The old man sat down lis child, and
she went out of the library. His stern
lips did not culver, nor his iron viii faiter
In his purpose; but there rose before him
fair picture of a young face, above which
the grass had been growing for eleven
years, as bent with proud motherly tender
ness over a little, brown, curly head. she
was lifting it for it's father kiss
And the baby stretched out his hands,
and crowed triumphantlv as his fingers
clutched the mans hair; and his baby was
the frst-born child, and he had turned him
out forever
Mary had spoken the truth It was well
that her mother was IN the grave, for it
would have broken her tender heart.
William Reylolds, the banker. was a
stern, resolute man, honorable in his deal
ings with all men, but sympathetic, pitiful

He had married, late in life, a woman
much younger than himself, one who com
bined rare eraces of body and mind, and
who opened all the hidden springs of his
harsh and undcmonstrative nature
Their son had inherited the warm in
pulses of his mother, with the inhexible
viii of his father, and after the death of
the former, gradual arrangement devel-
Oped itself between the two, and the gen

The continued suspension of telegraplic COM
municatiOn with Charleston, gives rise to the
most painful feelings of suspense. The Star Of the
West was due at that port sometime on Tuesday
morning, but her arrival hes not yet been sig
nailed. The interruption of reports is generally
accounted for upon the suppositon that the Gov
eminent OF South Carolina has taken possession of
the wires, in order that information may not be
given ofthe nature Of the reception accorded to REIN
lorcements to Major ANDERSON. We learn onsthe
authority Of an officer lately arrived from Charles
ton, that the defence of the harbor has
been conGded to excellent engineers, and
that sand forts have been thrown up along
the beach, outside of Fort Moultrie, which
command the ship channel and place it
within the power Of their guns 10 keep off any but
a strong naval force. Should this be so, and the
occupants Of these batteries be reckless enough to
open their fire on the steamer approaching for
his relief, it can scarcely be doubted that Major
ANDERSON would feel himself compelled to resort
to severe measures Of retaliation in which he would

BALTIMORE.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1861

We are enabled to state, authoritatvely, that
Senator JAMES A. PEARcE has within n day or
two past, written a letter TO gentleman in Frede
rick county, expressing his belief that no ADJUST
ment 0: the pending difficulties will be effected by
the present Congress; and in view of the
apprehension which prevails, of an imme-
date collision between the Federal and State
troops in the extreme South, be thinks that
it is now proper that our Legislature should be
called together for the purpose Of authorizing
the election Of delegates to a State Con-
vention. 1t has been generally understood
that Mr.. PEARcB did not until this time favor such
q CALL but the imminence Of the peril which men,
aces the integrity of the Union has convinced him
that the voice of Maryland should now be heard
in the hope that from the well known conserva-
tive sentiments of her people such compromise
may be sanctioned as will meet with the approba
ton of all sections of the Union. This opinion OF
Mr. PEARCE has the greater weight from the fact
that the advices from Washington, up to late
hour yesterday, left no hope of adjustment except
through the action of the States

The President yesterday sent in the long
expected Special Message to Congress. As this doc
ument is not Of extraordinary length, and appears
in full in to,day's EXCHANGE, we take it for
granted that it will be read by every one,
and therefore will not occupy Our sadly crowded
columns with synopsis, however brief. 1t
is said by our special despatch to give
great aid and comfort to the Republicans, who
propose TO honor the reception at the White
House by their presence in body this evening,
with view of manifesting their appreciation Of
Mr.. BUcnANAN's change Of policy.
