Mr. Meek arrived home again late on
Thursday, T;ine the worse foi his little

some of his abolition friends, who had
given it as their opinion t';:at he was at

hear of his death by hanging, or :-'une
other such dire intelligence.
This makes the fifth time that the. ed

In consequence of' :‘lr. Meek's absence
the matter in this paper has been pie
' pared by a friend.. deficiencies,
~ should be observed, this will be a suffi
cient excuse,
General Lee and the Baltimoreans.
We see it stated that over forty thou
sand dollars have been raised in Balti
more for the relief of General Leo and
family, who, it seems, ,have been re
am:yid, by the confiscation of their prob
efts! in Virginia by the Government, to,
a condition of absolute necessity. It
VW thought that these subscriptions
would amount to one infrared thousand
&Mara before they closed, in Baltimore
alone. This shows the estimation in
which General Lee is hell, as a man, by
everybody. an I will, no douh r he most
gratifying to the general himself. Of
emirsi,ahoTition4intrnals will denounCe
this generous proceeding, and 'ileac it as
another evidence of the sympathy of
"rpperheaflism" with "rebellion" and
" - rebellious chioftains." We look upon
it, hnwever, only Its the sympathy 0f.1.4-•
warm hearted people for a brave, genar
t,„ mw, and humane, btit unfortunate man.
j In the course which General Lee took in
the war. ite acted upon his honest coo
-1 victions of right and wrong. He has
been a noble enemy, and a foeman wor
thy of the steel of the most honorable
y r of our commanders. lie has been a hu.-

Democratic evidence must be impeached and

We knew, however, that. they will not. They
