been an exile from Baltimore since June last
the most OF his time since that date having been

June, 1861, and imprisoned for eighteen months
In the Northern baStiles Of McHenry, LAFAYETTE
and Warren.
In December, 1862. he wa, released from
Fort Warren, and allowed to return to his
nome, 1t would seem to be re -arrested on an
Indictment for treason. In May last this in
dlctment was quashed by the Government, with
the view of re-indictins him with more distinct
specifications. Finding that he was TO have no
peace in his down-trodden city, he left it and
made his way to Canada
Some time during the month of Jaruarv
IN company with three Confederate officers
who had escaped from Juhnson'. Island. he
sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, for Bermuda.
from which laster point he made his way into
Confederate port TIE names of the officers
who left Halifax with him are or Wiuslow.

more persistently prosecuted because of their
attachment to the South and her institutions
than Marshal kane.--Rtchmond Dispatch.

Extract of a letter to one of the Editors ct
this paper, from distinguished citizen Of tn !
State:
81 am truly gratifed TO sec that YOU ara
connected with the editorial corps, and espc-
c1ally at Raleigh, where 80 much NAV be ac-
com pllshed by talents, character aud energy.
Your labors begin already to .tell-they are
bearing good fruit.
The noisy attempts of the croakers and
indictments IN our midst, have never excited
my Tears. They are certainly destined, at no
uistant day with the aid Of the heavy blows
tney receive, to sink under the crushing weight
OF public scorn and their own self AMUSEMENT.
From the FIRST, not doubling the soundneSs
and loyalty of the popular heart and popu-
lar sentiment, have desired that the Conve,f
tloa men and the peace negotiation men should
make the Issue dlrcct-well assured that they
would be speedily stripped OF all disguises,
ana DC consigned to everlasting infaHy: with
nothing but the desire to seek the shad g of
Erebus III whichi to bemoan their fates and
torments. would now, If could force them
to throw off the habliments of false and
pretended patriotism, and hold them as fit
subjects for criminal Justice.
Congress, under Ill its embarrasr,ents have
done well. They have prepared strong med
clne. but only such as the patient needed
we should take the dose without murmurnc.
and rejoice that it brings healing in its results.
The suspension of the 'habeos corpus'' is
quite opportune. All good and true men will
commend the measure. Bad men only will |
ret because they fear it,. Let the latter and
Duncompe aStators ciamor as they may, it
will arrest many of the troubles and obstacles
with which the disaiiected would embarrass
our cause. The suspension is scarcely less
valuable to Government in times like these

This Order is the quintessence of a brutal
aud God-defying tyranny. 1t is in pursuance
OF the plan adopted by Lincoln, to send Abo-
llton zealots from the Yankee conyenticles to
drive our people away from the affairs where
thsy have been accustomed to worship, and
to deny them practically the services of the
sanctuary. Accommodation is hitherto tho
only religion which has been propagated bv

made to pay, "as far as possible" the salaries
which may be levied for those who desecrate
their affairs and drfile the temples in which
they have SO long worshpped the God of

dollar. An outrage upon helplessness would
