tons and collocations The town is relieved from the
open and shameless preachers Of ea son, and this Is
great point gained in the right directioo.
No intercourse IL suffered with the State prisoners at
Fortress Monroe and Fort McTIenry-not even are
their families permitted to see them This rgor was
made necessary by the abuse of the privilege In former
cases. for not content with comforting with the prison
ers the visitors set about TO corrupt the soldiers on
guard and in spite Of every precauton they succeeded
in many instances The stories set aoat of harshness
being used by the police in the capture Of the prisoners
are utterly untrue for when required by the Command"
ant of Fort MoHeDry to reduce their charges to writ
ing the complansnts declined, saying that, perhaps
after ALL their captors behaved with more than usual
Difference as was really the case. The trouble was not
in the police but in the fact of the arrest, with these
traitorous parties.
Nearly all the members of the Senate and House of
Delegates who voted for Treakle WallisS reasonable
resolutions, have been taken. Some still at large,
but the police have arranged for their certain capture.
The only one who has escaped 80 far, is John c.
Bruno Of this city, who il isbeieved is now in Canada
He got off through the laundering of the police officer
detailed to arrest him.
Great efforts are being made 10 get off Henry May,
Ross Winans, Charles II. Pitts and Mayor Brown;
and, strange to say, they come from many who call
themselves Union men-but if they knew that their
exerons only serving TO fix suspicion upon ther
loyalty, they would, perhaps, not be so ofheious IL
these parties let off the Government may as well
open the whole cage for they are among the Leading
conspirators. After Mayor Brown announced, in his
reply to Gen. Dix that he should pay the defunct po-
lice the arreaages due hem unless ordered not TO do
so, he was sent for 10 come TO the Fort, and
then and there expressly told not to do 30, as
the original order was intended 70 forbid any
further payments whatever And be was advised that
another letter to this effect would be sent TO him.
What did Mayor Brown do, but hasten to town and
direct the payment Of the arrearages that same day
His excuse was that the order did not reach him for
some days thereafter but this does not justify his
haste in doing what be was told not to do Mr.. May,
il is said, ate soup when he was in Richmond, pre-
pared by the hands Of JEFF. Davis's wife. If 90, it
has proved TO be dear plate Of soup to him, as many
Of his friends told him ii would prove TO be. As TO
Mr. Pitts his speech in the House of Delegates at the
last session was even moe reasonable than anything
that Teake Wallis uttered. Mr.. Winans broke his
parole by voting for the Wallis resolutions
The prompt occupation Of the peninsulsr counties
Government troops, and of the Eastern Shore coun-
ties, must eventuate in bringing back those regions
to their senses and loyalty At all events, the effort
Is worth making, and if IL does not succeed it will
then be for the Government to try what virtue there
is in bringing the &C, of confscation to bear against
the slaves of the resistsnts. We have 5000 free
blacks in this State now and the addition Of few
thousand more 10 the number, TO the extinction
onIv do har
but vast deal of good. II will be removing Of
the roots Of the cancer from the body polite, that,
perhaps, can never be eradicsted in any other way.
Public opinion in this State is rapidly cOnverging to
this point and if the Government only knew what
extent the policy OF Gen. Fremont is approved in
this State and City. Gen. Mcclellan would apply it
a, once to tho Rebels of Maryland Let that be done
and there would be no further need of the military oc
cupaton Of our soil.
Our Delegate ticket Is now complete. Mr.. Alexan
der having put himself square upon the Union plat
FORM was renominaed by seventy-6ve out Of one hun
dred votes and socket. Mathews has been substituted
for Mr.. Patterson, who declined. There is no abler
and stronger Unionist in the country than Mr. Math-
ews, and his election will stimulate Mr.. Alexander &c
take care he s not outstpped in devotion to the coun
try. In point Of legal ability they are about equal
though 1 think Mr.. Mathews Is the most effective
speaker The nominations in the counties are coming
in rapidly and they far better than the average
those made for quarter of Q centary past notice
too that two prominent Republicans have been selected
30 far thus showing hearty and honest fusion of pas
PARTIES General Howard and Lingon Jarrett have no
yet accepted the Rebel Nominations for Governor
Controller and the probability is now, that there vii
be no nominations whatever by the Rebels and thei
sympathzers in the field. Come when they may
their supporters will be required 70 take the oath o
allegiance before being allowed TO vote.
The Federal Police are continually unearthing arm
and munitions of war and Selling contraband. Tn,
other day, they took thousand dollars worth o.
quinne, on its way from your city to Dixie. So yor
See your druggists are not nsensble to the charms
Rebel dollars The bottles bear the label of Currie,
New-York manufacturer of the article. Mr.. Curris
had better take care to whom he sells contrabsnd Of
war.
Our loyal bankers houses complain Of want of i'm.
partially in the Government in granting passes hence
into rebeiom or rather into Virginia. The houses Of
Johnston Bros and T. j. Carson are said to have per-
ms to trade with Virginia. notwithstanding il is well
known that these establishments are by no meani
noted for their loyalty. Thousands Of dollars of inter.
eat on Virginia bonds have been collected in Richmond
and paid to bondholders living in this State, on
their taking the oath of allegiance oJedom. The ex.
change Of Virginia and other Southern bank bills,
gathered together in the course Of trade in this city, for
specie funds IN the North, is profitable branch Of
business and while neither Of the above houses may
have been engaged in collecting interest the fOrego.
ing conditions the latter bushes has been carried on,
doubtless, by them to a large extent Loyal houses
have applied 10 the Government for an extension Of
this privilege TO them. The result ought to be, and
probably will be, the withdrawal of all such favors,
which were granted under other auspices than thoee
