LEVY LIST
Of AlIegany County for 1861.

In accordance with Section OF Article 70
of the Code of Public General Laws .; Mary
land, the subjoincd Statement is published.
The undersigned decn it proper to accom-
pany the same with few words of explanation.
The grcss amount of the assessment OF the
county for thc present year is 50, l2s, 544; last
wear the amount was SO, 1876, OFF, showing an
increase of 1898, 472. The assessment books
have been thoroughly revised, and are now in
a more clear and satisfactory condition than
they have been for sometime past. All the in-
solvent taxablcs have been struck oil, and many
new ones added to the list, which was the work
of much labor and pains.
The levy for the county expenses for The cur
rent year amounts to the sum of sos, 63s 81
being considerably larger than it was the last
year; the percentage being 73cents OH the $500.
This increase in the levy and percentage was
wholly beyond the control of the undersigned
The enormous increase in the prices of every
article of life has contributed largely to that
end. A few heavy items in the levy list, in
which the Commissioners had no discretion,
can be specified, which, of themselves, viii
nearly account for the increase. The sum OF
$40, T66 &C was demanded and levied for the
support of the schools of Allegany county, and
$4,000, uuder the obligatory provisicas OF the
Act of 1864, chapter 303, was appropriated for
the repair of the road leading from Barrellville,
by way of Frestburg, to Westernport. like
sum will be found in the list for the erection OF
a bridge across Big Yough at Sang Run. Sew
eral other bridges came in for necessary pror,s-
ion There was also u deficiency of nearly
81, 600 in the levy of last year for Court en-
pcnses The neglected and bad condition OF
the roads imperatively required increased APP
proprations therefor.

NOTES OF TRAVEL.

We left Charlotte on the 9th ult and after a
rather crowded but otherwise pleasant ride over the
railroads. We reached the pleasant busy, busting
town of SuIuter, where found the South Carolina
Conference holding its annual session. The preach
and strangers brought together by the occasion
taxed, the Ii beraty and hospitality of the citizens
to rather unusual extent, but with open doors
and hands and hearts they met the occasion. and |
am happy to say that their ample resources were
equal to the emergency. As this ny FIRST visit,
l passed about with my eyes open and took notes
of what saw aud heard. but with no intent at the
time of printing them: But as a small tribute to
the kindness of those among whom my lot was cast
for the time. | have seen proper to pen these few
jottings by the way of occasional traveller.
There are a great many worse places than Sum-
ter, and in our future perigrnatons shall find it
very difficult to pass this beautiful town of sand and
shade trees without stopping. The attendance Of
the preachers was very large, considering the times
and the number that absent chaplains i'm the

preaching talent, and presided with chris

of the most able and eloquent pulpit efforts it has
ever been our pleasure to listen to. The puiPits
of most of the churches were occupied by members
of the Conference, and sermons of searching power
cOucbed in words that burn. were delivered 10
crowded and attentive congregations. The veneer

and effect, and was responded to in most eloquent

preachers the familiar face of many old acquain-

days, and are happy to say that our recent visit
enabled TO add several new ones 10 the list. We
bid adieu to Sumter with heart alive with kind
and sympathstic emotions awakened by the hearty
welcome and kind treatment Of the many friends we
met And in trayerdng the chequred path Of light
and shade, OF calm and storm. of smiles and tears
that may yet lie before US, fond memory will often

short days ut our sojourn, the friendly hand Of
generous and unstinted liberalty. On our return
we had opportunity of testing the courtesy and
accommodating dispositions of some of>the officers
Of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad. and
of the South Carolina Railroad company, aud we
are happy to state that we found them fully up to
schedule time in every particular No lady need
be under any apprehensions in travelling unattended
either of these roads. Our stay at Kiugsville
was longer than could have wished, unless the
accommodations had been better. That place has
had its day, and is now living on the shadowy
collections of its former reputation. On reaching
the depot at Columbia we took a coach and four,

avoid service in the army, and made their way
through our lines to Norfolk, have gained nothing

Butler has ordered every man who arrives under
such circumstances, to be arrested aud placed in
