There Is no telling the quantity of arms and

that every man in the South who can carry

II ever resentment was q sacred duty it is
made so by the slaughter of our citizens yester-
DAY, by Northern invaders, on their own soil and
within sight Of their wives and children. The
call Of Mr.. LINCOLN upon the militia of the coun-
try, is one not recognized by the laws or the Con-
sututon. 1t is as gross and tyraunical an outrage
as ever disgraced despotism. The act of 1895,
under which he has pretended to Justify it. con-
templates no case, except where the military force
Is called in aid of the civil or judicial power. To
pretend to assmate such an occasion to one
like the present. and to attempt, under color of it,
to invade seven States which have declared them
selves independent and among which no civil or
judicial authority of the UNITED STATES exists, is
to triiie with the understandings and with the lib
critics Of men. 1t is usurpation, which may be
ri9htfuily treated as such, and to which resist
ance is n holy obligation.
Heshowed besides, day or two ago, that even il
the occasion legally justified the requjsition the mi
htia called out could only lawfully be used, to sup
press the alleged illegal combinations in the States
where the Proclamation declares them to exist
No such allegation has been made in regard 70
Maryland or the District of Columbia, and the usc
OF the militia in either, is consequently a sheer
usurpation likewise. No milita-man, called out
under tie proclamation, is a lawful soldier of the
UNION, if employed in either Maryland or the Dis
trct Any such employment is illegal, and
may lawfully be resisted to the death. The
recognition of any military power in the President
which is not expressly given by the laws and the
Constitution, is a submission TO tyranny. Shall

Never before, in the annals of our city, wa!
there afforded so noble an illustration of the per-
formance of duty, under the most trying circum.
stances, as was exhibited by the conduct of the
Police during the bloody and memorable occur
rences of yesterday. All that courage, discipline
and subordnation to authority, could possibly do,
they did, to preserve the peace of the city, and
protect from violence the very men who had
drawn upon themselves the popular indigna-
ton, by coming through this city in body,
prepared" according to a despatch from
Washington in the New York Herald of yester-
day, s'to fight their way to the Federal Capital if
1T should be necessary" In the midst of the
surging and overwhelming masses, and the scenes
OF violence and bloodshed that were provoked by
the presence OF these Northern troops the conduct
Oh the police, calm, vglant and resolute was
worthy ct all praise. All the subordinate officers,
without exception, set TO their men an example
wAich they were not slow to initiate. Deputy
Marshal CLIFFORD and Marshal KANE, espe-
pecially, distinguished themselves; whilst the
courageous department of Mayor Brown, who
marcDeo with them, and with them rsked his life
TO maintain Order as far as it was possible and
7indicate from asperson the authority of the
CITY, was the theme of general remark. If was
an arduou5 duty admirably performed. Tt is
DUTY that human nature cannot be called upon 70
perform twice.
Nhe withdrawal by the Governor of his re-
quisltf7S npon the military of the city, and of all
1nteriererfe with the lawful functions of the
board Of Police, was received with profound sat-
is'achop by the whole community, and contribu-
eo perhaps more than anything else to the resto-
i"''0n OF public confidence and tranquility.

All feel that it is trfng with the issues of life
and death, of national welfare and ruin, to pause
at such a jnncture to consider whether the Legis-
lature belongs to this or that political party or
whether there are Il few thousand dollars more or
less in the public treasury. All feel that it is the
very madness of presumption for any one man,
however wise or prudent TO undertake to carry
our State through such crisis after the fashion
that suits him, and to the destination that he pre-
fers. The people of Maryland must be consulted
in this emergency; and until then, there cannot

oNFoUNDED.-The report that thirty or forty of
the South Caroinians were killed at the attack on
Sumter cannot be true. The Charleston papers, in
their accounts of the capture, all agree that no one
was injured, and Governor Pickens, in his speech
alter the battle to the Charlestonians, expressly
congratulates them upon the bloodess result. He
could scarcely speak in this way if it were other
wise, for there would be evidences around to con-
found and confute the assertion.

GENTL@EN:-ln the Exchange of to-day is put-
lished despntch from Annapolis containing an
extract from the Annapolis Gazette in reference to
the Governors designs with regard to the Pres-
dents requisition for four regiments from Mary
land. Your correspondent states that the Gazette
is Gov. HICKS organ thereby implying that the
paragraph quoted from my paper is an authorita-
tive exposition of the Governors policy in the
premises.
1t is my plain duty to deny this. In these excl
ted times men 90 not even read calmly. The par
agraph quoted, though correctly copied, was mere
ly an exposition of my own opinion and hopes, for
which l alone am responsible. Gov. Hicks had no
knowledge it, nor had | any knowledge of his
designs or opinion in the premises
My paper is not the Governors organ. l wish it
were But, as it is not, it is my honorable duty to
deny that he had any knowledge of the publication
to which your correspondent refers.
