Editorial Excursion.

The Maryland Editors, realizing the
truth of the old saw, that CT all work
and no play makes Jack dull boy"-
started on the 9th inst. from Baltimore
for an excursion to Jordan's White Sui
phur Springs, Frederick county, Va.
The party consisted of twenty-four in
number, and was made up from all parts
of the State. John w. Garrett, Esq. Pres
ident Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road, placed two cars at their disposal,
under the superintendent of Mr.. Potts.
his private Secretary. an act of courtesy
and liberality which was very gracefully
acknowledged by the gentlemen of the
Press in series of resolutions drawn up
and adopted by them on the ronte. Mr..
Jordan, proprietor of the Springs, yery
generously and cordially extended to them
the freedom of the Springs without fee or
reward, and his kind hospitality was warm
ly acknowledged in the resolutions afore-
said. The trip was delightful one,
throughout; leaders and locals were laid
aside, for the time being; radicals and
conservatives dropped the tomahawk and
scalping-knife and the calumet went round.
There was a yelling up of the better and
kindlier feelings of the heart and ming
ling together as Of one common brother
hood. These results are but part of
the benefits springing directly from the
Editorial Association in Maryland. 1t
would be well if the representatives of the
press in every State would organize like
Association.

the quantity I picked from one hundred

1t is not our purpose to elaborate this
theme, or to trace out the many effects of
emigration upon this young and growing
country of ours, which owes its very ex-
istence, as a component part of the civili-
zed world, and its wonderful development
since its discovery, to emigration. But
what we mean to do, is, to point out a
few, only, of the effects of emigration, as
manifested in the habits of our people.
Our citizens have always been jealous of
foreign influence but it has stolen in upon
us nevertheless. Some one, we think it
was Mr. Jefferson, wished that gulf of
fire rolled between us and the monarchies
OF Europe, for he thought that their in
fluencc upon us as people was pernicious
and not at all desirable Mr.. Jefferson
was clear-headed, far-seeing man, but
he was not infallible-he was not alto
gether right in this matter, though
right in part. 1t was about the time
that French influence was supposed to
predominant in this country, that he is
said to have made this remarkable decla-
ration. We have in turn, been submitted
to British influence, French influence, and
lastly, to German influence; and this lat
ter is the prevailing influence of the pres
ent day. How shall we make this clear
to the reader? Let us endevor to do so
by pointing out few facts in support of
our assertion. We are completely Ger
manlzed, as a nation, in many respects,
and this state of things has been
brought about chiefly by our increased in
tercourse with the several German powers.
Our trade, our travel, has greatly increa-
sed with our Teutonic brethren. Until
the past year, they have outnumbered any
other people who havo come to make their
homes amongst us. Their language is
taught in our schools; their songs are sung
by our vocalists; their music resounds
from our pianos; their dances are prac-
ticed by our sons and daughters; their
festivals and pastimes are being adopted /;
their lager is becoming the prevailing
beverage; the slouch felt hat, is German /;
the saque coat is German; the tobacco
pouch and pipe, are German. Thus it is
seen that we have become completely Ger
manized in all these particulars. Much
of our literature is German, and German
ideas and sentiments are growing more
and more in vogue amongst us. The
change has been gradual, and scarcely
marked by the unobservant, but it has
come; and in these respects we are Ger
man people.

"NNoAo"j -AuS' AOlhj loOJ.
Mr.. VAYDERFoRD, Dear Sir Having a few
leisure moments, will endeavor to give yor a
few lines which may be of interest to YOU. Mil
lington is at present alive with the peach trade :
it begins already to look as if the r. r. had put
new life in the people of this county. Wagons
are coming far and near with peaches We are
running on an average about five cars loaded
with fruit daily from this station. For a long
time Millipgton has been under heavy drag as
IL nothing could move her, but the whistle of the
iron horse has put new life in the whole commu-
nifty, and you see people coming In every direc-
ton to welcome it. We have been wondering if
we ever would have the advantage of good
market for trade from this place, and now we
have it; we can put our produce on the cars to-
day and it is in New York to be opened for the
next mornings market. Besides, it giyes those
who havo not enough to ship a chance to sell at
fair prices, for if they have but one basket of
fruit they can get sale here and go on their way
rejoicing. The mercantile trade seems to be
looking up here. Money has been very scarce,
but we begin TO see and to feel the effects of the
peach crop. There have been some crops sold
here at 30 to 45 cents a basket, snd | must not
forget to mention that the fruit of this neighbor-
hood is very good, and shows that the growers
have taken some interest in getting it ready for
market. The Rail Road is still in progress un-
der MIR. George tearns, and is laid a little over
a mile below this place; it is supposed they will
be as far as Sudlersvile by the lst of September,
The Southern Methodists are having an inte-
resting camp meeting at Blacks woods, about
four miles from this place, and will probably con-
tinne it until some time next week. Dr. Sudler
had very fine horse and carriage stolen from
him on the camp ground on Wednesday evening.
He has not recovered them yet
Messrs. Mallalieu & Bro. are still at work in
their large woollen factory, and give employment
to large number of hands. A new Southern
Methodist Church is being built here, and several
new dwelling houses are going up.
