About FLAX.

am very glad to find that you are call
ing TIE attention Of farmers to the cutiya
ton Of flax. They have only to look ahead.
and reflect a little on the subject. to soc the
Gbs0iHte necessity for every farmer in the land
to put in IL few acres of flax No,c is the
time to prepare for it. Before another year
passes over, every yard of muslin they may
be obliged to buy for household use, will
cost them probably one doiiar! War or no
war. there will little cotton be raised in the
South this year, aud they must prepare.
each for himself, what he may require, if
no more.
When was a hoy, some sixty years ago,
every farm about our city had its patrh Of
Rar, as it was called. and in some Of the
countless Lancaster and Berks, especially,
farmers daughter was not thought eligi-
bic for MAJ rimony until she had spun with
her own hands sufficient quantity OF iaN
for her household linen. and those who
remained on hand at five or six and twenty
had generally large stock on hand, as they
began eoHy. Next to a waving field of wheat,
ripe for the sickle, as Il beautiful sight. is !,
field of flax in bloom, with It's blue and yel.
low blossoms.
There is no use Of scientific spccuatipns
as to the h;nj Of sail it requires. Flax will
grow upon any good land, aud man may
judge as we'll about it as about wheat, or
rye, Or corn. ii.

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing.

BIG Elk, March 10th, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR Il still live; live for my
country, which shall eventually triumph
over all evil and finally wipe every traitor
to his country out of existence. now wish
to allude, MIR. Editor, briefly to "a card in
your last paper, dated March 9Th, Fairview,
signed William Daft, denouncing the facts
contained in the letter that appeared III
your paper from the Brick Meeting House
in reference to the secession exhibition
1t is very natural for man when he impli
Gates himself in any thing to try to creep
out of it as nicely as he can. Such has
been the case with Mr.. Duff but he has
failed to accomplish his purposes and it is
through the influence of those in the neigh
bourhood favorable to justice and truth that
| am induced to reply to his card, which is
nothing but a combination of falsehoods
gotten up for no other purpose than to clear
himself and his co-operators.
There is not one Union man in the neigh
borhood who is not willing to testify to the
truth of the letter from the Brick Meeting
House, signed Spectator" The truth is
mighty and will prevail.
The object of having the exhibition on
the following Wednesday evening was for
the purpose of smoothing over and repair
ing the mischief and insults incurred on the
first occasion, by leaving out some of the
secession pieces and not, as Mr.. Duff has
told you, by the ''request of the people of
the neighborhood, as the house was not
more tEan half filled, the audiance having
gotten full satisfaction the first night.
Mr.. Duff denies it being school exhibi-
ton. We should like to know what he
calls it, then? as there were not more than
two Or three spoke pieces who were not his
scholars. The ladies and gentleman of the
neighborhood had nothing to do with it;
and in number of instances he has been
know to select the pieces, which the child
rem have since declared to be so. AS far as
the patronage of the school is concerned,
while Mr.. Duff remains as teacher, will not
amount to much as number have already
their intentions to abandon the school. We
hope the above remarks will be sufficient to
rebut Mr.. Duff statements, or any others
he may hereafter make. And ] will also,
Mr.. Editor, refer you to any good Union
man in the neighborhood or out of it, that
was at the exhibition for confirmation of
the facts | have stated, and also those of
your Brick Meeting House correspondent.

The Congressional Question,

As a session Of Congress may at any time
become necessary, it is proper that the peo
pie should prepare to meet Il question, viz:
the qualification of their Representative
which may be sprung upon them at mo.
mcnt's warning. The next House of Rerre.
sentatives must be very close; any hesita.
ton on the part of the members from
Maryland to join heartily with the Admins
traton i'll support of the war against the
rebels, must result either in keeping the
House disorganized, or give the control of
it to the Copperhead allies of treason. The
country in its present condition could not
bear the strain Of month disorganixation
and the attendant excitement and uphcav.
ing of partizan passions; and to give the
Speakership to the Coppcrheads would
place in their hands the control of the com.
mitIees, Which is just in effect tying the
hands of the Administration, and forcing it
to make peace with JelI Davis on his own
terms.
Let the people see TO il, that no nan is nomi-
mated on the Union ticket for Congress, who is
not willing to 60 into, and abide by the action
Of Il caucus for Speaker called upon the simple
basis OF: SUPPORT OF THE ADAiINiS-
TRArION IN TIE PROSECUTION OF
THE VAR" There must be no ti!libustcring,
no third-party e-tnt-yadical-lonhuol-
cry; all this is playing into the hands Of the
Coppcrhcnls in one or the other of the two ways
we have sp; ken of. We write this in the n.c-
rest of man or set Of men, we dom, care who
the man is but lie must be brave man, Il
rue man, who will march square up to tie
issue, and not allow himself to be frightened
away from the performance of whGi is plainly
he duty Of every loyal member Of Congress by

EFFECTS OF THE pKOCIAMA ALTON II Exc;

EFFECTS OF THE PROCLAMATION IL ENG,
LAND. he London correspondent of the
Boston Post Democraticl says that the
reaction in England in favor of the North is
50 great that it will not he four months. at
The rate the change Of public opon is gong
on, before from half to two-thirds of the
English People will be on the side Of the
Union. referring TO this revolution in
public sentiment, the Posts correspondent
says: "ihere is a complete change ain
public opinion growing up, based on cman-
"ipaton. Call it absurd. call it fanatical,
tall it what YOU please, the anti slavery
spirit here is voting sece son Il bore, a
laIlacy and swind'e. There is . large
national emancipation society here in Lon
don that numhcrs many leading men, and
there are also local emancipation societies
in Liverpool, Manchester, and other places.
and they are all having meetings and cxcr
else great influence. The movement is best
illustrated by the rolling up of II large snow
ball-it gathers bulk and weight as it pro-
proceeds. Even the Times is forced to
notice the current of popular opinon.'

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Gas IN ELKToN.-Mcssrs. J. NJ.
Baker Il Co., OF Baltimore, have entered
into arrangements with the Town Comlnis-
sIoners Of Elkton to light the town with gas.
The Commissioners grant the right Of the
Gas Company, Of the streets for twenty
years for The purpose Of laying down the
necessary pipe, etc. The Town Authorities
agree to furnish twenty street lamps, and
pay the Company Il stipulated sum per lamp;
the lamps to be lighted every moonlcss, or
dark night till twelve o'clock. The County
Commissioners have also agreed to have the
public buildings lighted with gas, and all
that remains for completing the arrange
ments, and having gas AS one of the pcrma-
nent institutions of Elkton. is a few more
individual subscriptions added to the list.
+. Staples has the proposal, or subScrip-
ton list, and parties wishing to subscribe as
consumers, by calling on him car obtain
any information on the gas question desired.
We hope the enterprise of our citizens will
not allow so beneficial an enterprise to fall
through for want Of little energy at the
moment of contamination. The introduction
Of gas will not fail to add much to the i'm
provemcnt Of our town, and the consequent
enhancement in the value of property.
