Gen. Truman Seymour, captured in the
battles of the Wilderness, passing through
Charlottesville or his say to Libby Pris,

In the fourth year of q great ard terrible
civil war, scarcely a loyal State in the
Union has her militia even enrolled, mnch
less organized aud disciplined, Why this
Is, especially with d State so exposed as
Marylan it were idle how to inquire. -
We hold that at least twice as many men

This invasior sweeps over Central and
Western Maryland the most loyal por-
ton of the State. Yet even this portion
lying directly across the Potomac from
Old Virginia; and opposite the Valley of
the Shenandoah, whence rebel hordes
have so often threatened and thrice inva-
ded ii, has no militia organization, and
no idea (apparently) of resisting such
raids otherwise than by running before
them, Is not this the sheegest infatua-
ton ?
The rebels are desperately in earnest.
Originally few. they make intensity of
venom. atone for punacily of numbers
They clutch their own section, compelling
every white man or boy to fight, every
black man or wo,iiaii to work, for the
triumph of their treason. They tolerate
no dissent or dcmur where they have the
power to suppress it. Their conscriptors

Is the North prepared to emulate this ?
If yes, let us call out all the men that
are wanted, loan our government all the
money ic~nceds. and put the war through
BY daylight. By this means. success is
certain otherwise not. Ia the North at
length prepared for war in earnest? This
question is fairly in order, and must be
answered forthwith. Trifirg is perilous;
equivocstion is ruin. Let the North now
arise or be forever fallen!
Is it possible that any Soldier can be
so foolish to leave the city without a sup.
