Encouraging Progress in agaryland.

BALTIMORE, Nov. A good many queer
things have taken place since my last letter,
and proceed to post the books. The institu-
tion OF negro slavery, which still drags out its
wretched existence in our state, in the persons
of l6 600 blacks and about S5 900 nigs, receiv-
ed blow a few days ago, from which it will
never recover. 1t was dealt in the Front
street Theater, by the hands of lifelong
democrat-old honest Frank Thomas, the
Hermit OF the Mountains for the last fifteen
years, whom God in His providence brought
out OF his retirement 10 do what nobody else
has done in Maryland. Aud lie dealt this
death-bl0w to the eXcrescence on our body
polite in the very place where, just one year
ago, a republican meeting, presided over by
Charles McIavish, a grandson of Charles
Carroll Of Carrollton, and Il large STAKEHOLDER,
and addressed by Edward Joy Morris and
French Strother Evans, was broken up by a
mob, mUst OF whom were present ON this occa-
sion to hear Gov Thomas great speech, and
applauded it TO the skies Verify, the world
continues to go round. A thousand pities that
this speech not reported. 1t rivals any
thing ever said in FaDeuil OF Exeter Hall,
against slavery. 1t was antislavery all over
and in its marrow bones. 1t is the beginning
of a movement that is destined at an early day
to abolish the hated and hateful institution in
this state. 1t took the bull right by the horns,
and gave his neck dslocating twist 1t is a
matter Of devout thanksgiving, that God has
vouchsafed to us IN anti slavery leader, in
the person OF the incorruptible Frank
Thomas, one OF the lights of ancient
democracy, and one who is not to be intim-
idated by the arrant cohorts of negro
slavery, or their shameless leaders l had
almost forgotten to say that the assembly
which Gov. Thomas addressed was presided
over by Samuel j. X. Handy, one of the
most eminent leaders of the Douglas democ
racy of last year. His opening speech was
in the very best vein. BY the by, l may
say to the roslavery sycophauts of the free
states that their faces would have tingled with
shame could they have heard Gov. Thomas
denounce African slavery, and the determine
ton of the shareholders to extend it over the
whole country, as the origin and object of the
rebellion. The whole speech was repete
with vindieation of free labor against slave
labor.

THE NAVAL EXPEDITION.

The announcement that the great naval ex
pedition had safely weathered the storm, and
landed its oops,-though still wanting con
frmaton-will remove weight of anxiety
from the heart of the nation. Till the storm
of last Saturday night commenced, the great
naval enterprises of the government were
signaly successful. If that Rubicon was also

the fleet TO its destination. Soon after the
storm was over, and the rebel government
was waiting with fearful anxiety the news
of the movements of The fleet the Richmond
Enquirer expressed its feeling as follows -
"But we are not without hopes. The winds
have been bowling and the clouds have been
pouring their floods. We confess 1.-THE
blast OF the storm has sounded in our ear like
the sweetest music Ii has made us think OF the
Spanish Armada, that sailed in great pomp on
grand design, ,butwas dispersed by the winds and
vanqushed without meeting an enemy. Who
knows but that stormy Hatteras was created
for such a time as this z" Somewhere on the
coast of South Carolina, between Charleston
harbur and the mouth Of the Savannah river,
there are probably fifteen thousand loyal and
rejoicing troops, who will soon answer that
question with the voice of their artillery. 1t
is needless TO speculate now upon the precise
point TO which the expedition has been aimed,
us The whole history of it will so soon be
known 10 the country. 1t is worth something
to have evidence that the immediate purpose
Of the expedition has been nobly achieved
and that the government of this iudestructible
republic has again footliold on the soil OF
South Carolina. Time, however, will be re-
qured to mature brilliant results. Many days
and even weeks may pass before the impatient
longing for retribution upon that traitorouS
commonwealth will be gratifed. But though
justice travels slow it never fails in the end.

allowed liberal area in frsnt of their quarters,
in which to exercise, walk, smoke, &C., &c
which they do not fail to improve. They
nearly all lake TO smoking and talk to something
like excess. One would judge at the first
glance, by their manners, that they are as
Jubilant as though at a summer watering
place; but closer observation disc oses that
at heart they feel their true position, and are
more or less unhappy. Gladly would they
turn their backs on tile fort

reach the fort, and those who can, by reason
OF their enlightenment, avail themselves OF
their contents. Time killing is chiefly con.

ness are devoted to repose, or what is supposed
to be such.
Secession talk is rampant among a portion,
at least, OF the prisoners. Those from
North Carolina say that they came into the
fort secessionists (rebcIs) and they will go out
such. In this declarat'o OH, besides an emphatic
manner, they use adjectiyes which we prefer
not to grace our columns with. They are as
rank in sentiment as is the vegetation of their
own deleciable swamps. Whatever else they
may or may not be mealy about, it is quite
certain that in declaring rebellion in GU. midst
they are out and out. They should have the

it is understood that the rebel government has
information, which is not given TO the public,
that the Yankee fleet were preparing to land
