mise to realization of the terribly
pressing need. President Lincoln Is
sued a call for $1,000 volunteers.
The suddenly aroused nation re-
sponded without delay to its presi-
dents call. BY June Of 1861 the north
ern army was 250.OO0 strong, the
northern navy increased to 60 adequate
warships and 1,348 big guns. Patriot
ism flared up in somewhat belated
but no less ardent form. The north
buzzed with warlike, hurried prepare
tons.
The south was equally active. In
reply to Lincoln's call for volunteers
four more states seeded and Joined
the Confederacy. These were Virginia.
Arkansas, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima.
The Confederate soldiers were better
drilled and equipped and better off,
cered than those of the north. Had
they made sudden dash for Wash
ington when war was declared the ma
tons capital might readily have fallen
into their hands. Several Of the bor-
der suites Kentucky, Maryland and
Missouri-though nominally loyal to
the Union. sent many troops to swell
the southern armies.
jefferson Davis issued an invitation
to privateers to prey on United states
commerce, and Lincoln retaliated by
declaring all Confederate ports In a
state Of blockade. The southern capt.
tai was transferred in May. 1861. from
Montgomery to Richmond, Va, where
large bodies Of troops were already
massing. A ceaseless stream Of Fed
eral regiments was filling Washington
In anticipation of attack. On May "a
the north made It's first active move.
The Union forces Invaded Virginia.
and the actual war began.
Such northerners as had looked for
ward to speedy and easy victory were
doomed to bitter disappointment. The
north was impatient. People raised
the cry Of ION to Richmond" urging
the capture Of the Confederate capital.
General Scott, then an old and feeble
man. was In chief command OF the
Union armies. He listened to the pop
ular voice and sent General Mcdowell
with vanguard of $4,000 men to be-
yin the advance. Mcdowell. who was
in command OF the army stationed In
front Of Washington. moved forward
into Virginia toward Manassas, where
1888 Confederates. under General
Renuregard. lay intrenched. The rival
armies outpusts clashed In q Skin
mish at Blackburn ford. with loss Of
about sixty men on each side. On
July 20 General tombstone came up
with nine additional regiments and
took command of the southern army.
Next day the general battle began.
The scene of the encounter was just
west Of narrow stream known as
Bull run.
1t was the first great fight OF the
civil war-a fight In which more men
were engaged on either side than the
United States had ever put into the

JUSTICE COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Oyster planters and crabbers' rights
were extensively discussed by attorneys
IN case tried before Justice Tom
Williams at Reedville on Wednesday.
Thomas L. Cockrell, ESQ.,, who holds
planting grounds abreast Of his home,
Melville, on Great Wicomico, ordered
crabber to stop Grabbing on his oyster
beds. and not succeeding in getting
him away. shot and, according to the
evidence. struck the crabber on several
parts Of his body. The case was called
at 2 p. m, and after considerable spar
ring by the lawyers and after two or
three warrants had been quashed on
technicalities, the case at late hour
was gone into. In trying the case a
decision of the Circuit Court two or
threeyears ago involving oyster planting
and Grabbing rights on the Great Wicom-
leo was freely referred to. in which, as
stated, the judge had decided that the
crabber could go between high-water
and low-water marks, but when he
vent on leased grounds he became a
trespasser. The Justice, while adopt
ing that as a correct statement of the
law, decided that Mt. Cockrell in using
his gun had adopted too violent means
70 get the tFespasser off, and placed
against him fine of $1,000. Common
weaith's Attorney Clarence S. Towles
assisted by Cox 3. Hugh Smith prose
ipted the case. Frank G. Newbill repre-
scented the defense,

HIGH SCHOOL MATTERS.

The location Of the proposed high
school in the upper part of White
Chapel District is causing considerable
trouble. Wheaton and Litwslton are
the only two contestants for the school.
and last summer the district school
board decided by vote of two to one
to locate the school at Wheaton. Those
in favor Of Litwalton took an appeal to
the county trustee electoral board,
which, after hearing the case, reversed
the action of the district board and de-
cided that the school should be located
at Litwalton. The district board. hold
ing that the trustee electoral board had
no authority to locate q school, but
only to affirm or reverse the action of
the district board, met recently and by
a vote of two to one selected another
site for the school near the village of
Wheaton. This action on the part Of
the district school board has aroused
much feeling and indignation among
those who favor Litwalton, and who
contend that as only two places were
contending for the school the trustee
electoral board has full power under
the law TO locate the school at I.itwal-
ton. They have employed Thomas ].
Downing as counsel. and he has applied
to Judge Wright for an injunction to
restrain the school board from proceed
ing further till the case can be- settled
according to the power of law.-Lan-
