THE WORTHIES OF TALBOT
has achieved such wonderful results in our own country, is that of ASSOCIATED ENTERPRISE; and yet how little has been done by the farmer to avail himself of its benefits. How few of those who see the fruits of their honest labors wrenched from their grasp by the iron clutch of the remorseless speculator, or rendered valueless by the over-production of some of their most important staples, ever reflect that there are now in existence in the United States nearly eight hundred agricultural societies; and that by the contribution of a single dollar from each one of their members, a fund might be raised sufficient to secure on a permanent foundation the organiza- tion which the United States Society have already successfully estab- lished. One of the most important features of this organization, is the Monthly Bulletin, which has been issued since the month of Feb- ruary last, from the office of the Society in the city of Washington; and which, together with the annual volume of transactions, is fur- nished gratuitously to those who become life members by the trifling contribution of ten dollars to its treasury.
Unpretending in its appearance, and avoiding all intrusion upon the legitimate sphere of the various agricultural journals which are laboring so successfully in different parts of our country, the Monthly Bulletin presents a claim upon the confidence of the farmer, which no one of these journals possesses in the same degree. It has no other possible interest to subserve than that of the farmer, whose journal it is-not even that of its editor, who is the permanent Secretary of the Society. It relies solely upon the gratuitous contributions of the farmer for its support, and were those contributions ever so generous, they would be devoted entirely to the benefit of the whole farming interest of the country.
How easy then would it be for the farmers of the nation to estab- lish an almost telegraphic intercourse between every section of our extensive country, by a simple system of monthly reports from all the agricultural societies, and prominent farmers, to the Secretary of the United States Society at Washington. The information thus obtained from each, would be combined and transmitted to all. The opportunity for speculation would be greatly diminished. Hum- bugs that are often so rife throughout the country, and of which the farmer appears to be the favored victim, would be fearlessly exposed, and in a short time a fund of statistics would be obtained, from the collation of which important results might be adduced.
The benefits derived from such a commencement, would increase the desire for their extension; until at no distant day the Society might hope to attain, by endowments and other contributions, the means of establishing a Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, in whose columns those most deeply versed in the arcana of nature might dis- cuss the abstruse principles upon which the most important results are often found to depend, and yet which do not possess a sufficient attraction for the superficial reader, to obtain for such a journal a support sufficient to secure its existence by subscription alone.
631
GENERAL TENCH TILGHMAN
It is not a little surprising, that the portion of our country in which the agricultural interest is most important, should have been the last to lend its co-operation towards the advancement of this Society.
We are now assembled, for the first time, upon Southern soil, and I hail it as a good omen that the Old Dominion, the mother of States, and whose fair daughters have been the nursing mothers of Presidents, should have been the first to welcome the United States Agricultural Society to her territory and her Capital. The atmosphere by which we are now surrounded is redolent with the memories of those illus- trious statesmen and great farmers, who constituted the Cincinnati of our youthful republic; and it is impossible to look upon yonder noble river, whose banks are now teeming with the fruits of commerce and agriculture, without remembering that here lived the graceful Pocahontas, and here too were the cornfields of Powhatan and Ope- chancanough, which preserved the lives of our famishing progenitors in the infant colony of Jamestown.
The route by which many of us reached this hospitable city, con- ducts the traveler to that shrine which has become the Mecca of the patriots of all lands. As I passed, in the solemn stillness of the night, the spot where rest the ashes of the Father of his Country, I felt an influence pervading the scene, as if his spirit was still lingering in the quiet shades of Mount Vernon, and as if the vocations which absorbed so much of his thoughts and attention whilst on earth were still re- garded as not unworthy of his remembrance. "Go, tell your breth- ren," (he seemed to say,) "that they are engaged in a noble and a holy cause; tell them to persevere in an effort which only requires per- severance to achieve success, and which, if successful, must have a powerful influence in cementing those institutions to whose foundations my life was so largely devoted."
Gentlemen, this is the spirit which should actuate every Ameri- can farmer and every patriot in the land, whatever be his calling or profession. Let me urge you, then, to come up to the good work without delay. Let it be one of the proudest boasts of every American citizen that he is also a member of the National Agricultural Society.
Gentlemen, it only remains for me to announce to you that the Sixth National Exhibition of Agriculture has been now formally opened.
General Tilghman was the projector and president of Talbot's first railroad, to which he gave the name of Maryland and Delaware R. R., but, after its absorption by the Penna. R. R., the name was changed to that of the Delaware and Chesapeake Railway. It has contributed more than any other enterprise to the prosperity of Talbot County. Work began on the bed of this road at Easton, in December, 1856, but it was interrupted by the Civil War, and the road was not completed to Easton until about December 1, 1869, and to the terminus at Oxford until 1871.

THE WORTHIES OF TALBOT
The following account of the beginning of work on the bed of this railroad at Easton, is copied from the Easton Star of December 3, 1856.
The first breaking of the ground in Talbot County on the Maryland and Delaware Railroad was celebrated on Monday by the officers and stockholders of the company and our citizens generally in an imposing manner, which shows the lively interest all our citizens take in this grand enterprise. At half-past 11 o'clock a. m. the procession formed in front of the railroad office in Easton in the following order, and after marching through the several streets of the town proceeded to Mrs. Robinson's meadow, about a quarter of a mile from town, where the first ground was broken.
ORDER OF PROCESSION. Engineers, with Instruments, President and Treasurer, Directors, Stockholders, Contractors, Bosses, Laborers, carrying Tools, Band of Music, Reverend Clergy, Masonic Lodges, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Teachers and Pupils, Guests and Strangers, Citizens.
The procession was under the command of Col. Richard Thomas, Mar- shal, assisted by the following aids: Drs. Thos. B. Chase, Henry T. Goldsborough, Messrs. Thomas K. Robson and Wm. Hardcastle. The Greensborough Brass Band was in attendance to enliven the day by its sweet sounds. When the procession arrived at the meadow, the fol- lowing impressive ceremonies transpired :
Prayer by Rev. B. F. Brown.
Laying of the corner-stone by Miller Lodge, No. 18, I. O. O. F.
An eloquent and appropriate address by General Tench Tilghman, the president of the company.
Breaking of the ground by the officers, engineers and contractors. The honor of throwing the first shoveful of earth was awarded to Dr. Samuel Harper, who was present and participated in the commence- ment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad July 4, 1828.
A salute of 13 guns was fired by Captains Thomas Parrott and James Hopkins in honor of the 13 counties of the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, and Delaware.
At the close of the ceremonies the procession re-formed, marched to town and was dismissed in front of the court-house at 1.30 p. m. No

accident occurred, and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all present.
Ground had been broken for the beginning of work on this railroad at Greensborough in Caroline County on the 27th of December, 1855, and trains ran between that point and Clayton, Delaware, for about a year before the road was opened to Easton. In the next year it was completed to Oxford. The following gentlemen constituted the first Board of Directors.
Gen. Tench Tilghman, Talbot Co., Prest.
Wm. B. Clark, Talbot Co.
Henry J. Strandberg, Talbot Co.
Isaac C. W. Powell, Talbot Co.

' General Tilghman was an ardent friend of education. It was through his personal efforts that the Maryland Military Academy was established at Oxford, Md., in 1849. It was the first military school founded in the State of Maryland. Professor John H. Allen, of Ohio, a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, where he was a classmate of General Tilghman, was superintendent of it. The sons of the leading citizens of Maryland and Delaware of that day were educated at this school. It had a brief existence however; after flourishing for about six years, the principal academic building was accidentally destroyed by fire, and this fine institution, which had infused new life into the quiet town of Oxford, and had such a bright future before it, was never revived. As an adjunct to this Military Academy, General Tilghman began the erection of a handsome stone Episcopal Church in Oxford. It was about half completed when the Academy was closed.
From the date of the laying of the corner-stone of this church nearly forty years elapsed before its final completion. It was in response to the following eloquent appeal made by the rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Oxford, and a committee of representative citizens that the family and friends of its then deceased founder were inspired to contribute funds sufficient for the completion of this church. The appeal read as follows:
634
THE WORTHIES OF TALBOT
There stands, in the suburbs of Oxford, a town once the rival of Annapo- lis for the honor of being Maryland's capital city, a picturesque ruin.
This picturesque "ruin," as the tourist is accustomed to call it, is in reality the masonry of what was to have been a beautiful stone church, planned by the famous Upjohn.
It was projected by General Tilghman in the palmy antebellum days when the old Maryland Military Academy was one of the great military schools; but reverses brought the work to a stup and the walls have remained there unfinished all these years.
It is now determined to attempt the completion of this work on these walls, overgrown with ivy, by which nature has attempted to conceal the unfinished work of man. Its ivy-wreathed gables remind one of an old English Abbey.
In this work it has been thought well to make an appeal to the former friends and associates of General Tilghman, who we feel will be interested, to assist us in completing this old church as a testimonial to the noble and unselfish life and to the self-sacrificing and philanthropic labors of our common friend.

REV. H. CLINTON COLLINS, Rector.
Through the untiring efforts of the Rev. Mr. Collins this handsome gothic church was finally completed in May, 1903. At the first serv- ice held therein Oswald Tilghman, Jr., a grandson of General Tench Tilghman was baptized. The handsome oak altar in this church was presented by Miss Ella S. Tilghman, a daughter, who executed the artistic wood carving thereon with her own hands.
The inheritance of large landed estates and a lot of ignorant slaves, in the border states, especially, by young men of liberal education at least for a generation or more prior to the Civil War, proved, in the majority of instances, a curse rather than a blessing to them. Such was the case with the subject of this memoir, for gentleman farming in slavery times was never a profitable pursuit in Maryland. He had been raised in the lap of luxury by an over-indulgent grandmother, the widow of Col. Tench Tilghman, who survived her husband for fifty-seven years, and who prevailed upon her grandson to resign his commission in the army to take charge of her large estates of lands and negroes. He had inherited, from his illustrious grandfather, a strong inclination for a military life, which, after his resignation from the reg- ular army, he evinced by taking a prominent part in mustering and drilling the militia organizations in his own and the adjoining coun- ties. His interest and activity in military affairs soon won for him a

commission as Major General of the 2nd Division of Maryland Militia. During the Mexican War, in 1847-1848, he had frequent musters and reviews of the militia of Talbot, Caroline and Queen Anne's counties on a large farm immediately south of Easton, on a part of which farm the present fair grounds are located. He offered his services to his old commander Gen. Winfield Scott, but like thousands of other vol- unteers, his services were not accepted as they were not needed. At the outbreak of our unhappy Civil War, his sympathies, as might have been expected, were with the South. After the mobbing of a Massa- chusetts regiment while passing through the city of Baltimore on the 19th of April, 1861, by the Southern sympathizers of that city, which led to the shooting of several innocent onlookers of this affair, General Tilghman issued the following military orders to the militia troops under his command, which led to his arrest and the revoking of his commission by Governor Hicks.
DIVISION ORDERS.
HEAD QUARTERS 2D. DIVISION, M. M. EASTON, MD., April 22d, 1861.
To the Citizens of the 2d. Division, M. M .:
Our fellow citizens of Baltimore have been slaughtered on our own soil by the soldiers of the U. S. Government which claims our support whilst it wages war upon our institutions,-our State has been made a separate military Department-our forts have been garrisoned and our State overrun by Northern troops in open defiance of the wishes of our citizens and of appeals from our constituted authorities.
I call you as your commander, to rally to the defence of your prop- erty and your homes-to enroll yourselves immediately into com- panies of two classes-the one to defend their homes,-the other for service in any part of the State. I hereby command all the officers of the Division to use their utmost efforts to effect these objects and to hold themselves in constant readiness to sustain the civil authorities and to protect its defenceless inhabitants.
On the first of each month the Captains of Companies will make a full report to their respective Colonels and Brigadiers, and also to the Maj. General. On the 10th of each month the Colonels will report to the Brigadiers and Maj. Gen .; and on the 20th of each month the Brigadiers will report to the Maj. Gen. and Adj. Gen.
TENCH TILGHMAN, Maj. Gen. 2d. Division, M. M.
In politics he was an old-line Whig, but subsequently, upon the de- mise of that party, he allied himself with the Democrats. He never
636
THE WORTHIES OF TALBOT
held an elective office, but for many years he was one of the Board of Commissioners of Public Works of Maryland. He received a consular appointment from President Taylor, but never availed himself of it. From President Buchanan he accepted the Collectorship of the Port of Oxford, which he held until removed by President Lincoln.
As a lineal descendant of Col. Tench Tilghman, of the American Revolution, he was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Society of the Cincinnati, the leading patriotic society in the United States, and at the time of his death, he was president of the Society of the Cin- cinnati of Maryland. He had been appointed the historiographer of this State Society, and was engaged in collecting the materials for its annals, with a view to publication, when his career was so suddenly ended, and his name had to be enrolled with the other honored dead of the Cincinnati.
He was a gentleman of great dignity and urbanity of manners, which, when united with his fine culture, qualified him to adorn the most polished circles of society. He was a ready and fluent speaker, and his literary productions, consisting chiefly of addresses before agricul- tural and other societies, possess unusual merit.
General Tilghman married, firstly, in 1832, Miss Henrietta Maria Kerr, a daughter of Hon. John Leeds Kerr of Easton, U. S. Senator from Maryland. There were ten children of this marriage, four sons, three of whom, Tench F., John Leeds and Oswald were soldiers in the Confederate army, and six daughters. He married, secondly, in 1850, Miss Anna Maria Tilghman, a daughter of his uncle, Robert Lloyd Tilghman, of "Hope," by whom he had no issue. He died in Balti- more city December 23, 1874, in the 65th year of his age.
