The time has now arrived when the Union
men of every section of our county and
State should commence to form thorough
organizations, not for the purpose of secur-
ing Office to party iavorites-tor the people
in the present crisis know no tnyorites OK
cept those who stalrl foremost in the adro-
cacy Of alt means to put down the traitors
but for the purpose Of sustaining and up
holding the arms of the Government, by
yielding cordial support, morally and
materially, to those in whose hands the
administration of public affairs has been
placed. TO this end the Union men of the
ord Election District held a meeting on
Tuesday evening last in the Court House.
the proceedings of which will be found else
where in to-day's Uhig. No man who loves
his country and the interests Of mankind
can stand idly by and watch the march of
| events without lending his mite to help on.
ward the cause which is nearest to every
loyal and true heart. The support of the
people should he rendered to the Govern
ment in every conceivable mode, and in no
manner can it be so thoroughly rendered as
through administration majortics in Con-
gress and in the State Legislatures. To
This end united effort should be at once
commenced throughout our State and coun-
ty. to bring the whole Union strength to
bear. in turning the Election in the ap.
preaching Autumn, in favor of the Govern
mcnt to the end of suppressing and over
throwing the rebellion, if by that time it has
not been squclchcd.
We say to tho loyal men of Cecil ORGAN
IZE SO as to check mate enectually the
Vaccinations Of rebel cmssarics, and pro-
sect the weak, the doubling, and wavering
who need but clear understanding of pub.
lie affairs to cooperate heartily with the
unyieldng and answering men of the
nation and who may be influenced and
turned aside from the path of duty to their
country by coppcrLcad wiles if left unpro-
icctcd.

Lieutenant Colonel Fish.

We have watched with real delight the
| summary and spirited dealing Of this officer
with the "secesh' of Baltimore. Nothing,
We are sure, can so strike terror into the
heart of one Of the Maryland advocates of
Jeff Davis as the prospect of visit to his
dominiuns. No matter how enthusiastic
their praises of "thc South :" no matter
how much the achievements of 'Stonewall'
and Lee may be laudcd no matter how
much they may insist that the Southerners
are bound 10 win and that in the golden
future beautiful kingdom must rise, whose
chief basis shall be the degradation of
human beings, and in which brutes in the
shape of man owners shall whip niggers all
the day, and drink bad whisky all the
night no matter how much they declare
their desire to Ego South if they had Il
chance, JUST whisper to Baltimore rebel
the talismanic name of "Flsh.'' and his
knee. Immediately strike together with fear.
lie at once becomes u good Union man,
but opposed to the war;"
Had the policy of General Schenck ably
conducted as it is by Col Fish-been car
ried out from the beginning, Maryland
would to day be free from rebels Had this
General and the gentlemen composing his
staf.-none of whom knor any Baltimore
rcbcs-bccn placed in Maryland one year
ago, instead Of the fossilized granny and his
swarm Of adventures, who oppressed the
loyal people for many weary months, the
Union cause would have had ten thousand
more advocates to-day than 1t now has
We believe with General Schenck that
there can be in the country but two classes
of persons the one unequivocally for the
Government By rhomsocrcr administered, the
other unequivocaly against it. We believe
also that one of these two classes must
succumb to the other We want the latter
class to do just this thing, and we there
fore most cordially endorse the stern and
relentless justice Of Provost Marshal Fish.
The Union men Of Cecil, whose bold
dcnunciation of the rebellion first reused
the loyal heart of the State, secure in their
position and daily increasing in strength

ready TO strike down the accursed cause of
| the revolution as the revolution itself, have
no fears of the rebels in their midst. They
are amply competent and willing to deal
with them but in cities like Baltimore, and
counties such as Anne Arundel, Howard
and Worcester, where sccessionists abound,
the loyal people should be rejoiced when
ever traitor is sent across the line. We
believe they do, for the really loyal men OF
that portion of the State are in earnest
about their work. Therefore we say again,
let us honor Col. Fish for doing his duty,
no matter who it strikes, whether it be trail
tors in Union livery or in the full attire OF
rebellion.

enty-fve or eighty. He had lived in the
neighborhood OF Elkton all his life and he
used to like to relate his stories of the past
to crowd of "white folks In his
younger days he belonged to Col. Richard.
ardson; but had been free for long time.
He could give glowing description of the
burning Of Frenchtown by the British, and
their visit to Cedar Point. He said he
helped to haul the gravel to make the
causeway beyond the bridge also to make
the bricks to erect the old bank building -
For a number of years past Joe has always
got up 4h of July display on his own
hook. Like all ignorant people, he was
fond of display and when he was dressed
in an old State uniform, with n giants mill
tary hat, with ponderous feather in it, and
had drum, he cut figure that was laugha-
Bile in the extreme. In this costume, beating
his drum, whistling in imitation Of the
fife, and followed by crowd of miscellaneous

citizens of the town. His oddities have
