Patriotism in Maryland.
A Iriend has handed us the following
patriotic extract of a letter from an emi
nent citizen of Baltimore, preceded by
some comments of his own. We know
that city well, aui have no doubt that when
the proper time comes thousands will be
ready to rush to the rescue of our govern
ment from the hands of the Marats, the
Robespierres, and other hell-hounds who
are, without reason, and without justice,
bringing the horrors of civil war ro our
hitherto peaceful land :
The following extract is from a personal
friend in the city of Baltimore: a city where
there are hearts as true to the Union as the
needle t > the north pole, notwithstanding the
late ascendency of uiubocraey, and reign of
terror, and secession imbriglio. The letter
being private, I must suppress the name of
the writer, than whom there tire n >ne more
coble or brave. In the front view is the flag
of the United States, imprinted in beautiful
and distinct colors of reel, white, and Hue,
with thirty-fwr stars and thirteen stripes,
flaunting proudly in the breeze. After de
scribing the deplorable state of affairs on and
after the 19th ultimo, and the late " partial
return to reason," the writer says:—
" My sentiments have not changed except
in intensity. I cannot see how the honor
of our great country can be vindicated and
maintained without coercing those States that
have rebelled and wickedly persist in their
ruinous course. When 1* think that my
grand-father fought for the glorious liberty in
which 1 stand, and that my father risked his
life in the war of 1812 to preserve that liber
ty to his and all future posterity, every
thing within me erics out in thunder tones.
My Country! My Country! yea My Whole
Country! My life for my Country ! * * *
My mind is oppressed ; 'I cannot" write ; but
my nature's true."
In connection with the above we give
the following extract of a letter dated
WESTMINSTER, May sth, 1801.
Our beloved country is truly "in a deplora
ble condition, all brought on by disappoint
ed office holders—traitors to a!i intents and
purposes, ihe I nion men in Baltimore are
gaining ground rapidly, and in the counties
of Ilaltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Washington,
and Allegheny the t. nion feeding 13 intense.
In Westminster we are strong: two Union
poles are already up with the stars and
stripes floating to the breeze, and another
one will go up in a few days—in fact the Un ■
ton men will resist secession, should such an
ordinance be passed, with their lives and for
tunes. A Convention may be ordered, but
the friends of the I nion I think can elect a
majority of true patriots, as a very great re
action has taken place in the whole State.
Ic \\ estminster I know of more than twenty
who were secessionists a week ago who now
come out for the Union, and we still are i
gaining ground every day. Our true inter
ests will no doubt be to remain in the Union
I am truly gratified with the loyalty of your
State, and trust that the war may be carried
into the enemy's camp. They should be pun
ished, yea subjugated. I did not favor Mr.
Lincoln's election, but as he was fairly elect
ed. 1 go for supporting him in the enforce i
mont of the laws.
A Hat tie Field Wanted. —The Gulf
States inaugurated war, nays an exchange,
but they don't want the battles to be
fought on their soil. They have had an
army before Fort Pickens for months, but
they won t make the attack because they
say some of their men will be hurt. They
want to get rid of the fight, and they push
it upon Virginia. Virginia in turn has
become a little squeamish about it, and
she is trying to push it over upon Mary
land. "\\ o don't want this nuisance among
'is, and what is more we won't have it.—
If Virginia don't want it she can push it
back again upon the Gulf States, which
have cowardly eought to make the border
States a shield between tfcora and danger.
&ar-The State Superintendent desires i
us to make it known in this county,
that the Educational Convention which
was to be held at Ilarrisburg, the present
month, is, on account of the war excite
ment, postponed

Affrays at St Louis—the Secessionists
in Trouble
On Friday last Captain Lyon with four
thousand tro >ps surrounded camp Jackson,
s near St. Louis, where a large number of
Missouri secessionists were under arms, af
ter having first sent the following letter to
the commander:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE U. S. T ROOFS, )
St. L'luis, May 10, 1861. )
To Gen. I>. M. Frost.
SIR —Yur command is regarded as evident
ly hostile towards the government of the Uni
ted States, It is for the most part made up
of those secessionists who have openly avow
ed their hostility to the general government,
and have been plotting at the r-eizure of its
property and overthrew of authority. You
are openly in communication with the s > call
ed southern confederacy, which is now at
war with the United States, and you are re
ceiving at your camp from the said confed
eracy and under its fi tg large supplies of the
material of war, most of which is known to
be the property of tbe United States.
These extraordinary preparations plainly
indicate none other than the well known pur
pose of tbe Governor of this State, under
whose orders you are acting, and whose pur
pose, as recently communicated to the Legis
lalure, has just been responded to by that
body in the most unparalleled legislation,
having an indirect view to hostilities to tbe
general government, and a position with its
enemies.
In view of these considerations, and your
failure to disperse in obedience to the proc
lamation of the President and of the eminent
necessity of State policy at:J warfare, and
I of the obligations imposed upon me 1 v in
structions from Washington, it is my duty to
demand, and 1 do demand of you nn imme
diate surrender of your command, with no
other condition than that all persons stirrer*
i dering under this demand shall be humanely
and kindly treated.
Believing myself prepared to enforce this
, demand, one half hour's time before doing so
will be allowed for your compliance therewith.
(Signed) N. I,vox,
Captain Second Infantry,
Commanding the Troops.
This demand was complied with and the
whole body made au unconditional surren
der.
A release on parole was tendered to the
officers and troops, providing they would
take the oath not to take up arms against
the I nited States government, which thev
declined doing, on the ground that it im
plied that they had already taken up arms
against the government, which they dis
claimed.
Just before the troops started for the
city, and while the State troops were drawn
up between two lines'of United States vol
unteers, several " rocks'' were thrown at
the volunteers and a few pistol shots were
fired by excited parties in the surrounding
crowd, which was composed of a large num
ber of citizens, including many women.
One shot took effect in the leg of (.'apt.
Illanlawsky, and as he fell, he gave the
word to fire, which was promptly obeyed,
resulting in the death of upwards of twen
ty persons, including two women and sev
eral children, and badly wounded several
others, ihree soldiers were also wounded.
'ihe Ftale troops with their officers were
marched to the t . S. Arsenal, and held as
prisoners until the officers gave their par
ole and the men taking an oath not to bear
arms against the United States.
On Saturday the city was the scene of
another terrible tragedy. About u o'clock
a large body of Home Guards entered
the city through Fifth street, from the Ar
senal, where they hud been enlisted during
the day, and furnished arms. On reach
ing Walnut street the troops turned west
ward, a large crowd lining the pavement
to witness their progress. At the corner
of Fifth street parties among the spectators
began hoofing and hissing and otherwise
abusing the companies as they passed, and
a boy about fourteen years old discharged
a pistol into their ranks. Part of the rear
company immediately turned and fired
upon the crowd, and the whole column was
instantly in contusion, breaking their ranks
and discharging their muskets in all direc
tions.
An attempt was made on Sunday to tear
up the Northern Central Railroad, 11
miles from Baltimore. Little damage was
done before the deed was discovered. It
will go hard with any miscreant who is
caught at this work.
Governor Jackson of Missouri, like the
Baltimore bridge burners, has earned an
infamy worthy of a traitor, by causing u
bridge to be destroyed on the Pacific Rail
road. A rope and a tree arc the proper
applications for all such scoundrels.
A portion of 'he United States troops
encamped near the Belay for the last week,
on Monday made a sudden and unexpected
move to Baltimore. One thousand of the
force, uuder command of General Butler,
arrived at the Camden station at nightfall,
and immediately took up their line of march
as it was supposed to Fort McHcnry. On
reaching the summit of Federal Hill the
command halted with the apparent purpose
of occupying that point, which is in many
important respects the strongest military
position within the limits of the city. The
occupying of it is supposed to indicate an I
intention to make Locust Point the base of
operations fur moving troops *uid supplies
toward \Y ashiagton. The troops arrived
on the Hill after nightfall, in the midst of
a heavy fall of rain, and were totally un
provided with tents or camp equipage.— j
The other half of the force still remains i
at the camp near the llelay House.
An official statement of the collision at
St. Louis on Friday evening it was
caused by the abusive action of the crowd,'
one of whom it is said fired four shots
from a revolver at the soldiers, it was not
until oae of the volunteers had been killed
that the fire was returned. Gen. Harney's
proclamation had measurably calmed the
excitement in the city. A considerable
amount of arms and ammunition were cap-
tared at Camp Jackson by the United
States troops,
i General Harney has fully approved of
Captain Lyons' proceedings in effecting the
• capture of Camp Jackson and the Missouri
troops stationed there.
L No Secession Ordinance or call for a
State Convention has yet been brought be
fore the Missouri Legislature.
1 The Confederate Congress is expected to
adjourn soon, to meet again in July, at
such place as circumstances may then ren
der necessary.
Information, said to be reliable, received
at Washington, places the whole number
of Confederate troops in Virginia at thirty
thousand, of which one fifth are at liieh-
inond.
The Secretary of the Treasury has issue
a circular specifying the articles contrabat
of war. the shipment of which to the s
ceded States is prohibited.
The Government is reported to have dl
termined upon the immediate constructii
of fifty gun-boats to operate in shallow w
fer.
The Western Virginia Convention a
setnbled at Wheeling on Monday. Twe
ty-five counties were represented. T!
question of a division of the State wasdi
cussed. The national flag was hoisti
. over the Custom House in the midst of
' popular demonstration.
A halfwitted fool named Joseph 11. Spe
cer of Baltimore got himself into a ni<
scrape at the Baltimore Relay House la
week. He, with the determination of rem
ed to Virginia, had a iarge stock of dry gom.
packed up and sent to the Relay llou*
where Mr. S. introduced himself to sever
of the soldiers, and induced tiieni to part all
of n f-cs?itnents wi'h him. In a short tin
he commenced speaking of the mob whir

Pratt street, acknowledged his participate
in the affair, and Li— readiness to dothesam

tain of the guard, on bearing the affair, cau
ed his arrest and confinement in the guar!
house. Soon as the arrest was known anunl
her of citizens of Baltimore who were pred
ent appealed to the officer on duty, vouell
iog for the character of the accused and r<
quested his dischaige. The request was a
terwards made to General Butler, but will!
out success : be ordered him to be taken tj
the camp of Col Jones and to be confine I
there. Nest morning a number of the mo.*!
influential citizens in Baltimore, some <;|
whom are personal fiends of Generai Butlei!
again interceded in his behalf, but could no!
affect their purpose, as it had been determin!
- d in the meantime to detain him in eustodyj
In the afternoon Mr. S. was placed in a ear
and under a strong guard of armed men re
moved to Annapolis, where he has beet
chewing the cud of reflection since.
A despatch from Annapolis states that :
picket guard near that place was fired upon
on IhursJay night. A number of shots were]
exchanged without damage to either part v. '
The Governor of Pennsylvania has refused

On Friday morning a wagon containing a
suspicious looking box and three men were
olwrved going out; n the Frederick road i'r >m ,
Baltimore. ami the I act being cemmuiii.at !
to Gen. Butler at the Relay House, he de ■
spate-lied as ut:ng party in pursuit, who

It was being taken to Harper's I'Vrrv when
captured. '1 tie soldiers brought the gun and
the three met* to the lielav House. The pris

WASHINGTON, May 12.— Messrs. Gallatin &
Son, from the New York Chamber of Com
rnerce, were in consultation with Secretary
Chase on Friday, about the loan, and yester
day the Secretary invited offers for the SO,-
000,000 undisposed of under the act of Feb
ruary, which does not restrict the offers to
par. This call requires only ten days'adver
tisement. It is understood that the" Secreta
ry, though aiith rized to reject offers below
par, and rcsoit to treasury notes, will accept
all offers at or about the current market rate,
and not resort to treasury notes until the ex
piration ot the thirty days' advertisement for
the balance of the loan, say $14,000,000, un
der the act of last dune.
The preparations for the effective blockade
of the Virginia waters having been comple
ted, Capt. Pendergrast has given the preoau
tionary notice of fifteen days for all vessels to
leave the ports of that State, either with or
without cargoes. Several of the foreign min
isters and some of our own countrymen have
asked for an extension of the time, hut this,
in every case, has been refused. The order
will be adhered to impartially.
Certain parties, though representing them
selves to he Union men, hf.ve been denied the
privilege of forwarding locomotives to Ten
nessee, for the reason, among others, that
such necessary railroad machinery might be
used in the transportation of hostile troops.
The Government also takes care that coal,
so desirable for steam purposes, shall not be
transported to the disloyal States.
Information having reached the Navy Pe
partment, late last night, that several small
vessels had been fired at from the Virginia
shore, and an effort made to detain them by
the Alexandria authorities, in order that then
cargoes of fish, instead of being brought to
Washington, might be secured for the Seces
sion troops, the Secretary promptly ordered
the steamer Pawnee to stop the lawless pro
ceedings.
In addition to the national vessels, about
twenty aimed steamers, from New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia, have been or are
being put in readiness for blockading purpo
ses.
Information has been received that the en
listments for the increase of the pe. tonnel of
the navy are so successful that the necessary
number will soon be supplied.
WASHINGTON, May 14.
Advices received to day confirm all I have
heretofore despatched is reference to the over
estimate of forces now concentrated in Virgin
ia. General Scott knows positively that the ag
gregage number of men, armed and unarmed
at various points from Harper's Ferry down
to Lynchburg, does not exceed twenty-five
thousand. This force could not be concen
trated at any one point for an attack 011
Washington, without placing the remainder
of the Old Dominion at the mercy of the
northern troops.
Fortress Monroe has now a garrison of sev
en thousand men, which is more than is need
ed for its defence. Perhaps part of the force
is to land at Norfolk.
Commander Buchanan, lately in command
at the Washington Navy Yard, who resigned
his commission during the week when Wash
ington was cut off from railroad and telegraph
ic communication with the North, and was
presumed to be in danger, ha* asked to be
reinstated, but his request was denied.
Baltimore, May 13.—The train from Phil
adelphia came through this afternoon with
the mails and passengers at 4 o'clock. It was
hailed with evident satisfaction by the people
along the route, and. as it passed through the
city, many expressions of welcome were giv-

Died.
On Tuesday last, in this place, AGNES,
daughter of John Evans, aged about 18 years.
Jons W. CRIMP. departed this life on Sunday morn
ine. the slh instant, in the 27th year of his age; only
son of Mary A. Crid'-r nd Daniel Crider. deceased.
1 has last illness was not marke.i oy severity, yet slow
ly and surely Consumption did us work." An affec
tionate son has thus left a fond widowed mother and
three devoted sisters to mourn his absence, not his
loss, for Christian faith can view it only eisa transfor
mation. 11 is place around the hearthstone is vacant;
Pis voice is silent; his form absent; his emaciated
body sleeps yonder on the river's brink, but et>!l he
Pro, with the great Father of spirits of flesh, beyond
tiie reach of pain, disease, or death. He lives too in
affectii*a shrine. His memory and virtues will be
cherished, till mother and sisters join him in Ins new
and heavenly home: And with a sainted fattier, lie
will hail them welcome and liappy to that blissful
abode.
Furnishing satisfactory evidence of a change of
t heart. 1 proposed and received him into the Methodist
Episcopal Chttreh shortly before ins decease. Ar
rangements had been marie to administer to him the
lioiy communion on Monday; but instead, we were
called on to perform the sad rite of burial. He sleeps
now, but sleeps in Jesus. Weeping friends, •'Ye sor

I -A MeMrmuv. Pastor
Grand Union Meeting at Frederick,
Maryland-
SPEECn OF HON. KEYEBHY JOHNSON. j
Hon. Reverdy Johnson presented a flag
to the Home Guard at Frederick on the 7th,
on behalf of the ladies of that place. There
was an enthusiastic gathering on the occa
sion, and the demonstration for the Union
was a grand one. A hundred and fifty
members of the guard were present. Mr.
Johnson's speech was forcible and effective,
lie said :
In lbe original causes which nave produced
the present emergency Maryland had no
share. Iler people ever were, and are now,
zealous in support of a Constitution and a
Government which they were foremost in form
ing and adopting. No threat of treason has
ever been whispered within her limits, while
the blessings and advantages of the Union
have ever been fully estimated and apprecia
ted. The loss of those advantages would be
utter and irremediable ruin. In this ruin all
the States would more or less share, but our
i geographical position would make it to us im
mediate and total.
A peaceable separation i-, as our wisest
statesmen have predicted, impossible: and
the truth of these predictions is about to be
manifested. Rut for the resistance to its just
ami legal authority, the Government had giv
en no cause, and had the friends of oonstitu
tional lights remained at their posts in Con
press, the power of the g ,vernment to trans
gre.-s its authority could have been effectually
tb.vart !. The Secessionists had desecrated
the r an.-; of Calhoun iu support of their her
ersy : but that great man had pronounced the
doctrine both novel and iu violation of eom
m hi sense.
Ihe leaders of the rebellion were in fact
actuated by an unholy lu>t for official power,
ibis fact is evidenced in the elevation to place
o! all who had desecrated their official posi- j
tiniis by plotting treason. Rut their efforts
t ,! uis.'ioaur a Government, from which many
i t these leaders had borrowed their renown,
would tail. They mi, as well strike at the
heavens with th'.-ir arms as against the Ainer
ican Uni m. Defeat was certain to r beilion.
i.; ■ irce State-, according to the last cen
sus, have o',>iß,ooo males between the ages <>f
I s and 4 i years. The slave States have 1,-
665,040. Ihe seceded Suite®, exebibve of
