A PAssAaR TO BE FORCED THROUGH BALTI-
NOPE. Baltimore is completely hemmed in on
both sides with an effective force, which is to
be Immediately employed in opening pas
sage through that city for the federal troops,
and restoring free communication between
the North and the capital o. the republic.
With this purpose, Major General keim, Of
Pennsylvania, was ordered to leave Philadel
phia last week, for the camp at York, with
instructions to advance at once with an army
of fifteen thousand men on Baltimore. If
any resistance is offered, he will issue = pro-
clrmation announcing his intention to march
his forces through that city, and warning the
loyal citizens, the women and children, to
leave. and will then cut his way through at
all hazards. 1t is probable, however, that
the threat Of visiting Baltimore with so
severe chastisement will bring the resist
ants to their senses, and thus save the effu-
sion of blood.

~ We hope our banks will persist in
refusing to have anything more to do with
the totes Of those Illinois banks recently
thrown out in Chicago, and more recently
restored as part of Chicago currency. There
is but little doubt that the last move is for
the purpose of getting the stuff off the hands
of Chicago bankers, so that the people will
have to bear the loss when it goes down, as
go down it must. Don't take single dollar

Uox CEKRir SNrrH-Belored and Hon. Friend;
Nv the date of your late letter to Representative Owen
Loyeioy. which has just met my eye, perceive that
il was written full week before the notable panic and
retreat of our brave army in Virginia, only paraeled
NV some of the pancs recorded as from the hand of
God ia the Annals of the Children of Israel. The
Governmental Proclamation of Liberty to the en-
shaved had not then become military necessity OF the
war except in the judgment of few who have firmly
believed from the beginning that we can never agar,
exercise governmental: authority over the South until
we take away that for which the South lights, VIZ;
Slavery. .
You are among the few who have had the sagasity
TO see the ability to argue and the fidelity TO urge
from the beginning, as the wises1l satess IT,
speediest, and geptiest way of finishing the war. IN
your letter, therefore, to Mr.. Lovoy, wni,e every.n
looked hopeful for the Government, while tue 'spe
of Congress was 70 admirable and both It's speech anu
its action were alike energetic and decided anu .ne
fervor OF patriotic people was AZ "hi'o
uobtly saw: "The liberation Of the slaves has oovi'
onsIv become one of the necessities and therefore one
of the rights of the country Let the President IN me-
canacity of commander OF Tue army, proclaim SUI
liberation and the war would end in thirty days lhf
South beside that she would, when hei m,.lions u
cbates are transmitted into men, have quite too mnct
IN FONT against, would when her Slavery Is annihi
| lated, have nothing left to tight for. :.
Utberto the North has excused itself TO itsei ana
Fnrope for not aboshing Slavery. Its plea has ceel
that Il had rot the right 10 do 30. But what can be ~
ulsa nowl Now, when the South has given 1t tn.
right and when by all the rules Of war, II Is ~ iui
liberty to exercise the right In making war upon w
the South has authorized us TO cripple her III an y.
ways we can. 1t mag be that we can Though ~ az,
| believe that God will let usl put DOWN fo''''0
yet save Slavery" M. .o,,m.rt;n
In another part of your letter, after concn ;h;,
upon the strange spectacle which our ns,'on shs
in the eyes Of Europe, you na'uf"v "'-'

Hitherto the North has excused isslfto Itself anc

Slavery. Bat what If we can Is Slavery 60 pre-
cons 10 the North that she afford 70 save u ~ inc
coat of half her wealth and tens OF thousands OF her
men9 One would think that she had rather put down
Slavery ong with rebellion, and 80 blot out forever
the sole cause Of the rebellion.
This shrinking of Congress from repeating the
Fugitive Slave Act WILL doubt not, 70 far 70 prepare
Euroe 70 expect the OF the rebellion, ana 20
prepare her to recognize the new nation. She VIII
measure our eaInestness against the rebellion by our
earnesiness against Slavery She sees, If we do not,
that the war OF the South Is simply war
for Slavery. strange spectacle our natloh
must be in the eyes Of Europe! What Is thefe
that such nation France or England would NOT
do 10 save itself ia appalling rebellion But such
il the amazing conduct of our MARION, as TO occas,on
the inquiry-what u there that u Tm 90 VIA
must Europe think of this American chiyalry, which
regards d,sh0aOrqe 10 avail itself OF an element
Of weakness in mercess and dangerous foe1 what
Europe think of this greater tenderness Tor the
persons and property, aye even toe c0n0sHt'ORM prop
erfy, of fees than for the persons and property Of
friends once heard an oic-seeker who WAS intent
making himself acceptable to all parties, speak OF
:" our friends and our opposing friends" Ihe gentie
bearing of our Government reminds Of the m'ncng
style of the oifice.seeker. Our Government seems 70
recognize our foes as but "oppoding friends"
Can it be that Congress is still trammeled by tie
absurd regard for the loyal Slave Staes No State Is
loya that would have the negroes work fer instead o.
against the Rebellion No man Is loyal who would
have il. No man ia true American, who, when
America is warred on will not welcome to her side the
services OF every American.
am glad that Congress has resolved to NEEDLE with
nothing AZ this session beyond the war question Bat
utterly absurd is the inference Of many that it must
not therefore NEEDLE with the slave question. lhs
slave question il the war question. The war began III
Slavery, aud it will end but with Slavery.
INCREASINGLY, both penwise ard hpwise, am asked
what the AbolitiOnsts should do. answer that the
one present work Of both Abolittonists and Anti
Abolitionists il TO put down Rebellion; and that, as
the most reasonable, hopeful and demanded means to
this end, both Abotonists and Ani-Aoolitionists,
should petition the President TO proclaim the liberty Of
the slaves. Your hiend, GEkRT ShITH'
