4" TIE Circuit Court for Baltiosore c9unky-in
Equity.
The object Of this suit is to procure Decree
for the appointment Of Trustee to convey
unto The complainants all the right, title and
interest OF the Defendant in and to a certain
tract of land in Baltimore county called
"DREARY WILDERNESS"

- The Billsstates that the father of the COM.
plainants, Joseph Morris, now deceased, and
the defendant, owned in common. a certain
tract of.land in said county containing about
seventy six acres, Of which theabove mention
ed is a part; that in the year A. D., 1926, the
defendant and the said J0speh divided the said
seventy-six acres among themselves, that the
defendant took twenty two acres, and the said
Joseph the balance. which is particularly de-
scribed in the Bill, and its accompanying ex-
hibt.; and the said Jesse Morris does not re-
side in the State of Maryland and it is not
known to the complainants whether he is alive

The War.

ASsOAy SttAhA AVA ~1@~.C
The war news for the week continues to be
most favorable. Success everywhere attends our
arms. The War Department received dispatch
from Gen Sherman, dated ts[aurel Hill Nc,
March sth, saying We are all we'll and have
done fnely.p Later accounts report Sherman to
have reached Fayetteville on the Cape Fear river,
where he canreceive. supplies for his army by
water from Wilmington, should he need them.
An official dispatch from Gen. Scho6eld, states
that on Friday the 10th inst, his troops advsnc-
ing from Newbern, met Rebel force under Gen.
Bragg, and utterly defeated them, capturing a
number of prisoners. The fighting is represent
ed as having been very severe, with heavy loss
ON both sides. During the night the Rebels re-
treated across the Neuse river at Kiuston, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field. Later dis
patches report Kinston as being now in possess
sion ofthe Union troops, the Rebels having evac-
uated it, burning the bridges across the river
and destroying the Rebel ram that guarded the
place. Godsboro, an important Railroad CEN
tire to which both armies seem to be tending is
only 20 miles from Kinston and 65 from Fayettc-
will. Hs
Raleigh the Capital of the State, is also with
in easy reaching distance, and is ssidto be but
lightly fortified. sao 't89' = t'sh39e 4" s.
An Off sial dispatch from Gen. Sheridan gives
an account Of his late successes in the Valley
After defeating Gen. Early, he crossed the Blue
Ridge entered Charlottesville and remained there
two days. Ten miles Of the Lynchburg Railroad,
a number Of iron and wooden bridges, locks and
dams on the James river canal, by which Gen.
Lee received large part of the supplies of hisar-
my, were completely destroyed. He captured
| IL canal boats loaded with supplies, IA pieces OF
artillery, number of horses and wagons and
400 prisoners, who lately passed through Balti-
more on their way to Point Lookout. He expe-
rienced very bad weather but met with little OPP
position. Com Holins of the Rebel Navy, who
commanded the famous "turtle," was shot at
Gordonsyille, while attempting to escape from
our forces. las eigasa8lssM fallt
Latest reports indicate that Gen. Sheridan will
move around above Richmond and join his forces
to Gen. Grants on the North side of the James
river.
In Gen. Grant army the roads are represent
ed to be so muddy as to prec ..e all important
movements. Deserters still c. ntnne TO come in.
In the Gulf department, troops continue to be
moving toward Mobile. We may look for its
early capture.
Pursuant to n late act of Congress, the Presi-
dent has issued a Proclamation, offering pardon
to all deserters who return to ddty before the
10th of May next. He has also ordered the ar
rest of all persons who have been engaged in
running the blockade and carrying on illegal
trade -.I f Eaf ga

AThe Uniform in school.

= =.
A correspondent informs US that a son of Mr.
Wm.9T Wooden aged nine or ten ye.r has
been attending Puolc School No. Z, located a,
Franklintown For some time past the boy has
worn blue suit, something similar to that worn
by the gallant soldiers Of the Union army. This
dren Of the school, and to their parents, and the
Teacher, Miss Warner, entered complaint
against the boy, before the school commissioners,
Dr. Hand. The commissioner consequently gave
orders 10 have the boy excluded from school,
until he laid of the obnoxious suit.
The boy may have worn this suit from choice,
or from necessity. But in either case we were
not aware that it was school commissioner
province to prescribe the clothing child should
wear in school, nor that lie had the right to de.
prive any child of the priyiiesesofa public school,
because the2color Of his dress didn't happen to
suit the refined fancy of some his schoolmates
Nor didw suppose that there was y school COM
missioner or teacher in the county, who would
80 far tfucklc to the oyer-sensitive disloyaty Of
his neighborhood, as to exclude a child from q
public school because his clothing was dyed with
the national color. Is II to be held disgrace to
wear the color of our brave soldiers in the field I
Our correspondent tells us that the same pesti.
lent little Rebels who turned up their dainty ne
SOS at their soldier-clad comrade, have brothers
in the Rebel army, and at the beginning Of the
war, openly Haunted Rebel flags in the same
school. orr little blue-backed school-boy had
worn a suit of Rebel grey, perhaps the doors Of
the school-house would not have been shut on
him. fou sa5 N8a ii Aai sne 6oag sif
