Correspondence.
Letter from Annannlis.

DEAR EGIs: The Wharton case is on trial
now and is the principal object of interest here.
The defendant, Mrs. Elizabeth G. Wharton, is q
tall, elderly lady, with rather pleasant expires
sion of countenance, but looking haggard and
careworn from the anxiety consequent upon SO
long IL trial.
Various opinions are prevalent concerning her
guilt or innocence, the majority Of which, how
ever, are unfavorable to the prisoner, although
will be undoubtedly refuted. The opinion OF
cution of Mrs. Wharton seems to have under
gone sudden change. One of the principal
witnesses for the State declared to well known
lady of Baltimore city, previous to the trial,
that he did not believe Mrs. Wharton intended
to poison Van Ness, and now the other day he
swore distinctly TO the opposite belief.
There seems to be singular fatality attend
ant on this case. During the former trial the
wife and mother of one of the jurors died, and
now not only the Sheriff has died. but the broth.
or of q juror Mr.. Arnold, was drowned
while endeavoring to cross the Severn river on
the ice, last week; while an aunt of one of the
counsel for the defence died last week.
The cadets gave their annual ball on Friday
night, the 10th inst. 1t was, as such entertain
ments generally are, very grand affair. 1t was
held in the Gymnasium of the Naval Academy,
which was beautifully decorated with evergreens
and flowers, with fountain playing In the midst.
President Grant and family, Admiral Porter,
Secretary Robson and many other notabilities
were present, and appeared to enjoy the festiyi.
ties to their fullest extent. An excellent supper
with the Gymnasium by a canvas covered gal.
lery. After supper, at A. NJ, the German
began, and continued until o'clock.

A LONG EDIToRIAL CAREER-Our old
and valued friend, Mr. Charles b. Coale, for
thirty-three years editor Of the abingdon Vlr-
gilman, announces in that paper of the 18th
instant the withdrawal of himself and part
ner, Rev. George r. Barr, from the control
of the paper, which they have sold to Major
George r. Dunn. Our readers will recollect
the series of interesting and valuable papers,
entitled "Recollectons of the Olden Times
which were published in Tile I4gts several
years ago, and which were from the pen of
Mr.. Coale. We sincerely hope he has not
withdrawn finally from editorial life, but that
his familiar name may ere long grace the
editorial department of some newspaper with
which we may be privileged to exchange.
His friends in Old Hartford, his birth, place
and the scene of his earliest efforts in the
topographic art will learn with sincere re.
greet that the step alluded to has been render
ed necessary chiefly on account OF his ILL
health.

Our OF HIS PLACE.-Mr. N. A. McComas,
of this county, had in his employ negro
named George Christy, who slept in the
house. On Tuesday night, in going TO his
room he managed to take the key out of q
door leading TO a room occupied by some
lady members of Mr., McComass family
doubtless to prevent them from locking the
door About twelve o'clock at night he
stealthily opened the door of the ladies' room,
but was heard in doing so, and compelled to
leave. The next morning Constable Pyle
arrested him and he was committed to Jail by
Squire Gilbert.

Immediately opposite Port Deposit, on the
western bank of the river, is the small viii
lage of "Lapidum," with population ofabout
two hundred persons, where some of the ice
packing houses of Cochran & Co. and Oler
& Co., several large hay warehouses and
buildings for the storage of lime, &c, are To-
Gated. One of the large warehouses belong
ing to Davis & Pugh was entirely swept
away, as also an unfinished icehouse, several
wharves, &C., whilst the remaining buildings
on the low ground were flooded TO height
of Ave feet, and the stock damaged. The canal
works were also much injured. MANY ofthe
citizens are reported as having been driven
out of their houses. The damage, it is est.
mated, will not fall short of $4,000.
THE IMPRISONED ISLANDERS.
About q mile above Port Deposit, and OBJ
posite Rock Run, is located an Island ofabout
forty five acres, owned and farmed by two
brothers named Roberts, their farm house be.
ing on bluff near the upper end. The fam
lilies comprise four grown persons and five
children, who were caught on the island by
the flood, and have since been imprisoned,
with the waters running about them until it
reached the foundation of the house.
On Sunday last their cries of help were
heard on the river shore, but no aid could be
rendered. On Monday the gorge OF ice reach
ed entirely across, and the attempt to reach
them was discussed, but the fear of break
ing up atanY moment deferred even the stout.
hearted watermen from the attempt. Tues
day, by the use of speaking-trumpe peo-
pie on shore were enabled to communicate
with the men on the island, who were seen
near the house, but the conversation kept I'D
was indistinct, and no intelligent replies were
obtained. Therterrible situation excited the
commsseration of all on shore, but no means
of aiding them could be devised.
AN INCIDENT.
On Friday last a lady in one of the houses
on the lower side of Main street, named Mrs.
Duke, died after brief illness, and her re.
mains were to have been inferred at Havre
de Grace, on Sunday, but on that morning
the overflow came, and instead of burying
the dead the living inmates themselves came
very near perishing. They escaped through
the second story windows ofthe house, being
compelled to leave the dead body. Tuesday
Father Barry, of Havrc dc Grace, was sum
moned TO attend the funeral, but it was found
impossible to remove the remains from the
house, the street being flooded

The funeral of Mrs. Duke took place on
Wednesday, in boats, the funeral cortege of
row-boats filled with the friends OF the de-

the body was conveyed to Havre de Grace,
in vehicle.
RESCUE OF THE ISLANDERS
The imprisoned islanders were rescued on
Wednesday, by party of brave duckers and
fishermen, of Havre de Grace, commanded by
Mr.. John Leitheser. The Sun of yesterday
gives graphic account of the affair The
apparatus used was two life.boats, covered
with tin, and placed upon sled runners A
number of boat hooks and 500 feet of rope
completed the equipment. The party started
from Bells Ferry, placing the boats on the
ice-gorge, which was nineteen feet above the
The whole party stripped off their coats,
attached the rope to the first boat, and
thence to the second, leaving John and
Robert Mitchell and John T. Ives to handle
the ropes on shore. The start was then made
at about 8 A. NJ, and a crowd of perhaps fifty
persons, who had assembled on shore, watch
ed with breathless anxiety the slow and
labored progress of the party. At distance
of one hundred yards from shore John Came
ron went through the ice, but chung to the
boats side, and was soon up again. A few
feet further and the forward boat lurched

THE MARYLAND CENTRAL RAILROAD
The Baltimore Gazette of Monday publishes
the opinion of Albert Richie, Esq, the City
Solicitor, on the question as to whether the
ordinance of 1870, authorizing the city of
Baltimore to endorse the bonds of the Mary
land Central railroad, is repealed, or whether
it was revived by subsequent legislation Mr.
Ritchic discusses the matter very fully, and
comes to the conclusion that it has been re-
pealed. The question is an interesting one
and as being adverse to the general impress
sion, will doubtless attract attention and clio
it comment.
Mr. II. Clay Dallam, the legal adviser of
the Maryland Central Railroad, has given
an opinion adverse to that of the City Soil
citor.

Altogether the venture was q perious
one, but the braAe hearts pushed on until
Carrs Island was reached, over which the
water was flooded eight feet deep. AS
they approached the house theywere greeted
with shout of welcome, and were met at
the doorway by the women and children,
who shed tears of joy over the gallant men
who had come to their rescue Hope had
well nigh deserted them, and the time had
been spent in prayers for deliverance. On
Monday the later rose two feet in the

ready for return to shore, the ledies and
children were placed in the boats, liber-
al supply Of food was given to the stock
at the barn, and the brave band headed for
shore. Occasionally one or more of the
men would sink into the water, but his
comrades quickly lifted him out, and on
they went, arriving at the shore without a
mishap. MeD, women and children await
ed anxiously the result of the expedition,
and when the first boat touched the shore,
cheer after cheer went up from the wait
ing crowd.
The ladies and children were hurried
away to comfort and warmth in neighbor-
ing houses, men were grasped warmly
by the hands and hurried away bv
friends, and in few moments the boat
men were being entertained by Dr. w. W..
Virdin, residing near Lapidum, who pre-.
sented them with purse of $50. The hon
