Maryland Refugees.

A party of "a refugees from Maryland,
including two distinguished members of
the Legislature Of that oppressed old CON-
monwealth, reached here yesterday and
report condition of affairs in their ma
tive State so shocking to every American
| idea Of Independence and of moral propri.
ETY. that it would be deemed incredible
but for the high character of those by
whom the accuracy Of these reports arc
vouched for Indeed it might we'll be said
that the truth Of Marylands unwilling de-
gradation has not been half told. There
was On the part of the gentlemen referred
to, an evident disihclination to mention
the apparently we'll grounded rumors Of
respectable matrons violated, of husbands
and fathers rudely dragged from their
families, of homes desolated and Of prop
erty wantonly destroyed, and yet their re-
citai of we'll authenticated facts is so far
beyond what has heretofore been conceiv-
ed to be of possible occurrence in a free
country, that only the utter want of every
means of effective resistance can the pas.
siye submission OF tbe people of Maryland
be reconciled with their known gallantry
and spirit. One cause of the present sui
len quietude of the State is revealed in
an eloquent remark Of one of the refugees
"a gentleman Of eminent character and
widespread influences
"The eyes of our people" he remarked,
"are fixed, with their hopes, upon the Viz
giuia shore, of the potomac, and all ears
are strained to'catch, from that direction,
the first sounds of the yearningly expect
ted succor."
And thus it truly is. Maryland has
surrendered her ancient self reliant spirit,
to her con6ding hope of aid from the
Southern Confederacy, and by SO doing
has rendered the tender of that aid,
promptly and powerfully, duty as sacred
to our honor as it should be grateful to
our sffection.-Rick EnQ
