The MARITAL FEELING IN MASSACHUSETTS, -
Col. Isaac Wright, Democrat, who has just
been removed from the Superintendency of
the Springfield (Mass.) armory, was at last
accounts making arrangements for the Or
ganization of regiment of volunteers. Young
men, it is said, are pushing forward, and Of
fering premiums for chances in some favorite
corps. In fact, everywhere, throughout the
old Bay State, the military spirit seems to be
worked up to the highest pitch.

We believed that the South had been
grossly wronged in the election of Mr. Lin
coin upon the Chicago platform His cleo
tion was n deliberate insult to the people Of
one-half of the Union. 1t was worse-it vas
an overt act of treason against the Govern
ment, because it was the will of the majority,
deliberately declared, that the Constitutional
rights of one section of the Union were to be
invaded and destroyed. 1t was equivalent
to a revolution against the Government, and
the overthrow of the Constitution.-EEpr

A PLAIN PRorosITIoN-T Express says
the Government is broken up-that the
Union is dissolved. Now no National Con-
vcnton has dissolved The Union. If dissolu-
ton is an accomplished fact, it has been
brought about by "separate State action" or.
as it is generally called, State secession. The
right of secession exists, or it does not. If it
does seven or more States are really out Of
the Union. If the right does not exist,
thirty four States still compose the Union, and
no dissolution has taken place, but simply
rebellion in some States The Express says
Disunion has taken place. The Express has
therefore proclaimed itself a secession journal

CUMBERLAND, June 25.
To Gen. Mcclellan: have been accustom-
ed to sending my mounted pickets, IL men in
all, to different posts along the several APP
proaches to Cumberland. Finding it next to
impossible TO get reliable information of the
enemy, yesterday united the thirteen, and di.
rected them, if possible, to go to Frankfort,
town midway between this place and Romney,
to see if there were rebels there. They went
within quarter of mile OF the place,
and found it full of cavalry. Returning they
overlook forty horsemen, and at once charged
on them and drove them back more than mile
and killing eight of them and securing seven
teen horses. Corporal Hayes in command of
my men, vas desperately wounded with sabre
cuts and bullets. Taxing him back they halted
about an hour and were then attacked by the
enemy who were reinforced to about seventy
FIVE men. The attack was sudden that
they abandoned the horses and then crossed
to small island at the mouth of Patterson
Creek. The charge of the rebels was bold
and confident, yet 20 fell under the fire OF my
pickets close about and on the island. My
fellows were finally driven off, scattering each
man for himself, and they are all in camp low.
One, Corporal Hayes of Company A, was
wounded, but is recovering. John G. Hald-
dingbrook, of Company b, is dead. The last
was taken prisoner and brutally murdered
Three companies went to the ground this
morning and recovered everything belonging
to my picket except a few of the horses The
enemy were engaged all night long in boxing
up their dead. Two of their officers were
killed. They laid out twenty three within
the porch of a neighboring farm house.

positive information gained to-day, that there
are four regiments of rebels in and about
Romney, under Col. Mcdonald. What their
particular object is | cannot learn. The two
Pennsylvania regiments are in encampment at
the state line, nine miles from here, awaiting
further orders They have not reported TO
me. They hesitate about invading Maryland.
The report Of the skirmish sounds like fiction,
but it is not exaggerated. The fight was really
one of the most desperate on record, and
abounds with instances of wonderful daring
