whatever of title he may have held 10 the
throne of the French Indeed. the Count of
Paris, as d,1ett heir to one who has already
worn the crown, seems to-day more likely to
become master of that splendid monarchy
than was the grandsire few Gays before he
swaycd its sccptrc. He, descendant of the
proud old Boul bons, but still of the younger
branch Of Bourbons, was crowned, almost
without forcwarning, as tiii-ea king: and
when he no longer pleased the citizens he
was forced. with still less promotion. to abd-
cate the throne. lie died in exile, and his
grandsons are now lighting to maintain the
great Republic which afforded their grand.
sire an asylum, aud which the Bourbons, and
Lafayette, their noblest nobcman, assisted so
largely to create.
Besides many eminent European soldiers,
we have already in our ranks Prussian
Prince, and last advices leave it still. doubtful
if Garibaldi will not come to our aid. Would
it not seem strange, if our flag should float at
once over two Bourbons, a Prussan Prince,
and the heroic champion of Italian freedom ?

of the fight and surrender. The fort was
surrounded on Friday after SO hours fighting

river. having been cut off by the rebels after
a severe fight on Wednesday. The camp
ground contained no springs or wells. and
embraced ten acres Of breaslworks around it,
except the river front
The rebels procured bales of straw and
rolled them in advance, and under their cover
succeeded in securing position in the rear
They made but few assaults, their object
being to surround the fort and cut off sup.
plies of water, and this accomplished waited
till necessity compelled Mnlligan to yield.
Previous to the surrender, Col. Malligan
offered to take position on a level spot oil
ground and give Gen. Price the odds of four
to one in fair open fight, but they declined.
After the surrender the rebels mounted the
breastworks, mad with JOY. and trailed the

were all released on their parole and ferred

The Union Meetings of the Count

AnC Union meetings Oh the county.
Thus far the meetngs-both Mass and
Club-gotten up by the Union men Of Cecil
have been of a most spirited and successful
kind. The Mass Meeting at the Fox Chase
on Friday week was largely attended, and
able speeches were delivered. That of Mr..
Matthews, of Baltimore, is spoken of, by
those who had the good fortune 10 hear it, as
being most eloquent.
We had the pleasure of listening to the
brilliant oratory of Mr.. Matthews at the
Elkton Club Room the evening after the
meeting at the Fox Chase, when the large
Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity,
with eager listeners. We cannot pretend
owning to our limited space-to give even
sketch Of the eloquent orators remarks on
that occasion, but when he appealed to the
patriotism Of his hearers, and pointed to their
country's flag, his flights of eIoquence seemed
to carry the audience away, and rising sim.
ultancously to their feet, and waving hats
and hands, fairly shook the building with
their dcafenlng applause.
Mr.. Faehtz, of Elk ton. delivered the address
before the Club on Monday evening last, and
like all the Union Meetings that are organized,
the audience was large and enthusiastic.

About Martyrs.

If the members of the Maryland Lcgisla-
ture who have boei arrested and imprisoned
by the Government, or any of TIE Seces.
s,onists who sympatlize with them arc so
foolish as to think they occupy the position
of martyrs, we beg leave 10 assure them they
are egregiously mistaken. Posterity will
accord them no such honor. History will
dignity them with no sLch title. When this
damnable Rebellion which these men did all
they could to aid and abet, has been souelched
and the supremacy and dignity of the U. s.
Government has been efec,ually re.esta bl'sh-
ed in all the land they will be viewed in
proper light, and will be consigned to an
infamous oblivion by the people whom they
have so wilfully and wickedly endcavorcd to
misrepresent and destroy.
A martyr is one who suffers for great
principles living truth. But these bold.
bad men are suffering for their persistent
efforts to destroy the best Government on the
face of the earth, and bring anarchy and ruin
upon happy and prosperous nation. They
may hereafter be referred to as political adven.
turers who attempted great innovations. for
their own advancement. upon the Govern.
mcnt established by their fathers, and signally
failed in their nefarcus designs. Or they
may more charitably be remembered as dupes
and fools whose infatuation caused them to
forget their oaths and obligations to the PEG.
pie who placed them in power, and believe
that the tenets of corrupt and rotten oliear.
chy could be transplanted upon our republican
system of institutions. But never will they
be honored with the appellation of martyrs.
Thousands of men who have rotted out
their doomed days in loathsone dungeons, or
have expialcd their crimes on the gallows,
were equally as much martyrs as are the mem.
bers of the Mary land legislature. Their folly,
their reckless daring or :heir evil hearts
induced them to disregard public opinion
and to commit some crime against the laws
of the land. They suffered for acting out
their principles many Of them, when they
plunged dagger in some enemy's heart,
appropriated some strangers property, or
wrote friends name to o check, were as
sincere in the conviction they were serving
God and doing their duty as were the mem.
bers of our Legislature while plotting the
destruction of the Governm,nt--and are
equally as deserving of the martyrs crown

these political demagogucs in the criminal

them only as Rebels and Traitors
