from here to Hancock will be car
ried upon coach with view to the accom-
mediation Of travellers. By this arrangement
we W i'll receive our mail matter from Balti-
more by rail to Frederick, thence by coach,
in little Ices than twenty-four hours This
is slow process, in comparison with the
railroad, but it is the best that we can do I'M
der the circumstances, and is much better
than the present diltary arrangement.

The road men at Martinsburg number
some four hundred, and there are said to

of employment, by the action Of Virginia
and the effects of the war, in the build
ing Of engines. etc.
The turnpike bridge at the mouth of
the Shenandoah is also to be burned.
According to reports, every night some
further demonstration may be expected.

reported as being sufficiently near the

Do the gentlemen composing this body re-

bers of the House, Messrs. Gordon and Bar
