County Levy, 1862.

IN compliance with the provision ofSection
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 aud published by the
direction of the County Commissioners Of
| Allegany County:
The whole levy amounts to the aggregate
sum of S35, 1896, for the payment of which
| forty cents in each hundred dollars, upon the
assessed property in said County, were levied,
which assessment amounts to $8,93S, 740 for
the present year, exceeding that of the last
year 1878, ZIG. The assessment stands at u
higher figure now thar at any previous time
since the general assessment of 1852. This
large increase is the result Of much pains and
labor on the part of the Commissioners, in
putting upon the County books property and
persons heretofore unassessed 1t is proper
to state that $59 900 of the above was re-
turned by tho late Collector 1t will be seen
be thus secured not before realized
The per ccntage 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 levics of 1861, and
particularly those for the roads, which in
connection with several freshcts within the
last nine months have rendered extraordinary
levies for that purpose absolutely necessary.
The amount appropriated at the late session
for the roads amounts to 81, 430; for 1861 it
was only S2,847; 81 800 were levied for the
use Of the City of Cumberland in accordance
with long established usage, but this levy
was withheld from the city for the last year
or two, Had tho latter levy been refused,
and that for the roads been kept at the
amount of last year, the per centage for the
County tax would have been less than "a
cents in the hundred dollars-which was the
levy for the year 1861.
The present levy for the State tax is TWEEN
ty-Gve cents in the hundred dollars. II was
pnt at that rate by the act of 1862. chapter
1876.

Extraordinary Military salve.

The lonely sentry walking his rounds at
night, exposed to drcnching rains and chill
night air, is often seized with most rioLent
pains, cough and sufocating hoarseacs', first
symptoms of yuicE consumption, but if supplied
with HOLL0WAY'S PILLS and IIOLLO-
WAYS OINTMENT, all danger is averted,
few Pills taken night and morning, and the
Ointment briskly rubbed twice day over the
throat and chest will remove the seserest pains
and stop the most distressing or 2angcrous
cough. Therefore we say to the whole Army.

The New York correspondent oil the BOs

Young Mems Christian Association, gives
this doleful account of the condition of the
Republican party:
The Republican party is getting into q
very bad way, and the indications are nu.
merous that its career will ere long be cut
short by internal dissensions of the character
of those that carried off Charles Lamb's
much .calumnisted King Herod'-who we
are told was 'eaten of worms and gave up
the ghost" The model party of 1860 having
passed through the tape worm stage, in

DR.. Holmes one.h horse shay-which went
out in a cloud of dust, all of sudden, one
fine day. Between conservatives and radi-

worshipers and Lincoln haters, Weedttes
and anu-Weedites, the ins and the outs, the
Fremonts and the Blairs, and the various
other political antitheses composing modern
Republicanism, it is no difficult or doubtful
prognostic that the party whose representa-.

The London Examiner concludes an article
on the Mason and Slidell question with the
following language;
Behind the Trent affair looms black and
large the blockade question, phich Francs is
resolved TO bring TO an issue. We may be
obliged by truth to agree with her as to the
principle and facts, precisely as she has
agreed with US in the Trent affair; but as we
proposed to act without her CO operation in
that instance, so as to the blockade we may
leave her to act without ours. For it would
have bad look if we were to raise one cause
of contention Immediately after another was
disposed of, and especially as our conduct
might be suspected of being influenced by
commercial interests. France can well go
alone in this matter, and we have heard it
we'll suggested that with very good grace
she might suggest to the American Govern
ment that a truce with the South for year
or 50 might dispose of the difficulty about
the blockade, and give the two parties time
to cool, and to consider what is for their real
and permanent interests without any preiu-
dice to their respective claims or detrimeut
to their powers, ifit should be their final de-
termination to resume hostilities.
