Primary Meetings.

Union men, don't forget that the Primary
Meetings to appoint Delegates to- the County
Convention, meet this afternoon. See call
at the head of the editorial column.
1t is important that the Convention be
composed of sound men, who have the well
fare Of the country at heart, and who, hay
ing no axes of their own to grind, will make
it their sole aim to form ticket that will be
credit to an enlightened and liberty loving
constituency.
We don't want to hear any sore heads
after the Convention has completed its la
bors, fnumbling about "cliqucs," and "wire-
pulleE." There are now no ciques and
wire-pullers in the field Every Union
mans desire is to have ticket formed of
good men and true; men who are compe.
tent to manage the business of the county.
Let the Convention, which assemblies here
on Tuesday next, make sure of presenting
such a ticket, and its success is certain.

EIK NECK, Sept. 6. 1861.

Mr.. EDIToR The work Of registering
progresses slowly, although it has carried
dismay to the Copperhcad ranks. We are
sorry to say that marty staunch UHion men
have not yet come forward to be registered.
The law is imperative; it is binding upon
the hero with an empty sleeve; it is binding
upon all. There are no exceptions, and
such being the law, does it become any
Union man, at this hour, to be grumbling
over any little personal objection he NAV
entertain? No! The duty, the plain, un-
mistakable duty of every man, who has the
least title to loyalty, is to be registered ut
once, and see that his neighbor, if loyal, is
registered also.
Now it really seems to me that no loyal
citizen can have any objection to the Regis
try Law. He should rather be thankful that
such a test is placed upon the disloyal; for
surely it is no test to the man WHO, during
the past four years Of the nations trial, has
had no other purpose in view than to sec the
triumph of Republican institutions over the
slave oligarchy of the South to see the flag
of our fathers waving in triumph from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Yes 1t is really
test to the sneaking sympathizers. whose
every action has been hostile to the Govern
ment, and who, to-day, notwithstanding
their professions of loyalty are bitter toward
all not in unison with their schemes, and
would elevate the very heads of the Rebel
lion to the highest offices in the gift of the
nation. Elk NECK.

SoREHEADs.-Lttle by little it has leaked
out says the Raleigh Progress, until now it
is apparent and admitted on all sides that
there is much opposition to the policy of the
Government in North Carolina, and that
many Of our citizens deny that slavery is
dead. The STANDARD says:
''Some men say they are opposed to pass
ing an ordinance in the convention to free
the slaves, and say if slavery cannot be re.
tanned they intend to try to get pay for them
from the Government.
True, every word Of it, but the .Standar2
might have gone further and said that some
OF those who are aspiring to seats in the
convention in this and other counties hold
the same position as to slavery. and that
others have boosted on the streets as to how
they would punish the negroes when the sol
dlers shall be withdrawn. Can we expect
to get back into the Union if such men com
pose the convention? We hardly think so.
Though much poorer, and we hope wiser,
We ancient aristocracy is as arrogant and sell
fish as ever. and as general thing would
rather rule in he'll than serve in heaven
We are profoundly thankful that We are to
have brains and moral worth as the basis OF
an aristocracy in future and not niger

"WREroHEs. This term applied to the
Maryland Legislators and members of the
Constitutional Convention has become quite
patent and fashionable with our secession
neighbor, The Democrat The men who
composed these bodies are among the most
upright and estimable citizens of the State,
and were selected for their moral worth and
public spirit by the people. 1t would be an
outrage and insult to those men to make a

REMovAL.-Mr. g. X. Palmer, Por-
trait and Miniature Painter, has removed
from the building on North street, recently
occupied by him, to one South of the Elk
ton depot. Although Mr.. Palmer has been
here for years, but few Of our readers, per-
haps, even knew of him, much less of his
profession, so very quiet and so little cxer
ton has he made to let the fact be known.
We confess we were much surprised our
selves when called in by Mr.. P, some weeks
ago, to look at a neatly executed and finely
finished portrait of one of our late citizens,
which he had just completed, and others of
his paintings, all of which exhibited high
artistic taste, and skill in execution, rot
surpassed by portrait painters of much
celebrity No better recommendation is
needed, than the announcement of the fact
that all admit the portrait here spoken of to
be as nearly like the original as one can pos
sibly be, and gives entire satisfaction to the
person for whom it was executed, notwith.
standing it was painted from a small likeness.
Should any of our readers want to have
anything done in Mr.. P's line, we hope they
will give him call

AFFAIRS IN SOMERSET County. The Prin
cess Ann Hnah of Tuesday contains the
following:
Secession in Somerset has finished its
course. Like a steamboat letting off steam,
we know by the noise she keeps that her
Journey is ended and she at dead halt
We rejoice al this hideous screechng be
cause we see in it significant sign Of the
times. We are thankful because we see the
hand of God in it, for the sake of humanity
He has given the death blow to slavery, the
greatest blight that ever fell upon our own
country. Now the "Abolitionists" are ia
try their hands. They are already building
railroad buying farms, erecting steam
mills, establishing themselves in business,
&c, and it is pretty generally agreed that
through their influence and enterprise asses
sable property in Somerset county in leo
will almost, if not quite, double that Of $50.
The laying of the ties on the railroad be-
tween Princess Ann and Salisbury began
last week, There is vet much difficulty in
obtaining a sufficient number of ties on that
part of the road, but nothing daunted ties
from pine trees, cut along the line of the
road are being used and will answer for the
present. The work will be pushed on as fast
as possible The laying Of the track com

Fruit GROWING IN MARYLAND.-The farm
crs on the Eastern Shore of Maryland are
turning their attention to fruit growing on a
more extensive scale than usual, and some
of them consider the raising of peaches, APP
Piles, pears, &c, more profitable than wheat
and corn. The Combridge MtcIiigenccy says :
Colonel Wallace, who stands at the head
of the fruit growers IN Dorchester county,
will clear three thousand dollars from his
peach crop this year I. 7. Martin, II. D..
Wright, DIR. j. F. Kurtz, and numbers OF
others, have large orchards, and their profits
this season have been considerable. Our
farmers could not do better than 90 on
planting and cultivating all kinds of fruit
The position and other natural advantages
of Eastern Maryland warrant the inference
that it is destined to be great vegetable
and fruit garden for the cities of Baltimore,
Philadelphia; New York and Boston,

For some time there has been singu-
larly fatal disease prevailing among the cat
tie in Great Britain. Immense numbers of
them have died of this epidemic. SO great
has been the fatality, that provisions have
risen in consequence of the scarcity likely to
arise from the pestilence. The last arrival
from Europe brought orders to merchants
in New York for six thousand barrels of
beef, on English account, and it is said there
are more heavy orders on the way. There
is also demand forpork, butter, and cheese,
from the same quarter. The price Of pork
which has been high for long time, is not
likely to be much lower soon.
