lliance. They love their brethren of the Confederate States; they admire the bravery and gallantry that have characterized their whole conduct; they are eager to embrace them as brethren of one flesh and blood, as patriots of a common country, as soldiers of a common cause and a common flag. Why does President Davis tarry at Montgomery? Why has he delayed to make the movement for which his heart pants? Why are his soldiers lingering in the South, and are they not this day threatening Scott and Lincoln at Washington? It is because he knows not the position Virginia wishes to occupy towards the Confederate States. It is because Virginia, so far, denies that she is a Southern State, and lingers on the border. His presence would bring military organization complete, generalship consummate, and arms in vincible to the aid of Virginia. It would remove the seat of war to the Pennsylvania border, and Richmond would not again be threatened with destruction by a contemptible steamer

himself at the disposal of his own State, Major Selden is a native of this city, and is as well known to our citizens generally as any person who ever resided in it. He was not only one of the most gallant officers in the whole Army that fought in Mexico, but he is personally one of the most popular men we ever know. He was with General Taylor, at the battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey, and was wounded in the first of these engagements. Transferred to the Army under General Scott, he was at the siege of Vera Cruz, at the battle of Cerro Gordo, at Jalapa, and at all the fights until Chepultepec. At the last named he was desperately wounded in a daring attempt to scale the walls, and thus became disqualified for active service for several weeks. Before he was able to take the field again, the war was over. Virginia never produced a braver or a truer man than Major Joseph Selden. Another. Col. John B. Magruder has resigned his commission in the U. S. Army

of the world, have associated his name in the minds of mankind with all that is truly great and good. The adhesion of such a man to the Southern cause will cause men abroad to reflect, and will exert infinitely more influence than would that of Scott. Europe is crowded with military men, far more eminent than Scott, who is scarcely known outside the limits of our own country, and even then only as a soldier; but wherever the sea rolls a wave, Maury is known and reverenced as a great light, and his name in the minds of mankind with all that is truly great and good.

n there had been organized and armed, Lincoln would have been a prisoner to-day. Our friends are not armed as they should be. There are, perhaps, seven or eight thousand men in Maryland armed more or less effectively. But the hope in Baltimore is, that the line of communication will be opened between Virginia and Baltimore, by the capture, at once, of Washington. This is the hope, and this is the expectation. It can be done. But now is the time to do it, before Hicks, Winter Davis and Gen. Scott can divert the Baltimore movement into an anti-Southern channel. By taking Washington, we are complete masters of the position. It secures Maryland and Baltimore, and thus secures Western Virginia, because Western Virginia is more influenced by Baltimore than by Richmond. It secures Delaware, because Delaware is influenced by Maryland in the same manner that Maryland is influenced by Virginia. It advances our base of operations beyond Baltimore on the high road to Philadelphia, whe
