MARYLAND FREED.-They have had a grand
ball lately in Richmond, according 10 female
secession authority in Baltimore, at which
Miss Hetty Carey, one of the pretty dauuh-
ters OF Mr.. Wilson Carey, prominent seces-
sionist, teacher of that city, figured most CON.
spicuously. The story goes that she appeared
at the ball dressed as u captive slave, with her
hands tied at the wrists, and bearing the
shield of Maryland on her bosom, indicating
thereby the chains by which that State is kepi
in the Union. jeff Davis came forward du.
ring the evening and released her manacleG
hands, by untying the cords that bound hel
wrists, and thus, in the person Of the lovely
Miss Hetty Carey, freed Maryland from bel
bondage to the Union power, amid the stormy
applause Of the company. Miss Carey and
enc of her sisters are earning livelihood al
clerks in the Confederate Administration. -
This event has created the most intense de-
light aud sympathy in the upper crust Of Sc.
cessondom.

A SWIM FOR LIFB.---Isast night Lieut..

teers, and now Governor Of Fort Wool, un-
dertook a little advance movement" on his
own account, which came near proving as dis
astrous to him it did, in fact, to three Of his
men who were with him. He took a small
boat with four men and landed on the rebel
shore. leaving one man TO guard the boat
while the rest went on a little excursion. The
rebel picket of twenty or thirty men made its
appearance when the boat hastily left with its
sole occupant, not waiting for the gallant
Colonel or his guards. Halliday separated
from the others, came to the beach, and, not
finding his boat, took to the water and swqm
to He Rip Raps, two miles distant, with strong
tide running. He reached the fort in safety,
having been in the water from | to 4 o'clock

less fell into the hands of the rebels. His
own escape was plucky and fortunate, but bis
trip was made without authority. Fort Hon

Why THE MONITOR DOES NOT FOLLOW
UP THE MERRIMAo.--Some surprise has
been expressed why the Monitor, if as impreg-
nable as claimed, does not boldly push into
Norfolk harbor, and engage the Merrimac at
her moorings. If the following, from the n.
Y. Commercial is true, there has been one
good reason, il no more:.
The channel Of the Elizabeth river siAked out
with sples that clear channel Of from 70 to 90 feet
only lef by which Norfolk could be approached.-
just beyond the mouth Of the river the Germantown
moored with springs upon her cable and ready for in
slant movement. The ship prepared by boring,
that she could be sunk in Ave minutes after the valve
ropes drawn The plan was in case the Morrimac
pursued 10 let her pursuers pass in and then swing
the Germantown the channel and sink her, thus
placing impassabe barrier to the escape OF the pur
suing vessel.

young man named Smith died at Walcottvile,
Conn, from wounds contracted in the battle
at Newborn He was in three battles, and
was wounded at Newbern by shot through

his death. In the battle at Newbern he was
providentially saved by woman who accom-
panied her husband into the army. Finding
her husband was determined to go, she said
" go with you to take care of you and help
you to fight the battles She dressed her
self in the true Bloomer costume, and with
MIME rife in hand she went into the fight,
and was in three battles-the last at New
bern. When finding her husband missing
she went in pursuit, and in her travels found
young Smith lying in low ground. apparently
dead, but on turning him over found shat he
had life. She gate him some cordialss he re-
vived. and she sent for an ambulance and car

In publishing the former communication

ceiying the above rejoinder which has laid up
on our table for some two weeks, we chose
to ascertain who manned the masked battery.
before we allow him further space in our
columns, Having received the necessary in
formation, we embrace the first opportunity
to insert his second letter, and in so doing
must notice some few points in it,
IT A." has mistaken US when he says
'your whole argument seems to be based on
"the assumption that the General Govern
"ment is restricted by constitutional guaran-
"tees from touching Slavery, for the reason
"that there are some siavehoides get loyal to the
Union" and then proceeds to argue as to
what may legally be done under the war
power. We take no issue with "T A." as
to the right of the military authorities to
emsncipate the slaves in the rebellious terri
tory which the army occupies. We only re-
ject the theory that it can be done under the
Constitution by the civil authorities. But
supposing the military authority should
emancipate all the slaves as our al my adyanc-
es, so soon as the loyal State Government is
restored, as it must be or there is no restora-
ton Of the Union, there is no power save in
the State itself to prevent the immediate re-
establishment of the system OF slavery in
any State where the slaves have thus been
emancipated. The rebellious States, If they
ever again take their place in the Union,
must do so under the same local laws that ex-
listed when the act of secession nominally
took them ont of the Union, unless the in
habitants of those States see fit 10 change
those laws. If they prefer to return to their
allegiance, still retaining all their local in
stitulions, Slavery included, there is no pow
er in the Constitution of the United States to
prevent their so doing. Under any other in
terpretation of the Constitution there can be

rights, and is only resorted to by those who
seek to overthrow those rights. The word it,
self implies "a state Of being moved with
violence, or with irregular action" though
often used in the sense Of discussion" We
never deprecated the discussion and enforce
ment Of all constitutional measures against the
evils Of slavery, or its extension into territory
now free. We only reject the hot-headed
"agitation" Of unconsurutional and unwise
measures against the institution where it is
the creature Of local law, and where all such
agitation could never reach it. "Agita-
ton" indeed Happy the day when "agita-
ton" shall give way to calm deliberation,
and when men shall not arrogate to them
selves all the righteousness in the land, and
parcel out all the unrightecusness to their
fellow men.
