THE STU ALTON.
The most important events that have occurred
since our last have been the arrest of Marshal
Kane, of Baltimore, by General Banks, and the
proclamation and establishing of virtual martial
Law in that city. Marshal Kane held an official
interview with the General few days since at
fert McHenry, and expressed, in what may be
thought somewhat Of q hypocritical manner, Q
de-sre hat the General would not disturb the
peace Of the city by any undue military action.
He sRudEd also to the fact that Colonel Smith had
destroyed the likenesses Of Jeg. Davis that were
for sole by the little pedlars, and asserted that the
Cosorei's action had nearly caused riot. The
General replied in language firm but conciliatory,
and the Marshal left the Fort
After the interview, from facts in possession
OF the government and General Banks, it be-
came necessary to arrest Marshal Kane before
battle should take place before Washington, as
VIII be perceived by reference to our Washington
dispatches. The promptitude with which the ar
rest, and the establishment of Provost Marshal
titles Gen. Banks to great praise, especially as
Kane, being the head of Q formidable body of
police, mostly rebels, was IN possession Of great
power. The character of the men under his charge
may be easily understood by the fact that three
hundred and sixty out of the four hundred ct
once resigned, showing plainly that law and order
were not the intention of the keepers of the public
peace. At Q meeting of the Police Board, to con-
suit upon and consider the actions of the military
authorities, resolutions passed protesting in
the strongest terms against the course pursued by
General Banks. The most active protestant was
George NJ. Brown, the Mayor of the city, and the
man who headed the Sixth Massachusetts regi-
their march through Baltimore. Authority was
given to the poice to refuse to act under the
direction Of the Provost Marshal, and new body
of police was at once organized by him. The
Provost Marshals name is John II. Kenly,
Colonel Of the First regiment of Maryland
Union Volunteers, and hs at the time of writing
had tie full municipal control of the city.
Al md ght everything was reported quiet,
Tho Secretary of the Treasury is busily engaged
rropa,ing bis repor. for the next Congress. Plans
ere proposed therein for the raising of money to
carry On the war; The amount to be asked for
WI nor exceed two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, and ii Is believed now that sum can be re-
dnced twenty-five millions.
Er. Co!iax has been urging upon the govern
ment tie policy of sending the Texan troops now
located at Governor S Island, to California and
other places in that direction, thereby putting
them upcn active service without causing them
to break their parole This action would release
the troops stationed in those parts of the country
who might be actively used by the government
In the place Of the Texans.
Several regiments OF General Pattersons com

Three regiments OF Kew Jersey three year yolun-

Governor Olden, and numbered 3 Geo strong.
The progress Of the Union forces through Mis-

can obtain, to be favorable to ihe government and
disastrous 80 the Jackson rebels.
The government is DESTROYS of affording to loyal
citizens of the United States all the protection and
privileges they are entitled to- notwithstanding
that certain parts Of those States may have de-

Beeans the postal privileges recently taken from
that State, and letters will therefore be sent TO
them via Cincinnati.
The notice placed yesterday outside General
Mansfe!d's quarters in Washington, announcing
that further passes would be granted to persons
wishing to visit Virginia, has in the fact something
significant Of approaching decisive action. This is
corroborated by the orders for several regiments
to cross the river during the night
THE NEWS.
The State of Missouri is now entirely without a
