We have no property in this District except the Star, and a single lot of ground worth, ere the troubles commenced that long since rendered Wasbington city real estate utterly un- saleable ct any price, not more than a thousand dollars. What the value of a newspaper here can De now, we leave the Enquirer to judge. ‘Our ocurse throughout the whole of the troubles has been a straight-forward and consistent one. ‘We contended against secession, as involying sooner or later the positive destruction of every interest in the border siaveholding States worth Preserving, through the civil war !h which, itwas clear to us, it would result. How correct our an- ticlpation on that point was, the present condition vf Maryland, the District of Co!umbia, Virginia, and the entire North, tells most forcibly. We sincerely believed that the duty of earnestly and persistently striving to ward off the existing state of things was a patriotic one, and we see no reason now, when the whole available force of the non-slaveholding States is rapidly rushing dowa apen the borders of Maryland, to change the cur- rent of our labors—to cease to strive to prevent her from following the mad example of Virginia. We believe that if her Legisiature, calied to meet oa Friday next, maintain the status of their State {nm the Union, and instead of opposing, shall de- termine to facilitate the passage of troops through Maryland to save this city from the mad invasion preparing throughout the South, Virginia may yet be saved from the otherwise almost certain consequences of her act In coming forward to offer ber territory as the hateh-biock on which the war of Jefferson Davie and bis so called zov- erament shall be fought out We know weil that the President's purpese !n Drtuging a large and well-appointed army here, is, simply, by its presencé at this point in the current eritioal jancture, to be able to commang the peace in this Guarter—to make the work of wresting ‘Wasbiugton city from the Goverament of tie United States to plainly one of utter impossibility wita any means the disuntonists can commurd, es that they will st once reconsider that {utention, and take no further step likely to make the army of the Government to be drawn to this particular Seld of operations, a uundred thousand strong, rather th:2 thirty-tve thousand es so far designed Our labors, from first to last, have thus been to the sole eng of preventing the utter desolation by war,of Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Coiumbla; cud we shall continue them, if God Bives us strength ao to do, in the face of all the misrepresentations of the spirit that anima: us, which the mzdnrss of disunion is scattering far and wide, as in the case of the Enquirer's article on which we are now commenting So far as -‘kiesing the rod of Lincoln” {s con- eerned, we have to assure the Enquirer that ‘we have never laid eyes on him since we saw Bim riding upto be (nsugurated; nor have we fay political sympathy with him or his po- Ritieal party.

But we have not yet ‘been able to appresiate the propriety of auch a course; and feel a senate of safety in the arrange ments already made aud wow progressing for the defence of the Capital, should an effert be made to assail it. 2 In time of war, or impending hostilities, or in the movements of troops, history shows thet much evil results from unfounded rnmors, the ema. tions of fear. Hence, we would earnestly counsel the readers of the Star to first endeavor to ascer- tain the truth of current street rumors before they arecredited It becomes every oue, as fur cs pos- sible, to preserve acalm spirit—to assist in pro- ductay such a general state of mind, and to dis- countenance whatever may tend to encourage ex- oltement Tur Troops at ANNAPOLIS.— We now feel cer- tain that the delay in the appearance of the Sev- enth New York and Col.
