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

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.

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

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
