SLAVE INsURREoTIoNs - Interesting cores
pondenee has passed between Gov. Andrew
and Gen. Butler, in relation 10 the latters offer
to suppress slave instructions in Maryland.
The whole subject is one of momentous inter
est, and in the progress of events will COM
mand the earnest attention of all who have
controlling influence in the emergency. Gov.
Andrew, regarding the question in purely
military point of view, says the matter of SER
vile Instructions is to be contemplated as one
of the inherent weaknesses of the enemy
from the disastrous operations of which we
are under no obligation OF military charac-
ter to guard them, in order that they may be
enabled to improve the scarcity which our

federal vernment and capital. General
Butler replies at length, and in courteous
language, maintaining that Maryland was still
loyal, and that he was armed against all insur-
gents of Marylan and OF the United States.
If, he adds, his men are to be attacked by poi
son, or the knife of the assassin, ard thus muir
dered, the community using such weapons
may be required to be taught that it holds
within its ownkborders, more potent means
for deadly purposes and indiscriminate slaugh-
ter than any which it can administer to us.
