yet it is difficult to understand how he cepd have IA.

an affair that certainly ought to have been kent Dro
found secret. Says the writer.
e'anced to get an inkIing, last evening, indeed !
may Say afeVeetion OF Gen. Lees designs on Baltimore
i purpose Is 10 engage Gen. SCOTS at Manassas J,nc-
tloi, ~ miles south Of Alexandria by Formidable dem
onstIat1on against Washington from that n,ar4ar pa
MNIe tls TENT Is being made. to suddenly
ms llarefs fefry eoiasnn upon Baltimore by rail to
the henocacy junction, thus bringing himself within az
miles OF tais city 0nce at that point which he ex,ec
70 ieach without the knowledge Of Gen. Scott bv de-
streyng the wires in every possible direction he will
march direct upon Baltimore by way of the old Freder
lex turnpike and by forced march get with 20 miles
OF the city before the news can spfead of his anracb
ms one the rebels are to rise in Baltimore at given
sena after midnight and begin the work of Slaughter
ing the lnarmed Union men and their families in which
wioeae murder the Police authorities led ON by their
plah afslal are TO be aders and abettors The all-
hors OF this infamous scheme boast Of their ability to let
loose an armed mob Of at least S090 desperadoes who
are to show loyal people no quarter whatever While
these ueeds o darkness are being enacted Gen John
sons forces numbering 900 undiscplined adye-
turers will be descending like an avalanche upcn the
Town. out OF which they think it will be impossible for
Gen. Scott to drive them.
When reminded Of the Federal forces now stationed
around the city and at Washington and of tbe terrible
armament at Fort Mclenry, the cool assption is that
none OF these obstacles prevail against such de-
telnined foe as Gen. Johnston commands. The men in
this city acting in concert with Gen. Lee in his purpose
OF cutting off Gen. Scott's communication with the
North by this proposed cop de Da rely greatly upon
the ability OF the Baltimore rebels to despatch and hold
IN check the friends of the Government in the CITY until
Gen Johnston can form junction with them. The
Union men have military organization and arms
The rebels have both; and the dsarming of them by
Gen cadw;aader has gone on so indherently that he
has not gathered oneffth Of the arms which the mob
got possession of in the reign of terror The purpose
Gen. Lee has been selfevent for some days but now
that it is no longer concealed by his friends good
OF uneasess has sprung in the last twentyOur hours
in the breasts of loyal people, and but reflect that nm
easiness when say there assurance ut all of their
personal safety, things stand at the present writing
Some color of reliability given this story by the
arrests for treason the 1st of June in Maryland of
exGovernors Lowe and Pratt and the rumored purpose
of arresng several other distinguished citizens of that
State, including Louis BIcLane ex-anister to Mexico
and the rebels candidate in the Fourth Congresso
al District Other arrests Of prominent citizens have
been made in the Northern part of the State
special despatch from Washington contains state
ment which also indicates the renewal of reasonable
practices IN Baltimore since the departure of General
Butler On the passage through that city Both May
OF the New York Twelfth and Thirteenth regiments
there were strong nmations that attack upon them
was medltated. in consequence of which they marched
with loaded weapons and fixed bayonets While passing
through the streets, although few of the spectators
made demonstrations of loyalty, large proportion
eheered for jeff Davis and shook their fists at the troops
This is not all The railroad company agreed to send the
cars containing the baggage and stores of the Thirteenth
regiment across the city the track so as to prevent
the delay that would be occasoned by freighinr them
from depot to depot To whom this agreement became
known outside the railroad company and regiment is
not known, but it is fact that the track was so dsar-
ranged as to throw the first freight off the track
The two regiments did not deem it necessary remain
with their full force to protect their property,

Washington. The TWO regiments had hardly left Balti-
more before the guard Of the Twelfth and Thirteent
left IN charge OF the baggage. surrounded by mob
who threatened the soldiers cheered for jeff Davis and
among other things fired three shots at them.
The arrests ofeXGoyernors Pratt and Lowe have Civ

his part like that which he pursued in the Merryan
case will be followed by instant impeachment. The
