for reasons satisfactory to ourself,
we were glad to meet again so very
agreeable gentleman, who by his
courteous manner, considerate nature

of eight or ten years, we do so
with best wishes for the house and
their very gentlemanly and clever

GREAT POPUL ANR ROUTE
Is the "OId Bay Line" Plying Its
Elegant and PaIatial Steamers
Between Baltimore and Nor.

At this season of the year 4 more
delightful trip, covering the same
distance at the same cost in time
and money, cannot be conceived than
that made on one of the swift and
elegant steamers OF the ..Old Bay
Line between Baltimore and Nor
folk. Over the smooth and placid
waters of the Chesapeake, their fleet
flyers glide like thing of life with
seldom a semblancc of roughness to
disturb the equanimiiyof the pas
senger.
The present time is very oppor-
tune for newspaper men from tho
North and far West to travel South.
About this time of the year the New
Jersey editors generally make
tour through the South, and the
''Old Bay Line possessing steamers
equal TO any emergency, they have
expressed their intention of travelling
on them in the near future.
BY taking a flying trip TO Fortress
Monroe. via Baltimore and the Bay
Line every wish will be gratiiicd, IA
soon after these steamers leave their
moorings at Union Dock, they pass
Fort McHenry and the traveller has
fine uninterrupted view of the
ocean until they reach Hampton
Roads and would return with vivid
rccollections of Life on the ocean
| wave"
The stability of these well-known
steamers caused the Auxiliary Naval
Department to use them in transport
ing the MARYLAND Naval Reserves To
Fortress Monroe, where the first de-
tachment was sent recently. These
magnificent steamers being so strong
ly built and capable of such remarka-
bic speed, being the -Aiftcst boats on
the Chesapeake Bay, they can land
Government troops from Fort Nc.
Henry to Fortress Monroe within a
very few hours. And approaching this
fact it was via the ..oid Bay Line"
that the Southern delegates to the
| Quadrennial Conference OF the NJ. +.
Church. South. decided To reach
Baltimore, while the members of the
Southern Baptist Convention reached
Norfolk coming from the other
direction over the same route. All
OF which goes to show that when
large bodies are TO be handled as
well as individuals the .'Old Bay
Line" is equal to any occasion.
When the battleships and cruisers
composing Commodore Schley's fly
ing squadron were riding at anchor
in Hampton Roads hundreds Of
persons living inland, far away from
the Notifications of the seaboard.
took advantage OF the opportunity
to visit Old Point via the Bay Line
and behold the prowess Of Uncle Sam.
And although these vessels have
gone there are other attractions in
that vicinity-Fortress Monroe, the
great ship building yards at New
port News, the Hygea and Chamber
lain Hotels, &c, and from now on
through the summer pleasure seekers
and others will travel in large num-
bers by the ..Old Bay Line" the
peoples popular route.

Thrice is he armed who hath his

country are divided as to the Justice
or propriety or necessity Of the war

disagree as to what is the duty Of
all American patriots now that the
war is actually begun. 1t is not a

impulses of kindling soul under
the glow and glare Of patriotic fervor
and the pregnant compulsions OF
war. As the Chicago Intcr Ocean

Gov. Russell Objects.

A Raleigh dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun, says: at seems that the
First Regiment, North Carolina vol
unteers, will use the rifles, equip
ments and tents it now has as it's
campaign equipment, though these
were issued to the National Guard.
Such is the order from Washington.
1t was expected it would be armed
with new rifles, calibre 80, and get
new equipment. There is surprise
that the government has failed to
provide these things.
An attempt was made to have the
Governor turn over to the volunteers
all government property in the hands
of the National Guard companies
which failed to volunteer, but he re-
fused to do so, saying he wanted the
companies armed.
