LATEST FROM ceCKEYsvILLE-THE PENNSYLVANIA
TROOPS.
A gentleman who left Cockeysville about ten
O'Clock last night, reports that the troops which
have been lying in that neighborhood since Sun
Gay morning were then about leaving A number
OF cars had been sent down. and they had left their
encampment in Cockey's woods (Old Camp Meeting
ground) and marched to Ashland to get aboard
Ihey have been lying on the bare ground without
tents or fires, and with little or nothing to eat,
having brought no provisions with them, and it is
SAID but little ammunition Our informant, who is
FAMILIAR with the residents in that part of Bal
timore county, describes their sympathies as
haVlng been very much enlisted in behalf
OF the misguided men who have been led
into this foray upon their Southern brethren
py oeslgnlng leaders, and expressed much appre-
henson lest the Baltimore troops should march out
ana destroy these apparently helpless and harmless
creatures. They seemed to have not the slightest
luea OF military discipline, but were lying pro-
miscuousy about the road, and people from all
quarters were focking in and riding among them
without question resistance. If they bid man
stand and he didn't they seemed to "take note of
hlm nut let him 60" They committed no depre-
dation on property so far as our informant heard,
not even making free with fence rails for fires.-
Iney were cursiDg Governor Curtin, to whom they
attributed their unfortunate and unexpected stua-
ton, and were only too glad to get away without
fight
WHAT THE INVADERS NOW THINK.
Ihe Massachusetts, troops who were permitted to
pass through our city to Washington, appear to
nave acquired very proper estimate of the feel
ings of the State of Maryland. One of them who
seemed to be quite of all the rumors in rela-
ton to the Governor of our State, is said to have
remarked that "the great present of the State of
Maryland, which Governor Hicks was to make to
the Administration, proved to be more dangerous
than Vaiua6le 1t was very much like handing
over Gagged tiger, with the bars in the cage very
shakY at that''
TROOPS AT HAvRE-DE-GRAcE
messenger arrived in this city last evening
from Havre-de-Grace, stating that at halfpast five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon about 1000 troops
were at Havre- -de-Grace, and two propellers were
waiting TO receive them.
ADDITIONAL FROM THE CAMP.
From gentleman who visited the camp of Penn
sylyanian troops at Cockey svie, about 10 o'clock
v,
they were going back to Pennsylvania, and would
leave at 2 o'clock. They had abandoned their po-
sltIon, and bad progressed to point near the Run,
at the termination of the railroad. The doubts Of
the truth of their statement would seem to be au-
thorized by the fact that at o'clock they were
still in the same place. The condition
OF the soldiers truly ptiabe. One of
them died on Sunday evening, and three
were reported to have died Yesterday, more from
fright than any thing else. They freely expressed
to the visitors that they had been grossly deceived
by statements made at home that the people of the
border slave States were all opposed to the South
and desired their cooperation ia favor of the Gov
and that they were forced into the SER
vice by threats. Many of them declared they de-
spised their mission, and would join the Mary land
troops it they could escape. Sixteen had deserted
on Sunday. The country people were earnestly
desirHrs of attacking or driving them off, and the
uuar;gtsv OF sentiment in the county is now as
perfecS as IN the city.
THE PEACE MISSION.
1t will be recollected that on Sunday a meeting
of the Young Mems Christian Associations was
held, and committee of fifty appointed to wait
on President Lincoln and intercede with him for
the adoption of peaceful policy in relation to the
Southern States. Rev. DR.. Fuller was waited up-
on by the committee and requested to act as their
chairman. The committee proceeded to Washing
ton yesterday morning, and had interview with
the President of about an hours duration -
The following were the principal points of the con-
versation. Addressing Mr. Lincoln, DR.. Fuller
said that Maryland was the first to take measures
for the adoption of the Constitution MARYLAND
had poured out her blood like water for union and
liberty, and yet the first blood in this fratricidal
war had been spilled in The streets of Baltimore in
Maryland. He implored Mr. Lincoln to pass no
more troops through Marvland-they would not he
allowed to go through: particularly did he plead
Tor the innocent women and child en- of the city.
he asked MIR. Lincoln to his efforts to restore
peace. 1t he did not allow peace to those States
which had seeded, the result would he terrible
opHF for tha rja aroI
men, God and this nation would hold him respon-
sible.
Mr. Lincoln replied that, mathematicallv speak
ing, the troops could not crawl under Maryland,
nor could they fly over it, ard consequently they
would have to come through it. Ii he was to fol-
low the advice of DR.. Fuller, he would have no
Government at all. France and England would
recognize the Southern Contederacy, and his reve-
nues would be broken up, and the Government
would be worth nothing. DR.. Fuller assured him
that he thought differently himself, and believed
that there could be strong Government in the
South and another one in the North, who might
live in alliance Mr.. Lincoln thought differently,
and said that South Carolinians were now march,
inn through Virginia for the purpose of hanging
him. DR.. Fuller then told the President that the
impression bad been created among the people, he
did not know whether it was erroneous or not that
his Cabinet were principally disposed to have peace
and that General Scott had counselled peace but
that he was the man who desired war; Mr. Smith
stated that he felt it to be his duty to state that
the Cabinet entirely approved of Mr.. Lincon's
course in this matter. The President then said
that as for General Scott, he was General Scotts
legal master, and although he was General ScOtts
legal master he consulted General Scott, but Cen
eral Scott had never counselled peace The Com
mittee lett under the impression that Mr.. Lincoln
is altogether unsuited to the position he occupies
utterly incapable of comprehending the difficulties
with which we are now surrounded, and that all
the good that he does will be done from sense of
fear, not duty. Thus ended the mission of these
Christians.
BALTIMORE COUNTY.

The citizens of the 4th Election District met at
Reisterstown yesterday, and in obedience to call
made on the morning of the same day. sponta-
neously responded by organizing a new Cavalry

From the pamphlet entitled "The South alone should

POWER OF THE SOUTH TO PROTECT HER.
SELF-IN MEN, POSITION, AND AGRICUL-
TURAL WEALTH.
What rejecting man can doubt the abundant
ability OF the South to protect herself and to at
tain power which will cause her to be respected
among the foremost nations of the earth?
The eight seeding States alone, possess a terrific
~ more than three times as great as France, more
than sac times as large Prussia, and nearly sic
times as large England, Scotland and Ireland
put together; while the alliance of the other
Southern and border States, would increase the
territorial extent of the Southern Confederacy
more than one-third. Can a country like
this, occupied by a people who from their
childhood have been accustomed to the most
manly exercise, and the free use of fireaams-bold,
hardy, restive under unlawful control-and num-
bering within its borders 1,S00 900 men capable of
bearing arms, and who, with few weeks warning,
could be marshalled at every assailable point in
bands of $4,000 and 100, ,000-can, l say, such a
country, and so peopled, be overcome by any for
