NOTICE..
TO FORMER OWNERS OF SLAVES
IN CHARLES COUNTY,


ITHE undersigned, appointed ''Commis-
l. sioner of Slave Statistics" by the Cover
nor of Maryland, by authority of an act OF the
General Assembly, "enttled An Act to provide
for taking and perpetuating the evidence of the
number Of persons held to labor and service in
the State of MaryIa land and emancipated by the
Constitution adopted in the year 1864, and by
whom such persons were heidi
Hereby gives notice, that he will attend at
his Office, in PORT TOBACCO, from day to
day, for the purpose Of discharging his duties as
said Commissioner. I
The Act of Assembly designs to place, in the
safe keeping of the State, correct evidence of the
number of slaves held by her citizens, at the
time, when, under the influence Of the pledge
of compensation from the United States, such
slaves were emancpated. 1t is obvious that those
only will be compensated who furnish the State
with such evidence. The object of the Law and
the necessity of its passage may be better under
stood by reading the Law itself. The preamble
says:
'sThat the State of Maryland has good,
valid and just claim upon the Government of the
United States for reasonable and adequate COM
pensation for the said property, and that ought
not to be doubted that the Federal G Government
when the passions excited by the late unhappy
civil War shall have subsidized, will recognize the
justice of the said claims and faithfully perform
her manifest duty in regard to it.''
The law requires the following:
The names of the former owners, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution in the year
1864. ... ......
ssThe names, number, age, and physical
condition of such slaves; whether they were
slaves for life or for term of years, and how
many years; whether they have been enlisted or
drafted into the United States, far as is known
to said owners or others; and into what regi-
ments they were placed, and what compensa-
ton, if any, has been received from the State or
General Government by such owner or owners
for such slaves 80 enlisted or drafted into the
military service Of the United States.''
The testimony required is the sworn state
ment of the for mer owner or legal representa-
tive, confirmed y the s'oath of at least two dis
interested witnesses" The record thus made
up is declared to be legal evidence upon all ques-
tons concerning the ownership of slaves in this
State at the time of the adoption of the Constit-
ution by which said slaves were emancipated."

We commend the following beautiful al
legory by Addison. 1t was first published
in the year III, and it truthfulIy represents
the actual facts of table of mortality:
The bridge thou seest, - said he, sis hu-
msn life; consider it attentively." Upon a
more leisureiy survey of it, found that it
consisted of threescere and ten arches, with
several broken arches, which added to those
that were entire, made up the number about
one hundred As | was counting the arch
es, the genius told me that this bridge con
sisted at first of thousand arches, but that
a great food swept away the rest, and left
the bridge in the ruinous condition ] now
beheld it.
But, tell me further" said Re- ''what
thou discovered on it ?" II see multitudes
of people passing over it, said |, ''and a
black cloud hanging over it. As I looked
more attentively, saw several Of the pas
sengers dropping through the bridge into
the great tide that flowed underneath it ;
and. upon further examination, perceived
there were innumerable trap doors that lay
concealed in the bridge, which the passen-
gers no sooner trod upon but they fell thro
them into the vide, and Immediately disap
peared These hideous pitfalls we're set
very thick at the entrance of the bridge, so
that throngs of people no sooner break thro'
tie cloud out many of them fall into them.
They grew thinner toward the middle, but
multiplied and laid closer togeih her toward
the end of the arches that were entire.
There were indeed some persons, but their
number w:s small, that continued a kind of
hobbing march on the broken arches, but
fell through one after another, being quite
tired and spent with so long a walk.
What beautiful picture of human life
as it exists and dies out in the present age !!
How to get at the real complexion OF some
ladies-take little soap and water.
