the Cherokee Nation,
The following is the proclamation in relation
to the affairs pending among the people of the
several Stntcs
|, John Ross, Principal Chief, hereby issue
this, my proclamation, to the people of the
Cherokee Nation reminding them of tine obliga-
tons arising under their treaties with the United
States, aud urging them to the faithful observ-
nnce of said treaties, md peace aud friendship
toward the people of all the States. The better
to attain these important ends, earnestly i'm
press on all my fellow citizens the propriety of
attending to their ordinary avocatiOns and to
abstain from all political discussions of the events
TRANSPORTING in the States and from partizan de-
mouslratons in regard 10 the same They should
not be alarmed with false reports thrown iuto
circulation by designing men, aud cultivate
harmony among themselves, and observe good
faith aud strict neutrality between the States
threatened with civil war. With these means
alone, can the Cherokee people hope to maintain
their own rights unimpaired, and to have their
own soil aud firesides spared from the hateful
effects of devastating war. There has not been
a declaration of war between the opposing par
ties, and the conflict may yet be avoided with
compromise or peacsablo separation. The
peculiar circumstances of that condition, admon-
ish the Cherokees to the exercise of prudence in
regard TO II state of affairs, to the existence Of
which they have in no way contributed, and
they should avoid the performance Of any net,
or the adoption of any policy calculated to de-
stroy or endanger their territorial and civil
rights. With an honest adherence to this course
they can give no just cause for aggression or in-
vason, nor any pretence for making their coun-
try the scene Of military expressions, and will
be in a situation to claim all their rights in the
final adjustment that will take place between
the several States For these reasons | earnest-
ly urge on the Cherokee people the importance
of non-uterference with the people of the States,
and the observance of answering neutrality
between them Trusting that Col will not only
keep from our own borders that desolation of
war, but that lie will, in His infinite mercy and
honor stay its ravageB among the brotherhood
Of the States.
Given under my hand, at the Executive Office,
ut Park Hill this 9Th day of May, 1861.

A Startling Disclosure.

We take the following from the Baltimore
Clipper Of Saturday
The efforts of the secessonists to get up I'M

day only partially succeeded and by shutdown it
had entirely subsidized. The night was quiet,
more than usually no, and yesterday not the
slightest excitement was manifested. The feel
ing in the city is one Of greater security than
heretofore, and u disposition generally TO approve
and endorse the vigorous measures OF General
Banks
A STARTLING DISCLOSURE.
Information was conveyed to Colonel Keny in
the morning that there was concealed in the old
City Hall, (the former headquarters of Marshal
Kane, n vast quantity of war material intended
for the seeessionisls in this city. Col Kenly
acting upon the information received, ordered
number of detailed policemen to search the
building. The first place searched was in the
rear Of the city telegraph office, and used Us n
lumber and coal room. Upon removing the coal
upwards of $4,000 rounds of Minnie cartridges
were found.
This disclosure induced the police to make
farther explorations, and the result was that in
Il back room false floor had been laid under
which over seven hundred muskets and ',IIall's"
patent rifles were found. In q room at the ex-
IRENE end of the building FOUNDER field
piece with all the requisites for warfare was
also found. Continuing the search, the police
stumbled over a quantity of iron balls, ranging
in size from the musket calibre up to twenty
FOUNDER. This collection was stored away in a
dark corner of the woodsbed.
After thoroughly examining the lower portion
of the building the police (who by this time We're
looked upon as sappers and miners,) assembled
to the upper portion Of the building and after
peering into dark holes and recesses came across
upwards of cart load of canister shot At
first the police were Of the opinion that the tin
cans contained Theoretically sealed provisions,
but when they ratified the tin, bullets was The
echo, which, in measure did convince the
police that the did contain sealed provisions
After q search of three hours, the police be
came convinced that the secession arsenal had
been thoroughly examined, end that no moro
contraband articles were to DO found They
however conceived IN idea tina. something was
to be made by visiting the Central police station,
corner Of Holiday aud Saratoga streets. Their
visit was rewarded by the finding of six pound
field piece and several ship cannon, all of which
was placed in charge of the Provost Marshal.
Upon the news relative to the discovery of the
above war material being made publi', several
friends Of Marshal Kane packed up their buds
aud quilted the city, fearful that General Il .nks
would send them an invitation to take tea with
him sometime during the week.
