Incidents Of the Maryland Campaign.

correspondent of the Philadelphia In
quirer, writing from Cham mbersburg, says de-
serter from Jackson's body guard escaped to
that place on Friday night. 1t was Jack IS
purpose, he stated, to invade Pennsylvania.
The cold reception given by the Mary laDders
greatly disappointed the rebels who ex-
pected fifty thousands recruits, and did not
get five hundred. More than that number OF
their own soldiers deserted, and their negro
servants generally ran away.
A detachment of cavalry from Harper's
Ferry rode up to Williamsport and captured
seventy -four prisoners, having in charge a
train of fifty wagons, laden with spoil. Two
or three of the prisoners were Maryla nders,
who had taken the oath of allegiance, and
another was no less person than Cleggett
FitzhUgh, the nephew of the wife of Gerrit
Smith, the celebrated radical aboltionst.
Fitzhugh had just sent his aunt and her chill
dren North for safety, prior to joining the
rebels. Fitzhugh has been engaged in business
for Holker Hughes, an extensive iron monger
of Franklin county, near the Maryland line,
in township called Quincy. He served as
his head clerk. He acquired notoriety as the
man who arrested (in company with Daniel
Logan, a celebrated negro catcher) John E.
Cook, the co-partner and confrere of John
Brown. Cook had escaped, and, taking to the
mountain ranges, had kept them until he
had COTTON within the lines of this State.
Fitzhugh met him when Cook, exhausted for
want of food, ventured down from the noun
tains to seek it. Meeting Fitzhugh, he gave
him the Masonic sign, which the latter return
ed. Cook at once entered into conversation,
and told him who he was, and his condition,
asking for relief. Fitzhugh told him to come
with him. Logan, at given sign from Fitz-
hugh, seized Cook from behind and being a
powerful man, he held Cook fast. Tine latter,
a very nervous, active man, who had hunted
secuted and fought Missouri border ruffians
in Kansas, resisted desperately, and would
have eluded even Logan's grasp had not Fitz-
hugh interfeI ed with them. The force of two
athletic men was too great for Cook, and he
was brought hither, taken to Jail, remanded
by Governor Packer to Virginia and hung.
Logan is said to have often told, as good
joke, among his companions in boon. that
Cook had said to him and Fitzhugh that he
knew he would die, but that they would end
their days on the scaffold. This seems likely
to become true. Fitzhugh is now incarcerated
and is not prisoner of war. Logan is now
under arrest, and, if justice be done. will be
retained and tried, if not for treason. most
probably for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Cook may have prophesied truly.

A COMMON TERM BEAUTIFULLY DEFINED
An old soldier, in appealing lately to lis
son to go and fight for the government and
the Union said aPerhaps you have never
thought what your country means. 1t is all that
surrounds you-all that has brought you up
and fed you-all that you have loved. This
country that you see-these houses. those
trees, those girls who go along there laughing
this is your country! The laws which pro-
tect yoa, the bread which pays your work
the words you interchange with others, the
joy and grief which come to you from the men
and things among which you live-this is
your country! The little room where you
used to see your mother, the remembrances
which she has left you, the earth where she
rests-ths is your country! You see it, you
breath it, everywhere. Think to yourself OF
your rights and duties, your affections and
your wants, your past and your present bles-
sings write them all under single name
and that name will be your country. We owe
it all that we are, and he who enjoys the ad-
vantages of having free country, and does not
accept the burdens of it forfeits his honor, and
is bad citizen. Do for your country what
you would do for your father and mother
Your country is in danger.
