a APovverEsal Appealto the Rebels

Mr.. E. W. CAN'T, prominent citizen
of Little Rock, has published pamphlet,
addressed to the people OF Arkansas, ad-
vising them to submit tc the laws and
make peace with the Government at
Washington. : Mr.. CAN'T admits that his
sympathies are with the South, that he
was secessionist, but he thinks the cause
is lost, the rebel armies ars melting away,
the country oyerrun, and every day their
resources becoming less, while anarchy
and ruin, disappointment and discomfort
lower over all the land. He says it is for
the South to make the frst offer of peace,
aud it ought to knoy when it has got
enough OF war.
MIR. Gantt says in concluding his ad-
dress:
"Why trust Davis longer? Had he
twice our present resources he would still
fail With success he would be despot.
But the whole thing is tumbling to pieces.
Soldiers are leaving. disgusted and dis
heartened; and whole States have gone
back TO their home in the national galaxy.
Maryland and Delaware viii never again
be shaken. Kentucky has intrenched
herself in tho Union behind wall Of
bayonets in the hands of her own steady
sons. Missouri is as firmly set in the
national galaxy as Massachusetts,. Ten
nessee, tsmpeshtossed aud bolt-Iiven,
under the guidance of her great pilot,
steers for her old mooring, and will be
safely anchored before the leaves fall
while the rays Of light from the old North
Star, flashing out fitfuliy from her dark
ness across the troubled waves, shows that
she stirs, is not lost, but is struggling to
rejoin her sisters.
"None of these states will ever join the
South again. Then, with crippled armies
with devasted fields, with desolate cities,
with disheartened soldiers, and, worse than
all, with weak and corrupt leaders, what
hope is lett to the few remaining States,
but especially to poor, oppressed, and
down trodden Arkansas None! Better
get our brothers home while they are
left to US. Open the way for the return
Of husbands, fathers and sons, and bind up
the broken links OF the Union. The peo.
pie must act to do this. L tell you now,
in grief and pain, that the leaders Go not
care for your blood. Your sufferings move
them not. The tears and walls of your
anguished bereaved ones fall on hearts of
flint. While they can make one dollar or
wear an epaulette they are content"

Mason and BfXOn's Line.

This once famous line, because it marked
the separation of the free and slave States,
will soon cease to mark any such barrier
The western portion of that line, separating
Western Virginia from Pennsylvania, has
already lost it's interest in this respect
Western Virginia is practically as free as
any of the Northern States, though it may
take twenty years Cor the mass of our
emigrating population to understand it
At the extreme eastern end Of the line Is
little Delaware; she holds her election
next week and the question of Emancipa-
ton is the leading element of the contest
The number of her slaves is only about
1000, mostly in the Southern county Of
the State. Her people sympathize with
Maryland and Pennsylvania. aud there is
no possible danger that she will decide
differently from what they have recently
done.
In the recent election in Maryland the
emancipationists had it all their own way.
The Legislature in both branches are
overwh helminglv in favor Of the emancipa-
tion of her slaves.
The strong mechanic interests OF Balti-
more have for years been in favor of free
and against slave labor. These sentiments
have heretofore been kept under by the
slave aristocracy, who claimed a sort of
divine right to rule "my Maryland. -
But the events Of the last two years have
dissipated that dream. The leading ele-
ment in Maryland IS to-day more radical
than we are in the old keystone State
They have felt the iron rule of slave
holding oligarchy, and are more fully
prepared than the mass at least Of our So
called Democratic citizens to realize the
advantages Of free State
No candidate in Maryland at the late
election appeared on platform one-fourth
30 pro-slayery as were the Democratic
platforms in Pennsylvania and Ohio We
doubt if any leading public men in this
State made speeches SO positively anti
slavery as those of Henry Winter Davis
and Col. Matthews. The time, therefore,
when this famous line was to mark con-
tlnuous free and slave States is thing of
the past. Where slavery in the future
shall find resting place is not for US to
say. Certainly it requires no prophet to
foretell that it will not much longer be
bounded by Mason and Dixon's line.

ment to supply Pennsylvania quota by
volunteer enlistments for me,o regiments,
and the fact that other States have been
authorized to furnish their quotas in this
manner affords fair grounds for the belief
that he will be successful in the object of
his mission. Whilst our patriotic Cover
nor is thus ezerting himself to relieve
our citizens of the disagreeable alternative

that our citizens should second his efforts

BILE. By the profer Of liberal Town,
County or State bounty, in addition to
the bounties already paid by the General

could easily be secured through volun-
teering. The experiment is worth trial,
at any rate. Let the rich and influential

Major White and the State SEN
ate.

Our we'll posted readers generally know
that the next Senate of Pennsylvania
stands II Union to Is Democratic. They
may not so generally know that one of the
Union Senators was Major of cavalry
regiment, and taken prisoner last June at
Winchester, and has been for some months
in Libby prison. The rebels at Richmond
and their allies in Pennsylvania, are said
to be acting in concert, and the rebels, by
holding ON to Senator White, hope to aid
their friends at Harrisburg in embarrass-
ing Gov. Curtin's Administration. 1t is
certain that all proffers of exchange have
been refused, and these reasons lead to
the conviction that these parties are in
correspondence. The rebels have refused
to even pass Senator Whites resignation.
Unless Speaker Penny receives this with
in few days, in time to order special
election in Armstrong and Indiana coun-
tics, the Senate will be tie'when it meets,
and until his release or resignation.
If things continue in this condition, We
have No doubt Speaker Penny and all the
old organization will hold on to their re-
spective posts until displaced by positive
majority The Senate never dies-of
course al the OMceTS once elected must
hold on until positive msjority elect
somebody else to fill these stations.
This Union organization of the Senate
is of course matter of come local impor,
ance to our friends there-but will not
enable them to pass any bill. To do that
requires positive majority, tie vote be-
ing the defeat of every measure. We do
not believe the Copperhead element can
defeat any measures necessary to carry on
the war.
The Senate contains two or three
Democratic members that would not fancy
taking such responsibility. But during
the coming winter there may be number
of party questions arising in the Senate,
on all which the Union men may fail Of a
positive majority for want of Senator
Whites vote. We think fair and hon.
orable course would be to encourage his
exchange. The friends of Gov Curtin
having carried the State after an earnest
and active canvass, are entitled to the
legitimate fruits of their victory. Let
them have the responsibility for good or
for evil, of majority in both Houses

Free Maryland.

Another State is free! Maryland, by
her vote on Wednesday last declared that
Slavery should cease to paralyze her
energies and eat like cancer at her vitals.
1t may not be this year nor next year !;
but the fat has gone forth, and the present
generation will see Maryland side by side
with Pennsylvania and the great North
with the great blot Of human bondage wip-
ed from her escutcheon. Thus steadily
has Freedom grown into life, hastened and
strengthened blythe madness OF its wicked
supporters, and soon, with the crowning
triumph of theUnion arms, will tue NIGH
tiest Nation of the world rise up regenera-
ted, disenthralled and free
The Baltimore american, the leading
journal of the State, thus welcomes the
dawn OF Freedom in Maryland
"Finally, it is for all to rejoice, now or
ultimately, in the splendid future that
opens before us. Never yet tested in its
vast capacity for mining, manufacturing
aud agricultural purposes by the magic Of
free labor, we look, and the world looks
confidently for change and Improvement
hardly ever yet witnessed. When we
consider that the mere events of the war
nave made the great advantages or our
position aud soil familiar to hundreds of
thousands of skiliful artizans, Of hardy
and enterprising agriculturists, who but
for the fact that the road to the Capitol
lay across our State would never have
been nere-all must consider the certainty
that these advantages, appreciated, must
tell nightly upon the settlement of our
surplus lands and upon our future pros
perity.. We have before this indicated
some of the steps recently taken by the
people Of Delaware to reap tie advantages
Of their position and now, able to pro-
claim Maryland a prospective free State,
shall we not work to the same end Let
US hope and trust that this will be the
case-let US hope that the mighty event
of yesterday has not been over estimated
in its bearings upon the future.

Cruelty to Prisoners.

If the half We hear in regard to the
starvation Of the Federal prisoners in the
South be true, it is about time, says the
Pittsburg Gazette, that the Government
was looking into it, and resorsing to some
means of retaliation, in case these bar5ar
tiles cannot otherwise be arrested It
cannot afford to allow our soldiers to suffer
in this way without resenting it. If the
apology be want Of food, the rebels ought
as an act of mere humanity, to release the
men they hold, on their parole That
they should insist on detaining them under
such circumstances, is cruelty before un-
heard of, but only another evidence of the
intense and bitter malignity and the
devilish spirit that have alike initiated
this wanton and wicked rebellion, and
characterized it throughout. If anything
could have sottened these hell hounds, it
would have been the uniform, but, as we
think, i'll judged clenency and even ten
derIess of the President, In his dealings
with men who are SO utterly barbarized by
slavery, as to have scarcely q human
instinct left. He ought to have learned
by this time that there is but one way Of
reaching them, and that is through their
tears,-by making few terrible examples
which shall teach them that we are as
dreadfully in earnest as themselves. Ten
derness to these tigers is cruelty to the
innocent. Nobody will ever know how
many loyal citizens have fallen by the
hands Of the bloody wretches who have
been allowed to prowl at large over the
Border States. after committing atrocities
that should have consigned them atonce
to the gallows. The blood of many
helpless family is upon the hands oc the
unpunished guerillas, who have been al
lowed to ioter in the rear of our armies,
and dismissed on oaths Of allegiance, and
promises of good behavior, which were no
sooner made than violated.

The Ruins Of the Rebellion.

The very best arguments or proofs that
the stupendous conspiracy against the
most lndulgent Government upon earth
must soon fall to pieces of its own Inherent
corruption, and Of the failure Of all its
boasted resources, are to be found in the
pages of the sick ly newspapers sent forward
into the Union lines. Columns might be
written upon the texts extracted from
these journals. Although they try to be
costive and cautious in their uttsraness,
the agony Of the people and the despon-
dency of the sensible men who have been
dragooDed into submission TO tyrannioal
leaders, break out in almost every lire and
paragraph, and glare upon the reader in
the advertisements.
The sufferings Of the Union prisoners
in Richmond, so terrible and so beyond
description as almost to recall the romantic
detail of Reiliy's narrative, whether iBten-
tional or not, are only faithful copies Or
echoes of the sufierings of the gallant
Union men of Arkansas, Louisiana and
East Tennessee. The privations Of the
richer classes, felt tbs more keenlY because
heretofore they have revelled in luxury,
have become SO common that ths haugh-
test, who long unmurmuringly supported
the conspira,ors, at last give indignant
tongue to their complaints, and openly
arraign the 5etrayers.
We do not ask how long the rebellion,
with such canker In its heart, surround
ed by contentious people, plunged every
momeut like leaking ship Without masts
and sails in tempestuous, raging sea, can
last. The only question is, Why free
people, opposed to such a despotism, con-
stantly convinced that God is as surely
with them as He is against this despotism,
should not rally closer to the Government
of their fathers, give more and more of
their substance to their public servants,
and call upon their eountrymen to hasten
to complete the overthrow Of the enemies
of the American Republic.

Gov. CURTIN AT HoME.--Our friends
in other parts of the State, are sometimes
at loss to understand how it comes that
Gov. Curtin, who is admitted to be person
ally popular at home, was beaten IN this
county 344 votes in the recent election,
although he carried it in 1860 by 341.-
The reason is obvious, and is at once
creditable both to Gov. Curtin and his
frieuds. The townships which gave ma
jo::ties for him in 1860, have 1888 soldiers
under arms, while those which went against
him have sent but 463, although they poll
more than half the Democratic vote of the
county. Our ranks are decimated at home
only because they are so full in the field,
and we point with pride and triumph to
the record. ave should have blushed if
Cato's house had stood serene and four>
