THE expectation Of the rebels to recruit
their columns largely from the secession eIe
ment Of Ma, yand, were doomed to utter
disappointment. A few joined them and
these few signi6ed their zeal by their abuse
of Union Citizens. These zealots will find,
-many Of them have already found that
they have made a most deplorable invest
ment Of their "sympathies" in the rebel
stock. A day Of reck koRing, fearful and
overwhelming, will speedily come, when
those traitors, Of Maryland will reap the full
harvest of their treason, in the whirlwind
Of relribution that Is gathering around
then. For them there is neither apology
or exienuation, and there will be neither
nesey nor pardon when the sword of retii
buliye justice is unsheathed against them
and their crimes.

WAR NEWS.

The latest news is TO Thursday noon.
Harper's Ferry was occupied but briefly
by the rebels, so briefly that they were un.
able to secure the plunder taken. a
severe battle took place at Sharpsburg on
Tuesday, in which the lighting is represent
ed as terrific, and the rebels as hard press
cd The rebel Gen. LongstTcet is wounded
and prisoner. Gen. Hooker is wounded
in the foot The rebels seem. from all that
xc can gather from the news, to be unable
to stand before the itnpetuosily OF oul
forces, aud ave compelled to give way in
almost every encounter. The is prompt
ness to meet them, and to take advantage
of their folly in having crossed the river,
aud to prevent their return without punish
ment. Things lock encouraging, aud We
hope that Mcclellan will do something &c
redeem his famc.
