RELEASE or BALTIMORE PnS0gERa-yesterday,
In pursuance Of orders received from tho War De
partrnent, United States Marshal Murray went over
to Governors Island 10 release certain Baltimore
prisoners confined in Fort Columbus. Their nance
are William McKeewin, Benjamin +. McCauley,
John Wilkins, Patrick Cronan, james Campbell,
Alexander o Counor, Frederick SoeLkamp, Patrick
Couroy, Samuel Davidson, George Goswell Philip
Cassidy, and George Somers. On calOg the roll, it
y,s found thst Cronan HAD already been discharged
bv order Of Government. The order TO Marshal
Murray yesterday specified that the prisoners should
tnke the oath OF allegiance, the question being
put to each individually whether they were willing
10 prove themselves loyal men, all but siguiiied

the party. lie positively refused TO take the oath,
after the Marshal asked The question twice, aud al
the sane time set his lips aud knit his brows with
most malicious expression. Before the Marshal
could administer tho OATH tho prisoners asked what
provision bad been made TO forward them to Balt-
more stating that they were entirely without meals
Of their own. Ga being told that Government bad
,iyen Mr. Murray no further Instructions than TO
rocase them they requested that they might be Kept
in confinement until the Marshal could communicate
with the authorities in tho matter. The Marshal
back was hardly turned before Cassidy commenced
tanning come of the men with having expressed
willingness TO take the OATH and they viii pass
day or 40 more together, IL is not unlikely that he
may prevail on somo Of the waverng ones to refuse
their liberty ut the price offered. These prisoners
