eThe rebels In their Late raid into Ma
ryland are said to have conscripted several
thousand Of their sympathixing friends,
farnishsd them with arms, and required Of
them proof Of their sincerity by fighting on
the side Of the traitors. We haven't the
slightest objection t. that part Of their pro-
gzamme. It il all legitimate according to
the rebel doctrine. Maryland they claim
- part Of the "Confederacy." OF course
those who desire that claim to be perfect
ed, ought to do their share Of the work
Such men proclaim their allegiance to the
''ConSederacy," and are Of course subject.
by their own declaration to their conscrip-
ton law. They are only taken at their
word. How they like 1t, We don't know.
But it suits us. When they are fairly in the
rebel army, they are much easier to deal
with than at home. Cannon balls and bul.

II may or It may not be full and correct, 20
tar o the written documents are concern-
ed. But Il II evident that there were pre-
liminary conversations betweentheparties.
There Il an inner history Of the affair not
yet made public. That Il what We would
b glad to get hold Of We would like to
know how the traitors managed to pull the
wool over Greeley's eyes-how they mani
aged TO convince him that they were in fact
authorized to speak on behalf Of the rebels,
or whether it was not Greeley who was
fooled, but the precious triumvirate Of
traitors, who were 'stolled on till they
made asses Of themselves by the long
headed philosopher Won't Greeley give
us the whole history, tragical, comical and
farcical, from the beginning to the end9 It
will be feast to us and to the public. So
good jest should not be hid 'undsr .
bushel." It ought to zee the light. If not
confidential-if the whole story may be
told, let us have it. A good laugh will not
hurt any Of N. Tell it, Greeley. Don't
keep the side-shaking yarn for the next

- Some, perhaps al, Of the Copper
head journals are very anxious for IN
s'armistice," a. they call it. They don't
know what they are talking about or they
would hardly be prating about such thing
in this war. There can't be any such thing
without doing just what the war on our part
Il waged to prevent. An armistice Is not
military truce, agreed to by opposing gen.
erals for temporary purpose. It 10 the
compact Of the governing authorities-im-
plies equality Of power, authority and
right. In this war such thing rs an ar
mistice cannot be without an acknowledge
ment of the ''Confederacy," the thing we
cannot in any event agree to. We don't
purpose doing anything of that sort. If
the rebel leaders desire peace they knew
the read to it. But they manifest no great
desire that way A. yet. They have not
even asked for an .sarmistice." They have
suggested no terms. They leave all that
10 their Copperhead friends. But they can
have all that they have any right to at any
lime they choose. II anything short of|
separation viii satisfy them, II they are
Wiling to live - good citizens under
,ur Constitution and laws, the way isopen.
