! ~ Sometimes we hear the adherents OF de-
mocracy and rebellion, mention persons upon
| whom the provisions of the Registry law are too
strenuous. Only the other day we heard the
name of prominent gentleman mentioned as one
who should be registered, who had done moth
ing, &c. This gentleman was member of the
Legislature in 1861, and on pages 1O7 and 1O8
of the House journal Of that year, among the
proceedings of the. House will be found the fol-

g Whereas, In the judgment OF the General AS
sembly of Maryland, the war now waged by
the Government of the United States upon the
people of the Confederated States is unconstitu-
tional in its origin, purposes and conduct and
repugnant TO civilization and sound policy ::
y therefore,
Resolved by the General assembly Of Maryland,
That the State of Maryland desires the peaceful
and immediate recognition Of the Independence of the
Confederate States, and hereby gives her cordial
consent thereunto.' a7er IA TIL aafa8e.
AT the conclusion of the reading Of the report

Here is an open and public declaration OF sym

their votes as Legislators in favor of the immedi-
ate recognition of the Southern confederacy, and
yet their friends are censuring the registers for

!. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-On Tuesday last, a young
man named Blackjack, aged about nineteen years
residing on the Hartford road, about nine miles
from Baltimore, attempted self-destruction, by
cutting his throat with a razor He first at
tempted toFreach bis heart, and cut very severe
cash in his side, but the razor came in contact
with his ribs, and prevented any serious injury.
He then drew the razor across his throat, nearly
severing the windppe, and walked to an out
house, some fifty or sixty yards distant from his
dwelling, holding bis hand over his throat to
prevent others from seeing what he had DONE
DR.. Saxton, of the neighborhood, and Drs. Jar
rett and Payne, of this town, were Immediately
sent for, and rendered every possible assistance
and at last accounts Mr. Blackjack was still alive
No reason is assigned for the rash act, but it is
believed that he was laboring under temporary
alteration of mind, he having been in i'll health
for some time. The unfortunate young man is
well-known in this community, as he worked
with Mr.. George H. Hughs, coachmaker,yof thi:
town, for some months. A''e ae NNA

Journal of last week, severely abusing and de-
nouncing q constable in the Fourth District,
whom he supposes to be the correspondent who
informed us of his presence and doings at the re-
bel-Johnson meeting at Reisterstown. That the
amable and much abused John (who has never
been in Fort Warren, but who has been In Fort
Lafayette) may not waste his talents by fight
ing shadows or abusing innocent men, we re-
specially inform him that our correspondent at
Reisterstown is not now and never, to our know

other district. And as Mr.. Fisher has taken the
matter of his defence in his own hands, let us
ask him question A friend of his kindly vol
unteered the information that Mr.. Fisher only
reached Reisterstown about the time or after the
organization of the Johnson meeting. Is this

who formally invited the party present to "walk

@~In May last many prominent ldyalists
Of the county united in calling Mass Meeting
of Union citizens at Towsontown. The meeting
was held on the 23d of that month, Was largely
attended, and was addressed by several promi-
nent speakers. On Wednesday, June 9th, the
Union Executive Committee Of Baltimore county,
Cor rather, portion of it, assembled, and pas
sed the following preamble and resolutions
Whereas, The meeting held at Towsontown on
the 23d day of May, 1866, had no
sanction from this Committee or any other au-
thorized organization of the Union party, and
(it) is believed that it was called exclusively at
the instance of few individuals therefore be it
Resolved, That this meeting, representing a
majority of the members of the Unconditional
Union Executive Committee OF Baltimore county,
assembled in pursuance of the call of its Chair
man. claims to be the only legitimate organ of the
Union party in Baltimore county, and that all
other so-called organizations of the Union party
are unauthorized and disoryanizing, and are eti-
tied to no conSiderdtion.p M f Nat
When the 23d Of May meeting was called,
those instrumental in getting it up did not claim
to have the sanction of the Executive Committee
or any other body, but acted on their own re-
sponsiblity, citizens of the county not rretend-
ing to act under authority they did not possess.
If those calling the johnson Mass Meeting on
Tuesday, July oath, had followed this principle,
they would, at least have been entitled to re-
spect; butwhen they lay claim to represent a
majority of the Union Executive Committee, the ID
signatures in another column fastens the stigma
Of faleshood upon them, and renders their con-
duct contemplate. They are dsorganizers !;
they are acting without authority; it is they, a
party and with this object in view, are ready to
ally themselves with the rebels of the county,
and it is they who are entitled to no considera-

will shortly pour goodly number ofhard thaiers,
to the great delectaton of the shareholders, more
especially as no interest whatever is to be paid to
the depositaries, Considering that the Prussans
in cash, besides having supported their armies
throughout nearly the whole campaign at the ex-
pense of their enemies, they will not be much out
of pocket by the late transaction.
Twenty million thalers, part Of the war expenses
to be paid by Austria to Prussia, were dispatched
from Vienna to Berlin recently by a special train
by way of Prague The money was all in silver
thalers, packed in casks, and in the counting of it
twenty officials had been engaged for six days.
The train had an escort of ten bank officials, TWEEN
