LOCAL NEws.-The local news market
is decidedly duil-yet everybody glances
at the local department, and if it contains
nothing the editor is lazy. If he speaks
of things as they are, he is mad. If he
CLOSES over, smooths down the rough
points, he is bribed If he calls things
by their proper names, he is unft for the
position of an editor. If he does not, he
is a rattlehead, lacking stability. If he
condemns the wrong, he is a good fellow,
but lacks discretion. If he lets wrong
and injuries 20 uumentiOned, he is COW
ard. If he upholds a public man, lie
does it to CRAFTY sPite-is a tool Of q

RIoT IN BALTMoRE.-On Sunday the 25th
of May when the news reached Baltimore of
the retreat of Gen. Banks, the Secessionists
openly rejoiced at the temporary defeat of the
Union cause. This SO exasperated the Union
men-many OF whom had friends and relatives
In Banks diyIson-that they proceeded to
use some stringent measures against the trail
tors, and it was with difficulty that they were
prevented from hanging men of property and
standing who were base enough to rejoice over
temporary reverse of that Government under
which they have prospered and grown rich.
1t is said that many of the Secessionists left
the city, and several hotel keepers were COM
PEELED to hoist the Stars and Stripes for pro-
lection. Thus it would seem that the Union
men of Baltimore have determ ined to express
their sentiments, and maintain their rights
against the traitors of our counlry-although
in a very rough and plain manner. At last
accounts the city was quiet, and the Union
men were in the ascendant
