BALTIMORE, Friday evening, April 10.
Editor Star : suppose ere this YOU have had
foil report Of the sad scene enacted in our midst
to-day Yesterday the troops passed through our
city from Pennsylvania, and It was the occasion
of some excitement, of course, but no more than
might have been expected; Col. Kane was out
with his full force and did all he could to sup
press rioting, and there was but lille done. BE Is
clever gentleman, and, / think, will do his

THINGS In BALTIMORE.

FlON tlc BdIUHOre hepubllcan OF SATURDAY.

The Station Of the Philadelphia Railroad has
been entirely closed up and guarded, and notice
on the door over the signature OF Mr.. Crawford
agent, announces that no more trains will be run
over the road until further notice.
Upon the arrival Of the last train over the road

OF by a company OF the City Guards, under COM
Eland OF Major Tsimble. and a detachment Of the
police to the number of one hundred, under the
charge OF Marshal Kane, the force acting under
the orders of the city authorities.
This force proceeded on train to Bush River
with view TO the prevention Of bringing any
more Northern troops trough this city by this road
From what we can learn of their movements
which were secret, the bridge at this point wa.
placed In condition which precludes all posi-
bility Of any trains moving over the same as Il
was partially burned 10 portion of the rails upon
the remainder taken up
The people along the line Of the road are in
state Of painful excitement md making prepara-
tons at various points 10 dispute the massage of
any more troops The telegraph wires Of this line
being cut, no tidings can be obtained by this
means OF events In this direction all intelg ence
being derived from parties coming In by private
conveyance
The telegraph upon the line Of the Northern
Central Railway has been DESTROYED, and no COM
munication is going on with the North and w est,
over this route.
About one o'clock to-day considerable alarm
was produced on the Point by report that the
New YORK Seventh Regimen was marching in,
Broadway, hut the soldiers seen marching over
the bill at the suburbs Of the city proved to be
the military and police force who had gone out to
Bush river, and who were compelled 10 abandon
their train at Harris creek, owing to the burning
of the bridge there, and 90 I'm.
At the request of the authorities of the CITY, the
Minute Men this morning lowered the American

THf ARMS ~ THE Possession OF VIRGINIA
on Inc day before the Virginia Convention went
INTO secret session, MIR. Scott, OF Powhatan, who
mad up to that time been Union man, In speech
designed to explain his change Of position, init
mated that his opposition to secession had been
greatly Induced by his knowledge Of the entire
lnadequacy Of the States supply Of arms to enter
upon any such contest as that into which an ordi
nance OF secession would immediately involve
nef- he backed up this declaration by remark
tnat the AdJutant General of the State had assured
nim 'na' al mat momeht Virginia possessed only
arms enough TO place in the hands of five thousand
nen-and to arm but three thousand properly.

NoRFOLK.-THE u. S. NAVAL STEAMER Paw
SEE.-Ths Pawnee, which left the Washington
Navy Yard, carrying considerable reinforcement
OF marines, on Friday morning last, reached her
destination In due time. On her arrival, the guns
OF the Norfolk Navy Yard were duly spiked, and
as our informant was about leaving there, she was
preparing to proceed to perform her misson-to
remove all toe vessels Of the United States of

Paulding from being moles.ed in his effort to get
the ships out The Cumberland's guns. as we
mentioned on Saturday, commanded the situation
so completely as tina; the L. 3 naval authorities
In that quarter did not anticipate serious effort

Thus we have to say that at noon on Saturday
about as the Pawnee reached Fortress Monroe
the officers In command proceeded to sink the
Germantown slocp-of-war and the steam friyate
Merrimac, in pursuance with orders received from
this point, in case It should be found impossible
to get them beyond the reach Of seizure or assault

spiked. We do not believe that the Pawnee was

therefore should not be surprised to learn Of her
