now we will proceed to discuss what bad
better be done
So my uncle, having satisfied his fo-
rensc mind by placing the question in its
correct legal bearing, yielded TO his nat
ural kindly heart, and sympathized with
my unfortunate love-tTouble as fully as
an unprofessional uncle might have done.
The position was certainly awkward.
But while it was simply unpleasant to
me, for Lefty it was really serious. To
be the subject of comment for the sneers
aud iuuendoes of the malicious and the
spiteful, is bad enough in an extensive
sphere; in the little circle that constitu-
ted the Bay field world, it was social
death. Lefty must be rescued from this
situation without delay. Ny uncle there.

to the Ferns, and propose in due form for
the immediate recognition of our engage

offended by a mesalliance, while was

MILITARY ENTHUSIASM AT
- BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE. July 10.-6A. NJ The
excitement is intense this morning.
The Union citizens have been arm
ing all night, an at six o clock this
morning alarm bells rang. Parties,
headed by drum and fife, are march
ing though town to man the defensive
works. Our citizens are turning out
with spirit, and manifest the deter
minatIon to do the utmost to defend
the city.
The enemy are now reported to be
at EIlicott's Mills. General Wallace
is falling back toward the city The
telegraph. however. is still work ng
to Marriottsville, which is beyond
Ellicott's Mills, so that the report OF
the rebels being there is premature.
Their scouts, however. are believed
to have been within Is miles of the
city.
We are still not without good
hope of being able to prevent the
entrance of the rebels into the city.
The secesh who have property and
stocks of goods on hand here are
by no means pleased at the prospect
of exchanging their goods for rebel
money They much prefer green
backs, notwithstanding their sympa.

The news from the army has
again become interesting. The reb-
els after the withdrawal of Hunter
forces from Lynchburg, concluded te
carry the war into Maryland, and
further if practicable. The latest
kilograms place them within four
miles Of Baltimore. The force in the
vicinity Of Baltimore seems to be
chiefly cavalry. The dwelling of
Gen. Bradford 4 miles from the city
is reported destroyed. Baldy Smith S
18th Army Corps, reached Balti-
more on Sunday evening. General
Hunter, with a portion of his forces,
is in the rear of the enemy. Gen.
Lew. Wallace in front. Gems Crook
and Averill moving in the same di-
rection.
1t is hardly probable the enemy
can eject anything very serious,
whilst the results to them. may be
very disastrous In the excited
state Of affairs, it is impracticable to
arrive at any definite conclusion as
to their probable force or ultimate
designs. Some think their attack
on Baltimore only a feint, to cover
their designs on Washington.
The loyal citizens of both places
are preparing for the struggle,
whilst the resident traitors and Cop
perheads are preparing for flight, Or
are terribly frightened A day or
two will develop the whole affair

The I3Sth Indiana, armed with seven

in the division were no larger than
