M Maryland"ris Freft r It is a constant boaat of the Attolitioawta that Maryland has been road a " Free State'' under the AdrainUtratlon of Abraham Lin, coin. That our readers may have some know- ledge of the kind of " freedom"-that is enjoyed in Maryland, we publish the following extracts from one of ' Druid's" Letters to the New York World, dated Baltimore, November 19, j 18G4: " - v::V-:.;- j "FREE JlaRTLAXD." - I It would be arnuaing, if i t were not for the sad reflection which tbey evoke, to witness, the antics of the fanatical abolitionists who at present rule Maryland, at the fact that a few hundred wretched niggers have been deprived of comfortable homes and kind -masters, and turned loose a paupers upon society. To hear these one-idea people talk, one might suppose that the people of Maryland had all been slaves from time immemorial, and that now, for the first time in their history, Maryland was free. Everybody is expected to go into extacie8 over Free Maryland," as if Mar ryland had never been free befoae. The readers of the World know 7tow "free" Maryland is now. The people of Maryland are free tp speak and act aiid vote in the manner that is pleasing to Abraham. Lincoln. Bnt they are not free to ppeak, or act, or vote, in any other way. Why have all the Democratic papers in the state been suppressed f Is that frpedom? Why is it that the Sun, the most influential newspaper in the state, ' has not. published an editorial article for more than three years ? Because its editors, being con-servative Democrats, and true Union men of the school of Webater and Clay, know how to preserve nilence in regard to the usurpations of the Executive (as they are justly styled by Ifenry Winter Davis) is the price which they mut pay for the privilege of publishing their paper at all. Is that freedom ? Why was my vote opened, my ballot scrutinized, and myself stared at and insulted, when I voted for Model lan on .the 8th itiHtant? Is that freedom? The secret ballot is the right of every American citizen. Yet I was deprived of it, although I stood at the polls until mv violated ballot nom t marvlano EXJOVED SEAl. raKCDOM before war. f JfarvlanJ waa free, and her people were No state wa6 -more so. Every branch of industry flourished.': She enjoyed it to its full extent that priceless boon of liberty regulated by law. None of her citizens could be arretted without due process of law, and the meanest criminal was entitled to the benefit of the rights of habeas corpus and trial by jury. That was freedom. Look at Maryland now. She Is not free. Her negroes have been set free. But the personal liberty of every citizen of Maryland h"petlds now upon the will or the caprice of .Abraham Lincoln. That i the "free Maryland"-' over ..which" we are called to rejoice. "lot dE rOOR AFRICAN." . The negroes in Maryland, before they were " freeed,!' were com tor table, contented and happy. It remains to lie seen whether they will continue to be bo in their new and untried rendition. It Is certain that this sudden emancipation of several thousands of helpless ne-groea, Will cause great suflering to the unfortunate rictim0i false philanthropy. Already they have hegtin to crowd Baltimore, where the marble halls and gilded saloons of the Once-ariatocrntic Maryland club houe have leen set apart to their reception. A few of tlie negroes mav be wise enough toot Ay on the plantations, and to work for their old masters for the very liberal wages which the latter offer'. But almost all the able bo-lied men have already been induced to enter the army, and the suffering will chiefly fall upon the helpless women and young children. " FREE H ARVLaJID NOT FREE FROX IXTASIOV. It is a pity that those who " freed" Maryland cannot keep us free from the incursions of those audacious rebels who will persist in cavorting up and down the Shenandoah valley. - It Was only a few nights ago that all the inhabitants of Hageretown, in " Free Maryland," forsook their beds, and sought refuge in their cellars, because it was believed that Early's rebel army had crossed the Potomac, were advancing on Hagerstown, and would shell the place. y Their apprehensions have not yet been realized ; but neither were they groundless. The indications are, that the Up per f otoinac wil; witness some stirring scenes before the end of this month. ; Is ihis BeUgion? .

Eo. Banner. .. ' -.! -' - ). Sioux Crrr, Iowa, Xprij 9, 1864. - Mr. Editor Many friends in oldKnoxare desirous that I should give them what information I can relative to the " Gold mines of Idaho" the prospects of Gold the shortest and best route to the mines, &c. Not having time to write each individual, I concluded to answer through the columns of the Banker, which every body in Knox county reads, or should read. My facilities for obtaining-correct and reliable information are very good, as I frequently converse with persona parsing to and from the mines. I am assured by miners that gold exists in paying quantities, and that those who use industry and frugality can soon amass a fortune. The mines Of Idaho are unsurpassed in richness by any yet discovered. I will as briefly as I can give the- points and distance" on the land route from this place, fro that the reader, with the assistance of the map, can form a very correct idea of the route. ' Leaving Sioux City, yon pass westward np the Missouri river 90 miles, to Niobrara, at. the junction of the Niobrara and Missouri rivers. ' Thence up the Niobrara nearly a due west sourse, 230 miles, on the emigrant road to Fort Laramie and Pike's Peak to the mouth of Antelope creek. From ' thence 90 miles by the Fort Laramie road to the last crossing of the Niobrara from1 thence 60 miles to the Dry- Fork from thence 70 miles to the Pow der river' thence 35 miles ' Tounge river thence SO miles to the Rose Bud thence 15 miles to Little Horn thence '"SO miles to Big Horn 10 miles further on the Big Horn and you are at tbe New-Mines on Stinking-vater Creear, '(s not very- 'enphoniods name), making the' entire distance from '.ionx City ' to the nearest mines, 640 miles. 'Passing directly on from Big Horn to Prior's Fork from thence 10 miles to dark's Fork thence 25 miles" to Nea Perce's Fork thence 51 miles' to Big Bend on-Ye low Stone river from 'thence 48 trrUeswWnaflariir'Hirer the'WA tin, at the Three Forks of the Missouri, about 7 miles from the mines of Gold creekjja distance of 804 miles from Sioux City. From Gallatin City to Virginia City 45 miles, and thence to Bannock City east, a distance of 71 miles in all, 920 miles from Sioux City. By reference to the map it will.be seen that North-west Iowa, Northern Nebraska and De-kota are in closer proximity to the gold fields of Idaho, than any other settlements East of the Rocky Mountains. The distances above given have been obtained from reliable men, who have several times passed over the route. It was traveled in 1857 by Lieut. Warren ; in 1858-9, by Capt. Randall, Lieut. Andrews and Pike's Peak emigrants. The gentlemen above named all agree in saying that this route is unsurpassed by any other as to distance, water, grass, wood and game, such as Buffalo. Elk, Ac, Teams can haul with ease from 18 to 20 hands, per yoke. This route is from 40 to 680 miles shorter than any other. A glance at the map will oon convince you of this fact. J could enlarge npon its advantages were it not for trespassing on your columns. Many are prepar. ingto leave here about the middle of May for the land of gold. All hope, before returning, to fully realize the old song: " . " Oh, the gold ! the gold ! they say 'Tis brighter than the day ; Now 'tis mine, I'm bound to shine, And drive dull care away. C. M. Davis, Esq., of Gallatin, Idaho, has prepared a map of the route above named, and mines,' copies of which will be furnished free of charge. ' " ' I fear I have already wearied your patience but since I have been writing, the cry of Indians has been heard in our streets. A messenger from a 'settlement about 40 miles' North of this, on the Big Sioux rivef, bits come flying up to Col. 'Wilson's headrfdafiefs, informing the Colonel tbat fKelrtdians had tba fnWnirg feiilerd two' trappers in1, his neighborhood, it squad" of" Iqtdfiera were immediately ordered out in pursuit, arid it is hoped they they will skin the red devils before they return.

' y ": The following letter "confiscated" by the Federal' soldiers I in Virginia, is published by the Milwaukee News. It has net er before been p )lished: Washington, J J 12, 1820. Dear Siiu -Tlie Mi Jpuri question still encages the attenti of coneress, and there ia nx certaint t what time, or. in what inanner, it wil terminate. Mr. Kmg 8poke yesteruy, and acc rd ioe to the. report of thefee who heard him, unhesitatingly declared that the extension of domestic ajavery beyond the states in which it now exists, broke the federal , compact ; tpat his course was fixed ; that he should be no longer bound by that compact. I It is said that his; doctrine generally. Iel to emancipation, declaring that all Jnen are .born equally free, and that wq had no right to hold in slavery those who - are now slaves. Tliat instead of permitting its extension . to new states, the slaves while such, ought to beT: appendant to the soil, where they were and to pass with it. Other things were said by him, which will probably reach you from others. . I am not surprised at these doctrines from Mr. King I am only surprised that he has -thus publicly avowed them. They avc the same object in view, with the project of 1786, for shutting up the mouth of the Miss issippi, brought forward by Mr. Jay, and supported by him The object then was the dismemberment" of the union, by the Alleghany, mountains, or some such line,: which would prevent the admission into, it ot inew st:tes, in that"' quarter. This obiect was not u" vowed, but was -nevertheless apparent, and charged in debate . on the authors ot tne project, ine aetaus ot it may be seen m the second volume of the de bates of the convention of Virginia re spectmg the constitution. The secret journal containing the proceedings has never been published, through all other documents during the?: revolution, and since the adoption of thiB government, have been. ! A mondndhV of nower in the eastern-portion- of fehe union, to ae perverted : to : improper purposes, was then the motive. It is the same now. In this sentiment I should ' have been confirmed, as soon as I saw the associ ation of Mr. J;fv with Mr. Kinr, in this business, as was lately apparent,, had I doubted before. The primary object in the present scheme is an arrangement of power, in the non-slave holding states, against the others, to be maintained on that principle, and to be exercised to th oppression of the latter. If this should be accomplished, the ruin of the southern country would inevitably follow. The whites will continue to emigrate, and the blacks remain. In twenty or thirty years the disproportion would be so great that the whites would abandon the country, to avoid insurrection and massacre. If Missouri should be admitted under restraint, or kept out of the union, I shall consider this work as begun and with fair prospect of success. The minds of the leaders in this project might be satisfied with the ascendancy mentioned, short of disunion, but they are prepared for, if they do' not prefer it ; and most unfortunately, the expedient resorted to by fhem1 is ihe ffiost favorable that our system1 adniits forTthe acComplishent of their pernicious purposes. Throughout Hie western country slavery is abolished, and the great body of the western people are attached to liberty, and altogether ignorant of the condition of the southern states. In meetftfgs called for the exposition of their sentiments relative to the intention of slavery, and which- with them is in a great measure an abstract question, they naturally vote against it, and thus all the states thus circumstanced, ar rallied under - and in sirp-port of these leaders. At present rifariy members in both houses, who took .part against the project last sessioii, and wbo' deem it unconstitutional, vote against the sense, and in some irisances, the lustiuctiuiis, yi men oMiriico. xui wiiii- out some change ot sentiment iri their states their opposition cannot last tdng.'

Excellent Beflections The Future of . Dernocracy. We have seen nowhere the future of the Democratic party so well discussed as in the following, which we take from a communication in the Albauy Argiit and Atlas: But shall we sink as a party? is the brief interrogation of the fearful ! The answer is easy and certain. If Despotism is to triumph over free government, the Democracy is forever dead. If self-government triumphs over kingly pre tensions, we live as victors. Ihe people can find in their response, the answer. As a party we never Stood bet ter. As to hopeful consequences, we never stood so strong. A minority by only a few thousands, will . escape ; the responsibility of poWeV at the most criti cal time in n ttionai existence, scarce ly Below majority, we are too strong to. De suDjugateu, wmie tne logic oi expe rience will surely bring us reinforce ment, and our enemy must register consequent desertions. Taxation,, death and woe, are the luxuries with which our opponents must load the. tables of those they invite to their feast, perchance of death. Their guests will be numerous, their rejoicers will be few. Discord and belligerent Republics or brutal anarchy, and extended and densely populated grave yards will be the patrimony bequeathed, if they pursue a fatal policy ; while remorse and blighting recollections will gnaw their vitals if they are forced to yield to us. It will be ours to suffer in the former, to counsel in the la tter while the power covers the responsibility. Let no Democrat feel . sad that his party can not press the bitter cup to the lip that is ultimately to turn in scorn and anguish Upon those who pre side at the Table of Death. Let no Conservative mourn at the seeming destruction that now blocks his path. - Adversity will purify, experience will demonstrate in the future as in the past, our advertisements, prophecies. Self preservation will show the necessity of; completing our. organization ; the cause, of free government will again jsummon .us, reinforced, .to .the ccntest ; the medicine we are now taking will deplete the system, and if the con stitution is not entirely destroyed, it will outuve; the quackeries ot the present, to be again ros tored by long-tried specifics. And so certain as free government survive, we shall be called to the bedside to administer the remedy the "Tares and Wheat" will again live together in peace ; the Higher Law and its advocates will be numbered amicl the e scourges of the race, and the Coh'siHti- tional Democracy will rescue, from the wreck o f misg u ided govern men t, the Tree of Liberty which they jIaffted and nurtured for eighty years, and which shall again cast its lovely shado'w over them while they iri turn shall, as in the past, defend its roots. Democrats! stand firmly by your principles j and if amid the general wreck the tree shall retain its vitality, you shall be its rescuers, its defenders, its preservers. Until the last hope sinks iri gloom nil tlesperandunt de re- publica. The Tower of Babel. After a ride of eighfmiles, says a writer in Blaekwool, we were at the foot ofBiers-Nim-rood. : Our horses' feet were trampling uporf the remains of bricks, which showed here and there, through the accumulated dust and rubbish of ages. Before our eyes uprose . a great mound ol earth, barren and bare.; This was Bier-Niraroo'd, the ruins of the Tower of Babel, by which the first builders of the earth bad vainly hoped to scale high heaven. Here', so, it was that Nebuchadnezzar built ; for bricks bearing his name have been found in the ruins. At the top of the mound a great mass of brickwork pierces the. accumulated soil. . With yourfinger yoii touch the very br cks, large, equare-nhaped and massive, that were " thororignly" burned : the very mortar the " eli me," now bard as a granite handled more than' four, thousand years ago' by earth's impious people. From' the : summit of the mound, far away over the plain we could see glistening; brilliant as a fitar, the. .gilded dome of a mosque, that, caught aria reflected the bright rays of thw morning sun.

'.. -. v . ,:.' : : v ":; Jrom the N. T. Worlds The way in which secret crime reveals itself is wonderful. The stain of blood will not out. The very means taken to conceal it expose and fix it upon the guiltyl Snch is the conations restlessness of guilt, It spills itaelf, in fearing to be spilt. A case is now under examination in Albany which shows what trivial circumstances lead to the detection of the secret murderer. Owen Thompson, a cattle dealer of this city, accustomed to purchase in the Albany market, usually carried on his person $4,000 or $5j000 on his visits there On the 16th of September he had bedh engaged all day at West Albany, but had made no purchase, lie went out in the evening with a stranger to look at some cattle that had come from Saratoga and were placed in the most remote pens in the market. Next" day at sunrise he was iouna ayinir, his head broken with a slung-shot it is supposed; his money, $1,200, and a check for $3,200, gone. Hfl -a 11 " 1 'It - TTI . i no had done the deed: v ho was the stranger that had taken Thompson off to show him the cattle: A man with a slouched hat had been seen with Thompson, lie had bandied him about betting, and offered to stake thousands upon Lincoln's election. Thompson off ered to put up any amount on the other side. lie produced his well-scuffed wal let, . and it was noticed the stranger stuck to him all day after this One of the drovers, (renter, of Tribe s Hill, recollected the man who had ask ea mm, "uont you . Keep Dar some- wheres? Havn't I seen you ; before?" But though the magistrates of Albany offered a reward of $500, and the drovers added $2,000 to it, there was no clue to the murderer. A month afterwards, as the drover Genter was riding in the cars to Schen ectady, he fell into .accidental conver sation with a passenger, who, after a few brief words, abruptly asked him, "Haven't vou kept bar some wheres? Haven't I seen you before? "Yes," he replied: 'I must have seen vou at West Albany." The passenger denied tins; Dut ixenter replied, vxes. x am sure, and I arrest you as the murderer of Thompson. The ,nlan s slouched hat had been replaced bv another, his mustache had disappeared his dress. was different. It was the question, the accent, the tone of voice, that Were the marks of identification. After the arrest, other proofs came. Gordon, arrested, had been spending money recently with great freedom.-lie had paid out two bills of one hundred dollars each on the Park bank, at which Thompson had dealings. He was a shittless, dishonest maji. lie had carried a bad character into ; the army, arid made it worse there. He was traced to Schenectady tho night of the murder, and probably ran down to the depot after the crime and took the train. The servant girl, the black barber, and others at the Drover's hotel, identify him with more or loss positive-ness. ' f";-:-'. All counties have their traditional stories of murder detected by some such casual expression as that let fall in this case. There is an old Irish story of a servant maid who went to steal some linen frdm her master to make her a shift but, her heart misgiving her, she exclaimed, "Better go n-aked to bed, with a clean conscience!" Btft that same niglit there was robbery and murder in the blouse, which remained undetected, till one day, going to the well, she saw two men there, one of whom exclaimed, "Better go naked to bed, with a clear conscience." Conviction and hanging end that story of course ; Iri Ruber's opera of "Fra Diavblo" the plot turns upon this inciden t. Zerlina, uridressing for the night before the glass, unconscioJfs of the presence of the robbers, sings r "' .."For a servant; there's no denying Here's a shape that's not much amias ? .There ia bo cause, I fancy, for sighing,' When one boasts such a figure aa this?-I'm aare there are some more amiss.
