gentlcnan. Who is reported to entertain
Secession procliyities. who has. recently
been prisoucr On the other side Of the
line, speaks Of . conversation with an OH
Ger Of the Rebel army, in which he was
coo6dentially informed that the purpose oi
the Invasion of Maryland vas 70 raise the
old Stars and Stripes, and 10 call upon the
people Of both the North and South to aid
the army Of General Lee in subverting the
preset Administration, and Restoring the
Union and the Constitution He says that
this idea vas promulgated officially through
the Rebel army. and tina, its announce
ulent revived the hopes aud spirits Of the
men. and filed them with more enthusi-
asm than had as any tune before been ex-
hibited.
If these representations are true, it 10
evident that the leaders Of the Rebellion
are convinced that their original pro-
gramme il complete failure. and. like
willy politicians. they are ready now to
undo all they have donc-to trample un-
der their own feet the Constitution Of the
so-called Confederate States and the new
Gag they have attempted to introduce.
Asnd to cutter the arena as an armed politi-
cal organisation. for the purpose Of. work
lug odi revolution which they l:sse been
unable to effect by the simple force Of
arms.
There ID reason to believe that this
modification Of the Rebel programme is
not without aiders aud abettOrs in the
North, and that there is danger that the
whole character of the Rebellion and the
War for the Union may be completely
changed. The effort now seems 10 be
to combine all the elements Of hostility
North and South. against the radical Abo-
lition agi'ators, and, instead Of foreign in-
tervention, or an attempt to maintain the
integrity Of the so-called Southern Con-
federacy, we may expect next to hear Of
an organized effort to bring the Radicals
Of New-England to their senses. aud CON-
pei them to support the Union. Instead Of
denouacing it. aud to maintain the Con-
stitution. instead Of trampling upon it as =
covenant with hell.
Whispers Of leading politicians here Of
every stripe indicate that We are standing
now upon the brink Of political volcano.
that may at any moment burst upon the
country and overthrow il with the flames
Of anarchy and confusion. The signs Of
the times are pregnant with great events.
more important to the future welfare of the
nation than the great battles which are

NEW REVOLUTIONARY MOVE.

There have been frequent indications Of
late that the Rebel leaders are heartily
tired OF their attempt to organize an inde-
pendent Confederacy. They are we'll con-
WINGED that. under existing circumstance,
thar is little hope Of obtaining recogui-
ton Of their independence as nation from
European Powers. They see, also, that
their resources are exhausted. and that .
single defeat. at this stage Of the game,
would bring upon them irretrievable ruin
and disgrace.
From several sources. II has been init.
mated. that they are anxious to abandon
the independent nationality programme,
and to proclaim themselves the friends OF
the Union and the Constitution. Ii was

10 the People Of .M,ryla"l:
1t is right that you should know the
purpose that has brought the army under
my command within th. limits Of y"u,
State, SO far as that purpose concerns
yourselves.
The people of the Confederate States
have long watched with the deepest SYM
patty the wrongs aud outrages that have
been long inflicted upon the citizens of
Commonwealth allied to the South by the
strongest social, political and commercial
ties.
They have seen With profound indigna-
ton their sister State deprived Of every
right, and reduced to the condition Of .
conquered province.
Under the pretence Of supporting the
Cunstituti IN. but in violation Of its most
valuable provisions. your citizens have
been arrested and imprisoned upon no
charge. aud contrary to al forms Of law; ;
the faithful aud manly protest against this
outrage made BY the venerable and illus
trious Marylander to whom in better days
no citizen appealed for right in vain. was
treated with scorn and contempt; the gov
eminent of your chief city has been usur.
ped BY armed strangers; your Legislature
has been dissolved by the unlawful arrest
of its members; freedom of the press aud
Of speech has beeu suppressed; words have
been declared offences by an arbitrary
decree Of the Federal Executive, and citi-
zens ordered to be tried by = military
commission for what they may dare to
speak.
Believing that the People Of Maryland
possessed a spirit too lofty 70 submit to
such q government. the people Of the
South have long wished to aid you in
throwing off this foreign yoke. to enable
you again to enjoy the inalienable rights
Of freemen, and restore independence and
sovereignty to your State.
In obedience to this wish, our Army
has come among you. and is prepared to
assist you with the power of its arms in
rcgaining the rights of which you have
been dcspnilei.
This, Citizens of Maryland, is our mis-
sion. SO far as you are concerned.
No constraint upon your free will is in
tended; no intimidation will be allowed.
Within the limits Of this army. At least.
Marylanders shall once more enjoy their
ancient freedom Of thought and speech.
We know no enemies among you. aud
will protect al Of every opinion.
It is for you to decide your destiny.
freely aud without constraint
This army will respect your choice.
whatever It may be. and while the South
ern people will rejoice to welcome you to
your natural position among them. they
will only welcome you when you come Of
your OWL free will.

Who is Hrs. Winsl0w

As this question is frequently asked
we shall simply say that she is a lady
who for upwards of thirty years has I'M
tirngIy devoted her time and talents as
a female physician and nurse, principally
among children. She has especially
studied the constitution and wants OF this
numerous class, so generally overlooked
or carelessly treated by the faculty in too
many instances and, as a result of this
effort and practical knowledge, obtained
/ IN lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
elan, she has compounded a Soothing
Syrup for children teething. 1t oper-
ateS ike magic-giving rest and health,
and Is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article
Mrs. Ninslow is becoming world re-
nowned as a benefactor of the race
children certainly DO RISE UP and bless
her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. II
has got 10 be common remark, II had
rather depend on Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup for my children, than 10 have
the united advice of the medical faculty
of the city We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortalized her name by this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands Of children have been saved
from an early grave by its timely use,
and that millions yet unborn will share
its benefits, and unite in calling her
blessed, No mother has discharged her
duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the bene-
fit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
Try it, mothers-try it now.-Lddies'
