NZCQ, III III tbO
Che hearts of loyal people
The capture Of Dckenson's revolving gun,
(which some of the graceless rebels were trying
to steal of from Winaus fOuudery TO Harper
Ferry. made Unionists' faces shorter and shorter,
unti they took on broad grin of delight NOT
that the invention is worth anything, for II is
not but it was the capture of the machine ana
It's inventor by detachment of the Massachu'
setts Sixth, which fell upon US as sort OF re-
xrbution for the murderous assault Of our Gentle
mems mob upon that gallant regiment. 1t was
regarded as first installment OF the Rowland
for the Oliver Of the rebels.
Next came the news Of the seizure OF the
Maryland side Of the Potomac, by the Virginia
rebels. at the Point of Rocks and HarPers
Ferry; the burning Of the forests on the high
hills on our side of the river at the latter place;
Che wise employment Of our rebel, Bradley L.
johnson of Frederick, in stopping and searching
cars Of the Point of Rocks; tue arrangements OF
the rebels for blowing up the bridge at HarPer's
Ferry and culverts at other points: the COM
bined escapade of the rebel rabble from our city
and State over to the Virginia lines; the i'm
rnense sweIl-head speech Of SIgnOr Teokle Wallis,
The leading SecessiOnist member Of the House OF
Delegates from this city, in favor OF Jeh. Daylss
rebellion, and the solemn disruption Of the Union;
the reported approach of the column of Federal
troops down the Northern Central; and score
of other local incidents, all Of which the wires
doubtless have already laid before your readers.
Much of all this intelligence was received with
bushels Of grains Of allowance, for the good peo-
ple Of Baltimore are beginning to estimate reOel
news at ts true value, but It served for the
moment to keep the newsmongers busy and ex-
cited, and tho restless groups OF eager news
seekers from starving for want OF patriotism.
WOuld observe here, that the streets and news
depOts are not so crowded as formerly. Rebels
are scarce articles just now, and Union men are
generally too busy in preparing for their duties

boards
But the surrender of 800 rebels Internationally
10 the United States troops at st. Louis, under
eke command Of the gallant Col. Lyon, was the
grand feature Of the days news. That's the
way to do tbngsr' was the general exclamation.
"Strike while the iron IS hot ~ "A word and
0 blow and the blow come first" "The West
ern bhOys forever !" Three cheers for LyOn!"
Such were some Of the sentiments that dropped
from inspirited Union lips. The only drawback

but they drew it upon themselves. The officer
who fell under the shots of the mob did but his
duty. nothing like cold lead for an infuriated
mob, at any time. Ii is the only argument Of
any weight, sad as is the reflection. There has
been too much dslying with the horrid vissge Of
rebellion. 1t has been too long treated as
painted mask.
You will have printed the rebelliOus and
treasonable resolutions Of our Teakle Wallis in
Che House of Delegates, before this will reach
sou What do you think Of them Could more
tnsdious doctrines have been coucbed in human
language They strike at the very root Of all
government, and are an odious plea for anarchy
Their adoption by the Legislature ought TO sub
feet that whole body to arrest as traitors and /
trust the law will reach the author of these
igpobe and treasonsble resolutions, and all who
ubaI dare vote for them. The telegraph says
chat Wallis made q pO,oerfh speech in their
favor. Powerful indeed He could not have
sad anything half so powerful as the resolutions
themselves. They contain the quintessence of
treason and can never be swallowed except by
traitors dyed in the wool. Can the United States
any longer delay the imperious duty of occupying
Baltimore with powerful army, after Walls's
