= The Baltimore merican th

- The Baltimore American thus
pointedly and briefly states the case of
Mr. Crisield and his associates
Our idea is to get rid of Slavery in
the State Of Maryland at the earliest
practicable moment that such result
can be obtained. Every Secessionsts
in the State will vote for Mr.. Mafflt,
Mr.. Crisfc.d and Mr.. Calvert, believing
that they will do all in their power to
procrastinate or retard Emancipation
These are reasons enough for us to OPP
pose their election, and we think reason
enough for every true Union man in the
State to do likewise.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

A PRIZE FIGHT SToppED.-Two fistic
worthless with their trainers took up their
abode at Charlcsto wn, in this county, on
Friday and Saturday last. Sheriff Cos
grove getting word on Saturday night, sum
moned possee, who went to Charlestown
on Sunday morning, and arreste d the par
ties, six in number, and lodged them in
the Elkton jail They had d hearing before
justice Bradbury on Monday, and were re-
leased by paying all expenses, and giving
bail in the sum of $4,000 to keep the peace.
The names Of the principals were Charley
Lynch, a well known English prize fighter,
and William S. Toal, better known as the
"Dubin Youth"
McCooll and Coburn got off so well with
their fight at Charlestown, that it seemed to
be taken for granted that Cecil was place
especially designated for the sports of the
ring, which erroneous impression was doubt
less strengthened by the illiberal comments
OF the Northern press on the fight between
the last named worthless which took place
at Charleston.
The prompt manner in which this last at
tempt Of two New York "pugs " to disgrace
the soil of Cecil has been met by our Off
GERS, will sorve as a warning in the future
to the hstic gents, that our county is an un-
safe place to indulge in the barborous sport
Of the ring.

- The President has issued Proc
lamation for 100000 volunteers to fill
up the depleted ranks which will be
caused by the expiration of the time of
service of large portion of the army
next Spring. The States are called
upon to make up their quotas by volun-
teering, and if they fail to do so by the

THE PRESIDENTS Reply TO DEPurATIoN
or SLAvEHoLDERS.-A deputation of slave
holders from Prince Georges county, Nd.
waited on the President to protest against
colored soldiers being sent up Patuxent
River to carry off the slaves from the plan
| tations, and enlist them as soldiers. The
deputation feared serious consequences
would ensue if this was not s.opped as the
presence of black soldiers among then
slaves tended to excite them to acts Of vio-
lcnce.
The President replied that so far as using
colored soldiers for this business was con-
cerned, that might be obviated and white
soldiers sent to collect slaves, but that the
Government had determined to compel all
slaves suitable for soldiers, not only in
Maryland, but in all the border States to
enter the army as soldiers; that they would
be taken and put into military service at
once, without regard to the wishes Of their
owners.
The necessities Of the country demanded
it, and it must be done. Nothing was said
during the interview about compelling the
owners Of slaves to permit enlistments
among them.

LARGE ToBACCo.-We we're shown,
last week, specimen stock of Tobacco,
raised by John Wilson, about four miles
north of North East, which measured seven
feet in height. This was an average stock
of lot containing about two hundred
plants, Of variety which the exhibitor
called "Spanish.'
At this rate, Cecil bids fair to rival old
Virginia in the cultivation of the Indian
weed.

AMONG the improvements in our town,

AMONG The improvements in our town,
we notice that John S. Rossell has fenced
up the lot he recently purchased in the rear
of his store, where he designs establishing
wood depot. He adyertises in Tie Hhg
for wood, and intends storing thousand
cords in his new yard.
This will be great convenience to the
people Of Elkton, as they will be able,
without difficulty, to procure a supply Of
good, dry wood at any time. A few more
men Of Mr.. Rossclls enterprise, and Elk,
ton will throw off her lethargy, and rival
some Of the western towns in industry

IMPORTANT DECIssIoN.-The case of
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad against the State of Maryland,
which was argued some time since in the
Court of Appeals by Ohio Scott and j. c.
Groome for the Railroad Company, and W.
j. Jones for the State, has just been decided
by affirming the judgment Of the Circuit
Court. This case is Familiarity known as
the Ash's Bridge case. The indlctmen
charged that the bridge at Ash,s Cut was
so narrow as to impede travel, and therefore
a nuisance. The judgment Of the Circuit
Court was " that the nuisance be abated by
the erection of a safe and convenient bridge,
so as not to impede the progress or trans
portation of persons or property along the
road" This Judgment having been ap-
proved, the Railroad Company will be COM
PEELED to build new, wider and more con
venicnt bridge, instead of the Reconstructed
affair which now crosses the road at this
point.

A Friendly Hint.

We beg leave respectfully to suggest to the
Curator of the rooms Of the Natural History
Society that he procure copy Of the Eastern
Argus containing the proceedings of the late
so-caled Democratic State Convention in this
city, in which are spread the names and resi-
dences of the members, the virus of their
speeches and the resolutions they promulga-
ted, and that he have the precious sheet prop
erly framed and glazed and hung on the walls.
II it be so curious thing to see single spi-
der caught in amber, what a curiosity must it
be to behold such an immense number of cop
perheads thus caught at once and fixed forev-
er in the slime of the Argus. Past all wrig-
Cling there they stick! safe to the observer
safe to the timid gaze of women and children
there they are firm and fast.
The Hartford Conventionists, if they had
been similarly caught and preserved, would
be no such astonshment as these will become
as time wears on. Indeed, as a speculation
alone, and without regard to the interests OF
science, it would be worth the Curator's while
to do this. Hereafter some of these men-or
if themselves past shame, their children and
their children's children-would be glad richly
to endow the society for the privilege of era
sing single name from that awful record.

To the Editor of the Press:


Monsieur-Allow me to place a word or two
in your valuable paper, in answer to letter
published yesterday in the Press and signed
Ferd. Subt. Every one has remarked its i'll
natured tone, so | will not dwell Oh that point
Three days after its publication, learned
who was the writer OF the article signed " An
American" aud / know that American to be
above noticing such attacks.
AS anger especially in discussion shows
bad breeding and weak argument, am going
TO try to be as sweet as honey, as pleasant as .
Swiss lnountaineer playing the "RanZ des Va
ches."
In America, England and in all the countries
where the French language is taught, they
understand by Partisan teacher man not
only born in Paris, but brought up and educa-
ted there. Ii he be born accidentally in Paris
and educated in another country, the home of
his parents, let us suppose Switzerland, they
consider him a Swiss, specially Swiss teach
err. What would any one think of a man born
in Cambridge and educated in Canada coming
TO Portland and announcing himselfas teach
er from Cambridge? Every one would say
he is an imposter
Now Prof. Subit says he is a Partisan teach
er, he teaches the pure Partisan accent: that
implies he is Partisan not only by birth but
by education. Would Mr.. Subit be kind
enough to tell us in what college he has studi-
ed and graduated in Paris? If he cannot tell
us as much he will be in the position of the
Cambridge man.
| hope | have argued with eamness and
politeness; would it be too much to expect
the same of Mr.. s.?
Very grateful for your kindness, Mr.. Editor,
our servant,
