e will hang them on their return home. The news of the unanimous sentiment of the North, the prompt and decisive action on the part of the State Governments in enlisting men, has strengthened the Union men of Western Maryland and the border counties of Virginia.---N. Y. Tribune, April 28. A sudden and wonderful change takes place in the sentiment of Maryland. The American flag was raised at Hagerstown, and extensive preparations are being made for further Union demonstrations. Alleghany county has instructed its representatives that if they vote for secession, they will be hung on their return home. The Stars and Stripes are waving over Frederick City. The Home Guard refuse to parade unless its folds are displayed, and the tune of Yankee Doodle played. At the Clear Spring House the Stars and Stripes are waving, and the miners have sworn to resist secession to the death.--N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, April 28. The steamer C. E. Hillman, from St. Louis, bound for Nashvil

her soil; and not only forbid, but resist it. Baltimore was a Secession volcano in full eruption; while the counties south of that city were overwhelmingly in sympathy with the Slaveholders' Rebellion, and their few determined Unionists completely overawed and silenced. The counties near Baltimore, between that city and the Susquehanna, were actively cooperating with the Rebellion, or terrified into dumb submission to its behests. The great populous counties of Frederick, Washington, and Alleghany, composing Western Maryland--having few slaves — were preponderantly loyal; but they were overawed and paralyzed by the attitude of the rest of the State, and still more by the large force of rebel Virginians — said to be 5,000 strong — who had been suddenly pushed forward to Harper's Ferry, and who, though not in season to secure the arms and munitions there deposited, threatened Western Maryland from that commanding position. Thus, only the county of Cecil, in the extreme north-east, re<

p above his dust. John Reuben Thompson. Stonewall Jackson's way For more than a quarter of a century the subject of debate, the authorship of this ballad was settled in 1891 by the poet himself, Dr. John Williamson Palmer. Through the kindness of his nieces and of Mrs. William C. Palmer of Baltimore, his own words are given here: in September, 1862, I found myself at the Glades Hotel, at Oakland, on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and in that part of Allegany County, Maryland, which is now known as Garrett County. Early on the 16th there was a roar of guns in the air, and we knew that a great battle was toward. . . . I knew that Stonewall was in it, whatever it might be; it was his way— Stonewall Jackson's way. I had twice put that phrase into my war letters, and other correspondents, finding it handy, had quoted it in theirs. I paced the piazza and whistled a song of Oregon lumbermen and loggers that I had learned from a California adventurer in Ho

Cresap, Michael 1742-1775 Trader; born in Alleghany county, Md., June 29, 1742; removed to Ohio in 1774, and after establishing a settlement below the present city of Wheeling, organized a company of pioneers for protection against the Indians; and, on April 26, declared war and defeated a band of Indians on the river. About the same time another party of whites massacred the family of the famous chief Logan, who hitherto had been friendly to the whites. Cresap was accused by Logan with having led the party which killed his family, but it was subsequently proved that Cresap was in Maryland at the time of the occurrence. Cresap received the commission of a captain in the Hampshire county militia in Virginia from Governor Dunmore. He joined the army under Washington, but ill-health forced him soon afterwards to retire from active service. He died in New York City, Oct. 18, 1775. Several publications have been issued since his death with the intention of relieving his memory f

Nomination. --Ex-Gov. Francis Thomas, of Allegany county, Md., was nominated by a convention in Frederick city, on Saturday last, as a Union candidate for Congress, on the fifteenth ballot, by a majority of one. The Frederick Herald, in speaking of Mr. Thomas, observes: "He has been a Black Republican for fifteen years, and he is now a coercionist of the most bloody and relentless character — aye, as uncompromising and narrow-hearted in his hostility to the South as Wendell Phillips or Lloyd Garrison."

s between Caper and Cumberland, captured thirty or forty prisoners, sixty or seventy horses, and sent out over five hundred fat cattle. On the 17th, Col. George, of Imboden command, drove a Yankee battalion out of Cumberland by shelling them in the streets, and the Mayor surrendered the city to "our boys." Kelly, commander of the Yankee cavalry, was there, but made his escape on an engine which was stopped about eight miles from town by a break in the road made by our men. Citizens state that here he jumped off and took to the bushes on foot. On the night of the 17th General Imboden camped in Alleghany co., Md., twelve miles from Cumberland, but recrossed into Virginia the next morning. This movement was prompted by a rumor that Kelly was moving to attack. Imboden at daybreak on the 19th. As there were no railroads, mails, or telegraphs, in those parts of the General's visit, it is inferred that his command, were ignorant of what was progressing in the name of the world.

These were arrested, with the Clerk of the Senate, and sent to Annapolis, according to my orders, on the 18th inst., under guard, and safely lodged on board a Government steamer in waiting for them. Of their destination thence I had no direction. The names of the parties thus arrested and disposed of were as follows, viz: B. F. Salmon, Frederick; Wm. R. Miller, Cecil county; I. H.

Anderson, late of Alleghany county, Md., now an officer in the rebel army, in the sundry lands and tenements in Alleghany county, Md., during the life of said Anderson. On the trial of the case it was shown that said Anderson, since the breaking out of the rebellion, had becomAlleghany county, Md., during the life of said Anderson. On the trial of the case it was shown that said Anderson, since the breaking out of the rebellion, had become interested in and conducted the Tredegar Iron Works, at Richmond, from which there had been supplied to the rebel army cannon, shell, and other munitions of war in great quantities. The lands condemned contain 49,146 acres. The Baltimore American says: There seems to be no end to the effects of the disaster to the Red River expedition. The rebels are using the cannon they captured on the river below Alexandria, and have succeeded in destroying two transports and two of our small
