tbs LOYAL ATTITUDE or MARYLANp.-Thc
raid Of Jackson's force down the valley Of the
Shenandoah has been attended with good
effects of two kinds. In the first place, is has
demonstrated that the sentiment OF loyalty in
the North is as true and enthusiastic as ever to
the cause Of the Union. Secondly, 1t has do
veloped the marvellous change that has taken
place in the case Of Maryland. It will be
recollected that a year ago our militia on their
way to the defence of the national capital we're
assailed in the streets Of Baltimore, and the
greatest violence prevailed. After the open
expression of disloyalty was cowed down by
overwhelming numbers the populatoni re-
NAMED sullen, and it was predicted by many
that whenever the Southern rebels march,
ed into Maryland the people of that State
in general, and Baltimore in particular,
would rise to welcome them and join
their ranks. This prognostication is now
tested. The news Of the retreat of Banks
and of his pursuit by Jacksons force, which
reached Baltimore on Sunday last, so far from
having the effect anticipated, was attended by
a strong Union demonstration, and secession
was either extinguished or dared not to show
its head. There was further gratifying evi-
dence of this remarkable change in the recep-
ton given to the Seventh New York regiment on
its way to Washington. Let the secessionists be
convinced by ocular demonstration that North

Two DISTINGUISHED SOUTHERN LADIES UypER
OuR CAnE.-By our news from the South to-
day we learn that -Mss. Beauregard, wife Of
the famous General, was discovered to be in
New Orleans, in occupation Of the house Of
Mr.. Sldel. General Butler, on sscertaining
this fact, removed the guard from the house,
and treated her with distinguished considera-
ton, ordering her to be protected against insult
or injury. From letter published in our
columns II appears that the wife Of another
distinguished rebel leader, Gen. Lee, was dis
covered by the troops Of Gen. Mcclellan in the
vicinity Of Richmond, from which she had re-
tired on the approach Of our army. It appears
the lady possessed no information Of the move
ments Of the rebel army. There was much
speculation some time ago as TO the where
abouts of these two ladies. Some located
them in Boston, some in Brooklyn, and some
in other places; but now their local habitaiion
IS discovered by the progress Of our arms
which are every day bringing strange things to
light, and the public curiosity will be satisfied
on that point. The ladies are both South and
not at the North. as had been go generally

The following fine poem by Prof. Longfsllow. az
he rst published by him since the sad accident whic
brought such mourning to his house:
TIE CUMBERLAND.
At anch r in Hampton Roads We lay,
On board Of the Cumberland slOop-of.wsr;
And at times from tine fortress across the bay
The alarum OF drums swept past,
Or buge-blast
From the camp on shore.
Then far away to the south uprose
A little feather OF snow-white smoke,
And We knew that the iron ship OF our foes
Wss steadily steering its course
To try the force
OF our ribs Of oak.
Down upon US heavily runs,
Silent and sull.n, the floating fort
Then comes pull Of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,
With aery breath,
From each open port
We are not idle, but send her straight
Defiance back In . full bresdside!
As hail rebounds from roof Of slate,
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
OF the monsters hide.
s.Strike your aag!" the rebel cries,
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
"Nevef! our 8AlI0nC motifs repieS
at IL better to sink than to yeld!'
And the whole air pealea
With the cheers Of our men.
Then, like kraken huge and black,
She crushed our ribs in her iron graspI
Down went the Cumberland al! q wrack,
With a sudden shudder Of death,
And the lannon's breath,
For her dying gasp.
Next morn, as the sun rose over the bay,
Still hoated flags at the mainmast- head.
Lord. how beautiful was Thy day!
Every waft Of the air
Was a whisper OF prayer
Or dirge for the dead.
Ho! brave hearts that went down in the seas
Ye are at peace /" the troubled stream.
1Io brave land with hearts like these,
Thy flag, that is rent in twain,
Shalt be one again,
