(says the Baltimore Sum that meeting Of
gentlemen was recently held at Barnum's Ilo-
lei, to take into consideration the best means
Of eliciting an expression Of the public senti-
ment of Maryland upon the present condition
of national affairs. The meeting comprised
several of our most intelligent, prudent and
experienced citizens, gentlemen whose senti-
ments and feelings identify them with the
rights, interests and welfare of the South. -
After much deiberation it was decided to APP
point committee, with power TO invite con-
ference of the best informed, most eminent
and influential citizens in the several counties
If the State, to be held in Baltimore on the
10th instant The gentlemen invited were not
selected without regard to party, but with
such consideration Of il as to make the con-
ference one including representative men OF
both parties as they now exist in this State.
The number of gentlemen invited is double
that of the legislative representation, onc-hali
being of either party.
The purpose of the movement is to ascer-
tain from the members of the conference their
opinions and views Of public sentiment in
those portions of the State they VIII respoe-
lively represent and, also, with regard to the
propriety of converting the Legislature, OF
the adoption Of such Interior measures as may
be necessary for a reliable and intelligent ex-
hibition of the position Of the State OF Mary
land with regard to the present crisis.

The Legislature of Missouri assembled on
Monday, and the st. Louis Republican sug-
gests that it at once pass an act calling con-
vention of commissioners from the slave
States at Baltimore to state explicitly their
grievances and the aggressions of the North.
Mr.. Cooper, the commissioner from Alabama,
made strong secession speech to the MEM
bers on Saturday evening. He did not be-
lieye in a commercial or industrial point of
view the southern States would be the losers
in case of a disruption of the government
lie said the South did not desire to reopen
the African slave trade.
MURDER.-On Monday evening, the oath ult,
negro Daniel, the slave Of Mr. HENRY BRAD
LEY, assaulted a free negro named Dick Short

near the arm pit, from the effects of which he
died on the Friday following. Daniel made
no effort to escape, and is now confined in Jail,
The circumstances attending this case are of so
aggravated nature, thatthe examining justice

The session Of the democratic state COM
mittee, in this city, Wednesday, resulted in
calling party convention on the 18th of Sep
tember Edward Avery of Braintree said, if
the country was to be saved, it must be on the
democratic principle, and Massachusetts, was
the place to bring it before the people. He
doubted if they ought "to sustain an admins
tration when it is violating the principles on
which our government is founded, or party
whose reckless course brought this war upon
u.s." Giles II. Whitney OF WinchendOn was
in favor of sustaining the administration on
national grounds. lie thought no party at the
north was responsible for the war. 1t was the
work of ambitious leaders at the south. Mr..
Lincoln was the head of the government,and on
the great question of maintaining the govern
ment he must be sustained. Mr.. Emery Of
Lowell submitted series of patriotic resolutions
| expressive of the sentiments of the democrats
of Lowell, proposing to lay aside party lines,
and devote all their energies to the preserva-
ton of the Union, and the punishment of trai-
tors. A o. Seamans of Springfield said, SC
long as God gave him breath, he would moi
acknowledge southern confederacy, and i
the present government could not bring the

democracy was straight convention, and Mr.
Avery's proposition was acquiesced in. The
basis of the call is. given substantially in an

without this it is Impossible for any troops
to perform great deeds and maintain high
reputation for courage and power in
battle. The uns,inted laudations of the
New York press did them no good, for they
encouraged in them an overweening sense of
their qualifications and value as soldiers,
while these men needed TO bear more honest
criticism, and get just sense of their def
ciencies. They might have done better if
Ellsworth had lived, but they have at all times
beeu insubordlnatu and FESTIVE under discl
pline, and might have given him serious trou'
bic.
Some of the New York papers think 1t is
useless to attempt reorganization OF this
regiment. Perhaps it is but there are men
in it who must now understand what II mas
lacked, and desire to retrieve its reputation
They should have an opportunity to try once
more. Some of them who returned TO New
York soon after the battle, held mee'hg
the other night at which they SAID IN the res
olutons adopted, eve are extremely anxious
to march again against the traitors to the best
government in the world p and report of the
meeting says, there was a general desire
to maintain the honor Of the Fire Zou-
aves" An order OF The government requires
them 70 meet at given place on or
before Monday next, for reorganization,
and notifies them that every man who fails to
do SO will be marked as deserter, We shall
soon know whether they have the spirit to
redeem themselves and earn the reputation 10
which they have aspired

THE FIRE zoUAvEs.

4hat sensation regiment, called the New
York Fire Zouaves, has turned out badly. No
other regiment in the army has so LARGELY en-.
gagged public attention. No other has been so
extravagantly praised True, they were lit
tie hayward, ran the report, and sometimes be-
haved like troop of wild Arabs; but they
meant well, and they would fight "1ike so
many devils" The reports were very tender
and forbearing toward thesA and after the bat
tie Of Bull Run, the Ne% Yurk reporters were
unlimited in descriptions of the terrible cour-
age and Tremendous fighting of these "pet
lamtd 1t turns out that the stories told of
s.slIeir fighting were not true. Gen. Heintzel-
man, to whose command they belonged, says
in his report 1.-THE evanescent courage of The
Fire Zouaves prompted them to fire hundred
shots, when they broke and fled, leaving the
batteries open to a charge of the enemy's cav
airy, which took place Immediately" This
behavior of the Zouaves communicated disor-
der to other regiments, and presently, ''the
slopes behind us were swarming with our re
treating and dsorganized forces" But "the
Sixty-Ninth aud Twenty Seventh New York
stood uobly, and returned the fire of the enc.
my"
The Zouaves did not recover from their
panic. In fact the whole regiment has not
been together since that time Some of them
scattered into the woods Some fed to Wash.
ington, and even attempted to make their
way to New York. A portion of them formed
again, and, after spending some time in camp
at Alexandria, they have returned to New
York to reorganize and recruit. This is
lamentable failure to keep high promise of
bravery and efiicienct. Individually the men
were not destitute of either courage or force
but the regiment lacked subordination, and
