GEN. BUTLER AT BALTIMORE.
On Tuesday, Gen. Butler issued proclama-

the material portion:

fered with by others, except in SO far as it may
be used or be in course Of preparation to be
used to afford aid and comfort to those in re.
bellion against the Government, whether here
or elsewhere. All which property, munitions
of war, and that fitted to aid and support the
rebellion, will be seized and held subject to
confscation and therefore all manufacturers
of arms and munitions of war are hereby re.
quested to report to me forthwith, so that the
lawfulness Of their occupations may be known
and understood, and all misconstructions of
their doings avoided.
"No transportation from the city to the rebels
Of articles fitted to aid and support troops in
the field will be permitted; and the fact of such
transportation, after the publication Of this proc.
lamation, will be taken and received as proof
of illegal intention on the part Of the consign.

~ Ross Winans, the millionaire Baltimore
secessionist, was arrested at the Relay House
on Tuesday evening, on his return from Fred.
erick to Baltimore, by order Of General Butler.
He will doubtless have fair trial, upon the
charges of treason made against him. If in

will receive exemplary punishment.
This arrest has struck the Maryland traitors
with salutary terror. Flight will now be the

A KENTUCKY OFFEE.-We copied yesterday
paragraph from the Washington correspond.
ent of the N. Y. Tribune, to the effect that Mr..
Thomasson, of Kentucky, proposed to the Pres.
ident to raise brigade there, not to serve out
Of the State, but to be used in preventing the
passage across Kentucky Of Southern troops to
invade the North.
We suppose, of course, that the Government
will take no troops into its service, who are not
ready to go any~here, and to fight anybody, in
defence Of the stars and stripes, but the point
which chiefly provoked Our indignation in this
reported offer, is the suggestion that we need
anybody in Kentucky to prevent the passage of
invading armies from the South. There are
no such armies, and if there are, the sooner
they come on, the better. What we want of
Kentucky, is not defence against the South,
but open roads for our armies to march into
Tennessee, for the purpose of dispensing the in
surgent bands which infest that State, and Of
hanging their leaders.

conspirators would be absolutely deprived Of
their means of support.
Events are progressing with great rapidity,
and if this war continues much longer, the
slaves of the South, now used as laborers at.
tending Southern military operations, will be
employed as soldiers to fight us. That is not
thought of to-day, because slaves have been too
costly and valuable to be used as soldiers, but
when they cease to be saleable, they will be
offered liberty by their own masters, as the con.
dition of fighting in the ranks of the rebellion.
They will be less dangerous in the army, than
on the plantations, and the pressure Of con.
tinued war, will require the fighting men of
whatever color in the Gulf States, the popula.
ton of which of all kinds is not numerous.
The South is already raising black troops, Ger.
tainly at Lynchburg and at New Orleans, Of

What is erpedient to be done, will depend
upon circumstances and localities.
Fomenting instructions among slaves, with
the probable consequences to women and chill
dren, is an idea abhorrent to civilization and
humanity. 1t is not to be entertained for sin

gencies.

The zri6uns's Charleston correspondent
of the 9th, relates a little incident which
had come to his knowledge. The Charles
ton General has some "discretion," being
pretty we'll satisfied that Major Anderson
would ''shoot those pesky irons" of his:
A council was held this morning, when
It was proposed that demand should be
made upon Anderson for the possession of
Fort Sumter. 1t was subsequently, with
drawn and ordered to stand over for the
present, on account Of Gen. Beaurequard
stating that he knew if such demand was
made Major Anderson would open fire.
We think it would not be many minutes
after Anderson received such a summons,
before the 'Columbiads' Of Sumter we're
sighted at the rebels, and the demand hon
ored in hard currency. The correspondent
says also
] am happy to tell you that the rumors
which the chiyalry started about Major An
derson's want Of fidelity to the Union are
now admitted by them to have been en-
tirely false.

The New Loan,

The bids for the new loan of SIS, 100000
were opened by Secretary Chase yesterday,
when it was ascertained that they amounted
to about $30,oOo,oOo, or nearly four times
the sum desired. The average for the ac-
cepted bids was about 93t, no bid being
received at less than 99 l7-1O0. The range
was from SO to par.
This is a great improvement on the offers
for the last loan, few weeks since, when
the average was about 9o4; and a still
greater gain on the bids of last January,
when only about ss could be got. This
improvement is highly creditable to the Ad-
miDistration, and evinces great confidence
on the part of capitalists in the financial
ability and integrity of Secretary Chase.
Of the bids received, $26,0OO,OO0 came
from New York, and $l,lOO,ooo from
Boston.
Later dispatches state that the Secretary
will accept no bids of the new loan below
94 per cent, and that the amount of such
received is about $3,0oO,o00. This resolu-
ton is no doubt induced by the belief that
as the public credit is now rising, better
terms can be had, whep further means be-
come necessary.-Blade.

of some Importance, in that it chronicles
considerable changes in our community
A good portion of the people are renters,
and April first brings the day of change,
which, with many, is annual. Beside
these, the numerous sales Of real estate
cause many changes. All of these, nearly,

or even the county.

Our little article exposing the policy of the
County Commissioners in regard to disposing Of
a part of the Infrmary Farm, under the plea
that such policy is necessary in order to ena-
bic them to put up new building, has Won
derfully stirred up the virtuous indignation Of
the honest and patriotic scribbler who presides
over the editorial chair of the satanic sheet across
the way Bean says that the Commissioners
need no defense from him. and then goes off in
nearly column article to show the immaculate
and upright intentions of the worthy custodians
of the county's property. If they needed no
defense from him, why this waste of brains in
their behalf when every body knows that he
has but a small modicum of the article at best.
He says, very modestly, that the Commissioners
did not request him to defend them. We pre-
sumo that is 50. We have too much reliance in
the discretion and intelligence of the Commits
sioners to suppose that they would be guilty Of
doing that. Whatever they might do in regard
to selling the land, we cannot believe that they
would be weak enough to call to their assist
ance the intellect and pen of so able lucid and
decent writer as the aforesaid Bean. We shall
spare them the pain of even intimating that they
would.
Although Bean says that he had not seen the
Commissioners since reading our article, he gives
us the gratifying information that the land is to
be sold to the highest bidder. That is one point
gained, and is as it should be- Let there be nc
avoritesm shown in the matter. The proper
plan for the Commissioners to pursue is to make
a statement of the necessity for a new building
what it will probably costto put it up, and stat,
why portion of the farm should be sold to de-
fray part of the expense. Then let them as
certain, as far as practicable the sense of the ia,
payers in the matter. If there is really a neces
sity for new building they will cheerfully
submit to any additional taxation necessary t.
build the new structure, without sacrificing the
land
If the logic of Bean is to prevail that the lane
must be sold because the unfortunate poor and in
firm have so largely increased on the farm, new
slice off the real estate may be called for every
year. The farm, we are told, barely support,
itself now, and should the Commissioners sell
about one fourth of it, as proposed, it would un-
doubtedly fail to dothat
But it is not our intention to enter into de-
tails now. We have warned the people, as {
faithful sentinel, of this scheme. A new bull
ding may be needed, but we are satisfied tn,
plan proposed to secure one, will result in
great loss TO the people. In the mean time w
shall keep an eye on the movers in this matter
and may, at proper time give an expose of tn
whole subject, as detailed to US by Democra
who is well acquainted with the plan.

of the control of the Warehouses of the
Government in the ports of South Carolina,

Florida and Texas having been usurped, it
is impracticable to continue the privilege Of
bonding goods for transportation to those
ports, and Collectors are instructed that no
entries for transportation in bond to said
ports can be permitted.

that the question of the Reinforcement Of
