MISUNDERSTANDING.

In the LEGISLATURE of Maryland. on the
9Th inst Mr.. Wallis made an able report up
ON the memorials of the Police Commission
ers of Baltimore, accompanied by q pream-
Bile and resolutions condemnstory of the acts
of LincoIn's Administration in incarcarating
.he Commissioners. The two resolutions we
copy:
Resofred, By The General assembly Of Nary
land, T6at we solemnly protest in the name
of the State and her people. against the pro-
ceedings aforesaid in all their parts, pro-
nouncing the same. SO far as they Affect ihdi-
viduaIs, the gross and unconstitutional ABUSE
of power which nothing can palliate or e2-
cuse, and in their bearing upon the authofl-
ty and constitutional powers ana privileges
of the State herself; revolutionary SUD-
version of the Federal compact.
Resolued. That we appeal, IN the most ear
nest manner. to the whole people of the
country. of all parties. sections and opinions,
to take warning by the usurpations afore-
mentioned. and come to the rescue OF the
free institutions of the country, so that
whatever may be the issue of the melancholy
conflict which is now covering the land with
sacrifice and sorrow, and threatens to over
whelm it with debt and ruin, there may, at
least survive to US, when it is over, the Re
publican form OF Government which our
fathers bequeathed to US, and the inestimable
rights which they framed it to perpetuate.
The scene which accompanied the reading
of the report was in the highest degree af-
fecting. The resolutions passed with only
seven dissenting voices.

II. A. r.. Nelson. of Tennessee.

This gentleman, who was arrested in Lee
county, while making his way to Washing
ton, was brought to this city Saturday. We
are not aware what disposition is TO be made
of him. If regarded as prisoner of war. he
will be held till exchanged; if as traitor, he
will be inflicted and prosecuted according to
law; for the great safeguard of personal and
political freedom, the habeas corpus is in full
force in these States of the South.
Unless his arrest shall enure to his own
good, by causing him to reflect on the folly
and wickedness of exciting civil war at his
own door and among his own neighbors, we
think it is to be regretted that he was cap
tured. Better to have let him fly his country
aud join those whom be loves. At Washing.
ton, he would be powerless for mischief; he
would be preyins upon the enemy, exhaust
ing his resources, and rendering him service
OF no value whatever. On our hands be will
be an encumbrance and a nuisance. We
don't desire to deprive him either of life or
liberty; but if he persists in his malice and
treason, there is no alternative but to strip
him of the power of mischief. 1t would be
fortunate for all, if. convinced of his error, he
would pledge himself to respect the sovereign
authority of this Government, accept its mer-
oy, and go home and stay there in peace and
quiet
We write in ignorance of the extent of Mr..
Nelson's offence against the sovereign author
ity of the Commonwealth of Tennessee and
OF the Confederate States. We hear general
ly that his conduct has been rebellious and
defiant, and unworthy of patriot. But We
also hear that be has been a man OF fair re-
pute in the past, and one who Is likely to re-
spect his word when pledged. If he win give
that word, let him GO; if not, and bis treason
is overt and incontestible, hang him; if doubt
full, send him with Q flag of truce, and make

The Last Northern Romance,

We find the following budget of lies copied
into the Cincinnati Gazette. By such means
do the Northern press attempt to fire the
fanaticism of the North
RAfairs in Memphis, Tennessee.
Mr.. John NJ. Collins, of Virginia, son of the
celebrated Methodist preacher, Rev. John A
Collins, has given the following narrative of
his experience il the South to the Washing
ton Star:
Mr.. Collins arrived at Memphis, Tenn. on
the 26th day of March, and soon got into col
lision with Sesech, through the expression of
his Union sentiments, which on the 24th OF
April, was brought to crisis by little
'scrimmage' he had at dinner table with "a
South CarOlinian, who denounced Gen. Scott
and all Virginians as traitors to the South.
Mr.. Collins was promptly waited on by
Vigilance Committee, and he was at once
imprisoned in most noiSome underground
dungeon. From this foul cell be managed to
escape by the help of some friends, and after
some hard experience finally reached q more
hospitable region.
Amonst other instances of the atrocities
committed upon people simply for the avowal
OF Union sentiments, the following surpasses
in devilish barbarity anything recorded of
Hayuau and his band:
An accomplished young woman, named
Anna Giernstein, a native of Maine, who had
been engaged in school teaching near Mem
phis, was informed she was an object of sus-
picion to the Secessionists and was advised TO
leave. On the 18th Of May she left Memphis
for Cairo.
In the cars she found three Northern men,
named Tomlinson, Duffy and McGregor also
en- route to Cairo, aud said to them, THANK
God, We shall soon be in a land where there
is freedom of speech and thOughti'' The
remark was heard by fellow named Fir
man, who Immediately enquired to see her
ticket and those of her fellow passengers
Finding they were all destined to Free States,
he at once caused their seizure by the vigil
lance committee. These gentlemen were
then stripped naked aud whipped, the strokes
being administered by a negro with knout
some twenty-four feet in length, each stroke
of which cuts the FISH in stripes an inch-in
width. Miss Giernstein, who had expressed
some natural indignation at these inhuman
barbarities, was then seized by the brute who
conducted the whipping arrangements, one
John Dnvall, "a native of Cleveland, OhioD
who requested her to unfasten the upper part
of her dress. She Indignantly refused, when
Duyail said he would do it himself, and, by
laying hands upon her, tore her dress way
down TO the waist. Her feet were then tied
with straps, and person named Thomas Nc
Eiroy formerly of Syracuse, N. W held her
by the arms while Duvail administered thir-
teen stripes to her bare back While sub
hitting TO this ordeal, the brave girl did not
crafty her prosecutors by single cry or tear,
but Mr.. Collins noticed blood upon her lips,
indicating that she had bitten them throu Oh
in suppressing any outward indication OF her
agony. The right side of her head was then
shaved, and, thus SCARED and disfgured, she
was permitted to resume her journey towards
civilization.

The Latest from the Il anayyha River
Position of Our Troops ~ here
aboufs of Wise. &c.

Commissary Gibbs, and others of our
troops. arrived yesterday, direct from the
Federal camp near Gauiey River, Virginia,
and from them we learn several interesting
items in relation to the whereabouts OF Wise
and his rebel army, and the present position
of the Federal forces on the kanawha River.
Three companies of the Twelfth Regiment
are at Charleston, under Colonel Lowe; the
remaining seven companies of the Twelfth
are near Csnnelton, tbirty-five miles from
Charleston. The First Kentucky Regiment
is in their advance, between the road and the
river. The Eleventh Regiment is encamped
along Gauley river, above the bridge, re-
Gently destroyed by Wise, Gen. Gox's head
quarters being in the rear of the Eleventh
Regiment
On the side of high mountain back from
Gauley and the Kanawha river, on a fine To-
cation. the Second Kentucky have pitched
their tents, with one cavalry and two artil-
lery companies At SOnerville, thirty miles
up the Gauley river, Colonel Tyler is en-
csmped with the Seventh, and the greater
portion of two other regiments.
When Wise retreated from Charleston up
through Madden, Shrewsbury and Cannelton,
to Gauley Bridge, he had force of 300
men, 1000 being volunteers from the Kanaw-
ha region, who claim that they enlisted for
the defense and protection of that part of
The State from invasion by the Federal troops.
When Wise had crossed the Gauley Bridge
and then yet fire to it, these Kanawha volun-
teers refused to proceed further, and in body
deserted and returned back to their homes
Wise with the remainder, seventeen hundred,
proceeded on to Lewisburg, near which place
bis small army are now encamped.
Wise and his staff are at White SULPHUR
Spring, few miles from Lewisburg, rusti-
eating. This information of the whereabouts
of Wise and his troops was obtained by Major
Hines and his scouting party, whe followed
ND the road to Sewall's Mountain, twenty five
miles from Gauley Bridge. II is also be
lieved that Gen. Lee is at Stanton with q
force of four or five thousand men, with in
tentions of reinforcing Gen. Wise. At Gau-
ley river, where the bridge was formerly, the
Federal forces have built boat and rugged
a cOntrivance by which the boat is taken
across the river and back. The boat will
carry two hundred men each time. Our
troops are in good health and fine spirits,
and are eager for fight,
On Friday morning the Twenty Sixth re-
gimeat, Col. Fyfie, left Charleston for Park

Col. Moor, left Point Pleasant, also for Park

TfOus Victory.
the first splendid result of the presence
OF the Federal Army at Cairo, under the
command of the illustrious Gen. B. NJ. PREM
TIss is thus detailed by the special cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Gazette, of Monday:
about o'clock Thurday night, the town
was thrown into the widest excitement by
the rapid thuEderings of the big guns at the
fort;
Everybody was awake and up in less than
no time, thinking. of course, that Pillow and
his angelic crew were upon us. The night
was pitch dark, and one went stumh!ing
about In all sorts of proximity to ones
neighbors.
The guns kept blazing away, and nobody
outside the guard lines could get information
of the object of the shooting. 1t came to be
understood, however, at length, that two fiat
boats were trying to run the blockade. The
firing seemed to have no effect on them, for
they kept steadily on, and very soon got be-
yond reach of the shots. The 3D., was then
fired up. pushing out, overlook them some
three miles down the river. The boats were
found to contain lime and hoop poles, and
without crew or steersmen, were floating on
toward the land of Dixie.
They have been lying for two OF three
weeks back just above town, in the Ohio,
and their owner, thinking in the darkness of
the night to escape the vigilance of the look
out, had hoped to get them safe through to
some Southern market.
And the best of the joke is that the boats
are known to be the property of certain

Judge Wayne.

1t is said that Judge Wayne. of the United
States Supreme Court, though citizen OF
Georgia, is now in Washington for the pur-
pose of taking his accustomed seat upon the
bench. In the general bankruptcy OF char
acter with which so many OF the foremost
men of that State have allowed themselves
to be carried away by the secession mania,
the firmness of this distinguished jurist is
more admirable. All honor to Judge
Wayne!
This compliment to the Judge is from
Greeley's New York Tribune of the 9Th Au-
gust Perhaps he is proud OF it-though not
knowing, we can't say.
1t is significant fact that Justice Wayne,
of the United States Supreme Court, who is
a citizen OF Georgia, and who has so many
years illustrated. by his decisions on the
bench, the legal wisdom of Marshal and 9th
ct great lights of the law, adhered to the
Government and the Constitution He is
now in the city for the purpose of taking his
seat upon the bench. The loyalty of this
pureminded and deservedly distinguished
Judge is a living rebuke to the small souled
political tricksters whose mad ambition have
brought upon us the horrors of civil war
~. T. Herald, 4h August.
The Herald and Tribune are informed that
Judge Wayne is not a citizen of Georgia. He
once was; but his residence has been in
Washington for number of years past, and
he has not even been in his native State for
a great while. Georgia does not claim him,
and he is no more of US.
Two years ago Judge Wayne invited to
his house, at the feasts and parties which he
gave, VIM. ii. Seward and others of like
stamp, and entertained them as his most
hOnored guests. To us, and others who know
this, his present course is not surprising

SUICIDE IN CINCINNATL-On Saturday
Ga, a guest at the Burnet House, Cincinnati,
committed suicide in his room. Having first
removed the mattress and stats, he placed his
bedstead on end, and hung himself with
strap to the head rail. The Commercial says
note was found on the table addressed to
the brother of the deceased, asking him to
take care Of his wife and daughter
From the testimony before the Coroner it
appears that he had formerly been in the en-
ploy of the Adams Express Co, but recently
he has been engaged in travelling to and
from both sections of the country as the es-
cort to ladies and children going from the
North to the South, and Uice versa. In this
manner he has made six trips, always while
in Cincinnati stopping at the Burnet House.
Last Wednesday he arrived, having under
his protection three ladiee and three boys
with whom be was returning to Savannah,
Ca. his late place of residence, and where
his wife and daughter now live. 1t seems
that the attention of Collector Carson was
called 10 0lLU, duu WSlC
but nothing of a contraband character was
found therein.
On Thursday morning the party started for
the Louisville mailboat, but in short time
Spooner returned, alleging that he was ill
and unable to endure the fatigue incident to
a further journey.
After his return to the Burnet House he
sent fer physician, who found him in deli
cate health.
In his trunk was variety OF articles such
as tri ,shawls, and little articles,
bought for numbers of persons.
He also had S1l7 in gold. Among his pa
pers were two notes from the Secretary of the
British Legation, indicating that the deceas-
ed was bearer of dispatches. No cause is
assigned for the rash act.

The following is a verbal report taken
from the special messenger who brought the
dispatches to Gen. Fremont.
Eirly on Saturday morning Gen. Lyon
marched out OF Springfield to give the enemy
battle. He came up To him on Davis creek.
in Green's Prairie, few miles southeast of
Springfield, where be bad taken a strong po-
sition on rolling ground.
At twenty minutes past six O'Clock in the
morning, Gen. Lyon fred the first gun, when
the battle Immediately began. Severe can
nonading was kept up for two or three hours,
when the fire of Captain Totten's artillery
proving too severe for the enemy, they gra-
dually fell back towards their encampment
on Wilson's creek.
Gen. Lyons cavalry posted in the enemy's
lett flank, and Gen. Seigel's artillery on the
right; then began a terrific attack and spread
slaughter and dismay in the ranks of the
enemy, pursuing them to their camp, the
shells from Letters artillery setting fire to
their tents and baggage wagons, which were
all destroyed. The Louisiana and Missis-
sippi regiments seemed to have suffered the
most in the fight and were almost annhi-
lated.
Sometime in the afternoon. as Gen. Lyon
was leading on his column, his horse was
shot from under him. He Immediately
mounted another, and as he turned around
to his men, waving his hat in his hand, and
cheering them on to victory, he was struck
in the small of the back by ball, and fell
dead to the ground. The command then de-
volved upon Gen. Sigel.
The pursuit continued until after nightfall,
when our little army rested for the night in
the encampment of the enemy. On Sunday
morning. General Seigel, fearing the enemy
might recover and attempt to cut his CON-
mand off from Springfield, fell back upon the
city, where the Home Guards were stationed.
Reaching Springfield, and fearing the great
numbers of the enemy might induce them to
get between him and RoIla, Gen. SiegeI con-
cluded to fall hack upon Rolla. with his pro-
visions trains, and meet the reinforcements
which were on the way to him.
AT the latest moment of the departure of
the messenger, the enemy had not been seen,
and 1t is probable Gen. Seigel had not been
disturbed in his march. Ninety of the rebels
were captured, among them Colonel of dis
tlnction, the messenger not remembering his
name.
The sword and horse Of Gen. Mccullough
were among the trophies.
Reinforcements are on the way from Rolla.
and Gen. Seigel and his army may be consi-
dered safe.
In consequence of recent special trains on
the southwest branch, and extensive prepare
tons here for sending reinforcements to Gen
Seigel. no trains came from Rolla tonight,
hence nothing further has been received from
Spring lield.
