Stick to the Regular Nominated
Ticket.

The time is now approaching when it is
necessary for each man to decide for whom
his political interest and necessity demands
his vote. There are number of InGepen-
dent candidates in the field in opposition to
the regular nominees. They have come out
under circumstances Of uncertain and indef.
mite opposition to the Administrations
person rs who will do what they can against
a Government upon which Maryland de-
ponds for everything which effects her future
welfare.
Now, citizens of Allegany, we appeal to
your own common sense, let rebeldom ter
inmate rs it may, it can never include Mary
land. If all the forces of Europe were COM
bned against us, Maryland must ever be
with the United States Now, do you pro-
pose to vote for those men who at least only
propose to p:oong the war, to the sacrifice
of our home interests, or will you adopt the
decision of our Central Committee, and sup
port the regular nominees of the Uncondi-
tional Union County Convention, which was
held in this city on the 3rd day of Septem-
Der? Questions may arise in your mind as
to the mental qualification for certain posi-
tons but what is the main interest in the
coming contest? 1t is matter of PRIN-
CIPLE, it is the perpotuation of the present
Government, without further contest on The
soil of Maryland. Does farmer wish to
perpetuate his family estate? Then let him
vote the regular nominated ticket. Does an
artizan wish to engage in permanent busi-
ness which ne can hand down to his child
rem Let him support the regular Uncon-
ditional Union Nominees. You cannot at
tach yourselves to an independent candidate,
without becoming identified with d,sorgan-
izers, who, If they are successful, can only
blast your hopes and the hopes of your
children. Now voters you have an oppor-
tunity to render your present circumstances
permanent,or your future prospects probable.
| will you do SO. Ifso, vote for the regular
nominated Unconditional Union ticket,
placed at the he'd Of orr columns. ..

The Situation OF MARYLAND.

The effects of the rebellion on our State
are now severely felt by the shareholders of
the Eastern Shore. Their able bodied ne
groes are either running away to the free
States or enlistins in the colored regiments,
and consequently those who own this species
Of property in that region have great diff
Guilty in filling the soil, because OF being I'M
able to replace the labor thus so suddenly
withdrawn. So great is the exodus that sew
eral counties have become almost depopu-
lated of the able-bodied negro, while the old
and decrepid remain as a burthen and tax
to their owners. Respecting labor cotem-
porary remarks that Maryland, at this mo-
ment, offers more inducements for the emf
grafton Of northern and foreign labor than
any other State of the Union. The late
very large exodus from that State of free ne
gro and slave labor, for service in connection
with our military operations, has already
practically, to a very great extent, denuded
her of the labor with which agriculture was
prosecuted everywhere throughout her Inns
its, except in the western counties and the
immediate vicinity of Baltimore, and her
landholders stand ready to pay those liber-
ally who promptly and efficiently fill the
vacancies. The soil, climate, and other ad :
vantages which Maryland offers to settlers
from the North and Europe in search of
work and homes, are just now unequaled.-
From three to five thousand such laborers
and their families could at this moment find
constant, profitable, and otherwise most adj
vantageous employment in the counties of
Talbot and Dorchester alone, whore white
laboring population can live better, enjoying
all the luxurics of the oysters, fish, game,
etc., for which those counties ere SO justly
celebrated, than anywhere else in the United
States. 1t will be we'll for the Emigrant Aid
Societies of New York to turn their atten-
ton at once to the many superior advantages
offered by these counties OF Maryland as
homes for honest and efficient workmen,
whether mechanics or farm hands, now daily
reaching our shores from abroad"

Our Candidate for Clerk.

We cheerfully give place to the following
preamble and resolutions passed by the Or
phan's Court of Allegany county, in 1857,
on the retirement of WILLIAM r. McCULLEY
from the office of Register of Wills of said
county, to show the high regard in which
that honorable body held his services as an
officer, &c. Mr.. McCulley, as the nominee
of the Union Convention for Clerk Of the
Circuit Court merits, and will doubtless re-
ceive the support of all true Union men
throughout the county, and will make a
highly popular officer:
"Judge Hammill offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
" Whereas our highly valued Register and
most estimable friend, William R. McCulley,
Esq, is about to be superseded in office by
the election of his worthy competitor John
B. Widener, and deeming it no less a duty
to him, than to ourselves, that we should re-
cord amongst the proceedings of this Court
fcer, and our alfectionate regard for him as
q friend: Now, therefore, it is hereby
"Resolued, LIST. That the said William r.
MCCuley, III MS uluCiai CIidIdCtci anu yuan
fcations as Register of Wills in this county,
during his whole term of Office, was in all
respects first class officer, and in him the
people possessed public servant above price.
80. That our said Register not only pos
scssed the unlimited confidence of this Court
for his integrity, capacity, and efficiency as
an officer, but at the same time always shared
our unmeasured friendship and regard for
his Uniform civility Of manner and frank and
generous department in his intercourse, as
well personal as official, with this Court and
all its suitors or persons transacting business
before it.
"3. That we cannot withhold the ex-
preston of our deep regret at the separation
Of our official connection with the said Nc
Cul!ey, flowing like an unbidden sentiment,
as it does, from our high appreciation of him
as an officer and man, and which, to bis last
ing honor and credit, is not the less felt,
though political friend of majority of this
Court is to be his successor
"A. That these resolutions with their pre-
amblo be entered on the journal of proceed
ings OF this Court, and copy, under the
seal Of the Court, be presented to the said
McCuley."

Attack on Gen. Blunt and Escort.

ST. LOUIS, Dot. 10.-A Leavenworth
dispatch give the particulars of an attack
on Gen. Blunt and his escort below Fort
Scott. He was attacked by three hun
dred rebels in Federal uniform, near the
encumpment of Lieut.. Pond. His es-
cort broke, and, out Of one hundred men,
seveDty-eight were killed All were shot
through tho head, evidently after they
we're captured. Major Curtis was thrown
from his horse and found with bullet
hole through his head undoubtcd wound
ed after being taken prisoner. Lieut..
Ponds camp was attacked about the same
time. Four men were killed and three
wounded. Gen Blunt escaped, and,
meeting reinforcements at Fort Scott,
took command and started in pursuit of
Quantrill. Lieut., Farr, Third Wiscon-
sin, was killed. Capt Todd, Quantrill's
adjutant, came over to Ponds camp and
asked for an exchange of prisoners. He
said a number of the rebels we're wound
ded, among them was Col. Shelby
Qnantrills force came from Cowskin
Prairie, McDouga'l county, Mo.
A letter from Fort Scott, of the 9Th,
says q rebel force has burnt Carthage
(Mo.) that morning. Gen. Schofeld tel
egraphs to Leavcnworth that from 7 200
to 5000 rebels, under Quantrill, Cole,
Gordon, and Hunter, we're marching on
Fort Scott, and that he had ordered Col.
Weir to move all the force he could raise
to Fort Scott.

900 FALsE.-We have been informed that L.
G. Lyons a defeated and dissatisfied appli-
cant and an independent candidate for Reg
lister of Wills, has given publicity to areport
that he is the Regular Unconditional Union
nominee for the office Of Register of Wills
I'VE emphatically dcnounce the assertion to
be false. Il. G. Lyons was delegate to the
convention, sanctioned aresolution to stand
by the nominees of the convention, and has
since announced himself as an Independent
candidate. We appeal to the people of AL
legany to know whether such man is
worthy the support of the truly loyal voters
Of the county.

rolling stock, thus giving the former COM
pany the entire control of the road from this

IMPORTANT DECISION great suit
which has been pending for the last five
years between the Cumberland Coal and Iron
Company and the Hoffman Steam Coal Com
pany, Sherman & Dean, was decided by the
Court of Appeals, sitting at Annapolis, on the
9th instant.
The decree of the Court will, upon an audit
of the accounts by the Circuit Court of Ale
gapy county, give to the Cumberland Coal
and Iron Company the whole of the lands
and mines. and declares the transportation
contract null and void, the Hoffman Com
pany, Sherman Dean to pay all the costs
in both Courts. This we understand, is all
that the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company
prayed the Court to do.
This was one of the most ably contested
suits that has been tried for many years.
The expenses of printing the evidence and
exhibits alone, in order to bring it properly
before the Court of Appeals, cost each side
about $1,4Oo. .,.
The property at issue is one of the most
valuable coal properties in Allegany county.
