Mr.. EDITOR You were right. certainly
in part. in what you said last week about
the proposed shinplaStcr issue by the Town
Commissioners. Whether all the Commits
sloners, or only those who sign the notes.
or whether any Of them are individually liza
bic Is a question yet to be decided. Bat
upon the other point, viz that the corpor-
alton is not liable there cannot arise sim
Gle question. The issue of these notes is
declared illegal by the code, and the corpor.
alton cannot possibly be bound by the lille
gal acts Of the Commissioners. The citizens
will thus see what security they have for the
redemption Of these notes. They will be
lett to the uncertainties of law suit to as
certain whether the individual property Of
the Commissioners Is liable, and, should
this very doubtful question be decided in
the negative. they will have their drawers
and pockets filled with filthy trash not worth
the paper upon which it is printed.
The present Board Of Commissioners will
have just three months Of official life after
about long enough to issue, but not to re-
deem six thousand dollars. Who can say
what the next board will do? But admit
that new board are ever so much inclined
to redeem | say that the court will, if the
matter is properly brought to its notice,
restrain hy injunction, which the Commits,
sloncrs dare not disobcy, the redemption of
one dollar OF these notes. Our citizens will
thus see how utterly destitute OF security is
this proposed rag issue, and if they are pru.
dent will not take one single five cent ticket
of it.
In the meantime it strikes me, that if the
State 5 Attorney did his duty. he would have
the issuing Of the notes restrained by in
junction. ANTI SHlNrLASTER.

MURDER NEAR CHEsTERTowS. MD

MURDER NEAR CHEsTERTowN, MD -
We learn that most dastardly murder
occurred near Chestertown, Nd, on Tues
day last, by a young man named Perkins
shooting an old man named Matthew C.
Wood through the brain, killing him instant
ly. The difficulty originated several years
ago over the sale of land between Wood and
the father OF young Perkins. The amnesty
increased until the former had to have the
latter bound over to keep the peace. Thus
matters went on until Tuesday morning,
when young Perkins met Wood (apparently
premedtated) and, without exchanging a
word, fired a bullet through his brain, and
discharged two more loads at him after he
fell. Perkins was almost Immediately
arrested, and is now in the custody of the
Sheriff. Wood formerly resided in Back
Creek Neck, in this county.

Anorher senre nt wheeling.

Considerable excitement was Occasioned
in Wheeling, on Saturday, by the an
nouncement that the rebel raiders had
forced northward again, crossed the
Northwestern Branch RosdfrOm Parkers-
burg to Grafton, and were making to-
wards Wheeling via MiddlebOurne, Tyler
county. The 18th Regiment Of Militia
was re-assembled, and came in about
eleven o'clock with martial music and
flags. It was soon ascertsined, however,
that the rebels were not north of the rail-
rosd in force. On Sunday evening relis-
BE reports came in that the rebels were
eight hundred strong at MidGlebOurne, on
Saturday morning, and had moved
some distance toward New Martinsburg.
They stole all the horses they could get,
and moved toward EllsnbOro.

No COmmHniccrion with the Army.

The difficulty in obtaining q conduct to
the army, writes q Washington cOrrespOn-
dent, exceeds all belief. 1t is stated that
General Hooker has emphatically request
ed, if not demanded, that there shall be
no communication whatever with the
army, except with those who are part and
parcel Of the army. Newspaper CORES
pondents have given up all possible hope
Of reaching, for some time to come, within
many miles Of the headquarters Of the
army. Those who come down here to en-
ouire for the welfare Of wounded friends,
and hope to aid them in getting to their
homes, come here in vain. When the in
terdict will be removed, it is impossible to
say. For the present, however, a trip to
Falmouth, via Washington, or via any
other way, is beyond all hope.

Emigration 20 Canada.


The Toronto Globe says it is now quite
apparent that the emigration to Canada
this year will be very large. Mr.. Buchsn-
an, the chief agent in Liverpool, states that
between january LIST and April I'd, 675
~emigrants started for our shores, most of
whom were possessed of small sums Of
o wherewith to buy farms. The
steamer HUnited Kingdom" brought 443
passengers-respectsble farmers, agricul-
tural laborers and domestic servants. The
IL Waverley " sailed on the 9th for Quebec,
with 287 passengers from the neighborhOod
of Coventry, among whom are a number of
females. The "Angleses sailed on the
18th ult. with 300 passengers; and at Ply
mouth, Glasgow, Londonderry, and New
Ross, says Mr.. Buchanan, "vessels are on
the berth, with every prospect Of being
filed with passengers for Quebec" In ad-
dition to these in consequence Of the diff
culties in the way Of getting suitable YES

The Chicago Tribune has news from the

The news from Grants advance is con-

By Union sources he is said to have c.

Wednesday last. The battle commenced
early in the morning snd continued till
midnight, Bowen falling back on jackson.

On the contrary the Secession sources
say that large forces are on the way from
Charleston and Mobile, to prevent the
capture Of Vicksburg, and annihilate
Grants army, they attacking in 'front.'
while the force at Vicksburg attacks his
real.
One report says Grant being apprised Of
this state Of affairs, is falling back toward
the river to wait for reinforcements, and
where he can have the assistance of gun
boats.
