Vandalism.

Some roughs broke into the church
house at Caroline Chapel recently and
damaged the organ purchased about
two months ago by striking the keys
with club. Some parties had been
called down for monkeying with the
organ, and this angered either them
or some of their friends and hence they
just had to do something mean to get
even. The Grand Jury at next court
should investigate the case.

One crowd won't do this because such
a person is concerned in it, and things
are anything but harmonious. In a

together for the common good, and not
keep on saying little mean things and
doing little mean things against one
another. Be charitable and let not

JOHN G. FREMONT. APPOINTED ONE OF THE
FOUR MAJOR GENERALS OF THE REGULAR
ARMY, WHO RETURNED FROM EUROPE
AND REPORTED AT WASHINGTON LATE IN
JUNE, 1861.
Frankfort and attacked them, killing
eight, driving the remainder two miles
and capturing seventeen horses. On
their way back they were in turn at
tackled by seventy-five Of Ashby's com
mand but escaped. Only one man out
of the thirteen was lost on the entire
expedition.
Two more engagements that week
of some consequence were a skirmish
at Bowners, Va, and the capture of
the st. Nicholas by ruse Of the Con
federates. The promotion of Colonel
Benjamin F. Kelley, the hero of the
fight at Philippi, to brigadier general;
excitement at Denver because of the
expedition Of an insurgent force up
Cherry creek, and the arrival of Cen
eral John @. Fremont at Washington
constituted the other notable events.
In the meantime there were impor-
tant movements on foot or in prep
aration by two of the Union a4mies.
After some hesitation and repeated
Urging from Washington, General Rob
ert Patterson was making ready to re-
cross the Potomac at Williamsport.
On June 20 and 80 General Mcclellan
marched his army from Grafton to
Clarksburg. The Confederates were
now in the vicinity Of Beverly and
were under the command of General
Garnett, an experienced officer who
had seen service in the Mexican war.

General Butler had been ordered 10
Fortress Monroe. This was accompa-
MED by the arrest Of Marshal George
p. Kane and later by the police com
missioners of the city. While Mary
land seemingly had been pacified some
weeks earlier, there were still mutter-
ingS. After the arrest of Marshal
Kane and the police commissioners a
quantity of arms and war supplies was
found concealed under the floors and
elsewhere in the city hall. Colonel
John r. Kenly was placed in COM
mand. There was naturally intense
excitement, and fears were expressed
that the police force would not serve
under martial law. These fears proved
groundless for the most part, but Colo
mel Kenly deemed it wise to swear in
several hundred Union sympathizers.
This practically ended the attempt
Of southern sympathizers to take Mary
land out of the Union. Many of them
left the state and enlisted in the Con
federate armies. 1t was during this
period Of turmoil and suspense that
James Ryder Randall, native Of the
state, but at this time a professor of
literature in Louisiana, wrote the noble
song Maryland"
The despots heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That f1ecked the streets of Baltimore
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland, my Maryland!
There were no very important ac-
lions during the week. On June q
the Freeborn landed a company of men
at Matthias point, on the shore Of the
Potomac. These were engaged most
of the day in throwing up breastworks.
just as they were ready to return to
the boats they were attacked by sew
eral hundred COnfederates. The Free
born began a bOmbardment under
which the men safely got on board
some of them swimming, but Captain
James III. Ward of the Potomac flo
tilla, who was with the Freedom, was
killed. From this and previous en-
gagements the Federals learned one
important lesson-that it was a waste
Of time, ammunition and life to bonn
bard these points along the Potomac
unless there was a sufficient land force
to hold them.

Lew Wallace Fools Enemy.

After Colonel Lew Wallace's victory
at Romney, in western Virginia, he re-
turned to Cumberland and there for
a month was threatened by a superior
Confederate force who cut his commu-
nications and isolated him. With only
a few rounds of ammunition and scant
supplies, Wallaces position became
desperate. He sent his sick to Bed
ford, Pa, and started as if to follow
them. When outside the town, how
ever, he faced about ready to give bat
tie. This movement disconnected a
force Of the enemy approaching Cum
berland, and they turned aside, after
which Wallace once more entered the
town. On June 26 a force of thirteen
picked men from MS reSfino--+-~4.

letter contained other fearful and Won

an elated editorial thereon. Two OF

following:
THE NATIONS WAR CRY.
Forward to Richmond! Forward
to Richmond! The Rebel Congress
must not be allowed to meet there
on the goth of July! BY that date
the place must be held by the Ma
tionaI Army!
This was printed in italics and small
caps and was repeated day after day
for several weeks.
The Tribune had now become rather
FESTIVE under the delay to get action
and was caustic in it's criticisms Gen
eral Robert Patterson it acccsed of
'moping" because he did not follow
up and attack General Joseph e. i. ohu
stOn after the evacuation of Harper'
Ferry. Editor Horace Greeley showed
almost equal Impotence with General
Scott Even the administration was
not immune from his pen.
One of the things that aroused the
Tribune editors ire was the talk of
compromise. At this late day the
peace discussion had nearly all died
out, but there was still an occasional
rumor of southern delegations in
Washington to offer terms of settle
ment. These reports were as SO many
red rags to Mr.. Greeley. One of his
standing slogans was "No compromise
with traitorsr' The endeaFing epithets
were by no means confined to the
north. In Virginia they were calling
General Scott traitor" and an ''arch-
traitor" (Scott was q native of Vir-
gin1a) and Lincoln an illinois ape"
and "beast." Nor were the family
quarrels restricted to the north Gree
ley may have scolded because there
was not more energy displayed at
Washington, but this very week came
a report that General Robert &c. Lee
had threa ,ened to resign because of
differences with Jefferson Davis and
