70 the Editor of NE Daily .Ntus:
SIR,--The interest with which the
account Of the death Of Colonel Shaw
at the head Of bis negro troops was
read in the papers Of the day, must
have bJen vastly quickened by Mrs.
Guskell's narrative in the last num-
Der Of Macmillan.
Whatever verdict posicrity may
pass on Slouemall Jackson, Robert
Gould Shaw will be a hero in all
time.
If the admirers Of Southern galan-
try could aise a memorial TO the one
--coud not the friends Of the North
aud Of freedom contribute a memorial
to tie other? Such a memorial would
be a graceful tribute Of sympathy at
the present day, and in The days TO
come a record that there were at least
some Enghsbmen whose hearts beat
Tor freedom IN that great struggle !;
and no nobler epilaph were needed
than the reply of his enemies to he
request for his body:
We have buried him with bis
niggers.'

Emancipation yo,e in Mary,amd.

BALTIMORE, April 9.
Baltimore city gives 9041 for a Convention
and 10 against. The unconditional anti-com-
pepsation ticket gets the entire vote cast The
vote is light, there being no opposition. The
Ith District gives 1876 majority for Convention
and unconditional emancipation; Cumberland
gives 470 majority for unconditional emanci-
patton; Frederick district gives the Conven-
ton and emancipation ticket 4S0 majority |;
The ballot box of the Jackson district was
taken possession Of by Copperheads about 2
o'clock and totally destroyed. Detachments
of Col. Coles Cavalry and the 7th Maryland
Reg, have gone to arrest the parties. The
9TH district of Cecil county gives 305 majority
for the Convention and emancipation.
Second Dispatch-The 9th district OF SOM
ers County gives 10 against a Convention ;
the 9TH district of Worcester County gives
30 majority for the Convention; Cumberland
County will give not less than 100 majority
for the Convention and emancipation; Hayre
de Grace, in Hartford County, gives 156 maj.
for the emancipation ticket. The Convention
is doubtless called by large majority.
Third Dtspatch-Returns thus far received
indicate majority Of not less than 1900 for
a Convention. Annapolis gives 1888 majority
for the Convention and the conservative tick
ct; Washington County gives about 2000 ma
jority for the Convention and unconditional
emancipation.
Fourth Dispdtch-The American estimates
that there will be majority in the Conven-
ton OF at least 20 for immediate and uncon-
ditional emancipation.

WASHINGTON, April 6.
The total defeat of the National Bank or
currency bill by SO large vote as two-thirds
astonished both its friends and foes, especially
as so much time had been consumed in efforts
to perfect it. All of the amendments made In
committee Of the whole, about sixty in num-
Der, had been concurred in. The Committee
on Ways and Means were willing to adopt all
but two, and hence Representative Stevens
offered a substitute, differing from the amend
ed bill only in the following particulars, viz: :
Restoring the uniform seven per cent. interest
and leaving it under National not State leg
islation, and omltting the section which left
the capital stock of the institution to be taxed
the same as the property of individuals for
State and municipal purposes. The House
emphatically disagreed to this substitute.
This was the turning point in the controversy
of the test that determined whether the bill,
containing the clauses obnoxious to the prom
inent friends OF the measures, should pass the
House, so it was laid on the table on the mo-
tion of Mr.. Stevens, some of his own political
friends voting with those on the opposite side,
who were from the besinning opposed TO this
measure of finance.
George Thompson, of England, delivered a
lecture in the hall of the House of Represen-
tatives tonight to an audience, including
President Lincoln, Secretaries Chase and
Usher, many members of both branches of
Congress, and not few ladies. A band of
musicians were in attendance. Vice President
Hamlin introduced the lecturer and at its
close Mr.. Thompson received the congratula
tions of large number of distinguished gem
tlemen, among whom was particularly noticed
Senator johnson, of Maryland.
