iginal causes which prodnce the present emer6en-
ey, MARYLAND has had no shlre. Her people ever
were and now are Jealous in support OF the Con
stitution and Government which they were fore
most in forming and adopting. No threat of trea-
son has ever been whispered within her limits,
while the blessings and advantages of the Union
have ever been fully estimated and appreciated.
The loss of these advantages, it is felt, would be
utter ruin. In this ruin all the States would more
or less share; but geographical position would
make it to Us Immediate and total Separation is
impossible. But for the resistance to its Just and
legal authority the Government had given no
cause, and had the friends of the Constitutional
rights remained at these posts Congress, the
power of the Government to transgress its author
ity could have been effectualy thwarted.
Theeadcrs Of the rebellion were actuated by an
unhoIy thirst for official power. The fact is ev-
inced in the elevation TO place of who have desc
created official position and pletted treason. They
may "a well strike at the hoavens with their arms
as against the American Union. Defeat was GER
tain to rebellion. Tn Free States, according io
the last census have 3,775 900 males between the
ages oils and o6- The Slave States have ,665,

proportionate to that of men.

A G RIG ULTUR r AL.
Strawberry Culture.

A writer in the 1merican Farmer gives
few plain rules which he says, if followed
to the letter, will prove themselves good
rules. They are, lst. Never have the
beds so wide as to require the gatherer TO
lean on them. Cd. Never use animal ma
nure. 81. Keep the beds clear of weeds
and grass. find that any time from Au
gust to the blooming sea on will answer
for transplanting. The requisite is to
have the beds in good order. Lay them
off five feet wide, then spread evenly over
them good coating Of we'll rctted wood-
pile manure Of woods mould, which is TO
be deeply spread in. During a moist or
rainy spell set the plants in three rows and
from IL to "a inches apart in the row
never permit the runners 10 take entire
possession Of my beds, but keep them
back by pinching in the spring. and fall
sCeeding. By this treatment my beds are
pretty well covered without being matted.
After the fall wedding, the beds are sowed
over with wood ashes, and during the ear
ly winter, as there are opportunities, they
are covered over with wood-pile manure or
spent tan. During the early spring: when
the beds are covered with young green
leaves, they well busted with plaster
or shell lime, and when the blooms show
themselves, they are again sowed over
with ashes. These sowings are aiwoys
made in damp weather. This comprises
the fruit in perfection.

A Desperate Gang.

Through the politeness of Mr. Barton
the Mail Agent Of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad, we were last night furnish
ed with the particulars of the robberies Of
a regularly organized band, in the nei 5h-
boring State of Indiana, and othor items
of interest. which We here subjoin:
About one year ago the Trea~urer's Of
fee Of Martin county, Indiana. situated al
Dover Hill, was robbed during the night
Of considerable sum of money, II be-
came known shortly after that desperate
gang, in fact regular league of organized
ruffians, were located in that and the ad-
Joining counties of Davis, Green, Pike,
Gibson, Knox. &C., and strong efforts
were made to ferret them out and bring
them to justice. I.atteraly Home Guard
has been instituted at the town Of Dover
Hill, and couple of the members volun-
teered to discover the haunts of the mem
bers. Disguised as peddlers, they succeed
ed in discovering the location of portion
of the gang, and as draw they arranged
that the party should rob the house
Of gentleman residing in the town upon
a certain night of last waek, the prize be-
ing $3.50, which they asserted they knew
was upon the premises, and which was ac-
tually placed there as habit, it being de-
termiued to take the party with sufficient
force in the act.
Bui, through some mistake, the Home
Guard who were detailed for the capture
were behind time, and the robbery was
committed before they arrived on the spot,
when. preceiving the party retreating from
the premises, they fred, and only succeed
ed in wounding one Of their own men, who
had led the ruflians into the intended am
bush.
Last Friday night. emboldened by their
success, another big demonstration was
made upon the Treasurer's office, when
the safe was blown open by granpowder,
and $500 in money and some valuable
papers distracted But this time the
Guard were on the alert, and before the
gang could escape with the booty, they re.
ceived round of lead The result was
that, after desperate resistance, one was
killed, two wounded-one mortally y--and
nine in all taken prisoners.
Our informant adds that the band has
been ascertained to number upward of one
hundred sworn members, and the determ-
ination of cities Of the district is not to re-
lax until the members are exterminated or
taken prisoners.

BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE
BT WOLFE.

Not drum was heard, nor funeral note.
As his corse to the ramparts we hurried
Not soldier discharged his farewell shot
Der the grave where our hero buried.
We buried him darkly at dead of night,
The sods with our bayonets turning,
BY the noonbeam's pale and misty light,
And our lanterns dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Not in shroud nor in sheet we wound him,
Bat he lay like warrior taking his rest
With his martial cloak around him.
Few and short were the words of prayer we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
As we steadfastly gazed on the face of the dead
And bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought "a we hollow'd his narrow bed,
And smooth'd down his lonely pillow.
That the foe would be r.oting ever hi. head
And we far away on the billow.
But half OF our weary tlsk was done,
When the clock told the hour Cor retiring,
And we knew by the distant signal gun
That the foe was then sullenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we laid him down
From the field of his fame fresh and CORY;
We carved not a line and we raised not sto ne
But we left him alone in his glory.

Mr.. LINCOLN ON SECESSION and REvoLU
TIoN.-In the House of Representatives.
on the 10th of January. 1848. Hon. Abra-

from which the following extract is taken.

Congressional Globe for the first session
of the Thrtieth Congress. page "a.
ANY people, anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have The right to
rise up and shake off the existing Govern
ment, and form new one that suits them
better. This is most valuable. a most
sacred right-a right which. we hope AMI
believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is
this right confined to the cases in which
the whole people Of an existing Government
may choose to exercise it. Any portion
Of such people that can, may revolutlonize,
and make their oyn of so much of the ter
ritoritory rs they inhabit More than this,
mqioray Of any portion of such people
may revoutonize. putting down a ams;nOrity,
interningIed c,M or near about them, who
may oppose their movements Such min
ority was precisely the case of the tories
of our own revolution. 1t is a quality o
revolutions not to go by old lines or olo
laws, but to break up both and make new
ones.
