e Confederate ranks—the true descendant of the Maryland cavalier. This shows what he was, and this, because the Maryland Daughters of the Confederacy have made manifest the truth in imperishable bronze, this is what will be seen and known of him in the ages to come; and as we gaze with tear dimmed eyes on that beautiful, heroic form and watch the death agony stealing over that perfect face, can you not see Murray and Blackstone and Hoffman and Williamson, and Gill and Bowly, and Grogan and Snowden and the two McKims, and a host of other stainless heroes who laid down their precious lives as a free gift to justice and the right! The Maryland soldier in life and in death clung with unconquerable tenacity to principle; and, dying, bequeathed to his people and his State the glorious fact of his service to the Confederate States. And shall we not thank God that we were given the strength and means to make this memorial to him, and to know that as long as time shall last the grief of the

Earth's drooping poor, To break the chain from every limb, The bolt from every prison door! For these, o'er all the earth hath passed An ever-deepening trumpet blast, As if an angel's breath had lent Its vigor to the instrument. And Wales, from Snowden's mountain wall, Shall startle at that thrilling call, As if she heard her bards again; And Erin's ‘harp on Tara's wall’ Give out its ancient strain, Mirthful and sweet, yet sad withal,— The melody which Erin loves, When o'er that harp, 'mid bugift of blood, a rain of fire! Oh, not for us the graceful lay To whose soft measures lightly move The footsteps of the faun and fay, O'er-locked by mirth and love! But such a stern and startling strain As Britain's hunted bards flung down From Snowden to the conquered plain, Where harshly clanked the Saxon chain, On trampled field and smoking town. By Liberty's dishonored name, By man's lost hope and failing trust, By words and deeds which bow with shame Our foreheads to the dust, By the exu<

arm in the camp. A wagon came driven rapidly down the road, and rattling over the stones, was mistaken for artillery. Instantly there was a call to arms, and formed in line. In the midst of the excitement one of the soldiers dropped dead from the ranks. From Annapolis. We learn from a gentleman who left Annapolis about 7 o'clock last evening by land, that when three miles from that city he met two U. S. Army officers, escorted by a detachment of the Vansville (Md.) Rangers, Cap. Snowden, and that he was informed by the latter that the two army officers alluded to were sent from Washington by the Government, with directions to order the Northern troops, now at Annapolis, to return home. Annapolis,April 23. --The Seventh New York Regiment (numbering 991 men) and the Massachusetts Regiment landed last night at the Naval Academy. Last evening, the Vansville Rangers, of Prince George county, intercepted a messenger from Washington, with sealed orders for Captain Blake

d unfortunate accident happened just now, which has cast a depressing gloom over the whole army at this point. The 128-pounder rifle gun, mounted on a pivot inside of a circle elevation, exploded with a terrible crash, which could be heard for many miles. A great loss of life was sustained, and many persons mangled and wounded in the most tragic manner. Among the killed is Capt. Keiter, one of the best artillerists in the army, and whose death is a misfortune at this trying juncture. Lieut. Snowden is also among the killed. I counted five dead bodies on the spot, horribly man glad, while several were badly, and others but slightly, wounded. Limbs, pieces of skull, oozing brains, were scattered all about, and presented a never-to-be-forgotten sight. Gen. Polk was close by the gun, but was not hurt, which is certainly providential. The General was terribly shocked, and had his clothes torn in shreds, and his face burned somewhat, but without injuring him externally or internally.

he Surgeon of the post is Dr. A. S Garnett, of the Confederate Navy, formerly in the United States service as a medical officer. He has all the hospitals under his charge, and now has them organized and in very good condition. Half a mile beyond the town is a mill which was begun a few years since and never completed. This has been fitted up, and is now known as the "Mill Hospital." It is under the immediate charge of Dr. Wm. Geddings, of Charleston, S. C., assisted by Drs. De Wilton and Snowden.--Two floors of the building are now in use, and the third is being prepared, and will soon be ready for the reception of the sick. The beds are arranged very conveniently, with one row around the outside and two down the middle leaving space enough for aisles. In both rooms there are about sixty beds, all of which are constantly filled. The basement is used as a kitchen, but a small house is being built, detached from the mill, and near by another, to be used as a dead-house. The water
