Maryland In the Maryland House of Delegates, on the 20th inst., Mr. Pitts made a speech, confining himself solely to the question of State-Rights. In conclusion, he said: Again and again has the assertion been made of Territory wrested from the Federal Government by the seceded States, and the secession of Louisiana, of Florida and of Texas has furnished the theme for oft-repeated ridicule. But what has been said of Virginia, who, in order to secure that Union she is now falsely accused of assailing — Virginia, whose soil is now being reddened with the blood of her own brave children, mingling with that of the generous sons of every Southern State--by a deed of free gift gave away without price an empire to the North? The very States now most clamorous for her blood are the creatures of her bounty — the stained monuments of her sublime patriotism. Yet we are told she must be whipped back into a servitude she has spurned; that in order to recover forts and arsenals
. Mr. G. made no remark except as he entered the carriage, when he said quietly that it was certainly a great array for the capture of an old man of sixty-two years of age. On the arrival of these gentlemen at the Fort they were confined, together with Marshal Kane and Mr. Merryman, in three very small rooms. No attention was paid to their comfort, nor were they provided with or asked if they desired bed, bedding or food. They were visited during the day by Mayor Brown, Mr. Wallis, Mr. Pitts, and several friends.--Later in the day orders were sent by the gentlemen themselves to Mr. Jenkins, cabinet maker, to send them down the necessary bedding. There is every appearance of great uneasiness exhibited at the Fort. Chevaux-de-frise are being thrown up and active preparations being made to protect the Fort from an assault. At any other period than the present, the ridiculous alarm exhibited by the troops in and around the city would be a matter of much amusement. The fo

Mr. Morris moved to take up the ordinance previously reported by the special committee in relation to the loyalty of Judge Pitts, of Accomac. It was taken up and passed. Punishment of Offenders. On motion of Mr. Price, the Convention look up the ordinance for the trial of persons offending against the laws Judge Pitts, of Accomac. It was taken up and passed. Punishment of Offenders. On motion of Mr. Price, the Convention look up the ordinance for the trial of persons offending against the laws of the Commonwealth in counties in possession of the common enemy. It passed, as follows: "Be it ordained, That offenders against the criminal laws of this Commonwealth, when the offence shall have been committed in a county in the possession of the public enemy, or is threatened with invasion, whereby the laws cannot be safely or conveniently administered therein, may be prosecuted, tried, and punished in any other convenient county; and no question of jurisdiction as to the place of tr
overnment, backed up as it is by abolitionism. We have seen an address to the voters, by one Gillet F. Watson, who modestly says that at the request of a large number of friends, "he has very reluctantly consented" to become a candidate for their suffrages for the position of State Senator! The document possesses neither importance nor interest, its prominent characteristic being a servile fawning at the foot-stool of the Federal tyrants. We have not heard whether he succeeded in his aspiratiects or not. The only civil office not vacated by the proclamation of "Governor" Pierpont, as that of Judge of the Eastern District, which, we are informed, is still held by Judge Pitts. There are now here some two hundred of the regiment organized on the Eastern Shore previous to its occupation by the enemy. We hope some arrangement will be effected by the War Department, through which these men, who are anxious to fight for their country, may be enabled to preserve their organization.
