Tho land of WASHINGTON and T,o-

The land of Washington and La
fayette seems to be rent with frater-
nal blood. What ought to be the
two happicst Republics on earth, if
Republcanism was carried out to the
full extent and true meaning of the
word, is now given up to party strife
and anarchy, which bodies no good for
mans capacity of self-government,
Spirits Of the sainted dead look
down upon your countrymen, and
teach them moderation and wisdom
i'll this hour Of human progress and
greatness. Party spirit and rancor
should be given to the dogs. Impart
to them knowledge from on high, and
let new fountain of hope spring up
and pervade, and animate the whole
civilized world. Let RcpublicaniSm
be carried out in the enlightened spirit
of justice and mercy, liberty and law.
1t should penetrate through every
class of society, teaching every man,
in the most obscure and oppressed
condition, to feel and assert his right
making every day new converts even
amongst the privileged ranks and at
the very footsteps Of thrones.
And now, while France is being
drcnched with human gore, and fac
ton brooas over our favored land,
shall the voice prevail of few infat-
uatel men who onl Y dream what they
cannot hope? Sholl the power be
given unto them, and their adhercntS
elsewhere, Of arresting light in its
progress---the sunlight of the nine
teeth century? or Of making the hui
man mind retrosradc? The planets
also, to the eye Of man, appear at
times to have / retrogradc motion
bat they still pursue their unerring
course, in obedience to the laws oil
Nature, and to the first impulse of the
Creator. And now in the moral
world, people, mobiles, monarch, states
men, are all carried away by the ire
Fistiblc stream Of public opinion and
growing knowledge.
The flame of liberty is sproadingI
from Bunker Hill to the Peruvian
Andes, and back to San Marine, in !
the Eastern Hemisphere, where the
dawn Of Republicanisln first com !
menced and the oldest Republic in
the world still exists.

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me to con-
graduate YOU upon the fact that the

Mr.. John W. Staup is about encasing
tho old Curtis property, in new
weather boards, to give it " more trim

buildings are i'll contemplation.
This place would improve more i
there Was u suhicIenrv OF good COO
water through the summer, and ON
citizens would put up two or three ic,
houses and fill them during the winter
The town is beautifully and e!gibIN
located, one Of the best and most com
handing sites for a town in the coun
try. The land Immediately arounc
it, by means Of fertilizers, is improv
ing wonderfully, and by careful farm
ing can be made to produce gooc
crops. The meadows for hay can t b.
beat.
There is some talk Of sinking two o.
three deep wells during The summer
and putting down an Artcsian well il
the Public Square. 1t would lie ;
great Improvement, and add immense
" to the value of real estate.
The farms of Mr.. John Shaw
Charles Stevens and John W. Staup
near this place, produce cXcellen
crops. Just now the wheat fields il
this vicinity and District present ;
luxuriant appearance. Our farmer
should plant more fruit trees. Ou
orchards want grating and trimming
up. This Red Land can be improved
by scientific farming.

Monocacy. Hunting creek was famous
for it's game in those days; and it de-
rived it's name from this circumstance.
The Indians from the Cove Mountains
passed over this spur Of the Blue
Ridge in quest of game, and some Of
the bows and arrows, we state on the
authority of Alexander Stewart, were
found over q hundred years ago, along
our water courses. The Indians in
their hunting expeditions always fol-
low the water courses, and from the
settlements of the Conococheague and
Antietam to the Monocacy, in other
days, they made frequent incursions.
About the time Braddocl fell, in his
expedition to Fort Duquesne, IN West
moreland county, Pa, there was heard
here from the recesscs of Harman's
Gap q scream of exultation at the de-
feat of the British troops and the
dance of depreciation was danced on
the occasion, according to their bar
barous custom.
1t was this scream, the war whoop
of defiance, perhaps the most horrid
sound that can be imagined, on the
frontiers of Frederick county in 1851
SO, which aroused such terrible
commotion among the settlers of the
Upper Monocacy. A few of the sol
diers under the brave Captain Evan
Shelby, who were from Frederick
county, returned and gave such a
thrilling account Of the savages who
flew out Of the woods and thickcts
like SO many wasps. We can readily
imagine there was great excitement in
Frederick county at that time: and
people scarcely knew what to do or
say.
This same Gap, as now ascertaincd
from reliable Historical Documents,
is the pass through which Allen Cam
eron, John Smith and John Connolly
passed in l775, when they We're en-
routc from Canada for Frederick Town.
