seoosh "societyn in Baltimore.


BALTIMORE, June l7.-Let me give YOU a
sample or two Of rebel manners prevailing in
Baltimore. One of our most esteemed Union
ladies, who stands at the top Of the ham ton,
was out shopping, recently, with the wife of
high military officer in this department, when,
being caught in a shower, they took refuge in
fashionable store. There they met another
of the upper-ten women, who proffered the
use of her carriage standing at the door to her
Union friend, with whom she continued TO
maintain amcable relations, Notwithstanding
her rebellious sympathies. The Union lady
declined the protfered civility, on the ground
that she was accompanied by a friend, and
remarked that she would wait till the shower
was over. The secessionist extended the in
Vltatlon to her friend, whom the Union lady
then introduced to her by name. The mo
ment the feminine rebel heard the name, she
repeated 1t with a scornful ejaculation. and
stepping back and surveying the lady i'm the
most disdaintul manner, babe her Union
friend a good morning, and flirted out of the
store.
"Here is another case. The same officers
wife who was thus so grossly insulted. and
who Is one Of the loveliest Of her country's
defenders, was walking with a friend along
tiS SuCCt, "lIcH SHc was met by the reDclllOuS
daughter Of one of the most intense male reb-
els in the town. As they approached each
other the young secessionist exclaimed to
her companion, loud enough to be heard,
Lets get out of the way of these Yankee
women coming here-these poisonous Hes
sians' And they hurried by, tucking up
their crinolinc in true rebel style.
$50 tirkled are our female rebel communi-
ty with this style of manners, that they lose
no opportunity in cultivating it whenever a
chance offers, so that the gulf is widening
daily and hourly between them and the Union
society. And, by way of encouraging the
younger part of feminine secession society in
these impolte and rude ways, mothers are in
the habit Of holding lerees, at which tableaux
Of insulting conduct to federal officers and
Unionsts are acted out beforehand Some
young chap plays the part Of federal officer,
while young girl is taught how to pass him
with the most telling scorn on her face, and
how to express her contempt by the toss of
her crinoline."

A MEXICAN DEvELoPMENT.-A curious let
ter of Gen. Prim to the emperor Napoleon,
which has just come to light, conveys these
solemn warnings =
Monarchy left behind it in this country
(MeXico) neither the immense interests of a
secular nobility, as happens in Europe, when
by the violence OF revolutionary hurricane
some throne is overturned, nor did it leave
moral interests or anything whichwould cause
the present generation to desire the re-estab-
lishment of monarchy which it never knew,
and which nobody nor anything has taught il
to desire or respect.
SIT will be easy for your majesty to conduct
prince Macmillan to the capital and crown
him king; but this king will find in the coun-
try no. other support than that of those con-
servative leaders who, when in power, never
thought of establishing monarcy, but con-
template it now that they are beaten, scatter
ed, and in exile"
The general further cautions the emperor
that foreign monarch must fall from Mex
lean throne ''the day that the imperial mantle
of France ceases to shield him." and frankly
declares that the spirit of the nation will rebel
against a radical change in its institutions
Warnings like these, coming from Spanish
general, who is not more famous than his gov.
eminent for tenderness towards individuals OF
nations, must produce decided effect

PIERRE SoULE IN BosToN.-Hon. Pierre
Soule of New Orleans, has reached New York,
with the expectation Of paying second visit

OF the democracy, who consulted him on the
eXpedlency of coalition with the free soil

ancy OF the party south, &C., &c. Mr. Soule
favored the coalition, suggesting that the DEM

than break up the trade he would let them
have the United States senator, preterring one
OF that party to a whig. Mr.. Soule now Wis

Col. CLUsERET.- accounts of the
movements ofGen. Fremont's troops speak in
high terms of Col. Cluserct, the Frenchman,
who commanded Gen. Fremonts advance.
He went into battle in white trousers. and
with his orders on his breast but although in
The thickest Of the fight, and conspicuous by
his dress, was unhurt. The rebel marksmen
aimed at him many times in vain. Although
speaking but little English, his action inspired
his men. When regiment taltered before
overwhelming numbers, he rushed to the
front, seized musket, and showed the men
what to do. His example had more effect
than dozens of general orders could have had.
He did not lose his presence of mind when
drawn into an ambuscade in the woods
through the fault of others. but reformed his
men and led them to a safe position.

The general commanding the brigade con-
graduates the officers and soldiers of his COM
mand upon their recent honorable achieve

played by you at Fair Oaks on May 3lst and

to none. The gallantry of your irrisistable
charge with the bayonet overwhelmed a con-
hdent foe, turned back the tide of battle, and
crowned your banners with victory. But you

necOhpenSe.
In earlier times of strife and wrong
God sent his vengeance from on high,
Upon the plague wind blowing long,
Or lightning flashing through the sky.
The first born, in a single night,
Died silently great land through,
Like grain fields meath sudden blight
That softlier falls than evening dew.
How wept the Rachels on that morn!
The shackles fell, the bond went free;
Exulting Israel raised its horn
Safely beyond the parted sea-
Yespoilers of the latter days,
Gods judgments fall not from the skies!
Nc poison have the midday rays,
The stars beam not with fatal eyes
Yet thrills the earth with inward pains;
The steel horizon nearer draws;
They rend the chains on bloody plains,3
And reassert the tramped laws.
And who shall chide the tardy hours,
The cloudy curtain still undrawn!
God works with grand but silent powers,
His smile shall brighten into dawn.

CLEARING A DEBToR's PRIsoN.-The work
OF clearing the Queens Bench Prison, Lon
don, OF its inhabitants is now verging toward
close. Strange to say, it has been a very
difficult task. Many of the prisoners sternly
refused to be made bankrupts, though by
giving their consent, they could have immedi-
ately obtained their release. The most curi-
Gus case was that of VIM. Miller, who had
been in prison since July, Sl4-forty-eipht
years He had lost all desire to 90 ont. and
would sign nothing which would have the ef-
feet OF making him a free man. When ot
length he was absolutely forced to acquiesce.
ne begged to be allowed to remain in the
prison Il few days longer; and when his time
was up he still fingered fondly within the
gates to bid the officials farewell and to shake
hands over and over again, until he passed
the outer gates Of the Queens Bench Prison,
few weeks since. VIM. Miller, who was
born nearly eighty years ago never saw
street gaS-ldmp, nor an omnibus, much less
steamship or Il railway. London EXCHANGE.
