We had an interview yesterday with Mr. J. Taylor Wood of Anne Arundel co., Md. who the succeeded in escaping from the persecution of the Lincolnites and in reaching a land of promise and safety. Mr. W. left the of Maryland last Saturday, with his family in an open boat. The passage of the my and dangerous, and he was the necessity of throwing a portion of the overboard to prevent the swamping of the trail vessel. After undergoing many trials and privations, the party successfully reaching Fredericksburg, and arrived in Richmond yesterday morning by railroad. The lower common of Maryland are ammunitions for secession, while the on Pennsylvania, have Lincoln affiliations. Sickle's Brigade has invaded the Southern part of the State, searching and plundering horses, harassing unoffending citizens, stealing negroes, and performing all the acts of diabolism for which the Yankees are noted. The members of the Maryland Legislature who were recently arrested by order of the Federal Government, are now confined at Fortress Monroe, together with the Hon. Henry May and other ‘"political prisoners."’ Col. Zar Thomas are so far from having escaped from Fort McHenry, has been transferred to Fort Elizabeth. Business in Baltimore is surely tial, and if the war continues for a long period, the city will pre some of commercial rule, from which it will not recover for years.
