Suppose the President issues prociama~
ton commanding all intercourse with the
seeded States TO be cut off How will Ken
lucky stand Will she obey, or will she
refuse. as she did when be called for volun-
teers2 IF she refused to obey, would she
expect to have Notwithstanding di-
rected to her towns, but in reality destined
for the Confederate States-pass with i'm
punity? If it is the intention of a MAORI
ty of her people TO assume this unmanly po-
sition, why is there so much talk of arming
the State? Their arms, it is stated, are to
prevent an invasion of her territory. Can
the neutrality men give any security that
they will not be turned against the Govern
ment?
1t is not to be denied that hen such men
as John Bell turn disunionists, the loyal
States can't place much faith in profess
sions of attachment to the Constitution,
where every act is slowly condemning its
authority and subvertIng its provisions
The act of Virginia has demonstrated how
much dependence can be placed in mere
professions. John A. Murrell preached
that he might the better rob, and Virginia
seems TO have copied from his example We
trust we may never have to say that Ken
lucky did as bad or worse than either.

BEE@ Our dispatches this morning indi-
cate that the Union sentiment in Maryland
is gaining ground A reaction seems to
have set in and the stars and stripes are
being unfurled in various portions of the
State and even in Baltimore. Many of the
northern papers have severely condemned
Mr.. Lincoln for not marching troops
through Baltimore if he had to level the
city with the ground in order to do so.
If the Union men once more gain the
ascendancy in Maryland, posterity will
cheerfully accord superior judgment to
Mr. Lincoln for his forbearance. Balti-
more is a beautiful city, notwithstand-
ing the Roughs," who seem to have OBJ
tanned control, and it would be terrible to
be compelled to lombard it, causing the in
nocent to suffer equally with the guilty. =
The defense of Washington is all that Mr..
Lincoln marches troops through Baltimore
for. If he can accomplish this end by 60
ing through Annapolis, aud there was any
appearance of a reaction in the public mind,
he acted wisely in choosing the Annapolis
route.

Notwithstanding the rain, quite crowd
assembled in Fourth Street Market on Sat
urday morning to consult in regard to the
action that ought to be taken by the City
Council in the present perilous times. We
should judge there were $50 or 200 persons
present. Robert Barnes was called to the
Chair, and John T. Glover appointed Sec
rotary. A motion was then adopted, in
structing the Council to appropriate IS, 1000
for the purchase of arms with which to de-
fend the city. 1t was afterwards recon-
mended that the Council appropriate any
sum over that amount which may be need
ed to place our city on war footing
Speeches were called for, and made, by
Councilmen Muentzer and Miller, who said
to do anything that was right and proper in
the matter. Mr. Muentzer thought the
Council had been treated a little unfairly
by having the impression circulated that it
had done nothing, when the truth was it
had made an appropriation for the purchase
of powder and lead, and he rather calcula-
ted the guns ordered by tue County Com
missioners, would be of little value without
powder and lead.
The meeting adjourned, fully confident
that the Council in the evening would
cheerfully appropriate the amount recon-
mended.

BEzy" Our telegraph failed on Saturday
night. These exciting times render fail
ure of the line to work, if it be for only
one evening, extremely annoying. Every
body imagines that Washington might be
taken and they not know it until day or
two after it happened. The line will be
made all right to-day. Our telegraph
friends, Robinson and Knox, have been get
ting excellent dispatches of late, but occa-
sionally the elements will get the upper
hand of them.

CANNoN.-The workmen at the E. & c.
r. R. shop, on their own responsibility, are
making a wrought-iron rifed cannon of
about six pound calibre, for the public de-
Tense. Messrs Kratz & Heilman's workmen
are making an eight-pounder of wrought
iron. The work on these pieces is very
heavy, and the cannon when completed will
be powerful and durable. They are made
of bar iron crossed in such manner that,
when welded, it will be next to impossible
to burst them. The last named piece will
carry some three miles-perhaps both will.

BsS~By referring to the Council proceed
ings in another place, it will be seen that
our city fathers! made generous provision
for the defence of the city, Saturday night,
by appropriating 900 for the purchase of
arms. This, with the SIS, 600 appropriated
by the County Commssioners--if it can be
appied-will place our county on a war
footing. The citizen soldiers already en-
rolled and nightly drilled will have both
the disposition and the ability to use the
arms thus provided them in a way that viii
prove quite distaste full to any invading force.
