"COME AND SEE ME."—Never take
"come and see me," as a phrase, meant in
earnest, unless accompanied with a date.—
All invitations"without circumstances" is no
invitation - at A, Depend upon it, if any
gentleman or lady desires your cdmpany, he
or she will appoint a time for your visit.—
"Call on me when you can make it conve
nient," drop in as you ate passing," "make
us a visit whenever you have an hour or
two to spare," are social indefinites by'which
men of the world understand that they are
not.expected to do the thing requested.—
When people wish to be cheaply polite,
there is nothing like this kind of vagueness.
It is never worth its face, or anything like
it. Yet it is a convenient medium of ex
change for all that, and heavy debts of grat
itude., that ought to be paid in better coin,
aro often paid with it. People that have
more polish than principle use it lavishly;
plain, blunt, honest men sparingly or not at
all. Whoever makes a friendly visit at a
fashionable house on the strength of amete
"come and see," will be likely enough to
find the family circle which he has dropped
into by request, as uncongenial as the arctic
!tone ; and to leave it with a chill feeling a-
bout the heart that will prevent him from
venturing into the same high latitude there
aftet. Jut when a whole sonled fellow,

We have always understood that the land
in Caroline is among the poorest f i n the

commenting on the above- sales says:. "We
would advise all persons, whether . residents
here or elsewhere, who, wish to purchase
farms in this county, to do so speedily, be
fore the price of lands go up, 'They are
cheap at present, but how long they will
remain so, now that Maryland is a Free
State, no one can tell." The Somerset .11er
old, in an extract which we published yes
terday, says that "more land is wanted;
Northerners continue to visit this county
(Somerset), looking for farms." Well may
the President say that "the genius of rebel
lion will no more claim Maryland."

Ca.- The advices from General Grant's ar

be expected. The column under Gen. War

of the Second Corps, and two brigades of
cavalry, which started South on Wednesday
morning, are known to have crossed the Not

Stony Creek without opposition.

Several - marine disasters took place off the

before assistance could be rendered went to
pieces, and all on board were lost.
A Mennonite Wedding took place at Lan
caster, on Sunday last. To those of the au
dience who were never present at a wedding'
of members of that denomination, the affair
was novel and interesting. The sermon was
appropriate to the occasion. The preacher
read from the 3d to the 10th verses of the
19th chapter of Matthew, and from the .22d
verse to the end of the sth chapter of Ephe
sians, basing his remarks on these passages
of scripture. The whole discourse was de
voted to the duties of the candidates for ma
trimony to each Other, and their spiritual re
lations to "Christ, the head of the Church."
At the conclusion of the regular exercis e s,
the marriage rite was performed in front of
the pulpit. The bridegroom was asked: wheth
er he believed this sister of his faith was al
lotted by Christ to be his wife, and , whether
he was tree from all other women persons.—
Affirmative answers being given, similar ques
tions were put to the bride and answered.—
The usual questions were then put and an
swered, when the twain were pronounced man
and wife. The manner of bringing about
marriage between the members of this denom
ination differs from that of other Christian...
What is called "Alining" is done by their
preackers, the candidates for matrimonial
honoff: not being allowed to visit the object
of their affections. When a brother wishes
to take to himself one of the sisters as a wife,
the fact is communicated to the pieacher,
who makes known , to the sister the •feelings
of this br43ther, and if no objections be made
on her part, the bans are published in church
and the wedding takes place io duo time.—

The Arming, of the Slaves..
The message of the Governor of Virginia
recommends, it will be seen, the arming of
the slaves as suggested by Jeff. Davis:
"The only question is - has - the — time - arriv=
ed? Are We able, beyond a qUestion, to wage
successful war against a Power three times
our own in numbers,
with all Europe from
which to recruit, and who unhesitatingly put
arms in the hands of our own negroes for our
I destruction? I will not say that, under the
proiridenee of God, we may not be able to
I triumph; but I do say that we should not
from -any- mawkish- sensibility; refuse- any
, means within our reach _which will ten o
enable us to work out our deliverance. wr
my part, standing before God and my coun-
try, I do ,not hesitate to say that I would arm
such portion of our able-bodied slave popula
tion as may de necessary, and put them in the
field, so as to have them ready for the spring
campaign, even if it resulted is the freedom
of those thus organized Will I not employ
them to fight the negro force of that enemy
—aye, the Yankees themselves—who already
boast that they have two hundred thousand
of our slaves in arms against us? Can we
hesitate, can we doubt, when the question is
whether our enemy shall use our slaves a
gainst
us, or we use them against,him?• when
the question may be between liberty and in
dependence ou the one hand or our subjuga
tion and-utter-ruin - on - th - e - dtMirYknoiv it
is the opinion of some of the l:yhett mlitary
authorities that the time has come when we
should call our slaves to our assistance, and
I hold it to be clearly the duty of every cit
izen, however much he may doubt the wis
dom and necessity of the policy, .to co-oper
ate
in strengthening by every means our ar
mies. I repeat, I know this policy is looked
to with anxiety by some of the ablest milita
ry men of the age, who believe that it is of
the last importance that it should be adopt]
ed without delay. I therefore earnestly
recommend to the Legislature 'that they
should give this subject early consideration
and enact such measures as their wisdom
may approve.
