Every day brings something to light serving to
prove the great importance 10 the Union cause
OF the late wholesale State arrests In Maryland
II Is certain beyond question that plan had been
arranged for the adoption Of secession ordinance
by the traitor Legsl ture Of the State on the day
after the session commenced, and the simulta-
neous transfer Of Johnssns army over to the north
bank Of the Potomac, with rising Of Maryland
secessionists In arms throughout the State where
ever there might not be Union troops actually
present. How seriously the execution of the con-
spiracy would have added to the complications
OF the situation, can easily be imagined by the
loyal public. The act Of the Government in sum-
marily and unexpectedly defeating the Maryland
portion OF the sch-me, defeated the balance also
as Johnson did not dare to attempt to cross the
river without the backing of the Maryland seces-
sionists In arms under their leaders; of whom the
latter were deprived by the arrests According
to papers secured when the arrests were made the
actual force of the enemy under Beauregard and
johnson on the day the scheme was to have been
attempted, was 81, 900 effective men.

ANOTHER SEIZURE OF ARMS, AND CT A LATE

ANOTHER SEIZURE OF ARMS, AND CT LATE
SECESSION SOLDIER.
On Monday morning last Lieut.. Wilson, Of
4th Cavalry, with detachment of thirty troopers,
were dispatched by Provost Marshal Gen. Porter
to the neigh borhood of Unity, in Montgomery
county, Nd q point about twenty five miles from
here, TO recover arms known to be in the posses
sion of certain rampant secessionists in that quar-
ter. Arriving at night, after resting the horses,
Lieut.. Wilson proceeded to make the seizures In
the small hours Of Yesterday morning. Thus he
visited twenty houses, and SECURED In each COM
pete set Of cavalry arms, saber, pistols, dc. The
parties from whom they were taken were men,
bers Of the former volunteer cavalry com pany Of
a Captain Owens. The arms In the possession Of
toe Union members Of 10 were not touched. Ere
Lieut.. Wilson was through with his work the
secessIonists In the vicinity all got wind Of his
operations aud fed into the woods in great con-
sternation. Besides the arms, he brought back
with him an indi vidual named Charles A. w orth.
ington, who had returned to his home there after
having terved tour Of duty in the traitor army
in Virginia. He is likely to have hard time OF
Of 1t, we fancy.
THE REVIEW YESTERDAY.
The event Of yesterday was the review of por.
tion Of the cavalry and artillery attached to the
army of the Potomac, at 4 O'Clock, at about mile
beyond the Capitol, the best location that could
be selected in the vicinity. There were five regi
ments Of cavalry, under command Of Gen. Stone
man. chief Of cavalry, and eight batteries, consist
ing Of forty-eig ht pieces, under command Of Gen.
Barry, chief Of artillery.
The review was witnessed by the President, the
heads Of the Departments, foreign ministers and
other distinguished personages, together with ar
immense crowd Of spectators. Gen. Mcclellan
and staff appeared In full uniform, accompanied
by nearly all the field and staff attached to the
army Of the Potomac. The artillery red the sa
lutte usual on such occasions. There were two
full mounted bands Of music.
The artillery display was fine. As respects the
cavalry (volunteer at least) the parade was salts
factory, rather as indicating what this branch Of
the service may come to be six months or a veal
hence than as showing the force to be much more
now than good material, (horses and men, to be
worked up into what may legitimately be termed

A short time before the expiration of
the late Administration, Major Delafeld
resigned his post as conmandant at West

before the latter had assumed bis posi-

West Point in the hands of the Secession
lists, apd at the same time, through the

movement was to be made for separating
the city from the State. The confusion
that would follow, it was hoped, would
prove highly advantageous to the traitors.
Major Delafeld was telegraphod immedi-
