The Civilian & Telegraph was a Unionist newspaper published weekly in Cumberland, Maryland, from 1859 to 1905.

The name of the newspaper was chosen to indicate that the paper did not support the candidacy of military man Andrew Jackson in the 1828 presidential election.

By July 1833, the Civilian offices had been rebuilt beneath the Cumberland Bank on Mechanic Street.

Several years later in 1852, H. W. Hoffman purchased a half interest in the paper and became Carey's associate editor.

[1] In 1853, Aza Beall bought both men's share in the paper and became its sole editor and proprietor.
