The question is asked every day" What Is
the Legislature doing III regard to 'bounties?
We can only refer them to the record Of its
published proceedings.
Had proper bounty law been passed two
weeks ago many men would have been
credited to Maryland who are now serving
in regiments raised IN other States. On
the first day of next month Government
bognlles cease; on the tenth the draft will
begin, and we have twenty five thousand
men to rasc!
Neghboring States. by the payment of
large hounties, arc Offering inducements to
our citizens that We cannot expect them to
resist, and the failure of this State and city
to enter into competition makes 0ur terri
tory available for them and worthless to us.
The bill under consideration in the Lcgs
latnre, oil, ring two hundred dollars, to be
paid in instruments, would be OF no utility
where it a law to-day. If the State Of Mary
land, with an OVERLOOKING treasury. can
afford to pay down only one hundred dollars.
and the halanccin instruments while Conncc

money-pay it, too, at the time when the

not trust him with two hundred dollars, for

your hands. EnIsting is an act of volition,

GENERAL complaint is made in regard
to railroad facilities in the way of travel
from our town. Only one train to Phil
adelphia stops here in daylight and one
about ten o'clock at night and two to
Baltimore-one between ten aud eleven
in the forenoon, and one at half past
four p. m. The Sunday train has ceased
to stop. We are promised, in lieu of
the present inconvenience, double track
to Elkton by next May, and train be-
tween this station and Philadelphia. So
if this report be true there is good
time promised whether it ever be realiz-
ed or not. The Inconvenience to our
citizens of the present railroad arrange
ment is very much felt.
More trains could, without any loss of
time, stop here, the slight detention be-
ing easily made up between here and the
river. The amount of freighting and
travel from and to this place, entities it
to more facilities from the Company than
it receives.

DR.. G. c. NJ. Robe.'s, of Baltimore.
On the night Of its dedication ! commenc-
ed q protracted meeting which lasted hive
weeks and, with the exception OF one even
ing there were penitent souls at the altar
from its commencement to its close.
1t was a meeting of extraordinary interest
throughout, by which the membership was
built IN in The most holy faith and twenty
five or thirty wandering sinners brought back
to God.
About so Yards from the church stands n
saw mill and attached to it, small cabin
for sawvers In this cabin the boys of the
neighborhood have been in the habit, for
several years, of holding mock prayer meet
ings, and there, on Tuesday night, Dec. %,
they gathered for q similar purpose; the
meeting began with singing and cxhortaton,
after which they all knelt in prayer, one
leading aloud-when he closed all got up
but one. Thinking he was in jest, they be-,
gan singing over him. and continued for
some time. After they thought he had car
ricd the joke far enough. they commenced
pulling and finally kicking him to make him
get up; but when they got him up in one
place he was down in another, crying for
mercy, and he continued for two or three
hours. He then threw by his garments of
mourning and came forth clad in the garb of
rejoicing, new creature in Christ Jesus
saying o those around him -" Sing; Good
news gone to Canaan" His condition,
while in the state of deep conviction, became
quite alarming 10 those around and having
patient they knew not what to do with.
they sent off for help; but when it arrived
it avaled not to divest him Of his grief, un-
I til, as | have before said, he was enabled TO
rejoice. Many of the young comrades were
seized with conviction.
The two sawyers look solemn, end say
they " saw strange things that n light And
some of those who saw it cannot speak OF
