 4 Reign of Terror.
 There is a reign of terror in the domin- ions of Lincoln 'the jGrSt, y as he is not in' aptly styled by some of our contemporaries. In the manufacturing districts, and at com mercial points ali over the North and East, unmstakable terror prevails, at the gloomy prospects ahead, while in the agricultural districts ot the West, the products of the farm find no market for the vast surplus of grain and stock which is now on hand, and which sees no outlet for . market. Here, as in the \ North and East, though net IT, 2 dread famine, despair prevails, and gloomy forebodings that the war will impoverish the West, are beginning to make an i'm press upon the minds of the people. But this 'reign of terror" presents more as' poets thanaaone. Upon the manufacturing, commercial. agricultural, and financial m- terest8 of Lincolns domiuions, it is seen and felt, so that ''he who runs may read it' iu the face ot every one, ae we'll as in ths public journals; ant in the official acts Of Lincoln himself. Perhaps the best evi- dence that can be alduued of it's almost universal prevalence is the fact that hrlp- less omen have been seized and cast into prison, while men have been tom from their families in scores and "LQ Foyetted' upon suspicion of hostility to the Lincoln government, Terror has seized the cabi- net, else no such deeds, t iS reasonale to snppose. would have been done. lntluenc- cd by the drea | feeling, no respect Is had 10 age or to sex. anu to prison are daily consigned helpless women. who are suppo1. ell to, or who lO in fact symPathtse with the South. Recently, we see it stated in q northern press that three mare prisoners have ueed sent 10 the female prison in Washington, where Mrs. Creenhow was incarcerated. Two Of these ladies were from Washington. and tho other Mrs. Baxley from Baltimore The-nortbein press gloat over the arrest of this glorious woman, and the Washington correspondent of one of them, the Philadelphia Press, with evi- dent satisfaction, thus refers to it. She was arrested, he says, "while trying to make her way through our lines across the river, and not upon the Old Point boat, as the papers state. She IS an uhmittigated rebel, and cheered lustily for Jeti Davis and the Southern ConGederacy. 4 poram- bulating gentleman, one ofthe organic mus icai persuasion, happening 10 be in the vi- cinity of the prison, the highly excited fe- male rebel in state of incarceration threw the said musical amateur the sum of !sQ shillings, and requested him to strike up Dixie. But under the application of a threatened baYonet charge from the grim Se,tiuel, who keeps natch and ward over the involuntary inmates he re;iaated, not, however, without securing the price of his unaarned seruces. and amii the eXecra, ions oi the tpnelass female. Alter nights rc- tlectiDn har passion became molN,ad and tile next morning she .ya7 found hGohei in tears, and willing to accept tho preferred food which she had 50 porsistently refused since her capture, two days before. r
 The hea'tless scoundral! Had fe no word of sympathy for 2uch woman2 May the day an't the hour come when vengeance will be mete4 upon the autho. of that no- Jle woman's arrest. and upon those who have made themselves merry over 1t.
 file other two ladlee arrested were ''tak on before the provost marshal to obtain their statements" an1 1t is said they viii probably De released Nov these l2lies re sided in Washington, a,d II thsr state l1euts only were wanted, wLy did not the provost marshal call upon them, instead, first, of sending them to prison?
 With regard to Mrs. Groonhow, this same correspondent says that "Aer physi- c;aas pronounced her monomaniac." If so, why has not Lincoln released her. and. sent her to her'lriends? But it is Hei- The hrmness and heroism which size has displayed have maddened her oppressors, and while they pronounce her monoman- iac, they still hold her person, and >aLjeot the nuhaqPy lai'y to dopriyasions and ex- posures that would send many determined man to some lunatic asylum. And why is this, if terror did not dwell in ,ha heart of Lincoln and his daStarlilY emiosarioS.
 Tn Baltimore toe, "this reign oi teYror" has it's sway. Women oaonrylng the high est eooia position, have been arrested and cast inco prison. Arrogance and iusoence mark the soId'ery of Lincoln, ant every means are usel to abuse anI mstreat those who are suspected of heiaG sy.npathiters uith me ,,outh Poor'down-trodden Hit morrl Unhappy Marylanll Betrayed in- to the hands ot tbo enemy, yon have suffer- ed from his oppression. watle your betray aIa 4ii tue itsh places, anA riot iA their treacheryl Bnt the day will soon come, when the opprssor shall fly from yoar des- eerated city and soil, eal w hen your hotray. CTS sha'i go forth with brand as indelible as Gains npon their brows, or else hang for their black treachery. Csod grant that we may soon see the sun of that day rise when the vengeance which awaits | hem shall overtake ana destroy them!
