Doc. 249 1/2.-an appeal to Maryland. By John P. Kennedy. It is the most deplorable misfortune of our unhappy country, at this moment, that it has no authentic voice to speak its honest, sober judgment on the public affairs. Here we are in Maryland, involved in a dreadful revolution which has already convulsed society to the centre, torn up its prosperity by the roots, sown discord in families, alienated old and familiar friends, and spread consternation through the whole community. It has visited peaceful and thriving households with want, stricken down fortunes acquired by long and patient industry, scattered the small accumulations of humble thrift, and reduced to absolute beggary thousands and thousands of the best and most useful of our working population. These are the ravages of the first act in the Great Drama. The second act is about to open upon us. The pride and flower of our youth are in arms. Hostile camps are gathering their forces. Wild, ungovernable, and

jarnette and Edmondson, of Virginia, hearing that incendiary documents were being circulated through Virginia, by the Clerks of the Census Bureau, by order of John P.

Black Republican Espionage in Virginia. The telegraph announced yesterday morning that Mr. John P. Kennedy, of the Census Department, was engaged in distributing the speeches of Messrs. Clemens and Etheridge in Virginia, evidently to bear upon the elections about to take place. There was a mistake in the name of the gentleman. It was Mr. Jos. C. G. Kennedy who was engaged in this work — he and his clerks, in the hours of business of the Department. We now have a more remarkable specimen of the interest Mr. Kennedy takes in our affairs here in Virginia. The following note was addressed by him to one of the Assistant Marshals of this State, and we suppose has been addressed to others: Census Bureau, Washington City, Jan. 29th. Dear Sir: Will you have the kindness to inform me, without any delay, regarding the opinion of the people in your sub-division respecting secession, and what character of delegates you will send to the State Convention? Yours, &c., Jos

Howell Cobb, in a letter to the Athens Banner, announces his unalterable determination to retire to private life on the expiration of his present term of office. John P. Kennedy, U. S. Senator from Maryland, has issued a long appeal against secession. Harriet Beecher Stowe terms the present invasion of the South by Lincoln, the "Holy War."

It is stated that it was $100, instead of $5,000, which ex-President Buchanan gave to the Pennsylvania volunteers. Captain Franklin Gardner, of the 10th regiment U. S. Infantry, resigned on the 6th of April last
