Correspondence of the Press.
Letter from the Maine 23d.
Edward’s Ferry, Md., Jan. 4,1863.
Dear Press:—Nothing of particular im
portance has transpired within the limits of
this command since our unceremonious leave- I
taking of Offutt's Cross Roads two weeks ago.
The 23d has, however, changed its headquar
ters from Mnddy Branch to this place, about
10 miles, aud Co. B now occupies the spot
made vacant by said change, at Muddy Branch :
Co. G, Capt. Lamb, is at Seneca, Lock 23.
Companies D and I are at Great Falls; all the
rest are here at hea dquarters.
The sanitary condition of the regiment is
rapidly improving. During the last two weeks
we have lost four, viz: Barton A. Field of
Lewiston, Co. A, Dec. 23d, of Typhoid fever;
Luther P. Barnard of Bridgton," Co. B, Dec.
24th, Typhoid fever; Forrester Brackett of
Bridgton, Co. B, Dec. 25th, Pneumonia; and
Edwin Q. Charles, of Lovell, Co. B, Jan. 3d,
Pneumonia following the measles. The three
first died in hospital at Offutt’s Cross Roads,
Mr.Charles died in hospital here.
There are various rumors afloat in camp
which cause apprehensions of a rebel raid in
this vicinity. Unless, however, the rebels
come in good force, they will meet with no
slight rebuff in their persistent endeavors to
woo “my Marylnnd’’ to their infernal coalition.
There is here a brigade of four regiments of
infantry, a battalion of cavalry consisting of
three companies of “Scott’s SHJU,’’ and an effec
tive, well drilled battery of light artillery.
Tlie brigade lias headquarters at Poolesville,
five miles distant. The 23d is only half a
mile from the river.
There is much evidence of a strong seces
sion sympathy among the residents ol Pooles
ville and vicinity. There are at this time, ma
ny Marylanders from this section in the rebel
army. The noted cavalry chief, Capt White,
formerly lived here, and it was a port ion of his
force, whicli a few weeks ago, made a dash
over here, and captured a squad of Scott’s
cavalry, killed the brave Sergt. Stiles, and
committed sundry depredations upon prop
erty.
Our several places of encampment before
coming up here, have been in what is said to
be tlie poorest portion of the state, compara
tively barren aud unproductive, though show
ing occasionally, signs of enterprise, aud at
tempts at improvement. The general appear
ance of things, however, gave over-sum for
frequent disparaging remarks on the part of
the soldiers, and some of the officers, like this,
“Well, I haven’t seen anything round here
worth fighting very hard for.” But, since
coming here, the feeling and opinion are chan
ged, and I hear numerous expressions of ad
miration of the “maguifleent farms,” “splendid
dwellings,” etc., about Poolesville, and all over
this region. It is, indeed, one of the love
liest sceues I ever witnessed, to stand on an
elevation, and view for miles the panorama of
fields, woods, mountains and river. Even now,
during the first days of January, a season
which to us Northerners is suggestive only of
cold feet, frost-bitten noses and deep snows,
we eqjoy such fine weather, and behold so ma
ny bean ties in nature that one finds it a succes
sion of delights to take a trip on the canal
boat ulong tire banks of the Potomac. Com
ing from below yesterday, I found it very
pleasant lying on the cabin deck in the warm
sunlight, without more than my overcoat
around me. The river is alive with wild ducks
swimming and flying in every direction, and
so tame, that one can almost catch them with
the band Our pickets complain sorely Ire
cause they are Interdicted from shooting any
game. Firing, except at targets when dis
charging the pieces a"er being on guard duty,
Is prohibited.
Lookiug at the country about here as it is,
and comparing its present conditi'eu witli that
of Virginia, only a few miles across the river,
one caunot help congratulating the people of
this State upon their rescue by tire Govern
ment from the jaws of secession. But, alter
ail, when we feel that eveu yet these murder
ous jaws are yawning to engulf Maryland, and
that the citizens an; so infatuated with the
sophistries and falsehoods by which the arch
traitors attempt to j ustify the rebellion, that
they would, many of them, welcome with open
arms the triumphant entrance of King Jell's
army into their borders, it is with but little
heart that we offer our congratulations.
Secession is often considered as attributable
to the doctrines iuculcated in the Southern
mind by John C. Calhoun, no farther back
than thirty years ago. But whoever reads
carefully the record of the struggle which the
advocates of free government had with the
champions of slavery in the constitutional
convention, and the numerous writings of Jef
ferson and Madison relating to that subject,
hatred ol popular freedom had then grown to
an alarming extent in the minds of the South
ern aristocrats, which is now nothing less than
a tornado of madness and destroying passion.
The opposition which distinguished members
from the South offered to the union of I lie
confederacy alter the Revolution, except with
the most solemn and erprexne<i guarantees to
the slave power, In the Constitution, nearly
prevented any successful formation of a Union
at all.
But why do we so often bring up these long
gone by incidents, and, breaking over the
boundary of the present, search for facts of an
cient date to illustrate or explain circumstan
ce* of to-day ? Because the patriot, contem
plating the deplorable state of the nntiou,
quaking from center to circumference with
warlike and deadly passion, asks himself wheth
er the cause is to be found in events ol recent
date, or of the far [last. The slaveholders uni
versally attribute the rebellion, not merely to
the abolitiou excitement in the North, hut to
the determination to establish forever a gov
ernment of absolute despot ism ; a government
whose corner stone i« the blood, soul, and sin
ew of a man—not the representative of a dis
tiuct race, as some very plausibly claim, but a
race utilise any other ever before existing,
whose life-blood, whose love of country, earth
ly interests, and eternal hopes are the same
j with the oppressors.
A slaveholder told me the other day that
, “the history of the world tells of no nation
j wherein two distinct races lived together for
| a length of time peaceably. One race,” he
1 said, “must always be in subjection to the oth
j er.” I did not deign to controvert this asser
tion, Imt suggested that the application of his
I cherished theory to the existing relations be
| tween the free and slave population of the
; .South, are hardly consistent with facts, as the
“distinction” of blood or race noticeable in
l the slave population, was generally on the side
ot the white race. The theories which the ad
vocates of slavery eliminate from Scripture,
i lrom history, and the assumed superiority of
! one race to another, do not even stand the
' test of farts, such a« can tie produced by thou
! sands in connection with slavery in the United
i States.
The mass of those who compose the Union
army arc daily witnessing tile effects of the
j system which is blighting with its accursed
j breath the lairest portion of the creation; and
| they cannot hut l>e thoroughly impressed with
a sense of the titter inconsistency of fighting
for the Union, and trying to save, at the same
time, such a rotten ami offensive system as ne
gro slavery.
Sometimes you hear an individual—he may
lie one wtio professes to settle the whole mat
ter with one essential thrust at the abolition
ists. or he may lie an otliecr, striped ami strap
pedand pompous; you hear such an one de
scanting upon tile rebellion ami its causes, the
probable result, Ac., to the country; you un
ostentatiously enter into the conversationgiml
inadvertently, though in keeping with the ar
gument. you propose the freedom of the slaves j
in the South, in order to crush the rebellion. |
Presently your dogmatical friend or the one I
with the trappings on, appears offended; you
persevere in the attempt to establish your
premise, when you are cut short with the ster
eotyped fling at the d—d abolitionists, or tliat
formidable and conclusive argument ( ?) so of
ten heard. “I)-n a nigger any how!”
It is unpopular with a class. I find, to be an
abolitionist, I suppose because it implies a love
of humanity, ami a desire to see universal jus- |
tice triumph over oppression ami wrong. It j
is considered by some persons to be no ciedit :
to a man's head or heart to feel any sympathy
with the downtrodden who are continually
before him in their poverty and degradation.
So he it. Let those persons reflect that it is
not wise to set at naught the counsels ofexpe
rience, nor the invariable lessons which histo- j
ry teaches; and though the wicked and the
oppressor, may flourish lor a season, and “lord
it" over the weak with a high hand, yet the
day of restitution will surely come. The bond
man and all those who suffer wrong, will lie
avenged, and restored to the dignity and rights
of manhood. Scbai.tebx.
