This piuiul equivoque OF neutrality has done

true Union men there and elsewhere, we have
sympathy ard common interest; but for those
who cry out "Ubon' for the sole purpose OF
driving good bargain for au adjustment which
shall leave owners OF negroes lt.le better of

than toward Mr. Jefferson Davis aod his con-

Let me give you narrative and incidents IN
stead OF rhetoric and (you may say) rhapsody. Gen.
Butler, without specific orders, marches upon
Baltimore and takes possession. Rebellion,
fostering in insuuecti0D, is held quiet. He IS
withdrawn from bis command, aud put in jail
siusts at Fortress Monroe. Lieut.. TOmrkns
makes most superb charge on the advanced
posts at Fairfax rash, indeed, but worth the
lives OF a thousand mes IN the spirit il gave Tho
soldiers and he is snubbed. Gen. Mcdowell
proposes to move on the cnemy's lnes, and push
toward Richmond, as he could, and it is sud
denly discovered that twenty thousand men must
have Msjor-General, and ex-Secreiary Dix Is
placed over him as superior officer. Gen.
Banks, who came here with we-earned repu-
tation for energy and activity, courage aud good
conduct, ia placed in solitary confinement at
Fort McHenTy. Even Gen. Lyon and Col.
Blair, who have redeemed by their daring sue
ces.es the dropping spirit of the people, are
under the penumbra Of a dsrkened disc.
Secret communications are being held with the
leading Rebels. Negotiations, which are 50 near
treason that the technicates Of definition only
mako it doubtful are now being carried on with
emissaries from laeitious traitors. A settlement
Of viainous pluDder and shameful raid, is TO be
adjusted by a laying down Of arms, and on ex-
tension Of the line of $50 30 to the Pacific.
Who can be 50 Insane as to suppose that three
hundred thousand men, with million more be.
hind them who would take up arms If it were
needful, can be made TO disband and go home on
