LoynIt.ts and Traitors in MARYLAND.

Loyalists and Traitors In Maryland.
The Baltimore Patriot, in the course of
some unfavorable comments upon RusselTs
Maryland letter to the London Times, sets
forth the position of the loyalists and seces-
sionists Of the State as follows:
The last election, held throughout the State
three months before the date of that letter,
revealed the fact that but three or four coun-
ties out of the twenty-one were for "peace"
candidates, and but three for an avowed dis
unionist. No disunionist was elected, and
but one Union" man of the secession species,
who to morrow could not get the same vote
by double the majority which elected him.
Sixteen, if not eighteen, counties of the
State are overwhelmingly loyal. Three or
four at the outside may be put down for
peace" men, while two may be considered
close or doubtful. And it is utterly untrue
that in the counties the majority of the 'bet.
ter classes" of the linen of property"-of
"gentlemen'-ar on the secession or peace
side. That is true of some. 1t is not true of
any of the upper tier of counties. 1t is not
true of Montgomery, or of Howard, or of
Anne Arundel, or of Kent, or Caroline, or
Dorchester. tbs not true that a majority of
the wealth" in Baltimore city is on that
side. 1t is doubtless the fact that of a GER
| tain class, living in certain localities, very
large majority are on that side. 1t may ba
| true-we think it is-that the women are tha
chief promoters and instigators of secession,
| and that large number of the males of that
| species are persuaded and urged on by the
| females; but to infer thence or to state that
therefore there are none in those classes in
favor of the Union, is as discreditable to the
| discernment of the Times man as it is to his
observation and knowledge of affairs here to
say that Maryland gentlemen are generally
! Catholics" This last assertion also marks
the place where DR.. Russell found such a
pearl of information.
The impression thus sought to be created,
that the gentlemen" of Maryland are on the
side of secession, is, as we have said, are true
in the counties, and especially in the county
(Howard) where the information is picked
up.
Among men of influence and position, po.
litical and social and professional, the nameI
of Hon. ReVerdy johnson, Hon. John p
Kennedy, Jonathan Meredith, William H
Collins, William Price, II. W. Davis and
others, widely known at home and abroad
as eminent at this bar, outweigh, thousand
times, the obscure small lawy critics, whose
fame is confined TO the orbit of their daily
round.
There are, it is true, among the secession
lists in Baltimore many gentlemen, really
such, of large fortunes-old respectability-
who have always been such, as their fathers
were before them that they are bitter, un'
compromising, and that they cordially de.
sire the independence of and union with tht
South, is undoubtedly true.

The Great Eastern Badry Damased.

The damage sustained by the Great East
eFn, in her recent disaster at sea, was very
serious. An examination of the vessel shows
that, in addition to the breaking of the
rudder-post, the stern-post of the ship has
given way. This is a mass of iron weigh hing
upward of six tuns. 1t is an upright column
Immediately behind the screw, one end rests
ing on and securing the heel piece, and the
other attached to the stern Of the ship. This
is formed of plates Of iron two or three inches
thick, and was secured to the heel. piece by
an enormous iron bolt. 1t was urged by
many scientific men that the screW-shaft
ought to have had bearing in this stern
post, and that, if such had been the case, the
screw would not have failed as it did in the
voyage from America this year. Had the
| screw been provided with this bearing, and
| the accident happened as it has done to the
| stern post, it is probable that the machinery
would have been so far dersuged that the
screw would have been unable to work, and
the great ship might not have been able to
reach port so quickly as it did after its
| paddles were rendered useless. ss
The effect OF this fracture OF the stern.post
| might have been much more disastrous than
| it was, for the heel-piece, having nothing to
| secure it beyond the bolts or riyets which
| held it to the ships bottom, might have been
| torn away by the pressure against the water
| as the stern of the ship rose, and in that case
would in all probability have taken with It
| O number of the iron plates of the hull, and
thus caused leak which it would hAyebeen
hopeless TO attempt to stop. IL is fortunate
that this piece did not sink even a few inches;
had it done SO the spindle would have had no
place to work in, and the rudder would have
been held to the ship only by the iron clamp
round the post.
In such state of things its move,
ments would have been most dangerous
| mass of iron of some twenty tuns weight
supported only by band in the center
which, had it remained attached to the ship
would have tapped about with immens
force, delivering giant blows on the ship o
smashing the blades of the screw and render
ing it powerless. The paddle-wheels wi
require to be reconstructed. The cost {
repairing the damage externally and inter-
ally will, it is estimated, be about fl000
The ship win be taken TO Milford for Il
purpose of having the necessary repairs.

ARREST OF AN EXPERT SwNDLRR.-Yes ester-
day, about noon, Lieutenants Hafman and
Hirst, of Hammond street Station house, ar
rested one Frederic Ehrman, on the charge
of obtaining goods under false pretenses from
the establishment of j. lie 'Boutillier, on
Fourth-street. 1t appeared that the man
entered the store in the morning and pur-
chased goods amounting TO about SCI, which
he ordered to be sent to his boarding-house.
Being suspected as swindler, from the
popularity of his chirography, which the
SALESMAN had before seen, the two officers
proceeded without their uniforms as parties
TO convey the goods to the purchaser. Ehr-
man gave them check on Ddnlap Il Co.,
but disliked very much to accompany them
to get it paid, as they insisted he should do.
The bankers refused to pay the amount,
when Rhrman was at once arrested. He has
since been recognized as an old and accom-
plished rascal. The case was continued in
the Police Court till tomorrow moaning.

TIE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD ON TEMPRR-
ANCE.-The N. S. Presbyterian Synod in
session in this city, yesterday unanimously
adopted the following resolutions, presented
by the Rev. Mr.. Maxwell, from the Commit
tee on Temperance:
81. The promotion of total abstinence
among our troops by personal efforts, before
they go from among us, by the formation of
temperance clubs among them, and by cir
culatiOn of temperance literature in our
camps, is highly patriotic and Christian
work.
90. We are called upon by every considera-
ton to renew our warfare at home against
this enemy, who makes it impossible to pre-
serve our liberty even after arms have
won it.
"3. In the growing practice of using native
wines, lager-beer, ETC., We feel called upon to
renew our testimony that total abstinence
from all that intoxicates is the only rule Of
safety.
"a. The presentation of sound temperance
principles from the pulpit is duty incum-
bent on every Minister of the Gospel, and
now called for most imperatively.

A PICKPooKET OoNvIoTED.-As Rev. Dr..
Goddard was entering the Opera-house last
night, the crowd which was pressing about
the door obstructed his progress in such q
manner that his suspicious were aroused, and
as soon as he had passed through he placed
his hand to his pocket, and found his wallet,
containing $40 in money, some tickets and
other articles, gone. He at once cried out
that he had been robbed, and that man
with white hat" whose hand he had felt
at his pocket, had committed the deed. Of
ficer Chumley at once seized the individual
referred to, when he threw away the pocket
book. 1t was picked up and identified by
DR.. Goddard. The nimble- fingered indi-
vidual gave the name Of VIM. Sheets. He
had been watched by the officers for twenty
minutes before the affair happened. He was
sentenced in the Police Court this morning
to q term of four months in Jail.

NIejOr zasoni and the Body {. 'uard Make ~,
n Brilliant Dash nc the KaA my. ~ HFEE II



The st. Louis Democrat of Monday has
full particulars of the charge of Gene. 7al
Fremont's Body guard. We quote:
8 A. M.-Have just seen Colonel J, Ny
Richardson, who was the messenger sent out
last night to meet Major Zagoni, and who re-
turned early this morning with his report.
The attack was made from the Mount
Vernon Road, Judge Owens, Of Springfield,
acting as our guide. Upon approaching the
town, about half past eleven, yesterday
(Friday,) the rebel force was found drawn up
on a commanding elevation in front Of their
camp ready to receive them. In order TO
get at them it was necessary for the guard TO
charge down a narrow lane aud level O high
fence which obstructed their path, under the
fire of the enemy, Although suffering
somewhat severely, they successfully accom-
plished that feat, and then charging upon the
rebels they scattered them in all directions.
They continued on into the town, where
some sharp fighting took place, many of the
rebels being here killed. They succeeded in
clearing the streets of all the enemy that ap-
pesred, and then proceeding to the military
prison released all of our prisoners held
at Springfield since the Wilson Creek affair.
Subsequently the Stars and Stripes were
raised over the Courthouse.
As by this time the rebels had rallied in
large numbers, and his force being insufficient
to hold the city, the Major thought it best to
retire. Before entering the town the Major
had been informed that the place was held
by twenty-five hundred men, and that he
must act with caution. The Major, however,
is one of the irrepressible kind, and he was
bound to make the attack at all hazards-and
did so. 1t proved, like Tompkins' dash into
Fairfax, q very brilliant affair." but also, like
that, without any decisive result.
Colonel Pierce, an Arkansas man, was in
command of the rebel force at Springfield.
1t is supposed that there is a valuable quantity
of plundered goods in Springfield, which ac-
counts for the large body of troops left there
to guard the place.
The loss sustained by the Body-guard is
thought to be about fifteen, although some Of
the missing may yet turn up. Quite a num-
Der of the horses were also killed.
The rebel loss is not known, but is thought
to be close upon hundred, as the charge
upon them was terrific. Colonel Richardson
says he thinks the sabers of the Body-guard
were brought into requisition with good
effect, judging from the bloody appearance
of the swords.
