WHAT DOES IT mEaNp

We sometimes read dispatches in our ex-
changes which VIC have no difficulty in I'M
Outstanding, but the following special to the
Baltimore Transcript is too comprehensive
for US to tathom, Not that We are incapable
of imagining faintly, at least, the blest dis
pensation which seems to have dawncd upon
US, but the announcement comes with-such
suddenness as to create amazement "The
constitutional amendment -abolishing slavery
a nullity !' is an announcement for which the
public is not prepared, although many we'll
meaning people never did believe the act
Constitutional. The other astounding state
mcnts of the dispatch sound like the burst
ing of the manaclcs and the opening of the
prison doors. But to the telegram:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2, 1867.
General Grant had long interview with
Secretary Stanton day upon the effect of
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
upon military commissions. 1t renders the
Frecdmcn's Bureau and Civil Rights Bills
utilities; and while it is allowed to stand or
ders will be issued to prevent any conflict of
Geary, Gen Palmer, and all other army Off
GERS who lave been upon military commissions
are hourly liable to criminal arrest and trial
Senator Irumbull, who drew up both bills,
agrees with the Supreme Court. This deci-
sion creates intense excitement, and it is now
claimed by the President that the Constitu-
tional Amendment .abolishing slavery, will
yet be declared uullity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. 1867.

EM-Scvcral congressman elect from the
unrcpresented States of the South, who have
been feeling tie pulse of the Northern rad
icals at Washington have returned home, con-
fident in the belief that if the South would
accept the Constitutional Amendments as a
iinality, it would be at once admitted to rep>
resentation. We opine that with these gem
tlemen the "wish is father to the thought"
and having smelt of the flesh pots" whilst
in Washington are anxious to be in the en-
joyment of them, the disgrace and infamy of
adopting these amendments being a small
consideration when it stands in the way of
their admission to congressional honors and the
pocketing of $4,000 in grcenbacks

\ GREAT RusH.-A friend of ours from the
country, happening to be in town the other day,
when Stone, Rosst9n and .Murray's great circus
exhibited, concluded that he would go too and
take peep Mt the elephant. Not being very fa-
mnr with the localities of the town, he hap
pcned 10 strike in with big crowd, all steadily
moving in one direction, and naturally enough
concluding that they were going to the circus,
he joined the throng. The crowd moved, down
Washington street 10 the public square in a
dense phalaax, and then turned up North Poto-
mac street. After moving Il short distance fur
ther on, our friend found that greater attrac-
ton than the circus was producing this prodi-
gious rush, and having to his great personal
satisfaction and advantage discovered the cause
and proftcd thereby, he hcgs leave to in form,

view, throughout the christian world, for in ii
are commemoratcd themighticst and most impor-
tant events that have ever occurred in the his
tory of mankind, the passion and death of our
Saviour, and the redemption Of fallen man.
Last Sunday was what is commonly known
rs Palm Sunday and celebrates the triumphal
entry of Christ into Jerusalem, accomnanicd by
the muli:udes who threw branches of palm in
his way. On the fullowinng Wednesday Eyes

0a Thursday he celebrated the pas sover, and
instituted sacrament of the Eucharist. The day
is hence called Mauhdy Thursday dies m7alate,
the day Of the command.
Friday commonly called Good Friday, COM
mcmorates his death upon the cross and Satur-
day his burial.
Sunday next or Faster Sunday is the most
solemn festival of the whole year, and celebrates
Christ's resurrection from the dead.
Tho festivals do not occur every year upon the
same fixed dav, like Christmas and most other
religious holidays, but they arc determined by
the day upon which Faster Sunday falls, which is
always the Sunday succeeding the first full moon

Baltimore County Free Press, an independent
Family newspaper published in Towsontown, BY
E. F. Cnurch.w who was formerly associated with
the present Senior Of the Herald and Torch in the
publication Of that journal.
The paper is handsomely printed, and well ed
tied ana We wish the proprietor success i'll his
undertaking. When Mr.. Church was in our
midst we founl him clever and polite gentle
man, aud we ut that time really sympathised
with him on account of his connection with that
beautiful concern that WAS then, ana is now pre-
sided over by the celebrated Fleet Pete. 1t did
not surprise us that Mr.. Church should have
been anxious 20 sever his connection with the
dcIcctable Pete; any body of geutlemanly feelings
and instincts would desire to do the same thing;
and taught by experience we are sure he Will
avoid such damaging connection for Tie fu-

6f>EsA YoUsG LADY returning to her coun-
w. try home, after the sojourn: of few
months in the City, was hardly recognized by her
friends. In place of coarse rustic, flushed face,
she had soft ruby complexion of almost marble
smoothness, andinstcad of twenty she really
appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to ..the
cause of Sc great change, she plainly told thcm
that she used the Circassian Balm, and con
sideRed it an invaluable acquisition to any Ladys
toilet. BY it's use any Lady or Gentleman can
improve their personal appearance an hundred
fold. Itis simple in its combination as Nature hcr
selfis simple, yet unnrpassed in its efficacy n

that however dull the times, it was false

lie hadnot the pleasure, which we anticipa-
ted, Of being present at the blowing match,
which came eff on Tuesday, the 10th instant on
the farm of James II. Grove, Esq, near Ulgers-
town; but we have the result from an eye wit
ness, aud in the line of our daty, as II public
journalists we now communicates them rs report
cd to us.
The contest for superiority WAS M tle between
the plows now owned by Mcssrs Rowland &
Strife, Mr.. Jacob Maugan and Mr.. George Beard;
and after repeated trials and close observation
of the working and work of each, the palm was
awarded, by the voice of tw0-thirds of the prom
incnt farmers present, 10 the plow of Mcssrs.
Rowland and Stlite. The peculiar cxcellency Of
thefvctorious plow consisted in the three follow
ing particulars, viz: the lighncss ofits draft the
ciearness and neatness of its firrow, and the
smoothness and regularity with which it turned
the. sod. We are not an expert in such matters;
but as we arc informed, AMI as we would sup-
pose, these are the three desirable accomplish
mcnts ofn good plow; AMI possessing supe-
riority in these important particulars over Its
several rivals to be true to ourselves and just te
the public, we are constrained TO recommend il
10 the patronage of our farmers.
The successful plowiin this contest was patented
by James Halas, of Lebanon county, PennSyl
vanin. 1t was introduced into this County by
Col. S. Tinsman, partner with Mr.. IElllas in
its manufacture and sale, who afterwards sold
the right forthis County to Mcssrs. Rowland &
Strife.
C"i. Tinsman now owns the right to the pillow
in the Southern and Southwestern States. The
Colonel has been sajourner in onr County fol
considerable timc and by his politeuess ant
urhanity of manner, his obiging and accomo
dating spirit and disposition; and withal his en-
tcrpse and energy of character has won fol
mselfmany friends in our midst We there
fore take great pleasure in recommending hin
to onr Southern and Southwestern friends, ant
