Kyf that Virjuia bif seceded, the intuit/
dytoads,* wbatAriltMaryland do?
We cover had any doubt that Virginia would
accede in|time; andfcenao,we have thought the
attacks that have been made on her, by many
of ear friend*, whom ardor waa more charac-
teriaed by impatience than aoiid judgment,
#em on wise and adjust Wo here do doobt
that all the Border State#—Maryland includ
ed—Will secede, and that before long
But Maryland, through the atubbornneaa of
her Governor, ha* had oo opportunity to apeak
out on thia question. Ue baa peraiatently re
fused ib call the Legislature together, that a
Convention ef the people might be called. He
fena not hesitated to express the fear that a
Convention freeh from the people would accede
from the Uoion, which he think* would be a
fearful calamity to the Slate.
Now, however, the people will soon have an
opportunity to speak, which it ia supposed Mr.
Thomas Holliday Hicks will not dare to deny
them. Old Abe has called an extra session of
Ooogresa to meet on the 4th of July ; and, un.
Ices an eleotion for members of Congress ia
held between now and then, the State of Mary
land will be unrepresented in Congress when
it assembles. The laws of Maryland require
that the Governor shall order the election
proclamation, at least twenty-five days before
it is held. It is reasonable to suppose that the
proclamation will soon be issued, snd*the can
didates out before the people. There will be
two tickets in the field—a Union and a Seces
sion ticket—and ^whichever get* the strongest
vote will bo the unerring expression of the sen
timent of the people. If secession gets a ma
jority, of course the Governor will no longer
refuse to call the Legislature together; or if
he should still re'use, the people would be jus
tified in bringing about secession by revolu
tion, and no doubt would proceed to do so at
once.
Ia less than tw-» months Irom this time, we
shall know exactly how the people of Mary
land stand on secession.
“The Confederacy and the Police.”
A writer who sighns himself “ Police" in the
Commonwealth of Friday, calls attention to our
remark, that the police regulations about the
fire on tbe night of the 16th were not good, and
says he does not know to what imperfections
we allude. He goes on to state that the firo
was first discovered and the alarm given by the
pelica^-tbat they rendered all the assistance
in their power, Ac.
We discover that our language is liable to a
construction that did not occur to us, and than
which nothing was further from our thoughts*
We did not complain of the Police—who, so far
as we could see, did their whole duty honestly
and faithfully to their utmost ability, under
the circumstances. We complained of our City
Police regulations at fires, Ac., for the imper
fections ef which oo policeman is responsible.
What we alluded to wae, that tba city au
thorities should have some regulations by which
the crowd gathering around at fires could be
kept off—to form a line, within which no per-
eon should be allowed to enter, except the fire
men and policemen. At the fire on tbe night
alluded to, wa saw large quantities of house
hold goods of every kind, lying about in con
fusion, the crowd all around trampling on and
disarranging them. We saw a number of bacon
hame scattered around over the ground with
tbe throng trampling on them. These things
ought not to be eo. Tbe croud should be kept
off. Goods should be laid in a place by them-
aelvea and well guarded by the police; and if
the regular force is not sufficient, it should be
in the power of soma ona to order into the ser
vice, specially, any required number of per
sons, and in this way protect property and keep
order.
These are the imperfections to which we al
luded, and which wa thiuk our city authorities
ought to remedy.

long years my tongue, cleaving to tha roof of
my mouth, has refused to give utteranoe from

a brilliant concatenation of events ia transpi
ring in such rapid succession, and bursting
open »», surrounding us with a halo of glory,
and inspiring all ages and all sexes, that, who
is there who can keep still or remain silent?
It is enough to loose the tongue of the dumb,
and to cause the lam# to leap with joy! And
more particularly when we see the Flag of our
country floating above us—emblem of our In
dependence—fit object for the devotion and ad
miration of her soon, and fit subject for the
display of the delicate, artistic taste and skill
of her beautiful daughters—telling us, in lan
guage not to be mistaken, the South is redeem -

entrances to the oily have been well guarded
by tha “specials,’* night and day. Indeed,
those in authority think there is indeed reas

to expect tha call to he made, or what will be

knew.
But should this secret force be called out,
thera is danger of there not being much blood
shed, for tbe city force will make searcely a

LETTER FROM DR. H. D. CAPERS.
To tub Euitobs or tub Coxfodbracy :
Gentler ■* :—My attention has been directed
to a communication in your paper from Wil
liam Mackie, In which he claims to have orig-
intted the design for the Revenue Flag of the
Confederate States of America. It having been
published that the Flag adopted waa from a
design submitted by myself to His Exoellaney
the President, and to tha Hon. Secretary of
tha Traaaury, I consider it proper to oorreet tha
iopreeeion made by tha article of Mr. Mackie
alluded to. The design for the Revenue Flag
was prepared without tha knowledge that Mr.
Maekie had submitted nay sock drawings, and
uadar the immediate supervision of tha Secre
tary of the Treasury, whose modification of
my original design was approved by tkoProal-
dent, and Is now in use at tha various porta
along our coast.
The Flag consists of three color*-Blue,
White cod Red—vertically arranged—tka Bine
being one-third wider than the White and Red
and containing ia the upper aad inner cor
ner seven white stars, arranged la a circle.

Martial Law Deflued and IlluNtrated.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Martial Law in the District—The President l T li
able to Suspend the Habeas Corpus Without an
Act qf Congress—Gen. Jackson's Precedent at
New Orleans.
Washington, April 16.
It has been rumored here for a day or two
that “martial law would be declared” hy the
Pret-ident for the District of Columbia. If by
this is meant the suspension of the habeas cor
pus, it cannot be done without an act of Con
grass. Tbe Constitution provides that •* tbe
privilege of tbe writ of habeas corpus shall
not be suspended unless when in cases of re
bellion or invasion the publio safety shall re
quire it. The Constitutions of the several
Stales contain a like restriction upon the
State governments. If an not of Congress be
necessary to empower the President to sus
pend the aril of habeas corpus, it can, how
ever, be passed when that body meets in July.
When Gen. Jackson was charged with the
defense of New Orleans, he applied to the
Legislature of Louisiana, then in session, for
the suspension without delay of the habeas
corpus writ. But that body refused to do it,
and Gen. Jacksou assumed the responsibility
to supersede ttieir deliberations, declaring the
city and environs of New Orleans under mar
tial law. Any delay in this measure General
Jackson considered as dangerous to the publio
interests. Subsequently to the victory of the
8th of January, Gen. Jackson arrested Mr.
Souallieo, a member of the Legislature, on a
charge of exciting mutiny among his troops
by a publication in the Louisiana Gazette.—
Souallien applied to Judge Hall for a writ of
habeas corpus, which waa immediately grant
ed, a hereupon, instead of obeying the writ,
Gen. Jackson arrested the Judge and sent him
to the city prison. The question of Gen. Jack-
son’s power to do this waa for thirty years af-
i topio of party dispute. Tie tint impos
ed by the court on General Jackson for this
aot was remitted by an act of Congress in
1814.
Governor Stevens, of Washington Territory,
suspended the writ of habeas corpus during
the war with the Indians, and tbe act was dis
approved by the executive government. It
occasion called for the suspension of the writ
here before the meeting of Congress, that bo
dy would do doubt approve or disapprove it
by a party vote.
Perhaps, however, what is meant by mar
tial law, as being likely to prevail here, is
nothing more than the fact that all troops
mustered into the service of the United States
are subject to tbe articles of war as prescrib
ed by acts of Congress. AQA.

Trowbridge did sail for this aouairy, and
arrived at New York in July left. There he
failed to obtain etn ploy men f, aud aeon after
landing got engaged in some criminal trans
actions, and left for the West to escape from
the officere of justice. He came to Chioago in
August, and went to work in an upholstery
as a salesman.
In about a month, the gay young English
man m ids the acquaintance of a sewing girl
we will call Anna. After a courtship of but
two months he married her, presenting her
tbe ring, the duplicate of which had previous
ly been given to Ellen McCarthy, in the old
country. Then commenced a system of rogue
ry. lie rented a bouse on the West Side, fur
nished it elegantly from the money aud goods
filched from bis employers, and seemed to live
on the “fat of the land,” until one morning
be suddenly disappeared, since which time
nothing has been heard from him. His aban
doned wife wae again compelled to earn her
livelihood hy laboring with her needle occu
pying humble apartments in the .South divi
sion.
One day Anus received a letter directed to
Mr. John Trowbridge. Without suspecting ii
was for any other than Mrs John Trowbridge,
she broke the seal. The oontente were strange
enough. The missive was signed “Ellen Mc-
Cbartby.” Yes, Ellen had waited long nud
dreary months for the promised letter from
John Trowbridge, and iheu with the fruits of
her shame in her arms had set out for this fair
country in search of him. She had traced
him to this city, and being unable to find his
whereabouts, she had addressed him a note.
This bad fallen into the hands of wio^ed John’s
second victim. Anna determined to seek El
len out, tnd she found her and bad an inter
view. The eyes of each rested upon the du
plicate rings wheo tbe two met and shook
bauds. The pledges of bis faithless troth were
there, but Trowbridge was far away. When
Ellen saw the ring Anna wore, she sank help
Ices to the floor. The full villiany of her se
ducer was then apparent.
Tbe unfortunate Iriah girl and child are now
with tome charitable people, who were early
made aware of her hopeless circumstances.—
Meanwhile, a suit for divorce is in progress
for the relief of Anna. It is thought by the
detective that John Cornell, of whom men
tion is made in another paragraph os having
deserted a wife here and married another in
Memphis, is the identical Trowbridge, now
carrying on hi* vile practice under an assum
ed name.—Chicago Tribune.

Fort Pickens.
Aga, the Washington oorreeponcent of the
Baltimore Sun, sajs :
Unless the net-work of fortifications about
Pickens cau be turned hy land operations, it
must speedily share the fate of Sumter. A
fortress may be impregnable against a fleet,
but none can withstand regular approaches
by superior forces. Had Major Anderson
shelled all points about him, when he first en
tered Sumter, hemight have long protracted the
construction of the many batteries more pow
erful than kis own, that In the end forced him
to suocumb. But in respect to opening fire,
he was hampered by his government, and it is
a wonder that hie little band displayed*so much
en«rgy against terrific fires, both from within
and without. It is not unlikely that Piekens
it as closely invested by superior forces, both
in respect to men and tbe calibre of guns, as
was Sumter, but of the intention of the gov*
eminent to hold it, and to fortify other points
in Florida, there can be no doubt.
Memphis Secede*.
The following resolution was adopted by a
meeting of the citizens of Memphis, Tennes
see, a few evenings ago:
Afterwards, Col. E. W. Munford came out,
and though having been a co-operator, with
tbe Union party, he said that the day of divi
sions at the South had passed. His heart,
soul, and wordly means were now enlisted in
the defense of Southern rights against
Northern aggression. He offered the follow-
iog resolution:
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed by the ehair to inform President
Davis that the city of Memphis baa seoeded
from tha lete United States, forever— and that
the placet herself under the Government ot
the Confederate States, and will respood to
any call for aid from him.
It is impossible to deecribo the wild enlbu»
siasm, as evidenced by the deafening shouts
of approbation aud tbe rapid waving to and
fro of hats and hands, that pervaded tbe as
sembly upon the reading of this resolution.—
Tha shouts that went up from near the three
thousand throats, proclaimsd its unanimous
passage.

himself neutral, when Lincoln is invading the
