Maryland Regiment
--Quite a large number of Marylanders are now here, for the purpose of helping us fight our battles, and that they can fight, no one will question.
One or two companies have already organized, and others are waiting for recruits.
Maryland regiment would give a good account of itself in the day of conflict, and we hope it will soon be ready to take the field.
Meanwhile, the men are here paying their own expenses, which bears hard upon the purses of some of them.
We suggest that they be furnished with facilities for going into camp, when they can fill up and organize in a short time.
The citizens ought to give them a lift in this matter, if the authorities will not. We have no sort of doubt that if the proper encouragement were given to these Marylanders, a splendid and effective regiment would soon be formed.
It is natural enough that they should prefer an organization of their own to enlisting promiscuously, and while they are perfecting their plans they s

--The Montgomery correspondent of the Charleston Courier (May 13) writes:
"I learn from good authority that the Congress will certainly adjourn within seven or eight days at furthest, to meet in July next at Richmond.
The precise day is not given upon which to re-assemble in Virginia; and I am also assured that the month is not positively fixed, though the majority seem inclined to favor July rather than June, as has been proposed.

Statements appear in the Montgomery journals of the 15th, confirming the above.
A sum for the Cabinet.
--There are now about thirty thousand soldiers in and around Maryland, to hold that "loyal," Independent and sovereign State in subjection to the Federal Government.
If anyone of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet is good at figures, we propose the following sum for his consideration.
If it takes thirty thousand soldiers to hold the little and "loyal" State of Maryland in subjection, how many will it take to suppress rebellion in all the powerful and revolted States of VirgState of Maryland in subjection, how many will it take to suppress rebellion in all the powerful and revolted States of Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas? Mr. Lincoln's war programme will require an army of at least five hundred thousand men to suppress rebellion, and then if he could suppress it, it will take a standing army of at least three hundred thousand men to keep it suppressed. This immense standing army would cost us four hundred millions a year in solid cash.
Then we must estimate that one-third of our soldiers will
