- The President and his constitutional
advisers and very large proportion of the
leading Unonsts Of the country believe that
Slavery is the melting cause of the present
Rebellion, and that either Slavery Or the Nation
must perish. If they are right, " Common
Sense" whose article we print elsewhere, is
wrong. AID the President and his Cabinet,
and the thousands of able statesmen and patriots
who agree with them, are as likely to be right,
to say the least of it, as our correspondent. If,
then, the policy of Emancipation as enunciated
by the Government is q correct one, and is
necessary for the suppression of the Rebellion
and the preservation Of the Union, all loyal
men should aid in carrying it into effect and
those who cavil and carp at it, and raise frivol-
ous objections to its impolicy, etc are only
throwing distractions in the way of tho Govern
ment in its prosecution Of the war for the
Union. We think it highly desirable that no
man should be placed in Office by the people of
Maryland who is not willing to strike hands
with the Government in the whole policy deemed
most advisable for securing us speedy and
permanent peace, and for this reason, we hold
it to be the duty Of the Union men of the State
to vote for no candidate for any office who will
not lend all his influence to sustain the Govern
ment in its efforts to suppress the Rebellion
If the Emancipation policy is right and pro-
per, it can not be inaugurated day too soon,
and it is supreme folly to talk about ignoring
or not aeitating, it. Those who favor the whole
policy Of the Government think it essential that
the candidates for Comptroller and Commits
soner of the Land Office, as we'll as the cand.
dates for the Legislature, should be Emancipa-
ticnists, while Common Sense" seems to
insinuate that 80 far as their influence extends
it is immaterial what their peculiar views upon
the subject may be, while it is all-important
that the Union party should not be distracted
and divided. Why. then, don't he and those
who hold with him, quit agtating and try to
harmonize the party by endeavoring to induce
the different factions to unite upon good,
reliable Unconditional Union men favorable to
Emancipation and willing to lot the people dis
cuss and settle the question as to them seems
best

FIGHT.-A letter from William &. Jones,
formerly of this town, who is now on Gen.
Dudley's staff, to his mother and sisters,
from the battle. field in front of Port Hud-
son, says the soldiers are in fine spirits aud
confident of taking that stronghold. Of
the assault on the works on the 9th ult., he
says: g You can never conceive how des.
perate the negroes fought. They are the
bravest set of men ever saw. 1t has com.
pletely settled the question ~iN the Niger

The rebels raised the black flag when they
saw the negro regiments charging on their
works, aud our forces gave three cheers in
return, and rushed over their works, putting
all to death. 1t was blade to blade for over
one hour. Our loss is small in comparison
to theirs"

THE preparations for lighting the
town by gas go on finely. The buildings
for the purpose are rapidly going up the
lamp posts have been planted in the streets !;
the pipe is being LAID, and the hammer of
the s. filter" is heard all the day long in the
houses Of our citizens. The way in which
these g filters y cut and slash - into the
floors and walls rather opens the eyes of
some people who are not acquainted with
the city fashions" The workmcn cncas-
ed have the reputation of being good ones,
and we hope our citizens may be amply
repaid by good and cheap light for the
Inconvenience and uproar consequent on the
lifting. Probably it would be well to
remind the people that it is necessary they
should be careful how they drive along and
walk across the streets at night, as there are
ugly looking places, into which it would not
be at all pleasant to fall.

-" Toadying to the administration, has

to sustaining the Government in ak it's eff.

sore-headed politicians who make loud pro.
fessions of loyalty but carp and cavil at
every act of the Administration which looks
towards vigorous prosecution of the war
and an etfectual crushing out of the Rebel.
lion. But thank God the loyal masses can
no longer be duped or frightened by such
stale and stupid epithcts as are belched out
by demagosucs and knaves. This war
with its stern realities has taught them to
look dispationatcly at things, and to act ac
cordingly. The uncondilionlly loyal men
who are determined to stand up for the
Union and the Flag under all circumstances,
and to prosecute the war until the authority
of the Government is re established in every
State and permanent peace conquered,
cannot be driven from the support of their
country by senseleSs slang or vulgar abuse.

EXTENSIVE THETA case Of ex-
tensive stealing came to light in Elkton on
Monday last. Mr.. Jas. Graham, Cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Elk
ton, Cecil county, had girl by the name of
Elizabeth Cannon (who with the family
came from Kent co., Nd, to Elkton, about
year ago. in his employ as house servant
for several weeks. Some three weeks ago.
some missing articles were discovered in
Eiizabeth's carpet bag, which upon being
accused of the theft, after faint denial,
she produced, acknowledging that she had
appropriated the articles. On Monday last.
colored boy of one Of the neighbours found
piece Of soap and other triAing articles
concealed in Mr.. Graham's lane, near the
house. Being requested to extend his
search, the boy found other concealed
goods. These revelations fully aroused
the suspicious Of the family, and Elizabeth
Cannon was accused of having stolen other
articles that had been missed by the family
This seems to have worked strange pro-
pensiLy in the girl to reveal her guilt, ard
she confessed to have stolen various articles
principally clothing and dry goods. A fin
ger.ring and bracelet, and money to the
amount of fifty dollars were among the
stealings. The stolen property would
amount to several hundred dollars, very
little of which has been recovered. Eliza.
beth accused woman living in Wilmington,
who used to reside in Elkton, by the name
of Shivery, of being an accomplice. This
woman was arrested, and she and the Can.
non girl, who is about thirteen years old,
were committed to Elkton Jail. $50 young
and yet SO vile will we'll apply to Miss
Cannon. She stubornly refuses to reveal
the whereabouts Of the stolen goods, al.
though in, fit of apparent compunction
she, confessed to have stolen the articles,
the greater part OF which had not been
missed until her voluntary confession, re.
vealed the extent Of her operations.

through which any nalion has ever pass.
ed. Eigh, millions Of people have
thrown OF their allegiance and artayed
themselves against The very Government
that has nurlursd, protected and made

veloped itself into mighty rebellion,
the object Of which is to overthrow this
great Government. and build up an aris.
tocracy having slavery for its chief cor.
ner stone. In thei. efforts to accomplish
this, they are encouraged by certain in
dviduals in the loyal States. who are
continually giving them aid and comfort
by impeding the Federal Government in
every manner In which they can.
Now, while our brave, noble and cbiv'
alrous sons are in the field. doing all
that.men can do, by bait ing down the
hordes Of IAitors, we at home. have n
juty 10 perform. and that duty is this :
We must counteract and thWart The
schemes Of the infamous Northern trait
