The destruction Of the branch road from Annapolis 10
70 the Junction appears 70 have rendered the line
less FOR trans oltation for the yesterday from the
Junction told us Of e passing of column 1900 strong,
ncalng the New-Yorl Seventh, that point at noon,
! Hanked bv artillery. Tbs morning told that
a succeeding column of 1000 detected from the branch
rcad and Is supposed have taken the road by way
! Of Upper Marlborough All the county companies ep

The intelligence this morning, Of Feet o. dozen
transports OF ANNAPOLIS carrying some Ten thousand
more troops, has had very sedative effect upon The
feelings of the Secessonsts, well ar the further
news Of the concentration Of five thousand more opIo-
site Havre lie Grace, ready 10 embark on the transports
coming up the Susquehsnna. The re-opening too, OF
the line OF travel hence 10 Washington, THE morning,
at II o'clock mar had a reassuring effect.
Quite a raid has been carried on, in the last few
days. upon private property, by irresponsible parties
with arms in their hands, in impressing horses and
vehicles on the public road around town, pretendedly
for the public service. The Board OF Police has taken
tie matter in hand 70 remedy the wrongs done, and
prevent further violence. The mob spirit far
1uelod lat evening, that the artillery planted in the
streets was removed.
The arrival of Taylors Pony Express this morning
from lavre de Grace bringing New-YOrk papers
down 10 Tuesday morning put us in possession Of the
state ofeeng in the North, and never in our history
az people intelligence more eagerly sought for,
and received with more painful sensations. The Sun
tries 20 parry the effect by pouring ont it's walls Of
wrath upon the patriotic Democracy Of the North for
refusing to take sides with the Rebellion and declar
inc with such feryor for the Federal Union of the
fathers.
ia Federal army is sent into Maryland, let il not
come az enemies, but friends, 20 form poiatdoppu
for the ralying Of the loyal portion OF the community
and you may different state Of things from that
of last Friday. Unless such army is Or
dered at once into the limits Of Maryland, do
not see how it liz possible 10 prevent her seces-
zion, if even then, though there are those who
do not despair Of the people themselves. Let
| no feelings Of revenge animate the Federal forces
toward Baltimore The doings Of Fridays mob were
not the work the masses of our city The general
conviction is that the police sympathzed with the
break, but am not prepared for this conclusion 1
rather think the Commissioners did not appreciate the
dangers of the occasion. Certainly Mayor Brown did
the whole of his duty for the troops did fire Oh the
mob until the officer in command had bis sanction TO
defend themselves.
! TIE structures of THE TRIBUNE upon the course of
Gov. Hicks are heartily approved by the honest
of all parties here. The President set aside his own
party in this State under the solemn Of Gov
Hicks Winter Davis, and Others of that ilk that such
distribution of the Federal patronage took place
would enable them to rally the Anti-Admnistration
Unionlste in such force the Secessionsts
and carry the State at the next election And further
it was upon their representations that there would be
no danger in sending troops through Baltimore that
they were allowed 90 in such an unprepared cCndi
ton through our streets.
think the comments Of THE TRIBUNE upon the
gentlemen who visited the President, and procured
from him an order remand the troops from Jockeys
vile TO Harrisburg, hardly justified by the facts Of
the Gaze. They were governed by the sole desire to
prevent collision in the streets of Baltimore between
an excited population and a column Of troops unpre
pared for resistance The question Of the right and the
power of the Government to march them through the
city had nothing DO with the TO be pursued.
It was entirely question Of expedency, and think
il was rightly decided by the President The vote Of
yesterday shows that be was right.
The war of the city authorities upon the United
States continues They seized more provisions Last
night belonging 10 The Government. Whether these
seizures to be accounted for, is not known.
comparison OF Yesterdays vote with that for Mayor
last Fall, may not be unneresting:
