BALTIMORE. Juso 29--P. NJ.
Since closing my letter yesterday The
excitement has materially subsided,
Quietudo aud good order are now pre-.
vailinga Ths5new order cf things which
bas placed our city measurably under
military rule, begins to work more smooth

subjugat;on by NO means crngenial 10 the
innate spirit Of Independence. There ap.
pears indeed an acqulescence in the max.
i'm. better bear the ills we have thSn
fly TO others VIC know not Of" There are
also those among us who approve the
Governments course, and SO doing ara
content TO abide, results. Whilst, howsv-
cr, all prefer untrammcIcl civil rule as
heretofore; yet i'll mistake not, prudence
will dictate a consistent policy which
may eyentuate for the common good -
A new set polce numbering about
four hundred, have been appointed by
Col. Kenly. Provost Marshal, and they
srs all on duty. We are thus saved from
having armed soldiery as senrincls. or
any apparent military surveillance. Few.
or troops, indeed, have been within the
city since Marshal Kane arrest than be :.
fore. A Stranger, uninformed, would not
know any extraordinary rule prevailed,
People pass and repass at all hours Of
the day and night, if properly deporling
themselves, unmolestei Martial law,
10 its entirety. cannot, therefore, be said
10 exist. ND -. j-fa
From what can observe. those Of our
citizens who previously we're inclined
toward Secessionism are now, il anything
more determined in their proclivities
Some, indeed. who on Monday were qua

themselves in favor ofthe South emphat
ically. They, Isuppose, feel their pride
somewhat humiliated. 8GJ .l7HIf 7.
Col or Marshal Kane is still in cuSto
dy at Fort MtHenry. His counsel have
made no effort to bring him out on {
writ of habeas corpus, and in the face o
that power being suspended in the. cast
OF Mr.. Merryman, who is now prisoner

Additional seizures OF arms, ammuni
tiOn, &c., secroted in our city, rs alleged
by Seressionists, have been made to-day
Strict search is being made for othe
similar supplies, supposed to be hidder
away in various parts of the city. TIL
Government seems determined upon Sc
curing all such weapons from the pos
session Of those suspected of unkndl
, feelings. No attempt has yet been mad
to molest the arms Of private citizens an
will not be unless it becomes an absolut
necessity. A good many, prominent a
