ALBERT G. JENKINS.

Editors IntszIGyenctr:
If anything had been wanting to render
the name heading this article perfectly
odious and disgusting to mankind, that
lack has been fully supplied by the inhu-
man and diabolical murder of the yenera-
BILE and heroic Andrew Waggoner, of Ma
son county, on Monday last. His friends
may urge every apology and. exteuuation
that they can invent, bat to no purpose.
The horrible fact stands out in bold relief,
and future generations remember him with
sickening disgust as the murderer of this
venerable octogenariau( known throughout
the country as ''the Hero of Crany Islandp)
long after the memory of the infamous ma
rauder and horse thief of Western Virgil
MIA would have faded into oblivion.
1t is 10 palliation OF apology to say that
there was no malice aforethought-no ip-
tention to commit the murder-that the
sole object of tue expedition was to steal
and plumber, and not to murder, &C.; for
every novice ia criminal law knows that
crime committed while in the preparation
of an unlawful act is no less inexcusable
though there may not have been the malice
atorethought; and horse stealing and rob.
berry are certainly unlawful acts. Neither
| does it relieve the case of any of it's
odium to plead that Jenkins and his sub.
ordinate thief Fitzhugh, were, during the
entire fight hid behind a rock outside OF
the town. 1t only proves that they had
not the courage to share the dangers with
the miserable dupes whom they had insti-
gated to the perpetration Of the horrid
crimes that cost many OF them their infa.
nous lives. If there were even any pal
lIatlon to the guilt of those misguided rag
mullins on the score of ignorance, no such
excuse can in any way apply to them.
Would to heaven that this foul stain upon
humanity could be located somewhere else
upon this sin-stricken planet than in our
own virgin State of West Virginia! But
tnank heaven resting place for the sole
OF the foot of such miscreat cannot be
found upon her sofia more Significant
mark than that of Cain will rest upon the
forehead of the murderer of Andrew War-
goner to the close of his black and dis.
graceful career, which believing as. we do in
the retrlbutiVe justice of heaven, cannot be
long deferred-his last thieyiug expedition
into Western Virginia was distinguished by
the shooting of an unotfendiug deaf mute
near Racine, the present one by the cool
and deliberate murder of Andrew Wac.

Negro Enlistment.

Do tho people of this county realize
that draft has been ordered to take
place on the 5th of next January, and
that our quota under the last call fol
troops is not yet full
A lethargy appears to have overtakc .
and possessed US, and we are doing moth
ing, whatever, to prevent it by aiding
and encouraging enlissments. Cecil
county has done admirably in the way
Of raising volun GERS for the Union army;
but she has yet much to do. The Gov
eminent needs and must have more men.
The only way to put down the Rebellion
is by force of arms; and if men cannot be
induced to volunteer, they must be con-
scripted. 1t may be hard, but there is
no help for it. And it Is our duty to
aia in every possible way in the raising
of soldiers.
The following table shows the quota
of this Congressional district under the
last call, and also, the number of yolan-
teers raised between the first of July
last, and the frat Of the present month.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1863-12-26

From thi. table i. will be seen that the
quota Of the district is about $500,
while only about 2,l00 had been obtain
ed up to December. We Judge the quo
ia will be filled without draft but it
is only short time till the 9Th of Janu-
airy, when the district will have to fur
nish about 1000 more men.
Now, we believe that if the proper eff
forts had been made, more than enough
of colored troops could have been raised
in the dlstriat to prevent the impending
draft. There are several hundred stout
able bodied black men in this county,
who would enlist if any inducement was
held GU. to, or even if any encourage
ment was given them. Why should no.
something be done in the matter Why
should not some effort be made to pro-
tect ourselves FROM the draft, and at the
same time to render the Government in
valuable assistancef Let US 80 to work
at once, and do all We can 10 encourage
