FROM OUR MORNING EDITION.
TO THE FREEMAN

FREDERICKSBURG, Md , APR. q, via Baltimore
The Legislature meets here to-day.
The Message of Gov Hicks briefly details the
startling events which induced him.to call them
together at this time.
He had labored earnestly to induce the Pres
ident of the United States to forego his purpose
of having troops from the North pass through
Maryland but The reality was, military necessity
rendered it unavoidable.
lie refused his consent to Gen. Butler OF the
Massachusetts forces to land his forces, and ne
protested against his taking possession OF the
Annapolis Railroad.
His own convictions are that the only safety
of Maryland lies in preserving a nenral posi-
ton between the brethren of the North and
South
He had hoped tina. Maryland might have act
ed as a mediator.
He can't compel Maryland to take sides
against the Government, until it shall commit
outrages upon her. which should justify them
in resisting its authority.
The House referred the matter to special
committee, who are instructed to report in re-
gard to the legality of special payments by the
banks.
They adopted an address to the people OF
Maryland stating that the Legislature will not
pass an act of secession but if the people de-
sire it, they will give them an opportunity to
declare for themselves their future destiny.
ST. LOUIS, April p.
The Republican states that Gov jackson ha s
unreseryodly declared his policy to be peace, and
that he convened the Legislature only for the
purpose gilmore perfectly organizing the militia,
and putting the State of Missouri in a proper
attitude of defense.
That ne told Price, President Of the Missouri
State Convention, he tho't that body ought not
to be called together for the purpose Of passing
a secession ordinance that he is in favor of re-
tanning the present status, leaving it TO Cir
cumstances as they may arise, to loternine the
best course for Missouri to pursue.

Washington, Sunday noon, April %.
The Capital is now safe from the attack of
Southern Rebels. There are full Is 900 troops
here in trst-rato lighting order. They would
like to fight too, but will have to 90 little
further South to do it.
The Administration is determined to prose
cute this war with yigor. 1t has both back
bone and muscle, as the country will in good
time see. The Capital is a lively place. and
more like an army rendezvous than the scat of
legislation. You see but few soldiers in the
streets. Gen. Scott and the Cabinet are not
idle Rest assured the General is preparing a
doee Tor jeff DAVIS and his minions, which will
be hard tor them to take. 1t is prophesied that
the whole South will be on their knees beppiuo
for mercy within sixty days.

The Extra Session.

The Legislature, as will be seen from our re-
port, adjourned Saturday, after putting Yer
mont in condition to speak for herself in the
war that is now upon us. 1t is creditable to
the Senators and Representatives that they so
soon accomplished what they had to do, and
took so little out Of the Treasury for their SER
vices in doing it. They SAW the Importance of
action instead of talk. There was not a speech
five minutes long made in the Senate, though
some of the Representatives had little more to
say. The few remarks of Lieut.. Gov. Under
wood, to tho Senators, at the close of the ses-
sion, had the true ring, and speak the deter
mnation of Vermont to see this war, inaugu-
rated by the Rebels, "put through'-to use
an expressive, though slang phrase-till those
who have commenced it shall rue their treason
in sack cloth, hemp, and ashes.
The Legislature has done its part now let
the people DO their part, and Vermont will soon
be In the front rank of the tile.
