LETTER FROM MICHIGAN. =.
Admiral" Reside once Resident of
Baltimore County.
BAY CRY, MIcH., August l4th, 1878

BAY CITY, MICH., August l4th, 1878.
Editors of Union The memoir in your issue
of 10th inst, of Admiral Reside does not mention
the fact that he was for long time resident Of
Baltimore county. He may have been born there
but think not, having the impression that he
came with his parents from Scotland in eighteen
hundred and ''evcr so few" The parents at least
were Scotch and used to live on Bull Ridge, on the
road between the Manor church and CromwelPs
bridge, about two miles from the latter place. The
house with the small farm attached was afterwards
sold to the late Mr.. james Carroll and incorpora-
ted in his Summerfield estate. 1t was small,
rather neat log structure and probably still stands
Here the old folks kept what would now possibly
be called 'hotel," but in the unsophistcated
times of which l write was known as "grog
shop" They had the proverbal Scotch thrift and
raised their family respectfully.
James Reside / think, was blacksmith by
trade and once carried on a shop that stood in the
fork of the roads on the east side of Meredith :
Ford, on the Windsor estate, at that time owned
by d. d. Fitzhugh. This is however only an i'm
preston which may be incorrect but there is some
connection firmly planted in my memory between
Admiral Reside and that old shop. Perhaps he
was only customer, but after he became dis
tinguished man | have heard Mr.. Fitzhugh say
that he left Baltimore county in his debt either for
rent or for work done at the said shop.
The writer never remembers to have seen James
Reside but knew his brother David very well.-
The latter was mason and worked at his trade
in the ueighborhood surrounding his residence
the old log house aforesaid He was tall spare
man with a ready wit pointed by twinkling eye
and a slight impeachment in his speech which made
him very good company
| There are probably survivors in the county who
can tell more about James Reside than the slight
reminiscenee here presented. William F. Peerce
would have known all about him, but he, with most
| ofhis contemporaries, has departed. Possibly Mr.
| jeremiah Yellott may recall something that has
escaped me- At all events James Reside was in
the early years of his life a resident of Baltimore
county, iR very humble circumstances, and is an
other signal example of sef-made men. 1t is to
show this that have thought it worth while to
send you this letter. +.

l8-A plan has been adopted by our govern
ment in reference the pursuit of the cattle thieves
on the Rio Grande that will probably prevent war
between this country and Mexico by avoiding a
conflict with the Mexican forces. Our troops are
to follow the raiders into Mexico, but if on Mexi-
can soil they should be met by an armed force in
battle array they are to withdraw to Texas and
report the fact Of the opposition and await the ac-
ton of the President thereon. The troops Of Diaz
will be very apt to follow regulars to the Rio
Grande, but they will probably be slow to commit
any act of real hostility unless empowered to do so
by their government in direct terms. If fight
should occur it may precipitate war, and SO it is
to be hoped that bur military commanders in Texas
win act with great prudence, so that the blame OF
conflict will rest entirely with their adyersaries,
The policy will be to avoid conflicts, but if they
come and lead to war the result is not doubtful
In that event our Southern border will be fixed at
the Sierra Madre Mountains, where it should be
now.

gaS-The yellow fever seourge continues unaba-
ted in several Southern cities and the distress
easioned by it is terrible. In some instances
whole families have been swept away in a few days
and people are fleeing by hundreds to places where
the fever does not exist thus in some instances
spreading the disease. The town of Grenada,
Miss, has been almost depOpulated either by death
or the fight of those who could get away. The
Jail was thrown open at that place and all the
prisoners liberated and told to fee for their lives.
All branches of business have ceased and it is
with difficulty the dead can be buried, as nearly
every person left in the town is down with the
fever. Much want exists and aid is being asked
from the more favored cities andtowns. Baltimore
has responded nobly and her good people still con-
tnue to contribute literally for the relief of the
suffering.
