bold mountaineers of India from whom the
weapons spoken of take their name It
also remains to be told how, To- all appear
ance, similarly unequal contests are
wa%ed in parts Of AmaZonia between men
armed only with short heavy spears, and
a wild beast SO formidable as an American
tiger.
Tribes living on the banks of the Madeira,
as well as those along the course OF other
flvers belonging to- this great system, use
the bow and 2rrOw far more frequently than
they do net. hook lance or h2rpOon.

Standing like a statue on some rock or

goes by swimming deep within sunlit
waters, and, of course, not at all in the
place where it seems to be. one Of these
Indians WI let fly his arrow with an
almost unfa:ling certainty of aim.
This, however, is the attractive, the
picturesque side of aboriginal exploits in
an aquatic way. 1t is not the same when
one sees these stupid and wasteful bar
barians throwing boat-loads of spoiled fish
away, because they could not hold their
hands while the shadows yet swarmed, or
any more victims remained to be take

When Il river is in food and vast numbers

mately confined by the drying up OF con-

serve our soil from being polluted with the
blood of brethren.
Thus, if war must be between the North
and South, we may force the contending
parties to transfer the field of battle from our
soil, so that our lives and property may be
secure.
DECISION NOT TO sECEDE
The Legislature, thus instructed, de-
cided not to secede from the Union
unanimously in the Senate, 50 to 13 in
the House-but proceeded to pass an
act to provide for the public safety, con-
stituting a estate Board" of seven,
whereof all were rank Secessionists but
Gov. Hicks; which Board was to have
full control over the organization and
direction of the military forces of Mary
land, appointing all officers above the
rank of Captain.
This Board was to have full power
to adopt measures for the safety, peace
and defense of the State; and was di-
rected to prescribe no officer for " his
political opinions" Its oath of office
included no promise of allegiance to
the Federal Constitution or Govern
ment.
The purpose of this measure was more
fully developed by report from the
Committee on Federal Relations, in
which the President was charged with
acts of tyranny and schemes of subjuga.

ton; and the attempt tobring the State,
step by step, into lcollision with the
Federal Government clearly revealed.
But by this time the strength and reso-
luton of the Free States had been
demonstrated, and sthe sober second
thought of Maryland began to assert its
ascendancy.
The violence and preternatural ac-
tivity Of the Secessionists had for time
concealed the paucitr Of their numbers,
but it was now evident that they were
scarcely third of the entire white pop
ulation, and less than a fourth in all
that maj portion of the State lying
north and west of Baltimore.
BUTLER TAKES POSSESSION.
A Home Guard of Unionists was
organized in Frederick, comprising her
most substantial citizens A great
Union meeting was held in Baltimore
on the evening of May a, whereat the
creation of the Board of Public Safety,
and all kindred measures, were unspar-
inglv denounced.
Next day Gen. Butler pushed forward
two regiments from the Annapolis juno
ton to the Relay House, nine miles from
Baltimore, and controlling the commu-
nications between that city and Fred
erick. On the 9th force of 1900
men from Perryville debarked at Locust
Point, Baltimore, under cover OF the
guns of the Harriet Lane, and quietly
opened the railroad route through that
city to the Relay House and Washing.
ton, encountering no opposition.
Gen. Butler took permanent military
possession OF the city on the 18th, while
a force of Pennsvlvanians from Harris
burg advanced to Cockeysvile, reopen
ing the Northern Centr..l Railroad. The
Legislature adopted on the 10th the fol
lowing:
Whereas the war against the Confederate
States is unconstitutional and repuguant To
civilization. and will result in bloody
and shameful overthrow OF our institutions
and, while recognizing the Obligations oi
Maryland to the Union. we sympahize with
the South iii the struggle for their rights
for the sake of humanity, we are for peace
aud reconciliation, anI solemnly protest
against this war. and will take no part IN it.
RcSoiUcd That Maryland implores the
President, in the name of God. to cease this
unholy war, at least until Congress Assem- bles;
that Mary land desires and Consents to the
recognition of the independence OF the Con
fcderate States. The military o'cnpation OF
Maryland is unconstitutional, and she pro-
tests aginst it, though the violent interference
with the transit of Federal troops is dis
countenaDced that the vindication OF her
rights be left to time and reason. and that Il
convention, under existing circumstances, is
inexpedient.

SECESSION FEVER sUBsiDEs.

The Federal authority having been
fully re-established in Baltimore, and
the Union troops within or upon her
borders decidedly ou:numbering the
Confederate, the secession fever in the
veins of her people subsidized as rapidly
as it had risen.
Having been accustomed from time
immemorial to acquiescel in whatever the
slaveholding interest proposed, and see
ing that interest thoroughly affiliated
with the plotters Of disunion, the great
majority had consulted ewhat seemed
the dictates of prudence and personal
safety by flocking to wha: appeared, in
view of the temporary weakness and
paralysis of the Federal Government,
the strong side-the side whereon were
evinced confidence, energy, and decis-
ion.
Under like influences, Maryland
would have been voted out of the Union
as promptly and by as decisive a majority
as Virginia or Tennessee was. Another
weeks exhibition of the spirit in which
Mayor Brown and the Young Christians
were allowed to press their impudent
demands at the White House, and to re-
turn thence to Baltimore not even
arrested, would have thrown her head
long into the arms OF treason.
Her Legislature finally adjourned on
the 14th, after having sent an embassy
to Montgomery in quest of "peace,"
which was so received and answered by
Davis as to convey to the South the i'm
preston that Maryland was in sympathy
with the rebellion.
On the 14th, also, Gov. Hicks issued
an official proclamation calling for four
regiments of volunteers, in answer to
the Presidents requisition. The route
through Baltimore being fully re-opened,
and communication restored between the
Free States and Washington, the safety
of the Capital was secured; regiment
after regiment pouring into it by almost
every train, until, by the end Of May,
not less than $4,000 men-raw and un-
disciplined, indeed, but mainly of the
best material for soldiers-held the line
of the Potomac, or guarded the APP
proaches to the Capital.
And still, from every side, the people
