A captain of Volunteers in Gen. Sickles's
brigade, on his return from tour OF duty
through the intensely Pro.Slayery counties OF
MARYLAND below Washington, writes to friend
in this city as follows:
Many whole families fed on our approach to
Virginia, leaving their fine houses, estates cattle,
furniture &c. to the sole care of their negroes, who

set them free at once, which We should have done,

but one thing, he publicly and solemnly de-
clared he would never do, even to keep the
South in the Union--and that was, TO consent
to the planting of Slavery on what had preyi-
ously been Free Soil. In process of time, he
has backed out Of that position, and now holds
the Republicans little better than Disunionists
because they still maintain the ground he has
abandoned. Suppose we all initiated his feti-

REPuBrIcANrsM HOSTILE TO MUNICIPAL INDIE
pENDENcE We perceve that the Massachusetts,
Legislature has been entertaining the idea of
establishing a metropolitan police system in
Boston somewhat Ike our own; but it can
hardly be that the workings Of the New York
police system have impressed them with the wis
dom of such a measure. The fact is that the
republican party is enamored with the idea OF
Capitalization of power aud wherever 1t is In
the majority 1t inclnes towards that end. The
destruction of municipal rights appears to be
the first aim of that party. In Pennsylvania
shc other day the Harrisburg Legislature dealt
a fatal blow to the municipal independence and
privileges of Philadelphia by continuing the
corporation in office, and thus deprving the
people OF their inalienable right to elect new
representatives to that body. The course OF

PROSPECTS, OF AN EXTRA SESSION OF Con.
GREss.-If the administration should decide 10
call an extra session OF Congress- the House
would stand thus:-Republican los; opposi.
ton, 100-a majority for the administration of
five. The States which have seeded are en-
titled to thirty. three members, and IL they
were represented at Washington the republi-
cans would be in minority. In Rhode Island
and Connecticut the opposition has gained
four members, and in the next Congress
fifteen republicans will be replaced by oppo-
sidonists. No more decided expression of the
sentiment Of the country could be desired than
these Congressional elections. In Connecticut
especially, the fight was hand to hand-a duel
a la 'oatrance; and ii is quite absurd for the
Tribune to say that the republican voters we're
kept away from the polls by the snow storm.
That the new Congress will develope radical
change in Northern opinion cannot be doubted
by any calm observer Of current events. That
the calling Of an extra session would result In
the utter discontinue Of the administration is
also quite certain.

Carl. SCHURz ONCE MoRE.-The Tribune
comes Indignantly to the rescue of Carl Schurz
against the charge that he is q worshipper of
the Jacobin's Goddess of Reason, and is there
fore the last man in the world who should be
appointed to represent the Christian people
and government Of the United States before her
Most Catholic Majesty of Spain. Our cotem-
porary says that Schurz sis not Roman Catho-
lie. and is republican" and that "that is the
sum total" 1t is also contended that as we
have never yet sent a Catholic Ambassador to
Spain, the fact that Schurz is not one can hard
ly be tortured into cause of offence. Grant
ed. Our impressions of Schurz, however, are
that he is not simply Protestant, but a radi-
CAL ranting red republican German infidel OF
the genus Bohemian, whose intense hostility
and prejudices against the Pope of Rome and
his Church will be apt to get him, and perhaps
the United States, into trouble at Madrid. We
dare say that Mr.. Seward resisted his applica-
ton for the mission to the new kingdom of
Italy on some such ground as this; and we
dare say, too that but for the boisterous pa
rade by Scburz at Washington Of the German
legion at bis back he would not have frighten-
ed Honest Old Abe's Cabinet into his ap-
pointment to Spain or any other foreign mis-
sion. Finally, If Schurz shall turn up good
Christian at Madrid, even to the recognition of
the Immaculate Conception, we think Old Abe
will have saved at least one poor soul from an
indefinite roasting in purgatory.

Morrill, tariff upon the West-a community of
free traders. The Western merchant, mechanic
or farmer looks upon revenue tariff as spe-
cies of direct taxation, and views custom
houses as relics Of barbarous age. II is as
certained now that when all the Old World is
gradually approximating the view that the pro-
lection doctrine is a humbug, the much Wanted

in secession at one end, and an absurd, antedi.

sault itself. In the same way he shirks
his responsibility in the case of Fort Sum-
ter. AT half dozen Cabinet meetings 1t
has been decided and that, too, with the con-
currence of General Scott, that ne evacuation
Of the fort is military necessity. Yet Mr..
Lincoln will not give the order for its evacua-
ton, lest it should be placed on the record
against him; and he prefers to allow Major An
derson to be starved out or driven out by the
batteries by which he is surrounded, in which
event the lives Of the garrison would probably
fall a sacrifice, on the military principle that no
commander has right to hold out in an indie
feasible position after being summoned to sur.
render by superior force. For this useless
sacrifice OF brave officer and his command
which may occur at any moment, Mr. Lincoln
would be held responsible by Che nation. He
cannot therefore, escape the consequences Of
his omission; for by all nations 1t is held to be
the most sacred of duties to relieve patriotic
garrison, either by raising the siege or by
ordering the surrender Of the stronghold.
The ambiguity of the government seems to
pervade even the elections. The results in
New England indicate the uncertainty and
suspense in which the people are held from
day to day. They know not what to do. In
their business relations they are equally ct sea,
without chart or compass or star to guide
them over the dark waves; and thousands,
fearing to embark and make shipwrccks, are
rSined from inaction.
Such is the sad condition 10 which the coun-
try has been reduced since the triumph of the
republican party on the 9th Of November.
How much longer the people are to be kept in
