Terrorism in the South.
When the turbid wave of Secession dashed
over Maryland a few weeks since, it seemed
as ifevery vestige of nationality and patriotism
bad been swept away, and we of Pennsylvania
began to examine our flints and flrelocks in
the expectation of meeting an invading army
in Delaware or Chester. If any ono had pre
dicted on that dark and fatal April day, when
our fellow•citizens were murdered by an un
controllable mob, that before another moon
had set, the flag which was then dishonored
would be elevated—that the cockade of trea
son would be banisbed—and an army of the
Republic would pace the streets of Maryland's
metropolis unmolested, and all this without
taking a single life or shedding a drop of
blood, he would have been regarded as an
enthusiast or a dreamer. A month has not
transpired, and yet we see every condition re
alized, and feel that Maryland is as honestly
and surely in the Union as Pennsylvania or
New Jersey.
The agencies used for the purpose of se
curing the secession of Maryland were the
same which the conspirators successfully
adopted in the extreme Southern States, and
if Maryland had been on the other side of the
Potomac, or under the rule of such men as
LETOREE, MASON, and BUNTER. we would Cer
tainly see a Confederate army on Federal Bill,
and meet the pickets of General RESIMEGARD
along Mason and Dixon's line. There is a
very strong Southern sentiment among her
people, her interests are largely identified with
the system of slave labor, and there are men
among those high in authority who were in
constant conference with the conspirators, and
anxious to carry out their schemes. They
gained a temporary success, and to all ap
pearances, and for all practical purposes, it was
as effectual as that gained in Georgia or
Florida.
In Maryland patriotism was crushed out by
terror. Thereis no agency more potent than
that which appeals to the imagination. It is
natural for TER to go with the multitude, and
the multitude instinctively seeks the safest
path. So long as peace reigned the people of
Maryland were content to cling to their al
legiance, bat when a comparatively small
band of ruffians precipitated murder amongst
them, and threatened the lives of all who re
fused to bow down to the idol of treason,
there were thousands who either accepted the
humiliating alternative or fled for safety into
more loyal States. Hundreds placed the Se
cession cockade on the breast, because a re
fusal might have brought the knife to the
heart, or the pistol to the head. The reign of
terror was complete, and its sceptre was ac
knowledged by all classes, from the Governor
down to the town constable. The newspaper
press actually surtendered, and either obeyed
its commands or adopted a system of silence.
Maryland is not the only place in the world
where terror may rule. Unless the strong
hand of law and order is applied, it is as apt
to visit one section as another. ranics are
easily created. A dozen men might go into
Chestnut street at noon-day and terrify one
half of the people with a story about an in
vading army investing Fort Delaware, or Fort
Mifflin, and it the aftair was ingeniously
managed we would have hundreds ender arms
before evening, and OR the way to resist the
invader. We might publish in this morning's
Journal a statement that a detachment of trai
tors had undermined Independence Rail, with•
the intention of blowing it up, and it would
take a very large police force to keep the
crowd which would certainly collect to appre
hend the miscreants, or muse over the
emoulderiug walls of our temple of freedom.
The people of one-half of the Southern States
have been driven into revolution by stories as
absurd as these which we have used in illus
tration. There are thousands of people to-day
in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi who
toys the Union as fervently as they did
six months ago, and yet these people tram
ple our flag because _they think it is the em
blem of their out:legation, and retire every
night with the fearful anticipation of having
to encounter, at an early hour in the morning,
Mr- luecomi and Mr SEWARD at the head of
an army of negro desperadoes and thieves.
Here is an illustration in point : A Rich
mond newspaper—and for scurrility, bad
English, and falsehood commend tis to the
newspapers of Richmond—publishes a para.
graph purporting to come from di The Demo.
ere, of West Chester, Pennsylvania," to the
efrtct that military companies were being
formed in that town, to invade the South, and
that heir bannera were to be inscribed with the
watchword, u. Booty and Beauty." Then
we have an impassioned appeal to the men of
the Senth to fly to arma, march on Washing
ton, and disperse the Administration which
raises its armies by such a si hellish sug
gestion!" Tnere is no such newspaper
printed in West Chester as cc The Democrat."
We have traced this paragraph in nearly all
the newspapers from Virginia to Texas, and it
is but a specimen of ttteistories which are In
vented to madden and mislead the: people of
the bean.
p The remedy which has been applied to
Maryland, and with so much success,, UAW
be applied to the other States who have been
terrified into acts of treason. The leaders
Must be overpowered, as they have been in
Maryland. Terror must be banished, as it
has been from Maryland. The people must
be assured of safety. Their fears must be
appeased, their industry protected, and com-
merce permitted to seek its natural channels.
If we bad permitted the mob to 'control that
State, we do not think there would now be a
thousand outspoken Union men from Snow
Bill to Cumberland. We believe if General
Busts or General CADWALADER entered
New Orleans to-morrow, planted a battery
on the levee, encamped five thousand troops
on Canal street, and issued a proclamation.
similar to that published in Baltlinore last
Monday, the American flag would float from
every flagstaff before night, and the Picayune
would give . us a leader next morning on the
advantages of the Union, and the necessity
for dealing with secession as with treason.
We believe that there is a great Union feel
ing latent in all of these States. Notwith
standing the precautions used to smother and
conceal it, tokens of its existence are brought
to na on almost every breeze that comes from
the Gulf. It is bubbling up in 'Kentucky,
Tennessee, and Virginia; it has flooded out
treason in Maryland and Missouri, and when
the armies of the Republic are in Frankfort,
Memphis, and Richmond, as they are in
Baltimore and St. Louis, we will see the same
glorious results which they have achieved.
Thus far our triumph has been almost blood
leas, and we pray that it may be so to the end.

definite meaning. We suspect that be desired
to deziare that the Secession States, though
not to be acknowledged as independent, have
a right to issue letters of marque against the
ships and other property of Northern citizens
found anywhere, at sea or in harbor. That is,
as European countries at peace with England
did acknowledge the right of the revolted
Thirteen Provinces, from 1776 to 1783, during
the War of Independence, to issue letters of
marque against British vessels. The difference
between a pirate and a privateer is great. In
Bouvier's Law Dictionary it is stated, as the
acknowledged law of nations, that Piracy is a
robbery or forcible depredation on the high
seas, done ultimo farandf, (with a desire of
theft,) in the spirit and intention of universal
hostility. The same authority declares that a
Privateer is a vessel owned by one, or by a
society - of private individuals, armed and
equipped at his or their expense, for the pur
pose of carrying on a maritime war, by the au
thority of one of Ike belligerent parties.
Therefore, when Lord Joan Russitzt offi
cially declared that, c 4 as regards letters of
marque, the Southern Confederacy must be
considered belligerent," he makes England
admit, most emphatically, the right of the
Seceding States to employ privateers, by is
suing letters of marque. Without such ad
mission of right, every ship waging war on the
high NU trould be a pirate, to the eye of the
law of nations.

A telegraphic despatch from Harrisburg ap
peared in yesterday's papers to the effect that
cc Colonel ANDERSON stated to Governor CUR
TIN that ex-Tice President BRECRINRIDOE
would join him (ANDERSON) at Cincinnati, and
take command under him." This announce
ment, considering the course of the ex-" Vice
President, doubtless surprised every person
who read it; and although vouched for, ac
cording to the despatch, by a member of the
Legislature, we supposed that, like many other
things that come over the wires, it was a mis
take. Colonel .ANDEnsoN did say, in the pre
sence of Governor Cuaruc: " Since leaving
Phziadetphis, I have been informed that er,
Vice President Basearsatuos will join me at
Cincinnati, &c." This information, it seems,
was given by a person who, five or six weeks
ago, heard the ex-Vice President deliver what
he considered a Union speech, and, therefore,
he would fight for the Union under Colonel
ANDERSON.
While we should rejoice to see Major BRECE
INRIDOE, like his distinguished uncle, Dr.
BREORINRIDOE, for the Union, and opposed
to the heresy of Secession, we need something
more than the account sent over the wires
from Harrisburg to convince us that he would
take command under the gallant Colonel AN

notion, aad to maintain the Constitution and the
laws, has created a good deal of surprise in this
quarter. Why it should have produced in Harris
burg, in the language of the despatch, " a gratify

Mr. Bromide:Mg° was not only the candidate of
the Secemioniate for Preeident, but, eine° the luau
guration of Mr. Lincoln, has diegratted himself by
contributing to indite those passions and excite
ments which have driven the country to the prod
pica of civil war. His immediate bottom friend,
Gov. Magoffin, acting unquestionably under his
counsel, has been so succeasfol in his treach
erous complicity with the Diannionists in
Kentucky : ae to induce the general appre
hension that that noble State will be forced into
companionehip with South Carolina, Mississippi,
and other conspiring States. The fact that Mr.
Brookinridge hag been, and probably is, In daily
tionfidentlal intercourse with the avowed chiefs of
the conspiracy, is not denied. His oonfidants and
intimates in Waahington have always been among
those who sympathized with and assisted the Se
cession morement, and until this extraordinary
announcement of Colonel Andereon, no man hero,
and I venture to say few men in Kentucky, ever
doubted that the first opportunity presented for
him to declare hie gamut and active oympathy
with the Disanion movement would be eagerly em
braced by Mr. Breckinrldge. With these hate
before us, I am constrained to regard such en ac
cession as an inconceivable calamity. Either Mr.
Breckinridge and those who agree with him have
been acting faleely, or they have not. If they
have been sincere in their persevering and unre
lenting opposition to the constitutionally , elected
authorities, and in their equaliy persistent and
uncompromising adherence to the Disunion con
spiracy, all the oaths of allegiance they may
take to the existing Government will not prevent
them from beooming instruments of disaffection
among the 'Union men, and from taking advantage
of any possible weakness of oar glorious oause.
If they have not been sincere in their long com
panionship with Rhett, Cobb, and Slidell—if, in
other words, they have been cheating the Die•
unionists, how much confidence can we plebe In
their pretended avowal of eleventh-hour regard

C. Breckinridge enlisting in the army of Union
men, and denounce the complacency of his oonder
scansion when he proposes to take a command un

that Colonel Anderson was deceived ? Did he not

Very men with whom Breckinridge has been associ

and personal fortunes? The object of this movement

T 6■ MIME LIMO. or NOV YORK
Among the many evidences of the feeling of fo
reign nations in reforsnee to the present war, none
give such ample proof of the endorsement of our
Federal Government's :lotions as the enthusiastic
manner in which the sons of Great Britain have
tendered their services. home of the tffleers eta-
Honed in Canada, and holding high military posi
tions, have obtained leave of absence that they
might join in our just cause. Their noble example
has aroused similar feelings in the breast of every
man bailing from Great Britain. A company is
now being raised in this oily, under a oommisaion
ed officer, to join the British Legion of New York,
and aside from calling upon men to join it. we
cannot refrain from an expression of our admira
tion at the sacrifices made by the different cffimrs
in command. Many of them wealthy gentlemen,
and bolding high military postilions, immolate
everything, and only march forward in the
hopes of serving this Gtovermuent in the sub
jugation of our Southern enemies. Who does
not admire them for it? Who is there that does
not honor them? With such just and snob. noble
feeling as must be predominant in their breasts, we
can refuse them nothing, nor praise them too
much. Mr. T. Edward Rawlings has been own.
inissioned as drat lientenant to raise a company
here for the British Legion. Lieutenant Rawlings
was among those driven hum Baltimore some
three weeks since. He has been here recruiting
for several Now York regiments, and been offered
several excellent staff appointments. All of these
he has declined, although his rank and title would
have been higher and his pay bettor, and being
an Iteglishman by birth, accepted the commission
of firer, lieutenant of the Philadelphia volunteers to
the British Legion. With such eaorifiors as he
has made, we doubt nut he will do his duty. The
sympathy of Pennsylvania, and its hopes of emcees
for the British Legion, will go with this noble corps.
TRAK% RROIMENTB FROM ruirairtsimm.
We learn, from a friend just a rived.from Bar.
risburg, that Governor Curtin hes, under the loan
and military bill, accepted three regiments from
Phlia - ,:elphia. The three aceepted are Colonels
Mann's, Small's, end Einstein's. They will ho
mustered into the service and equipped without
delay. Yesterday, a committee from Col. Smal.'s
regiment, °misting of Capt. Rittman and Lieut.
Grath, proceeded to Reading and secured the ser
vices of a floe band of music for the regiment.
