STAND BY THAT FLAG THAT noble hero
Major-General B4RSEY, died in the delirium
of fever, but his last words are worthy of be-
ing the Union war-cry of the land Rising
suddenly from his bed, his eyes blazing with
the fire that consumed them, he cried out
with a trumpet-voiee, "BoYs, KEEP YOUR
EYES ON THAT FLAG !" and fell back dead.

Free MARYLAND.

There remains no longer any doubt that
Maryland is to be henceforth a free State,
The Courts refused to interfere with counting
the soldiers votes, the Governor has pro-
claimed the Free Constitution adopted, and
there is great rejoicing that Maryland is at
last freed from the curse of slavery.

The votes possible amount to 251, of which
l26 is a majority. If none of the doubtful
States are received, there will be 2Sl votes,
making l16 necessary to elect -.
Of the q States that might possibly VOTE
but two are really Slave States-Tennessee
and Kentucky. By the action of Maryland
Delaware is practically free while in Mis-
souri, Slavery is so'far gone that it can exer-
else little effect in this canvass.

Mr.. Orville K. Wood was then sworn on
the part of the Government. Resides at
West Chazy, Clinton county, New York: is a
merchant; came from Baltimore as the agent
of the Union Committee of his county, to

tain McDermott, of the 91st New York regi-
ment, and several soldiers from Clinton coun-
ty; stopped there two or three days; in
conversation with Captain McDermott in re-
lation to the voting of soldiers he remarked
that there had been some checker-playing,"
and his suspicious were aroused. He also
visited Newto*n University Hospital, and.
from what he heard there, suspected that
something was wrong; went to the office of
the State agency, So West Fayette street,
and there met Mr.. Ferry; asked him how
things were getting, along, giving him to IN
derstand that he Wood belonged to the Nc
Clellan party. Ferry desired to know if he
had a commission from Governor Sew
mour. He told him that he had not, but be
represented him in the county committee
Ferry desired 70 see his commission said he
had none, but had a list OF the soldiers of his
county, which appeared to satisfy Ferry. He
told Ferry that he came TO Baltimore to get
the vote of the 91st New York; was inform
ed that it had been taken Mcclellan re-
oeiving 400 votes and Lincoln II; lie ex
pressed surprise at the small number OF
votes polled for Lincoln, when Ferry said
that when the Union votes came in
to that Office, they were all right
when they went out, and that they were
doing more here than he thought of. Mr.
Ferry remarked, there is a great deal more
being done than you think Of He then said

they may be mistaken the radicals have been beaten
by that dodge often that they have the
cuson to bo prepared for every shape the negotiations

OF the different city organizations into committee,

organization when the Union party instituted, and
that thcy the original Union party hive always
sustained tho nominees of the Union Convention and
have been the only portion OF the party in this city that
has done They Instance the defeat OF Wadsworth
at the last Governors election by the Weed and Seward
men and viii urge upon tho State Committee that,
long that interest has charge in this part OF the
the State no reliance be placed upon those who be-
trayed the party then. To show also that the Weed
have 20 local strength they point TO the last election
OF Mayor when Blunt was nominated in the interest OF
Tammany Hail, and the republican boxes used TO
circulate the opposition ticket They claim that the de
Weed men, and say that Mr. Blunt to tho radicals

the State Committee is to give the organization 70 the
party that polls the most votes this fall and that they
want no compromise now.
