The anomalous condition of things in
Maryland, brought about by the recent
State election and subsequent proclama-
ton Of Gov. BRADFORD, by which the ne
gro population are declared free, las made
great confusion among the agricultural
classes. The latter are now endeavoring
to conform to existing facts and take such
concerted action as their interests require.
Accordingly, the farmers of Prince
Georges county, at public meeting,
adopted resolutions recommending that
negroes should not be employed hereafter,
except by The year, and that no induce
ments be offered to any negro to leave his
present employer. Another resolution
fixes the rate of wages to be paid for agri-
cultural labor. The Port Tobacco Times
remarks:
Since slavery has been suddenly abolished in
our midst, cHecting complete change in the
relations of the labOring classes to their for
mer masters, and casting loose upon the COM
munity class of persons who must subsist BY
lapor OF steallng, IL must be apparent to every
one who has the welfare of the community at
heart that general understanding and agree
ment is absolutely necessary among all engag-
ed IN agricultural pursuits as to the compen-
sation that should be given, and the terms of
service required of free negro laborers. This
class of laborers has heretofore afforded but
poor dependence, owing to their unwilling
ness to engage to do service for longer periods
than day, week, or a month at time.
From the nature of our productions, short pc
riods of service will not be found to answer at
all, and this matter should be prominently
brought before the meeting. Believing that If
firm stand be taken at once BY our people,
mutual benefit will result to them and the ne
gro laborers, we can but express the hope that
the meeting will be generally attended by
the people OF the county, and that they will
give to the subject that consideration which
its importance demands.

The Press editor claims that he predict
ed long beforehand the exact movements
that have since been undertaken by GRANT
and SHERMAN, and takes considerable
credit to himself for strategic intuition. {"
We shall not dispute his claims, but would
ask how many of his predictions yet re-
main unfulilled; and as further test of
his "intuition, would respectfully request
him to trace in advance the movements of
our armies for the next six months

FINANCIAL questions are of far more i'm
portance to-day to every citizen of the
land, even to abolitionists, than the future
status Of the negro The New York COM
merciM now AYERS that ardent supporters
of the administration have serious misgiv-
ings as to the possibility of conducting the
national finances upon the policy inaugu-
rated by Mr.. CHASE, but that they have
hitherto been reluctant to express their
convictions through fear that the might
strengthen the hands of the opposition

The telegraph reports that Gen. GRANT
said to gentleman in New York on Sun
day last, "The Oonfederacy is mere
she'll; I know it; I am sure Of It. 1t is
hollow shell, and SHxRnAN will prove it to
you." We do not fully credit the report
that Gen. GRANT uttered these words. If
he did, the questions naturally arise why
SHERMAN alone is TO prove the hollowness
of the "shell." Has GRANT given up the
hope of puncturing it himselfi Have the
infants and dead men, procured by rob-
bing the cradle and the grave become
endowed with sufficient vigor to resist
successfully all his own blows on the afore-
said "shell3" We hope these questions
will be negatively answered in less than
six months.

How LincOln,s Election Is Rcxar dcd
at the South.

Richmond papers Of the 18th and 18th
inst. contain elaborate editorials on our
Presidential election. The result seems to
be regarded by them as deliberate decla-
ration of the North in favor of four years
more Of war. No disappointment is felt,
however, as it is only what was expected.
The Dispatch says, Had LINCOLN allow
ed himself to be beaten, he must have been
either fool or patriot, neither of which
his warmest friend nor bitlerest foe has
ever suspected him of being" ..
The Examiner thinks it would be idle
to calculate on any revolt Of the Northern
Democracy, or any chance Of riots or re
sistance to drafts, or conspiracies to sepa-
rate the Western States, and feels certain
that the whole power OF the North is now
welded by those who are bent ON the de-
struction OF the people of the South. The
Eramine, thus proposes to meet the ''sit-
uation:" c. ..t..... .. ..
If we shrink from the conflict, better were it
for US and ours that we had never been born.
Fortunately there is no middle course for us.
We must be victors, or we must be annihilated;
and it is better so. We are glad there is no
room now for submission. Submission would
be but running to meet the shameful doom of
subjugation; It would not save US an acre of
ground, one right of citizenship; the party
that has placed Lincoln at its head for another
term is not to be cheated out of its prey now
by compromises or clemency. 1t knows what
it has staked, and has counted up what it
means to win. The Yankee nation has COM
mitted itself to the game of all or nothing; and
so must we. The only question for us now ia
whether we thall call forth all the energies and
resources of our country, all the courage and
manhood of our race; to drive back tn foul
invaders of our homes, and make them expiate
their crime with their own base blood, or
whether we shall fly from our country, take
false lanes hide our shame in the ends O. the
earth and peep about to find ourselves dishon-
Orable graves, or else remain as q generation
OF serfs, to beg shelter and employment from
Yankee and negro masters. Such is the alter
native.
The Sentinel says one view of LINo0LN's
election produces sadness and regret, and
that is the declaration of the people of the
North that they will not only have war,
but war in its most barbarous ami malig-
nant form, without those amenities which
civilization enjoins and the sanction Of the
Christian world has consecrated The
Sentinel says:
But perhaps this also is tor our good. 1t
deepens and widens the gulf between US and
renders our success more certain by rendering
failure more dreadful and intOlerable. Every
charred homestead is fresh warning 10 onr
people that they must never be conquered, but
rather fight forever.

The Condemned Deserlcrs.

We print elsewhere all order from Gen.
SHELLEY, for shooting to death with mus
kerry" two more deserters, making five
in all who are to suffer this awful penalty.
We deem this fitting occasion to say that
the public, while fully acquiescing in the
justice of the sentence passed upon those
men, are almost united in the hope that
mercy may be shown them, and believe
that it can be without detriment to the
welfare of the service. The offences for
which they are doomed to suffer death,
when committed in the Northern
States, far removed the seat of war
have usually been expiated by ban
ishment and hard labor at the Dry
Tortugas during the war, by Imprisonment,
or other degradation. Only few days
ago, some fifty or sixty "bounty-jumpers"
were paraded through the streets of Indi-
annapolis in chains, and band playing the
"rogues march" before them, after which
they were put on the cars for Chattanooga,
where they were to be placed at work on
the Notifications. Similar scenes have not
been unfrequent in other northern depart
ments. We are not aware of any circum-
stances existing in the department.
commanded by General PoPE which
require the shooting of all the con-
demned at Fort Smelling. If a ter
rible example must be made, will not
the death of one man be sufficient?
President LINCOLN committed the sentence
of death passed upon more than three
hundred Indians, for murders "most foul,
bloody and unnatural" to imprisonment
at Rock Island, and allowed only thirty
eight to perish on the scaffold. Why
should he not not mercifully interpose his
authority in behalf of those poor white
men, in the same proportion and to the
same extent?

Valuable Railroad Lands for Sale.
We would call the attention of farmers
in this and other States to the advertise
ment oflands for sale by the St. Paul and
Pacific Railroad Company, in the counties
of Hennepin, Carver and Wright. They
embrace some of the richest farming land
in the State, and are offered at
very low rates. The company have
large number Of hands engaged
in grading ON that portion of their line
running through these lands, and expect
to have the cars running as far as Lake
Minnetonka next season. We know of no
investment for Ia bOrers and mechanics, SO
safe and profitable as in these lands The
road will be completed, and convenient
market opened for every purchaser, as
soon as the soil can be brought under cnI-
