LEsIsLkTIvR Caucus Yesterday q caucus Of
all the members OF the Msryland Legislature was
held In Frederick with closed doors, In reference
70 the federal relations Of the State.
The caucus was addressed for one hour and a
bali by the Hon. r. NJ. McLane, In relation to
the details OF the interview Of the commissioners
to w ashfngton with the President and Federal
cabinet He said he thought IL was the Intention
OF the Cabinet to subjugste the States by gradual
approaches Of troops TO sustain the Union men Of
Vir2 inia and Tennessee especially. and by whose
aid the Cabinet expected that the secessioniss of
those States would be overcome without blood
shed. The District Of Columbia and MARYLAND
would be necessarily occupied to some extent rs
rendezvous for troops and depot for munitions
OF war. Various inquiries were made Of the COM
missioners whether a regiment could not be
marched through Baltimore with the sssent of the
State, to which the mmissioners did not feel
auth orized to reply affirmatively =
Ii was remarked incidentally by Mr. McTane
that the troops which were prevented from reach
Ing Baltimore by the destruction Of the bridges
LEFT Philadelphia without orders, and would have
been therefore intruders, which the Government
admitted gave new aspect to the position they
ties
He (Mr. McLane) recommended that members
should unite without reference to their partizan
associations, and devote themselves exclusively
10 the preservation Of the peace and public safety
OF Maryland in the present crisis. He congratu-
lated Governor Hicks upon losing the con hdence
OF the Administration, and added that he (Hioks)
could not recover that confidence again.

WHAT SECESSION Is DorNs FOR ALEXANDRIA.
A considerable number Of the leading merchants
OF Alexandria have declined to renew their
licenses; or, In other words, have concluded to
abandon their business there. We hear, too, that
the well-known mixing louise Of Corse & Bro .
In that town, closed Its doors Yesterday IT lived
through all the bank troubles in this section &C.
curing Of late years, but died Of secession. As
IL paid interest on deposites, we fear that many
worthy persons may suffer severely by Its suspen-
sion Of payment. On Sunday nigh. last, seven
slaves escaped from Alexandria and two from
Alexandria county, and are bv this time probably
in Pennsylvania Virginia, in her ordinance Of
secession, formally released Pennsylvania from
her late obligation to return fugitive slaves. So
the owners OF these nine NAV thank secession for
tleir loss, beyond peradventure.
