YANKEEDOM BOILING OVER WITH EXCITE
I MENT.
From The Richmond Whig, July l4.l
The Northern papers of the 9th, from
which we gave copious extracts in our is
sue of yesterday, naturally whetted up the
appetite of the reading public for later
news from our forces in Maryland. At 10
o'clock the agent of the Associated Press
luckily received from the Executive De-
partment copy of The Washington Chron-
icle of the 10TH containing admissions of
the completeness of our success so far. AS
soon as a synopsis of the news ofThe Chron-
icle was placed upon the various bulletins
of the city papers, it attracted crowds of
readers, who not content with devouring
every item, line by line, proceeded to the
discussion of the probable consequences of
our present successes, and the future objects
of our invasion.
Grant and Petersburg were regarded as
of as little Importance as poor boy at a
frolic, while Washington, Baltimore, Gen.
Wallace, the loyal militia of Maryland and
Pennsylvania suddenly loomed up in pub
lie estimation as the only objects worthy of
a moments consideration. Joe Johnston
and his retrograde movements, too, were for
the time laid upon the table, and we doubt
whether thought of the safety of Atlanta
cts who were ingeniously planning in
Imagination the details of the future cam
paign across the Potomac.
And our people had right to be excited.
For where does the war furnish anything
that approXimates to counterpart of the
present movement. Silently a body of
troops, which the Yankees say is large, at
least it is too large for any force they have
ready to meet it, is hurled into Maryland,
and after having destroyed railroad bridges,
viaducts, commissary stores, and i'll fact
everything they pleased, are now threaten
ing the Federal capital and the city of Bal
timore, while conquering. Yankee General
is asleep or stupefed by Virginia juleps in
front of Petersburg, waiting for something
to turn up that will save him from the dis
grace he merits. Northern papers have
boasted often that Grant fully comprehend
ed Gen. Lees strategy, and was prepared
to checkmate it. We didn't think so, but
now we know he does.
Brig. Gen. Tyler, who was captured at
Monocacy, is no doubt the same Brig. Gen.
Tyler who figured at the battle of Manas-
sas, in July, 1861. He has since been Off
ciating, we believe, as Provost Marshal or
post commandant at Baltimore. At all
events, he is a "small potato" and it will
be observed that his capture is mentioned

which circumstance it is inferred that Sew
ard is more important character-proba-
bly, the son or nephew of his snakeship, the
Yankee Premier.
One of the Baltimore kilograms of the
18th says, "active arrangements are being
made in anticipation of an emergency which
it is confidently believed is barely possible,
not probable" What is the emergency"
thus alluded to? We dare say that it is the
uprising of the people of Baltimore to put
down the tyranny by which they have so
long been oppressed. The arrangements"
may be, for aught we know to the contrary,
the planting of cannon in the streets of that
city. We pray that the devotees of liberty
and independence in Baltimore may soon
have cause to thank God for their deliver
ance from the brutal foe. maryland, my
Maryland" may yet redeem herself.
