MARYLAND, TIE POLAND OF AMI


RIGA.
IF military dictator should order the in
discriminate slaughter of all the women and
children of Maryland, would it, or would it
MT. excite mutmur Of rcniOnstrance and in
lignation from the rcople Of the North? We
Iurrnise in good faith, for it would appear that
apathy and Indifference, or perhaps an Affect
;ear that stimulates them, press like night
mare upon the souls of American citizens
The columns Of the Democratic press of the
North have, since the election in Maryland,
.ccc ed with the statements Of the most outra-
geous fraud, injustice and tyranny, exercised
w the military myrmidnns Of the central
power against the elective franchise Of that
unhappy State. Not only ! test oath was a.d-
ninistcred in violation Of the law. not only
we're Democratic votes refused with menace
and insult, not only were the judges Of cleo
ton compelled to act at the dIctatinn of mills
.ary supervisors, whose armed soldiery were
stationed at the avenues to the polls, but citi-
.sns who were bu. suspected Of Democratic
tendencies, were arrested at the discretion Of
subordinatcs. and locked up like herds Of
sheep in b rms aud other impromptu Hass:lcs.
until the polls were closed. The details Of
these scandaluus proceedings come to US with
IN appalling accumulation. They are pub
!ished to the public conspicuously in the col
umns of the Democratic press and it will be
noticed that the radical organs do not deny,
or attempt to palliatc, or explain, or Justify
these unvarnishcd exposures of n dcspotism
that places Maryland next to Poland on the
record of oppressed and enslaved humanity.
On the contrary, their reticcnce in the face of
those damning evidences of Administrative
guilt, implies that they exult in the success Of
arbitrary sway, md their contempt uous silence
says with the eloquence of words Chafe. as
you will, you cannot help yourselves.

CHARLESTON.

We believe it may now be said with conti-
lcnce that our brave city OF Charleston is
safe. The siege is, Of cnrse, kept up pro
f1rr,a: for it would never do 10 admit plain
, IL that the 'hotbed of treason is imprrSna-
die, and defes the utmost that all Iankecdom
can do with the most stupcndous siege arma~
,nent that has ever been brought against any
fortress since the dawn of history. More at
lacks, or feints, or experiments will doubtless
b, made: Cor willie tho monitors and Iron
sides are there, they may as well be dong
that az nothing else. But the Charleston poo
pie evidently think the danger pretty vel!
over: for tomorrow Thursday, the l9th) is
appointed by the municipal authorities as q
day Of thanksgiving Cor their dci'verancc ;
and they will rcturn thanks with their whole
hearts when ,hey reflect from what they have
been delivered.
The Editor of the Savannah ''Rspnblican,,
who speaks from careful personal observations
made on the spot, says:
Gen. Gilmore knows quite as much about
the difficulties that lie in lis path as VIC do
. knowledge derived from a long, bitter and
bloody experience After siege OF nearly
five months, by land and sra, with impl".
,nents of war unparalleled in the history Of

ming. ard viii. OYER four miles stretching be-
tween him and the city. All their powers
Lave been recently expended agaiIS; Fort
Sumter, but i. still stands, q monument to
their impotence. They will doubtless assault
iv again soon, and with still greater numbers,
but it will be in vain. And Just here we
would suggest, in parcnthcSiS, to the au-
thorities, 10 arm The garrison With soluble
barrel shot guns, iTstead OF rifles; they
would do infinitely mere execution IN case 81
an assault. Loaded with buckshot OF Il large
size. it would require but n dozen men 20
sweep one entire face CT tic fort. Bat
The Yankees reason without knowledge.
They vainlv imagine that Sumter ont of the
way, the road to Chariaa.tn would be clear
at least so they say. Wccannot think that Gen
Gilmore is possessed Of any such decisions.
We have other batteries, TO the right and left,
entirely up to the city, a fact which he knows
as wei as we do, and it seems that they have
recently fSssd out, hy the aid of strong
glass, that the Battery at the city itself, Is
frownng with formidable guns. We do not
believe that the Yankee commander has any
more idea of taking Charleston than he has Of
taking London or Paris; but still, itwil! not
10 to give it up and acknowledge all bis ct,
for $ and sacrifices to be in vain--in the clas-
SIC language of Mr. Lincoln, he must keep
regsing away" IF he d"es not get Charles
ton, he may prevent us from getting tho Yam
kce army in some other field.

The cucmy's fire from his NOR tars ard

sixty shots were fred during the night, being
the heaviest night bombardmcnt yet made.
The casualties in tie fort were two men killed

Another shot struck hy an old negro, who

ties. That chieftain has just left Fortress
Monroe to assume command ovcc the Federal

the last trace Of Unionist sentiment in the
STATE will speedily vanish under his mlnistra-
tons. Thus, our enemies themselves are aid
ing US even by their hated presence in deepen
ing the gulf and embit.ering the feud which
have separated the States and destroyed the
Union forever. We may fight with varying
fortune, sometimes infiictng defeat and some
times enduring it; but restoration Of the
Union upon any terms is absolutely impossi>

There is an unseen spirit broodng over the

ton, which too often characterizcs the con-
vcrsations of men. tits plain we cannot end
the war by words ;there is nothing that can
roll back the tide of invasion so surely as the
Southern bayonet; there is no encouragement
to the soldiers in the field, like that OF the
volunteer enlistment in the ranks along with
them, of those who have hitherto remained
out of the army. Actions speak louder than
words. The draft, the enrolling officer, the
government bounty, the substitutes hire may
fill up the ranks of our enemy; but patriotism,
and devotion to the South and her cause alone.
should be the motives which impcl southern
gentlemen to leave their pleasant hearth"
stones, and bravely breast the blasts of win.

one way through which We can clearly dis.
Germ onr path to peace, and that is through
the volunteer enlistment in the army of every
body, regardless of age or condition, substi-

notwithstanding. Oh if the country could

the heart of tue nation could but be reused

of relaxing into an apathetic Indifference,
every southern man not in arms could be

ton Of the useless strife. 1t should be quick
work and soon over. Men must cease to
dwell upon the fact that we are out numbered
in the field, until every one adds another re-
crnit to our own rolls, that cur own ranks
may be swelled in proportion.
We must cease this useless, babble abont the
end Of the war; and drown the sickly whine OF
