THE COMING OF THE AvENGER,

II is difficult to obtain accurate and continu-
Gus information from any portion of the Union
now in revolt The usual avenues OF commu.
nication are closed, and we may only judge Of
the progress of the rebellion by results. The
journals in its interest are in the dark as TO
specific movements of policy. The letters
which steal their way darkly to the north
throw light only upon small localities. The
travellers who have shaken the dust from their
feet, and fed, can only relate what they have
gathered under difficulties, and by fragments.
The councils of the band of conspirators
against the Union,--lhere is no avenue broad
enough 10 conduct them to the light. The
old battles of the reformation were fought
and won long before the brave hearted,
christian warriors knew what schemes of
magnificent wckedness against the free
thought of Europe Philip Second and his
councillors had plotted in the secret chambers
of the Escorial drring the long night of trial
The advices, however, which are permitted to
see the light are decisive upon the point that
the rebels have chosen Virginia as the battle
ground, ana that their available forces are
mastering upon her sacred soil" with all the
rapidity they can command.
1t happens with admirable justice, that the
state whose perfidy has been so conspicuous,
and so base, should be the first which is swept
by the storm. OF the thirteen original states,
not one, nor all of them together, had so many
Obligations TO be loyal and true, as Virginia.
Indeed, all that distinguishes her history
above others-all that saves her from being
discarded as worthless burden-belongs to
the country by sacred title which can not
be broken by the bad faith OF her sons. The
historical Union is stronger than acts of seces-
sion and though every inhabtant of the state
united to break the bond, it would resist the
assault The spirits of her own patriots would
fight Tor its preservation. The dead soldiers
and statesmen of impcrishable memory, who
gave and received honor in the service of the
country, would rise from their graves to de-
tend the honor which they plighted, and the
flag for which they died. The country ap.
peals from Mason to Washington, from Vir-
gina in 1861 to Virginia in 1880, from the
move, and no oaths can bind, to the illustrous
men who preferred death to national dishonor;
and with the arms of her true sons she will
maintain the historical verdict, though every
river Of the Old Dominion should run crimson
to The sea. -
Except on her southern border Virginia is
surrounded by an almost impenetrable wall of
troops. A forest OF federal bayonets stretches
from the mouth OF the Chesapeake, along the
banks of t1e Potomac, west of the Alleghanies,
to tbe-Ohio river, ready to extend down upon
He rebel camps whenever Gen. scott chooses
to give the command. The following calcula-
ton, based upon the most recent movements,
shows the station and command of the troops
whose location is deiermined =

The NEXT GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND
A correspondent desires us to state, distinctly
where the citizen must have his residence to
be eligible as candidate tor governor at the
ensuing election. The clause of the c0nstitu-
ton ruling in the case is art 2, sec. 5, which
divides the state into three districts - ST.
Mary's, Charles, Calvert, Prince Georges,
Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Howard
counties and the city ol Baltimore, to be the
first; the eight counties of the eastern shore
to be the second and Baltimore, Hartford,
Frederick, Washington, Allegheny, and Car
roll counties, to be the third. The governor
elected from the third district in October prior
to the adoption of the constitution, was to
continue in office during the term Tor which
he was elected. The next was taken from the
first district, the Hon. L. Watkins Lyon, of
Howard county his successor was the present
executive, Gov Hicks, from Dorchester coun
ty, on the eastern shore; the next candidate
must be from the third district, which includes
all the counties north OF the city of Baltimore,
and west of the Chesapeake Bay and the Sus-
quehanna river. He may be resident OF
Baltimore county but a resident OF Baltimore

The following is from a young man, former

currences thai have been mentioned in our
dispatches =
On BOARD THE u. s. FRIGATE MINNESOTA,
fFort Monroe, May "a 1861. !
We have been doing good business in the
way Of taking prizes, having taken twenty
since our arrival two ships and the rest small
craft, all valued at $4,000. We are about
four miles from the rebels nearest battery, be-
tween which and Norfolk they have erected
sand batteries. They do most of their work
in the night.
We have a number Of gunboats with us,
small steamers built so as to go fast, and car
rying from three to four guns each. Last
week one of these went up to Norfolk with a
flag of truce, and the rebels, in defiance of all
rules, fired into her. The Star went up TO the
rebel battery OIL the point and banged away at
it, destroying it in about three hours Last
Friday a secession steamer came down from
Norfolk with flag of truce flying forward and
secession flag aft. She brought load of
women and children who are going to their
friends at the north.
Last Sunday the rebels at the point battery
fred again at the Star, she being there to
watch their movements, The Star returned
the fire and kept it mp until night If the
channel had been clear, we should have gone
TO her assistance. Our largest gun however
carries about five miles, and about five o'clock
the commodore gave orders TO beat 10 quar-
tiers. "kong Tom" was cast loose, loaded
with shell, and let drive at them but the fuse
was only for five seconds, when it should have
been fifteen. The shell went xhizzing through
the air and burst about quarter OF mile
from the battery. But the Star did good ex-
ecution. The rebel account is this :-"Our
side lost six killed and we stove the steamer
all to pieces" The Star received but five
shots, two of which went through her, wound.
ing the cabin boy and the "powder monkey"
Monday ali day, our gunner and his crew
were engaged in preparing shell with fifteen
second fuse. Yesterday, we expected to go
up TO the battery and lombard it. Early this
morning steam was got up, and we expected
to go up, when an order was given to put out
the fires, and we are still here. We have
since received an order to sail tomorrow for
the Gulf OF Mexico, to see what they are at
in that quarter. Gen. Butler, who has ar
rived at Fort Monroe, came on board yester-
day with his aids. The ships crew were
dressed in their best TO receive him.
The rebels took barque at Norfolk, drove
the captain and crew from the city, and sunk
the vessel in the channel The captain had
his daughter with him. They came aboard
the Minnesota, aud stayed two nights, and
then went to New York. They were treated
handsomely. The daughter was the eommo
dores guest and she was sought after by the
middies quite zealously. She will have ro-
mantle story TO tell when she gets home.

One of those singular oscillations in the
lakes, which have been observed occasionally
from the time of the explorations OF TIE Jesuit
fathers, was witnessed yesterday in Lake
Michigan. n variety OF signs, such as the
mirage OF the distant shore, unusual depres-
sion of the barometer, and sudden rise OF
the temperature from Il coDl, bracIng air to
sultry heat indicated an unusual commotiOn
in the atmospheric elements. About eleven
O'Clock a. NJ, when our attention was first
called to that phenomenon, the waters
of the lake had risen about thirty one INCH
es ADORE the ordinary terel and in the course
Of haitian hour they again receded. Through
out the whole dag they continued TO ebb
and flow, at intervals of fifteen or twen-
~ minutes, and the current between the outer
and inner breakwater, near the Illinois Central
round house, was SO great at times that row
boat made little or no Roadway against it. The
extreme variation between high and low wa
ter was nearly three feet. The wind all day
was off shore, from the southwest) the effect
of which WAS to keep down the waters instead
of accumulating them at this point. About
O'Clock in the evening it veered suddenly to
the northwest, an. blew a violent gale, accom-
panied by vivid electrical displays. This morn
ing tNlonday) we hear OF telegraphic lines
Frustrated, OF persons killed by lightning, &C.,
while the lake, although agitated, exhibits none
OF the pulsalions of yesterday.
In Foster & Whituey's report on the geolo-
gy of Lake Superior, the phenomena OF these
fluctuations are deliberately discussed and Tor
the most part they are found TO be the pre-
monitiOn of an approaching gale. sudden
change of the atmospheric pressure over u
large body of water would cause a perpendic-
ular rise or fall, in the manner of waves,
greater than the mere weight itself, which
would propagate themselves in series OF N
dulations from the centre OF disturbance.
These fluctuations result from an unusual dis.
turbance of the atmosphere, occurring around
the marginof a storm, and its effects are per-
| ceived before the storm actually breaks.

CHURCH ANTI SLAVERY SocIETY.-One of
the resolutions adopted by the church anti.
slavery society, at its anniversary in Boston,
this week, declares that in our judgment, the
guiding star through the war into which We
have been forced, is the purpose of God in re-
gard TO slavery, as made known by His word,
His spirit aud His providence; and if our
government is still dreaming that this struggle
can be successful, while the laws of Jehovah
are ignored, and His command, LET THE
OPPRESSED GO FREE, is disregarded, then
there is preparing FOR us a terrible awakening"
Another resolution quotes at length from the
celebrated speech Of John Quincy Adams, in
1872, and asserts with confidence, "that, in
the order of divine providence, the time has
come Tor the people and the government to
avail themselves OF the rights of the war pow
er, as argued by John Quincy Adams, and to
declare an act of emancipation, as the only
meaus of averting the horrors OF a widespread
and most bloody servile Instruction.
