Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): article 1
n left to us but to prepare for war. (Cheers.) The first year in our history has been the most eventful in the annals of this Continent. A new Government has been established, and its machinery put in operation over an area exceeding 700,000 square miles. The great principles upon which we have been willing to hazard everything that is dear to man, have made conquests for us which could never have been achieved by the sword. Our Confederacy has grown from six to thirteen States, and Maryland, already united to us by hallowed memories and material interests, will, I believe, when able to speak with unsifted voice, connect her destiny with the South. (Great applause). Our people have rallied with unexampled unanimity to the support of the great principles of constitutional government, with firm resolve to perpetuate by arms the rights which they could not peacefully secure. A million of men, it is estimated, are now standing in hostile array, and waging war along a frontier of

Fort Donelson (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 1
ur enemy an immense advantage, and our General no doubt consider the present not the time to repeat disasters. The evacuation of Nashville under these circumstances has been regarded here for some days as an event consequent upon the full of Fort Donelson, which opened the Cumberland to the gunboats up to Nashville. Motives of humanity had also, no doubt, their influence in inducing the abandonment of a city nearly as large as Richmond, filled with women and children, who would have been of humanity, as well as prudence, to abandon a town under the circumstance, which our Generals had not the certain means to defend. That the loss of Nashville is mortifying no one will deny, but its fate was inevitable after the fall of Fort Donelson. It had no fortifications of consequence — no means of checking the operations of the enemy's gunboats — and resistance there would have been useless. The difficulties of the invasion will be multiplied as it proceeds, and there are yet glo

Suicide of a South Carolina Volunteer. --Thomas P Butler, private in Company "I," 7th South Carolina regiment, on detached service as clerk in the Commissary Department at Manassas, under Col. Thos. Fisher, from 6th July, 1861, to 6th February, 1861, arrived in Richmond last Wednesday and put up at the Columbian Hotel, at which establishment he remained until Friday night, when he put an end to his life by severing the jugular vein, in room No. 4 of that hotel, in which he was last seen alC., and aged about 50 years. Of commanding presence, he was also an accomplished gentleman and ripe scholar. The warm attachment subsisting between himself and those who knew him best, showed him worthy of all esteem. Persons acquainted with Col. Butler are under the impression that the rash act which hurried him to the grave was prompted by temporary insanity, produced by some unknown cause.

Nothing more was known of his acts until a Saturday morning, when blood was seen coming from under the door of room No. 4, when the look was forced, and the unfortunate man was found weltering in his gore — a newly-purchased bowie-knife lying by his side, indicating the manner of his death.

an inquest over the remains, the Coroner appointing the hour of 4 o'clock on Saturday evening as the time when the investigation should be commenced into the circumstances attending the unfortunate affair.

In the Mexican war he commanded a company of cavalry attached to the Palmetto regiment, of which his brother was Colonel, and who fell in battle. Deceased was an uncle of the gallant Preston S. Brooks, and we learn, a native of Edgefield District, S. C., and aged about 50 years. Of commanding presence, he was also an accomplished gentleman and ripe scholar.
