The delegates appointed from this
county by the regular County Convention,
which renssembled here on Monday last
were admitted to the Convention of the 23d
in Baltimore, while those appointed by the
stump-tai Convention called by "B. T.
May, member of the Executive Committee,
etc., were turned out in the cold. Thus
have the few rash men in Cecil who are con
tent only TO rule or ruin the Union party
been sterEly rebuked by the friends from
whom they expected aid and comfort. How
much further will they now proceed in their
selfish and ambitious schemes? viii the
bogus Executive Committee appointed by
this stump tail Convention, attempt to exer-
else their illegal authority, or will they
quietly subside? Will these factionists
attempt to get up and run bogus county
ticket, or will they abide by the decision OF
the convention called to nominate county
candidates, by the regularly appointed Com
mittee? We will see.

BY late arrival from New Orleans,
We learn that Gen. Sherman, who was
wounded at the assault on Port Hudson,
has had his leg ampuiated, and was consid-
cred by his surgeon to. be out Of danger
This will be glad news to his many friends.
The New Orleans True Delta thus speaks of
the General: "Our readers will share the
sincere pleasure we ourselves enjoy in i'm
parting to them the glad tidings that Gen,
eral Sherman is pronounced by his medical
attendants as out of danger. His high and
honorable career as soldier, his lofty sense
of honor, his generous and considerate con-
duct in official positions of delicacy and
Importance, have created profound inter
est for him in this community, where but
one opinion of him as soldier and gen.
tleman is entertained"

Close OF The PUBLIC Schools
The public schools of Cecil county were
closed yesterday-and will not again be
opened till December. Cause,-want of
funds.
Our school system is not efficient, the law
limiting the levy of Tax for school purposes
to twelve cents on the hundred dollars. -
This is found to be too low to raise the
requisite funds for public school nurposes.

Correction.

In our remarks last week upon the two
County Conventions, held IN Elkton, on the
18th and 10th inst, two errors occur lone
of considerable importance) which we pro-
pose to rectify in the present issue.
In speaking of the action of the primary
meetings, the types make us represent the
people as giving undue consideration to the
Tuesdays call. The paragraph referred to
reads as follows:
In the primary meetings Of the Second Fourth
Sixth, seventh Eighth and Ninth Districts there
to have been found supporter of Tuesdays Con-
vcnt!on and the Union men unanimously sent delegates
20 Mondays Convention with instruction To remain over
| till 1uelay they deemed it advisable"
4 line accidentally omitted by the COM
positor, and not discovered i'll time for cor.
rection, Gbels the people of Cecil somewhat,
in their sovereign capacity of ins!ructing
delegates.
After " Mondays Convention, the above
quoted paragraph should have read:
''In the rEsr District delegates sent to Mon
days Convention with instruction TO remain till
Tuesday if they deemed 1t advisable" sc.
1t will be seen by the above correction
that only one (the First) District instructed
her delegates to act with Tuesdays Con-
vention, if they thought it proper, in place
Of all the Districts. In speaking of the
primary meeting in Elkton District, the
types make US say that not holy dozen ="
were gathered together to appoint delegates
to the Convention of Tuesday. Holy
dozen" should here read "hay Dozen" We
make this unimportant correction, because
We wish the people to know that we cannot
ascribe any degree of holiness to political
movement, whose direct result must be, if
successful to enbarrass the Administration
in its efforts to crush the Rebellion and a
movement also directly antagonistic to- the
wishes Of a vast majority of the people Of
this county.
