NOTICES..
To the Farmers of MARYLAND.

TNHE undersigned having reason to believe
L that certain commission merchants OF
Baltimore are using old orders of Farmers,
cxempting their grain from inspection under
the law prior to the late amendment, for the
purpose of Withdrawing it from Inspection or
Weighing under the amended law, contrary
to the interest and intention Of the Farmers.
respectfully suggest to the Farmers that
the amended law being for their protection
and reducing the fee for Weighing and In
spect!on to onc-quarter Of a cent per bushe |,
the amount heretofore charged by the unof-
fetal weighers, it is advisable that they
revoke the old orders, written before the
amendment, as the best way to prevent their
being deprived of the benefit of the law so
essential to their security, by con mission
merchants disposed to embarrass its execu-
ton. b. +. MAY,
Inspector General Of Grain.

% Readers ano Correspondents.

EsS"The first page Of The Wing this week
is principally occupied with original com
munications. The article No. /, on the
abolition of Slavery in New Jersey" by
Mrs. lamar Davis, is the first of series of
articles, which we have on hand, by that
we'll known correspondent of The lFMg.-
The articles merit, and will doubtless meet
with: general perusal from our numerous
corps of readers.
Esp Another cores pondcnt also discusses
the subject of negro quality in representa-,
ton in Maryland fruitful theme for all
Mary FLANDERS to ponder. When the subject
Is examined it will be found that those men
who have filled the country with such loud
denunciations of negro equality are the
very men who have been the sole agents in
producing it, in order that they might profit
by plundering the public crib through this
means. Let every honest man examine this
subject for himself, and he can't fail to see
that the chief end and aim of secession is to
reduce the laboring man to an equality with
the negro, while the fortunate wealthy few
representing an aristocrocyO should lift
themselves above the mass of the American
people.
Bay We print two letters, also, on our
first page from army correspondents, which
came too late last week for insertion, The
Wing having gone to press before their
arrival. The letters arc from Capt. Ricketts,
and Capt. Shows companies, and will be
read with interest by the numerous friends
of the volunteers at home. They show our
Cecil boys first experience in actual war
fare.

CIRCULAR.
To the Farmers of MARYLAND.

NTE, the undersigned, State Inspectors Of
w Grain for the City of Baltimore having
entered upon the duties of our office respectfully
beg leave to submit to the special consideration of
the Farmers generally, this our Circular showing
the advantages to be derived by them in submit
ting their Grain for sale under the provisions Of
the Law regulating the Weighing, Inspecting and
Measuring Grain sold in the City Of Baltimore
by ordering Grain inspected, the Farmers will
have the advantage of the inspection gratis; have
their Grain weighed and measuring by sworn
officers, who will be entirely independent and
impartial, and pay no more for the whole than they
usually do for weighing and measuring Grain
when those duties are performed by parties (who
are not sw0rn) provided by the purchaser.
In addition, if Grain is refused TO be taken by
the buyer, under the law, and for amy cause it is
rejec ed, ample provision is made to test the
validity of his conduct.
If the value of the rejected Grain be less than
500 the is to be tried in five days, before ii
Justice of the Peace, and if it exceed that amount
it shall be tried at the first term OF the Court of
Common Pleas. the Superior Court of Bati-
more CITY, and in either event tho seller, if sue
eessful. shall recover double the damage sustained
with the addition of ten per cent for The delay.
If Grain should not be inspected all these gem
erous provisions are lost 10 the Farmer, and he is
left to pursue the ordinary diatory proceedings of
Courts and Justices
The Inspectors make no additional Charge fo,
Inspecting Grain.
Their only charges will be per cent for Weigh
ing, and ! per cent for Measuring; the cost of
weighing, by the recent Act is charge ,bIe to the
purchaser. Should the Farmer desire to waive
the Inspection, provided for under the law, he
can have us (and we claim the right to weigh and
measure his grain
But to promote the general interests of the
Farmer and to sustain n law so long desired by
the people of the State. we respectfully ask that
you direct the Captain who carries, or Agent who
sells to submit all Grain sold for you, to the
Inspection Law
We remain, with highest considerations of
respect your, &c

THIS AFTERNOONS REPORT.
FROM HILTON HEAD.

-. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.
The Hilton Head correspondent Of the
Herald, dated the 29th ult., says:
A refugee from Charleston reports that
Gen. Smith commands there. The rebels
have sent nine infantry and two cavalry
regiments to Richmond, and otherwise de-
pleted their force by large guards on the
Savannah Railroad.
Every one capable of bearing arms is
forced to volunteer in the Southern army.
Two iron-clad rams, similar to the Mer-
rimac, are being constructed at Charles
ton, to destroy the blockaders.
The steamers Herald and Memphis had
arrived from Liverpool with valuable sup
plies, and the steamer Economist was ex-
pected, and had probably reached there, as
large side-wheel rebel steamer ran in
last Friday.
The feet off Charleston has been aug
mented, and it is now thought impossible
for vessels there to get out without cap
ture. The rebel steamer Nashville is COR
nered under rebel eight-gun battery in
Dobay, and with the gun-boats Paul Jones
and Keystone State watching her. The
rebels had appeared pretty strongly oppo-
site Dawforkie, and our troops had left that
island. The rebels burned the wreck of
the steamer Winfield Scott on Wednesday
night. Ere
The French bark Harriet Role which
was taken by our forces while running the
blockade at New Orleans, with cargo of
wines and brandies, arrived to-day under
command of Capt. ConAnt Of the Mass. 8lst
Regiment. She has S3 sick soldiers.

WATERLOO, Va, Aug.

WATERLOO, Va, Aug. z.
Intelligence from Culpepper says that
scouting parties go out daily and OCCASION
ally bring in rebel scouts.
No enemy in force has been discovered
this side of Gordonsville. 1t is supposed
that strong entrenchments are being con-
structed at that place by the rebels. Our
troops are in such high splits and so con-
fident of complete success, that they say
they can defeat whatever rebel forces may
be there collected. Gen. Pope on his way
hither was received with enthusiastic
cheers by our troops whom he reviewed,
omplimenting them on their splendid ap-
pearance and the perfection of their drill.
Desertion has been much checked within
the last few days by the stringent orders
Of Gen. Pope. Several deserters having
been found guilty, are sentenced to be
branded and drummed out of the army
At present all is quiet in front Of us.

Worlds dispatch:
Ex-GOv. Dennison, Gen. Bates, Repre-
sentative Curly and Larz Anderson, all of
Ohio; arrived here this morning at the re-
quest Of Gov. Tod, and had long inter
view with the Secretary of War, the Pres
ident and Gen. Halleck regarding military
interests in Southern Ohio, together with
those Of Kentucky, which ended most sat
isfaetorily, and it is probable that all the
committee came after was accomplished.
To night they had an important interview
with Gen. Haileck during which he alluded
TO the negro question and said that he was
now, and always had been, in favor of
using negroes within the military lines
OF conhseatlng all sIaVes anu UUuvI 'PrUIJvfl
ty of rebels IN arms. In addition he said
that Gen. Mcclellan had been instructed
to use all negroes coming within his lines
and to compensate those who were free but
to employ all without reference to their
status. The order on employing negroes
will probably be soon issued by Gen. Hal
leck.

NAVAL BATTLE ExpECTED.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.
The Times Potomac Army correspond
ent dated July S1st, states that two suspi-
cious rebel craft, probably the Merrinao
and Young America, cast anchor yester-
day noon off Turkey Bend. Several of our
gunboats were Immediately sent to that
vicinity, the Monitor making a reconnois-
ance, after which the gunboat feet, includ-
ing the Galena, Monitor and others, were
ordered in line of battle off Light House
Point.
A balloon and gunboat reconnaissance,
above and near Fort POwhattan, discovered
no rebels or earthworks in that vicinity.
A branch railroad has been discovered
from the banks of the James River, oppo-
site Berkley's Landing, to Petersburg.
NINE P. M.-The position of the feet is
unchanged. Rebel rams are still off Tur-
key Bend. ....
How near we are to naval battle every
one can judge for themselves.
