THE SERVICES OF THE
Morgan Trotting Stallion
SHERMAN MORGAN, JR.

WILL be again offered to the horse breeders
wv of Hartford and Baltimore counties this
Spring commencing on the FIRST OF APRIL,
at the following places:
Mondays and Tuesdays, at JOHN DALLAMS
HOTEL, Bel Air, Hartford Co..
Wednesdays and Thursdays, at JOHN HAW-
KINS' Tavern, near Jarrettsvilie, Hartford Co.
Fridays and Saturdays, AT THE RESIDENCE
OF HIS OWNER, 81 miles from Baltimore, on
the Old Hartford Road, which road leaves the
Hartford Turnpike at she 5-mile stone.
If more xonyenient, mares can be sent to
SWEET AIR on Friday mornings, where he
will stop for short time.
The great demand for, and general introduc-
ton into all parts Of the country Of this peculiar
breed of horses is the best evidence Of their gen
eral utility.
mnnerative class of horses an opportunity is
now presented Of securing the services of GEN
UINE MORGAN horse, embodying each and
every characteristic of the breed id an unusual
degree, combined with great speed and unusual
po,Cers of endurance.
Heretofore have never claimed that he could
trot faster than 2.472 but during the past fall
he exhibited degree of speed much beyond my
expectations, and ! believe he is now the best
gated and fastest trotting Stallion at all distances,
noso Standing in Maryland
the general characteristics of the Morgan breed
of horses to judge of the merits of the horse of
fer for their patronage, give their leading fea-
lures, as laid down by Mr.. Linsley, (author of
Morgan Horses" and editor of the american
Stock JournaI.) They are as follows:-A small,
lean head, broad between the eyes, which are
prominent, bold and pleasant; small well shaped
ears, set wide apart, delicate and lively short
and broad back; long, deep and wide hips; the
the loins broad and full the thigh plump and
sinewy. The limbs are large in proportion to
the size of the horse, but free from meat and re-
markably wide, fiat and sinewy; the joints close;
the pasterns short; feet small, well shaped and
excellent; name and tail full, and color almost
invariably chestnut or bay. In height they
range from IA to l53 hands, and their average
weight is about 1000 lbs. In temper they are
very courageous, but exceedingly gentle and
tractable. But their most striking peculiarity
is their action; legs well under, trot low, smooth,
and nervous-the short fore leg bending well at
the knee. 5B,.. 3..s
A careful examination of SHERMAN NOR
GAN, JR., will, am sure, convince impartial
judges that he is the most perfect type of Nor
gan horse that has ever stood in this section of
the country. In addition to this, he is himself a
trotter, comes of a trotting family, and at the
North, where he was raised, has proved himself
getter Of trotters: and as the first principle of
breeding is, that like begets like, those who
crossing them with SHERMAN MORGAN, JR.,
the production of colts that will be creditable to
them as breeders, and profitable in pecuniary
point of view.

VOLUME XIII. NO. 80.

We had some stirring news from the
Army in Maryland and Virginia, received
through gentleman who reached here
las, night, and who was with the Union
army last Saturday and Sunday. He sayB
that the Union army Is rapidly crossing
into Virginia at Wiliamsport. Kenley's
Brigade in advance, went over the river
on Sunday night. Couch's Division also
crossed the Potomac on Monday. Frank
Inns Corps was to follow Immediately
NJ ClelIan and staff were at Willamsporl,
actively engaged in experimenting the
crossing Of troops. An impression has
prevailed in the army that the corps OF
Heintzleman and Sigel were now in Vir-
ginia and their mission was to stop the re-
treat of the rebels.
FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. % Tho flag of
truce boat Canonicus returned from Aikens
Landing this afternoon. bringing down over
paroIcd Onion prisoners, who are to be sent
Immediately north.
A Pennsy lvanian just returned from re-
beldom, reports active movements of rebels
from Richmond towards Petersburg. Over
10 600 passed down the Richmond and
Petersburg Railroad last Saturday.
| The Richmond Whig of September 20,h,
saws tho battle at B0onsboro or Middletown,
/ MARYLAND, was brought on by Mcclellan
/ with view to relieve the Federal garrison
at IIarper's Ferry. We think it extremely
improbable that no can have bad so many
as 0.OOO men since Hills corps d'armee
was found sufficient to check his progress.
Next day Longstree, corps joined Hills.
and defeated Mcclellan. The Wing, in
speaking of tho capture of HarPers Forry,
says tho number of prisoners is probably
greater than those taken bv the Federals at
Fort Donelson. or by the Confcderates in
the battles before Richmond. 1t claims the
capture as the most fruitful and momcntous
sncccss Of tho war. 1t cxpells the last rem.
nant of tte Federal army from the Valley,
and secures tho whole of that rich country
to the C0pfedoracv. 1t relieves Lee of all
apprehension of danger in his rear, aud
opens the ouIy line of communication with
! Richmond.

An Intervention Story at Paris.

"Malakoff," The Paris correspondent of
tho New York Times, tell the following Gu
rous story:
The secesssion;sts here. who naturally
derive their nows and their consolation from
the minister of the Interior, (Persigny,) are
elated at tho prospect of a recognition. But
here is II nui you will fiEd hard to crack.
A leading editor OF Paris. after long con-
versation with cabinet on American at
fairs, published yesterday in his paper a
strong article against mediation or recog.
milton, aud thore laid it down as fixed
doctrine of tho French, that there be no
recognition Of he Southern Confrderacy nm
Ill Me Con federdcy had guaranteed The .Abo'
Hliom of Slavery, This determination OF
tho Government, the writer adds, cannot
be changed, aud since the new COnfedera,
oy boasts that Slavery is its cornerstone
and since Slavery is what it is fighting for
he does not see how there is any chance ol
q recognition either now or hereafter. Sc
that the Confederaoy is now brought to this
extremity, and l ought to add that many
persons believe tho Southern agents are
prepared to drink THE last and bitlerest cup
rather than acknowledge the supremacy Of
tho Government of Washington.

INDIAN TROUBLES IN EASTERN OREGON
A correspondent Of the Dalles Mouutaineer
writes thus from Auburn, in the Powder
Valley, under date of the 23d ult:
The emigrants are trolling FL " nere fast, and
say that Of late the Indians Is 4es) have been
very annoying to them. At the ossing Of Snake
river, near Salmon Fall, whilst the emigrants
were crossing, the Snakes fired on them and
killed twenty. At Pacific Springs, two wagons
were behind about mile; they were travelling
slowly over a bad road, having sick man in
one wagon and woman driving it, all the 9TH
er men were off the road, when seven Indians
attacked the wagons and cut the harness so
badly that the traces broke. The Indians then
got between the horses and the wagon, and
drove the horses of. The sick man raised him
self and shot one Indian with revolver; the
other men coming up the Indians went off,
taking their dead or wounded one with them.
Mr.. Campbell, of this place, had cousin
killed at Lander's Cutoff. The Indians obtained
from him money and booty to the amount OF
about 81, 5000. About 500 emigrants went in
for Salmon by way of Fort Lanigh (), the old
Mormon fort at the head Of Snake river, and
as wagons could not pass the road, had to pack.
Many good Chicago wagons were sold to Nor
mon traders for plug Of tobacco. Near Pacific
Springs were some Mormon troops at the time
of the Indian attack, but they did not interfere.
The emigrants just arrived met the U. S. troops
from Oregon crossing the Malheur river, and
reported to the commanding officer regarding
the Indians, and the soldiers are going to look
after them.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. 25. 1852

AIMING NE0RoEs.-The rebel War De-
partment has issued proclamation in rela'
ton to the organizing and arming Ofnegroes
By Generals Hunter and Phelps, declaring
that they shall no longer be held as public
euemies, but as outlaws, aud that in the
view of the capture of either of them, or OF
any other officer employed 10 drilling blacks
he shall not be regarded as prisoner Of
war, but held 10 close confinement for exc
cuGion as felOn at such time and place as
JEFF. Davis may order. The rebels them
selves have set the precedent Of arming and
drilling negroes, aud using them in every
conceivable shape in the var against the
Government, and their proclamation goes
for nothing, They employed corps of
negroes at the battle of Baton Rouge, and
thousands of Indians fought for them at Pea
Ridge. If they employ negroes and Indians
TO eight for them, they, at least, have no
right to complain If the same races are en-
pioyed by the Government. We do not
believe 1t would be policy for the Govern
ment to arm slaves and Indians; for If the
rebels have placed themselves on level
with savages, nothing is to be gained by
following the bad example; but the right is
unqueetionable. Slaves have been armed
in war times, 10 all ages, wherever slaves
we're to be found, and it was believed they
could be made an element of strength by
the government or military leader using
them, aud nothing will restrain the rebels
from a general arming of their slaves but a
fear that The blacks will eventually turn
against their masters.

The PREsIDEET's PRoCLAMATION.-The
substance of the Presidents proclamation,
abolishiug slavery in the States that are iu
rebellion after the 6rst of January next,
will be found 10 another place. he undOubt-
ediy has the right, as commander-in.chief
of the army and navy, to declare freedom
to the slaves In the insurreCtiOnary districts.
1t is right appertaining to the war power,
aud IL the rebellion is put down, and the
Federal authority re-established 10 the rebel
States, the decree will have to be enforced.
But at present, the proclamation will make
no change 10 the relations of the Govern
ment towards the rebellious States. It may
satisfy few noisy abOIitionists; but we
cannot see that 1t will add to, or subtract
any thing from, the strength and resources
Of either the Federal Government or of the
rebels. If the rebellion is crushed, 1t will
have to be done by hard fighting, and not
By prOclamatiOnS.
