Need it be wondered then that Marylanders are
fleeing the State, the homes of their childbood
disrupting every association hallowed from child

rugged path of life, and need it be wondered that
an awful retribution awaits those vandals Of the

In the morning. They came from Vermont and
were on their way to Morris, where the woman has
husband residing. During the night the landlord
was aroused by the smashing of glass in the apart
ment where the woman slept, and upon going to the

STEAMBOAT DISASTER AT Rock ISLAND HLLN
| BRIDGE.-One of the most shocking marine acci-
dents which ever occurred here took place about
hVe o clock yesterday afternoon, Thursday the OH
| instant. The fine side wheel steamer G,ay EaoIe
| Captain d. Smith Harris, on her down trIp in
passing the bridge, struck the pier on the Illinois
side o the draw, just forward OF her wheel-house
| stove the boat, and sunk her TO her texas almost
| instantly. The river was hsled with pieces Of the
| huating wreck and the bodies of human beings
struggling for life and their loud cries could be
| heard for great distance.
The steamboat had, in ALL 5S passengers How
many were lost it is impossible to tell. MIR. Lang
| ley distinctly saw, with his glass, from his ware
mousse, quite number jump overheard the boat
emerged from the draw. There are known to
| have been three drowned nearly opposite the ferry
landing and in sight OF skis unable to reach them
in time. person named as 'insane" was chained

The MARYLAND QvoTA.-Governor Hicks has
issued a proclamation calling out four reyimeutq
of Maryland Infantry to serve for three months in
which ne states that he has the written assurance
| OF Secretary Cameron that they shall be required
70 serve only In Maryland and the District of Col
| umbia.
! Considering that nearly every one of the States
whose loyalty does not require the stimulus of Fed
eral oayonets are eagerly competing for the priv-
| iege OF sending more regiments to serve through
out the war, and wherever they may be wanted, we
object to the reception of these Marylanders on
| such conditions, and decidedly object to any
such pledges as General Cameron is said to have
given. If the Union is to be saved, it must be by
men as willing to fight for j, side of the Po-
tomac as the other.-Neto York Tribune
MUST PAY UP.-The New York merchants who.
on the spur of the moment induced their emplov
ees to volunteer by promising a continuance of
their salaries, it need little "coercion'' to
make them comply with their hasty contracts
The Tribune threatens them after this fashion,
! 'No little indignation is felt in certain regiments
| py members VINO were expecting to serve their
country, and whose employers in New York had
granted them leave OF absence, with urd paw
that they should now be compelled to resign and
return, or allow their families suffer on account
OF the stoppage OF salaries by the aforesaid employ
ers. 1t would seem no more than Justice ii the
names OF such employers could be published As
tits, however, they may take a sober second
thought and re-decide."
