ANNAPOLIS, March 90, 1865.
To The Men belonging to the Maryland Regiments
Absent arithoM LedUe
Whilst have reason to believe that there are
comparatively but few men belonging.to the Reg
iments of the State who are improperly absent
from their commands, yet some of the conse-
quences of such absence are, under the provisions
of late act of Congress- and the President s
more recent proclamation, of such vital impor-
lance TO those concerned, that think itsadvisa-
BILE to call those consequence more particularly
to their notice.
By au act Of Congress, approved March 3D.
inst, all deserters from the Military and Navy
service of the United States who shall not return
to that service within sixty days after the presi
dent issues his proclamation giving warning to
that effect, 'tall be forever incapable of holding

or Of exercising any rights Of citizens thereof
The President has issued his Proclamation noti-
flying deserters of this act, and if before the 10th
Of Nay neat they do not return to their proper
posts, they are forever after dsfranchised.
trust that if there be any Maryland soldiers or
sailors of the class referred to, they will without
longer delay return to duty and thereby save
their rights of citizenship, we'll as share in the
glory of their companions in arms now about to
strike the death blow Of the rebellion.

MEssRs EDIYoRs AFTER some reflection, have
arrived at the conclusion that it would be highly
proper for the Governor of the State to issue his
Proclamation, appointing day of Public Thanks
giving, for the adjournment of the General AS
sembly, as the longer continuance in session of
this body might have involved us in greater trou-
bles than we now have, by neglecting the duties
for which they were elected, and devoting their
time to their own special interests in appropria-
ting $loO mileage, when this failed, ordering
their pay in gold and then appropriaiing SIG, 90
for Postage Stamps. The wisdom of the Conyen-
ton in fixing their pay should be appreciated.

BURNING OF A DwELLlNG.-On Friday morning,
oath ult, the dwelling of Carville S. StauSbury,
ESQ.,, on Back River, six miles from the city,
caught fire from the falling of sparks on the roof
and the flames spread with such rapidity that
the entire building was destroyed with most OF
its contents The Messrs Van Ruth and others
living near by, gave timely and energetic asss-
lance and succeeded in saving some OF the furni-
ture and vauabes from the devouring element.
Mr. Stansbury had been suffering from indspo-
sition in the city for some weeks past and only
went out to the farm eat the beginning of the
week, still in IL very weak state. The house de-
stroyed had belonged TO the family upwards OF
200 years, General Tobias E. Stansbury the fa-
Their of its late occupant, having been born in it.,
and after living to very advanced age, died
there. The dwelling was originally built of
stone, but had been modernized on several oc-
casions, and at the time of its destruction was
considered one of the finest mansions in the
county. During the past few years the various
outhonses, barns, &C., of Mr. Stansbury have
been destroyed by fire, and the late conhagration
leaves not single building standing on the place.
There is policy of insurance on the building,
but to what amount, and in what Office was not
ascertaned
ANoTHER-DARING Work OF AN INoENDIARY.-
The dwelling of Mr.. Thomas Kensett, provi-
sion, fruit and oyster packer, who resides on the
Resterstown turnpike, short distance beyond
the first toll-gate, was set on fire no less than
times on Sunday last, involving considerable loss.
There was at the time no one on the premises ex-
eept Mr. Kensett his wife and colored female do
mestc Each time the fire was communicated to
different part:of the house. and what is most re-
markable is the fact that some valuable clothing
that was set on fire in an upper closet in the
morning, and afterwards removed to lower
apartment was again fired during the afternoon
and consumed. Mr.. Kensetts loss to his dwelling
and furniture is estimated at about 81 900, which
is fully covered by a policy of insurance in the
Equitable. His loss in clothing is set down at
$500, on which there is no insurance. Col. F.

FIRE IN HARTFORD COUNTY I'm the latter part
of last week, about o'clock at night, the barn
of Mr.. James Amos, in the 4th district of Hartford
county, was found to be on fire. Nothing could
be done to check the flames. Nineteen or twenty
head of cattle, together with grain, hay &C.,
were consumed. 1t is said to have been the
work of an incendiary.

STop THIEF -On Monday last, a fine bay mare,
eight years DID, with three white feet and the end
of the right cut off, was stolen from the
stable of Mr. John II. Butler, living near Tow
sontown, on the York Turnpike The other hor-
ses in the stable were not disturbed, and from
the fact that the stolen mare was in the fourth
stall from the door, the thief evidently knew ex-
actly which one he wanted The rack was eaten
empty,e indicating that it was near morning
when the theft took place. We sincerely hope
Mr.. Bntler may recover his mare and the thief be
brought to justice though as yet no clue has been
obtained to either. Mr. B. offers $75 for the
conviction of the thief and the recovery of the
mare, or $50 for the thief alone.
We would suggest to the farmers and horse
owners of this vicinity the Importance of organ
izing a society for mutual protection against
horse thieves and for the recovery of stolen horses
1t is seldom that a thief ventures to steal horse
belonging to member of such company, as
he is nearly certain to be caught and the horse
recovered, and if he is not recovered, the owner
is paid for him in the same way that man is
paid for an insured hou sewhen it is destroyed by
fire. sff y5aa.5 ffss.5 ai3t Jtaf
