"A Baltimore paper says zone of our Balti-
more county divines had two hours fight recent
ly with a colored man, whom he considered bur-

Rev. George K. Little, better known as the
"boy preacher" who has been engaged in revival
work in this county, has just closed meeting at
William Street Independent NJ. E. church, Balti-
more, which had been in progress four months.
During that time nearly 400 persons professed
conversion and hundreds were turned away from
the church every night, being unable to gain adj
mittance because of the crowd.
The many friends of Mr.. Samuel Pinker-
ton and Col james Miller will be glad to know
that Gov. Hamilton has again appointed them
Justices of the Peace. Both of these gentlemen
were dropped by Gov. Carroll because they saw
fit to act Independently in politics and the present
Governor has been just enough to restore them to
positions which they both so acceptably filled. In
this case as in others justice has been slow,
but it has come at last.

count, copied from the Philadelphia Times, of the
killing of Mr.. Edward Gorsuch, of this county, at

remarks the editor states that Mr.. G. was killed
by of his own slaves. The writer of the Times
article who was present at the riot says that none
of Mr.. Gorsuch's slaves were engaged in it, Per-
haps the Journal man is better informed than the
man who was on the spot and saw the killing.
The Elicott City Times referring to the
handsome hall lately fitted up by Hon. James A.
Gary for his mill operatives at Alberton, pays |
that gentleman the following we'll -merited COM
pliment: "Mr. Gary is constantly endeavoring |
to improve and refine the social and intellectual
nature of his employees and to surround them
with all the comforts of this enlightened age. He
does not lock up all his money in mortgages,
ground rents, and other non-taxable securities |
and live unhonored to die unwept but there is in
him the true spirit of generous charity and intel
ligent enterprise"
