cation, imprisonment, the continued pressure of arrogant military rule, petty official persecution, the temptations of patronage, and all other base means so familiar to tyrants, have been used with a zeal worthy of a less infamous cause, to extort from the people of Maryland an expression of "loyalty to the Union," as they still persist in characterizing the decayed remains of the old Government; and yet, their bastiles are filled to repletion with Maryland martyrs; and they dare not for one instant withdraw from her soil the armed mercenaries, who, in their imbecile terror, stand guard at the doors of rebel women and arrest rebel boys for wearing the obnoxious colors of the Southern flag, more terrible to the tyrant's minions than anything on earth except the Southern steel which glittered around that flag on an hundred fields of victory.--No! They well understand that Maryland is at heart a "rebel," as she was in 76; and they remember the history of her deeds and the fate of her t

The rebel Captain Sweeny and 63 other rebel prisoners reached here last night. The last instalment of the Camp Jackson prisoners were sent to Cairo last night, to be forwarded to Columbus. Sedalia, Mo., Dec. 14.-- Parties from the West arrived here, report that 3,000 rebel troops, under General Stein, passed a point fifteen miles from Warrensburg on the 11th, evidently for the purpose of escorting some 600 or 800 rebel recruits, with their baggage, provision, &c., from Lexington to Price's army.

following brief but interesting letter from Havana: Havana, Nov. 19, 1861. True Delta: I have only time for one item of important news. Col. Charles G. Helm, although not known here, only in his private capacity, has been offered by sundry planters of Cuba a company fully armed, equipped, and uniformed — war complement full — and to be supported for the war. While he has been compelled to decline accepting for the Confederate States of America, in order not to compromise the Spanish Government in their neutral position, some other way of an equivalent will be arranged by the individuals themselves, who are identified with the holy cause — and no stealings. The U. S. war steamer St. Iago de Cuba, Commander Ridgely, arrived here on the 17th, with sundry officers on board, who say they do not "fight against the slave institutions of the South!" They are watching two Confederate vessels, under British flags, cleared to-day. No other news of interest. Ever yours,

o witness his loyalty to the South, and prayed that his arm might rot from the socket if he ever raised it against his Southern brethren. Such a man, as we well knew, would not have dared to lift his finger against secession in the month of February last. It was, however, geographically and politically impossible for Maryland to join the cotton States whilst other great States, lying between her and the new Confederacy, remained even nominally in union with the North. The delay from Decemndered by a long standing commercial rivalry. Many loyal and gallant men refused to precipitate so unequal a contest, to be followed by such inevitable and calamitous results. They would have been willing to carry the State out of the Union in February, or even March; but in April and May they believed it to be impracticable, unless at the sacrifice of everything which constituted the material power of the State. They believed that time would afford an opportunity for the accomplishment of th

They believed that time would afford an opportunity for the accomplishment of the great purpose, without demanding such a price as the destruction of their commercial emporium. Nevertheless, these loyal and gallant men were at all times ready to bring a blackened ruin into the Southern Confederacy, rather than to purchase immunity at the cost of public

On the 19th of last April, many of these men were ready to hail the Southern banner, if convinced of its power. The events of the past six months have unmasked those servile camp fol until he was surrounded by Northern bayonets. Cowering under the storm of popular indignation, he went into Monument square on the afternoon of the memorable 19th of April last, whilst the blood of the heroic youths of Baltimore, who had scornfully driven out of their city twelve hundred armed abolitionists from Massachusetts, waeces, and not one cannon to defend the approaches to the city.

our city, fraught as it would be with such dangerous consequences. The heavy firing of yesterday was merely the practicing of heavy ordnance. When the wind is from the North the sound is very distinct, but when from the South, to us it is sometimes scarcely audible. We were recently shown a new invention in the way of a splendid rifle cannon, which far surpasses anything of the kind we have ever seen. It was made in Petersburg, and from the name of its maker, receives the name of the "July Sun." The great advantage gained, is the frequency with which it can be fired,--the breach never becoming hot from constant firing. Every difficulty in our old pieces is entirely obviated, and as a field piece it is highly useful, and we would say indispensable. we learned yesterday that about thirty ships were in the Roads, but we understand they are destined to different points along the coast. A few days ago, some splendid shooting was done at Craney Island by one of our large g

They include, unconditionally, an addition to the 39 counties included by the ordinance of the August Convention, viz: The counties of Pocahontas, Greenbrier, Monroe, Mercer, and McDowell. They also have taken in Hampshire, Morgan, Berkley, Jefferson, Pendleton, and Frederick, on the condition that a majority of the votes cast in the District, and a majority of the counties comprising it, express themselves in favor of coming in at elections to be held on a day appointed by the Legislature. This attempt to extend the boundary is regarded by some as an endeavor to embarrass the progress of
