house, in 1864, these gentlemen both de-

the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, has been
dropped by the Senate Committee on the
District of Columbia, as they do not re-
gard the testimony of the valet as Of much
value. The present Congress has been
remarkable for the number of its smelling
committees, while its own corruption has
been so rank that it " smells to heaven. :"

To Readers and Correspondence.

Mature always beautiful" will APP
pear in our next.
No. 5, Of " Recollections Of the Mother
Country" will be found on the first page
of this issue. These papers have been
received with much favor, by our readers,
and appear to grow in interest.
The Rail Road war continues and there
is now ''another Richmond in the field ;"
observer" comes forward to break
lance with " "Stockholder," who we once
thought would have the field all to him
self, the gallant Knight of Chestertown,
after a hostile demonstration, retiring
without giving combat. The fight has
now become general, the forces in every
part of the field being engaged, "horse,
foot, and dragoons," reserves and skir.
mishcrs. The Kent News, and our irate
namesake, the Chestertown Transcript !;
Sinapis," the graceless offender of the
ancient dignity and honor of Chester
town; Stockholder,' " Firmness" and
observer" are all in the thickest of the
fray, and even one of the Centreville Jour
nails has become involved. The nature
OF the muss reminds us of Paddy's advice
to his friend at Donnybrook Fair -
Wheriver ye see head hit it." And
with pen-and-ink shillelahs, the combat
tants are hitting on every hand. One has
only to poke his head into the muss to feel
the weight of some combattant's cudgel.
We have not asked permission of our
Chestertown contemporaries to publish
oeservers' article. but we suppose the
offence, if any, is venial, since "Ob-
server" steps forward to the defence of the
Chestertown wharf. -..-
We have been favored, by a gentleman
OF this county, with a copy of the Dela-
'odre Register and Farmers Magazine,
published at Dover, thirty-one years ago,
containing a biographical sketch of the
gallant Commodore McDonough, the hero
OF Lake Champlain. He was born in the
village of McDonough. which takes its
name from him. We will publish this
sketch in our next issue. This Peninsula
has the honor of having produced two of
the most gallant heroes of the last war
with England, viz :-McDonough, of Del
aware, and Decatur, of Chestertown.
The -" Old Trees Story" by our fair
correspondent, at Port Penn, is received
