The Baltimore American of Monday
contains an Interesting account Of the arri
val at its destination of the Federal exre-
dition 10 the eastern shore Of Virginia.
Tie force. numbering some five thousand
men, embarked on the steamers Georria
and Georgiana. landing at New Point,
Somerset county. Nd, a few miles from
the Accomac, Va. line When they arri-
we'd at their destination. on Sunday
morning last. the officers were at once IN
vited 10 n large frame house and well en- =
tertalned. The people having inquired IN
regard to the object of the force. the proc
amation Of General Dix was twice read to
them. and they seemed surprised and
highly gratifed. They said it was the
very thing they wanted. and they hoped
that the United States would give them
protection for the secessionists, WHO had
within tie last two or three weeks. been
impressing them into their service. II
was true that during the day the presence
of the United States gunboats (prohablv
the Ajax and Reliance protected them,
but during the night the secessionis,s
would advance and carry them of. Many
Union men had to take refuge in the woods.
whilst others had succeeded in crossing 20
the Maryland side for safety.
1t was Sunday when the landing was
made. and for this reason many of them
refused to sell provisions, but were finally
prevailed upon to afford good supply at
very moderate rates. 1t consisted in part
of choice vegetables. meat, oysters. fish
and turtles. The men stated that the
blockade made their condition perfectly
isolated, 50 that they scarcelev knew what
was going on in the res, Of tie world.

If he says, further on, we husband
our means. and make a judicious use of
our resources, it would be difficult to fix
limit to the period during which we
could conduct a war against the adversary
whom we now encounter. The very ef-
forts which he makes to desolate and di-
vide MS must exhaust his means, whist
they serve TO complete the circle. and di-
versIfy the productions Of our industrial
system. The reconstruction which he
seeks to affect by arms becomes daily mere
2alpably impossible. Not only do the
causes which induced is to separate still
last in tull force. but they have been
strengthened. and whatever doubt nav
have fingered in the minds of any must
have been completely dispe lied by subse-
quent events. If. instead of being disso-
luton of league. it were indeed rebel
lion in which we were engaged, we might
find ample vindication for the course we
have adopted in the scenes which are now
being enacted in the United States. Our
people now lock with contemptuous aston
ishment Oh those with whom they have
been so recently associated They shrink
with aversion from the bare idea Of renew
ing such connection, etc.
With such people. we may be con
tent 10 live at peace. but our separation il
final, and. for the independence We have
asserted, we viii accept no alternative
He concludes as follows While the
war, which is waged to take from us TIE
rights of self government. can never attain
that end, it remains TO be seen how far it
may work revolution in the industrial svs-
TEN of the world, which may carry suffer
ing to other lands as well as our own. In
the meantime. we shall continue this
struggle in humble dependence upon
Providence, from whose searching scruti
ny we cannot conceal the secrets Of our
hearts and to whose rnle we confidently
submit our des,inies. For tie rest we
shall depend upon ourselves Liberty is
always won where there exists the IN
conqueratle will TO be free; and we have
reason to know the strength that is given
by conscious sense not onlv Of the mag.
ni'ude but Of the righteousness of our
cause

Remarks of Gen. Cass.

We extract the following from the speech de-
livered by Gen. Oass on his reception at luis
home in Detroit, Michigan:
81 can scarcely persuade myself that am no,
oppressed by some fearful dream, when / reflect
upon all that is passing in our country, and up
on the position in which this great Republic is
placed suddenly struck from the summit of its
prosperity, and with future before it whicl,-n nc
man can contemplate without the most serious
alarm. In all history there is nothing like it,
with no external enemy to trouble us, with nc
internal oppression, with none of those vista
tons of pestlence or famine or other evils by
which nations are often punished tor their Of
fences, we have recklessly put to hazard our in
estmable blessings, and are entering that path
of discord and division, and border disputes
which, if there is any truth in history, must lead
to most disastrous consequences"
