How the Rebels Take the News SO
far from Bragg's Army.
From the Richmond Examiner, Of the sth.

from the Richmond Examiner, OF the Sth.
II aforeiguer could have observed the
bearing OF the Southers people during the
momentOus events Of the last few weeks,
he must have thought them the most i'm
passibIe and phlegmatic of nations. The
news of a great victory was received, not
merely with imperturable calmness, bat
with something akin to frigid distrust.-
The preconceiYed ideal of the people of
the Southern States, so familiar to the
world, must have appeared very much at
variance with the reality. There is great
er rejoicing over a single dubious and
meagre victory in the land of granite, aud
Goldfish and wooden nutmegs than is &C.
corded to a Chfckamauga or a Manassas in
the sunny region of cotton and tobacco.
The people have, indeed, evinced not
only great temperance in the expression
of their joy, but remarkable firmness and
patience in the dark and tangled series of
maneuvers which resulted in the recent
victory ia northern Georgia. They dis
play the same qualities iu the long and
trying suspense which still attends the
movements OF our armies and retards the
final development of the campaign. Three
years Of war have proved severe school.
We have not only learned to bride our
impatieRce, and to awaid composedIy the
tedious operations of strategy, but we
have been rudely taught not to abandon
ourselves to the first movements of trf-
umph, nor to trust implicitly the rose
colored stories of the telegraph. These
lessons have been peculiarly impressed
upon US by our experience with the army
of the West. In the slight tinge Of incre-
dulity shown by the public to the bulletin
of .Chiekamauga there was evidently a
recollection of Murfreesboro. =
Now, that the victory in the West is
placed beyond the reach of cavil, and that
we no longer fear that the sequel to the
story, as on former occasions, may destroy
its early promise, tts country stifl awaits
with deep anxiety contamination of the
work 80 well begun. 1t looks for the re.
suits Of q plan which abandoned a yalua.
Bile country and q strong line of defense.
That result must not only be repulse of
the enemy, but at least the reacduisition
Of the territory abandoned for stratepic
reasons. To expect this much, as the
sanction and reward Of policy which
caused so much uneasiness and gloom.
seems to be entirely within the bounds OF
reason.
Republics are not ungrateful, not at least
when they are in pressing danger and ne.
cessity. Athens did not Danish Themfsto.
Giles until Salamis and Platea had freed her

We remain respectfully,

THE success of the immediate emsucipa-
tionists in Maryland, in the fall elections,
is.confdently predicted. This seems too
good thing to,expect, and yet if the facts
set forth in the address of the committee
ofthe "Unconditional Union party" to the
people of that state have their Iegitimate
influence the Marylanders will certainly
determine that the sooner they can rid
themselves of slavery the better, and will
vote accordingly. The address is one OF
the most admirable documents we, have
seen. No northern sbolitiohfs. could have
put the matter in so fair aud convincing a
style. There is no assault upon slave
holders, as if they were necessarily guilty
of all possible crimes, and no attempt to
excite sacred animosity against the relic of
barbarism. But the political and economic
reasons making the removal of slavery
from The state desirable are calmly pre-
scented, and only those who prefer their
private interest in, slavery tothe general
welfare of their fellow citizens can refuse
to admit that a plain case is made out TOR
the policy. ofimmediase emancipation,
There are but 16 600 Shareholders in
Maryland, in a populatiOn1Ot 100000. The
committee prove the bad economy of slav-
cry by contrasting the fee EEith the slave
portion of 1.-THE state. The counties north
of the Sassafrss and Patapsco rivers have

a Bold Act In Harrison county.

Bold Act In Harrison County,
We have letter from harrisburg last
evening informing US of the following cir
cumstauce:
On last Friday evening the residence of
Mr.. Goffmsn, living on Ten Mile, some
twelve miles from this place, was uncere-
moniously entered, and while the family, in
company with a leighbor, were sitting
around the fire, fifty miles within our lines,
and entirely unconscious of danger, three
rutfians in Confederate uniforms leveled
their carbines at thtterrified group, at the
same time ordering them not to move
One of the scoundrels ordered young
man out of the house, where there were
three other villains, and compelled him to
60 to the stable and bring out three horses.
With these horses they started of, leaving
the astonished family patalyzed with fear
at this unlocked for invasion. 1t is believ-
ed that these proving scoundrels were
mostly, if not ALL from the neighborhsod
and piloted by their secesh and copperhead
friends. 1t seems strange indeed that such
things can be perpetrate1 so close to the
commanding General and whilst so many
troops are lying about here. b.

Elk GoVBRNoR THoMAsj of Maryland, ut
tered some noble sentiments in speech he
made at Rockville. He declared his firm
conviction that if ever the issue came up
between the preservation of the Union or
the preservation of slavery; "the latter
must go under" he denied that the Ad-
ministration party was political Abolition
party. He did not vote in Congress for
CONSUMPTION, confiscation. or emancipation
but it was not because he Thought those
measures UNCONSTITUTIONAL. the idea that
slavery must be perpetual, or that milliOns
of human beings should have no hope of
refuge but in the grave, was one abhorrent
to him; and he held that in the confsca-.
ton act and other measures the rebels got
nothing moro than was their due. Slavery
in Maryland was an evil, and Its abolition
was no ''idle question: as it had been
styled, but one which pressed closely upon
them, and it would be cowardice not to
meetit. There was nothing peculiar about
slave property that exempted the question
from discussion, and he added: s.,57. ..f
he wished to see the people of Maryland
stand united on this question. Maryland
has no other position except under the gIo.
rious stars aud stripes. [Loud applause
/ Slavery could not now claim to be "Iet
alone".on the ground of being local in
stitution, as the moment defied the Gov
ernnentit became q national institution.
He trusted that it would be the unauimous
feeling of the State to have a convention.
The question of slavery in Maryland was,
