ENROLLING IN CEcIL.-The Enroll
ing Officers for this county were qualified
and entered on their duty early the present
week. The officers of the Sixth District,
had written notices served upon them by
being stuck up where the officers would be
sure to see them, threatening to burn their
property if they dared TO serve, and if that
would not do, they were promised ball or
two in addition. If any rebel sympathi.
Ger y should make the attempt to carry out
those threats, he villas he richly deserves
be shot in his tracts
If our domestic rebels open the ball bv
burning Enrolling Officers property, or
w"ylaying the officers while in the perform.
ance of their duty, they will find in Cecil
hotter work than " taking the oath y or
being I" sent south"

folly Of protecting negroes from military
duty to stalk about home enjoying all the
