Old Maryland.

We observe that one of the Northern journals refers with apparent surprise to the fact of Marylanders volunteering in the service of Virginia, and declares that ‘"the disaffection is not yet crushed out."’

What a simpleton the man must be, to suppose that thirty days, or thirty years, will teach Maryland to love and be loyal to her Yankee tyrants! As well attempt to ‘"crush out"’ a volcano as any State of the South which has once been free and independent. --The fires may appear to be extinct, and upon their sides may grow for a time the olive and the vine, but one day the crater will open its jaws, and then look out for Pompeii and Herculanæum.
