From tbs Richmond Fxaminer.l
II is . most remarkable circumstance.
that the suggestion made IN Congress to
cOnscript Marylanders in The Oonfed-
eracy-that is, men who are not here by
accident but have come here with pro-
fessions Of devotion in their mouths
should have produced such explosions Of
Of indignation in the minds of those
patriots, if their affection of zeal for the
South is to be accounted true, then they
should rejoice At the occasion which Con-
gress desires TO give them, Of fighting on
the same ground and in the same char
scteF IS other Confederate soldiers; such
. law should be deemed q privilege, at
least, il is no occasion for resentment and
for such defamation IS those with which
Mr.. DsJarnetie indulged in the House of
Representatives, some days ago. Mr. De-
Jarnette, however, has q reputation for
snorting and colicky eloquence in the
House, aud the invocation TO "MY Mary
land" was probably intended only to re-
lieve his own bowels of some windy
rhetoric.
BE this as IL may, Maryland has but
little reason TO appreciate q compliment
which compares those of her citizers in
the South 20 "prisoners of war" and,
by force of bis infamous comparisons,
seeks to exonerste them from military
service; or Uhicb flourishes in Congress
this disgusting and detestabie threat:
Pass this bill, and in my opinion you
add many thousand recruits to ABRAHAM

From tho Enqulrsr.l
A gentleman direct from Wilmington
reports that the enemy now have TWEEN
ty-six vessels block aiding that port.
These vessels are scattered for q mile or
two OF the mouth Of Cape Fear, and
guard all che avenues Of approach with
the most sleepless vigilance. The conse-
quences are that the chances Of running
the blockade have been greatly lessened,
and il Is apprehended by some that the
day Is not far distant when it will be an
impossibility for . vessel 20 get into that
port without mourning = hazard almost
equivalent 10 positive loss. Having Sc
cured nearly every seaport on our coast,
the Yankees are enabled to keep large
force of Wilmington.

more distressing 70 a soldier like Long
street than 10 have bis plans thwarted
by the stupidity OF a subordinate; and
General LOngstreet is cursed with just
such subordinates.
Reformation is sadly wanted. a man
like Hampton is sadly needed.
