~ The military authorities recently
captured the books and papers Of the
"Sons Of Liberty" in Indianapolis and
the reasonable correspondence of Dan
VOORHEES,. Dan denied that the Office IN
which they were found was bis Office.
and we publish Gen. Carrington's letter
to him indicating some of the circum.
stances which seemed to fix the suspi
cion' that VOORHEES, kept his papers there
at least, and the character of those papers
is very graphically sketched by Gen
Darlington in his response to the unhun!
traitor Of Indiana.

LOYALTY REWARDED. 1.-The treasury of
this State is in excellent condition, accord
ing to the recent report of Comptroller
Maffit. The State has, during the year,
redeemed 1922 ,645 worth of its stock, has
paid out $40, 053 for foreign exchange to
pay the interest on part of the public debt
held abroad; has now balance in the
treasury amounting to 81, 030, 527, $685.
543 to the credit Of the sinking fund, and
$50, 1868 to the credit of the school fund
during the past year S270, 624 was invest
ed in the purchase of state stock for the
sinking fund; and there has been de-
crease in the expenditures as compared
with previous years.
These are the benefcent fruits Of Mary
lands faithfulness to the Union. Suppose
her hot-heads and traitors had been able
to draw her, as they tried SO hard to do,
into rebellion? Does any citizen of the
State reading the comfortable report of the
Comptroller, believe that, in such case,
the account would have stood as favorable
as it does? Has Virginia balance in her
treasury? Does Alabama pay the interest
on her debt held abroad? Has South Car
DINA added to her school fund or Geor-
gia to her sinking fund? Have the State
expenses been less this year in any State
in the power of the rebels Verify then
Maryland's wisdom has proved itself of the
true kind, and salvation is the reward she
has reaped.

We do not hear so much lately of the
perfect unanimity' of the southern peo-
pie, of which the English newspapers used
to speak so frequently, as well as certain
copperhead journals of the free States. AS
our iberating armies penetrate into the
southern country and relieve the people of
their oppressors, we learn something of the

cession, the Little Rock Democrat of De.
cember Goth says:
ttIt Is a remarkable fact that for the arms
bearing population left in it, this State, since
the advent of Gen. Steele. has furnished more
volunteers for the Union army than any equal
number elsewhere. Counties where JEFF. Dayiss
conscript officers could not find a score of men.
have since sent full companies to the Union
army
In Tennessee q great part Of the popula-
ton remained stubbornly loyal there is
already one Mississippi regiment in the
service; Western North Carolina is report
ed by the rebel journals to be full of Union
men.
But what are the chief signs of unanim-
ity among great population at war? First,
perhaps, that the armies are kept full by
volunteering. Has volunteering fourished
in the South On the contrary, the south
orn leaders could not even trust their first
six months troops with the choice of re-en-
listing or going home-they forced them to
remain in the field, and at once passed
rigid conscription act, with such pains and
penalties as showed conclusively that even
at that early period in the war, when the
population had not yet been drained of its
arms-bearing class, they knew they were
dealing with people at heart loyal to the
Union, and disinclined to make war upon
their government.
Since then the southern people have be-
come so unanimous" that to find them
even, in order to drag them into the rebel
armies, Davis's conscripting officers have
had to use lood-hounds, and have burned
down the houses of absentees. Is this the
way unanimous" people expresses itself ?
Again, with such universal zeal and fire
for secession and independence" as has
been ascribed to the southern people, is it
not little strange that they SO eagerly take
United States notes, and value so little the
issues of Mr. Memminger? No doubt Mr.
Davis abhors a greenback no doubt
Mr. Memminger hates the sight of one
Toombs, the Rhetts, Benjamin and other
leaders, do not like Mr. Chase's notes.
They are unanimous enough--no one
doubts it, Why are the common people
of the South so different from them? Why
have they SO high an opinion of greenbacks :
Why do they think SO poorly Of Confeder-
ate notes? Are they, perhaps, less g unan-
imous" for secession and a "great slave
empire" than the London Times would
like us to believe?
But perfectly unanimous" people pay
their taxes readily. They do not grumble
at, or eyade, or cheat, or beat the tax-gath-
erer. A few malcontents may resist, but
the great body of perfectly unanimous
people supports with enthusiasm the cause
to which it is devoted We are prepared
therefore, to hear that -" internal revenue"

DIVINE to the increased demand for soft
bread, Capt. Lucas has found it necessary
in order to meet the demand, to prepare
more ovens. Accordingly the bake-oven
attached to the old kitchen has been put in
repairs and commenced operations on Mon
day. Both bakeries now turn out on an
average about seven thousand leaves of
bread per day.

LOUISIANA COMING BAoK Gen. Banks
has issued an order for the State election
on the 22d of February. He says he is
fully assured that more than one-tenth of
the population desire the earliest possible
restoration of Louisiana to the Union. He
declares SO much of the constitution and
laws of the State as recognize, regulate and
relate to slavery being inconsistent with
the present condition of public affairs, and
plainly inapplicable to any class of persons
now existing within its limits, are inopera-
tive and void. The General also appoints
a convention for the revision Of the consti-
tuition, to be held on the first Monday in
May, 1864. Arrangements will be made
for the early election of members of Con-
gress.

own soldiers have been guilty of them and
and in some eases have met with complete
success, and again others have been caught
and punished, but the punishment has been
of such a nature that it has not deferred
others from deserving. Were they to see
that the punishment for desertion would be
prompt and to the utmost severity of the
law, we think where there are ten deserters
now there would not be one then Such
men are too cowardly to risk their lives in
the attempt to get away, but as long as
they can make these attempts without any
serious risks, just so long will they be made.
