VIGILANCE residents of the District
and the counties of Maryland upon the Poto-
mac find it requisite now to obtain passes to
visit this city and return to their homes -
The loyal men of these are not sorry to see
such vigilance exercised, and think it should
have been practced long ago. Several came
TO the city this morning and voluntarily took
.he oath Of allegiance, preliminary to call
upon tne military authority for passes. This
is not, however, the surcst token of LOYALTY
as many Of the secessionists have shown INA,
they look upon the oath as a g mere matter q

ROCKVILLE, MD.
FRIDAY. ::::: AUGUST 16. 1861
Lincoln Raid.


In obedience to the wishes of the Lincoln
supporters and hisrepublican allies in county
convention, at this place, on the 10th instant,
assembled, we were kindly visited by two
emigrant northern regiments the first of this
week, who leftus on Wednesday, moving to-
ward Edwardf Ferry, on the Potomac, on their
mission of death and desolation to our friends
and relatives in Virginia, amidst the congra-
tulations of all the friends of the Union as ex-
planned by the Chicago platform, in this re-
giou. They treated our community with
great consideration and set examples of ODE
dience to the constitution and the laws, which
ought to oe made known and held in remem-
brance by all good citizens.
Some Of their friends, here, dined large
numbers Of them by invitation, and large
numbers of them had themselves dined, and
even l3dged, where they were lucky enough
to Tighten timid housekeepers to submit to
their demands. They robbed poultry roosts
-and 81 iens, corn fields and potato patches,
orefwds and dairiss, wherever found unpro-
tgtFd and IN some Instances before the faces
.. nc owners and in spite of their officers
They stole horses, gears, dogs, and many other
things-shot stock, broke into houses, searched
stores and carried off property, which they
failed to return even when ordered to do so by
their officers. They solicited our negroes to
kaye their owners, ravished our negro women,
compelled unprotected widows to leave their
homes and seek shelter from their outrages
amongst the neighbors, and shot at married
lady who put her head out of an upper win
dow and cried for help, to prevent them from
braking open her doors and entering her
dwelling at night by force. All these out
raEcs, and many Others, were made known to
their officers, and not one man was handed
over to be punished by the civil authorities,
or made an example of by military punish
meut. These are the men who have been sent
amongst us on the holy mission of saving the
Union, Furnishing rebels, and teaching seces-
sionists how to obey the constitution and the
laws, and to make them good and Ioydl citizens.
May we be forever delivered from all such
Irish and Yankee teachers and Union-savers,
and may better hearts and sense be put in the
dis tnion bodies Of Lincoln and his demented
CALI met, and the friends and supporters of his
cu4tbroat and tax-grinding policy in this
Sta he and may it reeur to their minds that the
Sculptures say, ''Blessed are the peace makers. -

the South has perfect right to secede, and
quotes the Constitution TO prove it, and says
that it is the duty as well us the interest of
France and Europe to recognize the Southern
Confederacy. 1t is urged upon the public that

advantageous, and hopes are expressed that

LrSooiN's PROCLAMATION. After having de-
liberatey and with malice aforethought plung-
ed the country into most unnatural and de-
structiye war, Lincoln and his hypoeritical
advisers come optnow with recommendation
for prayer and humiliation upon the part Of
the people. 1t would be far more appropriate
if Lincoln and his Cabinet advisers should
humble themselves, and pray 10 be forgiven for
the cruel wrongs inflicted ipon the country
by their nstrumentality. We can only pray
Ike David that " the tyrants may be con-
i9undod and put TO shame and confusion be-
lcgc the people whom they have so foully
ged." We think the prayers of the
hgpocrites will avail about as msck their
dguuug. The Lord cannot heed 80 paaiqns
of ihoss who cherish the sia Of ist e,f I'd

Mr.. Cameron,s Letter.

We invite especial attention to the fearful
avowals in the letter of Secretary CAMERON to
Gen. BUTLER, published in to-day's issue He
says " it is obvious that rights dependent on
the laws Of States, within which military ope-
rations are conducted, must be necessarily
subordinate to the military exigencies Great
ed by the insurrection," &C.; and after quot
ing the act of congress, intended by its au-
thors to manumit the negroes in the Southern
States, he holds out badly disguised bait to
the Union men, when he answers 'the more
difficult question presented in respect to per-
sons escaping from loyal masters" But he
concludes these persons held to service, y
(he fears to call them slaves, are also to be
taken from their masters; but a record must
be kept of them, and "upon the return OF
peace, Congress will doubtless provide for all
the persons thus received into the service Of
the United States" Here is congressional
abolitionism fully developed. Upon the re-
turn Of peace the negroes are not to be re-
stored to their masters, from whom they have
been unconstitutionally and wickedly taken
their loyal masters for them and the negroes,
who will have been carried to the North with
the disbanded army, will be free. OF course
the money must be raised by taxation on the
| people, and our oppressive war debt is to be
fearfully increased by the number of negroes
/ thus to be paid for. But what is TO become OF
the negroes taken from disloyal masters by the
1 northern army and set free? Are the people
of Maryland willing to become parties to this
congressional abolition robbery of the people
of the Southern States? We think not. But
suppose they are, and then suppose the South
ern States shall by possibility establish their
| independence, there can oe no doubt they will
make it a condition of peace that they are to
/ be paid for their stolen negroes, or that the
negroes shall be returned. The aboltionists
viii pay for them, hut never return them
! We call the attention Of the people to the fact
that the Union men of this State have en-
dorsed Lincoln's war policy and of course
this measure amongst the rest and we ask
them seriously if they are willing to be taxed
to pay for negroes set free by this infamous
proceeding to please Lincoln and his nothern
abolition friends, and to commit themselves
to a system of congressional abolition Of
slavery, even in the face of the constitutional
amendment Of last winter, that congress shall
never interfere with slavery in the States
where it now exists This shows there is nc
confidence to be placed in constitutional guar
antees, where it interferes with the fixed pur.
pose of the Northern States to abolish slavery
at every hazard, if the Southern States will
permit them.
