The Governor Of Maryland Oh Eman,
cipnliOn.

The message ofGovernor Bradford.
transmitted to the Maryland Legisla.
ture on the 7th, says the finances OF
the State are in prosperous condi.
ton. During the past year 500, ,0On
ofthc old debt has been extinpuisbed.
and there is balance on hand of
moro than sl,G00,000. exclusive of
eash,te the credit of the sinking fund.
Referring to the subject of emancipa.
tion, Gov. Bradford aays:
81 believe to-day, as 7 have for
years, that if we had long ago proyj.
ded for the gradual emancipation of
the slaves of the State, we should now
be, as regards all the national ele.
ments or prosperity, in advance of
our present position. The products
OF our State and its natural resources,
are not such rs are adapted to, or can
he developed by slave labor.
81 am satisfied that the people of
the State, in their moments of calm
and deliberate reflection, long since
came to the same conclusion. When
the conspiring leaders of the South
lifted their hands against the Union,
and pointed to slavery as the institu.
Ition upon which their visionary re.
public was to rest, they struck a blow
at the very vitals in every border

The New Call

For 100000 men in addition TO the
100000 now being raised, is sigr
that the Government intends to ilnisl
the Rebellion early In the Spring.
With this number in addition to The
veteran armies now in the field, we
will havo armies at every point nu.
merically superior TO the enemy, and
and in point of equipment, beyond
comparison. Where We are barely
holding positions, we will be able 'tc
advance--where VIC are advancing
slowly, We will be enabled to move
with resistless power. And better
than all, wo will have'a sufficient force
20 enable us to hold securely, the
ground we capture, and to re organ,
ize and build up as we advance.

lection of towns and neighborhoods
have been and are being organized
into companies and battallions in sew
eral districts. They number thus far
500 to 1000. Three artillery COM
panies are also being raised. The
whole number of volunteers since
October 10th, may be stated at G, 1000
In addition to this, it is estimated
that there are 1000 volunteers from
Arkansas in the Union armies serving
out of the State. About 1000 con-
trabands are being drilled at Little
Rock and Pine Bluff.
A dispatch from Gen. Foster at
Knoxville on the 2Sth, announces
that the affair at Siersville, of which
we have he'd some account before,
terminated in decided victory to
our arms over the rebels. The fight
lasted eight hours, We captured
two steel rined guns and over one
hundred prisoners. The rebel loss
was heavy. Garrsrds first Brigade
of Cavalry, and Woliord's command
which had been posted on our extreme
left, arrived just in time to make the
rebel rout complete, and were pushed
COWARD In pursuit. A severe fight
occurred at Athens, Tenn, on the
29th; the rebels attacking our garri-
son there. The rebels were repulsed
after fight of two hours. Another
fight occurred near Florence, Ala
bama, in which also the rebels wero
repulsed.
A rebel captain, among others,
came into Gen Meade's lines and
took the oath of allegiance. He de-
clared that ho abandoned the rebel
service because he was convinced
that their cause is hopeless, and that
longer resistance would lead to fur
ther desolation of the South. From
Jail that can he gathered as to the
temper of Lees army, there is reas-
enable ground for believing that a
total disruption of his commnd is
not improbable. Their conscripts
are escaping as fast as brought in
and universal demoralization exists.
nc reoel oniefs at Richmond laugh
ed. al the Presidents proclamation OF
Amnesty, and permitted its publica-
ton in Richmond papers as capital
joke. But they speedily saw their
mistake, and forbade its publication.
But it was then too late. The an
nouncemeut had got abroad, and
their soldiers have ever since been
streaming into our lines. Laughter
has ceased at Richmond; but still
their soldiers come.

which day he announced that he hop

not long continue, and urged them to

JeT. Davis, Best Friends.

The New York News enters long
editorial plea for the South and
contends that the wailings that have
come up from Richmond, Raleigh,
and the Confederacy generally, arc
no evidence OF the despair of the
South" 1t accounts for the severe
denunciaten of the rebel Government
by the rebel press as follows;
"It is the energy and determined
action Of the Confederate authorities
that have given the complaining edit
ors their cue. Decisive and strong
measures on the part Of government
will always intensity the antagonism
of its opponents, in the same ratio
that they encourage and increase the
support of its adherents. There nev-
er was an administration, not even
that of the pure and patriotic Wash
ington, that had not its assailants.-
So in the Confederacy, the Admins
tration of Jefferson Davis is subject
to this inevitable rule"
Such is Copperhead defense OF
jeff Davis. 1t Is certainly a strong
indication Of the confined fidelity OF
the Northern Democracy to their
Southern masters; but the inquiry
might be pertinent, whether the de-
nunciations of Lincoln's Adminstra-
tion might not be answered in the
same way; and whether such an apol-
ogy for Mr.. Lincoln would not be as
patriotic as that of the News for JEFF.
Davis is treacherous2 The prospect
is that the President of the rebels
will soon have no defenders except
the Northern Copperheads, who are
