The DlSSOLGTlON UF The UNION.
The United States may possibly come to under
stand the truth OF the vulgar proverb, which is
Just as true of constitutions as of youth, health
wealth, strength and beauty, that we never thor
oughly know the value of thing until we have
lost it. The tendency of the present age lies prob
ably in the direction of undertaking the effect Of
Institutions on men, and regarding national sue
and failure more as the result OF race tempera-
ment and climate, than Oflaws and customs. But
it is impossible to consider the history of the Uni
ted States since they emancipated themselves from
the control of this country, without finding at eve
nv step reason to admire the extraordinary sagac-
itv with which their federal Constitution has been
framed, and to appreciate the immense benefits
which that Constitution has conferred.
In the State Constitutions there is but little to
attract particular attention. They show an an
cient democracy modified by the modern princi-
pie of representation, polty in which the will of
the numerical majority rules without check and
without effort In the Federal Government, how
ever, the violence of the Democratic principle is
controlled by the operation of the federal element
and the Senate gives frmness to the legislature
and wisdom to the Executive which mere democ
NFacy could never supply. There is no doubt that
the States of the Union far better governed
now than they possibly can be under any constitu-
tion which gives greater prominence to the princi-
pie OF State independence But this is commonly
considered among the least of its advantages. By
the Federal Constitution the United States are
made one OF the principal powers of the world
BY the Federal Constitution they enjoy the ad-
vantage of the freest intercourse with each other,
without giving up either uniformity of
customs of the most complete power Of local taxa
ton.
If they would know the value OF this advantage
let them study the tariffs of the Australian Colo
MES, and congratulate themselves on their freedom
from the absurdty into which these younger set
Elements have fallen off long ntercolonial Customs
lines stretching through an uninhabited interior.
By this Constitution, also, has been rea lzed what
appears to US in Europe the utopian dream of an
Amphictyonic Council deciding questions between
independent nations which older countries must
arrange by diplomacy or the sword. Happy Amer
lea, if she knew her own bessings-happy if she
were more disposed to cling to that which is her
real strength and glory, and less inclined to vaunt
advantages which she receives either the gift OF
Nature, which, like her INTERCHANGEABLE insti-
buttons are rather evils than bene6tsi

South desolated-the Union would be lost and the
nation ruined. Looking forward, therefore, to
these disastrous consequences we have strenuously
appealed to Congress not to entertain the idle no
ton that this Republic can be upheld by invading
and coercing the South. Congress alone has the
power to disarm this revolution and it can only do
so by meeting itwth concession and compromise. A
recognition of the rights of the South might have
saved the Unon but if that is refused the Gays Of
the Republic are numbered, and the aN isl respon-
sibiity for its destruction will rest chiefly,
II not altogether, upon Congress. These
are the positions to which we have con-
stantly adhered; and we think, considering
the end we had in view, namely the mainte
nance of the present Confederacy, that they were
judicious and perfectly consistent. We have en-
deavored to deal with facts as they were, and
amid ali the changes of the times, TO up.
hold the right wherever might find it. If we
had taken an extreme position on either side we
might have been better understood If we had
secuted the idea of a dissolution of the Union, and
denounced in unmeasured terms the pretensions of
the South, and protested an abiding confidence in
the wisdom of those who propose to arrange this
dispute by standing still and talking of flags and
consultations, we should perhaps have fallen
when the inevitable crisis came, surrounded by a
host Of deluded and enthusiastic friends If we
had Landed every precipitate measure which has
been adopted by the more ultra slave States, we
are confident that we should have rallied to our
support large and influential party. But we
have sought, in this struggle, neither popularity
nor pecuniary advantage. We have battled for the
maintenance of Southern rights and of the Union,
believing that these were at this uncture, INSOFAR
ably connected. Conscious of having pursued our
objects with answering honesty of purpose, we
leave our readers to determine whether we have
not also done so with consistency and with good
Indictment

To the Editors Of the Daily Exchange:
GENrLEMEN:-I cordially concur in the recon-
mendation of your correspondent in yesterdays
paper, to the Maryland Guard, and other military
corps, to organize new companies in a cheap IA
tigue uniform, or without any uniform and hope
the suggestion may be speedily carried into effect.
would also very particularly suggest to the
merchants of Baltimore, that it is their duty to en-
courage, rather than frown upon the military spir-
it of their clerks and that it is not very creditabe
to public spirit, that even a few Of them have
the paltry value of a day, and even half day,
spent on parade and drill, for the public good.
Want of encouragement from some employers and
actual interference by others, may be assigned as
more plausible reasons for the deficiency of num-
bers in the ranks of our battalions, than the mere
cost of thirty dollar uniform and equipment

MARYLAND AFFAIRS.
ST. MARY's COUNTY.

From the LeOndrdtOUn Bedc0n.l
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-We learn, with deep re-
greet, that Lewis Miburn, son of John L. Mil
burn, of this county, and clerk at the Oak Store,
in ST. Georges accidentally shot himself in rising
from bed, on Friday morning last. From what we
learn OF the particulars, it appears that he was in
the habit of sleeping by the side of his gun, which
he took to bed with him at night to guard against
robbers and house-breakers, and in pulling it to-
wards him by the barrel, it accidentally dis
charged. The contents of the gun took effect in
the left breast, passing through portion of the
left lung, and lodging in the shoulder bone. The
wound is very severe, and it is feared will prove
fatal. His physicians, we understand, entertain
hopes of his recovery.
DEATH OF TIE WIDOW OF A FORMER U. s. SGyA-
ToR.-A woman named Mrs. Mary Ann German
died in state of great restitution in our city YES
terday morning, and is to be buried at the public
expense this afternoon. Mrs. G. has lived here for
several years, and is well known to many of our
citizens. She endeavored, for a while after she
came here, to get a living by making and selling
"Grecian paintings" and other fancy work, but
was unable to do so, and at last became a city
charge. Mrs. German related strange story of
her life. She represented that she was the widow
of former United States Senator from this State,
and that at his death estate valued at over S70
600 was taken from her on fraudulent claim pre-
ferred by his brother. This story and other state
ments made by her, were not credited, because un-
supported by other evidence than her word and
the manner in which they were told and embellish-
ed. She was evidently woman of education, and
possessed traces of personal beauty in her younger
days. She was the recipient of many favors from
those who became acquainted with her. Her age
was nearly or quite 20 years. We learn to day
that it is fact that the deceased the widow of
Obadiah German, who resided at Norwich, Che
mango county, and represented New Y ork in the
United States Senate from 1909 to 1Sl5.-Syracuse

MOVEMENT OF TRooPs TO THE SoUrH.-The steam

The troops at Fort Winthrop number seventy, and
small drafts of men may be made from the other
forts in the harbor, from the Navy Yard. The
steamer was cleared at the Custom House yester-
