disturbing the public peace, and convicted
thereof would find its roll readily purged Of

Of men with muskets these summer mornings.

two spiked columbiads have had new rivets
drilled, aud are now mounted and ready for exc.
cution. We also have five ten inch sea. coast
mortars in position, and full supply Of am
munition of all kinds, not only for all our heavy
ordnance, but also for our field pieces. Our
commanding officer is full of energy, and can
neither be driven or cajoled by the Baltimore
secessioRists.
In Baltimore it is necessary to avow seces-
sion, or at least anttcoercion sentiments, in
order to gain .ven toeration among the aris.
tocracy Of the city.
Three distinct and we'll concocted plans for
seizing this fort have been attempted by the
Bal,imoreans, and it was by mere accident that
the first two were not successful.

his friends obtained from the authorities at
Washington q promise that the colonel should

Barry's and Hunts batteries to Fort Pickens.
Msgruder would have tranferred US to the

Messrs. Gilmor and Tyson, Of the famous Mary.
land Guards, began manipulating the officers at
Fort McHenry by presents Of whisky, cigars,

that in few days the officers were completely
under the influence Of said gentlemen Of the

after the outbreak of the 18th April, the seoes.

threaten all attack on Fort McHenry; and on
the goth of April, we received from the Balti.

CoNTRABAED NEGRoEs.-Our correspondent
Annapolis, of fugitive slaves coming within his
lines now explains that he intended to have
exclusive reference to slaves SO returned to Col
Hughes, who is alleged to have been rebe
in arms" If Col II. was really such, his slaves
should not have been returned and he himsel
ought now 10 be indicted for treason.
The truth is General Butler returned man5
slaves at Annapolis, and the objection which
our correspondent made, was, that he returned
any at all, and was not based upon the treason
Of particular master. The objection now mad
is an altogether different affair, and depend
upon matter of fact, Of which the proofs arr
not clear.
Gen. Lyon lays down the true doctrine il

protect the property "of all LAw.ABIDISo cit
