John Browns Son EnIististing Me-
grOes for the War

A letter in the Cleveland Herald. from
Youngstown, Ohio, dated April 20, says /:
have just learned from canal boat
captain, who reached this place last
evening, that John Brown. jr., is en-
camped on Beaver river, about midway
between New Castle, Penn, and the
Ohio river, with four hundred negroes,
principally from Canada, whom he is
practising in military drill. The captain
of whom speak brought large amount
of -four and other provisions from Pitts
burg for the camp. He did not learn
the particular object of the gathering, but
presumes it has some relation to visit
to Virginia-probably Harper's Ferry
when the proper time arrives. The camp
is not more thai days march from the
Virginia line. The captain further states
that | 800 additional negroes are ex-
pected to reach the camp in few days.
They were we'll provisoned and supplied
generally.
Another canal boat has since arrived,
whose captain confirms the report Of see
ing large body ofnegrocs encampcd on
the "Seven Mile Slackwater."

The masses of order-loving people in the
North are not in favor of the wholesale
hangings, slaughters and bombardment
of cities, which are daily advocated in
the columns of such incendiary sheets as
the Tribune, Times, &c. They cannot
see the necessity Of continual TRADE Of
abuse against ten millions of people, who
are each and every one of them told that
they are traitors and rebels, and that
their lives are to be sacrificed and their
property condscated. The jubilant boast
that slave instructions are impending
and that daughters, mothers and children
are to be the prey of black, barbarous
hordes, does not elicit their sympathy,
and they do not like to fight to bring
about such a result. Neither do they
comprehend the sagacity or humanity o.
a policy which would, without an attempt
at negotiation, precipitate hostilitics south
of the Potomac. Tho wild discourse in
so many of our daily journals, in favor Of
coercing the South with an army of Sc
veral hundred thousand men, and at an
expense of several hundred millions Of
dollars, they shrink Oghast from. They
justly inquire, why there should be Sc
great a cost for what could be obtained
by reasonable congestion, and a proper
amount OF Cancellation ~. T. News.

what is Martial Lawr

AT the present crisis the significance
of term so much used, and with SO lit
tie accurate sense of its meaning, becomes
unusually important.
Bowler defines martial law, as Z" q
code established for the government of
the army and navy of the United States, "
whose principal rules are to be found in
the articles of war, prescribed by act of
Congress. But Chancellor Kent says
this definition applies only to military
law, while martial law is quite a distinct
thing, and is founded on paramount ne
cessity, and proclaimed by military
chief. Martial law is generally and
vaguely held to be a suspension ofall or.
binary civil rights and process, and as
such approximates closely to a military
despotism. 1t is an arbitrary law origi-
mating in emergencies. In times Of ex-
treinc peril to the State, either from
without or from within, the public well
fare demands extraordinary measures.
And martial law being proclaimed, signi-
hes that the operation of the ordinary
.9gal delays of justice is suspended by
the military power, which has for the
time become supreme
IL susprnus the operation OF tho writ
ofhabeus corpus enables persons charged
with treason to be summarily tried by
court martial instead Of grand jury jus
titles searches and seizures of private
property, and the taking possession Of
public highways and other means of com
munication. Involving the highest OK.
ercise of sovereignty, it is of course ca
pable Of great abuse, and is only to b.
justified on emergencies of the most i'm
perative and perilous nature.

Neutrality.


Listen to what the enemy says on the
subject of State neutrality. The follow
ing is from the Philadelphia North Anne
rican
Certain Stares wish to be regarded
as neutral in the great war which is now
upon us. What this pretended neutrali-
ty amounts to may be inferred from few
facts. A few days back the Governor OF
Kentucky tried to borrow from the Lou
isville banks half million of dollars Ia
arm the State. The Bank Of Kentucky
agreed to furnish its quota to put the
State in position of self-defence, or to
prevent aggression or invasion from either
the North or South. To this the Co
vernon refused to agree, but after some
parleying an arrangement was effected
and the money was obtained. 1t is plain
that the Governor is for secession, and
wants to arm the rebelliously disposed.
He was willing to see Kentucky Gin
vaded" by Southern troops, but not by
Northern; and as be has the disposal Of
the money and is a secessionist, he will
have his own way.
This position of Kentucky is precisely
that of Baltimore. The passage Of troops
from the north through her territory is
regarded as invasion, from which il is
plain that she assumes the northern States
to be foreign sovereignties. Governor
MagofIin Indignantly refused to respond to
the call Of the national government for
troops from Kentucky, to enforce the
laws in the cotton States. The north
has responded, and by refusing to allow
these troops to pass through Kentucky,
the Governor places his State quite as
much 10 the attitude Of rebellion as South
Carolina. Thus, even if the neutrality
Of Kentucky we're reality instead Of a
pretencc, il would amount to nothing
more than treason. When the laws are
to be enforced there can be no neutrality. ;"

any cause or provocation except that he
was from Maryland. He was detained
in Jail some five hours. and it was with

was also attacked on his way back at
Mount Holly, Petersburg, Hampton and
Hanover, and treated with an indigniiy

the most brutal and savage state Of soci-
