Some of the disloyal in Maryland are about
to reap the reward of their hostility to the Gov
ernment of the United States and their sympa-
thy with the rebellion. Secretary Stanton in
an official bulletin says, and says truly, that
the counties of Prince Georges, Charles and
St. Mary have, during the whole war, been
noted for hostility to the Government, giving
protection to Rebel spies and every species Of
the public enemy. The murderers of the Pres
ident harbored there before the murder, and
Booth fled in that direction. The Secretary
states that the military commanders will speed
lily take measures to bring these sympathzers
and accomplices in the murder to sense of
their criminal conduct. Hundreds of renegade
citizens of Maryland are nOE returning from
the Rebel army and scattering themselves over
the State. The loyal people oppose this, and
meetings are being held in several counties OF
the State to give expression to the sentiment
Of the people Frederick and Carroll counties,
with others we believe, have resolved that they
shall not come among them, and have appOin-
ted committees to enforce their absence. They
have no right in Maryland, having voluntarily
expatriated and disfranchised themselves, and
should not be allowed to return.

The Old Year,

The dark shades of death are gathering
about the eyes Of the Old Year, and in few
more days it will be buried amongst the
things of the past, but not in oblivion. A
year SO fraught with startling incidents and
events of weighty importance can never sink
into oblivion. 1t has its record stamped in
letters of blood and fire upon the tablets OF
the worlds history. and that record will be
seen and read throughout all ages by all men.
OF all the nations on earth none have been so
blessed as has been the United States. An
all.wise and ever watchful Providence has
guided us through the pcrils of terrible con-
Hict, and placed us in an envahle position
bef r. the world. At the close Of the last
year the echoes of terrible battle still
fingered on the waters of the Cumberland, and
along the rich vallies of Tennessee. Hosts
of armed rebels defed the law and the gov
eminent of their country. Our land was
drcnched in blood, and still the monster trea
son reared its head and bid US defiance. Our
national troubles occupied all our attention,
and foreign puppet was placed upon throne
which had been reared in the heart of our
sister Republic, Mexico, by the prevalence Of
might over right, and in direct opposition to
the oft expressed policy of our government.
Rebel pirates swarmed upon every sea by the
aid and countcnance of British officials and
British subjects We we're laughed at, and
bullied, and misrepresented. and our down.
fall was a foregone conclusion, and France
and England were delighted with the pros
pect, and made every preparation for securing
the,spoils. A change was speedily wrought
With swift and heavy blows, the arm of re-
belion was beaten down, our national authori
ty re.establshed, and our government placed
upon q firm basis To-day we are regarded
with envy, and our power is respected. We
are now in a position to demand that respect
to which We are entitled, and mono dare re
fuse it.
We are now blessed with peace ant
plenty. and while the past year has been
remarkably eventful one, it has been fraugh
with Glad results for us as nation, and TO
the world in the cause of humanity.
While we rejoice over the success and tn
blessings which have been vouchsafod US, W
drop 9 tear Of purest sorrow to tho memor.
Of that great and good and honest man VIII
suffered martyrdon for his country. Hi
n.me will ever he classed with that of Wash
ingt,p, ana his memory sacredly enshrined ii
the hearts of his fellow citizens, who ha'
learned to love him as father. and to con
fde in him as q most faithful ruler.

France and Mexico.

The following highly important statement
is made in Paris (Dec. y correspondence OF
the Liverpool Journal:
The affairs of Mexico have come at last to
the crisis anticipated by wise men from the
very first, but not anticipated even by them
to take place quite so soon. The difficulties
which have arisen between the court of the
Tuileries and that of the Emperor Maximl-
liam, with the bold determination OF the
American government with regard to Juarez,
have renewed the rumor of the secret treaty
of Miramar, which empowers the Emperor to
withdraw his troops at any time from Mexico
whenever Maximllian's payments should be
two months in arrcar.
The pretext would be curious enough on
the part of Power which pr;des itself on
concliating for IDEAS alone. Louis Philippe,
whose system differed with this ideal one of
Louis Napoleon. declared the country rich
enough to pay for any amount OF glory 1t
might choose to purchase. But, in this case
the pretext will be seed without scruple by
the Emperor, who, in presence of the irrlta-
ton displayed by the United States, is resell
we'd to avoid further complication OF the
difficulties amid which he has so thoughtlessly
rushed. The cause of the GOODNESS between
the two Empcrors is the refusal by Maximil-
ian to receive as Minister of France the in
valuable treasure sent him in that capacity in
the person of NJ. Langlais.
Macmillan. whose whole life has been
spent in lodging his duns is scarcely green
enough to confde his purse itself to one OF
his most urgent creditors The message
from the United States, of which Gen Scho-
field is undoubtedly the bearer, whatever the
agreeable journals may declare to the con-
trary, has caused the greatest ire at Complcene
Maxin,iian has given orders for the evacua'
