shall, under any circumstances, pass
through the mail, or be carried either
IN or on any mail car, carriage or con-
veyance whatever. under penalty of
the law, &c. We have argued for
sometime that Sheriff Riley was en-
titled to a mail carrier, as Maryland
hasn't got her full quote of officers,
no how. We hear some curious ex-
pressions from the sapsuckers occa-
sionally. One fellow said that "all
the people that voted for local option
were fools; just wait two years and
we will send a man there that will
repeal this law" Now my dear vim
egar-headed friend, let me tell you
that you are closer to whiskey now
than you will ever be again in Garrett
county. Two years from now we 1.-THE
party in power) will send our men
there, who will make the laws so
stringent that it will even take the
appetite for strong drink from you.
One of the leading distillers of this
county passed through here the other
day en- route for Cumberland. They
said that he had gone there to sue
the United States. but he came back
riding in company with a preacher.
We don't know whether the man OF
God captured him or not. He had
him, all the samee. They say if we
don't let him sell that he is going to
sue the county. Well, that looks
more like it, but by the time he gets
through with the iaUiacibtes, me
thinks he won't have money enough
left to distill whiskey in teakettle.
And now, Mr.. Editor, let me, in
behalf of all the temperance people OF
Garrett county, thank you for the
use of your very excellent paper dur
ing the siege. Although its columns
were thrown open to both sides, we
venture to say that you never tore
any of the coats of the enemy trying
to get them to fill up your valuable
columns with their whiskey missiles
ana while you may be among the last
to receive the congratulations and
thanks of your host of temperance
friends, you sir, was not least among
the brave officers who fought SO gal
lantIy during the late Campaign,
whilst Generals Getty and Price
swept over the county with their re-
spective armies, and brayer set o.
troops never fought over a battle
field, dealing their death blows to
the foes and enemies of Christian civ
| ilization, the old REPUBLICAN mon
itor was sending in her broad-sides
in tones that spoke louder than thun
der, and her solid shot literally pull
verified the rum power and saved the
capital and county from disgrace.
And now a word to our whole ar
my of Temperance workers. While
victory is perched high upon Oul
! banners, let us not grow careless ant
sleep upon our arms while the enc
my is preparing for the the final at
tack. Let us keep our muskets anC
equipments in trim and field pieces
in order, and to keep the old monitor
frightened up with regular large
practice every week with squib
from every quarter of the county
The monitor will be supported by thu
pencil corps. Should there be infor
nation wanted by any part OF thu
army it will be cheerfully given BY
the General.in-Chief, whose head
quarters are here with direct teIe
graphic communication.
