MARYLAND ALL RIGHT.

The presence of the Federal troops in Ma
ryland is having avery salu,ary effect
Baltimore has been peacefully wre.ted from
the har is Of the mob, and is now under the
control Of Union men, who declare that they
will use their hes, cnieavors to prevent any
ilr;her interference with military forces or
stores passing through that city. a G"on
meeting was held there last Monday night,
which was attended by more than 90 600.
Travel will soon be resumed on all the rail-
roads through MARYLAND to the capital. The
legislature, now in session, has refused by
more than'a ,wo-thirds vote, to pass an or
dinaDce Of secession, and ii very strong Tn.
ion sentiment prevails all over the State.
This is owing in IL great measure to the pres
encs Of troops in the large towns. The CSC
cessiou mob. are overawed, and the Union
men come forward in their might. We
have no doubt that the presence Of q 900
Federal bayonets ut Richmond, in the hands
of men who knew how to use them, would
develop Union force there that would rs
tonish tho lonI-mou,hrd, bullying secess-
innists. A. it is now, tn, Uaion men are
siIenced by the rni-housc hrawling mob,
whn. BIS virtue Of their Drawing. are taken
for tho time ~ the representatives. Of the
public sentiment.

THE OLD BAY STATE AROUSED.

The unrrovoked attack on the M,.sachu-
sets volunteers in Baltimore, has produced
most profound sensation throughout, the
Old Bay State. The circum>t nee ihatyit
occurred on the anniversary Of the battle Of
Lexington, stimulates the people with i'm.
mortal and glorious memories Of the Revo.
!utionary struggle. PJli,ical differences
have been dropped, and the State is unit
for the defense Of the Flag Of the U ZION.
Notwithstanding the President Ia, accepted
double the quota of troops originally called
for from the State, several regiments are
vet snxiously awaiting call for serti ice.
The Banks Of the State have tender ed 10 the
Governor, money to the amount Of one.
tenth OF tho amount Of their capi,al stock
or over three millions IF dollars. JeT.
Davis and his confederate rebels will soon
learn that the people Of the North are not
all sardjd shop-kecpers, "mulsi.ls' and
towards, too tlmid to defend their rights
or maintain their honor. The Cnnfedrr-
atcs even now shrink back appalled, ut the
menasss Of the lion they have aroused. And
well they may.

WASHINGTON, June 3.


The Herald correspondent says, gentle
man employed by the Government to visit
Harper's Ferry, Point of Rocks, and sur
rounding country, to ascertain as nearly as
possible the number of troops, strength and
position of the Notifications, and the num-
Der Of batteries at those points, has just re-
turned and made his report to the Govern
ment, bringing with him map of the
country. He was arrested Immediately on
his arriving at the Point of Rocks, and was
held prisoner about three hours. He played
the secession dodge on them, and proved
sound to their entire satisfaction. He
states that at the Point of Rocks thirty two
pound batteries are erected on the Virginia
side. On the Maryland side there were
$50 men stationed as picket guard, where
they were just erecting batteries. The
guards took him from there 10 Harper's
Ferry where he was detained for some time.
Here he ascertained through several of the
soldiers the number and names of the Re-
giments. H
There are IA full regiments at Harper's
Ferry and the Point of rocks. After be
was released there seemed to be plenty of
arms; he saw them open boxes and at once
arm those who had just arrived at Harper's
Ferry. They have large number of heavy
batteries planted on all sides, and were
busily engaged in constructing others at
all available points where they could be
effectually used.

CHICAGO, June 4.


Alta meeting of various committees, state
municipal and others, held this morning, a
committee was appointed to present to the
family of Judge Douglas, the unanimous
wish of the people of Illinois that the re-
mains should be permitted to remain in this
State for interment.
Col. Richardson, as the organ of this
committee, performed the delicate duty of
communicating to the family the wishes of
the committee, and at a general meeting
Hon. ]. D. Cation reported the result-that
an affecting interview had taken place be-
tween Col. Richardson and Mrs Douglas,
the result of which was that in due appre-
citation of the spontaneous expressions of
the wishes of the people Of Illinois the re-
mains of the Illustrious dead should be in
tered in this State.
The widow has yielded with pain and
not with reluctance; it was her desire that
his remains should be inferred at Cottage
Grove near the Lake shore, where she
could be permitted to reside in the imme-
diate vicinity. No more appropriate place
could be selected. There is already mon
ument there erected by himself, of endur-
ing honor in tie magnificent institution by
learning, founded by his liberality. The
report was accepted, and meeting was i'm
mediately held to make the necessary ar
rangements for the funeral, which will prob
ably take place on Friday.
