Now and Then.

How different the circumstances with which
We are now surrounded, says the Baltimore
Clipper, from those environing us three
years ago. Then the passage through our
city, on Its way to the Capital, of gallant
regiment from the noble old Bay State, was
disputed by \ band of ruffans, stimulated by
an organized conspiracy in our midst, and
several of the defenders of their country were
murdered in our streets. The conspirators
had thoroughly concocted their plans, doubt
less with the aid OF secret oath-bound associa-
tions, and prior military organizations under
the title OF Maryland Guards" into which
many an innocent youth was entIapped by
the Misrepresentation OF the object intended
and were, by means of military discipline, as
was the case in Kentucky and other States,
to have been handed over to the rebel author
tiles with or without their consent - conse-
quently the loyal men of the city were taken
unawares, aud unprepared for such move
ment.
Nearly every man of those who were active
in the military operations of the times immel
diately connected with the 10Th of April, sub
sequently fled TO the South, after they had
found by the appearance of the gallant Butler
in our midst, that they cou Id not succeed in
forcing our State into the rebellion. These
doubly-dyed traitors are now in arms against
their State and country, and it is to be expec-
ted That the justice due TO their crime Will
most assuredly overtake them.
Whatever shadow of an excuse the men of
the seeded States may make for their course,
Marylanders have none such; they are the
most infamous of all traitors, and will for all
time TO come be SO considered, and their chill
dren's children will have TO bear a portion of
their shame.
How different is the scene now before lis to
that presented at the time alluded to? Now,
on the eve of that anniversary day, we see
parading our streets, singing their songs of
freedom, four thousand stalwart men of the
despised race for which the rebellion was inau-
gurated to keep in perpetual bondage-l,000
of these from the far East, and the rest ma
tives of our own soil-going forth roiantG-
ruy, and not by force, like the poor conscrip-
ted wretches at the South, TO vindicate their
country's cause, and TO give an evidence OF
their gratitude TO that country for its noble
determination TO free their down-trodden peo-
pie from their CALLING bondage. What change
And these are only of that particular class
and are as but handful to the numerous
hosts of our glorious sons who are passing
on to the scenes of future conflict

DEsTITUrIoN.-Mrs. Betsey i. Elliot, wife
of VIM. S. Elliot, soldier in the 18th Maine
regiment, died yesterday afternoon, at her res
idence corner of Middle and Hampshire
streets, after an illness Of three or four days,
Of pleurisy fever. Officer Gerts reports that
he was called in and found her lying dead on
the floor, there being no bed or furniture in
the house and nothing to eat. Her daughter,
about fifteen years old, was the only person
with her. The corpse was lying upon few
rags and there was nothing in the house TO
cover it with. Mr.. Watson Newhall gave the
officer some money, with which he purchased
some food for the daughter.
This family resided, until within a short
time, on Bracket street, and have been re-
ceiying regularly, 81 per week from the city
ever since her husband enlisted. In addition
10 this they have received the allotment
money as fast as it come-though for some
months past none has been received from that
regiment. How such utter desttituion was
brought upon them cannot be accounted for.
Ii is truly sad case and ore that commends
itself to the attention of the charitably dis
posed In our city.

FIREs.-About half past six o'clock yester-
day morning, fire was discovered in bed
room over the kitchen Of the dwelling house
of Mr.. Chas. F. Williams, No. % Franklin
street. II originated from detect in fiue
Of the chimney. The fire was confined to the
room where it originated, and the damage,
probably about 500, covered by insurance in
the Howard Office, at the agency of J. b. Car
roll, Esq.
At three o'clock, =. NJ, the hay store of
Messrs. j. Libbey & Son, at the foot OF Union
Street, was discovered to be on fire. 1t caught
in the hay in the rear of the counting-room.
A number Of bales of hay was saved, but the
building was destroyed. There was an insur-
auce of $500 on the building and s400 on the
hay, at the agency of Eliphalet Webster, Esq,
which will probably cover the loss.
The blacksmith shop adjoining, owned by
Mr.. Charles Averill, and occupied by Mr.. A.
c. Hildreth, was slightly injured.
There is no accounting for the cause of this
fire, except that it originated from pipe that
some one was smoking, while in among the
hay. Mr.. Libbey was burned out Of the same
place, July 4, 1861.
