Maryzamds Ioice IN Consress.-
On the Sd inst. Senator kenned Y. of
Maryland, presented to that body the
resolutions of the Legislature of that
State, the preamble to each was as
follows:
Whereas, Ross Winans, while in
the discharge Of his official duty,
was arbitrarily and Illegally arrested
in the highway by force of arms by
the Federal Government, and sundrv
other citizens Of Maryland Were Sc
lied by the same despotic authority, in
violation of theirriShts, in violation
Of all their personal rights as citizens
Of Maryland; and
Whereas, The unconstitutional and
arbitrary acts Of the Government are
not confined to Maryland, the pro-
perty of no man is safe, the sanctity
Of no dwelling respected, and the
sacredness Of private correspondence
no longer exists;
Whereas, The House of Delegates
dose not wish historyto record the
overthrow Of all public rights with
out the record Of their indignant pro-
test of resentment against such acts
Of Presidential tyranny and usurpa-
tons and outrages by the Federal
Government.
Mr.. Wilkeson, Of Minnesota, moved
that the memorial be returned, and
Mr.. Kennedy, of Maryland. hoped
not. But after some conversation, the
Senate ordered its reception and
printing.

The War.

This all-absorbing theme and i'm
portant epoch in the history of our
once prosperous but now Frustrated
country, admits of much ground for
reflection to the learned as well as
the ignorant. 1t is a dreadful SUBJ
iect of meditation-blood! ruin!-
Where are those smiling faces we
were wont to meet in our perambula-
tions? Gone to the war! Where
are those .jovial friends with whom
we used to hold friendly chat IN
our leisure moments2 Gone to the
wars! Yes, tis true, they are gone,
perhaps never more to return. Not
a man is left who attends to his daily
ayocation with a will that can be
compared to pleasure, before the
war his whole mind was wrapt in his
pursuit, but now, how sadly changed,
his mind is no longer under his con-
troll, for it wanders, it is with the war
Before the war he was always full
Of mirth, now he is serious, his every
step indicates thought. Why! On
account ,f the war; his interest is at
stake, and by the least unfavorable
turn he may be bankrupt; he may
have a most valued friend in the wal
by whose side he would like to stand
or fall, but cannot. He cries: would
to God 'twere ended" but this avails
him nothing.
1ndulgent reader, do You feel as
though you were yourself! No you
do not, we care not what you say, 70,
it is an impossibili,y, it is not the
nature of man; you feel dissatisfied
but can't account for it, mark lis it Is
the war feeling, and not single per
son will feel revived until an end O
the war is proclaimed, and we mee
our old friends hockirg back to the
! bosoms of their families.

WOman's Grave.

I can pass by the tomb of man
with somewhat of a calm indiffer-
ence, but when ! survey the grave of
a female, sigh involuntarily es-
capes me. With the holy name of
woman, l associate every soft, ten
der and delicate affection. l think
of her as the young and bashful vir-
gin, with eyes sparkling. and checks
'crimsoned with each impassioned
feeling of the heart; as the chaste
and virtuous matron, tired with the
follies of the world, and preparing
for the grave to which she must soon
descend. Oh! there is something in
contemplating the character of awo-
man, that raises the soul far above

In yesterdays paper we alluded to
the launching of the boat built oppo-
site New Orleans, for the purpose Of
attacking the enemy's man-ofwar.-
The boat is the length Of an ordinary
steamboat, the roof being arched in
shape, covered with railroad iron, so
as to prevent balls from penetrating,
and the balls in striking will imme-
diately glance off without having any
effect, let the position Of the gun fired
be what it may. At the bow of the
boat is a pondercus cutter made of
the best steel, the object Of which is
to cut vessel in two. This will re-
quire very great power, which the
projectors think they have obtained
in the way Of two powerful engines.
The mode of attack is with hot water
which is thrown through hose attach
ed to the boilers. The vessel attack
ed cannot keep her men on deck, nor
can she use her cannon, as they will
be kept wet by the water thrown
Besides being covered with the heavy
iron, Che boat is built of the heavist
and best timber.
The boat has been taken down the
river with a view Of letting the fort
fire OH her.

Can you look upon her grave with
