1t seems as impossible for an Asolitionist TO tell
the truth As for water to run uphill Compelled
to admit That they were defeated Of Lexington
they astenpt to cheaper the Confederate victory
by asserting that our numbers were tour tunes az
large as theirs, and that our loss in Killed and
wounded was between one and two Thousand,
white theirs was only three or four hundred This
was the statement telegraphed to st. Louis, Chi
esgo and Cincinnati, and OF course photographed
shence to New York and the Eastern cities. But
now comes Gen. Prices official report of the fight,
and what does he say aGur entire loss" says
tie Confederate General, G amounts to twenty i've
killed and seventy.two wounded 5as
The victory proves to be, in fact amost splendid
one not alone in Its effect hut in its material re-
suits. The visible fruits of il consistof three thou
sand stand Of arms, seven pieces of artillery,
nearly d thousand horses end mules, and ceres
ponding supply of ammunition, stores and equip
ments. We have recovered the records of the
State Government, and restored to their proper
owners nearly million of dollars in cash which
the Federals had stolen.
f All this has been done by Gen. Price, mainly
with State troops, whichsshows that the Missouri
ans are on the side Of the South. The forces
brought against them wese St. Louis Dutch, Hoo
siers and Yankees. In Missouri, unlike Kentzeky,
the fight is between outside enemies and the peo-
| pie OF the State. In Kentucky, our enemies SAD
say, are to very greet extent, natives ane resi-
/ dents. 5
But the effect of this victory in upsetting the
schemes of, the Fedefals promises to be most ad.

mistaken if tdoes not break up or at least resard

ours already, and nothing but the possession Of St

i our control. If he hold baea and attempt to keeE
Price in check and retrieve the disaster at Lexing
ton, he must break up the arrangement for ad
yancing down the Mississippi, and that part Of the
! game is effectually blocked sss,
Looking at this result of Gen. Prices bold and
vigorous advance in Missouri, may we not learn q
| lesson that would be useful elsewhere? If often
sive operations have done so much in Missouri
why would not the same effects fellow in Virginia
If Price has disarranged the Mississippi expedition

MARYLAND.

.=.
Maryland is thoroughly under the heel of the
oppressor. If the people there, who do not sing
hosannahs to Lincoln, were incarcerated in dun
geons, they would scarcely be more deprived of
liberty than they are. Thousands have escaped to
Virginia, and are now serving in the Southern
army but thousands more are left behind, with
no freedom of action or of Speech beset by spies,
insulted by rude and beastly soldery, and liable
at any moment to bearrested and jailed.
Maryland is anxious to strike a blow for the
South, and q brave, strong blow she would strike
If she had the opportunity. But the South will not
furnish that opportunity. The State cannot resist,
alone and unaided. Deprived Of arms, and de-
prved Of the right to organize for defence, she
must submit from imperative necessity. 1t would
be folly to openly defy an enemy strong enough to
crush her at single blow.
But though she is poweress she raises her crest
as proudly and defantly as ever. Not single
regiment we see il stated has she furnished to the
Federal army. The proud-spirited descendants of
the Cavaliers who settled her shores can have no
association orsgmpathy with theignoble breedof
scanting, sniveling puritanical Yankees who now
overrun her soil. Even the lower portion of the
State inhabited by the first gentlemen of America,
has had military dictator set over it in the per-
son Of that notorious murderer, and consort Of
prostitutes and thieves, Daniel E. Sekles.sat.z Ma
Maryland belongs as naturally to the Southern
Confederacy as Virginia. m~truth, the value Of
Virginia to the South. will be seriously impaired if
Maryland continues to be a Northern province.
The shores Of both States are washed by Chesa-
peake Bay, and it is essential to the commerce as
well as the security of Virg;n that that Bay do
not belong, even in part, toa State of another
Confederacy. Virginia cannot permit the North to
have the upper part.ofSa Bay connecting with the
ocean, the lower part Of which is included between
portions of her own territory.
But the interests Of commerce, powerful as they
are, count little in comparison. Maryland is soy
eregn State and has the right to declare what she
will do, Withoutlet or hindrance. She belongs
naturally to the South and she desires to go with
the South It remains for us to say whether or not
she shall be restrained of her free WILL kept in an
unnatural alliance abhortent to all her sensibities
and chained TO an association which she despises
and would gladly escape. The people are trembling
with anxiety and hope, and praying for an army OF
deliyerance. Not alone the release of this gallan
State from her thraldom, but other and more splen
did advantages yet, would follow the occupation 0
her soil by the forces Of the Confederate army.

TALK ON CHANGE

p d
The gatherings on the flags increase daily yea,
there are hundreds Of would be operators in cot
ton, if the bales were only on the market. There
are orders for Spain and orders for France. Spain
having gone SO far as to recognize the Confederate
tag commercially, is in favor. Yet that is not suf
feient We reguiEe a full and unconditional recog-
milton. Then Spanish manufacturers will receive
cotton without a lincoln license. The milk and
water course of Great Britain is condemned by its
subjects now in our city. But what is the price or
value of a Lincoln license to export cotton, or
rather pass the blockade ?? In the years 1872 1913
and 1874 ten Thousand dollars were freely paid for
"a simple license Of cargo Of -Four of four or FIVE
thousand barrels. Talking of licenses and Illicit
trade, brings up the memory Of a resident in this
city for some thirty-fve years, who was engaged
in the supplying of provisions to the British block
aiding squadron in Long Island Sound under Swed-
ish colers with British license, Just the same as
there are Lincoln 8 Chase licenses now anoat.
There was considerable inquiry for cotton yester-
day. For what market is this delnand2 Who
knows? True, the purchase of Middling Cotton at
nine cents will pay, even If the cotton has to be
retained twelve months before it can be forwarded
| to market. q = =
The talk continues freely on the sequestraton
act. Persons are arriving daily from the Northern
States. Some that were born in the States north
Of Mason and Dixon's line, in the States Of Penn
sglvania and New York, and never in the South
before this week, now call themselves southerners
IT is supposed this would be stretching rather too
far to aid in securing property subject to seques
tration and liable to confscation.s There was
some inquiry about the correspondence of party
large owner Of real estate and a sort of agen
for one Of our large banks, who wrote last spring
and sumner that it was all folly for the South Il
contend against the gNorti that secession wouli
be crushed out by the omnipotence Of the North
