L Is admitted that THRs ADVOCATE ID
one Of the best pefsrs in the State, Il is
wen printed on fine white paper, with
clear beautiful type, and contains sll the
latess news, At home and abroad, giving a
synopsis Of local and general intelligence
such as csnnot be found in any other pa
per It not only gives the county as.os,
but compendium Of everything worthy
Of note in the country at large, as well as
an intelligible account Of European affairs,
keeping its readers posted, as nearly as
possible, upon al subjects Of general inter-
est.
The ADVOCATE, as We are assured, Is
regarded with just pride BY the intelli-
gent citizens Of our county, as county
organ. They see and recognize the fact
that it is closely identified with their in
terests, and labors necessarily to develop
the resources Of the county and to pro-
mote its welfare in every respect. Its
subscription list is gradually and steadily
increasing but might be extended much
more, and its field Of usefulness thereby
greatly enlarged. There are $500 voters
in Carroll county, not more than $500 Of
whom take the county papers. II would
hardly be believed, without inquiry into
the subject, that there are 1000 citizens
Of this county who do not take their county
papers. We desire to call the attention
Of those citizens who do take them, to this
fact, and we appeal to every reader of THE
ADvocATE to use his best exertions to get
his neighbors who do not take it, to sub
scribe for il at once 1t is not our inter-
est alone that win be subserved by it, Sut
the interest Of the public, as well. Any
one win see this who will bestow little
reflection upon the subject, The local pa
per is the vehicle by which citizens living
IN remote parts Of the county communicate
with each other, and with the public, in a
business sense, as well as in a political
sense. The wider the circulation of a
newspaper, the wider its influence and the
| greater its usefulness. VIII the friends Of
THE ADVOCATE endeayor to extend its
circulation in every available way, and
thus increase its usefulness. Weask every
friend Of this paper to make the effort il
his own neighborhood.

EGscts Of tho Panic,

The worst news that burdened the
telegraph last night was the announcement
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
being unable to pay up their diyidens now
duo in cash, had resolved to issue a scrip
divided. Although the telegraph reports
put the best face possible on the situation,
yet it is certain that the thousands Of
people Of small means who have large
part Of their savings invested IN the
Companys stock cannot turn this scrip
which they must take into cash, except at
considerable loss and that they will suiler
accordingly. 1t is not possible that the
Company viii be seriously embarrassed, but
it is curious that the master mind under
whom its immense operations have been
spread over the country should tender his
resignation at this time However, the
Directors thought that they could not dis.
pense with Col. Scots services, and accord
ingly refused TO receive his resignation, The
announcement that the Bank of England
discount rate was raised to 8 per cont
yesterday had the effect of advancing the
gold premium aud depressing stocks, A
subsequent despatch telling Of great dcprcs-
sion in stocks and of decided symptoms Of
panic at the worlds financial centre
created considerable alarm in Wall street,
but the effect was less disastrous than
might have been expected. Baltimore

presiding, at which resolutions were adop-
ted calling for means to furnish a new
expedition to Cuba. A committee was
appointed to solicit subscriptions. Indi-
viduals present gave $500, and La Pro,ec.

The SENATORIAL QUESTION letter
from Annapolis to the Baltimore papers
says The great probability that Governor
Whyte will be elected by the Legislature
to the seat in the United States Senate
made vacant the 4th of March, 1875. by
the expiration of the term of Hon. William
I. Hamilton, naturally throws considerable
interest around the question how the
vacancy in the Goyernorship is to be filed
The constitution provides that in the
event OF vacancy occurring during the
session of the General Assembly, the
Legislature shall elect some person 10 gin
the Office. It's suggested Governor WHITE
need not resign, If elected Senator. until
the 4th Of March, 1875. If a vacancy
occurs during the interim of the session Of
the Legislature the president of the Senate
becomes the governor. If he be disquali-
fed for any reason, then the speaker Of the
House takes the gubernatorial chair. If
either Of these cannot or will not serve.
(thc latter an unlikely contingency then
the Secretary of State is authorized to ca,l
the Legislature together to elect a Cover

HoRRIBLE BurcHERIEs IN CUBA.-If
the last advices from the sever faithful
isle" Of Cuba do not arouse the govern
ment Of the United States to decisive
action in the interests Of civilization and
humanity, we need not wonder if brutal
and wholesale massacres shall continue to
be the common mode hereafter, as hereto
fore, Of the dealings Of the Cuban rulers
with all who resist their authority and fall
into their hands We first hear of four
passengers Of the Virginius being shot
within few days Of their capture then of
eighty rebel prisoners taken in battle on
the island being killed, and the tidings now
come that the captain and thirty-six ofthe
crew Of the Virginius were executed at
Santiago de Cuba on the 18th inst, and on
the next day that twelve more Of the Cuban
volunteers were to be shot. 1t is also
reported that several passengers, both men
and women, BY the steamer City of New
York, which has arrived in Havana, had
been arrested on landing, being accused of
completely with the instruction Wheth-
err there is any foundation or not for this
rumor, the wholesale slaughter of the men
Of the Virginius ought to elicit some decid-
ed action on the part of this government.
The high-handed atrocities Of the Span
ish officials are regarded abroad as well as
here as likely to demand redress. Capital,
with its usual sensitiveness, indicates that
there is apprehension of serious complica-
tion from the Spanish massacres, and that
they ought not to be passed over without
decisive action. --Baltimore Sun.

The INTERCEPTED LETTERS" is the
title Of pretty little story, on the first
page, written in the most approved style of
such productions, which win be read with
: pleasure BY those who have a relish for
stories Of the heart, some Of whom, even
of the sterner sex, have been craving such
reading, and demonstrating against the
stories Of pirates, big snakes, and other
monstrosities which have occasionally found
their way into our columns. But the stern
man Of business who has passed his prime,
and even forgotten the tender sensibiIities
which filed bis bosom in his earlier years,
VIII say Away with your love stories,
and all such soft nonsense give US some
thing of different sort There's the
difficulty We have to cater to the tastes
ofall, the young and the old, the stern and
the gentle What one likes, the other re-
jects but We will try to give to all some
hing that win be acceptable, to each a
portion in due season, The STORY in ques-
ton is certainly sssry readable one, and
may be read BY young and old.
