ltimore. Last evening Rev. Dr. Sunderland delivered a discourse to the Seventh New York Regiment at the House Hall of the Capitol.--Its drift was "to persevere unto the end" --meaning, (as it is said by those who heard it,) that the Government should be maintained in its integrity, by force, if need be. He repeated some lines of the song of the Star-Spangled Banner, and the same were subsequently sung by the choir, which was improvised for the occasion. I hear from relatives of Col. May that his resignation is in accordance with an understanding that has existed for some months back. Corporals' guards of soldiers visited the houses of several persons yesterday who are suspected of entertaining secession views.--They had all left, however, for Alexandria, as have many others who fear arrest. Therefore there is no means of getting an intimation of what is going on in Virginia. It is not doubted, however, that steps are taking for the marching a large force, sooner or la

Habeas corpus case. --We copy the following from the Lynchburg Virginian, of yesterday morning, 5th: On yesterday a writ of habeas corpus was decided by Judge Marshall, in the Circuit Court of this city, which decides an important principle. John Hannibas, of Franklin, (not a native, however, we understand,) was brought before Judge Marshall on a writ of habeas corpus sued out on his petition. The facts of the case are these: John some time since joined a company of Cavalry, raised in the county of Franklin, with a view to active service in the present difficulties, of which Giles W. B. Hale is Captain. When the company marched to the rendezvous poor John was not forthcoming, though no fined and ordered to march. He was captured near this place a few days ago by a guard from his company, and held in custody with a view to being mustered into service, and he applied for this writ against his Captain, alleging that he would not be mustered into service without his consent

ht hundred voters have left Grayson, Collin, Cook, Young, Wise and Denton counties. Many of them have left settled farms and cultivated fields. The right sort of immigration from Kentucky and Tennessee can get these farms cheap, and will be welcomed with open arms. Never was there such a chance for bettering fortunes as is now offered to the people of these States. The country is the finest in the world. Thirty bushels of wheat to the acre is no unusual crop, and that all harvested in May. Fine water is abundant, so is timber, &c. Regarding the protection of that country, we are assured that the civilized Indians of the Creek, Cherokee and Choctaw nations have assured the Confederate Government that if one or two regiments of their men can be mustered into the service of the Government, they stand ready to furnish fifteen to twenty thousand volunteers to meet any inroad into their own territory or that of Texas, from the Northern armies. Northern Texas can furnish as ma

Horrible Infanticide and Suicide. --The Mobile Register of the 5th says: Last Sunday Wm. English, in a fit of insanity, went home and cut the throat of three of his children, and then killed himself in like manner. A fourth child was saved by a negro girl snatching it and running. No cause that we could learn was ascertained for his insanity. Mr. E. was a gentleman of wealth, highly esteemed, and one of the oldest and most, respected families of Monroe county, Ala.

The fire at Albany, N. Y. --The firing of the Boston Railroad Depot, at East Albany, on the 5th inst., has been noticed. A telegraphic dispatch says: So fierce was the conflagration that nothing could be saved. Five canal boats and steam dredges which were in the slip had no time to get afloat, and the persons in them barely escaped with their lives. The destruction of property embraces two large freight depots, the passenger depot, the ticket office, the elevator, fifty-four car loads of freight, eight car loads of live hogs, five canal boats and one valuable freight bridge. The long passenger bridge was partially saved; the canal boats were all loaded with grain. The destruction of property cannot be less than from $300,000 to $400,000. There are rumors that some lives were lost. About sixty men were in one building that burned so rapidly as to render escape very difficult. Mr. Fairchild, one of the superintendents of the freight department, who was endeavoring to

The Stay law in North Carolina. --The Wilmington Journal states, on the authority of a private letter from Raleigh, that the Supreme Court of North Carolina, on the 5th inst, decided the Stay Law of that State to be null and void, as being opposed alike to that prevision of the Constitution of the United and Confederate States, which says, that no State shall pass an ex post facto law, or a law impairing the obligations of contracts.

ough the accounts of the wounded conflict. There is no way of judging of McCulloch's loss, except from the fast already noticed — of the number of bodies discovered. The same writer gives an account of a fight at Athens, on the 5th of August, in which he claims that the number of "rebels" killed was twenty and as many more wounded. The Hessian loss is put down at three killed and eighteen wounded. A Federal correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Springfield, Mo., on the 5th inst., of Gen. Lyon's army, say: A panic occurred in Springfield on the afternoon of the 4th owing to the reception of intelligence that the rabble were approaching the two in advance of the Federal forces.-- About one-half the inhabitants fled to the country, and the remainder, with the battalion left in charge of the place, under Major Conenbold, prepared to make a vigorous defence. The pickets on all the roads leading into town, with one exception, concluding their position was not

Southern News. The Washington (N. C.) Dispatch publishes a graphic description of the bombardment and capture of Forts Clark and Hatteras, written by an officer on board the C. S. steamer Ellis. We cannot find room for it in this morning's paper. The writer makes the assertion that the invaders were guided on shore by a traitorous Methodist minister, named Taylor. The Wilmington Journal, of Saturday evening, says: A letter from Beaufort, dated the 5th, and received here this morning, conveys the information that a large war steamer was off that harbor for the last twenty-four hours. We trust that the people in that section will all be ready to receive them properly. There was a rumor this morning of a steamer having been seen off Camp Wyatt and Confederate Point last night. It was said that she had up a white flag. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this last information. The Newbern Progress, alluding to the recent stampede from that place, says:
