FIRST DISTRICT IN MARYLAND (CRIs.
FIELD'S.)
CAMBklpGE, Mp., June "A, 1861.

CAMBRIDGE, ND, June IA, 1861.
DEAN Sin: We have met the enemy in this
county, aud they are defunct. Our men have
fought the good fight. There can be no doubt
as to the election Of our man in this district.
Our opponents claimed this couuty up to last
night at nine o'clock, by 275 majority. If their
calculations for the rest Of the district are like
these, we shall have our man by 200 majority.
Such political fight as this has been in this
county, do not think was ever had. Seces-
sion is dead in old Dorchester county, and the
buried so deep that the judgment trumpet will
fail to reach it. DORCHESTER.
Mr.. wINANs PAYS HIS MONEY.
The secessionists made the best fight they
could in Maryland, using their money freely.
Mr.. Ross Winans invested three thousand dol
lars in Dorchester county. He wrote to prom.
inent lawyer in that county to come to Balti.
more, when he (Winans) would furnish him
with that amount. The lawyer went. Gu his
way, he accidentally lost the letter, which, fall.
ing into the hands Of the enemy, disclosed thus
much of the plan Of operations.
Mr.. cRlsFIELD's POSITION.
Mr.. Cris6eld, who is elected in the district OF
which Dorchester forms part, is one of the
most patriot men in the country, and, withal
is one Of the largest shareholders in Maryland
He was interrogated by the secessionists as to
his views upon coercion" and also whether he
should, if elected, agree to reconstruction u
without further guarantees for slavery. He re
piled that he should advocate what they called
"coercion till the last knot of rebels in arms
was captured or scattered; aud that, as te
"guaranties for slavery" he himself owned u
hundred and fifty negroes, all of which he would
lose rather than moments farther peril should
come 10 the Union.

REBEL VICTORIES.


They had grand time Of it at Richmond on
the first day of this pleasant month of June,
routing the armies of the Republic. The oc.
casion was serenade, the theatre Of action was
the balcony Of hotel, the spectators were the
people of Richmond, where all the women are
fair and all the men brave, and the conquering
heroes we're JEFF. Davis and Henry A. Wise.
The illustrious President Of The Confederate
States, upon whom, according to his friends,
"the mantle Of Washington" has fallen, deliv.
cred himself in the following fashion:
ave have now reached the point where argu.
ments being exhausted, it only remains for us
to stand by our weapons, Cheers aud cries OF
'We will.' When the time and occasion serve
We shall smte the smiter with manly arms, as
did our fathers before us, and as becomes their
sons. To the enemy we leave the base acts Of
the assassin and ncendiary to them we leave
it to insult helpless women; to us belongs ven.
geance upon man. Tremendous applause.
Now, my friends, thank you again for this
gratifying manifestation. voice-'Tell us
something about Bueua Vista. Well, my
friends | can only say, De wiH make the battle
.fsids Of Virginia another Buend Vista, and
phich fo,eed there. We will make history for
ourselves. We do not ask that the past shall
shed our lustre upon us, bright as our past has
been, for we can achieve our own destiny. We
may point to many feld, over which has Goat
ed the aag Of our country wheu we were OF the
United States, upon which Southern soldiers
and Southern officers reflected their brave
spirits in their deeds Of daring; and, without
intending to cast q shadow upon the courage Of
any portion OF the United States, let me call it
to your remembrance, that no man who went
from as,y Of these I oDfederate States has ever
yet, as a general officer, surrendered to an
enemy" - ..1 .r.
Mr.. Wise commenced with the following in.
spiriting words:
"You want war, Ere, blood to purify you; and
the Lord Of Hosts has demanded that you should
to the fiery baptism, and I call upon you to
come up TO the altar. Though your pathway
be through FIRE or through river Of blood, turn
not aside"
And he closed appropriately, as follows:
"The Yankee will never stand in the presence
of cold steel. Let your aim, therefore, be to
get into close quarters, and with few decided,
vigorous movements-al,edys pushing .Jor,oard,
nerer back-my word for it, the soil OF Virginia
will be swept of the vaudals who ore now pol.
luting its atmosphere"
These were brave words, and there was no,
d nigger.trader in Richmond who did not SLEEP
more soundly in consequence Of them.
"Al,oays pushing Jorpard, neuer back" ha.
become somewhat less appropriate as Vir
ginia motto, since the retreat from Harper'a
Ferry.
If no" "general officer of the secession force,
surrender" hereafter in this war, the reason
will be, that their retreats will be made in such
abundant good season, that "surrender" will be
avoided. They will never be caught mapping
again, as General Frost was at ST. Louis.

pass part cularly current. @
The burden Of this order Of Floyd is the lack
of arms, and that difficulty was the leading
point of speech made at Richmond on the
'ist instant, BY Henry A. Wise. How wise
proposes to meet the difficulty, will be seen from
the following extract from bis speech: 2. i II -
"The man who dares to wait until some
magic arm is put into his hand; the man who
will not 20 unless he have q MIME or percus.

dozen rounds OF bpckshot, and go upon the
battlefield with these. II the enemys guns
reach further than yours, reduce the distance;
meet them foot to foot eye to eye, body to

Your true, blooded Yankee will never stand
still in the presence Of cold steel. Let your
aim, therefore, be to get into close quarters,
and with few decided, vigorous movements
