Plain Tall from a atarylandor.


The secessiouists of Baltimore are in
great distress over the course of Henry
Winter Davis, and their newspapers are
particularly savage in regard to his recent
address to his German constituents.
Among other things unpleasant to traitor
GUS ears, lie said:
There was, therefore, but one question to
be asked or applied, and that is: are you
/" patriot or are you a traitor2 IL was no
use smoothing things over with soft words.
This is no lime to pander to the enemies of
our country. It is a season for organiza-
tion-complete ind thorough. BE ready.
Have your arms within your houses, and If
traitors dare nssail you, or choke your ut.
teranccs of sentiments of loyalty to the
Union, as they did by their mob of rutfiuns
on and after the 18th of April, respond
With AlaCr'ty and unanimity, and sweep
them from the face of the earth. Do not
again let them get power over you, for if
you do you will he cast from your homes,
compelled to seek an asylum in some dis.
tant State, your property Coufschted, and
your nation ruined.
He referred to the fact that the Lepisla-
tuTe was 10 meet in June, aud said that if
that boiy succeeds in passing any illegal
act, such as the Public Safety bill, the act
OF secession, or anything aka to them in
Outrage, 1t was the duty of the people to
dlsobey, and rise in their might and hurl
he tr utors from their places. He, for one,
was prepared to break down all laws, the
tendency of which was to suppress the
liberties Of the people. The people must
obey the acts of the Legislature If they
are within the law, bpt If they. go beyond

stand on the barren sand banks Of Pensa-
cola, disappointed. half-fed and dcmoral-
lied spectators of the Federal operations
on Santa Rosa Island, facing without any
means of helping themselves, the grim
monsters Of death frowning on them from
the battlcments and embrasures of Pick
ems. "Too late !" is their mental exclam-
alton. Thrre thousand lives must be sac
rifced in reducing this stronghold, the
thwarted Bragg estimates and then aban-
dons all thoughts of present seige.
What is Bragg to do? To keep force
Of ten thousand men at Pensacola to watch
a thousand behind the walls Of Pickens is
a sad waste Of strength. And yet to with
draw them and send them Northward to
operate at Memphis or Richmond would be
to surrender foot-hold to the Government,
to be readily converted into basis of ac-
tive operations against the rebel rear
Bragg is in bad fix, and it would seem
that the recent visit of the rebel chief to
that post has not contributed in any way
to relieve him. The fact is, Davis him.
self is poor adviser. For him and Bragg
to consult together is aclubbing Of unwise
and impotent counsels The result prob
ably will be that the greater part OF Bragg's S
command will be permitted to rust out at

While treason was rejoicing over the
great victory at Charleston, and the rebel
Cabinet were reveling in anticipations Of
the certain glory awaiting them, and va
poring about the easy conquest of Wash
ington, Philadelphia and New York, the
Government was quietly gathering its
forces at Washington and along the bor-
ders. Scarcely had the echoes of the reb-
Ell laughter at Montgomery died away when
the voice of a united loyal North was
heard clamoring for the utter destruction
Of treason. How changed then was the
tone of this blatant, insolent horde Their
bluster quiets down into a piteous whine
against invasion. and call upon the thiev-
ing brotherhood throughout the South tc
rally to the defense of their homes and
families against the abolition vandals'
from the North. Their dreams of glory
vanish as soon as confronted with an earn
est, powerful Government, sustained by
Northern manhood.-O. S. Journal.

Arrested for Treason.

Mr. John A. Skiff Commission Mer-
chant Of Cincinnati, formerly of Windham,
Portage County, was arrested few days
since, at the former place, charged with
treason. Of his examination before the
court. the Cleveland Herald thus speaks:
The examination of John A. Skiff. Gin
cinnati, before u. s. Commissioner Halli-
day, for alleged shipment of contraband
goods, destined to ports in the seeded
States, resulted in his committal to answer
a charge of treason before the U. s. Dis
trict Court which sits in September next.
The testimony elected in the examination
showed that Skiff has been driving quite
an extensive business in contraband goods
with sccessionists in Memphis and New
Orleans. His letter book and correspon-
dencc were seized, and appeared as swift
witnesses Of his reasonable transactions.
1t would seem that some Of the rebels are
mean enough to cheat their confederates in
the North, for in letter from Skiff to +.
B. Bartlett, of Memphis. he expresses con-
siderable indignation that he should with
hold funds in his hands from a citizen Of
Kentucky" and adds: "Did you get the
hams and butter l sent you?" Bartlett
replies that he did get the butter and hams,
but he wont pay his indebtedness for the
present, at any rate. So there is not al
ways honor among thieves. .t.
Skif exhibited much agitation when
arrested on the lcvee, where he was ship
ping his greasy ale, and requested permis.
sion to return to his store, which was re.
fused. An effort will be made to release
the prisoner on habeas corpus.

CnIcAGo, June IS.

The correspondence of the Leavenworth
Conservative, writing from Kansas City
on Friday, says that yesterday two com
panies of cavalry and one Of dragons, were
sent to reconnoitre towards Independence.
They went within two and half miles Of
that place, when they came upon body of
secessionists, numbering from one to two
thousand. The officers of the regular force
were holding parley when the rebels fred
upon the troops, wounding one man. An
other soldier had his shoulder crushed in
the retreat.
The express which arrived from Inde-
pendeucc at Kansas Cityiat ten o'clock
Friday morning, announces that Capt. Hol-
linsy, chief of the rebel force, was killed
by his own men accidentally, together with
fourteen men, in the fire on the troops yes
terday. 1t seems that while the officers
of the regulars were holding parley with
the rebels, the latter attempted to outAank
them, but did not succeed. The regulars
retired in good order. The rebels had 2
pieces of cannon in the fight and fired q
few rounds. But one shot was fired by
the regular troops, as they did not 20 pre-
pared to fight so large abody. lsa aI'i6

Skirmish with the Rebels-ohio Troops
.. Engaged a.
WASHINGTON, June 18th.

WASHINGTON, June 18th.
Late last night General Scott received
the following dispatch: n
left camp according to instructions,
with the lst Ohio regiment, 66S strong,
and went on an expedition to Falls Church,
to patrol the roads in that direction.
then proceeded to Vienna with four COM
panics, Co. Z. Capt. Paddock. Co. G, Lieut..
Woodward, and afterwards joined by Capt.
Pease, Co. G, Capt. Bailey, Co. H, Capt.
Hazlett. Total 275 men.
On turning the curve, within quarter
of mile of Vienna, were fred upon by
raking masked batteries Of, 1 think, guns
with shell, round shot, and grape, killing
and wounding the men on the platforms
and in the cars. .t......
When the train stopped it could not, on
account Of some damage to some part of
the running machinery draw the train out
of the fire, the engine being in the rear.
We left the cars and retired to the right
and left of the train through the woods.
Finding that the enemies Batteries were
sustained by what appeared to be a regi-
ment of Infantry and Cavalry, which force
we have since understood was 1900 South
Carolinians. we fell back along the Rail
road throwing out skirmishers on both
fanks.
This was about P. NJ. Thus We re-
tired slowly, bearing off our wounded for
five miles, to this point, which we reached
at ten o'clock. The following is the list
of casualties: In Capt HaElett's Co. H.
two known to be killed, three wounded,
and five missing in Capt. Baileys Co. G.,
three killed, two wounded and two miss
ing; in Capt Paddock Co. E, one officer
slightly wounded; in Co. @, Capt. Pease,
two missing. ......
The engineer, when the men left the
cars, instead of returning slowly, as | ord.
cred, detached his engine with one passen-
ger car from the rest of the disabled train
and abandoned us, returning to Alexan-
dria, and we have heard nothing of him
since. n Thus we were deprived of rally
ing point, and of all means of conveying
the wounded, who had to be carried on
litters and blankets. We wait here hold
ing tho road for rcinfOrcements. The ene-
my did not pursue. .e,t .tlsrs
have ascertained that the enemy's
force at Fairfax Court House, four miles
from Vienna, is now about 1000. When
all the enemy's batteries opened upon us,
Major Hughes was at his station on the
foremost platform car. Col. McCoOk was
with me in one Of the passenger cars.

Sr. LOUIS, June II.

AS part of Col. Kallman's regiment of
the reserve corps we're returning from the
North Missouri Railroad about | | o'clock
this morning, when opposite the lt.corIer'a
Court room, Seventh street, between Olive
and Locust, company near rear of tho
column suddenly wheeled and discharged
their rifles, aiming chiefly at the windows
of the recorders court, and second story
of adjoining house, killing four citizens
and lnortally wOunding two, and slightly
injuring one. Statements regarding the
cause of firing are very conflicting. one be-
ing that pistol shot fired from window
of house, on corner of Seventh and Lo-
Gust, and took effect in the shoulder of
one of the Captains, when he gave the
word to fire; another that one of the SOL
diers accidentally discharged his rife in
the ranks, at which the whole company be-
came frightened, and discharged full vol
ley on the crowd on sidewalk and windows
of the house.

Shooting Zouaves.

Last Wednesday week, or thereabouts, a
squad of the scoundrels who have been lurk-
ing in the bush and shooting in the back
United States pickets, &C., in Fairfax Co,
rode at full gallop into the village of Fair
fax Court House, and proclaimed that they
had just shot zone of them id Zouaves
near Clouds MILL and that thay left him
writhing like shot cat in the agonies Of
death" Soon afterwards a servant rode
into the village for doctor to visit Mr..
Mortimer, a well.known Secessionist, who,
while in his own yard, near Clouds Mill,
had just been shot by some cowardly mis-.
creants. Mortimer, it seems, wore red
shirt ON that evening The servants story
soon changed the tune of the mirth of the
murderers.-- Washington Star. .i as

Both these officers with others of the COM

behaved most cOOlly under this CALLING fire,
which we could not return, and from bat
teries which we could not flank or turn
from the nature of the ground.
The approach to Vienna is through q
deep cut in the r. r. In leaving the cars
and before they could rally, many of my

but brought off all their muskets, except
II may be, a few that were destroyed by

killed. [Signed,

PARsoN BRowNIow speaking of the reb.
els chances of success, and of the South
ern preachers saying that God is with them
in their struggle for separation, gets of
the following piece of plain talk:
True, our young men, and their parents,
encouraged, by our practical Preachers,
who never expect to do any fighting them
selves, to believe that God is on our side
that our cause is just-and that we are
bound to succeed I'VE have been study
ing the character of God, for the last forty
years past, and that too in the sacred Bi-
ography of his own writing and we confess
that we have not come up with any point
in his character, or nature, which war
rants the belief that he will identify him
self with the Southern Confcderacy in this
conflict This war has been brought about
without adequate cause
1t has been inaugurated by men whose
morals and piety, afford no evidence Of
their having had any intercourse with God
or his word And the spirit displayed, in
every movement, thus far, forbids the idea
Of God pitching in on either side. We say
this in no irreverent spirit, but with view
to advise the parties not to look for help
from quarter whence it is not likely to
come. Fighting without any just cause,
and upon their own hook, let them fall
back upon their own resources
