One of our reportorial corps, who spent the
whole Of yesterday in Baltimore, informs us
that the election passed off with remarkable
quiet, there being no disturbance of note at
any of the polls. The proclamation Of Major
General Dix was vigorously enforced, and sew
eral hundred persons were arrested and taken
to the various lock.ups, during the day, for
attempting to set 1t at defiance. Most of these
will probably be released to-day, but some of
them will probably be provided with comf'rt.
able quarters at Fort McHenry.

The scene at the Office of Justice Hiss, on
South street, Central station,) where most Of
description. Here were fathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and &C.
quaintances, all anxious to have their friends
released from custody, and making all sorts
Of promises for their future good behavior
but with but little avail as the authoritie,
seemed rather to d-sire to hold on to the
wrong. doers themselves, thus making sure Of
their conducting themselves properly.
Very little difficulty was had in making the
arrests, the parties generally accompanying
the officers very quietly. Occasionally, how
ever, one Of them would become obstreporous
and call for his friends to come to his rescue
: but his friends, as a general thing, were no
| wanting in discretion, and preferred to lie
the thing take its own course.
The general quiet which reigned throughou
the city was fully shared by the eighth ward
well known in times past as the scene of maui
bloody riots within few years past. Yester
day, the ex.Know-N Nothing and the Irish Cath
olic joined hands in SUPPORT of the Union
ticket, which, at the lime our reporter left the
ward was ahead in every precinct
The Stars and Stripes waved from large
proportion of the private residences of the city
and also at nearly all the various voting places
while the hacks employed by the Union mer
to bring up tardy voters, and those who could
not venture to come through the rain, were il
many cases completely covered with flags. The
Star-Spangled Banner waved in all its glory
once more in Baltimore, and not a single en-
blem of secession was anywhere to be seen.
