Nor ALL OF ONE oPINIoN.-While the yankee
people are going into ecstacies at what they pro-
TESS to think the 'overthrow of the rebellion,
ofthe newspapers of that section sensible enough
TO perceive that the rebellion Is not Crushed ont
yet, and predict that Lincoln still has hard job
before him. The New York News thus speaks of
the present years campaign:
1.-The indications generally are that the campaign
in every direction will close with advantage to the
Confederate arms. Nevertheless. the Administra-
ton organs insist that the Confederacy is lettering
to its fall and the oft broken promise of the speedy
conquest of the South is asserted with vehem-
than ever. TO strengthen Mr.. Lncolns position
in the coming election: We enter the fourth year
of the war with the same reckless prophecies of fri
umph that were heard at the beginning. and with
the absence of foundation for the prediction.
But. although the struggle retains its indecisve
pect, fearful change is evident in its attributes.
more relentless and sanguinary spirit is percept-
BILE in the conduct of the the part of the Ad
and deeper hatred, sterner, dead
lier and more implacable temper among the South
crn people The ashes of peaceable homesteads
wantoniy committed to the flames. the destruction of
the fruits of the earth of the implements of hns-
bundry of objects Of art and science, and of edces
devoted to instruction and literary progress, have
worked an Internal spell that lets loose into the
arena the ungovernable passions and furious anti
patEes that cancel all hope of reconciliation. The
blasts of Winter will aSsail thousands of Southern
keep off the storm. except where already over
tasked charity will give them shelter. The ruth
e>s order Of Federal general has swept their hab
atons from the face of the earth, and given to the
flames the stores of grain that Providence had
YOU chsGfed from the soil for their subsistence.
There is not Southern soldier that will not hold
himself the ayeng.r Of those wanton crueties;
md every mother, sister, wife and child that has
been driven to face the pitiless rage of Winter will
end champions to the field inspired by the memory

MARYLAND.-A vote recently had in Mary
land on tie adoption of Constitution declar
ing the abolition of slavery. The convention that
adopted the Constitution bogus affair. aud
the recent vote controlled by Lincoln's hirel
ings The home vote stands II, $50 against the
Constitution to 11246 for it, but the soldiers vote
turned the scale in favor of the constitution by $50
majority. The whole vote cast in the State was only
26,529, while in 1860 Maryland voted 92.5O2. So
it that 65073 did not vote at the late election
they feared to express their sentiments. This
shows how much liberty there is in Mr. Lincoln's
dominions. But if those in Maryland who OPP
posed to the Northern tyrants, would out and
join Gen. Lees army. Maryland could secure her
rights and her people freed from yankee rule. In
stead of doing this many of those now in
vice suing out wrts of habeas corpus and pro-
curing discharges and going back to Maryland to
live under yankee rule.
