From Our Own Correspondent
BALTIMORE, March 20, I56i.
To show the animating spirit Of SecessIonism
| hsreabouts, let mo give you the substance Of q
! conversation held a DAY or two AGO WIN one Of
the heaviest pork dealers in this city, who made
bis fortune out Of contracts for furnishing the
army.
Can you tell me-" said he, "whAt is the
policy of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. il be war
or peace with the Confederate States For We
merchants and traders are in bad way, and do
not know what to do"
al know nothing more than what the In
augural reveals, and ! think the Administration
designs nothing more"
We are not satisfied with that programme
il deals too much in generalities."
at says that each case, as il arises, shall be
dealt with upon its merits, and that the United
States do not intend to make war upon anybody.
Is not that particular enough ?"
mo; we are no. submissonists. We want
the independence Of the Cotton Con,deracy Ia
be acknowledged, and a treaty Of peace and
amity to be made with the Seceders. We then
want General Convention of the United and
the Confederate States, for reconstructng
Federal Union upon the basis Of the Constitution
lust adopted by the latter We want simple
Confederation, with the right of secession guar
anteed, and the right TO take our slaves into any
portion of the Confederation and ts Territories,
and TO be protected in that right 10 the full
tent by the Federal Government"
"That is, you want the twenty-six non seced-
ing States TO submit to the viii and government
OF the eight seeding ones ?"
(" Yes, aud if we do not carry this point, We
shall agitate till Maryland join, the new Con
federacy."
Marshal Kane of our police tired Of the
monotony Of police pursuits, has stepped out
from the line of his VOCATION and has taken to
extracting from merchants, traders and manuiac-
turers, whose sympatbies are with Secession,
brief letters, for the purpose of showing the de-
preston Of trade in our city. In every case,
except that Of the celebrated cOthiers, Noah
Walker & Co., the respondents aver that they
have reduced the labor employed by them from
fifty to seyenty-Gye per centum, but Messrs.
Walker g. Co. continue to employ their full

though they admit business is not 50 brisk as
formerly This is the heaviest clothing house
South of Mason and Dixons line, and does all
its own manufacturing. It's work is superior to
that of your best houses.
Fort McIIenry, now under the command Of
Capt. Robinson, has 40 OF its guns mounted and
ready for active service. 1t Will soon have IFS
full complement in position. Capt. Hazard of
the Artillery has been detailed to this post. The
garrison consists of 100 men all told, and if they
continue as dgent as they have been, this ncble
old fortifcatiOn will be in as perfect order as
any other in the country
The chief point of interest in midst, pst
now. is the pursuit of the Federal Offices by The
Bell-Eyeretts. They have mistaken the afaIe
department of President Lincoln to oil his isl-
ow-ctizens, without respect to party, aud lis
kindly expressions, as indications of an invita-
ton to them to put in their petitions for Office,
