The last number of the London Times which we have received, brings us another letter from the correspondent of that paper, Mr. Russell. The letter is dated Baltimore, September 19, and is devoted to the consideration of the wretched and helpless condition of Maryland, in the present war. We give below some fall and interesting extracts : There has been a considerable outer v in the i North, in reference to the meaos whereby several States have been what is called "forced out of the Union." But it is not to be expected tbl in. the suue?le for States " - -" aud the United States, otuo auoiatu uu. w committed by the latter, which have very much the look of "forcing them not to go out of the Union." The practice of calling things by their right, names, though morally commendable, is actually disagreeable ; and, in certain conditions of affairs, it renders a man liable to be considered a "nuisance" by one side or the pther. But I shall proceed, nevertheless, to make some remarks on the State ot Maryland,' based on a previous visit before the coup d'etat of the Government at Washington had extinguished the Legislature. It is said that the President promised he would not send any more troops through Baltimore, but military exigencies are imperative, and GenT Scott, on that point, must have been master of the situation. Here, in fact, was one of those instances in which State's rights doctrines must be completely annihilated when brought in contact with the necessities of the Federal Government. That which could not be done in South Carolina for lack of force was done in Maryland by means of force. Theie was little temporizing or negotia ting. Troops were at once poured in : the best points were occupied; General Banks was ap pointed. The State was held in iron grasp ; noto rious sympathizers were arrested ; habeas corpus was suspended ; the return of the writ of the judges showed the people what they had to ex pect; the Police Commissioners Board was dis solved ; the Marshal was arrested ; the Federal General in command appointed a citizen of Bal timore in his stead, and men who are, it is said, persons well known to the old police, and of in different local reputations, were substituted for the old police, and proceeded, without either uniform or the exhibition of warrant or authority, to search bouses, to seize upon persons, and to substitute a rigorous system of surveillance extending itself to the colors of children's dresses nd the trim mings of ladies' gowns, and the neck-ties of pas sers by in the streets. The Legislature of the State condemned the early steps of the Government, and in a well writ ten and a very able report, which was adoptod by the large majority of both Houses, denounced the suppression of the Public Board and the usurpa tion of the civil power by the military as illegal and unconstitutional. Perhaps they had the best of the argument, quoad promises and conclusion. On a Vauxhall masquerade night, long ago, I heard a controversy between a gentleman attired as Charles II. and a person who had, by the ex ercise of some influence, obtained the loan of the Lord Mayor's suit of armor, in which his knight ship U dressed the unmistakable brass habili ments of our annual Feast of Chivalry. The dis pute was about a seat in an arbor, and the pay ment of certain moneys for creature comforts; and Charles II, wise and witty, had succeeded in showing his antagonist he was completely in the wrong on every point in hypothesis, and, in fact, when tbe knight, suddenly lowering his visor, and exclaiming : "Now, then, take that!" struck out with his left, and hitting the successful con trovertialist between the eyes, wrested victory from his grasp and walked away with it. The satisfaction of being right, no doubt, is something; but in the present instance, there are millions of people in the United btates who will not give the vanquished of Maryland such a melancholy con solation. But they persisted in their course. They cried aloud, "Why do you treat us a9 if we were enemies? We are still part of the Union. We are not out of it." To which the Govern ment replied, in effect, "We regard you as peo ple who would be open enemies if yeu could, and who would go out of the Union if you had the meats. Hence McHenry and Lafayette ! WG are determined not to lejt you go out of the Union, and to prevent your passing any resolution to that effect." Some days ago I heard that the members of the Legislature hostile to the Gov ernment would be arrested before the session opened at Frederick, and on Monday it was an nounced that twenty two of the mo6t prominent men in the State and in the city of Baltimore had been taken prisoners on the authority of war rants from Washington. Some of those gentle men probably expected that such would be the case, but only one or two succeeded in keeping out of the way. Still, I thought tbe Legislature would meet, but now, I am informed, there is no possibility of obtaining a quorum ; and it seems probable that other members and the officers of both nouses win De tasen into cusioay as soon as the doors are open. If, in the days of the Irish Parliament, at the time of the Declaration of Dungannon, the English Government had, by a sudden coup upon JJublin, arrested Liord tJlare mont and his friends, and seized all whe were supposed to be in favor of the Volunteers and their principle?, including the officers of the two Houses of Parliament, would have furnished some type of the treatment of Maryland, always sup posing that there ever have been such things as State rights. England, however, never could have taken such steps, and in those evil days when habeas corpus has been suspended, the ar rest of State prisoners have always been made up on proper warrants, duly exhibited to the ac cused. It is impossible, I think, to deny that the great majority of the landholders, and of the respectable classes of Maryland are in favor of Secession prin ciples, and that they hate the New England States 1. 11 . 1 o 1 1 J - A A At (itT , n as coraiaiiy as meooutueruen uebeatwe" x anaees. Itis not that they are slaveholders so much as that thev maintffmi-slaveholdiner rrruaranteed bv te C-rtitutiorfsPd that tf 5lWbo attaf " are net gentlemen. ur jH.aryMc.rj -ry high aristocrat. If hr ancestors didnoti over with Lord Baltimorv to escape religiousCR secution, they were actuated by similar motif w He is generally Catholic and Anti-Puritan, as his forefathers were two centuries ago. In no part of the Union has slave labor been so profit less nowhere will so many men be found ready to condemn slavery on principle, though it may be legally right. They say "we keep oar slaves because we cannot get rid of them at once. Leave us alone, and the thing will die out itself." And then they are fond of enlarging on the vulgarity of Black Republicans and Abolitionists, and the curses of universal suffrage. To the commercial classes the prosperity of York, attained, as they aver, by unfair uses of political power, it also a grievance. The anomalies arise oat af an aristo cratic sentiment founded on pride of birth and extent of possessions, fostered by slavery and ag gravated by the opposition of neighboring States on the one hand, and on an ignorant Impatience of a result of republican institutions, which, how- ' ever, unexpected, was perfectly legitimate. A man who holds his lands by virtue of j charter signed by Lord Baltimore himself, is as great an aristocrat in feeling, and resents as keenly Jihe rale of many, as .though he were owner tf es tates recorded in Domesday, and descended from Dives. The great merchants are affcted by the atmos phere in which they live, and Baltimore has some what the pretentions of an old cathedral town in England, struggling against manufacturers and Chai tism. Some considerable towns have sprung up in the State recently, which are the rallying points for the Union men, and which are thorns in tne sides of the country gentlemen, but gene rally speaking, the majority of the people in moet of tbe counties are opposed to the Government, and there are few landed proprietors who are not Southern rights men. Many families have repre iontaiivo.s in the army of the Confederate State, and uYi ir.e efforts of the Federalists have not suf 8et.fi to prevent intelligence and aid being sent acrors the Polnmac into Virginia, and could not rr'.mr' t!-.-v -M'.,:.:- ,,f . ,:$ arr.v --I gfntl- friende. It was only the other- day I was speak ing to a gentleman who mentioned that he bad a laree number of relatives in the Southern arm v. as it it were a matter of common notoriety. "And bow did they get there ?" Why, they belonged to a body ,ot cavalry which we have had for many years. composed of the. young gentlemen of tbe country, to Keep down negro insurrection. They heard one night that the negroes were going to rise, 'and appearances justified the- rumor, bo they as sembled and sent in word to the General at Bal timore that they had met, and that they would probably require some aid lie ordered them at once to disband, or to wait till he sent out an an officer to make each of them take the oath of allegiance. Deeply offended by this conduct, nearly all of them rode off, crossed the river that night, and joined the enemy. The woraei. have embraced Beauregardism with the greatest devo tion, and their beauty and grace render them powerful proselytizers. It may be true that the State has been nearly disarmed by frequent and rigid searches, but if where are not bows, and flags and rosettes, of the orthodox colors forthcoming in profusion whenever the Confederates make their appearance, I am much deceived in the ingenuity and zeal of the fair Marylanders. On my first visit to Baltimore there was a report that the South Carolinians had opened fire upon Sum ter, and the feeling which displayed itself was cer tainly not one of regret. On my second visit, on my way from Fortress Monroe, Baltimore had f ITT . W? 1 a . tne air oi vv arsaw. ricKets at tne street corners, patrols in the thoroughfares, camps on the hills, soldiers cooking in the public streets, the people snllen and angry. The report bad been present ed to the Legislature respecting the suppiession of the police, and the inhabitants were satisfied they had been very badly used. But from the first there were strong hopes that the "tyranny wonld be'overnast" when the Confederates inva ded Maryland ; and it must have been a bitter disappointmen particularly after the battle of Ma nassas, to find there were no traces of their deliv erers' iootsteps, and that their voices were as dis tant as ever. General Scott's foresight, in fact, was never better exhibited than in the measures he took to secure Maryland at a time of enormous difficulty. Notwithstanding all her writhing! and convulsions, the State is so firmly manacled that nothing short of a victorious army's strength can liberate her. It would not have been possible to let Mary land go, nor can any one, I presume, suppose that in any contingency the United States could ever resign the seat of their Government, tbe Po tomac, and the waters of the Chesapeake, to an independent power. To do that, the North must ' be subjugated as thoroughly as she intends to subjugate the South. But has the North ever considered that in Maryland, where there are many Union men, she is obliged to use the means which probably will be needed to a greater ex tent in the South, and then calmly consider what those means are? There are ten thousand men in and around Baltimore ; the General Due, in reply to certain representations, has stated that if the city fails into the hands of the enemy, he will be forced to lay it in asbes from his batteries. There are, probably, not less than 23,000 troops in other parts of Maryland. The social and political condition of the State is best estimated by these facts, notorious to tbe English public. If the North could but make an equation, and see whether she has the force to act the same part in the Southern States, it is not reasonable to suppose she could any longer deny that her mission is not conquest and subjugation, in which success is not certain, and which it is impossible to persist in permanently. Conquest may be achieved. By some extraordinary effort of military spirit even an armed occupancy of the seceded States may be effected for a time. But what becomes of tbe Constitution ,of republican institutions, of the Fed eral compact, of the rights of the people, and of the undoubted States rights of internal govern ment? There is, I know, a pretence that there is Union sentiment in solution in the South, which will tumble down in a thick precipitate on the head of the Confederates the moment it is stirred by a Federal bayonet; but there is no trace or foundation for the hypothesis. Look at North Carolina 1 Even the ultra Union papers ridicule the "bogus" or sham member, Mr. Foster, and his claims for stationery,7 and the authorization which has been issued for the creation of one regiment of North Carolinians is regarded as a matter of form, not likely to be of any great use. If the expectations be unfounded, what course will the Government pursue? Acknowledge their error and agree to a compromise? They dare not in the present temper of the people. Accept the situation and make a Maryland of every State. Even the wealth and energy and population of the North might well shrink from the task. But will South Carolina, Georgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, be more at tbe mer cy of the United States in she fall development of their programme than Maryland is now? The fu ture is full of difficulties, which even faith, the the evidence of things not seen, cannot pretend to solve. RUN HERE, EVERBODY ! PF.
