ARRIVAL OF PEIsoNERs FROM THE WIN.
CHESTER BATTLE.-B Baltimore, March 25.-
Two hundred and thirty rebel prisoners
captured at the battle of Winchester. arrived
here this afternoon. They have been pro
vided with quarters in the north wing of the
new city Jail, probably the most comfortable
they have enjoyed for many months. They
are miscrably dirty, and about rs unsoldier.
Unlocking crowd as ever were seen. All
were Firginians with the exception of five
or six Baltimoreans, who left here before
the war broke out. One of the prisoners,
on reaching the quarters, threw up his hal
and exclaimed, ''Ihank God! am in the
United States once more y Others con.
graduated themselves at the prospect OF
getting something to eat, which they admit
ted they had not had for some time.

respectfully, &c.,,


Out of consideration for the
feelings of the wri or of the above silly
letter we withhold his name. The
young mans zeal on runs his judgement,
but we trust when lie grows little
older he will grow a good deal wiser,
and be heartily ashamed of having made
such goney of himself. When lie
undertakes to defend all Uncle Sans
officials he will be apt to discover that
he has pretty heavy contract on his
hands; and if many of them are of the
stripe of some of hose ABOUT Porryvile
the job will be as Improbable as thank
less. We advise him to hoe up his own
row and leave the refutation of what
he is pleased to call ISLANDER and
abuse % to the parties particularly
interested. The man who attends to
his own affairs properly in these times
is generally thought the most of by his
neighbors.
If the parties alluded to in the COM
munlcation from Port Deposit have any
thing to say in vindication of themselves
we shall be happy to publish it. If
they are innocent of the charges pre-
ferred against them nothing is easier
than to show their innocence. 1t they
are gully it is time they were exposed
to public indignation. We know that
rebels and scoundrels haze been in the
employ of the Government and fear
they are not rooted out yet and it is
just as likely that a few of them arc
about Perryville as any her place.
We have no "bill of arrearages "
against the young gentleman, having
sent him the paper free so the discon-
tinuance of "my paper" is blow
which We are likely to survive.
His supernatural knowledge which
divines the writer of the letter from
Port Deposit is rather apocryphal, he
being rather too good Union man to
find the Pcrryville crowd congenial to
him, if the general reputation they bear
is correct. -

THE ARBUTUs.-T sweet little
flower whose botanical name is Epigoea
rrpcns, but which is known in New England
as the May flower and ground, laurel, and
in this region as the trailing -arbutus, is now
in bloom. a week ago we discovered two
or three blossoms modestly pccping from
the dead leaves but the mild weather of
this week has caused the buds to open
rapidly, and in few days Red Hill will be
thronged with all classes in search of the
fragrant flower. "To pick the May flower"
says a pleasant writer is like following in
the footsteps of some spendthritt army
which has scattered the contents of its
treasure chest among beds of scented moss
The fingers sink in the soft, moist vcrdurc
and make at each instant some superb dis
covery unaware again and again straying
carelessly they clutch some treasure and
indeed, all is linked together in bright neck
laces by secret threads beneath the surface
and where you grasp at one, you hold many

the keys of piano, and bring forth
fragrance for melody. The lovely crca
turcstwine and nestle and lay their glow
ing faces to the very earth beneath

harrenncss becomes fresh and fragrant
beauty So great is the charm that the
epigoea is really the one wildnower for
which our country people have hearty
passion. Every village child knows its
best haunts, and watches for it eagerly
in the spring; boys wreathe their hats with
it, girls Irvine it in their hair, and the
cottage windows are filled with its beauty"
We have frequently looked for the arbutus
among the Octoraro hills, but have never
found it, and believe it is much more album.

MOVING DAY.-The 25th of March
is the day prescribed by custom in this
county for moving or " fitting" Last
Tuesday was consequently a busy day in
Elkton. Wagons loaded with household
furniture were moving in every direction,

the run Of such matters say more changes
have taken place in Elkton this year than
