A Maryland traitor.--Shortly after the battle at Front Royal, Va., during the excitement consequent upon the exultation of the rebels, the office of the Hagerstown (Md.) Mail was destroyed by the mob. The following letter was found at the residence of a Dr. Funston, some five miles beyond Winchester, who was an aid to Gen.

your State, commanded the regiment, and won for himself the high honor of receiving the personal thanks of his General. The first shots fired grazed Major Barrett's coat, and carried some of the cloth away. The balance of his coat is full of holes, as is also the pummel of his saddle. The Eighty-fourth is at present without any field-officers with the exception of the Major. Col. Murray was killed at the first battle of Winchester, and Lieut.-Col. McDowell resigned before the fight at Front Royal. Major Barrett has gone to Harrisburgh, to see Gov. Curtin, and have him appoint a man to the colonelcy. Major Barrett should be promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy, for he has now been in three fights, in two of which he commanded the regiment, and has always been highly complimented by his superior officers for his bravery and soldierly qualities. There were several little incidents connected with the battle, which are well worthy of note here. While Lieut. Robinson was directin
