he rode along, soldiers were heard to say,
"therc goes the traitor who delivered us over

IMMEDIATE EMANCIPATION.

The Union State Central Committee held
a meeting in Baltimore last week, and adopt
cd resolutions in favor of immediate Eman-
cipaticn in this State. Hon Thomas Swami,
Chairman of the Committee, delivered a
lengthy address, and offered q series Of reso-
lutions in favor of immediate emancipation,
ms did also the Hon John ?. Kennedy, Will
liam Price, Esq, Grayson EichleberScr,
States Senator from Frederick county, Col.
Berry of Montgomery County, and other
influential Union men Of the State were
present and delivered addresses in unison
with the sentiments of the resolutions. A
letter was also read from Tx Governor Hicks
in ii he endorses the action Of the Committee.
of which he had previously been apprised.-
On cof the resolutions Of the two series
adopted read as follows:
"Rcsolved, That this Committee will favor
"the call Of convention, through the
"agecny Of the Legislature about to assemble
"at the earliest practicable day compatible
"with the Constitution and laws of the State,
"and tho adoption by said Convention of
"some plan of immediate Emancipation, as
,"besl calculated to subserve both the inter-
"ests of the State and the holders Of slave
''propcry in tho present condition of a(-
'lairs."
We are highly gratifcd to perceive that
the difference which has heretofore existed
between the Union men Of The State upon
this question has been removed, and that
they have again become Of one mind. The
policy of Emancipation is now the settled pol
icy Of the State and the only question cons
nected with it is, as TO how it can be carried
into effect with the least inconvenience and
expense to the people. With such iar-s
ing statesmen as Swami, Davis, Kennedy
Hicks and others at the head of tho loyal
men Of the State, we Lave no doubt but
that the abolition Of slavery will he accom-
pished in a speedy and satisfactory manner.

CUMBERLAND, Dec 16, 1868.
GENTLEMEN: You no doubt saw in the
Baltimore papers few weeks since par
, agraph stating that Mrs. Semmes and her
daughter had been arrested by one of the
! Government detectives, upon the charge of
giving wines dragged with poisons to the
| invalid soldiers a. the Government hospital
near Baltimore; and further stating that the
| said Mrs Scmmcs was either the mother-in-
law or an aunt of the notorious Capt Sem.
mes, of the Alabama. ! had supposed that
the editors whose papers had given crcula-
ton to this paragraph. so soon as they as
certained that the author of the paragraph
was altos ether mistaken as to the parties ar
rested, and that there was no relationship
whatever between them and Capt. Semmcs,
would gladly have circulated a contradiction
ofthe paragraph. But they have not thought
proper to do this, having it to be inferred
that they are willing to 6 We coun enance to
any malignant falsehood, if in its tendency
it may add to the public hatred against my
brother. The privileges which the preAs
seems to feel itself at liberty to take IN
! traducing tho the reputation Of public men
who are not its favorites of the hour are
used SO reckiessly that it is true they opcr-
ate as an antdotc to the viper's poison and
used no other treatment than silent contempt
but who that is not devoid of honor, that
had ever given circulation to the statement
affecting Capt Semmes and his kindred,
contained in the above paragraph, especially
if the editor of a newspaper, that would not
on the discovery of his mistake, have been
prompt to publish its contradiction?

rG29We have had an opportunity during the
past week, of conyersing with many Repub-
licans, and of ascertaining the feeling through
out the County. We are pleased to see the
disposition manifested to uphold the standard
of Republican principles against the attacks Of
our opponents, and the diSorganzing and CO.
vert assaults of pretended friends. The spirit
of the party is fully aroused They are awak-
ing to a sense of the danger which threatens
US from the designs of the Democratic leaders,
as foreshadowed by the revelations Of Lord
LYONS. The pretended loyalty OF those who
are only awaiting favorable moment to clam
or for dishonorable peace, no longer deceves
any one Their hypocrisy is too apparent ::
and their purpose obnoxious to the people.
From every township we hear the most
cheering reports. The honest supporters Of
the Peoples ticket last fall are fast becom,
ing satisfied that the movement was under the
control, and made for the benefit of the De-
mocracy, and are determined hereafter to vote
in such manner as shall best advance their
principles, and not give their aid to carry out
schemes Of personal aggrandizement or graf

issue there. A despatch from Cairo last night
says that according to the Memphis Bulletin
jackson is already invested, and that the reb,
els have no way of getting out of Vicksburg
but by cutting their way through The national

not to be forescen o. prevented by human sa

out general battle was an evidence of the
implicit confidence Of the army in itself and of
fidelity to the principles it represents. The
Army Of the Potomac will be the guardian OF
its own history-by its recent movement it
has added new laurelS to its former renown ::
it has made long macches, crossed rivers, sar,

inflicted heavier wounds than it has received
