REMEMBER, that it was the reb-
els who commenced the war by firing
the first shot at Fort Sumter. The
nation, therefore, is fighting in self.
defense, and so long as there is a
rebel in arms we are in favor of pros
ecutlng the war until it is demon
strated that liberty shall be the bye
word and scoff Of the Old Would, and
that government shall exist that
has for its cornerstone " sla very,'
and the reduction of the white labor
ing man to its level. The cor4er-
stone is now fact, and the latter is
strongly advocated in the rebel States

PERFORM YOUR DUTY.

Every citizen owes duty to his
country, and the fidelity with which
he discharges these duties is the meas
uro by which his goodness as citi-
zen is to be measured. Some Of these
duties arc moro easily to be perform
cd than others but the ease or diff
Guilty Of performance is not always
the measure Of the Importance of that
duty. Wednesday next, the 9TH in
stant, demands Of you tho perform
ance Of o duty usually of a light
character, though it is Of the highest
Importance, and at the same time it
is. ono Of the greatest privileges en-
joyed by the citizen and is that which
distinguishes ours from all other gov
ernmcnts, and is the fundamental
principle Of our national greatness.
From the manner in which this
duty is but too frequently performed,
one unacquaizted with the nature and
principles of our institutions would
draw the inference that it was. to say
the least. of it, farce and a mockery.
Too frequently our polls exhibits
scenes which to the mind of the un.
enlightened stranger afford grounds
for such an opinion. Political dema.
gogues and tricksters too frequently
constitute the prominent characters
in the performance, and deface the
beauty and Importance of the play.
In ordinary times the evil resulting
from such a state Of things are tenn
porary in their effects, and produce
no lasting injury beyond the bad ex-
ample and encouraging the tricksters
in their deception of the people.
The election of Wednesday next is
Of widely different nature in the
character of its results. The issues
involved therein possess a vitality
and importance such as have not
been presented to the people of this
State and County in the last quarter
of century. The decision of the
ballot-box on that occasion affects
not only the unity and glory of the
nation, but also the future charac-
ter and prosperity Of the State. The
issues at stake involve not the OK
istence or domination of political
party CT the success of a personal
friend or political favorite, but in
yolve the character, standing, and
prosperity of the whole State. aud

election ever held in Maryland On
The 10Th Of April, 1861 an attempt was
made by disunionists to withdraw our

tcrinircd they would be the last to leave

tant election and why? Because two
years since many of us hoped that the

to continue the war, and now it is APP

These are pertinent questions at this
time, and We beseech you to search your
own hearts, and there can be no doubt
of the election of the regular uncondi-
tioaa1 Union nominees over all opposi-
ton, and our noble old State will be con
sidered as loyal as any. as her sons in

The War News

General Thomas tclegraphs to the War
Department that the Coufrderates attacked
General Rockers position on the Tennessee
river about twelve o'clock on Wednesday
night, and severe battle ensued, continuing
for four hours. General Hooker reports his
troops as having repelled all attacks m AIDE
upon them, aud driving the Confeder ates
from several important positions. The bat
tie took place at Brnwa's Ferry. near Chat
tsnooga, and a Washington dispatch says
that the result is considered Of the highest
importance, as it removes the Confederate
distractions to steamboat navigation, and
sc 'ures other advantages. Gen raj Smiths
successes in the Lookout Valley on the 27th
are also considered OF much importance, as
the Use Of Two wagon roads, and the river,
were acquired, thus relieving the comman-
ding officers of the chief embarrassment as
to the lines to receive army supplies
There is no news Of special interest from
the army Of the Potomac. A portion Of the
Federal forces are said to be at a point where
Turkey Run crosses the Warrenton railroad,
that is about six miles west of Brstow Sta

is repaired as far rs Catlett's Station aud
