1t strikes us az very hard case. tina,
the people Of Maryland. or at least tina,
unfortunate portion Of them which has the
infr,.ity t" deny honesty Of purpose to
the administration and sense and drcency
:" its suhordinates throughout this State,
should be insuitcd and outraged whencv-
er it happens-and i, is now always haI-
pening-that the Federal forces are
~orstei in fight across thu Potomac. The
Government or the ruffians who wear its
livery appear, on snch occasions, to act
upon the principle, that the homer of the
nation requires that somebody should be-
outraged as an offset, and, rs it has been
discovered 10 be much easier task to out
rage people who have no means Of defence
than people who have. We Of Maryland
are made to dance for il. We have no
doubt that it is exceedingly gratifying to
ai"'lition vanity to think that it can at
present knock down and bully III Maryland
with IMMUNITY. If it can do it no where
else. Possibly. il may be gratifying to
other people to reflect, that it cannot bull
" even here forever. These remarks have
been suggested by the recent wholesale
arrests of inoff.nsive citizens Of our State
and county Oh board of the steamers Mary
Washington AMI George Wcems on
Wednesday of Inst week. Without Civ
ing any notification that the oath of allcgi-
Ance would be required Of the passengers
or explaining by what authority Of law
they cxacted it, the police and military au-
th"rities took possession of these boats,
challenged every man on bnard, and,
unless be expressed willingness to take
this oath. he was marched off to prison .
"A very large number Of soldiers" says
the News Sheet. were upon the wharf,
and pressed around the prisoners as they
passed along. many of them making re-
marks intended to be face,ious, and all Of
them manifesting great delight Is it
wonderful that such men as these are
found to run away at the first blast from
q Southern bugle. The following list en-
braces the names Of those who were ar
rested and whose residence is in our
county. Rev. George X. Warner,
George r. Garner, b. l.. Hayden. NJ b.
Chunn. William II. Burroughs, Henry
Adams and james Waring. BY the
News Sheet of Tuesday last, We see that
Mr.. George X. Garner has been uncon-
ditionally released. The others are still
confined in person. The examination of
the baggage" We IRE informed was most
inquisitive No article Of female apparel
was allowed to pass without inspection.
Garments Of every description were OPEN
cd aud shaken out without discrinina-
ton" This exhibition, doubtless also,
ELECTED "facctious" manifestations from the
soldiers and was doubtless also received with
great delight" And We are living
under q government Of positive and equal
laws. in an age Of Christian decency. aud
these things are authorized by soldier
and . gentleman whose head has been
frosted BY the SHOWS Of seventy winters!

War and other News.

The war news of the past week may be
said to be confined almost exclusively to
rumors. Affairs on the Peninsula are
unchanged, if We may credit the official
bulletins of the Government. The Con-
fclerates occapy the South bank Of rhr
James, in large force, and have erected
strong AMI numerous batteries both above
aud below EIariison's Landing. 4 few
nights since. one of thrse batteries OPEN
ed heavy fire upon the Federal trans
ports near Wc>toycr. and also threw a
number of shells across the river and
into the Federal lines. The Division
thus ANNOYED was commanded by Gen
Fitz John Porter, and the loss sustained
by it is estimated at from 10 to 100, in
killed and wounded. Several transports
were quite seriously injured during the
bombariment, which is said to have lasted
about an hour. Beyond this. there is no
fighting reported in this quarter.
BY rumor from Fortress Monroe. We
are informed, that the rebel Merrimac No
:. has made her appearance in the James
River, and now lies under the guns Of
Fort Darling. Some five other steamers
are with her, and Com. Wilkes is pre-
pairing to give them a warm reception"
A subsequent report, however. discrelits
this rumor and shows, that three weeks
must yet transpirc ere this dread monster
shall be completed"
A rurmor is also in circulation, that "ten
iron-clad steamers have raised the blockade
at Mobile and openel that port to the COM
merce of the world" These steamers
were built either in England or at Mas
sau and carry from 10 to 80 guns each,
of the heaviest c.libre. This rumor,
however. has not been confirmed, and like
the Mcrrimac story, is probably unfoun-
dcd.
The scige of Tick>burg. We are toll.
has been raised and the Federal fotilla
has retired down the river. The New
York W"rH regards this movement as q
serious Federal revere and as "as great
q disaster to our cause as the loss Of
heavy battle" The canal project of Com.
FarraCut is pronounced failure, ani the
Mississippi may now be regarded as
closed to the Federal Government. We

People need not be surprised to hear
shat the feminine population Of Memphis
is very bitter. They are incorrigiblc par

are still kept up. for there are whole cir
cles which are still unbsoken, except by
the absence of portion of its male mem

goes, have seen no reason to envy the
male secessionists of Memphis They have
much at stake. Property, personal pre-.
ferenccs, and natural ayersions incline
many TO remain and become loyal citizens.
The female seccs>ionists. on the contra

symra,hics with the personal investments
already made in the Southern cause, and
they are truly merciless. To the bold
