A FRAUD EXPOSED.

SO many journals seem to consider IL 'he
chief end of their being to hear false witness
against TIRE TpIBUNE-seyeral having pro-
claimed the ov, throw or neutrslzios OF tie
influence of this journal a. sne main purpose
of their estsblishnent-that We seldom can
spare the room required to expose their knave"
ries. Thus Paris correspondent recently
spoke ironically of the doctrines current in
Courts aud Cabinets respecting war, as cen
trastsd with those Of the Prince Of Peace, aud
part of what he said, wrencbed from it.,
context, is paraded through tue Pro-Slavery
journals as an exhibition Of The TRIDUNE's
contempt for Christianity the meaning OF the
sentence having been just opposite to that thus
forced upon it.
The Utica Obserrer recently started the ca
lumny that THE TRIBUNE had said Of Q
Democratic Member of Congress:
IF hs .res open hi. trsorous mouth IN Congress for
promise the .eps OF the Chamber viii DC crmsoned with

and this statement, greedy caught up by The
AHany iIgus, has gone the rounds Of their
affiliated deiamers. Confident that no such
sentiment was ever uttered by us, We have
looked through our files for q month "just
4" before the opening Of the present session OF
" Congress" where The ObSerrer said the
above appeared, but could find uothing that
looked like such threat on our part. But a
friend who keeps the run of such things has
enabled us TO trace out the foundation OF this
new libel, and it stands thus:
On tie Sd of July last, when Washington wac
filed witt traitors aud al bu. surrounded by
armed rebels Ben. Wood, NJ. {. from this
city, was printing Newspaper here (aiterward
suppressed by the Gosernment) which was de.
voted to the most unbldshiDg advocacy of the
Rebel cause. One of our Washington cores.

in progress before Yorktown, We have, ON n
much larger scale, the repetition of the siege
of I7sl. to result, we cannot doubt, in like
mauner-in the triumph of Liberty over its
encmies.
On the 2-th of September, l7Sl Gen. Wash
inQton marched from Williamsburg, on the
peninsula between the james and York Rivers,
for the even then old Yorktown. He was ac-
compnned by Rochambeau, Chatelleux Du

already in advance, and the Count dc Grassc

TIE allied army, including militia amounted TO
about l6, 600 men. The English army did not
number more than $500.
The main body of tue English, unde' Lord
CoruwalIls, was encamped in the open ground
around the town, within u range Of outer re-
doubts aud feld.works calculated to command
the peninsula, while detachment of Go or
700 men hsld Gloucester Point, projecting from

Gloucester side for the purpose OF keeping W
a rigorous l0ckaGe, which, after sharp skir

they made no further attempt to interrupt.
On tue night of Oct. 6, the first parallel wa

The Benefits of Advertising.


One OF the most extensive and successful
manufacturers and sellers of fine wares in

The "Unionism" Most Needed Now,

The only Unionism that will stand the
tost now is that which, retraining from carp.
ing and fiercely criticizing the Government, =,
stands by it with every resource which can
be had to sustain it in the great conflict
which is coming to a crisis. Considering
the tremendous Issues, the need for every
element Of strength, lot every quarrel be
postponed to some future period and aoth
ing be thought of now but how best to save
the country. Glancing towards Washing.
ton, and knowing how many eminent mil.
itary men and statesmen are at pres
ent in council TO extricate the nation from it's
peril, we must have faith in them and IN the
President, in the ability as well as the pa
trictlsm OF all. 1t is easy, aftcr events have
occurred, aftor battles have been fought and
disasters suffered. to arraign this or that
policy as responsible for losses and disap-
pointments; but this spirit will not save the
nation from further evils and losses, and
may even precipitate them.
IL may seem patriotic or wise or spirit
ed, in times like the present, to read our
rulers savage homilies on the line of their
duties; but our Judgment teaches us that
II they cannot be warned by ereats---eyents
the most startling and signal that can hap.
pen In the history Of nation-nothing else
will avail-thoy would mot be persuaded
though ono arose from the dead"
At all events, whilst wo would not ''cry
peace peace when there is no peace" we
shall never be found comforting the euemy
by. untimely or eager structures upon our
rulers. and casting a shadow upon the Union
cause by doubts OF its success. We believe
In Il fully, completely, dcterminateiy. We
have never supposed that conflict of the
tremendous proportions this has assumed,
and conducted by mon of great ability,
whose lives and everything else is at stake
in their infamous assault upon free govern
ment would be brought to successful con.
clusion without some reverscs TO be suffered
BY those who have and arc. oppasing them
but we are not OF those 10 cry out and be.
moan such temporary reverse, but would
meet It rather with new determination and
courage and oonstancy.
That is our Unionism, and such il has
been from the commencement of this great
conflict, and .suoh-if we understand it.
is the Unionism Of the people Of Maryland.
