EXECUTIVE ApPoINrMEsrs.-The President
has made the following appointments:
Dudley Carles, of Louisiana, consul at Dub
lin. .-'. s..- .". @.
John q. Charles, Of Iowa, Indian agent for
the Upper Missouri agency. ,......
Edwin Cowles, postmaster at Cleveland,
Ohio.
p6T Our subscribers must excuse the very
poor paper upon which we print this number.
1t is the best we can get, indeed all we can get,
for the present.
p6r Letters and dispatches rom Norfolk,
state the arrival there on Tuesday of Georgia
troops, one thousand, or more, in number. No
statement of such troops having left Georgia
has attracted our attention. If they have ar
rived at Norfolk, the secret of their movement
was well kept.
p6r Three families came in yesterday from
Maryland, on the Rockville road, who were not
allowed one single day to prepare for their de.
partare, by the secessionists. The arrivals Of
the same kind from Virginia were also numer'
Gus yesterday. These outrages will not be
long tolerated.
BeB- Sixteen Maryland slaves came up in a
skiH to Chester county, Pa, last Sunday.
p@- The Baltimore Republican excaims,
piteously, that there seems to be no hope left
for the preservation Of peace" That depends
upon the question, whether incendiary sheets,
like the Republican, have the power much
longer to stimulate foolish people to make war
upon the Government.
b6r The warning we gave to Virginia, that
her acts of piracy in seizing merchantmen law
fully within her waters, might subject her to
retaliatory reprisals produced just the effect
we designed and anticipated, in Gov. Letcher's
proclamation of the oath instant, ordering the
release Of the vessels seized. He still holds on
to two steamers, the jamestown and Yorktown,
but they can be Of no use to him. as james
river is Theoretically sealed by Fortress Monroe.
D2r Those who are not in the habit of read
ing Southern newspapers, can have no concep
ton Of their capacity for lying. Their policy
is to keep the masses in such condition OF
ignorance and misconception, that they may
rule them and use them at their pleasure and
for their own purposes.
. DI- Washington Bonnifaut, Esq, the newly.
appointed marshal of the city Of Baltimore, has
not resigned, as has been reported; though, Of
course, it will be impossible for him to perform
the duties Of that office so long as the city shall
continue under mob law.
Ha5A A train with mails and passengers left
Baltimore for Washington on Thursday noon.
Upon arriving at Jessups Run, just beyond
Annapolis Junction, and seeing it lined with
national troops, the train returned to Baltimore.
1t need not have done so, as it had started with
the permission Of Gen. Scott. The national
troops at and about the Annapolis junction,
although prepared to resist the passage Of hos,
tile forces, would not have interiered with the
train referred to.
BH- Foraging parties in Virginia, at any
rate, in the region Immediately opposite this
city, take grain, horses, cattle, &c., from the
farmers, giving receipts in the name OF the
State, but not specifying the value of the prop
erty so taken. They took from Mr.. Wander,
werken's farm, horses, three hundred and ten
bushels of oats, &C., &c. They took poor
widows only horse.
pJ- 1t is reported by the captain Of the
Georgiauna, arrived at Baltimore on Thurs
day, that schooner from New York, bound to
Richmond, was brought TO by the guns of
Fortress Monroe, and captured. Nothing seems
to be allowed to pass that glorious old national
fort, without being rigidly scrutinized. How
long President Lincoln will allow anything to
pass it, at all, is not yet known.
p0r The Petersburg Express of Wednesday
estimates the Virginia troops at Richmond at
500, and at Harper's Ferry at 1000. The
