Major Anderson's vindioations is saiisfac-

GOOD NEWS FROM BALI LTIMORE.
SECESSION DEFUNCT
UNION MEN REJOICING.

|. BALTIMORE, April Secession may be
considered as dsfunct in this city. The Union
sentiment is again triumphant, and but few
men are willing to announce themselves to-
day as seeessionists. One weeks exper. ence
of the deadly contagion has overwhelmed the
conspifators. and the Union feeling is now
stronger and deeper than ever. The day Of
reckoning has come, and those who last week
sustained by the police disgraced our city,
almost shrink from public gaze. The re-
action has been overwhelming in all parts of
the State, and we are prepared to meet the
issue at the balloi-bex. Sad as were the do
ings ofthe past ten days, they have forever
settled the question of ofsscession in Maryland.
On Wednesday our Custom House, which
has been the den in which much of this trea-
son has been Matched, will be cleared of its
traitors. and the new appointees will take
their places. The United States flag will be
Immediately hoisted, over the Custom House,
and responded to throughout the city, des-
pite the prohibition OF orr dictators. The
boys are selling miniture Union flags in the
streets, and the Secession flag has disappear

our terrible wrongs.

An Army of Mechanics.

1t is not the only function of soldier 10
fght. The musket and bayonet are but tive
OF the weapons in his armory. The spade
aad mattook are as appropriate as these in
his outft, and the success of large military
enterprises may depend more upon his read,
mess 10 use, and his expertness in handling
them than upon even his dash or his d;sei-
pline in the actual conflict. He must be
ready for sudden emergency; deprivatien
mast not surprise him. At the camp fire, in

up and transports destroyed, with supplies

to sew, to wash, to mend, to hammer the an
Yil and drive the spike.
A brief sentence in some Of our late dis
patches from the seat Of war gives hint of
the useful warlike accomplishments of the
Massachusetts, military. There acre black
smiths among them, and the fact bafaed the
traitorous scheme of the Maryland secession
isss, who had thought, by destruction Of the
railroad track, to impede their march to the
metropolis. The trained skill Of our hardy
New England mechanics was more than a
match for the strategy of the pistol firing e
ruaians who besst them. Their comrades
were ready in the streets of Baltimore with
the musket, when their officers ordered, and
thefs were sqally ready on the roads of An
napolis with the sledge-hammer when their
further progress required it. The fact, with
what it suggests, indicates kind of eficisn.
cy in northern troops which ia likely to be of
insstimabls value The regiments, which
the eastern and the middle states are send
iag to the battle field are, within themselves,
communities full Of individual resource and
inexhaustable adaptability to circumstances.
Give them leather and they will shoe the
army give them needles and they will clothe
il; give them tools and they will arm it /;
give them spades and they will dig impreg-
nable intrencbments about it; break down
the bridges over navigable streams, and
thsir sinswy arms will propel extemporane'
GUS RATS by the oar, or handle the sail and
steer the helm till they reach the desired
psint; give them standing room on the field
Of contest and their Grm nerves and quick
ssss Of glance makes every bullet fatal. The
southern troops have no such qualities. They
are helpless most of them, as children; they
are without mechanical skill; without cen
troll of their whims. their passions or their
sprstites without the habit of self-indeIens
dence. Of eight hundred soldiers who went
to the Mexican war in the Palmettg regiment
snd nine hundred who went in the Georgia
Tsgimsnt, only about one hundred and eighty
returned alive; and army surgeons say that
fewer died in battle than were worn out by
sslf.indulgence or by self-neglect. The black
republic Of the South must get our men, as
well as our arms and our money, if they want
80 succeed in this war.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Curtin Guards.

The Curtin Guards.
The following notice
of the Curtin Guards We find in the Harris

Parsons Of the many brave and gallant men
who have so promptly responded to their
country's call, yet we feel that the Curtin
Guards, Captain John Fl. Slower, deserve, at
least passing notice at our hands. The
formation of this company was effected un-
der peculiar circumstances. Captain Stover,
who is editor of the Beliefonte Press and the
present District Attorney fer Centre County,
arose from severe illness, and marched to
Harrisburg, as private in the Belefonte
Fencbles, but was subsequently rejected on
account of insufficient health, and declared
totally incapaci:ated fer duty. Noswitb-
starding, be announced his determination to
follow close In their wake and although
they now marched without him, he would
meet them where the battle ragged the fsrcest
and the foes fell the fastest. He has en-
deavored to keep his word. and, we doubt
not, will soon realize his sanguine expecta-
tions. Going immediately to his home for a
number Of picked msn, he soon returned
with them to the camp, and joining them
with the excess of the Bellefonte Fencibles.

John A Rodgers, Second Lieutenant of

dately resigned his Office and Joined tn g

been elected First Lieutenant, and has al
ready proven valuable acquisition. When
this company came to be sworn in, there
we're found to be ninety-thrse men, seven

their rejection. A number of them, how

We have been told that
while the ceremonies were being performed,
previous to the departure of the Eagle

flew over the place, and as sign of his ap-
probation, lowered for moment over the

An Omen, Certainly.

On last Monday night
at 9 O'Clock, beautiful meteor broke forth
and shot across the starry regions toward
the South. 1t was, indeed, magnificent
sight. Inasmuch as this fiery visitor came
from the North and made his way directly
toward the South, cannot some of our wise
acres construe it into an omen favorable to
the North and unfavorable to the South?

The Fencibles.

Il 1C Il LO11OlO1SDs
Some months ago the editor
of the Lock Haven Watchmda took occasion
to print some hard things about the Belle
fonte Fencibles. Among other things be
sneer Hgly called them 'silk stocking SOL
diers." During the last few weeks this com-
pany has proved to satisfaction of all men,
that the name given it by Dunham would in
no way apply to any of its members. 1T a
public meeting held in the Court House for
members of the company, about ftrty 10
number, were present, the original roll was
produced with the re mark that as the
names were called, these of the members
who were willing to serve their country
should answer by stepping up and signing
their names TO the eurollment paper. The
roll was called and every member Of the Fen
cibles signed his name to that paper, and
when the time came to march they all went.
Against the Lock Haven Military we have
not one word to say. for we believe every
man to be brave until be proves himself a
coward. But this much we do say. if they
did as nobly on similar occasion, as did the
Fensibles on this, they are credit to their
town and an honor to their country. And
to this Lock Haven editor we desire to say,
that if he should get into trouble during the
continuance of this war he would be perfectly
safe in throwing himself under the care of the
Fencibles. They would take care of you,
Mr.. Durham, notwithstanding your vile ats
tack upon them.

All Excitement.

Since the moment that the

Sumpter, our town has been in constant ex-
element. Oar people are ever on the alert
for news, and when telsgraphic despatch
reaches the office, it IS heralded over town
in very short time. And when the mails
arrive there is s general rush for the Pest
Oface for the news and every man who gets
a daily paper Is bored for the news until hs
is obliged to station himself and read aloud
to the crowd. such is the anxiety to hear of
the transpiring events. This excitement
has disqualified everybody for business. and
consequently little has been done. Every
one appears to be preparing fer any emer-
gency that may arise. Enlisting, drilling.
drumming making frgs, cleaning old muskes"
and talking war; is about all that is being
done Even on Sunday conversation runs
freely on the great topic Sermons are de-
livered which have reference to war beft-
ing hymns are sung, and one of the most
exemplary christians in our commit entity, said
to as, the ether Gay, that wbeo he attempts
to pray bis mind is constantly filed With
bayonets, swords &c. We read nothing but
war talk nothing but var write nothing
but war and print nothing but war. There
threatens to be general stasnation in bu-
siness. Those OF orr merchants who have
purchased their Spring goods, regret having
brought so large stock, and those who have
no, yet purchased intend to bring up but a
small supply. Some our leading business
men talk seriously Of closing up their estab-
lishmenta and suspending business operations
for the present Should this war continue
we may expect dull times.

rape and murder have often run riot through

history Of civilized countries does not afford 9
solitary parallel 10 the conduct of the Yankees
in proclaiming in advance Beauty and
Booty" rs their deliberately selected mode o:
carrying on war.
When we pronounce the wretches who are
capable Of such crimes as those committed III
Maryland and upon the Virginia border, baser
and more degraded than the Sepoys' we dc
not give utterance simply TO the honest indig
nation that must swell every human heart, but
proclaim a literal fact, entirely free from ex
aggeration, and ~ capable of demonstration
as any proposition in EUCLID. The Sepoys
are heather and barbarians; these people moi
only profess to be a Christian nation, but the
cream of Christendom, thanking Con that
they are not as other men, and holding i'm.
inease Fulton street prayer meetings--duiy re-
ported in the New York Herald--for the con.

hypocrisy and wiekedness defy the face 81
