lthaving been represented the aayor and Board of
Police that the peace the city is likely to be disturbed
by the display Of various flags in different parts of the
city n the hands parties disposed to occasion disorder
and riot hereby by their instructions, order that no
f10 of ann descytion shall be raised in apy Mace or
carried through the streets during session of the Lee
gislature.
This order will be strictly enforced without re spect to

concur in its propriety. GEORGE P KANE
Marshal.
In obedience to the commands of the authorities
all the nags In the central section of the CITY were
lowered and in short time no flag Of any kind
could be seen. During the afternoon however. a
party of men, composed principally of ex-poce
officers and members of the old Know n othipg
clubs, raised pole about twenty ve feet in
height, upon Federal Hill, near the Marine Observ
atory, and placed large American Gag upon it,
denying the right of the authorities to order it
down, ana proclaiming their intention to keep it
up at all hazards.
A crowd of about 200 persons had collected
around the pole, when Captain Bnvd, of the South
ern district, arrived upon the ground, accompanied
oy posse of about forty officers, with orders to
insist upon the flag being lowered. Shouts for the
onlon ana groans for the police heard, when
captain Boyd ordered the men to advance to the
pole and lower down the bunting. To his surprise,
however, Sergeant Crangle, together with some
Six officers, refused to obey the commands of their
superior officer, and stood quietly by. They
again ordered to do their duty. when, il is alleged
of the officers named Banker, drew his revol-
yer and made demonstration toward Capt. Boyd.
The captain turned quickly upon him and would
have shot him down had not some of the officers
seized him and carried him off.
The police, or at least those who were ready to
do their duty, then advanced to the poll and find
ing no rope or halyards attached to the fac nro
ceeded to break it down, which thew succeeded in
DOING, when the whole party of roughs rushed
upon the officers, and a smart fight ensued. The
nag was recovered by the crowd and was partially
holsted three consecutive times aud each time was
Hya Nv act-,
almost to shreds. n reinforcement of police Off
GERS hnally arrived on the ground, and after hard
struggle the crowd was overcome, and the follow
ing parties arrested: John Murphy Levi Vickers

ert chambers, ex-potce officer, Wash. Dunlap. A
number of the Others belonged to the old Tiger
and Eubolt clubs. The entire party were carried
to the MarshaPs office, and subsequently to the
Middle district police station, where they were
locked up for the night.
a list OF the names OF the officers who refused to
do duty has been furnished to the Board of Com.
mlssioners, and they will be Immediately dismissed
from the service.
Two American flags were also raised in the lower
section OF the city during the afternoon, one at
Lower Canton, and the other Immediately opposite
the receiving ship Allegheny, but both were low
cred by the police, without any difficulty.

acter. The steamer Louisiana, Captain Russell
however, arrived at an early hour in the morning
with number of passengers and the United States
mail. Those on board report that the Notifications
In course OF erection by the Virginia troops guard
ing the approaches to Portsmouth and Norfolk are
ADVANCING very rapidly, and it was estimated that
ABOUT 5o0 men were engaged at work upon the
lorElneat,ons: These men are engaged principally
at Fort Norfolk, Craney Island, and the Naval
Hospital. The distractions near the entrance to
the ports remained, though vessels drawing eight
or ten teet OF water passed freely in and out. At

Efforts were making to raise the steam frigate Mer-
rlmde, the sOop-ol-war Plymouth, and another war
vessel, which it was supposed would be successful
The Nerrtmoc Is we'll worthy every effort which
may have been made, as she originally cost about
one million dollars. Passing the steamer George-
anna In the bay, Captain Russell learned that the
steamer had passed three steamers coming up the
Day from the Capes. 1t is possible they were laden
with United States troops.
FIRE.-The alarm of fire h ich was soundod
from box No. IS, about three O'Clock vesterdav

story brick stable on Portland street, near Green

uaS or TWO past, there was nothing of a stirring
OF exciting character occurring yesterday, and we

tentlon from the passers-by, and seem now to be
considered part of the daily business of our peo-
PIE A number OF persons who, more timd than
the large majority of populace, had been M K
ing hasty preparations for departure have now
altogether abandoned the idea, and come to the
conclusion that the strong arms and stout hearts
OF Baltimore, under the good discipline of the prop
er authorities, are as capable of protecting them
IN the hour OF danger those of any other portion
OF the country. In fact some persons imagine
tuaC they see through glass darkly" the dawn of
uninterrupted peace.
