MARYLAND.-It is reported, both from
Union and secession sources, that Mary

South. Congressional emancipationists
are said to have made rebel sympathizers
out of Union men, in the Legislature and
out of it. Some of the first men of the
State, heretofore the most loyal, have
been driven into the rebel ranks by the
impoltic course of the Administration,

the indignant language of an honest Re-

MR.. SEWARD IN REPLY TO THE
RESOLUTIONS OF THE CONGRE-
GATIONAL CONVENTION.

Our readers will remember the resolutions
passed by the General Congregational Con-
yention Of Vermont, at Norwich last month.
rendering to the President and his associates
the hearty support and confidence OF tie
Congregational Ministers and Churches of
the State, approving the course of the Gov
eminent in freeing itself from completely
with slavery, and desiring the President and
Congress to use all their Constitutional pow
ers, for the removal Of that as the principal
exciting cause Of this wicked rebellion. The
resolutions were duly forwarded to Wash
ington, and the Presidents reply, by the Sec
rotary Of State, has been receivcd-for a copy
of which we are indebted to Rev C. E. Fer
rim, the Moderator Of the Convention.

reception OF your note Of the 23l Of June, accom-
panied by a cory Of resolutions which were unau.
imously adopted by the General Convention Of
Congregational Ministers and Churches recently
assembled a; Norwich.
In compliaucs with your request, these resolu-
tious have been submitted to the President of the
United States
am instructed to express his cordial thanks for
the ASSURANCES Of confidence and support thus ten
dered to bin by body SO desarvedly resrected and
50 widely influential as the Congregational Church
Of Vermont. The President is deeply impressed
by the fervent snd hopeful patriotism and benevo-
lence which rervaie the resolutions. 1t is the
Union and the Constitution Of this country which
are at stake in the present unhappy strife, but
that Union is not mere stringent political bad,
nor is that Constitution lifeless or spritess po-
iiticll tody. The Union is the guaranty Of per-
petual peace and prosperity to the American peo-
pie, ami the Constitution is the ark Of civil and
religious liberty for all classes and conditions Of

within the States Of Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas and Arkar sas, may, in orderly manner,
seize and use any property, real or personal which
NAV be necessary or convenient for their several
commands as supplies or for other military pur-
poses, and that while property may be destroyed
for proper military objects none shall be destroyed
in wantonness or malice.
S,con9 That military and naval commanders
shall employ as laborers within and from said
States so many persons Of African deseen; as can
be advantagecusy used for military or naval pur-
poses, giving them reasonable wages for their
lAbors.
Third That as TO both property and persons Of
African descent accounts shall be kept sufficient
ly accurate and in detail to show quantities and
amounts, ana from whom both property and such
persons shall have come, basis upon which
COMPENSATION can be made in proper cases; and
the several departments OF this government shall
attend to and perform their appropria:e parts to-
wards the execution of these orders.
By order Of the President.
Secretary Of War.
This would seem at first blush to be a very
unnecessary order. By the first principles
of war, the property of the enemy may be
seized and used for military purposes and
as general rule military commanders need
ing laborers in the service, take them when
they can get them, without regard to de-
scent, or color of eyes, hair or skin. But it
is not such a superfuous regulation as it
might seem to be to a distant observer. On
the contrary the circumstances of this
strange contest have made this reiteration of
the most obvious principles Of warfare, most
important and necessary. Not that there
has been no seizure of enemy's property or
employment Of African llborers, but there
has been no rule on the subject. Too many
of our generals have gone on the theory that
we were not ,0aging tcdr on desperate and
INSCRIPTIONS enemy but simply making
bear the arm of the law before the eyes OF
erring brothers, who were to be won by for
bearance. and whose property was to be pro-
tected. at the expense Of our own.
So as to the blacks, hitherto, one General
welcomes them to his camp and uses them
for military purposes almost as freely as do
the rebels themselves. Another will not
even admit them within his lines though
they come with offers of willing muscles and
needed intelligence. This strange variance
is henceforth to cease. Our Generals are bid
to take notice that War is WAR. They are
to subsist their armies, as far as possible,
on the enemy, and to take help from loyal
men where they can get it, without distinc-
ton of race and color. This common sense
policy once fairly inaugurated, and We may
hope that the preponderance of resources
and power on our side will tell as 1t should
on the result. We are more than twice as
strong as the rebels, and We shall whip them
as soon as we are half as much in earnest.
