poISgs OF A RHODE ISLAND REGIMENT
A Rhode Island regiment. LOO strong, en-
tered the city of Frederick, Md, on the morn
ing of the 18th inst, and at once proceeded to
perform some very valiant acts. A telegraphic
dispatch says
About 9 O'Clock this morning q large crowd
of ths soldiers gathered about the office OF the
Herald. a Southern Rights paper, and de-
manded a Secession flag, which they had been
informed was concealed upon the premises.
VIM. Heard, the editor, whilst denying that
he had such flag, is said 10 have asserted
his right 10 display any flag he pleased. Inls
reply greatly lncensed the soldiers, who gath
cred in increased numbers about the building,
and threatened its demolition unless the flag
was surrendered and the National flag dis
play ed.
Lieutenant Colonel Pitman Srdered the dis
persal OF the soldiers and of - large crowd
of citizens who had assembled, and he placed
a resolute guard of four men at the door OF
the office 70 prevent the admission of all dis
orderly persons. The excitement had tempo
rarlly sd osided, when a number OF artillerist IS
attached to the regiment made their appear
dnce, bearing Secession flag, which they had
captured in the yard OF A dwelling, and urged
assault upon the office.
Several friends of the proprietor of the pa
per gathered about hun, and there was appa-
rently an immediate danger OF Il collision,
when Col. Burnside appeared, and at his com
mand the soldiers promptly withdrew from
the vicinity OF the building, after giving three
cheers for the Union.
Col. Burnside pointed out to the citizens
around him the difficulty Of restraining so
large body of men when excited, and called
upon those amon2 them harboring disloyal
sentiments, not to give expression TO them or
he would not be answerable tor the conse
quences.
Col. p Naulsby also exerted himself to
calm the excitement.
The soldiers captured several Secession
flags on their march hither from Hagers town.
one was seized upon the premises OF Mr.
John Hagan, il few miles from this city, to-
gether with TWO guns and revolver which
were found there.

remember that the rents and pr;ces Of real

exorbitant prices will repel population. As

Up to the 4th of last March, the Democratic
pafty was in power, and administered the
government upon democratic principles. The
last administration came in with surplus of
S20,ooo,0o in the treasury, and the coun-
try united and peaceable Wei, when they
went out the other day, the treasury was
not only empty, but'the cour Try was in de- t
some ST., 900 00 seven States were in re-
bellion against the government; the arSenals

eracy were in possession Of rebels the navy
was scattered over the ocean, and the army
quartered in small detachments in distant
and isolated posts. The last Congress ex,
PRED when Lincoln came in, and without
passing any law comforting power upon the
new administration to deal it'll treason and
rebellion
And yet in full view of these facts these
democrats, who are responsible for the con.
dition Of the country on the 4th day Of March,
hive the unblushing afh ontery TO blame
Lincoln for not instantly restoring the conn

space of three short weeks. why don't he
re.capture the forts, suppress rebellion gen.
orally, and put down his foot firmly? say
they. Andyet, in.the same breath, they cry

horror Of civil war, into which all along they
have prof,sSed to believe that Lincoln would
plunge the country. " e.. r..
