KENT Go. MD. March 18th, 1870.

TO the Editor ofhe Middletopn Transcript
DEAR SIR Il thought probably YOU
would like to hear the news of this part of
our old county. We have had a very
dull winter, owing, | suppose, to the very
bard times. | believe that some of the in
habitants lnegroes and some few calling
themselves whites) of the quiet old town
of Millington were very agreeably enter
tanned ON Friday evening last, the 11th
instant, by a certain Captain S. under
stand'he made his maiden speech in the
Negro Meeting House to a number of
white and black negroes. l am told some
few democrats went to hear what the great
orator would say (what they heard was
at the window from the outside). He in
formed his dear friends that the democrat
&c party had always been their enemy and
by that party they had been kept in bond
age as long as they had, and told them if
they would show him democrat who had
ever been their friend, he would show
them river running up a hill. He told
them they now had the same rights the
whites had, and to exercise them un-
derstand he told them to vote against the
democrats, and not to work for them.
Now, probably, you would like to know
who this conquering hero is. He was
born, and respectfully raised, in the old
quiet town of Millngton, and at the break
ing out of our unhappy difficulties, pub
llcly proclaimed, that he had always been
a Union man, but now he wished JEFF.
Davis with his army might capture our
National Capitol and take possession of the
White House. Af er some few weeks he
shifted his plant mainsail, and the next
time VIC heard of him he was commissions
cd Captain in the Federal army, and the
news came to Nillington that he had ac
tually prevented the great Stoncwall jack
son from entering Maryland, at the time
jackson drove Banks from the Valley of
Virginia, but | think, Mr.. Editor, that it
must have been mistake, as think it is
not possible for this great hero to have
done so. The next We heard of him was,
that he had left the army-for what rea-
son It has not been known. The balance
OF the war, as he says himself, he was in
Baltimore in the substitute business, and
made it quite profitable. After the war
ended he became n great admircr of Pres
iuehC johnson, ana was appointed to a
place in the Custom House in Baltimore
9ut after he saw the chances of Mr.. Grant
were pretty certain, he shifted that plant
old mainsail and became great admirer
of Mr.. Grant, but all to no purpose for
thc great Appomattox Hero had too many
10 reward, and our little Millington Hero
had to 60 by the board, and nearly all last
year he has been quietly sojourning a
mongst us. Since the 18th Amendment
has become settled fact, as much as we
known he dislikes the color, he has paint
ed that old plant and trusty mainsail per-
fectly black, and started out, as he thinks,
on an easy and agreeable voyage with the
negro voters. Whether he will succeed,
time alone will tell. Yours, as of old,
VERHADRY.

CHESAPEAKE OYSTERS IN PACIFIC VA
TIERS. s.-Under this head the San Francis
co Bulletin of March l, has the annexed
paragraph: Some forty days ago George
Mays, OF the California market, imported
from Baltimore and planted on the east
shore of the bay 100, 900 oysters. They
were deposited in the waters as an expert
ment. 1t was found that about one-half
have thriven beyond the anticipat on of
the owner. They are in splendid conli-
tion, and a number of them have been
taken up for the San FRANCISCO market
Mays has. however, sent for large num-
ber from Baltimore, and it is his intention,
for the future, to raise his own Baltimore
oysters. The transplanting took place
among the native oysters, which he had
previously planted, the object being to
cross the breed. Since this experiment
was tiled, parties in Oregon have deter
mined to initiate the example, and within
a day or two shipment of 100, 900 oys-
ters were received and sent north, to be
planted in Shoal- water bay
