a corrective and antidote to malarious fever,

to over One Million Of Bottles. A few years

France.

A recess until the 22d instant has been ia
ken by the National Assembly Of France
President Theirs speech, previous to the ad.
jourpment, was decidedly encouraging, both
10 relation to the fidelity of the army to the
Republic, and the maintenance of peace and
order in France. He also declared that France
is not entirely isolated, nor totally without
alliances. This latter assurance is supposed
to point in the direction of Russia, aud the
announcement was necessary, in order to off
set the actions of Prussia and Italy.

Extension OF Time to the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad.

EOGOuAdC kNdAAEOuus
At meeting of the County Commissioners
on Tuesday last, a petition was received and
read from Col. Samuel Cox, on behalf of the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, for an extern
sion Of time for three months for the compile
ton of the contract heretofore entered into be-
{ tween the Commissioners and the above named
corporation The application details, at length,
the reasons which induce the Company to ask
for the extension of time and recites many of
the difficulties and impediments to be overcome
which, transpiring since the signing of the con-
tract, have necessitated the expenditure of time
and labor, not foreseen at that time. Among
Others we may mention the ''decay of nearly
every culvert on the Collington Branch, in
Prince Georges county, which necessitated the
delay of having to tear them up and replace
them with trestlework," and which required
the services of corps of track-layers, who
would otherwise have been employed on other
parts of the road and also the settling, to the
depth of some fifty feet, of the marsh near
Pope's Greek, about 800 feet in length, which
Of course had to be filed up, thus involving
six months additional work. The contract,
1t will be remembered, was signed October II,
1869, and stipulated for the completion of the
entire work in thirty months from date. I'm
der the terms of the contract one-half of the
money 1851, 5Oo) has been paid for grading
the third quarterly instalment shall be sub
scribed and payable "when one-fourth of the
length of the road within the county shall be
duly laid with rails;'' and the fourth and last
instalment "when the half of the length of the
road shall be duly laid with rails" For the
third instalment no application on the part Of
the Company has as yet been made, and, Of
course, the extension of time, for the period
asked by the Company, will ensure cores
ponding delay in the payment of the amount
due. After due consideration the Board or
dered an extension of time for three months by
the following vote: Yeas-Messrs. HALEY,
Hanson and Hawkins. Nays-Messrs. Cox
and Smoot

Death OF Professor Morse.

Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor OF

gested the idea of the Atlantic telegraph.

EDITOR PORT TOBACCO TINES
Dear Sir:-In your paper of the 22d ult.,
Mr.. Rowe attempts to prove his proposition,
ths. Til thIfases sAsss e compsfrsa e attend
the public schools by the following arguments:
We are compelled to pay taxes to support
these schools, therefore we must send our chill
dren to these schools. Ifthis be the only reason,
a mans sons must become soldiers because he
pays taxes for West Point. He who pays taxes
to defray the expenses of the county Jail must
become a prisoner; the taxpayer for the peni-
tertiary must become convict. Strange rea-
soning
A man who refuses his children an education
robs them of their rights. Grant it. But must
he not have the privilege of selecting the means
of repairing his culpability? Why shall he
not be allowed the boon of employing tutor
or teaching them himself. Surely Mr.. Rowe
would not close so many worthy private insti-
tutions that dot our land A government acts
wisely in fostering education; but, yet it is
impossible to form any system which may meet
the requirements ofall, and every parent should
certainly enjoy the poor privilege of availing
himself of the public system if he choose, or de-
clining it, if he so wills.
would not, indeed, have noticed such an
absurd proposition as that announced by the
advocate of Compulsory Education" but Of
tentimes the direct evils flow from a fanatical
desire of accomplishing a good purpose, and
whatever salutaEy results may be derived from
public sources of education, these can never
take away the inalienable duty and rights of
parents to select whom they please to train up
their children CITIZEN
