MaEYla nd Affairs.

HEAvY RoBBERY.-Arrcst Of the Thieres
and RecOrry Of the nsoney.-On Sunday even
ing last, about seven o'clock, Henry Cohee.
residing near Worton Heights, in this county
was robbed of three thousand five hundred and
nineteen dollars, by two women commonly
known as "Gipsies. They had been to Mr..
Cohee's house before, but on this occasion
they came professedly for feed for their horse.
The women were invited in to supper, but one
of them declined, and while the others were
eating she crept into an adjoining room and
took the money from the desk After they
left, it occurred to Mr.. G. that the desk wa.
unlocked, which induced him to look after his
money, when he found it was gone He i'm
mediately made the fact known in the neigh
korhood, and general search for the thieves
ensued. The facts were telegraphed from
Middletown, Del, to officers at Wilmington OF
Monday morning, and shortly afterward dis
patch was returned stating that the women haC
been caught on the cars and all the money re
covered. They rode to Smyrna on Sunday
night, distance of about u miles, and tool
the cars for Philadelphia in the morning.
| Mr.. Cohee went to Wilmington after tn,
money on "Wednesday, since when we have no
heard from him, but as most Of the sum wa
in Government notes Of large denomination
and he had taken the precaution 10 numbe
them, there will be no difficulty as to its identi
6cation, he had offered a reward Of FIVE hun
dred dollars.
, we have been convinced that these Gipsie
ere no better than common vagabonds. The
always affect great piety, and we learn that 4

The Maryland & Delaware Railroad.

FsFhaps no railroad, or proposed railroad,
every had so much trouble with the officers of
It's company as the Maryland & Delaware Rail
road Almost from the first selection Of the
officers Of that Company there has been more
or less dispHting between them and the stock
holders Mr.. Tench Tlghman, the President
of the road has been greatly censured, and its
n-completion attributed by many to him.
On the other hand, he has warm friends, who
insist that he is the right man in the right
place, and seem determined to keep him in
Office At the annual meeting of the stock
holders, held at Esston on Wednesday last,
quite an exciting time must have characterized
the proceedings. An effort was made to or
ganize the meeting by making director chair
man who was favorable to the election of the
old officers" but the attempt failed, and Mr.
Earl, Of Queen Anne's was made chairman
and L. I. GodSborOugh, of Talbot, secretary
The two parties-those in favor of the old off
GERS and those in favor of electing new ones
pow arrayed themselves against each other,
6aml Hambleton and l. C. w. Powell, Esq,
leading the former and H. II. Goldsborough
and Jas. L. Martin leading the latter,
The President of the Company conteUdsd
shat he had the right to vote the stock forfeit
ed BY Mitchell & Maf6t, former contractors tc
build the road. 4 resolution was passed how.
sver denying him that right. During this tim'
the debate became warm and excited, " ant
che session was prolonged to sometime in the
night. So far the party in favor of electini
new officers had been successful.
On Thursday morning the vote for officer
for the ensuing year came up for considera
zion A debate then arose as to whether tht
Directors holding the State stock should be al
lowed TO yotc that stock. The session wa
again protracted till night. and when the w
ting commenced the tellers, Messrs. Knots anC
Plummer, Of Md, and Hawkins of Del, ia
Vorable to the old officers probably,) decided
not to receive the votes of the State Directors
The rejection of this vote gaze the friends O
she old officers majority, and reelected tn
the old board, The other party, in as mucl
as the States officers were disfranchised, refus
ed to vote at all, and gave the whole affair u,
to their opponents,
But the election, 10 consequence Of the della
occasioned BY the stormy debates, was q da
later than required by the charter-Thursda
instead Of Wednesday-and a point may
made Of this BY the new officer party. An

Preparation For War--SecIetaIY SIantOn's
! ReNnrf


One of the most encouraging features Of the
recent report OF the Secretary of War-not
sufficiently noticed by the public-is his ac-
count Of our military preparation, though the
army and navy are reduced to peace footing
We shall have, during the next fiscal year,
but about So 900 men Of all arms in the nation
al army, and our military expenses will be only
some $33, ,8l4 900; yet the Secretary is conf
dent that we are i'll fact prepared, whether for
another rebellion or for foreign war. The
chief demands of war, as shown by our expe-
rience in this struggle, he states to be, first,
troops, then arms, ammunition, clothing, trans
pOrtation, and subsistence supplies.
In regard to men, he has no doubt that in
the event OF a foreign war hundreds Of thous-
andS-and rs many from the South as the
North-old an experienced soldiers, many ot
them the veterans Of a hundred battles, anC
: all Injured i'll the most trying campaigns of mod
. ern history, would at once rally round the flag
These men would be accustomed to all the art
of campaigning; they would know how to take
care OF themselves; they would understand
the immense value of discipline the first con
fusion and fear of raw soldier would haY
long passed away with them they would know
{ their officers and generals and these could trus
them. They would be worth treble the mum
Der of Inexperienced soldiers
Inc OIly question, say the secretary, WOul
e be the time in which they could be organize
and equipped. But here our experience i
this war gives US valuable lessons Offici;
reports show that after the disaster on the Pc
ninsua III 1862 over 80, 900 troops Were cnlis
J. ed, organized, armed, equipped, and sent t
the field, IN less than u month. Sixty thou
> and troops have repeatedly gone to the fcl
within four weeks; and 10000 infantry wei
~ sent to the armies from the five States of Obi,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, uith
s., tlcenty dttys.
- MIR. Stanton does not, of course, speak
his own share in this marvellous rapidity al
perfection of organization, but it is no secret
= the country, and it will be remembered by hi
tory, that it is mainly due to his fertile brai
intense energy and power Of organization
st As he justly says, for this generation at lca>
&c . the speed of the railroad and telegraph W
