NORTHERN AND LOCAL NEWS.
We have just heard that two Ed
tors from Maryland have arrived in
our city, being driven from their
homes, in the Counties of St. Mary's
and Cecil. They bring reports Of open
rebellion, in Indiana, to the acts of the
present Abolition Administration and
especially to the CONSUMPTION act. It
had reached such a stage as to REQUIRE
in the opinion Of the Yankee Author
tiles, the Intervention of the Military
to quell it. These gentlemen report
that a force of ten thousand men had
been sent from Hookel's army for the
purpose of suppressing this forcible op-
position to the acts Of the Yankee
Government, and that the men OF
Hooker's command were selected, being
men of a different section, and not
Western troops, who might, Instead Of
suppressing, aid this outbreak. This
report, generally credited at first, seems
to be confirmed by the report of a gen
tleman, VINO is just thro' from Baiti=
more.
The gentleman first alluded to were
editing papers in their respective
counties, and for some comment ON the
usurpations of the Northern Dictator,
were ordered to leave that land, where
life, liberty and the freedom Of speech
is especially guaranteed (?) to its cit
liens. What a condition must not be
the Lincoln Administration be in,
when it exiles the exponents Of the
popular feeling, for comments and
even structures placed upon it !!
These gentlemen COLD scarcely have
seen many of our Southern prints, or
they could not have formed their opin-
ion in reference to the MANNER in
which the war is and has been waged,
on the part of the Abolitionists. They
believed that it was carried on, after
the style genetally adopted by Chris
tan Nations, but this illusion was dis
PEELED ere they reached this point, by
their observation Of acts, Which even
Barbarians wotild be 10th to practice.
While coming up the Valley they saw
a procession, on its way to pay the
last rites to a departed friend and rel
alive; deliberately fired into by Yankee
Soldiery, killing ole peaceable citizett
and wounding another. This is but a
slight specimen of the atrocities prac=
ticed by our Vandal foe, with which
our papers have teemed since hostili-
ties commenced. This is bit sthall
share Of what the people Of our be-
loved Valley have been compelled to
endure. But last week we heard Of
the thrusting out of their house, of the
family Mr.. Lloyd Logan of Winchester
because they observed the day Of
thanksgiving, humiliation and prayer,
appointed by President Davis, amid
the exultation of Mrs. Gen Milroy,
who exclaimed as she took possession
Of the property, thus stolen from this
estimable family-'Go you secesh reb-
els, hope you may be made to starve''
and the expulsion Of Miss McGill fol-
writing a letter descriptive of the
cause Of their being driven out.
Gen. Milroy holds uSt1srtsFEb; and
tyrannical sway over the people ii The
lower portion of the Valley, while we
think we have forces sufficient in reach
OF him to capture, certainly to drive
him out Of the Valley. We do not
expect to deprive the Confederacy at
large Of the services Of that world re-
ttowned Warrior, whose interests are
especially identified with our Valley,
"Gen Stonewall Jackson" but we do
desire to see some one in command OF
our forces, on this side of the noun
tain, who does not let all chances es-
cape him, for the alleged reason that
it will subvert some we'll concocted
plan, never intended to be, or at least
never put into execution.
