NOT THE SAFEST GUIDE,

The Baltimore american, in replying to
the cry in Maryland that Maryland must fol-
low Virginia in her insane midnight plunge
into civil war. says: "The Old Dominion
has fallen from the first rank to the seventh
in our company of States, and the counsels
which have led her that downward road are
not the safest guide that we could choose
for Maryland"

BALTIMORE AMAZON.
HOW she PROTECTED THE MASSACHUSETTS,

MUSICIANS.
If ten righteous men would have saved
Sodom from the wrath of heaven, Baltimore
might be spared from the vengeance Of the
North for the sake of one true soul that in
habits that disgraced city.
The musicians who accomplished the first
detachment of Massachusetts volunteers on
their way to Washington were stopped at
Baltimore, and, after being most brutally
and cruelty assaulted by the demoniac mob,
were rescued from their perilous position in
a most remarkable manner. They arrived
in this city on Monday morning last, on their
way back to their Bay State homes, in a
terrible bruised, battered, and mangled con-
dtion. They stopped hare few hours, at
the Irving House, in Broadway, and then
went forward to Boston to exhibit their
wounds and stir up the vengeful feelings of
their loyal countrymen by q narrative of the
outrages they had suffered. We learned
the following interesting particulars from
the musicians, while they were at the Irv-
ing House: &c.
The regmental band that left Boston con-
sisted Of twenty -four persons, who, together
with their musical instr uments, occupied o
car by themselves from Philadelphia to
Baltimore. By some accident, the must
clans car got switched off at the Canton
depot, so that instead Of being the first, it
was left in the rear Of all the Others, and
after the attack had been made BY the m OBJ
upon the soldiers, they came upon the car
IN which the band was still sitting wholly
nnarmed and incapable Of making any de-
Tense. The Infatuated demons came upon
them bowling and yelling, and poured in
upon them shower Of stones, broken iron,
and other missiles, wounding some severely,
and demolishing their instruments. Some
OF the miscreants jumped upon the roof of
the car, and, with q bar Of iron, beat a hole
through it, while others were calling for
powder to blow them all up 10 heap
Finding it would be sure destruction TO re-.
main longer in the car, the poor fellows
jumped out to meet their fendish assailants
hand to hand. They were saluted with a
shower Of stones, but took to their heels,
fighting their way through the crowd and
running at random without knowing in what
direction to 20 for assistance or shelter
As they we're hurrying along, rough look

leader and exclaimed, s.This way, bows !

followed their guide, who took them up a
narrow court where they found an open
door, into which they rushed, being met
inside BY powerful looking woman who
grasped each one by the hand and directed
them up stairs. The last OF their band was

Spurious AND pIsHoN EST PATRIOTISM

SPURIOUS AND DISHONEST PATRIOTISM
One by one, as the Southern States secede,
or sc. ready to secede, salvo of big guns
is let off in the Legislative Halls. The
following is specimen, the immense
teverberations Of which reached US two or
three days ago: 1858 .......
"The Legislature has appropriated one million
dollars fer the defense Of the State.
It is an undeniable fact that the State
making this grand appropriation never had
million dollars in its Treasury; that it
owes to-day twenty million dollars :
that 1t has paid its interest only for several
years past by selling new bonds, and getting
deeper 10 debt; and finally, that it has only
saved itself from protest in New York, on
the lst Of July coming, by forced loan
from its Banks, extorted under fear Of losing
their charters. Such State "appropriates
a million Of dollars for deFenee'" Defence
sgains: what? Defence against the Gov

Of dollars here SO aippantly appropriated
for treasonablo purposes, to Ssw-York, and
invest It in her own discredised bonds at 40
cents on the dollar, thus reducing her

SUBLIME MILITARY EXPLOIT on THE
.---.- FRONTIER

From an article in the st. Louis Demo
crat. Of the l4.h, We learn that, on the night
of the 10Th inst, sc. H. Taylor, Capt. Sec
ond Dragons, Com. Post, Fs. kearney,"
spiked ten .welve-pound howiszers, because
.threats had been made to take these guns
by 10 OBJ violence" and use them against the
garrison. This cowardly and unealled for
operation, stamps Capt. Taylor as one OF
Does.icks friends--one Of the "Damphoop
family, and wholly unfs for any post. A
mob take the guns of Fort Kearney! Why,
there are no. men enough within two hun
dred miles Of, the place, to take single
piece Of ordnance, if defended By six good
men. A mob take the guns Of Fort
Kearney. What for? Every man, woman,
and child in the Platte Valley desire those
guns to remain for their own protection
from the Indians. But if the I'd Dragons
are all as valiant as Capt. TAYLOR, the set
tiers will have to protect them, instead OF
they protecting the settlers. Capt. TAYLOR,
after this brilliant exploit, may safely apply
for division of laurels, with that brilliant,
stratagetical and fearless officer, who de-
stroyed the Gosport Navy Yard, and eleven
government Vessels. A brace Of daring
men, truly.

A &Oufheru Patriot
READY

The Hon. JOSEPH Holt of Kentucky, lately
made speech on the present crisis in our ma.
tional affairs in which he gave his views upon
secession and disunion, and also his idea of the
value of the Union. In that speech occuis the
following passage;
81 wish solemnly to declare before you and
the world that am for this Union aoithom con.
ditiOns one and ind,0isibte, mO,o and torerer.
am for its preservation at any and eUe1y cost
Of blood and treasure against all ats GsSaitGntS.
l know no neutrality between my country and
It's foes, whether they be foreign or domestic
no neutrality between that glorious flag WHICH
now floats over US and the ingrates and traitors
who would trample it in the dust. My prayer
is for victory, complete, enduring and over
whelming to the armies of the Republic over
all its enemies. l AM AGAINST ANY AND
EVERY COMPROMISE THAT MAY BE
PROPOSED TO BE MADE UNDER THE
GUNS OF THE REBELS =
The arbitrament of the sword has been defiant
ly thrust into the face of the government and
country, and there is no honorable escape from
it,"
That is the sober, we'll formed and conscien-
tious conviction of southern statesman, whose
sympathies and personal interests are all with
the SOUTH but whose patriotism rises superior
to all the allurements that could g held out by
secession and rebellion. He is, and always
has been, leading Democratic statesman-a
member, in two stations, of the late President
Buchanan's Cabinet.
In contrast to the above, we quote the follow
ing, from the declaration of belief, upon the
same subject. of the editor of the Kenosha
