awe are row beginning to have q war time
f st here, I assure you. The first great san
culinary conflict in this struggle in behalf Of
southern independence has been fought upon
Maryland soil, in resisting the passing Of
northern troops through our State. The senti-
ment here in behalf Of The South and seees-
sion is fast becoming a unit. The company Of
Q. S. troops stationed at Harper's Ferry,
passed through this place on Friday morning
last in full retreat FOR Carlisle Barracks. Had
people known at the time that they bad
burned the psblic buildings there, and de-
stroved the property which they did-they
W NJ not have Jared 20 well. There are some
fhous7nl troops stationed at the Ferry
ar5 more arriving daily. Several CON-
passes have left there for Arlington higtts,
opposite WashinKton. We anticipate a warm
time on the banks Of the Potomac before a
great while. All bail 10 the South, and the
stand she has taken in resisting north
oppression. fear our State will yet heat
yours out Of TIE old Union. At any rate, it
hoks that way now"

the following gratuitous suggestion
The border States will be the sole thester Of
active hostilities, and we should call on the
President Of the Southern Confederacy to send
ai bis dispOsable force 70 these States as rap
idly and as soon as possible. The Cabinet at
Washington ara peculiarly alive 70 their own
personal and Individual security, and will con-
centrate and keep most Of their forces at The
capital. That is the place to meet them, and
to meet them as soon as possible. Cincinnati
Is a very weak and sssailable po' Mt, and there,
too, the South should concentrate a large body
OF troops. That city is no. fortified, and has
no natural strength Of position. A lombard
ment from the Kentucky shore would soon set
It in hames-to avoid which, and the immense
loss OF property that would ensue, the city
would readily eurrender.0
