The Advocate of June 26, 1863, has at the head of its editorial page an apology as follows: "We are again compelled to apologize for the contents of our paper, owing to the continued serious illness of the editor."
The war news of this time was of great interest to Baltimore county people. War was very close to them. The latest news under the heading "The Maryland Raid," is as follows:
"We learn from Major General Schenck's Headquarters that information was received last evening from his scouts, on the South Mountain, that the Rebel (general Ewell's entire force is now in the Boonsboro Valley, numbering not less than thirty-five to forty thousand men. The scouts state that they approached on the mountains within view of the

enemy's enampments and were certain that they do. not exaggerate his strength.—They were scouting through the surrounding country and gathering supplies and forage. They crossed at Antietam Ford and appeared to be settled down for a lengthened occupation. There were no indications of a movement in the direction of Frederick, but their foraging parties were scouring the country across the Pennsylvania line.
The Advocate of July 10, 1863, was full of war news of the most ¦ thrilling kind. The surrender ?f I Vicksburg was announced in the 'following dispatch to the Secretary-of the Navy: "To Hon. Gideon Wells, Sec. of the Navy—
Sir:—I have the honor to inform you that Vicksburg has surrendered to the forces of the United States on this th day of July.
Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, D. D. Porter, Acting Rear Admirala.'"
There is also an imperfect account of the battle of Gettysburg, but full enough to show that the Union forces were* triumphant and that the Confederate forces were in retreat toward the South.
These two disastrous engagements for the Confederacy brought the following editorial in the Advocate:
"The Day Dawns.—In quick succession upon the news of the glorious victory of the Union army over the thieving rebel hounds and marauders at Gettysburg and vicinity comes the no less welcome and glorious news of the surrender of Vicksburg on Staurday last, the 4th of July. If ever the truly loyal people of this country have had cause to be proud and thankful for anything accomplished in the way of putting down the rebellion, it is at this moment. If the rebellion has not now received its quietus, it has at least become so much crip-
pled as to be no longer considered worthy of much attention. The war may be continued yet for some length of time, but if anything very formidable is shown hereafter on the part of the Southern Confederacy, we are much mistaken. To those Who have remained steadfast and firm in the cause of the Union through good and through evil report, we offer ten thousand congratulations, that they have been permitted with us to see what we at least believe to be the beginning of the end of the unholy rebellion, and that the time is near at hand when loyal people will rule from Maine to Florida, and when rebels and traitors of every grade and hue will get their deserts."
The pupils of the Towson school gave an exhibition at the Odd Fellows Hall, at which time the teacher, R. C. McGinn, gave premiums for excellence in the work of the year. Among those honored was Robert Pilson for improvements in arithmetic. Mr. Pilson is still with us and is still good at figures.
The issue of the Advocate of July 17, 1963, is full of war news. The following is an editorial on the surrender of Vicksburg:
"We have full confirmations of the news of the surrender of Vicksburg.—We have taken over 27,000 prisoners, beside about 4,000 non-combatants, 102 field pieces, 30 Siege guns, 50,000 stand of arms, ammunition, locomotives,

cars, a few stores, and 57 stand of colors.—Among the prisoners are Lieut.-General Pemberton, Major-Gens. S. Stevenson, Smith, Forney and Bowen; 14 Brigadier Generals and about 130 Colonels. There are 5,600 men in the hospital, half of whom are wounded. Only 150 of the garrison are reported fit for duty. The stock of provisions was almost exhausted, and for four days numbers had been eating mule flesh. Off ammunition for heavy guns they had a fair supply but of field guns and musketry they were short. They had an excess of sugar, molasses and rice, and these were all the supplies they had, except a little unground corn. Many of the prisoners are understood to be desirous to take the oath of allegiance, and to come North. The latest reports from Joe Johnston are that he is rapidly retreating, and that Gen. Sherman is in hot pursuit. An offer of assistance has been sent by Gen. Grant to Gen. Banks." ,
The escape of General Lee's army after his defeat at Gettysburg is the subject of consider-
able criticism on the part of the Union newspapers and Northerners generally. They thought Gen. Meade should have followed and destroyed it, but General Meade was a real soldier, and in no sense a butcher. The following editorial shows the attitude of the Union press:
"Lee's Escape.—We do not know, nor do we care, what may generally be thought here of General Meade's conduct in permitting Lee's army to escape across the Potomac. We do know, however, that after all thi blustering, blowing, fussing and lying by soldiers, newspaper correspondents and persons who appeared perfectly acquainted with the position of affairs, that hundreds of thousands of loyal people are not only disappointed, but feel humiliated that an army of 50,000 defeated and demoralized troops should be permitted to escape from a victorious army

"Old Town" Wins All The Trophies
"OLD TOWN" IS BIG IN EVERYTHING
TN a popularity contest in one *• of our wide-awake evening papers, which ' closed recently, the winner among the Firemen was Mr. Michael O'Dea, of No. 6 Engine House, just across from the good Clothing House of "Moses Kahn of Old Town."
It is not surprising that anyone that is close to "Mose" would be a winner, for "Mose" has been No. 6 Engine House's good company for going on 35 years and they've been the best of friends.
It was "Mose's" pep that put "ginger" into this neighborhood of "Old Town" and the "boys" of No. 6 Engine House were the first to catch it and for the last 20 years, when the gong for a general alarm was sounded, No. 6 was first t. get there and always brought home the trophies.
"Mose" takes off his hat to Mr. Michael O'Dea.
It May Sound lake ^Babbitt" Or Small Village Stuff But If You Play Your Old Ancestors Across The Palls A Suare Game, You can't Beat Them At Anything. And "Mose" Says You Can Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It.
'MOSES KAHN OP OL.D TOWN'
"OLD TOWN" GROWS BIG PEOPLE.
YES, Michael O'Dea ("Mose" calls him Mike, and in this ward it must be Irish) brought home the trophies that the newspapers awarded him, and all of his friends are congratulating him.
Considering that "Mike" didn't enter the contest until a couple of weeks after the leader had 85,000 it was a wonderful handicap to overcome, but "Mike" did it and he won; just like any good, deserving fellow—just like "Mose" wins, by giving good service and making friends, for that makes you popular.
"Mike" buys his clothes from "Mose," as all the other boys in No. 0 Engine House do and so do all the other Firemen in Baltimore—and so does everyone who wishes to dress well at small cost and he a winner.
