THE ELECTION FOR SCHOOL CoMMrs-
sIoNERs.-On Wednesday, last the election
throughout the county was held for School
Commissioners with the following RESULT

Union Commissioners were elected in all
the Districts but two. In the 7th District.
DR.. ]. Glacken was elected by one vote over
Jefferson Ramsay After this the Union
men of the 18th may hide their diminished
heads. The result is not merely humiliating,
but disgraceful. We have no comment to
make, but give place to the following con,
gratulatory address handed in by cores
pendent:
PoRT DErosIr, May 5th, 1864.
Mr.. EDITOR Permit me, through the
columns of The Wing, to congratulate the
people of the Seventh Election District of
Cecil county, on the election of Doctor Jos.
Glacken, as School Commissioner. over
Jefferson Ramsay, the former incumbent
1t is not often we have the privilege of an
nouncing so glorious a result. The thanks
of the moral portion of this community
should be rendered to those Union voters of
this District who preferred remaining at
home, rather than participate in an election
OF so little consequence to themselves and
children. To the rebels and rebel sympa-
thzers of the District our thanks are par
ticularly due for the selection of candidate
so worthy in every respect to represent them
in the board of School Commits sioners.
Truly the Secesh and one other element of
the tn District are well represented in their
candidate. Tours truly, JONES.

LIFE INsURANcE.-By reference to

LIFE lNsuRANcE.-By reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen that
the subject of Life Insurance is for the first
time prominently presented in this county.
The principles upon which Companies are
organized for this purpose are Thoroughly well
established, and have been tested by years
experience. By Life Insurance we secure
a provision for those whose support depends
upon the life of a particular individual
Companies are Sc guarded by the laws and
watched by them, that there is no chance for
dishonesty, if there was desire. There
are 40 companies in this country; we believe
there never was a failure among them. In
many localities Life INSURANCE is as general
as insurance against fire. So secure is the
investment, and SO beneficial are the results,
that the subject warmly commends itself to
every careful man.
F. A. Ellis, Esq, has had the agency of
the Etna for ~ years, but has recently
passed it to his son--Dr. c. M. Ellis. A
number of our citizens have insured in this
Company, and one loss of $4,000 was
promptly paid. 1t is one of the oldest com
panies, and no one is more liberal.

THE CAPTURE OF THE BLOCKADE RUNNER
MARY


We have the following interes ting parucu.
lars of the capture, by the U. S. steamer Grand
Gulf, of the notorious Anglo:rebel steamer
Mary Annie, one day from Wilmington, N. g.,
with a cargo of Sea Island cotton, turpentine,
rosin, and tobacco, with seventy two prisoners.
She is an iron side wheel steamer, Of 400 tons
burthen, built last May at Glasgow, on the
river Cldye, and OF the following dimensions:
Length on deck, 2l0 feet; breadth Of beam %
feet; depth of hole feet, with four water tight
compartments. She has two powerful in
clined engines, and double vertical tubular
boilers, with four furnaces attached to eachs
She is one of the fastest blockade runners ply
ing between the above ports, having success
FULLY run the blockade five times. She is re-
ported to be faster vessel than the Robt E
Lee, and 1t Is said she made nineteen statute
miles per hour on her trial trip.
The Grand Gulf sighted the Mary Annie at
daylight and chasing dead to windward, forced
her to throw overheard portion Of the cotton
which was slowed on deck, and she, although
light and in perfect running order, was over
hauled and captured in stern chase, which
is VIGOROUSLY a long one, by one of the very
cruisers concerning which the enemies Of the
Navy Department have made so much fault
finding.
The Grand G ulf, in November last, captured
the sister steamer, sBanshee''' the credit OF
which was given so hastily to the transport
steamer Fulton.
After the capture of the Mary Annie, the
Grand Gulf succeeded In recovering most of
the cotton thrown overheard.
The prize is to be sent to Boston.
