On Saturday Judge Advocate Chapman

which are laid to the charge of the prisoner

death resulting from confinement in the
stocks and the chain gang; third, the killing

A Factory IN ELKToN. During the

present week a party Of gentlemen were in
town looking for suitable location for a
factory, which, it is asserted, they have de-
termned to erect here early next spring
We do not know whether they decided upon
a particular location or not. This looks as
though Elkton is not yet finished but a
bright future seems to be looming up before
her. That the many advantages of the place
as manufacturing town have SO long re-
manned unimproved is attributable to the
fact that an institution existed here that kept
northern capital and enterprise away. But
that having been removed, every section of
the State is improving. 1t is thought that
the propose enterprise will be fully carried
out.

Union Nomination..
Montgomery Blair.

This dignitary, quandom Post Master Gen.
eral in the Cabinet of the lamented Lincoln,
has just written letter to Coppcrhcad
mass meeting in Talbot county, in which he
covers himself all over with glory. We
scarcely know which most to admire, the
preciptate haste he manfests to throw HIM
self body and soul into the ranks of the enc
my, or the exultant shout with which they
receive him. We are free to say we prefer
Mr.. Blair, the open and avowed enemy, to
Mr.. Blair, the pretented friend Our worst
foes are ever those of our own household. -
There can he no doubt that ever since Mr..
Lincoln felt it due to himself and the coun.
try to dismiss Mr.. Blair from his counsels,
that disaffected aspirant has plotted mischief
His power to do mischief will be much less
as an avowed and unscruoulous Copperhead,
than as milk andwater Union man, re-
markable only for the hating endorsement
he ever gave the necessary measures to Sc
cure the restoration of the Union, and an
Old maidish habit of fault finding, the I'M
mistakable evidence of insincerity of pur-
pose.
No surprise should be felt that the letter
of the worthy gentlemen breathes so much
of the blood and thunder spirit. Proseytes
are even noted for their zeal, and the greater
the tumble man takes, the more violent
must be his effort to show that he has landed
on his feet. Thus far the effort has been
equal to the occasion. Two or three more
such leaps as that already taken will surely
land the great tergiversator head foremost
into the Copperhead ranks, or feet foremost
into the gulf of political oblivion.
Farewell, Montgomery. You have left
your party for your party's good. Inefficient
as pretended friend of the country, you
will prove worse than powerless as the sche
mer Of its destruction. We part from you
without murmur. May your new found
friends have as little cause to lament your
| accession to their ranks. Be good Cop
perhead. Do the party's bidding. Grum.
BILE at nothing. Hesitate at nothing Be
foremost in the fight and last in the retreat
Do the duties of your partnership faithfully,
valiantly, unscrupulously. Fail not to de-
nounce the Radicals and "Factionists."
Call them all kinds of names, and charge
them with all kinds of crimes.
"Fear not to lie--'.will seem n sharper hit.
Shrink not from blasphomy--'twll pass for wit"
And when your wholesome task is well re-
cited, and your allotted labor we'll perform

have so well served, do not elevate you to
the rank of constable. or promise you post
mastership under the next Copperhead Ad
ministration, you may at least cherish the
