The report comes from the hunting
grounds in the northern part of the
State that deer are scarce and that
only about one hunter out of three who
comes out of the woods has any gam"
with him. One party which came out
after having made a trip down the Al
legash. claimed that they had not been
able to get deer enough to keep the
party in fresh meat. and the trip was
only a short one at that. This condl-
ton seems to be general throughout
the game lands and that the deer are
missing from the haunts where they
we're once so plentiful there is no doubt,
but whether they have been Killed of
or have moved TO other regions WhCre
there is more food cannot be said.

The OLD NATIONAL ROAD.

/ Congressman George a. Pearre,
of the Sixth Maryland district, by
his measure looking to the restor-
alton and care Of the old National
road by the United States, has
aroused general interest in that
historic highway, long known as
the "Appian Way Of America.
About four years ago a good
roads convention was held in Cum
berland in which this suggestion
was made and approved, and later
on Congressman Pearre introduced
his measure to give effect to the
plan. This measure has received
universal approval, and Congress
could not do a more popular thing
than to enact the Pearre bill. If
this is done, and even if it is not
done, Washington should be con-
nected with the system of turn
pixies III Western Maryland by a
good highway leading to Freder-
lex. The building of such a road
by the United States has often
been proposed, but nothing has
been done. The Capital City is
intimately and closely concerned
i'll the character of the roads which
give access to it, and the United
States should in Justice at least
help to build them. In point of
fact, however, Congress has never
taken any interest nor made any
appropriation for highways tor the
use and accommodation of the citi-
zens of Washington outside of the
District of Columbia. The War
Department is constantly sending
troops ON marches up through
Montgomery county, and for that
reason, along with the other reas.
ons, Congress should construct
this road. Maryland is about to
make a splendid highway into
Washington leading from Balti.
more, and it will be greatly to the
advantage of the Capital City, af.

and made prisoners Of both gener-
ais. as well as the Adiutant-Gen-
eral of the department, Thayer
Melvin, and carried the distir-
guished captives safely to Rich
mond The raiders entered the
city about $50 a. M, and on this
expedition had to make an almost
continuous ride of % miles, 50 in
the advance and 90 in returning, TO
a point Of safety, and in the mean
time fighting off all pursuers and
successfully Guiding nearly 1000
cavalry, sent from New Creek and
Winchester, to cut off their re-
treat.
Although it was of no special
military Importance, this was the
last and most brilliant exploit of
the Rangers. Had it occurred at
an earliest period Of the war it
would have made a more marked
impression on the public mind and
been given a more prominent place
in history. But as it was, it is
an almost forgotten event, for the
eyes and the interest of the people
of the North and OF the South were
anXiously centered at the time
vpOn the death struggle OF the Con-
federacy, then taking place at
Petersburg, and they had eyes and
ears for nothing else. Lee, at the
head Of the ragged remnants of his
once invincible army, was making
his last stand, and his gallant and
devoted veterans, the victors Of so
many desperate conflicts, were
soon to suCCumb to the irresistible
logic Of superior physical force,
eXemplihed in the overpowering
legions of Grant. The principle Of
attrition was being applied in
modern warfare by a master hand
and the big stone finally wore out
the little one on the fateful field of
Appomattox.
BY an act of the Confederate
Congress, February II, 1864, all
independent organizations were
abolished as such, and the same
were merged into the regular ser
vice. A proviso, however, gave
authority to the Secretary of War,
whe; in his judgment the inter
e5ts of the service demanded, to
exempt from the operations Of this
act any organization Of the kind
that operated 'entirely wiA1in the
lines of the enemy" Under this
proviso the demands of Mosby
and Mcneil alone, of all the indie
pendent forces connected with the
Army of Northern Virginia, were
exempted from the operations Of
this act and SO remained until the
final collapse of the Southern Con-
federacy.

fording facilities for people with
automobiles and in other vehicles
t. visit it. The Maryland counties
of Prince Georges and Moutgom-
cry have taxed themselves heavily
building roads into Washington.
which are as much used by the
people of that city as by the coun-
ty people. And now is the time
for Congress to do something. Not
only should the road from Wash
ington to Frederick be made by
Congress, but the road from Bal
timore to Washington might with
great Justice be continued by tbs
United States all the way fronsS
Baltimore to Philadelphia. No
locality would profit more by
highway leading from PhiladeI-
phia 10 Washington than the lat
ter city.
The restoration Of the National
road, contemplated by Mr.. Pearre.
concerns many States even more
intimately than it does the State
of Maryland. No great length OF
it lies in this State. 1t begins at
Cumberland, which is its eastern
terminus, and not far west of that
city it passes into Pennsylvania.
The age Of this great highway is
just 100 years. It was conceived
by Henry Clay, who built up the
Wing party largely upon the
theorp that the United States
should engage in great system of
internal improvements, and this
one was designed to give access
for the people of the Mississippi
Valley through the mountains TO
the seaboard. It was made to be-
gin at Cumberland 50 as not to in
terfere with various schemes for
toll roads which were starting i'll
Maryland about that time.
! It was, however, several years
after the National road had con-
nected Cumberland with the Ohio
river, before there was a continu-
Gus good road all the way from
\ Cumberland to Baltimore. The
last link, that between Hagers-
rown and Boonsboro, was made
about 1920, and then there was
continuous splendid stone road all
the way from Cumberland to the
Ohio river, where traffic took to
steamboats,. East of Cumberland
\ there were toligates at short inter
walls, the road have been built by
several corporations, to the capital
stock of which the banks wen
compelled by state law to subscribe
as a condition Of receiving or re-
newing their charters. One of the
most popular Federal Offices during
the early part Of the nineteenth
century was that Of superintendent
Of the National road. Casper
Viewer, who started a great manu-
featuring enterprise on the Poto-
mac at Weverton, in Washington
comfy, held this office for a series
of years, and President Jackson
raised local hubbub by removing
him because he was 4 Wing AZ
ter Federal appropriations for
maintenance ceased that part of
the road which was in Maryland
| quickly went into bad condi-
ton, except the splendid arches
and masonry, which have lagely
defed time, The bank roads,
as they were called, eastward from
Cumberland continued to collect
tolls and were kept in repair by
that means until the great freshet
Of 1880, when the pike between
the ConOcocheague creek and Side
! ling Hill was so badly damaged
that the corporation which owned
it declined to repair it and surren-
dered it to the County Commits
sioners of Washington county.
