This pleasant Sabbath mjrning ' find me seated in the shade pfsome oaks, in full view of the beautiful little city of Frederick; situated in a 'delightful part of "My Maryland"- and thousands of the sons of the South around me; whose, flashjng dyes r and soul-Ht countenances speak freedom to an oppres sed, land.' 1 Bnt I will begin at the beginning or at least t the time I left the "Old North State," whtre I had been fur some time on a wounded furlough".

But a soldier is not over fastidious nor bard to please. I was soonZmo "filled" and on the i road to the "City of Oaks.". The cars were very much crowded with soldiers returning to duty, and your "very humble" had to stand up. lor some time, but was at length fortunate enough to get a seat by the side of a "young gentleman of the army," and in front of a . . pair of buxom lasses." Of course there was no such thijtg as sleep during the night, crowded as we were, but I was. sufficiently repaid for the loss of sleep by l ... .1. j.: . i iieariug tuo lubcieauug cuuTersauuu earned on DC tween my neighbor and the two young ladies but I must uurry oo. uoi a rate oreaKiacc on cne rnaA snmhMfi chancer, earn afc T1ai crh ,'lnW ot-n-, " O "1 T T , - ping a few, moments,- hurried on to Weldun, and if - 1 .!

The moon was already far up when we desisted from the pursuit, and, tired and worn out, threw ourselves upon the ground for rest. !The scene around us was heart-rending in the . ex treme.' The proportion of the Yankee dead to ours was as three ; to ' one. On every side, the groans of the wounded and dying and the iraplo riug cries for water, water, fell upon ears.

' The Puritan race, whose- principles rule the New England, some of the Western, and powerfully in fluences the balance of the Northern States is known in English history,as a seditious and turbulent minority and a ruthless and despotic majority.' For a century and a half they waged war against the Church of En gland, as they do now against slavery, and finally suc ceeded in overthrowing Church and Stat?.' A mi . nority of the people of England, to maintain them- selves, abolished all constitutional liberty, arid sub stituted a military despotism which foryears scarce ly allowed toleration for any' creed but their own. In Ireland, their course was marked by bloodshed and rapine ; they confiscated all the land, and quoted the Bible as their authority for treating its conquered nannle. as the Israelites of old treated t,h lnTisxriitanta 1 X , - . ..... -w of the promised land. Fire and sword was not spared, and the history of Puritan rUle in Ireland foreshadows whatthe South will suffer, if God in his anger al lows them to subjugate it. When the death of Crom well gave freedom to England, tha baffled fanatics, dreading a retribution for their scorpion rule, fled to Holland. There they had freedom of conscience and mu iioerty ior tneir peculiar creed, Dut as they could not persecute, they came to America and founded a nnmber,of States, where their tyranny over other men's consciences had full play. Thesold Quakers into slavery, and hung Roman Catholics; and their treatment of Roger Williams,- the founder of Rhode Island, is known to every schoolboy.

It is quite consistent that thoir descendants of the present dav should satiate their avarice and glut their vengeance in the name of a God whom they blaspheme and of a freedom which they neither understand nor enjoy being violators of the holiest attributes of the one, and utterly ignorant of the true principles of the other. W. Provost Marshals their office, powers and duties. The following communication has been nrftsent.d tr the Senate from the Secretary of War, in reply to a resolution requesting certain information from the Pre sident in relation to the pay and appointment of Pro vost Marshals: His Excellenry Jefferson Davis; President C. S. A: . Sin : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the enclosed resolution of the Senate, requesting you to give them information concerning the pay and appointment of. Provost Marshals'. The aTmy regulations provide for the employment, by a Commanding General or a General of Division, of Provost Marshals, who are charged with the cus-' tody of prisoners and the performance of police duties. In garrisons non-commissioned officers are usually as- signed to tnese duties, out, with armies m the field, deprived as they are of the assistance of the civil au thorities, and often encumbered with large numbers of prisoners, the duties become more difficult and im portant, and commissioned officers are detailed fur their discharge. . It will be observed that Provost Marshals. are em ployed, not appointed; otherwise officers of the army, already holding commission's, could not be assigned to !such duty without holding two distinct appointments from the Government. It having, been found that large amounts of public property at our principal depots, and the peace and good order of many of our towns were endangered by' the numerous' stragglers from the army, and camp followers hanging about them, and that desertion from the army was encoiaraged by the want of per sons at those points authorized to make arrests, the Department employed Provost Marshals, and vested them with authority over all persons in the army found within their respective limits. They Jiave no authority whatever over persons not in the army, except where martial law is in'force,in which localities their police powers are. extended to citizens as well as soldiers. Whether martial law exist or not, they are express ly prohibited by a general order from exercising civil jurisdiction, and the Department has checked them in all cases in which t he exercise of such jurisdiction has been made, the subject of complaint.. Many of the Provost Marshals of posts where mar tial law is not in force have fallen into the error of supposing themselves to be clothed with general po lice powers, but the Department has. invariably in formed them when such cases were brought "to ilsat- veuuuu, mat couia oenve the power to arrest citi zens from the civil magistrates only.- Their compensation is usually fixed at that of a cap tain of infantry, but in some few cases they have been allowed the pay of field officers. The reference to the army grade is merely for the purpose of fixing their rate of compensation, and does not confer on them grade or commission. The employment of Provost Mashals and provost guards is essential to the preservation of public prop erty, to the peace and good order of our chief towns, and to the very existence of the army. ' They are paid by the Quartermaster's Department because the army regulations require that Department iu py uic lucmentai expenses of the army, including Xa,M11.. It I 1 mm iiiciauy an proper ana authorized expenses for the movements and operations of the army, not expressly assigned to other-departments. Provost Marshals being essential to the operations of the army and riot being chargeable to any other department, seem properly to be assigned for their pay and allowances to the Quartermaster General's De partment.

The New York Times, of the bth-an a leading editorial, makes the following remarkable confession : " It is perfectly idle to conceal the fact that, as we stand to-day, tc are beaten ; and the same faults which have beaten us hitherto will, if continued, beat us to the end of the chapter. If we persist in the policy thus far pursued ; if we have not better generals in the army, and better councils in the Cabinet and more vigor, a mora high toned energy, a more resolute and weTl aimed determination in the Government than we have had hitherto, the rebellion will conquer the Go vernment, Jeff. Davis will take Mr. Lincoln's seat, and the Constitution of the Confederacy will re-place the Constitution of the United States. But with such a reform, promptly started and vigorously carried out, we can conquer the rebels and restore the ascendancy of the National flag."
