Proclamation to the People Of Baltimore.
HEADQUARTERS,

DEPARTMENT OF ANNAPOLIS, June q, 1861.
BY virtue of the authority vested in me, and
in obedience to orders, as Commanding Gen
eral Of the Military Department Of Annap-
oils, have arrested and do now detain in Gus
tody Mr.. George P. Kane, Chief of the Police
of Baltimore
deem it proper at this the moment of arrest
to make formal public declaration of the mo-
tive by which have been governed in this pro-
ceedlng. 1t is not my purpose, neither is it in
consonance with my instructions, to interfere in
any manner whatever with the legitimate gov
eminent of the people of Baltimore or Mary
land desire to support the public authorities
in all appropriate duties in preserving the peace,
in protecting property, in obeying and enforc-
ing every municipal regulation and public stat
ute consistent with the Constitution and laws of
the United States and Maryland but unlawful
such laws, and to provide hidden deposits of
arms and ammunition and encourage contraband
traffic with men at war with the Government
and while enjoying its protection and privileges,
stcalthily wait the opportunity to combine their
means and forces with those in rebellion against
its authority. Those are not among the recog-
nized legal rights OF any class of men and cam
not be permitted under any form of Govern
ment whatever.
Such combinations are well known to exist in
this department. The mass Of the citizens of
Baltimore and Maryland are loyal to the Con-
stitution and the Union, and are neither par
ties to nor responsible for them but the Chief
of Police is not only cognizant of these facts,
but in contravention of his duty, and in viola
ton of the law, he is by direction or ndirec-
ton both a witness and protector to the trans
actions and parties engaged therein Under
such circumstances, the Government cannot re-
gard him otherwise than as the head of an
armed force, hostile to it's authority and acting
in concert with it's avowed enemies. For this
reason, superseding his official authority, as
we'll as that of Commissioner Of Police, | have
arrested and do now detain him in the custody
of the United States and in further pursuance
Of my instructions have appointed for the time
being Col. Kinley, of the let Maryland Regi-
ment of Volunteers, Provost Marshal in and for
the city of Baltimore, to superintend and cause
to be executed the police laws provided by the
Legislature of Mary land, with the aid and as
sistance of subordinate officers Of the Police
Department, and he will be respected accord
ingly
Whenever loyal citizen shall be otherwise
named for the performance of this daty, who
will execute the laws impartially and in good
faith to the Government Of the United States,
the military force of this Department will rem.
der to him that instant and willing obedience
due from every good citizen to his Government

meeting to-day The object of the assemblage
is probably political

ST. LOUIS, June 26.
Hon Mr. Phelps family arrived here to-da y,
from Springfield Thursday last. All the
Secessionists had left that city, and the people

find no enemies to fight on the Southern border.

Good News.

There are two items of news just received
that are points gained decidedly in the conflict
with rebellion, viz: the recognition of the
Government established by the Wheeling Con-
venton, as the real Government of the State of
Virginia, and the arrest of Marshal Kane and
the appointment of John r. Knley as Provost
Marshal of Baltimore.
We feel as we read that the vigorous and
strong policy that has been SO efectual in
crushing out rebellion beyond the Mississippi,
has also been inaugurated on the banks of the
Potomac, and we thank God for it. We hope
the resolute measures which these indications
foreshadow, may be unhesitatingly pursued
In this way, though Plug Uglies are indig-
nant," and halfway men timidly "prepare
protest." the true Union men will not only
be "pleased,' they will be strengthened, and
soon be ready, like the brave Missourians, to
defend themselves. The Country wants Abra-
ham Lincoln, and Gen. Scott, and Gen. Butler,
and Gen. Banks, and everybody else that is en-
gagged in putting down this rebellion, to just
go ahead as fast as they can conveniently, and
By forcesuppress treason and such news as this
from Baltimore is therefore good news to the
Country. Gen Banks, 90 ahead.

YIELDING TO THE FORCE OF CIRcUMsrANcEs.--
The Board of Police in Baltimore, in their
lengthy protest against the suspension of their
functions by Gen. Banks, have expressed them
selves as yielding to the " force of circum
stances in submitting without violent resis-
lance to the Generals act This is " drawing
it extremely mild" though we trust Banks and
his troops will not feel particularly bad at
being called " circumstances" We hope to
hear before long that jeff Davis and all tie
other traitors have in the same way been COM
PEELED to yield to force of about 500 900

AT recent parade Of the Wisconsin regiment
a scene of a solemn and deeply affecting nature
occurred, which have not before noticed. At
ter reg mental parade, Colonel Starkweather
commanded the attention of his men, and address
sed them on the ubject of the great cause which
brought them so lar from home and, appealing
to their courage and patriotism. asked if they
were ready to follow him. III responded affirm
atlvely. But to give full effect and formal dig
nifty to this resolution, he called for the colors
OF the regiment, and, waving the Stars and
Stripes in the breeze he kneeled at its foot, and
Offering up an invocation, in which the men
were called upon to join, the whole regiment
knclt as one man and renewed their fealty to
their flag. There were few dry eyes witnessed
this affecting scene.

WASHINGTON, June %.
The news of the coup d'etat at Baltimore created
marked sensation in this city. Gen. Banks
acted upon the instructions OF the Government,
but the manner in which he conducted the
movement is fully approved, both by the Pres-
dent and Gen. Scott 1t is reported to-day
that General commission in the Confederate

too soon, as Kane intended to leave Baltimore

great danger that he escaped to Washington in
disguise, and states thathe was there as Member
candidate for the Richmond District, and received
l79 votes, which, there being no opposition,
elects him. Aletter states that the Southern in
surrection is at its last gasp, while negro insur
rections are everywhere threatened.
GRAFTON, Juno II.
Corporal Hays, and 10 men belonging to Col.

BALTIMORE, June %.
The city is quiet, but there is good deal
OF subdued excitement. Crowds are assembled
around the police stations and marshal's Office.
The search at the Marshal's Office is going on,
and large quantities of arms and ammunitions
have been found seereted in the cellar, the walls
beneath the floor, &c. A case of valuable MIS-
tolls and over 800 rifles were found. Twenty-Five
OF the latter were Mime, and some of them are

A Democratic View of the State Convention

The resolution introduced by Mr.. Edmunds
of Burngto and adopted by the Convention,
was all right, and some of the speeches, as we
are informed by Democrats who were present,
had u tone of nagnanmity that was honorable
to the men who made them. But all this was
disposed Of in the nominations made by the
Convention, and no Democrat unless he is pre-
pared to stutify himself and abandon all self
respect, can, for Il moment, think Of supporting
ticket not only partizan in form, but to the
very extreme IN SPIRIT

and another ticket put in nomination that, a."

oath - Vermont Pnt,t0t
If anybody has any doubt whether the Con-
yention on the Goth was substantially and IN
spirit fully in sympathy with the principles
which brought the Republican party into ex-
istence, the treatment Of the action Of that
Convention by those who are still at war with
Repu blicanism must very soon set that doubt
at rest. Those formerly hostile to the Repub-
lcan party, who came into the Convention, and
acted with 1t because they were only SEEKING 10
have the rightful authority of the Government
maintained, and treason put down By force,
were satisfied with the res ult. But those who
hoped through the machinery of the Conven-
ton to strike a fatal blow at Republicanism in
Vermont, and build, with what they were
pleased to call the g liberal wing" of the Re-
publican party, and the great body of the Dem
ocratic party, Il new party that should control
the State, were disappointed and discomftted.
In other words, Democrats who came into the
Convention purely from patriotic motives went
away satisfied, while those who came for office
and the spoils went away in wrath With
that result the people will in the end be con-
tent, however much the politicians may grum-

A Pirate Feels Indignant.

T. Harrison Baker, the Captain of the Pri
vateer Savannah recently brought to New York,
was, with the pirate crew, taken in charge by
Marshal Murray, who ordered him to be hand
cutfed. Asan officer stepped forward to perform
this duty Baker said, sc Good God, sir, you are
not going to iron me? am Captain" But
the Marshal quietly replied, i" make no dis
tnction, sir, between pirates. Officer, obey
your ORDERS The bracelets were then clasped
about the wrists of the pirate Captain, and he
was marched to prison with the rest of the rebel
crew.
And yet this same pirate chief, who had the
impotence to protest against being treated as a
common lelon, was taken cruising under COM
mission from JEFF. Davis, stipulating for Il
bounty of $40 for every loyal life that he
should destroy. Too good for handouts, for
sooth Let the buccaneers be taught not only
that they are not too good for irons, but that
they are only just good enough for hemp.
Tho Republican Committee of Chittenden
County have called Republican County Con-
vention at Essex Junction, July Sd. This is
just as it should he. If Republicans desire to
be magnanimous to their former opponents, and
give them places on their tickets, they have u
clear right to do 50. But when they do it, let
it b, done as Republica ms by Republican votes.
In this way there will be no discussion about
abandoning principles or organization and the
act when accomplished, would be the act of Re-
pubicaus, and not of mixed party. We de-
cidedly object. however, to calling Democrats
into Convention to assist in bringing Repub-
licans up to this " no-party' patriotism. II
they are not equal to this magnanimity, don't
force it upon them, but just let those who dis
like their course, go where they find more con
genial minds. o
