Slave and Free Population OF
Maryland.

A "subscriber'' wishes to be Informed
through The Whig of the number of colored
persons in Maryland-free and slave.
By the census returns of 1860 there were
of free colored SO, 942; slaves 81, 1s9. The
slave population of the State, by the war,
has been reduced many thousands. so that
the slave population of the present day is
much less-and daily diminishing-than the
above figures would indicate.

General Longstrect, having appeared in the

advance, found the enemy drawn up in line
of battle, and on attacking them with his
usual impetuosity, they broke and reiterated

have all supplied their quotas, with the ex-

who has the contract pledged himself to fill
that also in time. There is doubtless some
mistake in the officer of the draft, and we
advise those drawn not to report until they
learn further in regard to the matter. The

the conductor to check up at Elkton sutli

Before arriving at the depot the train began
to slack up, when one of the train hands
advised Mr.. X. to jump. which he did before
the speed was sufficiently reduced. He was

General Meade has submitted written state
ment in regard to his conduct at the battle of
Gettysburg, to the Committee ON the Conduct
of the War. In this statement he denies eX-
plicitly and emphatically that he contemplated
or issued, any time during the action, an order
to retreat to Tarrytown or any other point, az
ter his arrival at Gettysburg. He asked seve-
raj corps commanders to act as his temporary
Chief of Staff, all preferring to remain in CON-
mand of their corps. He addressed similar
request to General Butterfield, who consented.
He directed him immediately to collect all pos
sible information relative to the roads leading
to the rear. He AYERS that in giving this in
struction to General Butterfield, he had no
thought of retreat and merely aimed at OBJ
tanning information which any prudent General
would consider necessary for an intelligent un-
Outstanding of the field ofactiOn. General But
terrified, on the morning of the second day,
drew up an order directing all trains and bag
gage to be sent to the rear. This order gave
the occasion for the assertion of various Off
GERS that an order to retreat had been given.
General Meade states that General b. showed
him the order; that he told him it would not
answer and that if it was issued, it was with
out his authority This statement of General
Meade is corroborated by the testimony OF
General Gibbon and other general officers and
members of his staff.
