JOHN FoRsYTH calls violently OH the rebels
to prepare to invade the loyal states. "Whose
blood does not boil" he exclaims, "to read of
the proud men of Maryland over-run and sub
dued by the outcasts of Massachusetts, under
the lead of that scOundrel, Gen. Butler 2"
maryland should be freed at all hazards, and
the enemy driven beyond the Susquehanna"
"We cannot make this war too bloody or too
desperate" Such is the rebel construction of
JEFF Davis concise enunciation of policy, that
all the south asks is to be let alone. Wild
and guilty men! there seems to be no limit to
their madness. While an innumerable and
invincbe army is surrounding the rebel
strongholds with wall of fire, they flying
from the approach of battle, and retreating
before the advance of patriotic arms, still cher
ish the delusion OF debating the terms of war
or peace. 1t will not be the first example of
the insanity Of Instruction dispelled by the
vigorous arms of powerful and harmonious
government contending for just cause.

UNDER WHICH KING ?-Throughout the
p esent contest, the secessionists have been
unable to conceive why they should not enjoy
the advantages Of the constitution which they
have abjured. The last instance is the de
mand of a rebel colonel that his captured
slaves shonld be restored to him, according to
the fugitive Stare lar. This is the sublimest
piece of impudence, or the most stupendous
specimen of stupidity, which the war has SO
far developed. Boston Transcript.

Their quarters for horses and men was in the
slave pen, The Michigan regiment had orders
to fire, when Sherman's battery whiried up
before them and brought the cavalry within
easy range. The slave cavalry then threw out
white flag and surrendered. Only one es-
capped. Entering the slave pen, we found

been found secreted in his house, and he resist

he ornamented is about fifty feet square, open
