said, care some flowers sent by master TO ma

THE SUBJUGATIoN OF MARYLAND AND KENTUCKY.
MARYLAND is still in the Union, and within very
few days from the presence OF an overpowerlng
force inside of her borders and every side of her
disorderlv commercial capital, we hope for a reac-
tion against the miserable mob of rufiians which
has usurped the control OF the State. She must
stand by the Union as good child, or she will be
soundly thrashed into submission as bad one.
This is as true as that the will rise tomorrow
morning; and we apprehend that this alternative
of repentance or a terrible punishment will apply
to all the seeded States.
Virginia next to Maryland will be subjected to
this test. She has seeded, and hence she will pro-
badly risk the breaking of every bone in her BODY.
If so, fear that every bone in her body will be
broken, including her backbone of slavery.
THE POSITION OF KENTUCKY
We publish to-day an interesting report of a
meeting recently held in Louisville. to decide on
the ground to be occupied by the State of Ken

sion come to was that Kentucky shall remain neu-
tral while the government is putting down rebel
hon. This is all very we'll to say, but it won't 90.

THE DESIGN UPON WASHINGTON.

trying to corrupt the pilots the Potomac by of
iers of money and position in order to secure their
services in plotting vessels with secession troops
landing near Fort Washington the Mary land

and, as their plan is known, they will be closely
watched.

trements, and several hundred bushels of feed and

New Jersey as "a Mediator.

The Richmond Wing publishes letter
from Lieut. N. F. Maury, addressed to VIM
II. Macfarland, Esq, in which be states that
New Jersey proposes to act as mediator be
tween the North and the South. As far as
he understands her plan, he gives the out
lines as follows: "She is to send commits
sioner to the conventions of Alabama and
Mississippi, ETC., to ask of the sovereignties
there assembled, for statement of the terms
and conditions upon which they will be con
tent to remain in the Union. Having thu:
obtained from the people Of the South, act
ing those of each State in their sovereign
capacity, their ultimatum, she is to bring il
before her sister States Of the North for their
action, with the request that those who arc
willing to accede to it win instruct their Sen.
atOrs and request their Representatives to GO
for an act, Incorporating the terms of it as
amendments to the Constitution, to be thence
referred, according to its provisions, back to
the States for ratification"
Lieut. Maury adds
Thus our friends at the North win have
something tangible to 60 upon, and some
thing around which the solid men, the quiet
men, Of the country, both North and South,
East and West may rally.
Having thus fairly ascertained directly
from the people of the South what will salts
fy them in this Union, it viii remain for those
of the North to acccde to it, and save the
Union, or to refuse it, and so break up the
Union. But there is no fear Of any such al
tentative; for the people Of the South are
not going to require anything that the North
should not rightly yield. The South does
not want the North 10 do anything that is
inconsistent with either Northern honor,
true dignity or proP1ety.

Ye sons Of the South, awake to glory

Prevent their tears. and save their cries.

With sectional hosts rufiian band,

March on! march on! all hearts resolved
On victory or death!
Nov, now, the dangerous storm is rolling,
which trcacherous men confederate raise.
The dogs of faction loose, are howling-
% And 10 our homes would soon invade.
And shall we bascly view the ruin,
While lawless force with guilty stride,
Spreads desolation far and wide,
With crimes and blood his hands imbruing?
To arms to arms &c.
Oh, liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous fame?
Can dungeons, bolts and bars confine thee,
Or threats thy noble spirit tamer
Too long the South has borne, bewailing,
Thxt faisehood's dagger Northcrns WELD
But freedom is our sword and shield,
Aud all their arts are unavailng
