marched into Baltimore at the dead &
hour of night, and going to the residence Of
Col. George P. Kane, Marshal Of the city of
Baltimore, awoke him from his bed, arrested
him, placed him in a close carriage, and car
ried him to Fort NSHspf4, where be was con-
fined as o prisoner. On their way to the
Fort the Hessians took the precaution to ar
rest all tue police officers they met with. to
prev nt them from giving an alarm. The
police officers were released after arriving at
the Fort, and allowed to go back. This high
handed outrage was committed because Mar.
shall Kane was suspected of entertaining Sc.
cession sentiments. Thenext morning when
the facts became known, there was the most
intense Indignation throughout the city, but
the citizens, being deprived of arms, arc at
tue mercy of Lincoln's minions. Gen. Banks
issued a proclamation appointing a Col. Ken
lev. a Union man. Provost Marshal. but the
Board of Police of the city held a meeting
on the same day, at which they passed reso-
lutlons strongly eondemnatnry of the course
pursued by the military authorities, ard dis
missed the entire police force of the city from
service, thus leaving everything in the hands
of the military. Poor Maryland This is
the result of the teachings of such Union
men as Henry Winter Davis and Gov. Hicks
and of such Union papers as the Baltimore
American and Clipper. Kentucky, too, will
find herself in the an predicament if she
h~esitates much lepss
P. S-Since the( aS1Es was put in type,
the papers bring us most revolving accounts
Of the tyranny Of Lincoln's troops in Balti-
more. Numbers of prominent and even old
men have been dragged from their beds at
midnight and hurried off to prison, and even
ladies have been grossly insulted who have
demonstrated with the officers to know why
and for what reasons their husbands and
fathers have thus been rudely and ignomin-
iously treated. Bat instead of subduing,
such treatment has excited to a still higher
pitch the indignation of the people of Bal
timore, and soon the streets Of that patriotic
city will be drenched in blood. There is lit
tie doubt but what Baltimore will be the scene
Of the most sangninary conflicts of this
strange and unnatural war.
ARKANSAS AID TO MIssoURL--The tele-
graphic dispatch mentioning a rumor that
aid would speedily recall Gov. Jackson from
Arkansas, was probably founded upon the
Glowing from the st, Louis News, of Sat
urday
\ gentlemen dire~~~a Fo t Smith, Ar
kansas, states that Ben Cullongh is there,
at the head of ten thousand troops, mostly
Cherokee Indians, all we'll armed and equip
ped, mounte on Mustang ponies, and that
the Rangers was o~nlysawaiting the proclama
ton of Governor Jackson to march into Mis-
souri,.
1t is further stated that Mccullough has
been in the locality mentioned for some time,
gathering his forces, and that his men are
well drilled.
GRAFTON, June 29.-There has been a Skin
mish near Cumberland. Thirteen Federal /
lists, Zouaves, abandoning their horses and
took to the hills, arriving in Cumberland
last night with two missing and one killed.
CoSDlrIoN OF MIssoURI.-It is pretty GER
tain that B. McCulloch is making his way to
Missouri to maintain the State Rights party
Of thatState. A letter from St. Louis, to a
Memphis, Tenness-A-b9asa-lated the 24st
June, gives the following gloomy view of
the State of affairs. McCulloch will not ar
i've too soon. We doubt not Tennessee will
come up to the rescue in good time. Ken
lucky, too, will be on hand
Things are hard here at present, the Hes
SLAMS having full sway. Why don't your
people send US some troops to help US to clean
them out? We have the disposition but not
the arms to do it. Large numbers of dead
Dutch are arriving here daily from South
Western Missouri, although the fact is denied.
1t is reported that Ben. McCulloch has been
cutting Gratz Browns regiment to pieces
somewhere on the South West branch Of the
Pacific railroad.
The State troops have had a fight with the
Hessians at Boonville-the Missourians to
the number of 500 making an attack on a
whole regiment of Dutch, and if they had not
been ordered to retiret | believe would have
killed every one Of tsssk l have not had a
pop at them yet, but sWastt to soon
A NEST OF TRAIroRs.-It appears that a
nest of traitors nave been discovered here by
means of a letter which was intercepted in
the possession of a woman who was making
her way to the North in the flag of trnce
boat, on Tuesday last. Another letter has
been brought out, equally as obnoxious as
the first, and the writer of it identified. 1t
was discovered while in pursuit ofthe author
of the f-st one, by mere accident. 1t affords
particulars which will DE of considerable i'm
p~ortance in throwing light on the operations
E OF a nest Of traitorous individuals who are
known to exist in the two cities-The nat
ter is under investigation before the Mayor
and may be passed over to the military au.
thorities, in which case we presume, the usu.
al fate will be meted out to those who are
proved to be traitor spies, as in this case.
Since the above was in type, we learn from
the Mayors Court, that c w Bryan has beer
arr ested, charged with holding correspondence
with, or giving intellig,n to the enemy anc
was on Saturday tug 80 to the military
authorities, to be VI 4ourt Martial
