Goo News from AIsyylAnd ana Wash

Good news from Mary Land. she recoils The
giant Of the North, uprising in his s--a. wrath,
is stretching his awful shadow across her Dor
ders, and Marylsnd shripks back from the
dreadful spparitiop. The alarmed and iniig-
nant loyal people of the northern section Of the
State are cut for the Union and the recession
lists Of the State Legislature, in retreating from
Annapolis to the city of Frederick, have loss
the use Of their meroenares- rufian mob Of
Baltimore. The grand schemes OF the rebel
leaders of the Legislature have suddenly col
lapsed. Instead OF secret session, secret
ordinance of rebellion, and the immediate steal
ing of all government property within their
reach, the Maryland conspiratocs at Frederick
hasten to declare that they DO not intend to Sc
cede. The thing is not expedient-in fact, it
looks dangerous; but they will appeal to the
people.
Governor Hicks, the frightened Gogeruor,
pleads for neutrality. Maryland has done

leans
Good news, too, have we from Washington.
Our latest private advices from that quarter are
very encouraging. They inspire us with conf
dence; they show that the city is safe, and that
the government comprehends the magnitude,
tho qualifications, the desperate character, the
dangers and the salient points, OF this whole
Southern rebellion, and is accordingly prepar-
ing to grapple it with strong hand.
| General Scott, who in October last warned
the administration Of the impending seizure of
| our Southern forts, arscnals, &C., by accession
! conspirators, Is now, we are assured, minutely
informed Of their present plans and movements,
and Is making his arrangements on grand
scale to crush them. Let the rebels succumb
or dispense, or before they are apprised of
their danger they will be encirclcd by our
loyal armies, as in the coils of q boa constric-
tor. Our administration will probably before
the end of May, have 100000 fighting men in
the field, and the aggregate by the Fourth Of
July may reach the formidable figure Of
100000, exclusive Of the blockading forces VI
the Southern seaboard. The land and inland
wafer operations Of these 100000 men will ex
tend from Maryland to Missouri, and from Mis-
souri, down the Mississippi to the Gulf Of Next
co; and no State will be allowed to hold the
equivocal and treacherous position Of that sort
Of neutrality which, while 1t recognises the
Union, co-operatos with It's enemies.
The government, of course, for obvious rea.
sons, does not disclose its military plans to the
world; but from the movements afoot, from

sippi river, and from various other items of in.
formation from intelligent sources, we think the
general campaign we have indicated may be
safely predicted. We are not lees confident Of an
immediate plan Of operations in reference to
Maryland and Virginia which will make short
and decisive work with the reckless rebels of
those unfortunate States. Within the next ten
days there will be, We expect, corps d'armee
Of fifty thousand loyal men in occupation Of
Washington, Baltimore, Annapolis, and the
roads, bays and rivers communicating with
them from the North and the South. 1t will be
the first duty Of this army to Lift Maryland out
Of the slough of rebellion, In answer to her
cries for mercy.
Maryland, in hesitating to plunge into the
gulf Of rebellion, must be saved. But she
must stand by the Union. The good cause
admits of no half way allegiance between 10y
atty and treason. We consider the campaign
now transferred to Virginia; aud she must fall
back from her attitude Of rebellion or take the
consequences. Our national highways must
be opened down to New Orleans, and Rich
mond comes next after Baltimore. 1.-THE work
