my MARYLAND" "MY MARYLAND.r-Gene al
Lee and JEFF Davis must be pretty well con-
vinced by this time that my Maryland" is our
Maryland. When the rebel armies crossed into
that State they expected great uprising of the
people, which would give them at least Fifty
thousand new recruits, and aid them in transfer
ring the battle ground Of the war to the loyal
States. In this they have been most previously
disappointed. Very few people, even among the
secessionists. were jubilant at their approach.
There was no uprising Of the people in their
favor, and the number Of their recruits can be
counted by few hundreds. After . few days
Of feasting they found themselves surrounded
on all sides by hostile forces, and they had only
the alternatives of retreat or capture. Thus the
deliversrs Of "My Maryland find enough 10 do
in delivering themselves from ths scrape int
which they have been deluded.
In fact, the raid Of General Lee into Mary
land resembles on large scale the raid Of
John Brown into Virginia. Brown, too,
expected an uprising to aid him; but the
slaves did not care to rise. Brown, like Lee,
issued proclamation announcing himself as a
liberator, but was soon compelled to devote his
entire attention to libersting himself. Brown,
like Lee, advertised that he had arms for all
who would join him; but was soon obliged to
use these arms in his own defence. Like Lee
Brown expected to conquer sovereign State
but soon discovered that bis only safety was in
escaping from that State without being cap
tured. This comparison between the rebel
general and the abolition insurrectionist should
be very instructive to JEFF. Davis q Company
They should learn from it that there are some
kinds Of liberation" which sensible people dc
not desire, and that the Marylanders are just al
averse TO the blessings Of secession as the Vir
ginia slaves we're to the blessings Of insurrec.
ton and emancipation. We only hope that on,
| generals may be able to complete the parallel
between. Lee and Brown, by destroying the rebe
armies and making the invasion Of "My Mary
land" as striking an example as John Brown
raid Of the consequences which sometimes ensu
| from attempting to carry the war into Africa.

moro freely, ~and the federal government ieess

Has Mcclellan, abused his trust since his re-
appointment by any revolutionary csbals or
any insu Aordinasiou 10 the PrcSdcnts Has he
ever done so's Never On the contrary. above
all other generals appointed during this war he
has been scsuputoSs in his obedience TO the
constitution aad the Chief Magistrate. aud his
respect for the paramount authority Of The civil
over the military power He has shown
throughout the greatest disinterestSdness and
the smallest amount Of personal ambition. The
false pretence Of meditatesE "usurpatien" is me
offspring of q party maiigHity which would
sacrifice to its purposes the army and the very
existence of the government.
How do the spirit aud conduct OF the radical
generals who have taken the 6eid compare with
the patriotism Of McClellanf Take Fremont for
an example. 1t is in evidences may be seen
In the published report of the Congressional
Committee ON tho Conduct of the War-that
that general contemptuously disobeyed the
President, the Commanders Chief Of the army,
and said thst he (Fremont) was the representa-
tive Of the people, and did not care what the
President ordered. Here was insubordiuation
OF the worst kind-an attempt to set up, o revo-
lutiosary gcvernment-an attempt which has
been since repeatedly renewed by the
radicals, especially by their Jacobiu War
COmmittees Let US hear no more, there
fore, sheat usurpation," coupled with
the name oe General Mcclellan. That
saddle belongs to q horse of q different
color. But, while Mcclellan obeys the lawfully
constituted authorities, he ought, as a general
in the field to- whom is entrusted the destiny
Of the republic to insist that his plans shall not
be interfered with by civilians in Washington,
who have proved that they are profoundly
ignorant Of the first principles of war. He
owes it not only to- his reputati on as soldier,
but to his country's honor and safety, to make
doubly sure, that If his treacherous
enemies Of the radical school cannot be pre-.
vented from imperilling his success and the
safety Of the army by their virulent assaults
upon his character, they should, at least not be
permitted to- taHrer with his purely military
operations as they did before. These men can
no longer be suffered to trife with the lives of
our soldiers and to- endanger the life Of the
nation itself.

Close CORPORATIONS EvADING THE PUBLIC
TAx-We have already drawn attention to the
unwise and unjust action Of the New Yorh gas
companies in shifting the tax on their enormous
profits to the shoulders Of the consumer. This
outrageous proceeding Is arousing the people
to q vindicstion of their rights, and from all
sides we are receiving letters on the subject.
There 10 no doubt that the agitation Of the
question will eventusts in great good to the
whole community, by the destruction Of these
unscrupulous monopolies, which are acting SO
unfairly to the people.
We have now to draw attention to similar
course Of action on the part Of some other close
corporations. We learn that the New Haven
Railroad Company has come to the conclusion
to charge the United States tax on their profits
to commuters on their line, by an increase in
the price of travel. If this plan be carried
out-and we can scarcely conceive that il
could be reasonably entertained many labor
ing men who travel on the read will be seri-
road companies-of which there are six
have also caught the evasive contagion, and, IN
consequence of a war tax Of one and half per
cent on their gross receipts. have combined
and decided to make no change In consequence,
except to add one cent to the fare Of each pas
ssnger, thereby increasing their gross receipts
twenty-five per cent.
It will be the fault Of she people themselves
If they have to submit. to such plain imposition
as this Let the city corporations and the State
Legislature be eallad upon to deal with all
mouopolies that seek to shirk their Fair share Of
public responsibility, and in a time like this to
add to the burdens of the people. 1t Is almost
certain that resolute popular action will cause
the Legislature to act promptly and withdraw
the charters Of such shaving and unpatriouc
organizations. The city government OF Brook
lyn should see to these horse railroad com.
psncs, and, if they connot reach the evil. leti
be brought to the actce Of the approaching
| Legislature. The New York Corporation will
doubtless also give attention 70 the question
and interpose al once 70 prevent the extor
tionate proceedings Of toe gas and railroad

The FREE STATES Nor INvADED-With the
cine, Ohio, and ran away with their plunder
like frightened thieves, the rebels have invaded
no foot Of free territory. Even their advance
into Kentucky and Maryland has been but tenn
porary, and has resulted in disaster and re-
treat. The rebels were greatly mistaken in
supposing that our people were like their own;
that our free. States were as sparsely settled
and as depleted Of fighting men as the South
ern States, and that their armies could invade
us and occupy our cities as our armies have in
vaded and occuped the South.
When our forces appeared before Charleston
and Savannah the inhabitants Of those places
skedaddled. When our feet arrived off New
Orleans the people of that city made no re-
sistance. When we took Memphis some Of the
citizens fed South and the others calmly sub
mtted. So it has been with every Southern
town and city, and even the people of Rich
mond made every preparation to run away
and some actually fed while the fighting was
progressing along the Chckahominy, sx-
pecting the capture of the city as q matter
Of course. With our citizens, however, the case
has been widely different. Instead of prepar-
ing for fight we prepare for fight. When Gin
cinnati was threatened the people Of Ohio
turned out en- mdsse, armed with shot and
squirrel guns, and finding that the rebels did
not make the attack, they went over to Ken
lucky to look for the enemy. When Pennsyl-
vania was threatened, the people rushed i'm
petuOusly to arms, and Governor Curtin has
now an immense army of militia along the
border. Thus, the rebels have discovered
that they cannot invade us as we have in
vaded them, and tina: we have larger
armies at home than any we have hitherto
placed in the field. If these home armies take
the aggressive they will overrun the South like
a food. This is what is meant when we de-
clare that if our Northern soldiers cannot bring
back the South into the Union, the North will
60 down into Dixie and do the work herself.

also came in at the peril ct their lives by
lodging the enemy in the swamps. Arms
were placed in their hands, and the town is in
as good a state for defence as is possible under
our straitened circumstances,
3Ist. Some skrmishing took place to-day
but the enemy were very cautious. Arrived,
Lieut. Ogden and 81 men of our regiment from
the Cape, which cheered us very much. In
teligence continues to arrive Of an increase OF
the rebel force, but the tendency of most of
them is to leave for Arkansas.
August let party of men is in number, with
three wagons under Job Warren, were sen'
out west to obtain forage for horses; on then
return they were ambushed by some 200 Of
the Bushwhackers, and after a short fight our
men were either all wounded or captured, two
men taken prisoners. Job Warren died OF
his wounds on the evening of the LIST, and one
Of the State Militia on the evening Of the second
of wound through the bowels. Lieut.. Ogden
having left wagon with ammunition at the
Whitewater distant 35 miles party of 30
men under Lieut. Hillard were sent out after
it, they returned on the evening of the second,
with part of the ammunition, the balance
had returned to the Cape before the party got
there Reinforcements arrived from Green
vile on the second, of the State Militia, they
staid one night and returned in the morning.
August Sd, Lieut.. Ogden and command
started for Cope Girardeau with ali the contra
band stock under his care, aud which had been
complete nuisance here AT 8 o'clock a SOL
dier's burial was given to Job Warren, and
many tear was dropped to his memory. The
siege of this place appears to-day to be aban-
doned, and no enemies appear to be II sight
During all the trying scenes through which
we have passed for the last seven days, Capt.
Hyde has earned, and merits the highest praise
that can be bestowed upon commanding or
ficer, always at his post, and firm in the dis
charge of his duty. Lieutenants billiard ana
johnson, each in their respective positions no.
bly, seconded their superior. The non-com-
missoned officers displayed GOODNESS, and
daring in the discharge of their various duties,
worthy of veterans; and every private soldier
of our gallant little band has earned impensh-
able laurels The honor of our common coua-
try, and Old Wisconsin has been gallantly
sustained. 1t is hoped that the disposition
manifested here to defend the honor OF the
Old Flag has weakened the knees of our secesh
friends, and completely satisfied them that it is
utterly impossible to force this State out of the
Union. The siege was found to be abandoned
to-day. Sergeant Spencer of Co. d, went out
with party in the night four miles on foot
and captured four secesh prisoners one OF
whom is of importance, and brought them to
quarters, and thus ended the memorable sieg
of Bloomfield.

LITTLE EDDIE.
Inscribed to 3h.. and Mrs. Eaeoard Balm.

Pale, and still, and cold, he's lying
Little Eddie, lying dead;
No more moaning, no more signing,
Pain, and sickness, now are fed.
He is sleeping, sweetly sleeping,
And the angels guard him well
But the weeping, bitter weeping,
And the anguish, who can tell.
Oft hearts bowed down with sorrow,
Grief that flows not out with tears,
Grief that dies not with the morrow,
But must still live on for years.
Is there comfort? Is there healing
For the stricken hearted, here?
Listen to a sweet voice stealing
Softly, now, upon the ear;
''Come to me, ye heavy laden,
Come, and 1 will give ye rest"
will help you bear your burden;
will heal the wounded breast.'
Thus speaks He, our elder Brother,
Knowing all our griefs, AID fears.
Mourning father, mourning mother,
He will wipe away your tears.
Little feet left to your guiding,
Night, He feared, have gone astray;
Now, by the still waters gliding,
They will follow HIS, Away.
Little voice tuned to earth-singing,
Would have learned discordant notes,
Now, i'll perfect music, ringing,
Through the air of Heaven, it floats.
With meekness, o, then cry, 'content,
Our love was well divided.
The sweetness followed where he went,
The anguish stayed where we did.
Well done of God, to halFe the lot,
And give him al! the sweetness;
To US, the empty room and cot,
To him, the Heavens completeness.
Tous, his graye--to him, the rows
That mystic palm-trees spring in.
To US, the silence in the house,
To him, the choral singing"
koiier love will have its birth,
While faith this hope has given;
That though your Eddie's lost on earth,
He still is yours in Heaven.
ONE WHO WEEPs, WITH THOSE THAT WEEP.

THE SPIRIT OF SEvENTY-S REVIVED. AN
incident occurred in this city on Tuesday which
shows that the old spirit Of the revolution still
burns in our country.
A gentlemen Of this city, sixty-two years old,
who formerly resided near Goshen, in the State
of New York, has raised family CT five sons
and TWO daughters. Three OF these sons are
now in the field fighting tor the Union. The
two daughters are married ana reside mere, at
fardinp q home for their widowed father, and
their husbands are known as among the best
business men in the city.
Recently the old gentleman quietly enlisted
IN the volunteer service, but when he came be-
fore the Board of Examiners his age excluded
IN, tom tbe ranks Nothing daunted, but
oboo,ined. he proceeded to baroar-shop and
GaSbis white hair and whiskers dyed a Jet black
en- there to a recruiting station, where he
enlisted and was swoFe 1n-then went home
and to bed, without attracting the attention OF
a. family TO his disguised Appearance. Next
morning, when his son .in-law first saw him, he
hardly knew him. and rallied him on his i'm
proved and youthful appearance, and inquired
If he was going to enlist.
II have enlisted already" said the old man
proudly; land have been sworn in"
Matters began to look serious TO the son-in-
law Representation was III vain so the son
offsred to shut up business, shoulder his mus

ranks

Fierce Tornado ON the Plains.
From the Denver City News.l

On the Oath ultimo occurred one of those ter
rible storms, which, thank God, are but seldom
known even in this longitude. A. & P. By
rams train of twenty four wagons was caught
in the midst of one of these scourees of the
plains about eight miles west of Lillian Springs,
at three o'clock p. m. 1t lasted twerty.eight
minutes. Thirteen of the wagons had time to
get corraled before it struck the train nine of
the remainder We're upset, though laden with
iron and other heavy freight, Much of the
freight, such as dry goods, books, &c, was
very much injured. The ferceness ofthe wind
surpassed anything of the kind the narrator the
wagon MASTERY had ever seen in an experience
OF eight years on the plains as wagon master for
Majors, Russell & Waddell. The hail fell Ike
a torrent, and at the end of the storm the
ground was covered a foot deep. The men ali
say that if it had lasted fifteen minutes longer
many of the teamsterS would have been frozen
to death, as they were clad lightly in summer
clothing. Three of the men were hurt nv the
hail stones and thoroughly chilled-almost fro
Zen by the terrible cold-who had to be left
back at Lillian Springs Some of them who
were at the head of their teams were nnable IN
reach their wagons but had to succumb to the
violence of the storm and follow its direction
taking them some distance towards the blnffs
others dropped on the ground, the tempest ra
glng all around and above them. Some of the
wagon covers were perfora ed by little holes
others torn into shreds and ribbons. The cat
tie were badly punished but no disaster fatal
to any of the stock occurred Several OF the
wagons had to be left behind, being 80 much
injured as unable to make the journey.
