A New kind of Kiting.--The Washington Republican gives the following account of a plan resorted to with success by rebels in lower Maryland, in communicating with their friends across the Potomac, without being detected: A large kite is made, and, instead of paper, is covered with oiled silk, so as to render it impervious to water. The tail is formed by folding letters or newspapers together, and tying them with a loop-knot — each letter, or perhaps two letters together, forming a bob. to reach about two thirds of the way across the river is attached, and the kite raised in the air. After the kite has exhausted the string, or has reached a sufficient height, the cord is cut, and the concern, gradually descending, is borne by the breeze to the Virginia shore, where the bobs are taken off by those in waiting, and new ones for their sympathizing friends in Maryland tied on in their stead. With the first favorable wind, back comes the kite to the Maryland shore, and vice versa
dashing Johnston, noble, true, Will meet their hireling hosts again, And scatter them like morning dew.

So let the Yankees, etc. From the lofty Alleghanies, To old Worcester's sea-washed shore, Her sons will come to greet the victors, There in good old Baltimore. So let the Yankees, etc. Then with voices light and gladsome, We will swell the choral strain, Telling that our dear old mother, Glorious Maryland's free again. So let the Yankees, etc. Then we'll crown our warrior chieftains, Who have led us in the fight, And have brought the South in triumph, Through dread danger's troubled night.

The young lady who acted the rebel spy at Washington, was a daughter of Dr. King, of the Soldiers' Home. For some months past grave suspicions have been entertained in regard to certain members of the family of Dr. King. It is stated that two of his own sons by his first wife, and two of the sons by his second wife, are now serving in the confederate army, and also that some of the lady members of his family have been engaged in communicating information to the rebel army, through a secession family still living in Maryland, within an hour's ride of Washington. The arrest of some of the family of Dr. King, led to the belief in the rumor in regard to Adj.-Gen. Thomas, because he, like the Doctor, resided at the Soldiers' Home. Cincinnati Gazette, January 15.
und with cotton, and made of Southern wood, Carolina is our driver, with Georgia by her side, Virginia will hold her flag up, and we'll all take a ride. There are Tennessee and Texas also in the ring; They wouldn't have a government where cotton wasn't king. Alabama and Florida have long ago replied; Mississippi and Louisiana are anxious for the ride. Missouri, North-Carolina, and Arkansas are slow; They must hurry, or we'll leave them, and then what will they do? There's Old Kentucky and Maryland won't make up their mind; So I reckon, after all, we'll take them up behind. The Tennessee boys are in the field, eager for the fray; They can whip the Yankee boys three to one, they say; And when they get in conflict, with Davis by their side, They'll pitch into the Yankee boys, and then you'll see them slide. Our cause is just and holy, our men are brave and true; We'll whip the Lincoln cut-throats, is all we have to do. God bless our noble army; in him we all confide; So jump into the
92. the Debt. Remember, men of Maryland, You have a debt to pay-- A debt which years of patience Will never wear away; Which must be paid at last, although Our dearest blood it cost-- A debt which shall be paid unto The very uttermost. We owe for confidence betrayed By those we trusted best; The sword we gave them to refund They turned against our breast; For spies that noted down our words The while they shared our bread ; For hounds that even dared disturb The quiet of the dead. We owe for all the love they lied, The wolfish hate they showed; For all those glittering bayonets That meet us on the road; For black suspicion, deadlier far Than flash of Northern swords; For treason threatened at our hearths, And poison at our boards. For many a deed of darkness done Beneath their “Stripes and Stars;” For women outraged in their homes, And fired on in the cars; For those black tiers of cannon trained To bear on Baltimore. We owe for friends in prison kept, And Davis One of the p

The boys down South in Dixie's land, The boys down South in Dixie's land, The boys down South in Dixie's land, Will come and rescue Maryland. Chorus.--If you will join the Dixie band, Here's my heart and here's my hand, If you will join the Dixie band, Maryland. Chorus.--If you will join the Dixie band, Here's my heart and here's my hand, If you will join the Dixie band, We're fighting for a home. The Northern foes have trod us down, The Northern foes have trod us down, The Northern foes have trod us down, But we will rise with true renown. Chorus.--If you will join the Dixie band, etc. The tyrants they must leave our door, The tyrants they must leave our door, The tyrants they must leave our doneral Bragg, And give three cheers for the Southern flag. Chorus.--If you will join the Dixie band, etc. We'll drink this toast to one and all, Keep cocked and primed for the Southern call; The day will come, we'll make the stand, Then we'll be free in Maryland. Chorus.--If you will join the Dixie band, etc January 30, 1862.
A Maryland traitor.--The Mobile Register says: Ex-Governor Pratt, of Maryland, sends a letter by underground railroad to Mr. Benjamin, in which he says that if we of the South hold on a month longer — until the middle of April or the last of May--the Lincoln dynasty will crumble under its own corruption and indebtedness. What the Rebel Women are Doing. Tupelo, Miss., March 29, 1862. Mr. Editor: A number of ladies in the eastern part of Pontotoc, Mississippi, have recently united and formed what is called the Coonewah Soldiers' Aid Society. At their last meeting they resolved to give their jewelry, their gold and silver plate to the Confederacy, and to make an earnest appeal to all the ladies in our country to do the same, for the purpose of purchasing or assisting to purchase a navy for the Confederacy. An old gentleman present said he would give five hundred, or if necessary a thousand dollars for the same purpose. Will you be so kind as to present this matter to
