Some of the ov ners and oificers of the St.
Nicholas are strongly suspected of complicity in
a greater or less decree with the transfer of the
steamer to the dlsunlonlsts. and the incidentally
robbery of i >me of our fellow citizens who had
Ireljjtt on board of her.
We know Hoiltns well. He Is a pompous fal
low, who, wbllom. prided himself on being a
gentleman He is notoriously weak in the upper
story, however, which acconms tor the readiness
with which he hns adopted the theory of seces
sion; that it covers any amount of individual
scoundrellsm, that under ordinary circumstances
would justly subject tboa- indulging it to lasbes
with a rawhide at a petty larceny whipping post
On the whole, the trick of Hollins is on a par
in lack of principle with Van Dorn's In Tent,
and the late procNmat on of Beauregard from
Manaasas, In both of which lying lite poltroon*,
not lighting like aoldiers. was resorted to to win
temporary but evanescent advantages. We re
gard it a* belli" fortunate that the r?t. Nicholas
baa been in any manner tiken out of the trade
between Baltimore and St Mary's county, Md.,
for it la well known that she has been for montha
pa?t one of the maiu rhaonela through which
supplies contraband of war were furnished to the
traitors In Virginia, from Maryland.

While uone ar?- more jealous than the Star tor the
Liberty of the Press, we recognize already the
difference between that, and such license to aid

In these times, can bold no neutral position wltb
