LUMBERING.-The preparations for
numbering here this winter are on a scale
far exceeding anything ever contemplated
before in this place and if any evidence of
our growth and prosperity were wanting
this alone would be sufficient. 1t is cal

out this winter, and this estimate is rather
under than over the amount of logs which
will be run down Thunder Bay River next
spring. Thunder Bay Monitor, Oct IA,

which was that he wanted to devote oil his
time to the Shield. Judging from the mp
pearancc of said Shield, it might be inferred
that tic DEVIL used it to wipe off the
forms.
The half sheet never was fit to take hold
of, except for few issues, while an ex-
devil from The Hing Office (who is now in
the army had the management of it. We
speak here of the mechanical features Of
the Shield, its literary pretensions are on a
par with its outward appearance.
The very latest joke the brilliant Editor
of this secession half sheet, has perpetrated,
is to publish great dearth of aspirants for
political favors in Worcester county the
present Fall, and if no one else is found
willing to make hard fight" for the
State Senatorship, he, modest soul, will
certainly do it. No doubt the man of the
Shield will swear as hard and drink as much
rum as any other secesh in bad disguise.

Negro Enlistment.

With what melancholy wall the Kent
Neps bemoans the enlistment Of slaves. 1t
is rank injustice-a violation of all law
a total disregard of Constitutional guaran-
tees, and finally, the entire ruin of business
is threatened by this wonderful infringement
upon this special prerogative of the slave
holders.
There was no such hue and cry, however,
heard from the Nc,cs, when the fifth of
Cccirs voting population volunteered to
serve their country. 1t was not COM
planned of as liable to work inconvenience.
to the agricultural, Or any other, interest of
the county. This was all very patriotic /;
they were only white men, and their alb
sence from the county would never be felt.
Shareholders inaugurated this rebellion.
If they won, they expected to be the gamers
by it. They have lost, and must suffer the
calamitics that follow in its train
These same men who complain the loudest
in slave counties of Maryland are among
those who literally drove their sons into the
rebel armies, at the outbreak of the rebel
lion. Are their negroes more dear to them
than their own blood? The Constitution
which they flee behind for protection in the
hour when their fear cometh, was violated
when they sent their sons to make war upon
their country, and a contract between two
parties, when broken by one, is not binding
on the other. Had there been no slave sys-
TEN in the Union, there would have been
no war. If the slave alistocracy had bee0
satisfied with equal rights, they wonld not
have commenced a rebellion to break up the
Government, which has made it necessary
for the government to enlist slaves to fill the
places of white men whom the shareholders
sons from Maryland have helped to slay -
The government now takes the fathers
negroes for the sons to shoot. Let them
lay down their arms, if they would not de-
stroy their own property.

WAR NEW y.

Richmond papers received at Old Point
contain dispatches from Atlanta which say
that reports from Braggs army are conflict
ing. Rosecrans is terrifying himself at Chat
tanooga, and the Rebel lines extended TO
within four miles of the place. The des-
patch, which is dated on the 18th, reports
no fighting on the day previous. Bragg had
rejected two applications from Rosecrans,
asking permission to bury his dead and re-
lieve his wounded. The Charleston papers
are concerned about the critical state Of
affairs, and think that Bragg's failure to re-
game East Tennessee embarasses matters
in Northern Virginia, where the Unionists
are threatening q general attack on the line
of the Rapidan.
Another Bread riot broke out in Mobile
on the fourth of this month As in the
former disturbance, the women of the city
composed it, openly declaring that if the au-
thoritles did not devise some means to re-
lieve their sufierings, they would burn the
place down. General Maury, the Rebel
commander, ordered out the Seventeenth
Alabama Regiment to suppress the riot, but
they refused to do duty, and the Mobile
Cadets, who chivarously attempted to put
down the women, were defeated, and forced
to fly. The parolcd prisoners from Penn
berton's army, who are at Nicksburg, are
suffering for want of care and provisions.
-Everything is reported quiet on the
Rapidan. Monday the Mexican General
Cortez was present and reviewed the Fifth
Army Corps. A large number Of deserters
have been returned to their regiments, who
will be tried, and if found guilty, puni shed
vigorously. The recent executions have
had most salutary effect in preventing fur
ther dcsertions. The army is being largely
increased by the arrival Of conscripts, and
the recent order from the War Department,
which pronounces our paroled prisoners ex-
changed, will add largely to our forces on
the Rapidan and elsewhere.

First Congressional District.

We understand there is q movement in
progress for the nomination of Colonel John A
j. Creswel, Of Cecil county Gin the place of
w. j. Jones, Esq, declned) in opposition to
Hon. J. w. Cristeld, in the First Congressional
District.
In view of the course of Mr.. Crsfield in the
last Congress his election would not crafty
the loyal sentiments of the State. The time for
trusting doubtful men in the National councils
has passed. No man should be sent up to
Congress from Maryland during the progress of
the rebellion who maintains that there is any
distinction between the government and the
officers entrusted by the people with its admin
istration. The Administration must be sus-
tanned if the Government is worth preserving,
and it would be folly to vote for men in this
crisis of our country who do not fully and unre
scrvedly avow themselves in favor of every
measure deemed necessary by the President and
his Cabinet for the preservation Of the National
liberties.
The above is copied from the Baltimore
american of Thursday. Mr.. Jones having
declined for reasons stated in his letter pub
lished in another column, we would urge
the Unconditional Union men of the Dist,
to lose no time in presenting Col. Creswell
as candidate in opposition to Mr.. CIisfeld,
and all other lodging Unionists. Give us
an out and out union man, or whole Seces-
sonist, and then we know what we are about.
Its about time dodgers were put out of the
way. In order that no time be lost and that
the people be consulted en- mass, about the
nomination, we suggest that the Mass Union
Meeting, to be held at Elkton on Tuesday
next, place candidate for Congress before
the union men Of the LIST district, worthy to
receive their votes at the November election.
And as candidate most worthy to supply
the present blank on the union ticket we
would suggest the name of Col. j. A. J.
Creswell of Elkton.

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing
Letter from Zion.


Mr.. EprroR Once more | take up my
quill to jot down the very few items have
in store. My letter must necessarily be
very Short but hope what have to say
may be news tc you. The good people of
this place, like many others throughout the
county, are becoming deeply involved i'll
the whirlpool Of politics.
Indeed, MIR. Editor, a great change has
come over the minds of many since | last
wrote you. No longer do we find those
doubling which way to cast their vote at the
coming election, for their eyes have been
opened to the fact that all cannot be right,
when there are so many boiling candidates,
and those upon whom the suspicion of dis
loyalty rests, placed before the people as
the legitimate nominees of the Anti Admin
istration party. We have all heard Of the
famous speech of the valiant Colonel, who
could, without the least difficulty, swallow
their hope for Comptroller, "plank and
all. We know few of our citizens will
swallow the Colonel, but they only intend
to treat him as the whale did Jonah of old
-'vomlt HIM out on dry land.
The Methodists have been holding their
protracted meeting at Zion church for
few weeks past. On Sunday evening, the
Rev. Mr.. PaXson, their pastor, preached
very effective sermon; using as the basis of
his remarks the mourntul reply of King
Agrppa to the argument of the Apostle
Paul, - Almost thou persuades me to be
Christian The close attention which was
given to his discourse, proved that he
awakened an interest in his congregation,
and many, no doubt, were almost persuaded
to leave the path ofvice and sin, and lead "a
christians life.
The crops appear to be not little injured
by the late trosts. Our farmers have almost
finished their corn cutting
The pic mic came off, as published, on
Friday, and was repeated on Saturday.
Not many were present; but we learn that
those who were there enjoyed themselves
very much.

GENTLEMEN Your letter of 22d inst, in
forming me of my nomination, AS II candidate
for Congress, by the Unconditional Union Con-
vention, was received this morning.
Sometime before the meeting of that Conven-
ton, l had been nominated by the Union men
of this county, a candidate for the Lcgisla-
ture, in spite of the fact, that | expressly made
known to the Convention, my desire not to be
candidate for any official position, ut the COM
ing election. Looking upon this canvass us
beyond question more important, to the
| cause of popular government than any one which
has occurred ut least, within my recollection,
and as destined to settle the questions whether
the labor d my native State shall be committed
to free white men, or left to languish with the
stupid, impracticablc negro, and whether we
should retain in our Constitution that degrading
basis of representation which makes an intclli-
gent free white citizen of Cecil the political
equal of the negro slave of st Mary's,-l de-
sired to be. free from the rammels which always
more or less bind IL candidate, SO that l might
the more effectively present these issues to the
people Notwithstanding this, the Convention
determined to put me on the ticket. 10 accept
your nomination, would compel me to decline
this, and feel that my first duty is to my tel-
low citizens of my own county, among whom
| have lived from my birth, with whom all my
| interests are identified, whose good opinion
| value more than any political positrion, howeve
| high, and at whose hands | have always re-
ceived such generous and unstnted support.
l am compelled therefore, to decline your
| nomination, but do so with the earnest hope
that some one will be found better fitted than
am for the duties of this canvass Gentlemen,
who adhere with blind pertinacty to the opn.
ions of two years ago, are not the men for these
times, however respectable in talents or social
position. In the swift march of events and
ideas, which characterize the present, two years
are life time Because our fathers gathered
! their harvests with the sickle, and were right
shall we do likewise in the face Of patent reap
ers
trust there will be such canvass of the
District as will thoroughly arouse the people. to
a proper appreciation of the questions which
grow out of these stirring times.
