here is not a single act of the Confederate States that could be so construed as to justify any reasonable man in coming to the conclusion that the South intended to take Washington. We have never claimed more than is embraced in the boundaries of the seceded States. That is the whole extent of our claim. Washington is situated in that part of the District of Columbia transferred by Maryland, and just as long as Maryland remains with the North, just so long we will refrain from any attack. here is not a single act of the Confederate States that could be so construed as to justify any reasonable man in coming to the conclusion that the South intended to take Washington.

s not taken. It is strongly intrenched, and Scott has available many more troops than ourselves. The forces that have just been routed will be rallied, reinforced, and brought back into the field with every precaution and advantage that generalship and military resources can furnish. The prestige and position of the Abolition Government, no less than Scott's reputation, urge them to prompt and peculiar efforts to retrieve the late severe check they have met with. McClellan has already been sent for. Circumstances all point to a speedy renewal of battle on the Potomac. The next struggle will be one of life or death to the invaders — of great importance to us in regard to the time of the war. It is to be hoped that our own brave forces will be properly stengthened, and our able and indefatigable generals put in condition not only to defeat and discomfit, but to annihilate the enemy, and drive his remnant from the polluted soil of Maryland, and soon end the war.--Charleston Mercury.

from Kentucky, who had demanded the yeas and nays, and a small shot was fired toward him. Mr. President, said the ex-leader and candidate, rising with great assumption of calm dignity, the Senator from Massachusetts will of course do his duty as he understands it. I, sir, as a Senator from Kentucky, shall endeavor to do mine.

upon the whole world — and that is momentous — our immortal victory has availed us but little. We barely hold our own ; but then the month of apparent inaction has been wisely employed by our generals in preparing for the decisive blow of the contest. When we shall strike, quien sabe. No one, save General Johnston, who closets himself in his little yellow brick Headquarters, a mile west of our camp, and diligently engages himself in reorganizing the army, and making ready for the conflict which shall result in freeing nine millions of people, and reestablishing the ark of liberty, so long desecrated by the impious Northmen. That there will be a forward movement soon, we have every reason to believe, and no reader of the Courier need be astonished while sipping his morning coffee, if he sees the announcement of our occupation of Maryland, and the hemming in of the Federal Capital. We must have winter quarters, and Baltimore would furnish splendid accommodations for our forces

Runaway slaves arrested by Northern soldiers.--Seventy-one runaway slaves from Maryland and Virginia have been confined in the public jail during the month of May. Sixty-four of that number have been returned to their masters, and the others are held to be returned as soon as called for. The largest portion of these slaves have been arrested by Northern soldiers stationed in Washington, and most of the slaves have expressed themselves to the effect that they thought they would be free if they could get into Washington.--Washington Star, June 3.

Search for contraband.--The correspondent of the Boston Journal relates the following incidents attending the search for contraband at the Relay House, Maryland. We quote :-- You hear the whistle of the train bound for Harper's Ferry. As it comes rounding the curve, the guard is drawn up on each side of the track. Soon as the train stops, a soldier steps on each platform of every car, and sees that no one gets off or on. The one whose business it is to develop any contraband articles or persons, enters the forward passenger car. He looks under the first seat, and finds nothing but a very suspicious female. Her hoops are very large, and she looks about the waist as though she indulged in a free use of cotton, or else is a walking train in the use of the rebels. The searcher looks, but doesn't know what to do. He cannot, of course, treat her as he would a man, for everybody would call him a brute, and besides, he has no taste for such things. At last lie timidly requests tha

True spirit in Maryland.--A handbill has reached us, bearing resolutions adopted by the Home Guards of Middletown and Frederick, Md., in view of the action recently taken by the Legislature. The Middletown resolutions read thus:-- Whereas, The secession majority of the Maryland Legislature, in their attempts to usurp the military power of the State, and divest the Governor of his constitutional authority, have passed an act to disarm the Home Guards, organized and enrolled under the militia laws of the State; Therefore, the undersigned, captains of the Middletown Home Guards, in the name and on behalf of the companies under their respective commands, solemnly protest against this legislative usurpation and invasion of their rights as citizens, and pledge themselves, by all that freemen hold dear, to oppose to the death any and every attempt to take away their arms, under the pretended authority of the act referred to. And if any person or persons, under the pretended a
