that already the dogs are let loose upon them
for this vote, Though they have been as good
soldiers, done as much, ifnot more hard fight
ing and long and wearisome marching as any
regiment in the ield participated in all the
hard fighting from the first attack on Vicks-
burg till its surrender yet because they exer-
else the privilege of voting as they pleased they
are now, as we are informed, denounced as
traitors, and that they ought to be dismissed
in disgrace from the service, and marchsd
across the line. Aud this disgraceful assault
upon them is made, we are told, by an ex- Cap
tain Of that regiment, who left the perIs Of
the field to enjoy the comforts Of home
This is just what we expected, and said be
fore the election, would be the case with these
"friends Of the soldier r Shame on them.

The Mem or NIarYIand.

The Louisville Democrat, of the 9th
inst, holds the following in regard to the
people of Maryland. 1t reflects our senti-
ments exactly:
The Abolition papers are rejoicing over
the growing popular emancipation policy Of
Maryland. They point how few votes Lincoln
got in the State; how pro-slavery men we're
always elected; and how they and their cause
had no show until lately They tell US how
the Baltimore mob nssailed the Union troops
as they passed through the city; but now this
same people shout over anti-savery speeches.
aud how they will vote for anti-slavery cand
dates. AT heart they must feel a contempt
for this same people; for the tickle mob that
is ready to fight on one side to-day and the
other tomorrow; who are rendy to change
their opinions or sacrifice their convictions to
a little temptation or a littleforce We don't
know how Maryland may vote; but if her peo.
Pile are so easily led or missed, or bought or
scared, it is quite unimportant what becomes
Of them The votes of such things are Just fit
to be used by any power that finds the oppor-
tunity They demonstrate that they are as
mean as the Abolitionists have charged; that
they we're hut slaves TO the dietaiiOn OF a few;
aud that they are but tools now We can
easily see how men may give up q hopeless
cause. 1t is folly to fight against fate; but to
be the active agent in what he has always held
TO be wrong; to be convinced by kick or cuff
or by an appeal to the pocket, is getting low
enough dowR to be despised even by an Abo
litiOnist.
The people of once proud Maryland
have humbed themselves in the dust al
the bidding Of despotic and tyrannica
power. They have completely sunk theiI
manhood and independence, and licked
the hand that smote them. They listen
ed to the syren songs Of the deStructionist
and have been lured into the maelstrom o
ruin and degradation. Unhappy, degsn
crate Maryland ? Her page of glory i
full her record of infamy and shame ha
but commenced. The spirit Of Carroll
no longer dwells with her people.

Movements on the Rappahan-
mock.

MEADE and LEE have been maneuvering
for the past few days, and it is reported
that battle will be fought if LEE accepts
the offer. 1t is claimed that MEADE has
peremptory orders to fight, and that his ar
my is from ton to thirty thousand stron-
ger than the enemy. LEE has fallen back
to a strong position, aud it remains to be
seen whether MEADE will attack him in
his entrenchod position. II battle is not
fought soon, it is more than probable that
active operations on the Rappahannocll
will be suspended for the winter. 1t may
be that the bulk Of both armies will be
transferred to the Southwest, where opera
tions can be carried on during the winter,
unless the weather is unusually bad. In
that case, it may be expected that the
most sanguinary battles of the war will be
fought in the valley of the Mississippi.
Either this, or inactivity until the spring
campaign opens.
