Adventures of a refugee.
A gentleman arrived in this city on Saturday evening last, from
Baltimore, who has felt some of the effects of Lincolnism in
Maryland.
On the 19th of April, 1861, he was a prominent participant in the efforts made to prevent the passage of
Massachusetts troops through
Baltimore, for which he was subsequently arrested on the charge of treason, and held to bail in the sum of $40,000 to appear at the ensuing November term of the U. S. District Court.
From that time to within the past few weeks his case has been pending, when, on a final hearing before
Judge Taney, he was released.
Relieved of his bond by the action of the
Court, he started for Dixie, and after one or two narrow escapes, reached
Richmond in safety.
He immediately connected himself with an artillery company, in which he has a brother serving, and starts off this morning for the seat of war, with a full determination to be avenged for his persecution in his native State.
His report is that a large majority of the respectable inhabitants of
Baltimore and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland remain steadfast in their attachment to the
South, and have full confidence in the ultimate triumph of the
Confederacy.
