PROCLAMATION.
A detachment of the forces of the Federal Gov

city of Baltimore, for the purpose, among other
things, of enforcing respect and obedience to laws,
as well of the State, if requested thereto by the
civil authorities, of the United States-laws
which are being violated within its limits by some
malignant and traitorGus men-aud in order to
testity the acceptance by the Federal Government
of the fact, that the city and all the wel-nentioned
portion Of its inhabitants are loyal to the Union
and the Constitution and are to be regarded and
treated BY all To the end, therefore, that ali mis-
understanding of the purposes of the Government
may be prevented and to set at rest all unounded,
false and seditOus rumOrs; to relieve all appre-
tensions, if any are felt by the wel-disposeG por
tiOn of the community, and to make it thoroughly
understood by all traitors, their aiders and
abettors, that their rebellious acts must cease,
hereby, by the authority vested in me comman-
der of the Department of Annapolis, of which the
city of Baltimore forms part, do now command

business; that private property will not be inter
tered with by the men under my command, or al

far it may be used or be in course of prepara-
tioR to be used to afford aid and comfort to those in
rebellion against the Government, whether here or
elsewhere All which property, munitions of war,
and that fitted to aid and support the rebellion will
be seized and held subject to c0nfscation; and
therefore all manufacturers of arms and munitions
of war are hereby requested to report to me forth
with, that the lawfuness of their occupations
be known and understood, and all mscon-
structiOn of their doings avoided.
No transportation from the city to the rebels of
articles fitted to aid and support troops in the field
will be permitted; and the fact of such transporta-
tion, after the publication of this proclamation,
will be taken and received proof of illegal inten-
tion on the part of the consignors, and will render
the goods liable to seizure and confscation.
The Government being ready to receive all such
stores and supplies, arrangements will be made to
manufacturers of such articles of equipment and
clothing, and munitions of war and provisions, are
desired to put themselves in communication with
the Commanding General, in order that their work
shops may be employed for loyal purposes, and the
artizans of the city resume and carry on their
wonted prof table occupations.
The Acting Assistant Quartermaster and Com
missary of Subsistence of the United States here
stationed has been instructed to procure and fur
nsh, at fair prices, forty thousand rations for
the use of the army of the United States, and
further supplies will be drawn from the city the
full extent of its capacity, if the patriotic and 10y
81 .-;r--nL choose to furnish supplies
All assemblages, except the ordinary police, OF
armed bodies OF men, other than those regularly
organized and commissioned by the State of Mary
land, and acting under the orders of the Govern
or thereof, for drill and other purposes are for
bdden within the Department.
All officers of the Militia of Maryland, having
command within the limits of the Department.,
are requested to report, through their officers,
forthwith to the General in command, so that he
may be able to know and distinguish the regu-
larly commissioned and loyal troops of Maryland
from armed bodies who may claim to be such.
The ordinary operations of the corporate gov
ernment of the city of Baltimore and of the civil
authorities will not be interered with, but on the
contrary will be aided by all the power at the
command of the General, upon proper call being
made; and all such authorities cordially invi-
ted to cooperate with the General in command to
carry out the purposes set forth in the PrOcama-
ton, so that the city of Baltimore may be shown
and loyal to the Union, the Constitution, and the
laws.
No flag, banner, ensign or Device of the SC. called
Confederate States, or any of them, will be per-
mltted to be raised or shown in this Department.;
and the exhibition of either of them by evds-
posed persons will be deemed and taken to be evil
dence of design to afford aid and com fort to the
enemies of the country.
TO make it the more apparent that the Govern
ment OF the United States by far more relies upon
the loyalty, patriotism aud zeal the good citizens
OF Baltimore and vicinity, than upon any exhibition
of force, calculated to nmdate them into that obe-
dence to the laws which the Government doubts rot
will be paid from inherent respect and love of forder
the Commanding General has brought to the city
with him OF the many thousand troops in the imme-
diate neghborho0d, which mi ght at once be cOucen-
trated here, scarcely more than ordinary guard:
and, until il fails him, he will continue to RELY upon
that loyalty ard patriotism of the citizens OF Mary
land which has never yet been found wanting to
the Government in time of need.
The General in command desires to greet and
treat in this part OF his Department all the citizens
thereof as friends and brothers, having common
purpose, common loyalty, and a common coun-
try.
ANY infractions of the laws By the troops under
his command any disOrderlv or unsoldieriike
conduct, any inter ference with private property
he desires to have Immediately reported to him,
and he pledges himself that if any soldier so far
forgets himself to break those laws that he has
sworn to defend and enforce, lie shall be most rigor
ously punished.
The General believes that if the suggestions and
requests contained in this Proclamation are faith
fully carried out by the cooperation of all good
and UniOn-lovng citizens, and peace and quiet and
certainty of future peace and quiet, are thus re-
stored, business will resume its accustomed chan
nes, trade take the place of duness and inactiyi-
ty, efficient labor dspace deness, and Baltimore
will be in fact what she is entitled to be, in the
front rank of the commercial cities of the nation.
Given at Baltimore, the day and year herein
first above written.
