We would remind our readers of tiie necessity of receiving, with very considerable caution, the views of affairs iu the South which are spread be fore tlie public in the shape of telegraphic de spatches. Almost all tlie news from that quarter passes under the surveillance of Government agents, or comes on the authority of corres pondents who are hostile to the Southern people. The misrepresentations and rumors which are sent over the country daily, are of the grossest and most absurd character; and as they are numberless, it is impossible to stop to correct tlicin, and we must give them as they reaches. We content ourselves, therefore, with recommending our readers to receive with many grains of allowance, or in other words, to dis credit absolutely the reports of murders, starva tion, and discontent in tlie South, and ot the ina bility of its people to procure men or money or arms with which to defend themselves. Mr. Secretary SGWAIID proclaims to the world, in language not to be mistaken, ttie determination to treat as pirates all persons who engage in pri vateering under letters of marque from tire South ern Confederacy. In a proclamation covering a declaration equally resolute and equally ominous, the British Government, at the commencement of the War of Independence, announced its intention to do exactly the same thing. We need not say that tho threat was never carried out in a single instance during the whole period of the Revolu tionary contest, nor dnriug the war of JSI2: and we are quite certain that the menace will fall as harmless now as it did then. Every man who sprang to arms in defence of the liberties of the old thirteen Colonies was, according to the strict letter of the statute, guilty of treason against the mother country. WASHINGTON, HI the parliamen tary nomenclature of that day, was a rebel of the deepest dye. PATRICK HENRY was a rebel.— CHARI.ES CARROLL was a rebel. JEFFERSON, PACAI MARION, SUMTER, PINCKNEY, OTIS, WARREN, FRANKLIN, the two ADAMSES, all the signers of the Declaration of 1770, and all that great host o' patriots who, in the Cabinet and in the field, la" bored and fought against Great Britain, were rebels. In official documents, quite as choicely and deliberately worded as the Slate paper recently made public by-Mr. SEWARD, they were admonished of the penalties which the law attached to treason, and were foredoomed to die the death of traitors whenever and wherever caught. Well, some of them, quite a number of them indeed, were caught, from lime lo time; but the services of the Provost Marshal, so far as hanging was concerned, were quietly dispensed with. History records, how ever, that, on one occasion, it was proposed to exe cute certain prisoners; tint history also states that WASHINGTON —who was at first simply recognized as "Mr. WASHINGTON," and next as "General "WASHINGTON," and finally as "His Excellency " —coolly intimated to the British commander-in chief that if American prisoners, though taken with arms in their hands, were put to death, he I should immediately- retaliate by turning over for prompt execution an equal number of the British. After that, there was nothing more said about the matter; and neither on sea or land were the vol unteer rebels or the privateer rebels, when taken | prisoners, dealt witli in any other manner than is customary under the rules of war when waged between belligerent nations. Mr. SEWARD'S threat is, for a similar reason, an idle one. lie knows full well that he dare not evernm it the war which is now impending between the Federal Government and the Southern Confed eracy, no matter what the theory of the former may be, in the practical operations that must speedily ensue the latter will be treated as a bel ligerent power. The time will then have arrived for casting aside all shams. Mr. LINCOLN will scarcely venture any more to talk of suppressing "unlawful combinations;" and although in the Presidential messages and State papers the eight millions of people wtio have thrown off their al legiance to the old UNION may be stigmatised as rebels and traitors, and Mr. SEWARD, in his official correspondence with our ministers abroad and with the representatives of foreign Powers at Washington, may still adhere to oid formularies, and the customary language of diplomacy, it may be taken for granted that none of the "rebels" will be executed for high treason and none of the privafeersmett will be hung at the yard arm as pirates. In whatever light the European Powers may be disposed to regard the employment of privateers, it is a part of the American system of maritime warfare, an d the right of a belligerent to grant letters of marque authorizing private ves sels to fight with euetnirs, without becoming liable to a charge of piracy, has never been disputed. Mr. MARCY, in his letter to Count SARTIGKS under date of July 28th, 1856—extracts from which were published in the Exchange of yesterday declares that "the right to nsort to,privateers, is "as clear as the right to use public armed "shins, and as incontestable as attv other right "appertaining to belligerents." He quotes from a French work "of much reptile," to show, that • 'privateers are bona fair war vessels manned by vo lunteers." In a subsequent portion of his letter, after referring to the fact that "the United States, "if forced to vindicate their rights by arms, are "content to rely in military operations on land "upon volunteer troops"—he says: "most cer tainly no better reason can be.given for surren "dering the right to resort to privateers, than for "foregoing the right to receive the services of "volunteers." Now the right which the Colonial Congress claimed and exercised, and which less than five years ago Mr. MARCY so ably vindica ted, is exactly the one which, under parallel circumstances, governs the action of the Southern Confederacy at this time; and what is equally re markable—the law authorizing the granting of letters of marque, which has recently been adopt ed by the Confederate Congress, is almost a literal transcript of the United States law upon the sub ject, even to that provision of the Bill which lias been denounced more vehemently than any other at the North—the granting ofa bounty of twenty fire dollars tor each prisoner taken. Of infinite ly greater .importance, however, to the cause of the Southern Confederacy, is the fact that Lord JOHN RUSSELL lias announced to Parliament that the Britisli Government acknowledges the right of the Southern Confederacy to issue letters of marque, and that it "will not recognize the blockade of "tbeSouthern ports unless it be made effective." That the policy of the other European powers on these questions will be in accordance with that of England, we have every reason to believe. With these obstacles removed, the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States is but a question of time. As candidates are now being nominated for Congress in the several districts who are desig nated as "Unionists," it is high time that some of them should state precisely what they hope to accomplish, and explain the line of policy they intend to pursue. This is not the hour for cun ning reticence or windy rhetoric. The arts to which politicians ordinarily resort, to win a few rotes more or less will find no toleration now. The Republic is tottering to its fall; the country is on the verge of ruin; a hundred dire calamities are impending over the people, and men's hearts are failing them for fear. Sentimental rhapsodies cannot save the UNION, and platitudes ■will not bring us peace. We have had enough of these already. While men have been glorifying the Constitution, and enumerating the blessings or w licit we have been indebted to the continu ance o t e old Confederacy, the Constitution and L Who h ra< V aVe Passed awa y- And now, hey who have done nothing in this great crisis to uphold the one or maintain tl„. „,t T have placed Maryland (l friends regard w.th contempt and her adversaries with insolent scorn—these men now come forward with vague promises and pompous phrases offer to rescue her from humiliation. What have they done thus far to entitle them to the confidence of her people? But what is of more importance Btill, how do they expect to restore the unity of the nation, or, failing in that, where do they de ire or intend to place this State for the future? These are vital questions to us, and they demand unequivocal answers. Up to this moment the 1 "Union sis" have vouchsafed us no explicit and direct replies upon these points. They continue to i cry "peace, peace—when there is no peace." They are defining "allegiance'' and discussing the uature of "loyally." They are demonstrating the j illegality of secession, and pointing out the ad- 1 vantages of neutrality. They grow maudlin over j reminiscences of the past, and melancholy over 1 the prospects of the future. But meanwhile, j whither aie we tending? The UNION is al- j ready dissolved; a new, powerlul and unconquer- I aide Confederacy exists south of the Potomac; . and the fate of Maryland, which stands du- j biously between the hostile nations, is a'on* ! lobe decided. With these facts we are called | upon to deal. Shall we under such circumstances i entrust our interests, our rights, and our honor to the hands of those who are timidly and hesitating ly stumbling forward they know not whither, or shall we call to our ail those who have some clear conceptions of tiie difficulties of our situa tion, and who have some definite policy to propose and do not shrink from incurring responsibility, and if need be danger ? We are even now sub jugated, and unless we set manfully about the work of our own redemption, the temporary dom ination which presses so heavily upon us will fasten itself upon us for all coining time in utter disregard of our wishes or interests. If we are powerless let us not at least be any longer blind to the character of the events which are tran spiring around us or to the direction in which they are hurrying us. Let us, if we still hope to have a voice in determining our own destinies, insist upon knowing what are the views and pur poses of those who would direct our course. We ask therefore now, as we have done repeatedly heretofore that the "Unionists" shall deal fairly and frankly with the people. We desire to un derstand whether they still hope to preserve or reconstruct the UNION, and if so how they propose to set about it? Do they believe afier ail they have seen in the pa3t six months, and especially since the feeling lately manifested in the North, that its people or the Administration can be in duced to offer, at our solicitation, anv terms of compromise whatsoever to the South which would restore the oid connection between tlie two sec tions? Do they imagine that the South would now accept any of the measures of conciliation which it once vainly asked for, and that it would undo all that it lias lately done and dissolve the Government it has organized? Do they suppose that the armies and navies of the North can restore harmonious relations between the free and slave States and again compel the people of both sec tions to unite U3 brethren and citizens of a com mon country? Surely it is absolutely incumbent ou the "Unionists" to speak out upon these poiutsi and if they have no reasonable expectation of preserving the UNION, they are bound to lie equally explicit in regard to the action which Maryland should take in contemplation of the dis solution of the Confederacy. Do they desire Mary land, in such case, to abide with the Northern States? There are honest men who think her duty and her interest should prompt her to do so, but no man is honest who, in this emergency, enter tains these convictions and fears, or hesitates to express them. We have the right to know the sentiments of every individual who undertakes to influence the future fortunes of this State and its people. We do not want to be juggled into one Confederacy more than into the other; and it is because we see that it is tiic hope of many "Unionists" to trick us into a lasting alliance with the North that we thus continually challenge a declaration of their opinions and objects. We know that a portion of that party, under the de lusive cry of "UNION," "UNION," would lead us unconsciously into tlie new Northern Confederacy which is to be, and we warn ail to beware of these false counsellors, "That palter with us in a double sense ; That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope." Let the people iusist upon having a full and candid explanation of his opinions fromevery man who asks their confidence, or they may find, when it is too iate, that they have lost the power to con trol or influence their own destinies. Maryland must not drift to any destination towards which the strongest current of the hour may incline her. Her fate should be calmly and resolutely deter, mined by her people. Their right to do this is unquestionable, and we trust they will persist ently claim it; and, if need be, courageously fight for it, even though tfiev should have to wrestle with naked hands with the bayonets which would pin down their State as a conquered province upon the map of any Confederacy. If they would not waive or lose this right, let them be cartful not to follow the lead of any man or party with out know ing precisely where the path they are in ura IU euißi uu wtir laae uieni. NEW BOOKS. From Ticknor & Fields, Boston, and for sale by Cushings & Bailey: THE LIFE AND CAREER OF MAJOR JOHN ANDRE, Adjutant- General of the British Army in America. By WIN TIIROP SAROENT. With illustrations. 1 vol. 12m0., pp. 471. 1861. These "lines" can scarcelj' be said to have "fallen in pleasant places." A more unpropitious season for every species of literature, other than that of the journalist, could not be conceived. It is an era of telegrams, news letters and proclamations, while telle left rex are silent with arts and laws. Itis,there fore, as a craft, launched into a whirlpool, or as a leaf given to the winds, we must regard a book published at this time. In only one thing is the one before us seasonable. It is a tale of an old revolution told in the midst of a new one, and here and there we meet with those carious parallels which show that under similar circumstances human nature is even the same. Take for example, the following classification of the people of I'hiia. delphia, at the moment of ils occupation by the British in 1777, and see if it would not very well describe those of another city at this very hour: The Hank Tories came first. The Moderate Tories were such as preferred the English connection of 1763—valued worldly prosperity, hated New Eng land and loved the Rank Tories. The Timid Whiy* distrusted American power—the cost of the war and tt.e continental paper money; but were not disinclined to independence, if it could be got. Avarice was supposed to be their mainspring. The Furious Wlii'js injure the cause of liberty as much hv their violence as the Timid Whi'js by their fears. They think the destruction of Howe's army less important than the detection and punishment of the most insignificant tory; that the common forms of justice should be suspended towards a tory criminal; and that a man who only speaks against our common defence should be tomahawked aud scalped and roasted alive. They are likewise all cowards who skulk under the cover of an otiice or a sickly family when they are called on to oppose the foe in the field. Woe to the community that is governed liv this class of men. Lastly come the Staunch Whigs— temperate, firm and true; friends to their country —holding life and goods as less than American Independence. A separate memoir of Major Andre is certainly a book which ought to have been written and yet so much space has been devoted to him as the hero of one of the most remarkable transactions of the revo lutionary war, in all American histories, and judging not only by Mr. Sargent's own admission but also by the result of bis investigations, so little worth telling, was untold, that the subject pre sented but few attractions to biographical ambition. In spite, however, of the familiarity of the theme> by the aid of a pleasant style, judicious criticism and a happy use of the privilege of episode he has drawn a sketcli alike instructive and interesting. The management of a subject so trite and notorious so as not only not to fatigue and disgust the reader, but on the contrary to alf'ord a high degree of pleasure and information, is the best proof of the author's powers. We would in stance the third and fourth chapters as evincing views equally sound and comprehensive, of the situation of American affairs at the commencement of the revolution, coupled with ability in their pre sentation rarely met with. As to Andre, we think Mr. Sargent lays him down pretty much as he takes him up. He is pre sented in no new point of view, and the additional developments are only in the direction in which every reader is prepared to expect them. He has been rightly adjudged alike by contemporaries and posterity a young man singularly gifted with the powers of pleasing, destined to advance rather bv the arts of insinuation than by force of character. He had ail the talents and accomplishments which confer social distinction without the higher quali ties which entitle their possessor to historical fame. We therefore concur in the conclusion to which Mr. Sargent seems to have come that he was re markably lucky in being bung. By his execution he was "Happy, but of life to lose the worst," —escaping thereby all danger of his country's in gratitude and forgetfulness and half-pay, which are the common lot of the worthiest of superfluous veterans. Through an act of very questionable morality, induced by motives not certainly pure, leading to a death, the most disgraceful in it char acter which men inflict upon convicted criminals, he climbed by the gallows tree into the loftiest circle of England's historical worthies, and Recured for the dust of the spy, left by his executioners beneath a rude cairn on the wild west bank of the Hudson, a place and name among that of the sages and heroes of Westminster Abbey.

The publication of these Essays proves that their author has passed the point in his career when his works were required to distinguish his name, to that more agreeable and profitable stage when his name is sufficient to give currency to his works.

Also— AFTER THE ICEBERGS, WITH A PAINTER. By Rev. bouts I W. -NOBLE. I A voyage of a few weeks during the snmmer : months among the icebergs oil'the northern coast S of this Continent, gave rise to this readable volume. The painter—Church—after having enriched his portfolio with studies of South American scenery, the fruits of which he gave to the world in li is fa mous picture of "the.lleart of the Andes," and with sketches of scenery within the limits of tlie United States which furnished hi in materiel for his "Nia gara" and "Twilight in the Wilderness," bethought himself of a novel Held for the c-xerci3e of his ex traordinary skill .as a colorist.- He determined upon a visit to the icebergs,which came floating down from the Arctic ocean to the bleak cast of Labrador and Newfoundland, and finally melt away under the warmth of the summer sun and of the waters of the Gulf stream. Mr. Noble accompanied the painter, and what he has discovered, Church has illustrated in the book be fore us. The iacidcuts of euc'i a voyage are not many, but Mr. Noble has contrived to make the most of them. His account of the simple mode of life of the Labrador fishermen, of their brief sum mer of ninety days,"of the wonderful beauty of the mosses, the fragrance of the flowers and of the miniature pine forests, ranging from six inches to three feet in height, over which lie strode in his rambles on shore, will not be found the least in* teresting portion of the volume.

The claim? which THE DAILY EXCHANGE makes upon the attention of the mercantile and business community are simply lased upon tho>e principles of mutual U-nefit which ev*.ry intelligent m' can understand, for they are such as underlie success in all industrial and commercial enterprises. If it tan be thoan that THE EXCHANGE is an ftrimirable medium for advertising, and that in point of circulation it will Dot only hear comparison with that of any other commercial paper in this city, but that this c rcula tion is diffused over a wider area, its merits as a means of direct communication with the mer-hints of other States will doubtless elicit tint att ration which shrewd and saga cious men are accustomed to give t matters that concern their individual interests. What, then, are the facts? We lied not refer to the large city circulation of THE EX CHANGE, For that speaks for itself. Its success in this rc- is, in point of time, without a parallel. What we propose is to make a frank sta'ement of it 3 country circula tion, because the larger proportion of the trade of this city is derived from the interior. Ihe extent which that circu- I lation has reached may be gathered from the following par ticulars, which give the States to which it is sent,and the number of post othees at whi h it is received and distribut ed. A careful collation of our mail boobs shows that THE EXCHANGE is regularly mailed to six hundred and twelve V'>*t offices, scattered through the various States and Terri tories of the (Jnion, and that the great bulk of this country circulation is in those States upon which the merchants cf Baltimore most chiefly rely for the increase and perpetu:;- ! tion of their Hade. In MARYLAND alone THE KX- I CHANG E is mai leu to two hundred andjifty-tiao jtostt-njjiees, which is a larger circulation iu the counlies of our own State than is enjoyed by any other commercial paper in this city.
