NEW MILITARY POSTS IS MARYLAND.
Military posts are -to be established in the
new military distucts carved out of Southern
Maryland, and the people of SL Marys, Prince
George and Charles counties will for the first
time begin to feel, what is military rule.' They
have notoriously harbored and aided to the best
off heir abilities the murderer of President Lin
coln, and nowrelent. Their good intentions are
too late. They must now-take the consequences
of their aiding "atid abetting the most Heinous
crime that has ever startled any civilized com
munity. There is no doubt othat many are in
nocent : but the fact that Booth . and his fellow;
conspirators were harbored and concealed for a J
whole week m their midst requires hat all
should share the punishment, unless they will
point out and'givo up the guiRy( pnes.
LEX'S SOLDIERS ORGANIZED INTO GUERILLA BANDS.
Guerrilla parties continue to infest the coun
try between Washinjn and Richmond. Pa-i
roied soldiers from Leo's army have organized
predatory bandsC and prey alike on friends and
foes wherever plunder invites them. yhe resi
dents in the counties adjacent to Washington
aro disposed to adopt tho new order of affairs,
and go to work to get up crops, but are preveri-M
ted by these rebel outlaws. Measures have
been taken to clear, them out, and teach them
that there is a short shrift and long rope for all
such plunderers.
