DEAR FRIEND lIMDRETM:-I don't

startling to communicate, in fact
believe You rather have the advantage
of us here in regard to news, for your
paper frequently posts me up in mat
tcrs that have transpired in this
vicinity.
see that st. Charles is doing her
duty in supporting the war, but l
suppose there are black sheep in most
every flock, as it would seem there
are one or two in ST. Charles City.
There is something that will drive all
that sort of stuff out of a man. The
remedy has been tried and proved to
be just the thing
There are seven Regiments, in and
around Boston, ready to go to the
war, and are actually spelling for a
fight but Gov. Andrew will not let
them go until they are fully equipped ;
and it is pretty slow job, for there
arc no less than seven States that are
now having their equipm ents made in
Massachusetts,. In addition to this,
Gov. Andrew has been induced to
supply Western Virginia with rihed
guns when our own soldiers were
actually waiting for them.
Yours, l.. i.

Baltimore.

Gen. Banks is making things sizzle
in Baltimore. Among his more impor-
tant acts is the arrest of Marshal
X ane. He was taken about three
o'clock in the morning at his own
house and safely secured in Fort Nc
Henry. The evidences of treason
against him are overwhelming--in-
deed, he appears to have been at the
head Of the rebellion in Baltimore.
OF the 400 of Marshal kane's Police
$50 have resigned. The new police
have found at the eastern station
house several drums belonging to
the Massachusetts Regiment, which,
with other articles, were taken from
their baggage car the day of the riot.
The U. S. Deputy Marshal has insti-
tuted searches for arms in private
dwellings,. A lot was seized in a
lager beer saloon. Large numbers of
arms are found sccrctcd in various
places in Baltimore. In searching
the Marshal's Office a large quanti-
ty of arms and ammunition have been
found secreted in the cellar in the
walls beneath the floor &c. A case
of valuable pistols, over eight hun
dred rifles, twenty-five of which were
mimic, were found /; also several sup
posed to have belonged to Massachu-
sets soldiers, who were disarmed by
the mob on the 10Th of April. 100000
percussion caps, also 800 ball cart
ridges, and eco long mimic ball cart
ridges, and numerous other warlike
articles aud steam gun were found.
The search is still progressing and it
is supposed that a considerable num-
Der of arms will be found secretcd at
the various recruiting stations.
Among the articles found at Marshal
Kane's office was l2-pound cannon
ball, bearing the inscription From
Fort Sumpter to Marshal Kane"
All the bar-rooms arc ordered to be
closed by Provost Marshal Henley.
Gen. Banks discovered a plan to
destroy the railroad between Wash
ington and Baltimore, and his course
is highly approved of by the Govern
mcnt. The rebels from Baltimore in
tended issuing proclamation an
nouncing the defeat of the Fedcrals
and the capture of Washington and
all the officials, then tearing up the
railroads aud cutting the telegraph
wires and produce a panic in favor
of the Southern Confederacy. The
city is now quiet. Six regiments
passed through on the Goth. Several
families have packed up ready to
leave the city in expectation of Gene
raj Banks proclaiming martial law.
Some have fed precipitately for fear
of being ruled by those they have no
confidence in.
Marshal X ane writes to his wife
that he is well treated and as comfort
able as circumstances will admit.

The National lntelIigencer says, the
New York Seventh Regiment, Of elev-
en- hundred men, was cncamped on
the beautiful grounds Of Mr.. Stone,
on the borders of the city, and such
was the strict regard for propriety
observed by the whole corps, that not
even a flower was pulled or fence
rail destroyed by them during the
whole time of their stay. The same
gentlemanly conduct, we have heard,
has distinguished the other regiments
quartered in and around the city, of
which the Rhode Island regiment has
been particularly named.
