TIE Hucksteys at the city markets cease their
reign OF terror this morning, if the new or
dinance is properly enforced, and housekeep.
ers and Others are once more at liberty to
buy from producers only at first cost. The
ordinance distinctly declares that no one
living within ten miles of Richmond shall
offer for sale any of the necessarics Of life
not produced, raised. or caught by them. It
does not say, and did not mean to say, that
hucksters residing here can sell articles
brought beyond the ten miles limit, but that
both the seller and the goods sold must come
from beyond that limit, unless the articles
offered were produced, raised, or caught by
the seller within the limits. Surely the
clerks and the market committees will exert
themselves to have this ordinance enforced.
and the people relieved of a tax that has been
truly oppressive for years.

STATE OF MARYLAND, EX'vE CHAMBER,
(, Annapolis, Oct. 26, 1861
Major. General ~ r. Banks, U s. a.:
My Dear Sir: should have written at an
earlier day, but delayed for return of Geo.
W. Howard, who had been sent down tine
Potomac by Major-Gen Mcclellan, and soon
after his (ETs) return the papers represented
you to have gone with your forces into Vir-
ginia. Indeed, dislike to occupy moment
of your closely occupied time, and write
now only because I feel it due from mo, in
view of your uniform courtesy and kindness
to me, Of which / shall always entertain
most grateful recollect,ons.
You will excuse me, am sure, for suggest
ing the importance Of looking closely to
Maryland until our election is over, 9th Nov.
The Confederates will endeavor TO effect
something by which to operate on our cleo
tions. You may suppose, my dear sir, that
! am anxious to have killing majority
rolled up against secessionism. Not only
am and is Maryland deeply interested, but
the Government is greatly concerned. Will
1t be possible to have Col. Kenly's regiment
placed. near Baltimore temporarily, go as to
save their votesS hope So
have the honor to be,
With very great respect,
Your ob't serv't,
Tho. f. HICKS.
