Baltimore KsefoTo the Arrest Of Kane.
A correspondent Of the New York Tribune, :
writing from Baltimore On tue 26th, gives the
following animated description OF tie condi-
Was before the arrest Of Marshal Kane:@.
The truth is, the whole air Of the town Is
be1rden with rebellion. At this moment reb-
el dage are flying in several quarters, and they
are da51y increasing in number. Four p1iyates
Of Company B, IN the Brooklyn 18th, Sons OF j
honorable and honored parents, repaired to
Dr.. Cox's Grace Church last Sunday aad after
waiting for some minutes In the Risle, asked
the sexton very Politely tor seats, but be.
1udely., replied that, be did not feel author-
iztd to accommodate them! Miscreants
nightly amuse themselves By shooting at the
different camps IN the Wezt End, from brick
sheds and clumps Of trees In the distance. A
band OF desperadoes Eas been discovered in
,lr Limerick portion Of the town, engaged IN
the business @ marking Union dwellings for
tht1 steps By spies upon their actions. The
daily intercourse between the rebels In this
town and j Il. DaVis's headquarters; through
Adams's Express las just been broken up.
Certain otheaH'ise respectable parents are
known to put up their children to hiss at aud
gIoan Union gentlemen as they pass along the
streets, and to Etone the children Of tne latter.
The four rebel papeas are doing all they
can, morning and evening, to stimulate an
uprising Of the mob, and to exasperate the
pnhlic mind. Rude boys continue to thrust
offensive caricatures Of the Federal GeuerAls,
photographs Of the rebel chiefs, and abusive
Secession songs, at the officers Of the United
States troops stationed here, as they pass the
thoroughtares, Three Eell-dressed men were
seen to spit at an unarmed private, after be
had passed BY them. It is an ascertained fact
that many 3adies tn the highest positions OF
society have taken to carrying small reyolvers
in their pocket, sud to stopping the Federal
soldiers In the streets for the purpose Of scold-
ing them for taking up a1ms to put down the
rebellion; and in more than one case these
amazo1s have been nea1d to indulge in unbs
coming reflections and administrations.
Such are some Of the buildings up Of the
digloyalty and treason that are now hea7ing
In the bosom Of the rebel portion Of our pop
nlatfon, which Is chiefly confined to the higher
social clssses, but down below the surfnce
things are taking on the form Of active resist
arce. Preparations Of the NEST formidable
magnitude have been going On In secret for
the last ten OF twelve days, looking to = bloody
uprising in this town Of the enemies Of the
United States. It Is now known that large
| numbers Of Baltimoreans, who fed to Dtxies
Land atter the 18th Of April outbreak, have
BEEN creeping back etealthily into town by
| twos and threes, bringing with them Virginia
! rebels, and that they are now concealed in the
| houses Of the Secession gentry In our midst,
| ready to rush forth at a given signal to take
Vengeance on the friends Of the Union, aud
|
JEFF Davis will attack Gen. Scott IN front and
| on bis tWo flanke. The best rebel authority
sets down the presence Of this concealed enc
my at ] 100 strong, willie others boast Of i.s
teipg st least 1900. Certain it is, that large
numbers Of strangers have been seen Oh our
streets Of late, and many of the fugitives have
| been NIT at night. As eaid in my last letter,
there are concealed arms enough in private
| houses for ten regiments.
| The rebels and the disafccted are quite
| loud,mouthed in their anticipations of getting
posstssion of Baltimore MarshA Kane is re
ported to have said that IN less than ten days'
time this town would overthrow the Federal
authority, Arrominent Seceesionist warned
aupion friend Of his yesterday to get out OF
the town, as second It Bartholomew was
sctn to be enacted here! Boasts are made on
eytry side that Baltimore will be speedily
freed from the dominion OF the United Stntes.
| The n unitiEa1 anti ority Is in the hands OF the
rehe1s, aod one cannot help feeling sense OF
insecurity, that is rendered doubly painful by
| the apparent Indifference Of the Governm ent
to the true state Of things bearing so oppres,
EiEe1y upon the feelings of all Loyal men. But
un1eEs al signs fail, they will tiud all their ef
forts at getting up second mob crushed out
in way they little dream Of. They e known
marked and doomed to defeat before they
strike sir gle blow; but il, by any chance
they should precipitate q conflict, the woe.
that await the N may not be anticipated. Lei
