GREAT Cry AND LITTLE WooL.-At
the last Fall election in Prince George
county, there was a failure to elect County
Clerk, the Republican Clerk claiming to
have been elected and the Democratic can
didate declaring he had been cheated
There was difference of seven votes, we
believe. The election was upset by the
Legislature and new trial had last week.
In the new trial Henry Brooks, the Demo-
cratic Clerk, counts out three votes more
than his opponent. Over this result The
Prince Georgian is wild, and in long primer
caps shouts:
"THE BATTLE HAS BEEN FOUGHT
the VICTORY WON, AND THE BAN
NER OF DEMOCRACY ONCE MORE
FLOATS PROUDLY OVER A TRIUM-
PLANT PARTY AND A RANSOMED
PEOPLE"
After about column of this kind of
hellowing the overjoyed editor winds up
with the following invitation to dance:
"Suppose now, dear friends we rally
round the flag a little, and sing to the
gong of another Democratic victory in
Prince Georges county"
There is so much cry and apparently so
little WOOL that we are tempted to believe
that the editor must expect to find a fleece
in the Clerks Office. ~

WAR IN ARKANsAs.-A dispatch from
Little Book, Arkansas dated April 30th,
says: General King White, who has charge
of the Baxter forces at Pine Bluff, hearing
that a party of Brooks men were assem-
bled at New Gascony, in Jefferson county,
committing depredations, moved a column
of two hundred men down to thar point
to-day for the purpose of dispensing them.
A despatch tonight to General Newton,
from Pine Bluff, says General White sent
forward flag of truce to order the men to
disperse, but they fired upon the party,
and regular battle ensued, in which nine
of the Brooks party were killed and twen-
ty wounded. The remainder we're taken
prisoners, disarmed and sent home. Gen.
eral White reports seven of his own COM
mand wounded and three horses killed.

of Northern Louisiana, and he states that

several days they have been in actual want

The grave of Edgar Allen Poe is re-
ported to be in disgracefully shabby con-
dstion. And this is the condition of the
last resting places of a number of our
eminent men. And this suggests the ques-
ton whether we ought not to have places
consecrated to the burial of the great and
famous. England wants an American to
bury in Westminster Abbey to show that
she appreciates the ties of friendship and
the claims of blood. But we want better
place than Westminster Abbey to show
our appreciation of genius and greatness
If we let our generals die of neglect and
our authors starve we cannot do less than
treasure up their ashes and give them
fitting tomb at the public expense.

John Short, the prisoner who ran a

whole year, until "blown on by another
convict, to whom he refused credit. OF

ner At the same time they made large
profits on Struggled groceries, tobacco and
segars, estimated at 1000 per cent. The
keeper, who was with him, was able to
build four-story house with his share.
Subsequently a small copper still and some
worms were struggled into the prison, and
set up in an Clubhouse, where gunpowder
and nitro glycerine, for blasting rocks are
stored and though well-watched, and once
locked up in dark cellar ON suspicion,
Short had Sc, 443 when he left the prison,

the barley he wanted, as large quantities
were used in the soup-houses, and the
