While the strong arm OF the Government IS
arrestng traitors in other parts of the country 1t
continues to pass lightly over the Rebels of this
State. Yesterday it fell upon woman who was
speedily discharged. To-day, it is sad to have
fallen upon State Senator McKaig Of ATeghany,
one of the leading spirits Of the Rebellion ID our
Legislature. Major Brown was said to have fallen
in s clutches yesterday, for paying 20 the defunct
police some $50, eco OF the peoples money, but az
vet he ia not touched. The five Rebel papers
here, il has been expected for some days, would
be shut up by the military arm, but they are stil
suffered TO work for the overthrow OF the Govern.
ment and the Secession of the State. The Patux-
snt steamboat line has been suffered 10 run again
under certain conditions which the siickers for
keeping up the legitimate trade of Baltimore think
Will prevent the prosecution of contraband carry
ing. Some 1870 Rebel Maryland soldiers, who
were in the battle of Bull Run, are said to be in
town. but they are not disturbed. Why this ex-
emption, Union people find it hard to understand,
and their complaints are beginning 10 find their
way into the columns Of The Clipper. BY the by,
The Clipper aud The american are fighting q
glorious fight for the Union, and against the Re-
Selien. God speed them in their good work
Major Belger, the 'Quartermaster at this point
has been overloaded on the charge Of distributing
the patronage of the Government among the Secs
sionists. The investigation has resulted in honora-
bly, acqutting him from al intentional connection
with Rebels for be has proved himself to be
Union man of the deepest dye. Wherever be has
hal anything 10 do with SecessiOnsts, it was
through being misled by designing PERSONS but on
the least suspicion be has discarded them instantly.
AS business man, and rs an officer who looks TO
the interest Of the Government, he has no superior
IL the army.
TIE Rebel Convention for nominating cand-
dates for Governor and Controller is 10 meet in
this city on toe 10th of September, under the
wolf-cry Of Peace" The hostility to such an
assembage is growing stronger among the Union
people every day Ii another Rebel State Senator
should 60 with Gen. MKaig to Fort Lafayette,
The Legislature viii never meet again. So it
may be Wits the Convention.
