Affairs at Frederick-Exciting Reports.
Frederick, June This city was in fer.
ment last night. 1t is certainly environed by
dangers "wthout and within" The latest
threat against its peace, and an appeal to the
vigilance of its Home Guard, is the really
startling, if true" reports, based, it is said,
upon the statement OF refugee from Virginia,
who overheard two Virginia Colonels discussing
the diabolical plot in the cars, that plan has
been arranged by force of Virginians to seize
the person of Gov. Hicks and certain members
Of the Assembly, including, perhaps, the elo-
quent farmer of Linganore," aud to bear
them all to place of security in that State.
The object Of this highly important plot is
said to be the transfer Of the gubernatorial
powers into the hands Of Speaker Brooke Of the
Senate, and the consequent precipitation Of
Maryland into the expectant embraces of the
Coniederates.
Absurd as this story is, it appears to be real
ly believed by many good citizens, and the ut.
most care has been taken to defeat its purposes.
