LOYALTY OF THE DISTRICT OF co.
LUMRIA

The people of the North have lbeen obsti.
nately incredulous as to the loyalty Of this city
and District. But it has been we'll known by
the leaders Of the conspiracy, and it is only
their better knowledge on this subject which
has restrained them from attacking this capi.

defence, except the citizens of the District, be.
yond force of regular troops and State mill.
tia, not exceeding twenty-five hundred men.
A large majority Of the people of this District
were either born here or in the free States, or
in Europe; and, as to the minority, born in
the slave States, it cannot be assumed that
they are disloyal, without assuming what is not
true, that the majority in the slave States
really favor the present attempt to break up
the Government. Here, in Washington, where
the usurpers have not been permitted to start
their reign of terror, much the largest proper.
ton of our citizens who come here from the
slave States, are warmly patriotic.
The men who have heretofore given seces.

ministration, and the hangers-on, in various
capacities, of the expelled disuuion dynasty
They have disappeared with the power which
fostered them.
There have undoubtedly been q good many
secessionists here, but they are thinning out
daily. The National Volunteers have almost
wholly gone of within the last week.
The District companies which have been
mustered into the service, are, in the main, re.
liable troops, and will do good service when
the time comes. They are entitled to the
thanks and to the confidence of the country.
They have endured the hardship of watching
through the whole night, for many successive
nights, without murmur, and are prompt and
cheerful and vigilant in. the discharge Of all
their duties.

p6 The first blow which the mob has struck
at the commerce Of Baltimore, is the breaking
up of its two railroads to the North. The next
blow will be aimed at its railroad to the West.
The men who composed this mob, can have no
interest in the business prosperity of Baltimore,
but how long will it be, before those who have
such an interest, see that they must either mus.
ter courage enough to put down the mob, or
fortitude enough to bear being ruined by the
mob? The dangers which menace the com.
merce and wealth of Baltimore, are not to be
escaped by a merely passive course, on the part
of those who have something to lose. They
must act, and with decision and courage.

JOHN BROWN RAIDS.

The Boston Post, quoted in the Baltimore
Sun of Saturday, says:
ave were informed yesterday that there is
excellent reason for believing in the existence
of secret organization Of colored individuals
in Boston, composed principally Of fugitive
slaves, who have communicated with parties in
Richmond, Va and also act in concert with
negroes residing in Canada. Rumor gives the
organization the credit Of having attained q
powerful growth, and it is probably unneces.
sary to sta.e that the movement has for its OBJ
ject the aiding in great and general insurrec-
ton among the slaves OF the South
Nothing has hitherto restrained such plot
tings among the colored people, and extreme
abolitionists of the free States except that fra.
ternal spirit towards the South, heretofore ami.
mating the great masses at the North, but not
likely long to survive current events.
The seizures of Northern ships and steamers
by the virginians last Thursday, were acts Of
piracy, and justify any measure of retalistion.
In the last war between France and Great
Britain, against Russia, neither belligerent
made prize of the ships found in their ports
when the war was declared. But Virginia,
still member of the Union, treats her sister
States worse than the European Powers treat
each other, after declaring war. What the Vir.
ginians have done, is nothing but piracy, and
thus acting as enemies Of the human race, they
must not wonder if they are treated as such
If the State of Maine. which has mercantile
marine larger than that Of the French Empire
chooses to avenge the seizure of the Argo, by
ravaging the coasts Of Virginia and carrying
of to Hayti all the negroes who can be enticed
away, nobody can complain. Such things may
not happen, but they are invited and rendered
probable by what has been done in Virginia
That State has put herself out Of the pale oi
the common rules Of war, and is liable to be
treated accordingly.

The Baltimore american Of Saturday morn
ing, SO far succumbs to the storm, as not to re-.
moustrate against the mad and reasonable
resistance to the march of national troops
through Maryland. But the Clipper keeps the
Union aag flying in gallant style. 1t says:
"Such occurrences as those of yesterday will
bring down upon US fifty aye, hundred thou.
sand armed troops, in forty.eight hours, who
will only substitute another armed and mad.
gathered in our streets.
ave are willing to defend our homes and
fresides from wanton aggression. We do
not fear to meet our country's foes on any
field, but the people Of Baltimore had as well
throw themselves singly beneath the wheels of
q locomotive at full speed as to endeavor to
stop the current Of men called out by the Presi.
dent of the United States for the defence of
the Capitol at Washington. They will pour in,
not by hundreds, as they came yesterday, but
by thousands and hundreds of thousands, if
necessary, and resistance to their passage will
only itritste and exasperate, and make Balti.
more the first object Of attack and Of destruc.
ton.
"We write these words from no fear of the
people who are to be thus exasperated by hav-
ing their fellow citizens cruelty attacked, mur.
dered in our streets by an organized and
lawless and unreasoning mob, but from con.
viction Of the truth of what we say. We are
anxious for the preservation of the public
peace. We are still loyal to the Union and to
the State Government; but we would reason
with our people, and ask them to consider, each
one for himself, if the course proposed to be
pursued will not create greater and more Sc.
rious disturbances than any that have occurred.
"Gentlemen may expect to accomplish some
partisan purpose in fomenting the mob spirit
abroad in our midst. But this is no time for
an exhibition Of party spirit or the execution
of party maneuvre. In a few weeks there
will be legitimate opportunity afforded for an
expression Of public sentiment, not only in
Baltimore, but throughout the State. The men
who seek to avail themselves of the prevailing
excitement, and to set on mob of men and
boys to defy authority and trample the law un.
der foot, should be signally rebuked by our
citizens. We have thirty thousand votes in
this city. There were probably three thousand
men and boys together engaged in the riot
yesterday. The solid, sensible, sober thinking
masses Of the people Of Baltimore regret and
condemn the whole proceeding"
The national Republican., 1861-04-22

b~ The Baltimore Sun, Of Saturday, has
the following specimen of secession logic:
"It is u matter Of much dissatisfaction with
our citizens that the peace Of Maryland should
have been disturbed by such action on the part
Of the Government as to produce the unpleas-
ant consequences which are upon US. As u
slave State, Maryland has not been demonstra.
tive against the Administration, and she should
not have been thrust into an unwilling and
needless attitude Of hostility to her sister States
of the South"
The act of mob in Baltimore, amounting
to par upon the United States, is here treated
as something forced upon those amiable row.
dies by wicked Government.

HARPER's FERRY.-About half of the Gov.

arms was not burnt. The United States sol.
diers, forty.three in number, withdrew into

racks. All the arms not removed, said to be
fourteen thousand, but principally of old pat
terms, or defective, were destroyed before the
evacuation. The valuable arms had been re.
moved in season, and chiefly to this city. The
Virginians accomplished nothing by their raid
upon Harper's Ferry, and are likely to be
equally unsuccessful at Norfolk. If they had
had the courage to make a dash upon this city,
before the recent arrival of reinforcements,
they might possibly have achieved success.

VIRoINIA.-From a reliable gentleman, who
rode into Fairfax county yesterday eighteen
miles, upon private business, we learn the fol.
lowing particulars:
The people are greatly excited, and messen.
gers are moving about in various directions,
upon foaming horses. They talk of an imme.
diate attack upon Washington. They have a
report that the Massachusetts, regiment was
used up in Baltimore on Friday. Those who
do not favor the revolutionary movement are
silent and passive from fear of violence. A
meeting of the county is called for Tuesday, to
prepare for the grand attack. They have no
sort Of doubt that one Virginian is full match
for ten Northern men, and they intend to make
short work of the I'D Yankees The wo.
men are as belligerent as the men. The negroes
are terribly ercited.
