Military Era tiers of the South.—No one
can look around him upon tlie warlike and
resolute faces which are seen at every
step, without feeling that the people of the
South, if properly officered, are invincible
against a world in arms. But for tlie very
reason that hers are the most gallant and
generous people in the world, people who
covet death, and to whom a soldier’s grave
is more desirable than a life of inglorious
ease, the greatest care should be taken
that such rare and indomitable energies
should not be sacrificed by incompetent
leadership, and that the military organi
zation should be such as to develop the pe
culiar genuine and individual aptitude of
every combatant in that manner which is
likely to produce the greatest general
efficiency.
From the beginning of these troubles,
the State of South Carolina has not only
exhibited great political sagacity, but has
managed the details of ber military move
ments with consummate common sense and
practicability. Her first act was to call
the vetran soldier and noble gentleman,
Gen. Walter Gwinu, to her engineering
work, and to place United States officers
in command of her forces. The officers of
her militia, with a modesty and patriotism
that were as honorable as their valor,
Fore-ig n News,
mendabie spirit of liberality towards our citizen- j yielded gracefully to men who bad been
, . L trained in the school of war. The conse
quence is, that all the military operations
of South Carolina, including tlie bombard
ment of Sumter, have been conducted
with the greatest efficiency, and, so far,
without the loss of a single life. And,
soidiery who have severed the ties that bind them
to family and friend#, and left the comforts of
home, and 11)0 profits of business, for the hard
ships and uncertain fortunes of a soldier's life.
This is as it should he. Those who remain be
hind should contribute, willingly, to make those
who go as comfortable as possible, and, also, to
the support of their families while they are absent.

TKE SITUATION.
Tnere ran be no question that the present situa
tion of Maryland is one that calls for the exercise
of tho greatest amount of patience, forbearance
and loyality on the part of the People, and the
largest measure ot wisdom and courage on the
part ot their Representatives The length,
bread, h, and depth of the treason of Governor
Hicks can now be measured by its consequences.
These art.', briefly:
I. The occupation of the ancient capital of onr
State hy a hostile force, compelling tlie Legisla
ture to abandon a city which in the days of the
Revolution gave sanctuary to the Continental
Congress, and the chamber in which Washington
resigned his commission. It lias even been re
coin minded that the Representatives of the Peo
ple should be followed to Frederick, and there
dispersed or arrested by Pennsylvania soldiers. It
is true that those members of the Legislature
who, availing themselves of the adjournment over
Sunday, caine to this city on Saturday night, re
turn to their duties to-day between files of hostile
bayonets—the bayonets of New York and Massa
chusetts troops.
•J. The occupation for military purposes of the
Annapolis and Elkridge Railroad, and of the
Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Independently of the unauthorized in
vasion of tlie soil of tlie State, aud the outrage
inflicted upon .State sovereignty by this act, the
seizure and use of these roads, their cars and en
gines, for the transportation of troops aud military
stores, without pay, and to the interruption of the
regular business of the roads, are in violation ot
private rights, and an act of tlie most flagrant op
pression and robbery.

no income but a soldier's pay. It is true, as sta
ted above, that our people have shown a commen
dable liberality towards our volunteer companies,
and I believe that the families of those who have
gone, or may go, to war, will be well provided for:

The financial condition of N Y" , says the Day
Hook, of Wednesday evening, is getting to be full
of serious apprehensions. Tiie effort of the
banks to save the credit of tlie Government has
crippled their resources to such a degree that, they
cannot assist business men, aud the consequence
is, they are all going by the board. The Evening
Fust, a Republican organ, thus unburdens its com
plaints :
Our dry goods auctioneers are reduced to the
necessity of refusing to make sales. The banks
will not take their paper, and the owners of goods
could not staud the excessive street rates. In
fact, we have reached an extremity bordering on
general commercial suspension of payment in
staple branches of trade
Tlie bank loans are pretty well maintained, but
these consist largely of public securities. * *
Federal stocks and Treasury notes taking the
place of business paper.
It seems to us that there is no need to submit
to discredit and insolvency as a fatality. This
is the very emergency when our banks may do
the country a great service. They are supposed
to be commercial institutions, 1 and their standard
relations aro directly with commerce—not with
the government We have no quarrel with their
investment of surplus funds in the Federal debts,
but we apprehend that their legitimate service to
commerce, which includes all kinds of labor
and industry, would be far better for tho common
good
The Journal of Cootmrrre, in commenting on
the above; says:
As the above appears in a leading Republican
paper, it is very suggestive. Is it true that the
Banks are so full of public securities that they
cannot take care of “their standard relations?”
The Post must know that the Government is now
asking to borrow upwards of thirty millions more,
and the Banks are making arrangements to take
liberally of these “Federal debts;” does the editor
wish to discourage this, and to insist that these in
stitutions would do better to look after the in
terests of commerce and to refuse their aid to the
Government? What does the Post mean hy its
cohcluding tiireat that, if “the arm of finance now
wielding bv onr banks” is “withdrawn from that
direct and just service, it will lose tlie sympathy of
the masses who must stiii live by labor aud trade?”
It all this means that the Banks had better not
loan the money to the Government, under pain of
popular displeasure, why not say so in plain, un
varnished phrase?
The New Y’ork papers of Wednesday and
Thursday report more failures, and a “disturbed,
restless feeling” in the monev market generally.

There is a sudden stir in the movement

were received here yesterday to send on
all the regiments which aie ready, and as
there are probably nearly ten thousand
men in readiness, or nearly so, wo may ex
pect to see busy times with the military

hundred men from Philadelphia arrived at
Perrvville yesterday, and five hundred
were despatched from that place along
the road between Havre de Grace and

with troops from Ohio, was passed last
night near Perry ville. Wc learn from a

There were five thousand men at Harper’s

Privateering.
Tlie preparations for war on both sides
of Mason & Dixion’s line are assuming
most formidable proportions, and tlie bat
tles that are soon to take place, will vie in
sublimity and terrible destructiveness with
those of Magenta and Solferino, on Italian
soil, two years ago. In this destructive
fratricidal conflict, the accumulated wealth
of years of peace and prosperity will melt
and vanish away like the snows of winter
in an April sun.
As war has been determined upon by
President Lincoln and his Cabinet to sub-
dim the South, those States will ward off
the blow as best they can. More; they
will call into requisition every means per
mitted by the rules of civilized warfare, to
make the North feel the power of their
blows. Hence the proclamation of Presi
dent Davis has fallen like a thunderbolt on
New England. Whatever estimate Re
publicans may place upon the character
of Jefferson Davis, all parties know and
agree that he is not a man of bluster and
bluff, but a man of terrible determination
who means what he says, and whose re
sources of mind rise in grandeur in propor
tion as the difficulties by which he is sur
rounded, increase, lie is one of those
very, very few gigantic minds which adorn
the pages of history, of whom it may he
said: “Desperate courage makes one a
majority.” The latent powers of his soul
and intellect have been fully called forth
on but one occasion. When the flower of
the Mexican cavalry, numbering 8,000
strong, came down on his band of 400 Mis-
sissippiaiis at Buena Vista, whilst the
whole army of Americans tremblingly
looked for nought bnt to see his little band
go down before that terrible charge, h■■
alone felt no migivings, and ltnnr that he
should triumph. The world knows the
result. The iron man of 'war stood firm;
they received the shock of the charge, and
delivered their deadly fire. I he cavalry
reeled aud fled, and the field of Buena
Vista was won.
Well, President Davis has proclaimed
eis purpose to grant Letters of Marque and
Reprisal, and to cover the ocean with
privateers. What that means, every
Northern man who has a vessel or cargo
| as possible hand to hand conflicts with
John Bull, aud to pound him to pieces at

within the reach of his powerful and vi

4. The interruption—by a cordon of troops ex
tending from the Relay House on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad to the city of Washington, of
all communication for any effective purpose of
mutual conference and assistance between the
counties of Annie Artiudal, Prince George’s,
Charles, Calvert, St. Mary's, and the rest of the
State—and by the presence of armed cruisers in
the bay, of like communication between the
Eastern and Western shores.
;>. The interruption of all communication for
the purpose of organizing concert of action and
resistance to joint oppression—with Virginia and
the Southern States—by armed vessels in tho bay
—by tlie occupation of the Relay House with an
armed force—and by the concentration of large
bodies of troops iu the city of Washington.
ti. The completion of the necessary arrange
ments—by the reinforcement of Fort McHeury—
by the occupation of every avenue by which sup
plies can be introduced into the city, and by the
concentration ot forces on every side of us—for
the speedy reduction of the city at any moment,
w henever the pressure of the Northern mob, or
the exigencies of a “military policy" shall require
it—either by blockade or assault, as may be
deemed most advisable.
Such, in brief, is onr situation. We do not
deny it:—wc feel that we are addressing a brave
community, and there is no occasion to conceal
or disguise it. It is a situation full of perils and
full of difficulties ; it is one which has its duties
ana resp .nsioiliiies as well. Temporarily, we
are in the position of a subj»-„*~i lammed
in hy enemies on every side, and deprived by
natural weakness and the treason of those who
should have protected us, of the present means of
effecting our own deliverance. Still, the truly
brave and honest among ns will not despair;—
they will continue to hold fast to the cause and
to the principles which they have professed, and
to nurse in true aud loyal breasts, the Lope that
we may ye’ be free;—and fruition shall one day
crown their hopes. We SHALL RE FREE God

In Convention, May 12th, 1861, Dr. Richard
Fuller, of Maryland, trom the Committee ou the
state of the Country, made the following
REPORT:
We hold this truth to be self evident, that gov
ernments are established for the security, projpw-
ity, and happiness of the people. When, sirre-
tore, any government is perverted from itsjrsper
design, becomes oppressive, and abuses 4s pow
er, the people have a right to change it.
As to tho states once combined upon this con
tinent, it is now manifest tliat they ca< nJ longer
live together as one confederacy.
The Union constituted by our forefdhers was
one of co-equal sovereign States. 7he fanatical
spirit of the North has long been seeking to de
prive us ot rights aud franchises gu rantied by the
Constitution; and, after years o''persistent ag-
gresson, they have at last accomp^hed their pur
pose.
In vindication of their sacred rights and honor,
in self defence, and for the protection ot all which
is dear to man. the Southrru itates have practical
ly asserted the right of seeding from a Union
so degenerated from tl>at established by the Con
stitution, and they hevu tinned for themselves a
government based upon the principles of the
original compact—adopting a charter which se
cures to each State its sovereign rights and priv-
new government, in tnus dissolving former
political connections, seks to cultivate relations
of amity and good will with its late confederates,
aud with all the world; and they have thrice sent
special commissionew to Washington with over
tures for peace, aud tor a fair, amicable adjust
ment ofal! difficuUier. Tlie government at Wash
ington has insultingly repelled these reasonable
proposals, and now insists upon devastating our
Imd with fire and sword, upon letting loose hordes

body—(a constituency of six or seven hundred
tnousaml Christians.)—that they be fervent and im
portunate in prayer, not only tor the country, but
the enterprises of the gospel which have been
committed to our care. In the war of the Revo
lution, and iu the war of Iel2, the Baptist bated
iio jot of heart i.r hope for the Redeemer's cause.
Their zeal and liberality abounded in their deepest
afflictions. We beseech tiie Churches to cherish

This is a lesson which our friends of the mili
tary should learn. Inactivity, we know, is har-
rassing. and we honor the sentiment that pants
for a part in the din and strife of actual hostilities
Yet every soldier cannot go to the battle field.—
Nor is he less serving his couutry hy staying
away. It is quite as important to guard accessi
ble points, ami prevent an attack, as it is to go into
battle and win tiie fight. If every Company in a
large country like ours should be sent to those
points where there is a prospect of an early attack,
there would be no battle at all in such quarters :
the theatre of war would soon be shitted by the
enemy to the points thus left exposed, aud
nine-tenths of our territory be left entirely to
their mercy.
This reasoning we think sound, and if so, it
should show to onr troops the necessity of being
patient under the tedium of camp life and Com
pany drills. They may not he winning glory for
themselves—and we apprehend it is not from
selfish motives that they have responded so
promptly to the call of their Government—but
they are not the less rendering a valuable service
to their country by guarding it from harm and
deterring the enemy from an attack. Above ail,
they should leave the disposition of the forces to
the commanding Generals, to whom it has been
confided by their Government, and who have far
better opportunities than they possibly can have
for determing what is safest aud best for the ser
vice and the country.
These remarks are applicable in every time of
war, hot they have been called forth at the pres*
ent time more particularly by the general dissatis
faction of that portion of our troops who have
been kept within the State, where all is now ap
parently peaceful, whilst others have been sent to
more promising fields. The following letter,
he is, in a measure, porsonally responsible for the
safety of the city, and that the rash act of a single
individual miy involve cobsequences which may
affect the whole community, and cost thousands of
precious lives. Let discretion and circumspec
tion mark the conduct of all, and lighten the
labors of the authorities, which will be directed
with fidelity and zeal to tlie preservation of the
public pence. Even should the last drop in the
cup he commended to our lips, and this, hitherto
free city, be doomed to tlie degradation of suffer
ing the unmolested march of Lincoln’s legions
through its midst—let deserted streets, and an ex
pressive silence, like that of the grave, with
closed shutters and funeral aspect, alone attest tlie
depth and intensity of the popular feeling. We
mast be patient : bnt we must be loyal as well—
loyal to our principles and our hopes—loyal to
each other and to ourselves. We doubt not there
are many who will prove recreant and faint
hearted, and who to escape apprehended danger
or to purchase present security, will forsake the
cause ; and counsel unconditional submission, and .
the abandonment of every hope of rescue. These j convened at Montgomery, ti# assurances of our

This—tiie North is beginning to find out, with the :
additional discovery, that to piocure ail these sup ;
plies and provisions, together with the necessary 1
means for their trai sportatiori, requires a great
deal of time, and a great deal ot m ney. Evident- j
ly—the war is a more serious business than the J SOUTHERN FIELD
North at first imagined. tsjuu
Meanwhile—the soldiers who have already beeu
mustered into service, and collected at Washing
tou, have had their experience as well, and of
rather the roughest kind—and are recording it,
too, for the benefit of their friend and neighbors
at home. Every New York paper contains one or
more columns of letters received from members of
the different regiments, and written for publica
tion—besides tlie tivclre hundred a day, addressed
to fathers, mothers, sweethearts and wives, which
Mr. Van VVyck is engaged in Washington in
franking. From these letters we learn that the
military shopmen and merchants' clerks of the
‘ gallant Seventh,” found inarching to Washing
ton on foot, with nothing to eat but a slice of raw
pork and a couple of crackers, not quite so plea
sant as going there in the cars, to witness the in
auguration of a Statue, or a President, with the
prospect of a good lunch io Baltimore, at the ar
mory of their friends of the City Guard. It bus

for whose entrance into our city they are laboring
to pave the way. Tims the very completeness of
subjugation will divide ns with a wall, which
shall extend through the whole community, in
high places and in low, in social circles and in all
tiie relation of business—the good and true from
the base aud false. Think you that our patriot
fathers, iu the days of the Revolution, held other
terms than these with the Tories who upheld the
cause of the tyrant; or that the Hungarians, the
Poles, and the Italians, of our own time, mingle
upon other footing, with their countrymen who
betray their country, and eat the bread aud wear
the livery of the oppressor?
But while the People have their dnty to perform,

provoke a collision with the Federal forces, nn^

unarmed and defenceless state,—and in cultiva

as well as a buckler, until time and circumstance

needs. While the precise detail of the measures
adapted to meet present and fntnre exigencies
must necessarily be left to the Legislature to ar
range—the general character of those measures
cidal strife which they have de?ide<f pon, not
withstanding all onr commimons at pleas for

The "gallant, “firemen” of Col. Ellsworth's brig
ade, who enlisted in the expectation of free quar
ters, free lunch, free drinks, and a free fight,
wherever they went, have had their experience
also—an experience of military discipline, as un
derstood and enforced by the mar;ine*s of the war
department—not altogether to their taste. Oue
hundred and fifty of these blackguards, according
to the New York papers, have already been sent
home—and New York detectives are now engaged
in still further reducing the ranks of the regiment
upon which Mm. John Jacob Astor bestowed a
Hag and her smiles.' Verily—the Norib is begin
ning to find some things out:—it will be very well
if it escapes the further revelation which awaits it,
upon Virginia battle-fields, and at the point of
Southern bayonets.— The Snuih.
What Is In Store for ml
The National Republican issued in Washington and
regai ded as tlie representative of the Lincoln govern
ment, thns announces the policy and the purposes of
that government:
“There is to be no pence, except upon the basis of
THE UNQUALIFIED SUBMISSION OF THOSE
IN REVOLT. There is to be no recognition of any
pretended Southern Confederacy. There is to be no
pcncrohte as.,ent to a separation of these. Stater.
I’he Government is to he maintained in that plain,
straightforward wsy in which all governments are
maintained—BY COERCION. The lenders of this
roiisperaey are to he DRIVEN OUT OF THE COUN
TRY, OK TO BE HANGED- and never did conspira
tors anywhere, and at any time, more richly deserve
the fate which awaits them. They have attempted tlie
overthrow of the freest aud best government on earth
ky the most fingitions means, and with a view to the
establishment of a grinding military despotism. Their
crime has been gigantic, and them wmshnest js to
BE SIGNAL."
We shail keep this standing for southern men to
gaze at nnti! their work is done and their indepen
dence of a foul dominion complete.—Savannah Re
