M1RYLAND.-aThere is yet ray
Of hope that ere the close Of the
present struggle. gallant Maryland
whose sons and daughters have been
groaning beneath the heel of op.
preston, will be with us, and one o,
US. Her proud spirit cannot be
crushed, and her brave men and wo-
man intentiy long tbr 8 deliverancc

Baltimore, We give the following
extract from letter written in thag
city, and published in the Norioi!,
Day Book, Of the 18th inst.
However, we have not yet des

dimly in the distance, and we play
tor you and our dear ones night and
day. Some OF our loved ones have
shed their blood and drawn the..'
last breath for our holy cause; no
will ever mourn their loss, and their
blood will be avenged by heaven
through their brothers.

Courier, gives the opinion OF Gen
Lee and Secretary Benjamin. on the
duration of the war.
"On emerging into open air again,
| encountered our Commander in
Chief, He looked the soldier and
the gentleman, as ne undoubtedly is
Having related to him my adven-
lures, | said General, are you
hopeful p NO, sir" he replied ;
IL am confident" That is cheer
ing" l observed, "in the face of our
disasters and defeats" These" he
said, ''have been the Bunker Hill
victories Of our enemy, and the
providential mystery is how they
have been SO few. But the day of
terrible retribution is nigh he will
be ruined the North will be beg
CARED and bankrupt, and the Sonth
will pass out the ordeal respected by
the nations Of the earth, and with an
imperishable name in history" And
l am credibly informed, that Mr..
Benjamin said few days since
THAT the Il most duration OF this
war would he eight months that in
that time the North would be forced
to suecumb, no less to the prowess
OF our arms than to her own eJnbar-
rassments and incapaci'y TO prose
