LETTER FROM PERRYVILLE.

Affairs are quiet in and around Pcrryyillc,
and have been for several weeks; owing in a
great measure to the incl"muncy of the
weather. Nevertheless the different Brigadcs
are making every preparation to make a for
ward movement at a moments notice.
There are now here. through the untiring
energies and superior business qualifications
Of Capt Sawtcle, upwards Of twelve hundred
four and six mule teams ready far service,
besides upwards of foIr hundred and fifty
which have been transferred to the Quarter.
masters at Washington and Annapolis One
would suppose it almost impossible that such
a number Of teams could be broken since the
establishment Of this Department. But it is
a fact.
The most active movements which have
taken place here for some time past has been
The movement Of n great quantity of lumber
from Fort Deposit, for the purpose of bnld-
ing stabling for the stock. And indeed am
sorry to say much as Port has been blown as
lumber market, it is with difficulty that
Government can procure enough lumber to
shelter the animals. This speaks bad for
Port The quality OF some of the lumber
is perfectly horrible as hear a great man,
complaints from the builders OF the stables,
and indeed see it is very poor. In a short
time, perhaps before the issue of your paper
tne worthy jacks Will be STABBED.
The supply of forage has been greatly
decreased but there seems to be no scarcity of
it in the land as it still keeps coming
We have glorious supply Of mud and it
is really amusing and at the same time rather
heart rending to see the little long cared
mules falling down and plunging through it.
don't know when any thing has amused me
moro than the other day to see team stalled
with two mules down and almost buried in
the mire. And the driver after apparently
having eXerted every effort TO rescue his
charge, called for help which was unhceded
jumped upon the saddle mulc and commenced
singing to tho time Of Gidcon's Band:
Oh Perryville is the place for mules,
Oh Perryville's the place for mules,
Oh Perryvilla's the place for mules,
But the people here are all id fools.

The Union club is in a fourishing condi-
ton. Mr.. A. B. Eusis, the late President,
having retired from the service. is super
seeded by the late Wise, Mr.. W. II. Trlnnick,
of Philadelphia, whose scat is now filed by
Mr.. A. Alexander, of Mass. The Club, l
understand, has lost a very worthy member,
Mr.. f. G. Tounsand, late issuing clerk Of the
Csmmis sarics' Department. he having accom-
panied the Burnside Expedition

Secession in the Government Employ.
We hear it very publicly stated that
among the employees of Government at
Psfryvillc, there is bountiful sprink-
ling of Secession. Officers high in COM
mand are reported as being voluble in
the cause Of treason. Professional pol
iticians are tho men in the main who
seek after and squeeze themselves into
government employ, and of such mater
ial is the backbone and blood of scccs-
sion composed. AS crows to pounce
upon a carrion they are ever ready to
pounce upon Government job. As
like cleaves to like there is nothing more
natural then that such vcrmin, though
ia, tening upon the money of the people,
should find their souls (if they have ANY,
ycarning after their kith and kin who are
fighting, and stealing and lying, under
the rebel rag of Jeff. and his great
assassin gang, as mart pante.h for
the water brook" Honest Union men,
who know nothing but their country and
their country's triumph in this great
struggle of truth, law and order, against
RIGHTEOUSNESS, and highwayman lust
after plumber and power, are pushed
aside by those hypocritical wolves
There ought to be stiicter surveillance
kept over secession, and the man that
has given cause for the least suspicion
of his loyalty should be compelled to
stand aside from al. government employ
as lepsr from among his fellows. If
there are scccssionists employed at Perry
vile the fact should be reported at head
quarters and the men with the g evil
eye" cast out.

CASE OF DEsTITUTIoN.-An negro man

CASE OF DEsTITUTIoN.-An negro man
died on Saturday last, in house on farm
in Middle Neck, in the md District. The
premises, We believe, of Mr.. Flntham.
1t is reported that the disease was small
pox but Mr.. Geo. b. Pennington is of the
opinion that frosted feet was the cause of
his death. There was no provision or atteu-
dance on the poor creature, except what
Mr.. Pennington rendered. A small sum of
money was appropriated to the use of the
sick man by the county. At the latest
accounts the remains were unburied none
being willing to come in contact with corpse
said to be infected with that loathsome
disease.

THAT epidcmical impotence which
appears to reign throughout the land,
has doubtless, 10 very great extent,
influenced the people and press IN the
complaints of hardness which have been
made of the progress Of our Legislatures
proceedings. We believe that the pres
ent hoay assembled at Annapolis is, in
the main, a body Of working MEMBERS
Many bills of the most vital importance
have been brought forward, requiring
much labor and care in their preparation.
Few speeches have been made for
L" Buncon.be, 2" the House always mani
testing ilnpaticnce by calling member
to order, who rambles in his remarks
from the point directly at issue.
The great mass of private and local
business which our Legislature is loaded
down with, necessarily consumes much
time.
The Treason Bill which has passed
the House, and which will be found
ION our first page this week, is bill
maturcd with much care, employing in
its preparation the highest legal talent
in the State. 1t will be pronounced by
every loyal mama true reflection of the
sentiments of the people who called The
present Legislature into being. A bill
which when passed upon by the Senate,
and entered on the statute books of the
State as law, will awake to a proper
comprehension of its crimes, the licen-
tiousness of Secession, which appears to
have relapsed into dream, that to dcs-
troy our whole social and politicl fabric
by the most violent means, is nothing
more than a mere passtimc, guil:less of
any wrong whatever.
There are other bills under consilcra-
ton by the Legislature, in greater or
less stages Of advancement, of the high
est importance, requiring much time and
care to properly mature them, all tend
ing to bring to condign punishment the
traders in their country's life and honor.
God speed the sword of avenging justice
to clave' the trcaehery that sucks the
blood of the na.ion, to the marrow of its
bones.
We cannot close this brief notice of
the Legislature and its doings without a
remark Of commentator of our Cecil
members. Their seats are directly in the
centre Of the Hall and in front of the
Speakers sand; and for hearing and
addressing the House the Cecil pelega; es
have the most desirable location of any
other in that body. Our own obscrva-
ton, confirmed by statements from other
sources, places our members among the
most active working members of the
House.

The REDELLIoN.-It is admitted by the
Richmond journals that the merton and

is working out terrible results. The Rich
mond Examiner says that, while the rebel
army is accomplishing nothing, the Northern
Government has been making movements and
assaults, and carrying on plans of attack to
SUIT themselves, without any delays or alarms,
ever since they were compelled to make
hasty preparations for the defence of WASH
ington several months ago. The whole tone

STAY LAW now in force, respectfully rcnion-
strate against its extension.
They cannot believe that the said Law is
ofrcal benefit to any class OF the colnnrdhity.
Its tendency is to prevent those most need

which is so essential to their comfort and

in debt
1t dcprives those, who are DESTROYS of

sary to accomplish that purpose.
1t is calculated to involve all, creditors as
well as debtors, in a common ruin. and
will bankrupt many, who, except for such
Law, might struggle through the trials and
troubles of the hour. For these, aud other
reasons, we, therefore, unite in respectfully
demonstrating against an extension Of the

BURNING OF A WHISKY SHop.-An
individual by the name of Joseph Lammay,
from Lancaster county, erected shanty
about three or four weeks since, some two
and a half miles from Perryville, at Den
nisons and McMullin's corner, where he
commenced the business of selling rum -
The shanty was overturned twice by some
indignant temperate Individuals but said
Lammay being blessed with the virtue of
indomitable perseverance in a good cause,
continued to right up his pine shauty and
dispense grog to the thirsty wayfarers. On
Sunday morning last the little pine shanty
wassurrounded by some evil minded persons,
who had the (ove of their neighborhood
more at heart than the love of rum, and
applying torch to the establishment, it
and the whisky persisted in one common
ruin.
