 How there can be any heistation on the part of any member of the Senate to expel Bright from their midst after such an exhibition of treachery as his letter to Davis makes, will pug gle ordinary minds. He wrote thus:
 WASHINGTON, March l, 1861.
 My DEAR SIR: Allow me to introduce to your acquaintance my friend Thomas B. Lincoln of Texas. He visits your Capital, mainly to dis pose of what he regards great Improvement in tre-arms. I commend him to your favorable consideration as gentleman of the first respec- tability, and reliable in evsry respect,
 Very truly yours, JESSE D. BRIGHT. 10 Ills Exceilency, Jefferson Davis, President
 Of the Confederate States.
 Here the arch rebel is addressed as President oi ah established government, residing in his Capital" and friend of Bright is introduced to him as "reliable'' who wishes to dispose of an improvement in fre-erms.'
 story has gained currency that Gen. schoeif hrst had helping hand extended to him, and was raised from menial position by MT.

He was soon after put in the Coast Survey ohee at Washington and thence otoe nat Was there that he became known to Mr. Holt.

County Levy, 1862.

N compliance with the provision of Section
Il 9 OF Article % of the Code of Public
General Laws of Maryland, the following
statement Of the levy for 1862, to meet the
current expenses of the County for that year,
is herewith submitted and published by the
direction of the County Commissioners of
Allegany County:
The whole levy amounts to the aggregate
sum Of S36, 754. &c, for the payment Of which
forty cents in each hundred dollars. upou the
assessed property in said County, were levied,
which assessment amounts TO So, 938, 740 for
the present year, exceeding that Of the last
year !S373, 77G. The assessment stands at a
higher figure now thar at any provious time
since the general assessment of 1862. This
large increase is the result Of much pains and
labor on the part Of the Commissioners, in
putting upon the County books property aud
persons heretofore unaescssed. 1t is proper
TO state that S5S, 0CO OF the above was re-
turned by the late Collector. 1t vii. be seen
that State and County tax OF S2,429 will
be thus secured not before realized.
The per centage for 1862 exceeds that Of
the previous year six cents in the hundred
dollars for the County tax. This increase is
owing to the insufficient levies Of 1861, and
particularly those for the roads, which in
connection with several froshet5 within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
'evies for that purpose absolutely necessary.
The amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts TO 81 400; for 1861 it
WAS only S2,S47; s 800 were levied for the
use Of the City Of Cumberland in accordance
with long established usage, but this levy
was withheld from tho city for the last year
or two. Had tho latter levy been refused,

DEAR GATE: Isend you the following
which your readers have seen, but which
many of them may have forgotten.
Long after the victories of Washing
ton over the French and English had
made his name familiar to ali Europe,
DIR. Franklin CHANGED to dine with the
English and French ambasssd ors, when
the following .oasts were drank:
"ESGLAxD--The Sun, whose bright
beams enlighten aud fructify the reno
test corners of the earth"
The French ambassador, too polite to
dispute the previous toast, drank the fol-
lowing:
FRANCE - The Moon, whose mild.
steady and cheering rays are the delight
OF all nations, consoling them in darkness
and making their dreariness beautiful"
DR.. FRANKLIN then arose, and with his
usual gracefulness, said:
GEORGE WAsnINcros-Th Joshua.
who commanded the sun and moon 10
stand still, and they obeyea him"
Perhaps the same hearenly bodies may
be obliged to stand still second time by
command of Honest Abe. Nous verrons.
