presidents emancipation plan. Why, we even
hear of state senator Eichelberger of Freder-
lex. a disciple of our Henry Winter Davis,
getting lost in the fog of constitutionalities
and state rights in regard to the emancipation
question. When such man is carried away
by the virus of negro slavery, we may have
little hopes of his colleagues, for he ought to
know better, and probably does.
THE PROSPECT.
The senators from Anne Arundel and
Prince Georges and Montgomery, learn,
are also laboring under the rabies. Repre-
sentative Leary in congress, as | stated in
one OF my late letters, is for the convocaton
OF the legislature at all hazards, and ascer-
tanning who Is who. 1t is possible the gov
ernor may test the question, for legislation is
needed not only upon the bounty matter, but
also upon the emancipation scheme. If the
legislature should go to playing secession
pranks secretary Seward could easily resume
the mantle of power and send the recusants
to fort Warren, to study constitutional law
under the direction of S. Teakle Wallis and
ex-mayor Brown. We want sitting in this
state, nay, violent shaking, IN order to win

THE CITY COUNCIL PURGED.
On Friday evening the nine rebel members
of the city council, finding that their continu-
ance in office was inconsistent with their per-
sonal liberty, very wisely adopted the kind
suggestion Of Gen. WOOL to give way at once
to loyal successors, and resign their Offices
Thus the city council of Baltimore is purged
of the last of the Performers, who were elect
ed two yesrs ago for the express purpose of
playing their part in the then coming rebellion.
Mayor Chapman will order an election of new
members without delay, so that Baltimore will
soon be found voting ample moneys for boun-
ties. Now let the governor convene the legis-
lature, and let us have separation of the
goats from the sheep in that body right away.
Let the line be drawn. 1t is time
AN EXODUS BY PERMISSION
A railroad train from the capital to Balti-

with forty or more negroes, who were making
their exodus from the house of bondage into
liberty under the protecting egis of the .goy

of the parents of one of the few Virginia
Wilbertorces of our times. 1t seems his faith

THE CONFLICT IN BALTIMORE.
The conflict here between loyalty and dis
loyalty is going on with great bitterness. As
one OF the members of tine government re-
marked to me in Washington, yesterday, the
time has come for the separation of the goats
from the sheep. The rebel portion of the
city council, IN refusing to vote the credit of
the city to bounty purposes, has thrown on
the governor the responsibility of converting
the legislature. Drafting seems to be gaining
friends. The working UniOnists want to make
the secessionists bleed, by paying high price
for substitutes. General Wool is drawing the
lines pretty close around our blabbng rebels.
Many arrests have been made in the last few
days. He has returned from his tour up the
valley, and says all is safe
BRIGADE OF CokoREp UNION MEN.
Applications have been made by MARYLAND

brigade OF colored Union men in this city.

| MILITARY RUMORS.
IL. Winter Davis received a despatch. A
day OF two ago, from the postmaster-general,
! inquiring whether he would raise brigade,
Mr.. Davis replied that his engagements pre-
vented. ex-governor Hicks, it is reported,
is going to take the field and raise brigade.
We hear nothing more of our incipient Gen
eral Webster. While brgadierships are fiy-
ing about the heads of the politicians, none
seem to be fluttering near the brave colonel
Kenly. People think strange of this want of
recognition of the colonels services. There
is Major Daniel H. McPhail, one of the new
paymasters, who merits brigadiership in
the regular army, and whose appointment
would be equal to a brigade, for he has the
public confidence, but he seems to be over
looked.
