GEN. BUTLER TO GOV. HICKs.
In the correspondence which passed be-
tween Gen. B. +. Butler, OF Massachusetts,
and Gov. Hicks, at Annapolis, occurs the fol-
lowing:
/ have understood within the last hour that
some apprehensions We're entertained of an in
surrection OF the negro population of this
neighborhood. l am anxious TO convince all
classes OF persons that the forces under my
command not here in any way to inter
fere with or untenance any in nterference with
the laws OF the State. am, therefore, ready
to cooperate with your Excellency in sup
pressing most promptly and effectively any
insurrec ton against the laws of MARYLAND
l beg, therefore, that you announce pub
licly that any portion of the forces under my
command is at your Excellency's disposal, to
act Immediately for the preservation and
quietness Of the peace of this community
Gov. Hicks replied
thank you most sincerely for the tender of
your men but i had, before the receipt Of
your letter, direc ted the sheriff of the coun ty
to act in the matter, and am confident that the
citizens of the county are fully able to sup
press any insurrection of our slave popula-

THE "PIGHTING zoUAyEs."
The New York Journal of Commerce re.
marks as follows:
In ction with George Laws letter to
President Lincoln, advising the clearance of a |
path through Baltimore at all hazards, it is a |
significant fact that that gentleman presented
Wilson'S Fighting Zouaves with a pair of re- |
yolverS each. 1t is the unanimous wish of |
that regiment-expressed ON repeated occa- |
sions-to force passage through the Monu- |
mental city. The same desire is expressed by |
the Fire Depar tment Zouayes and in fact Is |
universally cherished by the soldiers of New |
York. The petition to the President urging |
that the Baltimore route be held by the Gov |
ernment at any cost, is receiving numerous |
signatures OF influential citizens throu ghuut |
the city. Col Learned is organizing a Path
finders Association" /" the ayoWed object of |
which is to cleave road to the capital |
through Baltimore. "Our route is through |
Baltimore" is printed in large letters at the
foot ofa poster, stuck about town, asking for |
recruits for the Fifth Regiment of New York
volunteers.
The New York papers complain that al
though there are 20 600 men now in that city |
ready to go TO Washington, or anywhere else,
they cannot procure firearms, especially |
Minnie rifles.
THE CAPITOL BUILDINGS, &C.
Abiding TO the present condi ton of the
Federal Capitol, a writer says:
Its costly and eIaborateiy finished apart
ments were already greatly defaced and
abused that the arrival of "A Southern army for
Its destruction will be scarcely necessary 1t |
seems probable that Mr.. Lincoln will have
suniciehtiy done the work before he gets

hails are driven for the hanging of accoatre-
ments, sides OF bacon, &c, aud the piaers oc- |
cupied by some OF The troops are said to ap-
pear not only very dirty, but to smell so.
The latest arrivals OF recruits from Penn
syiyania were from the vicinity OF P,tts-
burg, and IL is stated they presented most
sorry appearance, many half shod. half
dressed and decidedly anciean. All our
Northern friends on the march through Mary
