The Rebels h vo invaded Maryland with a force of from forty to fifty thousand men, and at latest accounts wire within six tinles of Washington. Their intention appears to be to capture the City by su prise, and before Union troops can be brought forward for its defense. They have three army corps north of the. Potomac and are destroying property, tearng up railroads, and cutting telegraph lines on a wholesale scale. Quite a number of Railroad trains have been captured, on board one of which was Gen. Franklin who was taken pri-. ner. Bal nm re and Wash ington are both considered in danger and the wildest excitement prevails, Troops have been called for the emergency to serve one hundred days, and it is hoped that the call will be resj ruled to without delay, SMALI. BCIANESS. — The New York World says, Lieut. U 1. Biwmin, who has had charge of the Military Academy at West Point has >ved from that position by order of Pi Went Lincoln. The reason for the removi. may be found in the fact that as soon as it was known that General M Clellan was to deliver the oration on the occasion of the dedication of the :to of ttie Rattle Monument, Gen. C'Ylqa) was sent or* bv tration to insist that another orator stupid he ch >sen. The committee who had the matter in charge refused, how ever, to make any change after a formal invi tation had been tendered and accepted. Lin colahs-end Stanton's 6harp personal malice against the General they had so wronged is at the bottom of this punishment inflicted upon Lieut. Colonel Bowman. The Round Table doubted whether the Administration was so forgetful of its self respect as to inter fere in a matter of this kind, but this jour nal haits answer in this Riaalk'st and mean est of the many email and mean acts of the Administration. — . - Honesty of the Republican party- Thc convention which nominated Lincoln at Chicago in IS'oO, as parr of their platform adopted the following. llesolced. That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right ol each State to ordtr and control its own domestic institutions, according to its own judgment exclusively,is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and i lido ranee of our political faith depends, and we denounce the lawless invasion BY ARMED FORCES, of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes. No sooner wis this party installed into power than it cotnmencol the violation of every sentiment uttered in this resolution, snd during the time that has elapsed since then the rights >f every state in the Union have been violated, and nearly every State has been invaded by armed forces—the Southern States ostensibly for the purpise of putting down rebellion—the Northern States for the suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press—for the kidnapping in their dwellings, of peaceable and law abiding pri vate citizens for dariog to differ with the administration. The Repub'ican party- in ]BGO went bef >re the* pe pie den uncing fnvr.sion by armed forces of any State or Territory, No matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes yet a person ex pressing the same sentiment to day would be denounced as a "secession sympathizer," and jn all pfobabili y the pensioned tools of the administrations which went ialo power with the foregoing resolution ac a portion of its declaration of principles would bo 6cnt to assault, arrest and abuse hit-n in his private place of business or in ihe retirement of his home.

The I inscription Law, The following are the amendments made by Congress, a few days sine# to the con soription law. It will be seen that the Is3oo commutation clause has been stricken out. This was done at the command of Old Abe and his pliant tod Stanton. It was a little | distasteful to the abolition managers at first and was voted down. The autocrat of the White House applied the whip and spur, and the bill passed the Senate by a strict party vote. In the house one or two who rlaim to be dc nocrats supported the meas ure. It is now aim >st impossible to get substi tutes at any price within the means of a poor man—The rich, only, can procure men to take their places in t 1 • ? ranks— No alterna tive is left the poor .ran but to leave t the country—and even that may be denied—or to incur the danger of being shot in a war which all reflecting men. feel is being waged, more for the nigger than the white man.

Tenth and Eleventh Nothing contained :in this act is To be construed to alior or in | any way afL et; the law relative to those Con- Iseientionsly" opposed to bearing arms, or to affect the rights of persons to procure sub stitute*. Jeflbrsou Davis* Peace Envoys. When (he lion. Alexander II Stephen ß . Vice President of the Southern Confederacy, applied for a personal interview with Mr, Lincoln, and was curtly and arrogantly de nied admission within our lines, upon a point of etiquette, wo expressed sorrow and sur prise that the administration should have thus dismissed an opportunity to open a path of negotiation that might have led to an hon orable peace. The Administration journals, at the time, insisted that Mr. Stephen's mis sion was entirely disconnected with any pur pose of a diplomatic nature, and that it refer red exclusively to a military question. We advanced arguments to prove the contrary, and exposed the absurdity of the supposition that a tatesfnah, of such superior abilities as Mr, Stephens, and oni? of such high official grade in tlie Confederacy, should have been dispatched upon an errand less important than the discussion of the radical points of difference bet ween the sections. We publish to day a recent correspondence between Jeff erson Davis and Governor Vance, of North Carolina, that proves that we were correct m our estimate of Mr, Stephen's mission ; and that further proves how obstinate and systematic have been this administration in closing all the avenues through which the in fluence of reconciliation might enter. When wo leflcCt upon the terrible sacrifice of life that has occurred since that time, and of the new obstacles to compromise that have been engendered, it is impossible for the patriot and the humane man to repress his indigna tion at tlie heartless treachery of those offi cials who, for their own purposes,could thus coldly shut the door in the face of a messen ger of peace. Mr. Davis says : '-We have made three distinct effor's to communicate with the au thorities at Washington, and have been in variably unsuccessful." In regard to Mr. Stephen's mission, he says : "The third tune a few months ago, a gentleman was sent whose position, character and repu'ation were such -s to ui-uiv hi- reception,if rue er- emj were uot determined to receive no pro position whatever from the Government.— Vice President Stephens made a patriotic lender of his services in the hope of being able to promote the ti !n by repeated as seriions that the prep -id interview had nothing whatever to do with peace negotia tions. But we wish the .people to appreciate the extent to which the arts of deception have been practised, to blind the public as to k h e re.'*' of affairs. It would not have suited i' fr - ljdcoln's purpose to have had the war terin.nateJ AT * t,at timc > bec ause, ID the first place, the AbolnJ n P >r ' n,t r 'P en ~ ed, and, in the second '-'' s arrail 3 c_ ments for retaining the President-/ wef." ,iot matured. He, therefore, sent a discoui | ous and foolish anwef of rejection to Mr. Stephen's request for an tnterview, knowing that such a course would so effectually dis gust the Southern people as to render any future advances oa their pirt. improbable. At the same time, he instructed his organs to mislead the Northern people by asserting that Mr. Stephen's mission was of no politi ca. importance, having reference exclusively to an exchange of prisoners. But, in the course of time, the truth starts from its hid ing pi ace, and confronts the falsifier. W shows ti.i.t the patriotism which governs them is of the paying kind. Butler and Dix are Major.Generals; Dickinson is a State officer, in New York ; Holt is Judge Advo cate General ; Forney is Clerk of the Sen ate and Chief of the Kitchen Cabinet at Washing! IJ Cameron was Secretry of War and Dougherty wanted to be Attorney Gen eral for the Eastern District of Pennsylva nia. OJ course 'lie idea of making it pay was not thought ot by these worthies when | they j >ined the abolition party. Again, at j the recent Abolition Convention at Bilti i more, out of the ten ennd : longer fney w :1 go for a new administration. In fact I have j changed my views considerable from what j they were when I left home- There :s too ; much nigger in the present administration and too in my lies published in newspapers. , I find if I want to aproximate any where near the truth, 1 have to take it from Dem ocratic papers. Inclosed you will find a silver dollar, (if it ver reaches \ou) which I send to the lit tie " cherub," and one which I prize quite highly (lr two reasons; one is, because they arc very scarce, and the other because it is a relic from the battle field near Peters- burg, and was once the property of some , Reb.

It was a remarkable saying of old Abe, about "tunning the churches," it was witty, i chaste, and very respectful—very. It ex pressed a degree of caution, too : no man like-i to "run a machine" he has no knowl v 1 Abe know about tho churches 1 It see us now. however, Abe, Traß j roereh acting possum," he hi.'' 6 ° tD t ' l,u j remarkable animal in tho woods whnf vp' 1 * j ing rails, and learnt something. S una- I months since two of the Catholic Sees of this were made vacant by death, and it became tho duty of the lloly See, at Rome, to fill the places of Bi slop Hughes of New York, and Bishop Ivcnrick of Baltimore.— Now, it appears; while Abe was lifting his hands against "running the churches" at home, he was actually trying that experiment with the Pope, by intcfering with his eccle siastical jurisdiction in selecting the success ors of these vener ihlc Prelates: First of all, says an exchange, there was a rumor at Rome that "the United States gov ernment" had interposed objections to the Holy See making those n >niinations on the ground of mere eciesiast ieal fitness. "The government" urged that 11 the views of the 'government," should be consulted. Ttiat, if 1 k "lhe government" was to. patronize "the church," the least that could be expected 1 would be that Prelates should he nominated wno enter into the views of " the govern ment.". Rvaly, this must be flat'e-ing to the mem hers of the late Methodist E. General Con ference who went in a body and offered Fa thcr Abraham the consolation and support of ALL the Methodists in the U. S., and who 'for crumbs of comfort in the shape of a smut ty joke, wriggled and twisted into aa shapes at his royal feet ; and to the committees of Baptists, and Presbyterians, and especially to Bishop Potter whose back smarts under the lash of Bishop Hopkins, must it be grat ifying. It must be consolation, we say, to think that after failing to subsi disc the Catholic Church, he should now attempt to "run" their "machines," each flattering themselves with the idea of being made the established church unld£ the spiritual and temporal hand of the great Illinois rail splitter.—Jejfersoni a n. OVE GOOD TH.KC. —The General Confer ence o. the Methodist Episcopal Church at its recent setting, made it a standing rule for the officiating clergymen to repeat the Lord's Prayer, at service. This is a good thing; for hereafter they will have to give over slander and pulpit defamation against neighbors, and follow Christ, or thoy will find themselves praying for their own destruction. Ye can not servo God and mammon, nor pray for .he destruction of even an enemy, without a ;xing of God tlv same measure justice.
