We give foll details of The firing Of the Mas.
sachusetts ruflans upon the unarmed popuia.
ton Of Baltimore. A more inhunan aud
cowardiy exhibitions has never occurred on
this continent. The ferociey Of the soldier
firing from the cars upon inodensive specta-
tors, was only equalied by the cowardice
shown by some Of their number In surrender
ing their arms TO men who attacked them wiA
no other weapons than their fists. But amy
weapon is good against tyrant, when MAN
is using IL. Another noticeable fact is, that.
in the very arst fight, the race which they
have kicked up this great hubbub about,
turned against them and even Baltimore ne
groes attacked the Abolition troops. They
will find, before they extend their travels
very far South, that the negroes are loyal
race, and far superior 70 themselves in every
good quality Of humanity.
The time has now come when every man In
the South must prepare to repel the invader.
If we are true to ourselves--and who can
doubt tive shall roll back in n deluge of
blood this Internal onslaught upon our hearths
and firesides. Our fathers OF Revolutionary
fame had greater odds to contend against
than any we are called to encounter. We do
not believe that the race has degenerated.-
We are full OF assurance that the South is
about TO exhibit deeds of heroism which will
throw into the shade the brightest page OF
our Revolutionary history. Ii IL not enough
to say that such . people as the South, Hight
ing for their homer, cannot be conquered. -
They can conquer, and take vengeance, and

The instant marching of three companies of
volunteers from Rockbridge upon the first
announcement Of hostilities, does infinite
honor to that patriotic and gallant county
1t is county which was among the first to
move in the Revolu ton, and is in the front
rank now, showing that the sons are worthy
of their sires. 1t was a strong Union county
up to the moment of the Proclama tion bat
from that moment, like all men of Virginia, of
all parties, who deserve the name of Fir
ginians or of men, it picked up the gauntlet
that LINCOLN had thrown do wn, and sent forth
one shout from hill and glen from mountain
and valley, To arms To arms!'' We know
the men who have gone from Rockbridge, and
If the bodies Of our invaders are not rs small
as their souls, which would render them en-
tirely invisible to the naked eye, we will VEN
ture to say that every shot Of a Rockbridge
rifle brings down the game at any distance,
and every cut Of q Rockbridge sabre dissolves
the union of an abolitionists head with his
carcase. We are glad to observe that there
is but one sentiment in Rockbridge. Rev. DR..

An Alarming Reuort.

We heard on Saturday a report that caused
our very souls to quail within US. 1t was
that LINCOLN had sent on to request an in ter
view with Commissioners from Virginia,
that existing difficulties might be talked over
and that, after all the falsehoods and decep-
tions he has already practiced, he might see
whether he can't delude Virginia once more
to her ruin. or course, report that any one
in Virginia would now believe anything thai
LINCOLN or his Cabinet could say or swear to,
was ridiculous in the extreme but the bare
idea of its possibility was enough to give Il
man q shaking ague from his head to his
heels. For the arms of the LINCOLN Govern
ment the South has nothing to fear but let it
beware of their arts.
Confidence and trust In others are undoubt-
eddy marks of unsophisticated virtue but, if
virtue would be safe, it must not Judge others
by its own standard, especially when they
have proved themselves false and unreliable.
That famous son. Of New England, JOHN
QuIScnY ADAMS. once said +" When a man de-
ceives me once, it is his fault; if he deceive
me SECOND time, it is my own" Remember
that, Virginians Write these words on your
shining breast-plates over the doors of your
houses; in your heart of hearts. Say them
after your morning prayers, and when you
lie down at night "LINcoLy has deceiv we'd me
once-that was his fault If he deceive me a
second time, ii will be my own"

CAPTURE OF HARPER'S FERRY ARMORY

The Commissioners sent on by the Governor
to take possession of Harper's Ferry, have
| returned. The people in the vicinity were
opposed to the act. 1t is stated that after
| being addressed by the Commissioners, and
| after witnessing the conduct Of the United
States troops, they joined in the seizure with
fervor. The Alexandria Gasette, of Saturday,
says:
BY the down train on the Alexandria, Lou
| doun and Hampshire Railroad, we have the
| lowing important in formation:
The Arsenal at Harpers Ferry is in ruins,
| with ID, 900 stand of arms.
At IL o'clock last night, the Horse troops
| from Fauquier, under Lieutenant Randolph
and Captain T. II. Ashby, arrived at Har-
per's Ferry, and demanded the surrender of
| the Arsenal
A parley was asked by the garrison, and in
| q few minutes flames We're seen to burst from
| the buildings, they having been fired during
| the parley, by the garrison, which escaped
| across the river, leaving nothing but burning
| ruins behind them. The troops via the Ma
| nassas Road had not arrived.
| A train laid to blow up the work shop fail
| ed and as a consequence Virginia gets the ma
| chinery uninlured. A train WAS also laid to
blow up the bridge, but in the haste of depar-
| ture the retiring troops neglected TO apply
| the match.
| The Enquirer of yesterday says:
| John Seldom, Esq, (member of the Virginia
| u
| detailed with a body of Virginia troops to
visit Harper's Ferry, and proceeded to that
| place Friday last.
| When Mr.. Seldom arrived 1T Harper's Fer
! ry, the citizens of that place, under the inn
| preston that the State authorities were about
| to make an unla wfnl seizure of their proper

the supposed invasion of their rights. On

troops, fearing they would be ov0rpowered

as this was done, the citizens of Harper's
Ferry saw the mistake they had made, and
with the State troops, rushed forward to ex-
tinguish the fire and save the property within
the Armory, which they succeeded in doing
| in u great measure.

IA PROCLAMATION

Whereas an insurrection against the Gov
vernment of the United States has broken out
in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, and the laws of the United States for
the collection of the revenue, cannot be effec
tually executed therein conformably to that
provision of the Constitu ton which req uires
duties to be uniform throughout the United
States:
And whereas a combination of persons en-
gagged in such insurrec ton, have threatened
to grant pretended letters of marque, to
thorize the bearers thereof to commit as
saults the lives, vessels and property of
good citizens of the country lawfully engaged
in commerce on the high seas, and in wa ters
of the Unite States
And whereas an Executive proclamation
has been already issued, req uiring the persons
engaged in these disorderly proceedings to de-
sist therefrem, calling out militia force for
the purpose of depressing the same, and con-
vening Congress in extraordinary session to
deliberate and determine thereon:
Now, therefore, /, Abraham Lincoln, Pres
ident of the United States, with view TO the
same purposes before mentioned, and to the
protection Of the public peace, and the lives
and property of quiet and orderly citizens
pursuing their lawful occupations, until Con
gress shall have assembled and delibera ted on
the said unlawful proceeding, or until the
same shall have ceased, have further deemed
it advisable to set on foot a blockade of the
ports within the States aforesaid, in pursu-
ince of the laws of the United States and of
For this purpose a competent force will be
posted SO as 10 prevent entrance and exit of
vessels from the ports aforesaid. If, there
fore, with q visw to violate such blockade, a
vessel shall approach, or shall attempt to
leave any of the said ports, she will be duly
warned by the commander of one of the block
aiding vessels who will endorse on her regis
ter the fact and date of such warning and if
the same vessel shall again attempt to enter
or leave the blockaded port, she will be cap
tured and sent to the nearest con venient port
for such proceedings against her and her car

Massachusetts, and Maryland.

1t Is memorable that the first blood shed in
this contest has been by those men whose an
cestors were first fired upon i'll the Revolution,
and that the victims have been citizens of Il
State more devoted than any other in the
South TO the American Union.
When the sons of Massachusetts were as
sailed by England, the South rushed to their
rescue, and when they had exhausted their
arms and means in her defence, she refused
TO send a single soldier for the relief OF the
South. The wonder is, that after this exhibit
ton OF New England PATRIOTISM, The South
ever consented TO q union with such people.
The Baltimore Sun gives another specimen
of their conduct in the late war. In 1872, in re-
ply to the requistion of the President for
forces to repel foreign invasion, Gov STRONG,
of Massachusetts, fatty refused. 1t twas
