"The Grand Juries have recommended,
"from time to time, the erection of a new

became a mere matter of firm."
Surely, if this is true, the Commissioners,

fcJjfDEATH of Sksatob Hicks ok Mary
land, Hon. Thomas Hicks. United States
Senator from Maryland, died in Washington
on Monday morning, of a stroke of paralysis,
which overtook him on lust Friday. He
was elected Governor in 1858, and held this
office uutil 1S02, all through the critical
time when Maryland, before and after the
humpter attack, was wavering between
truth and perjury, between loyalty and trea
son. When the secret commissioners of the
Confederacy came to him to sound him on
the sentiment of Maryland, he persistently
refused every advance, and turned a deaf
tar to every argument. The effects of the
conventions which met in J-tbruary and
March were nullified by his influence, and
to him U due the loyal Legislature which
met ia April and refused to pass, a secession
ordiuiice.

The project of filling up the ranks of tho
rebel armies with slates is incctibg with 6
great deal of favor even among the most
prominent men of the Confederacy. Benja
min, in his speech before tho recent mn98
meeting In Ilicbmond, gave ft very good ex
ample of the ideas nd. arguments of those
favorable to the new policy. Ho said :
I will no v call your attention to some
figures, which I wish you to seriously pon
der. In 1800, the South hnd 1,004,000 arms
bearing men. How many men have the
Yankees scut against us T In 1801, 034,000 ;
in isoj, 710,000; In 1803, 70",uu; in ico,
they called out 1,500,000. Here you have
tlie'llgures that they brought out 8,000,000
men, against l.C04,000 Confederates, who
lived ut the beginning of the war to draw
the sword in their country's service. Our
resources of white population have greatly
diminished; but you had 000.000 black men
of the same ages: and could liivino prophe
cy have to'.d us of tho fierceness of the ene
my'! ill nth grapple at our throatscould
we have known what we ro know, that
Lincoln has confessed that wiinout the 200,
000 negroes which he etole from us he would
be compelled to give up the ountest, should
o have iiitertuiued any doubt upon the
sul'kot ?
1 feel that the time in rapidly coming on
when the people will wonder that they ever
doubted. Let us sav to every negro who
wishes to go into the ranks on condition of
being made free: "Co and fight; you are
free." llvve press them they w ill go against
us. YVc know that every one who could
fight for his freedom has had no chance.
The only side that lin.3 had the advantage
of this element is the Yankee a people that
can boat us to the end of tho year in nuikiug
bargain". Let us imitate them in this ; 1
would imitate them in nothing tlse. My
own1 negroes have been to me and said :
"Master, set us free, and we will Eglit for
you ; we had rather light for you than for
the Yankees." Hut suppose it should not
be so, there is no harm in trying. With all
my early attachments- and predujices, 1
would give up all. It can only be done by
the States seperately.

Crrr Point, Va., Feb. 11, 18C3.
To-day wo have the interesting newt
from the fiont that all is fjulet. Affairs re
main in statu uuo. We hold every Inch of
ground gained in the late advance, and
cannot be dislodged. The passage of Hatch
ers's Run was a great victory for us. This
stream, though not wide, was deep, and if
the enemy haT fortified its banks, we could
only have effected a passage with great loss
of life and hard fighting. That they did
not do so can only be attributed to the
circumstances that they did not expect us
to advance at this inclement season of the
year. As it was, our operations were scri-
ouBly retarded by t lie Intnl. Still, we ac
complished everything that was anticipated
at the first, and more than many of us an
ticipated. Having gone so fur, we shall
probably rest on our laurels a little while,
till the sun shines brightly out and changes
all the quagmires into clouds of dust. There
seems to be no immediate prospect of a
battle. The rebels can force us to an en
gagement whenever they feel so inclined, but
they don't seem to so Incline at present.
They cannot drive us from our position on
the left. According to past analogy, they
would naturally endeavor to mass and pierce
our centre, for our line is of immense length.
Their demonstration nruinst our works
opposite Meade ftution, on Wednesday,
might be considered us a preliminary te
connoissance having such an object in view;
but whenever they conic they will find us
strong enough to meet them. We hold this
important advantage; in lengthening our
lint; we have not been compel ed to weaken
it materially. There has been no marked
change in the disposition of the rebel army.
Thev have withdrawn no troops from then
left wing to strengthen their light, which
indicates that Mithmond will not bo im
perilled to secure Petersburg from danger.
And, in fact, there is not thu sUghet luili
reason why it, should, wUio there are a
thousuud politics1 r.nson which will make
the enemy tenacious of their capital to the
last. 4
To-day there have been reports afloat that
the 3th Corps wa3 about to return to its old
camp, but tne report has neither sense nor
truth iu it.
Yesterday at noon a private of the 32d
Maine Regiment was executed by shooting,
for the usual crime, desertion. The cere
mony took place at Hancock Station ; and,
according to military etiquette, there was a
grand display and countermarching of regi
ments, with gaily tluttering penuants, upon
the occasion. The wretcheu man had de
serted from his regiment some six months
ago, preferring to aljiuuhvn the joys and
sorrows of a Soulier's life, for the sake of
bumiiv' "partisan revenge." For six months
he has kept himself out of our lines, living
in" raves nnd deserted bomb-proofs, and
foraging for sustenance upon the hen roosts
and corn cribs of adjacent rebel farms. Uut
tho keen breath of winter drove him forth
from his burrow, and be came back n few
weeks ago and gave himself into thu bauds
of justice. His execution was identical iu
all' respects with others that have takeu
place and been described in these dispatches,
and a detailed account would have no iutcr
est for your readers.
City Point, Va., Feb. 12, 1805.
From tho reports of deserters, and from
other sources of information equally reliable,
it would seem that General Leu is contem
plating an attack on our centre, and is mak
ing, or has made, the necessary dispositions
for such u movement. 1 wrote you jester
day that if the enemy ventured any offensive
movement at ail, it would be most likely di
rected towurds the centre of our lines. The I
temptation to make the effort is very great,
for, wi'li our lincj at pn.ant so extended,
the centre would naturally seem to be the
weakest point, and if the enemy could gain
any advantage lure he might claim a deci
sive victory. A e know from experience
tnat it is n I'.i vol it-' species of tactica with
Lee to mass upon our centre, and endeavor
to pierce it. In the present campaign, this
seems to be the only plan of operations re
maining to the rebel coniaumder. The
Army of the Potomac can no longer be flank
eu, if:m ir n t k i.i aiiu-a it v..., ui.i i.
by cutting it iu two.
Accordingly, Lee ia reported to be mass
ing all his available troops around Peters
burg, with the view of making nn attack.
The scream of the locamotive whistles on
the Soutliside road can be distinctly heard
in our camps, and they have made the night
unusually hideous of late. There is evident
ly sometiiiiiix ustir. It is accented here as a
j certaiuty that the enemy will speedily at
j tack us, and, likely enough, the point of
attack may be somewhere in tho woinity of
Meade's Station, w here the late feigned as
sault was made.
Such an enterprise may seem rather bold
i and hazardous for thu rebel army, but Lee
j is in a critical position, and much have some
sueii desperate push before long, unless he
I designs to fvucui- . Petersburg. Whatever
! his designs, he wi. discover that they have
I been anticipated and prepared for.

Abmv or the James,
Cbfo&b Bicbmord, Feb. 9, 1865.
The changeable weather which we hsve
been experiencing for tho past few days is
both unpleasant snd inf onvenient. Boino
times it is quite cool, but does not continue
so more than twenty-four hours, when the
warming influence of the sun materially im
proves the climate. At present, in conse
quence of the unfavorable weather, nl! mili
tary opciations upon any granciscaic may
be regarded ih suspended. lays paused
into nights, and tmjlits into mornings, with
nothing more exciting than tue unvarjing
monotonv of military routine. Not even
tho dull' rumbling of distant artillery i.
heard to quicken the martial circulation of
patriotic enthusiasm, Hut all is as quiet as
if the angel of pence had purnlyzu I the con
fronting armies. This very stillness is not
only oppressive, but is the calm w hich pre
cedes the storm. Further more tho depo
nent snyeth not.
The spring campaign, soon to be com
menced upon a scale of terrible magnitude,
will fullv meet tniblfc expectation. What
part the Army ot thu James will take will
be unuounccd after the drama shall have
been enacted. One thing however, may be
. ....
nssuiniH, that though there was much ic
Kiet occasioned bv th removal nf f.Vcncral
Uutler, the manifest fitness of General Ord
to commend this army, uniting ns he docs
the polish of the ijeiillcmau villi tho disci
pline of the soldier, is already inspiring it
with renewed assurances of confidence in
his ability to govern it in camp or handle it
in the field. TeuU were at first entertained
that the colored troops, whose good conduct
and discipline upon all occasions were very
much stimulated bv their admirations for
General Butler, would to u certain extent be
depressed. The friends of these organiza
tions need entertain no fears in this respect.
In the opinion of General Ord they nrc not
inferior in discipline or martial bearing to.
any other soldiers, and all that can bo done
to increase their comfort unrt eflectiveiicss is
in rapid progression. He has personally
visited their tamps, entered their quarters,
and observed for himself what improve
ments were necessary for their convenience
and the good of the service. His modest
bearing, coupled with almost the entire ab
sence of military trappings, when wrapped
in his surtout, would leave the impressiou
that he was a visitor in the field rather than
the commander of this department, ilis
venerable appearance, witli a countenance
of stern resolve not uumingled with gentle
ness and other eminent characteristics, pre
sents a type of American nobility bjrn to
command.
It must not be inferred that General Ord
is any more solicit ions about the welfare of
his colored troops than his white soldiers.
He is a soldier of the regular ormy, and,
recognizing Loth elements as essential to
the overthrow of the rebellion and the
preservation of thu l i.icn, he ha risen
above all prejudices and partiality, and acts
with reference to what is right and just.

MKTAHcnoi.T Conditio!! or Quekh Victo
ria. A London correspondent ot the Now
York Tribune furnishes the following state
ment as to the mental condition of Queen
Victoria:
The Queen will not open Parliament in
person, though she has been earnestly en
treated to do so by her ministers, who would
fain gratify the community by withdrawing
her from seclusion and begin the session as
brilliantly as possible. She is more than
ever averse to society or publicity, and no
body seems to possess influence enough with
her to overcome what appears to be a con
firmed coso of monomania. People who
should know, folks who have access to the
palace, or are intimate with such, tell curt
ous stories about her. I heard very recently
that she had the arm o! the Into Prince I on
sort modeled in wax and clothed, and would
pass hours, sitting with it draw n through
hers, absorbed in inelaucholy reflection, re
culling the past.
The Duchess of Marlborough, daughter to
the great Duke and "Quetfn Sarah," bad
such an admiratiou of Congreve that when
he died she had an ivory figure made tu imi
tate him; also a large w ax doll with gouty
feet, t) be dressed just as the dramatist's
gouty feet were dressed in his lifo-tiuie. "A
glass was put in the baud of the statue, which
was suppofcett to imw in ner urate, ann to
nod in approbation of what she spoke to it'."
The Queen's may be a parallel instance, only
less extravagant. Six nvmtba ag too, I was
informed on authority that p.v.t the matter
beyond a doubt, that the apartments of the
deceased Prince wete kept in precisely the
same order as that observed in his life time,
his slippers and dtcsjing gown legularly
aired, his clothes, boots, aud toilet apparatus
placed as though he might come back at nny
moment to. claim theui. AH of which, 1
cuufVis, seems tu me extremely sart. and pi
teous. Ladies' Furs.
