The Reign Of Terror.

We peruscd, last week, letter, addressed to
gentleman of this place by relative in Mary
land which portrayed, in vivid colors, the bitter
humiliations to which the patriots of Maryland
are daily subjected by the tyrannical Govern
mcnt at Washington. The writer did not think
il prudent to append his signature to the letter,
lest he might be arrested; for nearly every let
ter he receives is found to have been opened
lie was in Philadelphia when the intelligence of
the surrender Of Fort Sumter was received there,
and he saw fierce mob in possession of the
city, threatening destruction to every man sus-
pected of syripathzing with the South. He is
we'll acquainted with the merchants there who
have been engaged in the Southern trade, and
he knows of only one house, among them all,
that had the nerve to stand up for those who
have made them rich The others bowed before
the storm, and affixed ropes to the lamp-posts
before their doors for the hanging of secession
lists The pecuniary distress in the city is very
great Bankruptcy stares the wcalthiest in the
face, and the reign of law and order is at an end.
The free expression Of opinion, throughout Ma
ryland, is suppressed by Federal bayonets.-
Men dare not give utterancc TO their real senti-
mcnts, because they know that they are power
less against the tyrant who has his foot upon
their necks. They were, generally, unarmed.
They have been robbed of the few arms they
had. They cannot travel without passes, like
so many slaves. They cannot leave the country
with their negroes, and so insecure is that kind
of property now felt to be, that an average slave
will not command more money than an average
horse. Let our free people look to conquered
Maryland and behold there foretaste of the
beginning Of what is reserved for us, IL the de-
mons at Washington are permitted to work
their will.

The Military Relief Association.

This organization held its second meeting on
Saturday last, the a5th inst Funds to the
amount of about 1926 had been collected and
were paid in by three or four of the twenty-five
members Of the various Special Committees
Several hundred dollars. we are told, have since
been raised. The following is copy of the
petition which is now being circulated for sigma.
lures among the people of tho county!
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF POLICE or LAFAr-
srTE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI:
The Petition of the undersigned, citizens and
taxpayers of said County, respectfully repre-.
sents that several companies of volunteers have
been raised in the County for the defence of the
liberties Of the Confederate States that some
of those companies have already been ordered
into service and the others are shortly expect
ing marching orders; that many of those vol
unteers- are in needy circumstances and will re-
quire aid to enable them to take the field, while
their families will be exposed to want in the
absence Of those upon whom they are depend
cnt; that large sums, raised by private sub.
scfiption, have been expended upon the compa.
hes now in the service and that more money
win be required for the companies newly organ
lied, aud for the families Of volunteers, than In
dvduals will be likely TO contribute with rea
sonablc promptness and in view Of these facts,
understanding that there is now in the County
Treasury surplus fund not Immediately re.
quired for County purposes, the undersigned
pray that your Honorable Board will appropri.
ate that surplus, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, for the purpose of relieving needy
volunteers, and their families, in this County.
The Board of Police will meet on the third
Monday in June, when, doubtless the prayer or
the petitioners will be granted. We learn,
however, that the surplus in the County Treas
ury is not sufficient in amount to afford ade
duate relief to the families Of our volunteers
In that case, the people should instruct the
Board Of Police to levy tax upon the property.
holders Of the county in order to meet the ext
gency Of the occasion. Private contributions
should no longer be relied upon. Generous
and patriotic men have already contributed
their full share of burthen that should be
borne alike by all, and the niggardly fellows
who have refused to contribute voluntarily
should be compelled TO disgorge fair proper.
lion Of that wealth which our gallant volunteers
are going into the field to preserve and defend.

Black Republican per6dy.

We invite the attention of our readers TO the
exposition. on another page, Of the SHAMELESS
dnplicity q. lincoln and his Cabinet. in regard
to Fort Sumter The correspondence Of Judge
Campbell with Mr.. Seward is sufficient Of Itself,
to consign Lincoln's Secretary Of State To per-
petual infamy. A plain statement of facts is
laid before that official, and he is courteously
invited to explain them, if he can, so as to re
lieve himself. Of the damning inference Justly
deducible from them; but he is silent He has
not word of explanation to offer. He. tacitly
confcsses that he has been guilty of such
breach of faith that he is unworthy to be recog-
nized as the peer Of gentlemen and men Of honor.
The annals Of tfeachery may be searched in
vain for parallel to the course pursued by Lin
coin towards the Confederate States. His inau-
gural address was so drawn up as to be suscep-
tible Of different constructions. and he himself
is now known to have construed 1t to his Black
Republican supporters as war speech, while,
at the same time, he was most solemniy assu-
ring Southern men that he meant only peace.
Our readers will remember also, that, for weeks
after his Inauguration, the country was daily
expecting to hear of the evacuation of Fort
Sumter, and that the New York Tribune, and
other rabid abolition journals, undertook to de-
fcnd the measure as one dictated by military
necessity" It now turns out that Seward,
knowing. that Judge Campbell was acting as an
Intermediary between the Government of the
United States and the Commissioners Of the
Confederate States, made him the most positive
and direct promises that Fort Sumter should
speedily be evacuated, and that these promises
were made at the very moment while Mr.. Sew
ard knew that secret preparations were on foot
for the Reinforcement of the fort Suspicious
of his bad faith having at length been excited
Seward replies to a letter Of inquiry on the sub
ject-"Faith as to Sumter fully kept-wait and
sec" Judge Campbell did not have long to
"wait" before he "saw" that he had been made
the unconscious tool of a Government that was
not ashamed to resort to downright and deliber-
ate lying in order to accomplish its purposes
II is well that our people should understand the
real character of the blood-thirsty wretchcs who
are NOW seeking our suljugation. We can now
estimate, at their true value the glozing prom
ises with which It was sought to lull us into
sense of security under abolition rule; and our
hearts should be filed with gratitude to Heaven
for so ordering events that VIC have not only es-
capped from the snarcs that were spread by our
mortal enemies for our destruction, but our eyes
have been opened to perceive the full extent of
the awful peril to which we have been exposed

A New Ally of the South.

Hitherto, when tho States Of our Southern
Confederacy were but seven in number, we look
ed almost exclusively to cotton as our most
powerful ally. Cotton, indeed, was the great
staple production Of those seven States; and
England especially, was known to be SO entire
ly dependent upon them for her supply Of the
article, that II was believed she would favor and
assist us, as against The North, to such an ex-
tent as 10 render our subjugation forever impos-
Sble We knew, also, that France was deeply
interested in the cotton question, but VIC felt
less secure in our ability to command her inter-
ested friendship. Now, however, new state of
things exists. The secession of Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee and the probable seces-
sion Of Kentucky and Missouri, renders tobacco
on ally of the South, second only to cotton in
power and importance. France makes Gov
rrnment monopoly Of tobacco, and derives from
that monopoly an annual revenue Of some thir-
~ millions of dollars. The greater portion of
the tobacco purchased by France is the growth
of the border slave States. The present war
interfcres with the production and transporta-
ton Of tobacco and Louis Napoleon, who can
not afford to have his present revenues materi-
ally diminished, is therefore bound to favor our
cauge.

When Abraham the Least called for 5000

They treated his calf with contempt as an affair
