I From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 16th.
! A Trip to the North-Pertonal Oh.erwa-
at (ion* in Ynnhee Land*
JAMES M’FUEESON & CO.’S * ! ed F to 0 Gtis n oity e ye^rday from a perilous and
interesting trip aoross the border, we have
•, 4, some accounts of Yankee affairs. In order to
I,ynw ■ preserve the interest of the narrative, we pre
sent it to our readers in the words of the in
telligent and daring traveller, who has given
us the benefit of his observations .
CROS8INQ THE POTOMAC.
After some unnecessary delay at the office
of Gen. Winder, we secured a pass and start
ed for the Great City. In a few days we
reached the banks of the Potomac, whitened
by the sails of commerce and blackened and
disgraced by Yankee tags and gunboats.
The night was dark and chilly, and for ten
hours did we labor against tide and shoal
water. A beautiful grey dawn brought us
within close proximity to Maryland, and in a
few moments I expected to place my foot in
trepidation and stealth upon the shores of
despotism. My position as helmsman gave
me an unlimited view, and, to my dismay, I
perceived a Yankee gunboat ^pank in our line
of progress. Steam was up, and she seemed
ready for business. The announcement of
the stranger threw the crew into momentary
confusion, and I was ordered by the Captain
to bear hard down the right, and bring in a
sharp point of land between us and the steam
er. I did so. Running a half mile down,
we grounded, within two hundred yards of
the shote. -It was now broad daylight, and
tugs seen everywhere. Thinking only of
personal safety, it was determined to aban
don the boat. I jumped into the water, and
waded out and made for the woods. Our poor
Captain and two free negroes were not so for
tuna e; they were afterwards captured, and
now languish as prisoners in the old Capitol.
Making my way to a house, I began, for
the first lime in my life, to experience the
meaning of the words tyrant and tyranny.—
The gentleman was a slave holder, and hence
a friend at heart of the South, but so great
is the fear which Lincoln has inspired in Ma
ryland, that he was afraid to extend the com
monest rites of hospitality. “Youmay come
in, sir,” said he, with a manner which plain
ly and painfully revealed his disinclination
to receive me, “ but I can offer no guarantee
for your safety ” Being seated, he began to
narrate the petty acta of despotism to which
he had been subjected. His house had been
searched without warrant; his beds turned
the’pnvhcy arms Wtre'B chamber violated ;
his children insulted, and his own feelings, as
a father, outraged; his negroes corrupted and
bribed as spies, and his very life and liberty
threatened. I went out on the porch to watch
a Yankee gunboat lying in view; he came to
me, and in an excited manner exclaimed, “ do
not stand out there, sir; you will be seen,
and in thirty minutes my house will be made
the scene of an official visit. Come in and
keep yourself concealed or you must seek
some other place of safety.” 1 oor man ! I
could not blame him. He was liabte to be
seized at any moment; torn from the bosom
of his family; dragged away to prison, and
confined there without law and without mer
cy. Any vile miscreant, or the testimony of
his bribed slaves, could condemn him as a
Southern sympathizer, confiscate his proper
ty and turn his helpless family as beggars
upon the world. The Black Republicanism
of America, like the the Bed Republicanism
o’ France, is hell-born ; and well might Mad
am Roland exclaim, “ Oh Liberty! What
crimes are perpetrated in thy name.”

They all seem to be in the form of a circle
with thick dirt walls guarded by a deep ditch;
and mounted with fasoLaes (or dirt baskets)
to protect them from the attack of musketry.

The*most painful sight to a lover of liberty
is the huge prison, constructed out of the
old Capitol. With inexpressable pam I saw
faces peering from behind ironhars uponthe
evmbols of despotism beneath. How little
did that army of revolutionary patriots
dream, that before their grand-children were
men the halls consecrated by a splendid elo
quence and unparalleled devotion to freedom
of opinion and freedom of speech should
become a lotthsome abiding place for thew
sons, charged with no crime but love for their
land of nativity. If there m a spot on the
green earth where the philosopher should
come to meditate upon the folly, the wicked-

Despising their.hateful oppressors, the streets
have been shunned as places upon every turn
of which are seen evidences of their pres

THE TYRANNY OF ABOLITION RULE.
We must here digress for a moment to
speak of one impression which can never be
effaced from the mind of him who abhors
the wicked abuse of delegated power. The
spirit of poor Maryland is broken. That
sentiment of noble daring and elevated pa
triotism which o_n.Cv characterized her sons
has been shivered by the stroke of a despot’s
sceptre. Men now cower as slaves, where
they once trod as freemen. It is shameful,
it is humiliating beyond expression. Coul.l
tears blot out the stains of her oowardice, I
would gladly say, “Oh, that my head wore
waters and mine eyes fountains of tears’”—
Arrests without trial or hearing, confiscation,
imprisonment, spies and espionage, have done
the work. YY’hen I entered. Washington the
same cordial welcome, the same pleasant
greeting was anticipated which was hitherto
extended, but my best friend beheld me with
terror—they shunned me as if I had been a
mad dog. I sent for one, he came, and we
met in a darkened chamber to converse in a
low whisper lest the dumb walls should hear
and proclaim the conclave. “You must leave
the city” were almost his first words, “or in
twenty-four hours you will be arrested aud
imprisoned.” But who knows it, I asked.-*—
“Everybody will know it. There are spies
in the street and in the house, and your best
friend may betray you. Money had corrupt
ed the best, and the dungeons terrified the
bravest. No man here is sure of his liberty.
for a day, much less a Confederate. No long
er than yesterday they arrested Mr. Blank,
a citizen of Georgetown, and carried him to
the old Capitol. My advice is to leave, and
that instantly.” “Well, where shall I go ?”
“Any where is safer than here. Go to R
the proclamation has made every man in the
town and county secessionist. You will find
friend.”
We met again by appointment, and it was
amusing to wacth his nervous deportment
and the anxious solicitude depicted on his
countenance*.. I entered his office as stealth
ily as a thief. He closed the window blinds,
locked the door, and drew his chair close
to me that we might converse in a whis
per. During the conversation I forgot the
tfc*n tjiiman. Itff 100K~
ed up in alarm, crying hush ! I could not but
ask is this the land of liberty 1 At the ex
pirationof an hour, he signified it was time
to withdraw. After the compliments of the
evening, I approached the door—he caught
me by the arm, and drew me aside, assumed
a listening attitude for a few seconds, then
turned off the gas, unlocked the door, reoon-
noitered the street, and beckoned me to move
on. We proceeded cautiously for two or three
squares, when he halted, frankly told me he
could see me no more, and bid me farewell
Now this man possesses a heart as warm
and generous as ever beat in a man’s besom ;
and is a secessionist; but the oorrupt atmos
phere of abolition domitf&tion has blighted
the flowers which, would beautifully bloom on
a soil so noble.
THE HOTEL.
I proceeded to a first class hotel, where,
amid Yankee majors, colonels, lieutenants,
high privates and insolent detectives, we en
joyed ourselves without turning grey from
fright. The rooms were elegantly furnished,
lighted with gas, convenient washing appa
ratus, fine bed, clean lmen, and with a splen
did view of the Smithsonian Institute aud
the Washington Monument unfinished.—
Breakfast came redolent with good things—

Major L , a prim, elaborately
dividual, shaved to a hair, perfumed and rut-
fled. He was a tailor in Philadelphia, cut
and fitted a coat elegantly, and because ot
this noble occupation it was vainly imagined
he would make a dashing officer in cavalry,
where cutting and slashing was to be expec
ted. Colonel G wa* a hatter in some pro
vincial town of the Empire State. He was
an industrious man, had accumulated money,
bnilt a fine house, and considers his election
to a colonelcy and the donning of Uncle yam’s
regalia as the acme of human glory. His
wife, common and low born as he, is infatu
ated with her unexpected good fortune, sports
her silks and diamonds, and pitches into a
boiled lobster as her heroic husband is ex
pected to pitch into the barbastans of the
South. The staple of her conversation is a
stereotyped glorification of the “grand army
of the North, the wiedom and intellectual cul
ture of its officers, and a vulgar depreciation
of her Southern superiors. Captain H—--
was a saloon keeper, a jolly good fellow, who
had the happy faculty of standing erect un
der more whisky than any man on the square.
The profound erudition and political forecast
of his Yenkee brethren obscurely discerning
some mystic relation between pouring out
whiBky and pouring out blood, joyfull> ele
vated him to the dignity of an army command
Such are the men and such is the trash with
whose wisdom rnd military genius a deluded
Abolition Government expects to subjugate
and enslave the freemen of the South.

we despised the surroundings.
