RESOLUTION Relating to Maryland.
Whereas! The State of ftfaryhmd has suffered
the same wrhngs which impelled these Confeder
ate States to withdraw from the United States, And
is intimately associated with these States by gee
graphical situation, by mutual interest, by similar
ity of institutions and by enduring sentiments ol
reciprocal amity and esteem ; and whereas it is be
lieved that a large majority ot the good people ot
Maryland earnestly desire to unite their State with
lie Confederate States, a desire which is proved to
exist even by the violent, extraordinary and tyran*
nical measures employed hv our enemy to restrain
theexpression thereof: and whereas the Government
ol the United States, by imprisoning members ot
the Legislature of Maryland, by establishing pow
erful armies of foreign'troops within that State and
along her borders; and by supptessiog with armed
ton e the freedom of speech and of elections, has
prevented the people rfhd their representatives from
adopting the political connection which they pre
fer, and, in revenge oftheir preference has inflic
ted upon them many outrages and established over
them a foreign despotism ; and whereas the acces
sion of Maryland to this Confederation will be mu
tually beneficial. anj| is essential to the integrity
and security of the' Confederate Union. Be it
therefore
First. Resolved by the Congress of the Confed
erate States of America, That the sufferings of the
good people of Maryland, under the oppression of
onr enemy, excite our profound sympathy and en-
• itle them to speedy and efficient exertions on our
part for their relief
Second, That it is the desire of this Government
hv appropriate measures to facilitate the accession
of Maryland, with the free consent of her people, to
the Confederate States.
Third, That no peace' ought to be concluded
with the United States, which does not ensure to
Maryland the opportunity of forming a part of this
Confederacy.

Baltic of Jlnnnnsn* Plain*.
We copy the following interesting sum
ntary of tlie reports of Gen. Johnston and
Beauregard from the Macon Telegraph :
The effective lorce of the army of the
Potomac on the morning of the light was
21.S33 men and 29 guns. That of the
Shenandoah 6,000 men and 20 guns,—
making the total Confederate foice a little
short of 2S,000 and 49 guns, mostly
six pounders. Of this force Gen. John
ston says :
The admirable character of our troops
is ineontestibly proved by the result of
this battle; especially when it is remem
bered that little more than six thousand
men of the army of the bhenandoab, with
sixteen guns, and less than two thousand
of that of the Potomac, with six guns, for
full five hours successfully lesisted thirty-
five thousand United States troops, with,
a powerful artillery and a superior force of
regular cavalry.
The army of the Shenandoah, accord*
ing to Gen. Johnston, lost 270 killed, 679
wounded and 13 missing, The total loss
of the Confederates was 378 killed 1,487
wounded and thirty missing.
Of the enemy’s loss Gen. Johnston,
says : It must have been between four
and five thousand. Twenty-eight pieces
of artillery, about five thousand muskets,
and nearly five hundred thousand car
tridges, a garrison flag and ten colors were
captured on the field or in the pursuit.
Besides those, we captured sixty four ar
tillery horses, with their harness, twen
ty-six wagons and much camp equipage,
clothing, and other property abandoned
in their flight.
Gen. Beanregard treats more at leng h
upon the Yankee force and loss and we ap
pend all that he says upon the subject:
The actual loss of the enemy will nev
er be known, it may now only be conjec
tured. Their abandoned dead, as they
were buried by our people where they fell,
unfortunately, were not enumerated, bnt
many parts of the field were thick with
their corpses, as but few battle fields have
ever been. The official reports of the ene
my are. studiously silent on this point, but
still afforded us data for an approximate
estimate. Left almost in the dark in res
pect to the losses of Hunter’s and Hein-
tzeman’s divisions—first, longest and
hotly engaged-we are informed that Sher
man’s brigade—Tyler’s Division-suffered,
in killed wounded and missing. 669—that
is about IS per cent of the brigade. A
regiment of Frankliu’s brigade- -German’s
—lost 21 per cent. Grilfin’s (battery)
loss was 30 per cent, and that of Keye’s
brigade, which was so handled by its com
mander, as to be exposed to only occasion
al volleys from cur troops was at least 10
per cent. To these facts add repeated
references in the reports of the more re
ticent commanders, to the “murderous”
fire to which they were habitually exposed
—the “pistol range” volleys, and galling
musketry, of which they speak, as scour
ging their ranks, atid we are warranted in
placing the entire loss of the Federalists,
at over ’forty-five hundred in killed, and
wounded and prisoners. To this may be
legitimatley added as a casuality of the
battle, the thousands of fugitives from the
field who have never rejoined their regi
ments, and.who are as much lost to the
enemy’s service as if slain or disabled by
wounds. These may not bo included un
der the head of missing, because in every
instance of such report, we took as many
prisoners uf these brigades or regiments
as are reporte.d “missing.”
A list appended exhibits some 1,460 of
tbeir wounded and others, who fell into
our hands and were sent to Richmond;
some were sent to other points, so that the
number of prisoners including wounded
who did not die, may be set down at not
less than 1,600. Besides these, consider
able number who could not be removed
from the field, died at several farm holies
and field hospitals within ten days follow
ing the battle.
To serve the future historian of this war,
will no f e the fact, among the captured
Federalists, are officers and men of forty-
seven regiments of volunteers, besides
f rom some nine different regiments of regu
lar tioops, detachments of which were
engaged. From official reports, we
learn of a regiment of volunteers engaged,
six regiments of Miles’ division,
and the live regiments of Bnnyon’s brig
ade, from which we have neither sound or
wounded prisoners. Making all allowan
ces for mistakes we are warranted in saying
that the Federal army consisted of fifty
five regiments of volunteers, eight compa
nies of regular infantry, four of marine,
nine of regular cavalry and twelve bat
teries, and one hundred and nineteen guns.
These regiments at one time, as will ap
pear from a published list appeared maiked
“K,” numbered in the aggregate 54,160,
and average 964 each ; from an order of
the enemy’s commander, however, dated
July 13th, we learn that one hundred men
from each regiment were ordered to re
main ia charge of respective camps—some
allowances must further be made for the
sick and details, which would reduce the
average to eight hundred—adding the
regular cavalry, infantry and artillery
present, an estimate of their force may be
made.
A paper appended, marked, “L,” ex
hibits, in par.t the ordnance and supplies
captured—including some twenty-eight
field pieces of the best character ot arms,
with over one hundred rounds of ammu
nition for each gun, thirty-seven caissons,
six forges, four battery wagons^ sixty four
artillery horses, completely equipped, five
hundred thousand of small arms, ammu
nition, fonr thousand five hundred setts
rounds of accoutrements, over five hundred
muskets, some nine regimental and garri
son flags, with a large number of pistols,
knapsacks, swords, canteens, blankets a
large store of axes and entrenching tools,
wagons, ambulances, horses, camp and
garrison equipage, hospital stores and some
subsistence.
Added to these results may rightly be
noticed here that by this battle au inva
ding army superbly equipped, within
twenty miles of their base of operations,
has been converted into one virtually be-
seiged, and exclusively occupied for
months in the construction of a stupendous
series of fortifications for the protection of
its own capital.
I beg to call attention to the reports
of the several subordinate commanders for
reference to the signal parts ] layed by in
dividuals of their respe:tive commands.
Contradictory statements found in these
reports should not excite surprise, when
we remember how difficult, if not impossi
ble, it is to reconcile the most inconsider
able affair, much less the shifting thrill
ing scenes of a battle field.
The reasons why no advance upon
Washington was made after the fight are
thus stated by the two generals quoting
first from Gen. Beauregard .•
In conclusion it is proper, and doubt
less expected through this report my coun
trymen should be made acquainted with
some of the sufficient causes that preven
ted the advauce of our forces, and pro
longed vigorous pursuit of the enemy to
and beyond the Potomac. 1 he War De
partment has been fully advised long since
of all these causes, some of which only are
proper to be here communicated. An
army which had fought as ours on that
day against uncommon odds, uuder a July
sun, most of the time without water and
without food except a hastily snatched
meal at dawn, was not in condition for the
toil of an effective pursuit of an euemy
immediately after the battle.
On the following day an unusually hea
vy aurl unintermitting fall of rain inter-
vented to obstruct our advance, with reas
onable prospect of fruitful results. Added
to this the want of a cavalry force of suf
ficient numbers made an efficient pursuit
a military impossibility.
The apparent firmness of the United
States troops at Centerville who had not
been engaged, which checked our pur
suit, the strong forces occupying the works
near Georgetown, Arlington and Alexan
dria, the certainty, too, that General Pat
terson, if needed, would reach Washing
ton, with his army of 30,006 men, sooner
than we could, and the condition and inad
equate means of the army in ammunition,
provisions and transportation, prevented
any serious thoughts of advancing against
the Capital. It is certain that the fresh
troops within the works were, in number,
quite sufficient for tbeir defence; if not,
Gen. Patterson’s army would reinforce
them soon enough.
