DANGERoUs.-The telegraph informed
US, "A few days ago, that Secretary Stan
ton was forcibly conscripting slaves in
Maryland for soldiers-payiug "loyal" "
men $500, for each, whether they wanted
to sell or not. This has caused great
deal of i'll feeling in Maryland and threat
ems to prove dangerous to the Admins
tratioD, in spite of its numerous garrisons
and informers in every part of the State.
Men, however loyal, dislike to be robbed
of their property. Stanton's procedure
has aroused the indignation even of the
firmest friends of the Administration, and
Gov. Bradford, q Union man and an
emancipationist, thus speaks of it:
was most anxious, therefore, as I still
am, to avert if possible such proceed
ing, for l have no hesitation in saying
that, enforced as it now is, without the
sanction of Congress; by the mere law Of
arms, without precedent in any other
loyal state, and in the absence of any i'm
minent necessity, it is calculated to inflict
irreparable damage upon the Union cause,
and is alarming, agitating, provoking
and disgusting our Union-loVing and Gov
ernment-supporting citizens beyond any
thing that has lately occurred in the
state.

On HAND.-The Abolition scramble for
Office in Washington is said to be un.
usually brisk and exciting this season.
The "nine hundred thousand are al
last on hand. The roads of Massachu
sets are swarming with Abolition knaves
Fastening to Washington to get contracts
and position. Summers and Wilson's con.
stituents must be provided for at the pub
lie expense. They are too sickly to &c
into the army to fight and too loyal to
stay away from it, and to accommodate
them and reward their loyalty the Ad.
ministration gives them contracts and
appoints them suffers. If their pluck
equalIed their greediness and sycophancy,
they would make SPLENDID soldiers-but
its doesn't.

SHARP PRACTIcE.-The vote of the Demo-
cratic soldiers, through the considerate forget
fulness of the officers, was not returned to the
Secretary Of State. A soldier writing from
Fort Yuma to friend in this county, says
"At the late election, the Union ticket received
IS votes, the Democratic ticket but T." The
result is returned to the office of the Secretary
of State as follows: Union, 55." Who sup
pressed the Democratic votes? At Fort Ruby,
fourteen soldiers, writes one of them, voted the
Democratic ticket yet the returns are, "Union,
"a, Democratic, 90! But it is useless to COM
plain. The authors of the swindle, if known,
would be promoted, instead of punished, for
their villainy.
