Mr.. EDITOR Il don't remember ever

few upon whom the suspicion of disloyalty
rests, but it is to be hoped when the time
for action arrives, that they will be found
true to their country and their flag.
The rain on Sunday night was quite re,
freshing; it was much needed and was
thankfully received by all, with perhaps the
exception of a few young men who were so
unfortunate as to become storm stayed.
Mr.. Editor, have one more important
topic to which feel in duty bound to refer,
and that is the utter neglect which our
supervisors pay to our public roads. 1t is
indeed disgrace to our District TO have
such miserable thoroughfares in our midst.

Cantain Hntchkiss. of the rnnl

- Captain Hotchkiss, of the gunboat
General Putnam, set out on an expedition
up the Piankatank River, tributary of the
York River, on Monday last, for the pur-
pose of capturing notorious blockade run
ner and guerrilla, named Pritchard. The
capture was effected, and Captain Hotchkiss
then assembled one of the creeks, designing
to cut out schooner and eorne canoes en-.
gagged in smuggling, when, as they turned a
bend in the sire am the party was fired on by
guerrillas concealed in clunp Of trees.
Captain Hotchktss was killed instantly by
ball through the jugular vein, together
with sailor named Mcdonald, and several
men were severely wounded. The gunhoats
finally came into play and scattered the
cowardly assaesins with their nine. inch
shells. Captain Hotchkiss was much
esteemed and highly valued officer, and has
been in active service ever SINCE the com
mencement Of the Rebellion.

- The notice Of the County Central Com
mittee appears to-day in our columns, calling
the people of the Districts to assemble in Pli-
mary Meetings, on Saturday, the 9Th of Septen-
her. 1t is to be hoped that the Union men of
tile County will turn cat and devote one after
noon to The selection of competent delegates to
send to Eikon on the 9th, to form County
ticket. We want moro than ever, TO see Cecil
represented in both branches Of the Legislature
by men of sound judgment and unyielding de-
votion to the cause OF their country-men, whose
country and its interests are not obscuied by The
long Opaque shadow of self falling upon them,
but mcn who know fle wishes of their constu.
enis, and knowing will maintain them For ali
the County offices we want men who have
" learned to think and sternly speak the truth"
We have been cursed in the time gone by, by
what are styled-and aptly too--professional pol
ticans; men who ask themselves the question:
before they proceed to perform the simplest duty
cnioined upon them by the trust con6ded to their
keeping by the people, "what effect will this
measure or this vote have upon my future pros.
poets"
We have had an abundance of this kind of
men elevated to office-we have superabun-
dance of them in nomination for State offices
now--and wish none of them placed in position
for County Offices, The Union men of Mary
land have FILTERED away their time, and en-
dangered the dearest interests Of the State sniff
GENTLY, in all conscience, with tender-toed can
1idates; men, whose professions Of Unionism are
as loud as the arch-angers trump, and whose
acts are as a rcpo OF sand.
We have, at present. n set of candidates in
nomination for Sla:e offices, claiming to be
Union nominees, who rely mainly on Secession
votes for their elcction--men who could not be
nominated or elected blythe Union men of Cecil,
to the most inconsiderahle County office
Let the loyal men, in the coming campaign,
show to the world, that they at least, mean all
they lave protested, Of love to the cause of the
country, and that they utterly repudate the
negro secession counting policy which has been
so much in fashion with Maryland candidates
for popular favor. Put up true men and you
will find them endorsed by the people
In reference TO district candidates, we have
only to remark, put men in nomination for
Supervisors who can and will mend n road.

BE Not DECEIVED. The public are par
ticularly cautioned against being deceived
by some persons who from ignorance, selfish
motives, or some other reason represent,
that Speer's Sambuci wine is made of elder
berries, or what is termed elderberry wine.
Speer's wine is no more elderberry wine
than pure port wine is cider, or that Held
sick champagne is gooseberry juice.
1t is we'll known fact that the name
elderberry wine is applied to a mixture of
juice, sugar and water, and sometimes cheap
liquor, in various proportions, forming d
cordial and not wine.
The Sambuci grapes, however, need no
such unnatural admixtures with their juice,
as they contain all the properties essential
ia rich, nutrative and valuable wine within
themselves. The thousands of physicians
in this country and Europe who are pre-
scrbing this wine as we'll as using It in their
own families in preference to all others, is
sufficient evidence of its superiority over
imported wines, as we'll as over the manu-
featured sugard stuff, often called native
wines. The only genuine Sambuc wine has
Mr.. Speer's signature over the cork of each
bottle. Its purity for communion wine
and its valuable properties for medical use
cannot be surpassed. Be not deccired.
