Tus enemies Of free institutions are every where and always more active than the friends of those institutions. The one class is ener getic and vigilant, because conscious of the dangers that environ it; while the other is in different, because confident of the justice of its cause. Thus, the armed traitors, who seek to overthrow the edifice of freedom in the United States, are busy and alert, as a result of the apprehension that their lives are forfeit, and that they deserve no mercy at the hands of the authority they have defied. They have assumed a new position within the last week, and one which, unless promptly exposed and indignantly put down, will Work mere mischief to the cause of human rights and constitutional liberty than all their warlike demonstratione. They now preach peace. JEFFERSON Davis, according to the report made by the Maryland commissioners appointed by the Legislature of that State to visit Montgomery, Ala., has sent a paper to that body c 6 expressing his gratification to hear that the State of Mauland was enlisted on the side of peace and Teton clliation, and avowing his perfect willingness for a actuation of hostilities, and a readiness to receive any proposilons for peace from the IlnitsciEtates Government, but that the action Of that Power forbids any such hope." In the Legislature, after this communication was presented, a debate took place, in which Mr. Lrecozar and his Administration were charged with all wanner of aggressions upon the Constitution and the laws; accused of tyranny which disgraced:alike humanity, civi lization, and the age ; and arraigned as a despot intent upon the destruction of the South, whose rights he had ignored, and whose territory he bad invaded. Thus, while the proposal for peace comes from the head traitor, who stands appalled before the just punish ment that impends over him, his followers ar reign the Executive of the United States, and charge him with being the author and the de feeder of unparalleled crimes. We need not re cite the thrice-told evidence which bas convict ed illsaraneoar Davis and his associates of all, and more than all, that they falsely attribute to Mr. lasoons. History will judge between the regular Government, on the one hand, and the irregular and robber rebellion on the other. Our object now is simply to forewarn the people of the loyal States against the new phase assumed by the Southern Confederacy. He who talks of compromise or of peace at this hour, save upon the condition precedent of the fullest recognition of the power of the Federal Government, and the most distinct repudiation of the whole theory of Secession, is a traitor at heart. There can be no middle course. Any adjustment leaving these two principles undecided will only be a tempo rary trace—a futile postponement of the dread hoer of settlement, and probably the begin ning of- a series of insurrections such as the civilized world has never seen. False and treachermia as JErFEation Davis has proved himself to be, most overbear ing and audacious as that portion ot `ids proposition is which asks for proffers Of peace from the United States to him self and his banditti, we must remem ber that there are men now in Philadelphia and in New York who will seek every aces don to aid bim, ana every occasion to em barrass the Government. If what these men say in their parlors and dining-rooms could be heard by the people, whom they are now so ambitions once more to lead to their destruc tion, it would surprise and appal our loyal populations. There are many facilities of fered to such mischief.raskers. They can mask their treason behind many disguises. One of their patent projects is to attempt to resurrect busied pasty animosities and preju dices .; to ridicule the military appointments of the Administration; to magnify the errors common to every great martial movement ; to lift up their bands in holy horror whenever a contract is given to the wrong man, and to pray for peace and compromise, while bewailing the dismal spectacle of civil war; and all this time reltudng to denounce the treason of the Sown and its attendant atrocities, save in such gentle and cautious phrase as will give a show of consistency to their asaanits ripen the right aide of the question. Such are the dangers which surroundour country in this hour; such the obligations devolved upon the General Government, and upon all those who believe that the Administration is enlisted in the moat righteous cause which ever aroused a free people to arms. Peace cannot be had in a moment, but it must remit trom a complete sur render te the genius of the Federal Constitu tion, to fall and honest acknowledgment of the power of the Federal Government, and to determination to maintain the laws at every /ward, and to resist the secession of a single State even unto, the death. Upon no other ground can this struggle be ended. The Sentiment of England. We do not abase in the wild shout of execra tion which is being directed against England. To be sure, the tone of many of its leading journaht and statesmen is extremely -unfriend ly, and we have telt grieved at their want of sympathy ; but we do not really see the neces sity for insisting upon an immediate declara tion of war against Great Britain because Rr. UMW' favors the recognition of the Southern Confederacy and the London Times sneers at the North, and contemptuously asserts that the cc Great Republic is no more." It is, after all, with the people of England that we have to deal, and the sentiment of the English peo ple la yet to be ascertained. There are selfish -men in all countries, and we of America are apt to take the declaration of a newspaper or statesman as that of a nation, when it is nothing more than that of a mere interest. Iw any event, we must count upon the opposi tion or unfriendly feeling of many English Interests. The aristocracy will oppose us, because with the Union falls Democracy. The cotton interest will oppose us, because the mine of Lancashire want the cotton of Carolina. The exporting interest will oppoae us, because we have made a tariff to suit our selves, while the South offers them free trade. The privateering interest will oppose na, because we have threatened to resent any interference with our commerce by hanging theist, who may attempt these acts of piracy. But England Is not composed altogether of aristocrats, cotton-spinners, traders, and pri vateersmen. With all ita ffishness, its eccen. Welty, and its dewiness, the great English heart beats with generous impulses towards liberty and constitutional freedom. The peo ple of Sugland cannot forget that their bra. thren are in the battle Yield to.day by thou sands, and the cause which urges them to offer their livee will certainly find a warm sympathy in the hearts of their kinsmen. We have confidence in the English people. In the meantime, let us have no unjust and angry detgarations of animosity, and, above all, no unwise appeals for war. When American honor demands a conflict with England, it:will be time to draw the sword, and not before. ALlasouri There are serious indications of an outbreak in lesseurt, and a portion of her population are probably as rabid Secamionbna as can b e found anywhere in our country. But, for tunately, they are not only surrounded on three sides by loyal Stelae, but many of their own felkm-citizens are warmly devoted to lbs Union. It is not possible for them to eoespbte control of the State, sad if Ayr early their treasonable scheme very Os they wji! be .. wily ;Molted and over /MA Pennsylvania and the Tariff: Mr. MOTLEY, the historian, in his recent letter to the London Temcs, dere6ding the North, takes occasion ttealinde to our a' fool's& tariff " as one of the evils of secession, and expresses the hope that Ceigre&l, at its ap proaching session,- will take mesanreg to modify the objectionable features of the Merrill tariff bill, and deprive it of its pro tective character. The same desire is ex pressed by many leading journals in the North, especially those, like the New York Herald, Times, and k:raning• PO3l, which de pend upon the commercial and importing in terests of the country for their support. Since the passage of the Morrill tariff bill they have been persistent and clamorous in their ex ertions to effect its modification or repeal. Every possible motive for such action was adduced, and the titter and irretrievable rain of our commercial and manufacturing in terests was daily predicted as the result of its operations. The English and French news papers took up the cry, and were unsparing in their denunciations of. America, because aim had not oppressed her own interests and industry to protect theirs. The London Times very recently told us that we bad for feited every claim to the sympathy of England by paining a tariff invidious to her interests, and this unfriendly sentiment is current with the English press. The war excitement absorbed the tariff agi tation ; and now we have the foes of the tariff endeavoring to accomplish herein on patriotic pretexts. We are told that, in order to secure the friendship of France, we should lower the duties on wines, brandies, silks, and laces, and that we might purchase the favor of Eng- , land by destroying our own manufactures, and purchasing in her markets the cloths, carpets, iron, steel, hardware, eco., which we can pro duce in our midst. This reasoning will be brought to bear upon the members of the new Congress, and, by thus appealing to the cupi dity of some, and—shall we say it?—the cow ardice of others, the free-traders hope to ac 'complish their selfish purposes, discourage American industry, and destroy the dearest interests of Pennsylvania. It is manifestly unjust to attempt to pass upon the merits of the Morrill tariff bill atter an experience of three er four months', and that experience in a time of War. It was passed with a view of protecting those in terests of the United States which need pro tection in their infancy, to enable them to compete with the labor and capital of foreign traders and manufacturers. It was not passed to please the merchant-princes of New York and elsewhere, but to encourage the mechanics and workingmen throughout the Union. It VMS not passed for the benefit of France and England, but by an American Congress and for American interests. Whether it pleased France or England was a secondary and un important consideration. When Parliament taxes tobacco it does not inquire whether Virginia will be benefited by it; and it Louis Naeoesozi saw fit to lay a duty on sugar he would care very little how it affected the crop of LOIIiSIEDE or the interests of her planters. No State feels a deeper concern in the ta riff question than Pennsylvania, and yet she has taken no part in this agitation. She has interests at stake which materially affect her prosperity and the happiness of thousands of ber people. She has long prayed to the Ge neral Government for protection, and she has confidence that the Government will not with draw the benefits of the present measure be tore she has felt their influence. Pennsylva nia is not a selfish State. In these periods of national self-denial she is willing to make any eacrifice the country may ask at her hands, even to the extent of her interest in a protec tive tariff. Bat the country does not ask the repeal of , the tariff', and there is no occasion for exacting it ; and as to propitiating England. and France, we believe we speak the senti- ' ment of every honest American heart, when we say that the friendship which can only be purchased by parting with our sell-respect and independence, as things of commerce and bar ter, is not worth possessing. The Morrill tariff bill is a wise measure, and experience under the favorable auspices of peace will abundantly illustrate the wisdom and foresight of its anthers. The expediency of a tariff of protection was in isene in the recent election, and the people emphatically recorded their endorsement of its necessity. We ask for it, in behalf of Pennsylvania, a fair and impartial trial, and we demand most ear neatly that it shall not be repealed merely to secure the uncertain and selfish sympathy of foreign nations, or to contribute to the aggran dizement of a few traders among us, whose numbers represent a mere fraction of our peo ple, and whose interests have nothing in com mon with those which are so closely identified with the material greatness of our country. Eloquent Letter of Mon. Joseph Holt. One of the most impressive and eloquent descriptions of the real causes of the present rebellion and of the dangers • with which it threatens the people of the Border States, in common with all other good American citi - zone, that have yet appeared, is contained in a letter from the Hon. JOSEPII Hold', the dis tinguished Kentuckian who acted as Mr. Be i:mum:es Secretary of War after the with drawal of Gov. Peeve, to d. T. SPEZD, Esq. It is dated Washington, May 31, and fills nearly six columns in the Louisville Democrat. We regret that we cannot spare space for it, as it contains some of the most scathing rebukes of treason that have yet appeared, and if any candid or reflecting men in Kentucky were disposed to waver in their allegiance, such an appeal as this should clearly show them their true duty. Mr. HOLT does not approve the attitude of neutrality which Kentucky has been disposed to assume, and he strongly con deems the proclamation of Governor ILtuor- FIN, which forbade the passage ofFederal troops across the State, and which, fortunately, the Legislature refused to endorse, In this section, where but one opinion in regard to the justice of our cause prevails, the unanswerable argu ments by which the wisdom and necessity of the course which President Lrecorsi adopted are defended by Mr. HOLT, are not at all es sential to the vindication of the President; but the following extracts will still be interest lug, because they show how a patriotic mem ber of the late Administration regards the coulee of the present one: " While a far more fearful responsibility Ism fallen upon President Linooln than upon any of. his predecessors, it must be admitted that he has met it with promptitude and fearlessness. Mere, in one or his orations against Corinne, speaking of the credit due idroaalf for having suppressed the ocuispiraoy of that arch traitor, said, " if the glory of him who founded Rome was great, how much greater should be that of him who had saved It from overthrow, after it had grown to be the mis tress of the world ?" Bo it may be said. of the glory of that statesmen or chieftain who shall I snatch from the vortex of revolution this Republic, now that it has expanded from ocean to wean, has become the admiration of the world, and has rem dered the fountains of the lives of thirty !Willow of people fonntains of happiness. " The vigorous measures adopted for the safety of Washington and the Qovenunent itself may seem open to criticism, in some of their details, to those who have yet to learn that not only has war like peace its laws, but it has also its privileges and its duties. Whatever of severity, or even of I='AMY, may have arisen, Will find its pita n in the pressure of the terrible necessity ander which the Administration has been called to act. When a man feels the poniard of the de- stroyer at his bosom, lie is is not likely to consult the law books as, to the mode or measure of his rights of self-defence. What is true of individuals is. in this respect, equally true of Governments. The man who thinks he has become disloyal be- cause of what the Administration has done, will probably discover, after a close selfaxamination, that he was disloyal before. But for what has been done, Washinron might ere this have been a amonidering heap or ruins The Fourth of July. In deference to the strong patriotic feeling which has been evoked by our national perils, it is proposed to celebrate the coming Fourth of July with more than usual eclat in this city, aue. to induce the City Couneile to males a considerable appropriation to defray the an ticipated expenses of the demonstration. But it is well worthy of consideration-whether any unusual expenditure would not be in-timed now. A heavy debt presses upon our City Treasury, while many new demands will con stantly arise from the exigencies of the war, and humanity, as well as patriotism, dictates that every dollar that can be spared should be expended in providing for the pressing neces sities of the families of our absent volunteers. While so many, of our gallant citizens are braving death in defence of their country, should we prepare for grand and expensive civil demonstrations which heretofore in peaceful times we have (with perhaps ques tionable propriety) avoided 7 The Slooliwor.War Jamestown.

There la no art mere attrac tive to Inventors and scientific me=t than the art of war. Hew to kill the largest number of people in the Milled space of One is a pro blem which is agitating Many an inventive mind in this and other countries.'' Terrible as the contemplation of such a thing may be, we certainly Minh that the greater 'advancement we make in the art of war the better it will be for humanity and peace. The instruments of death in the hands of modern soldiers are far more terrific and powerful than those which were employed in the wars of Horisman, GEMS, and the Crusaders, and yet our battles are neither as protracted nor as bloody as were those of the ancient days. Since the time of the elder NArOLECIT, we have made marvel lous progress in military science, and an army equipped with even the care bestowed on his Imperial Guards, would be in an extremely unserviceable condition when compared with the armies now sent forth to battle. But the science of war does not confine itself to securing the accuracy of a rifle or musket, enlarging the calibre of a cannon, in creasing the destructive power of shells, or improvieg the quality el powder. As science advances we find that the success of an army depends less upon the mere daring and skill of its men than upon the ingenuity and genius of its commanders. A line strategical plan of operations, arranged in the tent, with a com pass and a map, will do more to accomplish the success of a general than the desperate bravery of his legions. The present contest has been one . of strategy, and we have already achieved many victories without risking a single battle or losing more than a hundred lives on both sides. For the sake of hums& nity, we could wish that it might continue so to ' the and ; but that, wo rear, is an itepossi busty. The art of photography will be invaluable in time of war. We cannot conceive the va riety of uses to which this marvellous inven tion may be devoted. It will serve the recon noitring officer, the spy, the historian of the campaign, and the artist, who may seek to , immortalize its fearful glory. The science of aeriel navigation will also be exceedingly ad vantageous, and we see that one of the roe. Malta. which recently left Waehington for Harper's Ferry, took with it a large ballotm, for the purpose of sailing over the country of the enemy, and discovering the strength of their force and the availability of their posi tion. So long as the difficulty exists relative to steering balloons when in the air, no expe riment of this native can be prosecuted with certainty. A current of air would be as likely to carry the aeronaut into the mountains of Pennsylvania as into the plains of Virginia; and It he should go as far as /Unloose Gap or Richmond, his experiences would be of little use if the breezes of Heaven refused to waft him back again. Electricity , and steam, so mighty in peace, will be as mighty in this time of wax ; and when we remember that an important part of the Massachusetts IV merit's duty, in its march to Washington, was the repair of steam engines and railway tracks, we can see how less poetry, and how much much more common sense, there is in the soldier's life. The Progress of Invention in America. Tee national troubles do not seem to have affected the business of the Patent Office. Nothing could more clearly illustrate the genius and practical character of onr'Northern, people than the fact that a majority of those applying for patents are citizens of the free States. Every department of art and science is represented, and there is no species of manufacture, no mechanical process, not even a household utensil or implement of labor, in which some triumph of the spirit of inventive genius is not recorded. The report of the Commissioner of Patents for the past year chews that we have issued an unrecedentedly large number of patents to those making application. We see it stated in the Tribune that, out of 7,653 applications, 4,819 were granted. This of coarse includes all the applications based on designs, reissues, and additional improve ments. Nor Were the benefits of our. Patent Moe- conlined to American citizens alone, for we see teat - among those applying there were twenty-four from Great Britain, twelve from France, and five from other countries, It is difficult to conceive the rapidity with which the spirit of invention has increased in our country. In 1837, not quite a quarter of a century ago, there were no more -than 455 letters patent issued ; and even as recently as 1854, the annual number issued was only 1,903. Our Patent Moe is a self - snitaining don, the receipts for the pea year having been $256,352.60, and the expenditures $262,- 704 14. There is also in the TreaSury, ac cruing from the receipts of past years, the sum of $89.554.07, and this notwithstanding the fact that there have been expended some $200,000 from the resources of the office in the erection of the buildings, at Washington, in which the plans are kept and the business transacted. Our English friends do not seem to have among them the inventive faculty to a large degree. In the English Patent Office the total number of patents issued between the years 1617 and 1854 was 14,360. Since 1864, how ever, more energy has been manifested, and the average number or yearly grants has been greatly increased. In a single quarter of a century the American Government alone bias granted to inventors over 30,000 letters pa tent. What effect the war will have upon inventions remains to be seen, but no dimi. Win of their zeal has been noticed. Death of the Ron. George M. Kelm. On Monday evening, the Hon. George M. Kelm died at his residence, in Reading, aftor a abort but painful tibias.

The late news that Grafton, in Western Vir ginia, was taken by a Secession army spread terror amongst the Inhabitants of Western Vir ginia, and the citizens of Morgantown, Va., having reason in fear en attack on that place on the night of the 27th of May, mint expresses to Payette and Greene counties and Pittsburg for assistance . Intelligence arrived in Payette and Greene some time before day, which was spread like lightning. Mon were seen on every road on horseback in foil imbed giving the alarm, which was in a few home spread over Payetts and Greene, and the sur. rounding country, and at daylight &multitude was in march for Morgantown. All the next day cow panien were forming and commencing their march in the direction of that place. There has never been such a scene of excitement in this motion of country since its settlement. Men of all ages abandoned their usual putsuits, and in a few minutes wete on their way to some appointed plane of rendezvous ; and never in the annals of history has there been any amount given of a more determined set of people. All the arms in the country were stance gathered up, and the patriotic women hurried off their male friends, saying they would run bulleta and provide ammunition to send after them, and regretted they could not take part in the coining conflict. Alcor all the lire arms were collected, a general gathering of all the pitchfork; corn-cutters, scythes, hatchets, and every species of instruments that could be used in destruction of life were stacked up, reedy for such as could not procure gnu, to be used in aoreert with those who , had file•STlall 'Case of an invasion of the soil of Pennsylvania by the traitor army.

" A Fir Ali Or EMT?' Conn, IA. THE PRESS.-P HIL A DELPMAt THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1861. , The question is sometimes` asked, How will this war end? even_while all are ready to ae knowledge the overwhelming preponderance of the North in -then, money, and every ap pliance necessary to establish great • / iOttery superiority Over our antagonists. We - nave the strength lb practically enforce our armee_ rity over all our dominions, and no one who sees the patrietiam and determination of eur people can doubt their disposition to climb out treason throughout the whole land, until "American soldiers Can tread. in safety every foot of American soil," and our national ben neer waves in triumph over the whole country. It would, of course, be impossible to occupy every isolated district, and we can have 119 disposition to attempt such an unnecessary undertaking. But supposing our pressure ene mies to be animated by the motives which ordinarily influence mankind, the pressure of a well-sustained blockade, by totally destroy.. ing their commerce, and depriving them of many articles of food, apparel, and hou.sehold convenience to which they have long been accustomed, will go far to induce them to ac cede to our terms—which are neither harsh nor cruel. For we only ask them to behave like sensible and loyal citizens, and to be mindful of their obligations to their country and its glorious Constitution. But, even if the blockade should fail to ex ercise a decided - influence, it is evident that the district of country in which the influence of the traitors predominates mini be rapidly diminished by the advance of our immense army. As the matter now stands, in ibur of the fifteen slave States—Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, no decided demon strations of hostility to the Federal Govern ment areopenly made. Virginia is the battle ground, and she is's° closely beleaguered that her Disunionists may well regard with horror the inevitable defeat which awaits them. Already a considerable section of the State has openly proclaimed its loyalty, and, as our massive columns close around Harper's Ferry, Manas sas Gap .Tunetien, the approaches to Norfolk, and oven Richmond itself, the_ contest, how ever sanguinary it may be, must sooner or liter result in their triumph. If, on the soil of Virginia, we vanquish the chosen cham pions and ail the available forces of the traitors, the backbone of the rebellion will be broken, and any other achievements will be comparatively easy. In Bast Tennessee, as in Western Virginia, the people are almost unanimously in favor of the Union, and they will need but little as eistance from us to redeem the State. If the Gulf region is thrown upon its own resources, it cannot long maintain an unequal contest against mi. Its whole white population does not exceed that °fame of the single Suiten of the North, and, with its material interests al. ready terribly crippled—with little money and no credit—all its vital points.would soon be compelled to succumb to attacks from our fleets and armies. WASHINGTON CORMSPONDEIICE Letters trout " Occasional.” [Correspondence of The Frees.) - WABELIBGTON, June 12, 1861. The account of the unfortunate venues between the soldiers of the Republic and the traitor troops at Great Bethel, Virginia, twelve miles from Fort ress Monroe, on Monday morning ) hue produved precisely the effect upon the Bixtersionists, and upon the conditional Union men, here and in Mary land, that I predicted must be produced by any reverse that might , happen to the American arms. I will not conceal my intense mortification at read• ing the details of this affair, and I can well antisi pato how it will be received by tholoyal millions of my countrymen who regard their cause as so entirely right. The doctrines involved are so in estimably jest, and the mule of our enemies so in famous, that they cannot conceive bow it is pos eible any disaster should happen to the men en gaged in defence of the one and In opposition to the other. - I leave to military critics to decide where the fault lies in regard •to, this unfortunate expedition. It teaohea a great lesson;hoWever, and Imposes upon the Government certain duties which, l am happy to believe, they have no desire to avoid, and whioh, if they did, they could not avoid. The stake at issue Is so mementoes, that, in order to secure a victory to the Bide of freedom and the law, every preoaution, no matter how vigorous and harsh, must be minted. The greatest ease, in the first place, should I. token in the soloed= of the -drums of our regiments' and brigades. Not gab , Ale and -effective ,soldiers should be - seoured—tnert woettatoned to arms t itud ready to endure all the fatigues aud i priratione of war—but men who behove in tWeasues.an whieh the" are fighting; men ready') r obe, the order of iheir - superzors, and so devorlld to the ; great interests involved as to te blind and deaf to at/ the blandishments of our enemies. It must be recollected that ethos a general officer is filled with a truly patriotic spirit in thin war, he may be capable, in a moment of disaster, of working local onlable Wary to the country. He may make a treaty with the combined enemy, selling out his country, compromising his Government end dia graeing himself and those whom he lead s. I refer te no individual oaspe. My object it simply to ad monish the Government against confiding in any man in this oriole whom it does not know to be en tirely and heartily eomnsitted to the destiny our great army is called upon to work out. I am gratified to be able, in this connection, to assert that the Administration, from the President down, folly realizing the imfuirtanoe of rallying ail the conscientious Union men of the country to its support, will henoeforward take oars to confer no appointment, civil or military, upon any man who is not known, from his antecedents, to be worthy of its sonfidemie and regard. I am re joioed to add that the true men who stood at the aide. of . Btephen A. Douglas in the Presidential campaign, and who beileved In his integrity and the justice of hie antagonism to the 'Southern oli garchy, will be duly considered by the Adminis tration. The next consideration presented to Zdr. Lin. coin and his advisers is to see that no. harm comes to the Republic by allowing traitors to the Go vernment to prepare their schemes in the city of Waahington. I have no doubt that, as I write, there are hundreds of men in this town ready to Hy to arms againstthe flag of the Union the mo ment t h e opportunity is presented to them. We are, in fact, in an enemy's country. Tho disaffec tion of the politicians of Maryland cannot be de nied, fdr it is not concealed by themselves. if you will take up the Baltimore Run of this very morn ing, you will find a newspaper published under the very gong and banners of the Amerieen troopa, almost in the shadow of the Federal Government, filled. with inconceivable malignity against our institutions, and so arranged as to excite the worst possible feeling among the people of Baltimore stud .of Maryland. There is scarcely an extract that has not been made for the purpose of doing injury to the good name of oar country. The edi torial article 'is a jesuitical attempt` to turn this war into an anti slavery war, and to show that the purpose of the North is to obliterate the Institu t-Imm of the South.. Under its legidad To h o w I find a report of a debate printed, in due form, with ail the usual parenthesis of snob Waite, • which took place in the Maryland Ideqgbdature on the 11th of June, in which sateaden is applauded, Mr. Lincoln and his Adminlitration denounced as traitors, Boat Winans and other maloontents voted into God-like superiority, and a general in vocation to war advocated. As evidence of the spirit prevailing in Marylaod, lot me give you tite following extract from the pet:coaling* of their• Legislature on the 11th June . _ _ Mr. MeMalg presented a report from the oom. mink:men appointed :by the lostgilliature 10 visit Montgomery. hooompatiying this was a paper from Jegereon Davis, esprmaing his gratification to hear that the State of Maryland was enlisted on the side of pease and r reaonadiation, and avow ing his perfoot willingness fora osmation of toe unties, arida readiness to rewire any propositions for peace from the United States Government. Bat the aotion of that Power forbids any midi hope. - The object of all this is apparent. It la'to in- crease the bitter feeling ageing our flag in Mary land, and to excite a strong hostility to the Go vernment in the free States. One of the Opole of these Maryland malignant. is to divide the loyal S ta t e s into parties, by showing that this is a poli tical war —a Black Republican war—a war against slavery, and that the men engaged in it will listen to no compromice, battery.° they ere intent upon bloodshed alone. When you remember that this theory is advocated In Washington oily, and has its supportera in every one who bold. that Jet. Davie ieoonetantlly *Caring pesos, 'while ponstautl7 preparing to destroy the Government, you can see the injury it may offset, unless .semi) ; and speedily checked. Strange to say, the trotters in the South rely also upon Clowt tan gentlemen and pious clergymen in the free States to assist them. This clam is to be approaohed by their known opposition to war, and the late meeting of the old Presbyterian Confereucte inyour city proves conclusively, as well as the late address of the Young Men's Christian Association in the New York Observer, which well deserved the con tempt and ridicule it received, that many of them are only too willing to linen to the proffers of the Dbninionlits. Then we have the lireokinridge men in your midst, and the Southerners who still live in Philadelphia, Now York, and Batton, and 14.101410 in sowing the seeds of dleaffeatiOn among your people—not to speak of the miserable politi cians, who think they can embarrass the Govern ment by trying to reorganise the DemooratiO par ty All these element' are to be employed in aid of the Southern traitors and in hostility to the friends of the Union. Tee question recurs, whether Mr Lincoln and his advisers are not right in put• ting down everything like diaaffection in Mary land, in Washington, and In Virginia?

Lieutenant G reble had silenced all their guns except one, a rifted gamma, whialr was fired with great rapidity, and was concentrated entirely on his command. This gun was worked well, but all the MR wets badlY managed, their balls cutting off the tops and limbs of the trees over the heads of the troops. had the battery been well supplied with experienced gunners, no doubt the Lou would have been heavy. Lieutenant Groble spiked his gun at the moment he received orders to retreat, ea it is supposed on account, of his surprise at the orders. Presuming that General Piero* had discovered attempts to out him off, and that hie gun would be captured in tbe retreat, he endeavored to make it harmless. Re had just driven the spike home, when he was killed by a bell aniking him on the head. The New. York Zouaves, under Col.

Five rebels are known to have been killed by the Z3uaves outside of the works, and it Is pre enured, from the effeotive firing of Lieut treble, that eonaiderable damage mels have been door to the rebels inside of the battery, which 'ma built of sand bags and hidden from view by the bushes.

The pedestrian who travels leisurely oct at Ridge turupike, will remark, beyond the Fans a by.road going up a steep hill to the tut. Said by-road takes a crooked turn from Ms start, and after describing a lemioircle, ins to the eye to end in a clump of Wars sad go nowhere. A huge mound of gravel, oh% log bits of granite, which would delight the great Pagoda Ren,kitter the approach to this road, anti da Way is so deep and so ragged, and withal so beta with dwarf-trees and bushels end Mist Tlon i tbsl more than one wayfarer has panned to gm up the vista, and a few have even strolled up tit hill to see what lay beyond. In piece of a 'parry et the hill•top, or a trout farm, or an old mill, they have found the road—la narrow and covered with shade trove—windisj over beautiful rolling fields, spotted with many et the Amen country houneti In rural ralladelphit. In feat, we know of no locality so replete with the elegance of architecture and nature; for io the space at one mile and a quarter, the distant. be. tween _ the Ridge pike sod the Township line, there are on thin lane nearly thirty megoimnt reeldenoes. biehoodhouse lane has been europilred ruddy by Messrs. Warthinan .t Jones. It used to be s terrible plane in mid winter—almost impassable, and alternately a march and a euxessiou of miniature mountains. When the ruts were front it was destruction to a eonveyatoe to drive over the lane ; and when muddy, the owner was in danger of seeing the team utterly swallowed up far the next ampler to thaw out. The property. owners and the oily blabbed together, end the 'De tractors have improved the devious ate ems of the lane, at the Ridge and, and covered the entire length of surfaea with several Whoa of brakes stone. The stone has been covered with till, and the lane is now hard and trodden, squally Iwo elide in winter and in summer. At the same time, the 'sideman have been re• paired, and the narrow planes in the road wi dened. After passing tip the lane, over the Norristown Railroad, and through the windings of Ally MI of' trate, the first of the aeries of crammer hones is found, remote from the lane, with a wide lon I the foreground, think with , leafy trees, and op. poached by gravelled carriage ways, bordend by Sewer beds. A notioeable feature of the lane is the waling pattern of fences enclosing its lawns. In no place, we meet a kind of entities piling, oonailliii of posts thickly planted and joined with dlagual pieces, that give it en appearance at OM natk and unique. Again, ire find iron fends, with rash olosoly trudged; and thin, wrought rails, 0 1 4 6 7 the corroding influences of time and ohms* tad melons rolling acres of wavy timothy.

The dwellings on Soho*lhoure lane are of I princely oltarsioter, embodying all types of Arai!. texture and every kind of material, from foams Gothic cottages to piles of hewn stone, with minarets and towers, in the midst of parks that elope down to the Wissahickon, with oak woods is the rear and groves of sliver maybe the Nosey firs In front. In the palatial palaces of this locality there h enough to make Beings mortal immortal ; to shake Ambition bum theirteemnies, and bras hen. mosouroto et content." Thu labors and speculations of years are wroolit Into these dwellings, and the laborers, time re moved into retirement from the jarring anode time of the city, may pass the autumn of life with thankfulnese and plenty. Beyond the lane, or beyond the rural potties of 14 we reach the Township line, diviling the Tont ty , first from the Twenty-third ward. Upon this road we remarked a a magnibile new dwelling built with the peaked roof/ gad 10 ' dows and triple gables of the old time Psrn BIM ran crosses the Township line, and in fell tries we see the hire plum of David Rittenhoosst pretty two story dwelling, in gond preservation Farther than Rittenhouse' street, we pass be Get. mantown Water Works, hidden in • wood, tilth the tall standpipe towering over the trees, end a mile beyond we dome to Carpenter street, Red log down to the Wissahlakon by the ancient Bap' tbt monastery. A walk or a ride over theee lanes will repel 03 °kitten. School-house lane, in particular, will eon• vey a fair idea of the unobtrusive wealth of the Quaker City.
