What are men compared to tie "great interests before us 'lhe interests or Maryland and our dear country at large must be promoted by the destruction of slavery. True it is that the war cannot cease nor the restoration of the Union be effected until slavery is wiped from the land." The Baltimore American, of the 3d in speaking on the snbject says: Although Maryland Devcr pot fairly into Ttebel-" Ton, yet sh isnteessari cluiied in the process of rocoLstruciion.

Slavery must down So we cnll tpen you all, in the Lame of ieedom, Close up Close up BEAUTY AND TIIE BEAST." lie who hereafter, in the pleasant times of peace, undertakes to write the history of the Southern Rebellion, will be compelled to notice many cases in which ferocious threata made by the Iiabels were never carried out. He w-ill narrate the circumstanced connected with the hanging of Mcmfoed, in New Orleans, and the bloodthirsty proclamation of Jkff. Davis, declaring that for that act not only "Beast Butler," but every commissioned officer tinder his command should be hun as soon as captured. He will tell that many of the latter were so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of the traitors, and he will note the fact that the truculent threats against them were never put in execution.

He will relate the melancholy circumstances attending the fatal drawiug by lot in Libby Prison, November 10, 18C1, when Colonel Cobcorax and thirteen other officers were ordered to be hung. He will record the fact that none of these hostcges were hurt, and that all of them were subsequently exchanged. He will write the painful story of Captain H. W. Sawyer and Captain Jonx two Union officers, captives at Richmond, who on the 6th of July, 1863, were condemned to be shot, to avenge the manes of two Rebel spies, who were caught recruiting within the Federal lines, and condemned to death by a court-martial.

The prompt action of the United States Government, in condemning General W. Fitzhugh Lee and Captain Winder, to be held as hostages for the imperiled officers at Richmond, put an end to that threatened barbarity, and in due time Sawteb and Flyxx were released from their peril. lart above all, be will relate the backing and filling of the Rebel potentates, in relation to the same Major-General Benjamin F. Butler, whom they had malignantly, for months together, denounced as a monster, with whom no honorable Rebel could hold intercourse. He will repeat the hisrh threats of the Rebel authorities against this energetic officer.

He will rehearse their declarations that they would not recognize him as a Commiseioner of Exchange, and he will tell how they ordered the United States Govern ment to choose for the execution of that trust some officer less offensive to them. Yet, after all their domineering conduct, the story will be told how Bctler persevered, and how exchanges were made with him in tpite of the denunciations against him, until the terms of the cartel seemed to be restored, and all the boisterous proclamations and objurgations of the past were calmed down to zephyr breezes of dislike. He will then state that the chief Rebel agent for exchange, Colonel Ocld, whose tone of communication was at one time extremely ofiensive, became as mild mannered as a gentleman in a drawing room, and how on the 80th of March, A. 1S64, hia scruples had become so far'weakeaed that he was willing to trust his life and liberty to the honor of this "Beast," who for many months had been represented as a disreputable scoundrel, by whom the most sacred promises were as little regarded as dicers' oaths." The telegraph gives tjs the full particulars of this memorable visit. Colonel Ocli is now at Fortress Monroe, under protection of a flag of truce.

He comes with bag and baggage, prepared for a long stay, bringing with him his books, papers and documents, and fully prepared, it is to be presumed, to settle this question of the exchange of prisoners, as justice and humanity requires that it should be arranged. This is a remarkable triumph for General Bcr-eek, and it proves that "nothing is impossible to him that wills." If there had been any weakness in Bctler; if he had shown any disposition to back down in consequence of the formidable opposition against treating with him had the Government, lor the sake of humanity, and out of legard to the safety of the poor fellows incarcerated in Libby and Castle Thunder, and starving at Belle refused to support his authority, the result would have been a Rebel trium-m, which would have seemed to them of as much importance as a successful battle. It would have seemed to have justified to the world their abnse of this useful offcer. would have been a strong argument to establish the position that the Federal Government was dissatisfied with him, authorizing the inference that the accusations against him were well founded. But firmness has succeeded, the Rebels give way, and Ocld, "the Beauty," has come to Fortress Monroe to negotiate with Butler, "the Beast." TIIE GREAT CENTRAL FAIU.

The people are becoming thoroughly aroused to the great importance of the Sanitary Fair which is to be held in this city on the first week in June, But two months are left to work in; but what an amount of work can be done in those two months for such an object! From every quarter the intelligence comes that the people are working- working with a will that shows that their offerings will be the heartfelt, spontaneous outpourings of the people of the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. This is an altar to which all the people can come with the rich gifts of a loyal heart. In every branch of business and among all professions and classes of industry the good work is speaking with an electric influence. The dry goods merchants have taken the matter in hand, and they will do something noble for the cause. The lumber merchants are interesting themselves to secure donations for the erection of a bui ding in Logan Square, if that should be the place selected.

In every house hold, the Great Central Fair has its earnest advo cates and children and adults eagerly discuss tne qntion 05 to what they can contribute to the i as me tnree etates oi i cmiBy irum, ware and New Jersey are equally interested in the matter, no doubt our railroad companies will -omo up to the work in the most liberal manner by tfving tha uconle at a distance every oppor V3 AT Corcr. eveninir. nri "'k iriUiB lilt, c. rie to see a undoubted! k. ualcJC, iias ever of .1.

CBRsmDT Street Theatre. Nothwtthstanding the bad weather, Mrs. Rush had a good house to witness her rendition of Fanekon, last Saturday afternoon. 8he labored under several disadvantages, not the least prominent of which was the inefficient manner, with one exception, In which she was supported. She is a lady of expressive and regular features, a well modulated voice, and a fine figure.

As an elocutionist she is excellent, and speaks with a distinctness which Is leally refreshing in these days of so much mumbling on the stage. As an actress Mrs. Rrsn, we think, lacks power, and the thoroughly Identifying herself wltli the character which she portrays. We hope to see her in this character asain under more favoiable circumstances. Miss Ward as "Old Kadette" was excellent.

In ht-r rendition'-of "Dora Sunnyside and "Old Fadette" she has proved ner-seii on actress of threat versatility. To-night the Ocfo-roM, than which no drama is at present or more political interest, will be presented. Una evening with this will give to the spectator a better idea of slavery, its vices and virtues, if it ever had any, than he could gain in a year's reading. The scenery, music, and tne able rendition of all the characteis combine to make the oott the best sensational play of the season. We have before omitted to mention Mr.

Pearson's "Wah-notee." While we do not consider this a character worthy of his talents. It is evident that Mr. Pearson Invests the '-red skin" with a certain prominence in the drama. His costume Is perfect and telliug. one should lail to see the Vcioroon.

A convention is to be elected which -nil have in fcharge the great question of tLe emancipation of Vhe slaves, and range that State in line with the rosperom free Srates of the nation.

Au important txurespoudence has taken place between General Wallace, commanding the Kiudle Department, and Governor Bbadfosd, of Maryland, relative to the qualification of delegates, from which it appears tuat persons disloyal to the Government are candidates for election to the Convention.
