Baltimore sympathized with their friends in

to eat and drink, with blankets and other nec-

went under passes from Gen. Wool, and
Of course it seemed all right. But on Thursday
and Friday other Things began to nppear-can-
teens, haversacks, c. S. A. officers uniforms :
all under permission of General Wool. Then
the men rebeled. There were some veterans
of the Peninsula there-msn who had fought
and bed for the Stars and Stripes they revolted
against such traitorous aid and comfort of the
enemy. They attacked certain carriages on
Friday evening" owned by Baltimore ladies,
| and filled with these contraband goods, de-
stroyed the goods, and damaged aud turned
back the carriages.
In consequence Of these proceedings Gen
Morris, commanding at Fort McHsnry, has
issued an order forblding any carriage to come
within the fort, and ordering strict inspection
of all articles brought by any parties to the
rebel prisoners.
The most energetic destroyers of contra>
band goods on Friday were men who had been
prisoners at Richmond, and who realized the
difference between the treatment of prisoners OF
war here and there.

Dear Express
It is with sincere regret that it falls to my lot
to report the death of two of our most prominent t
citizens-that of Mr.. Jos. Graves, and Mr.. j. M.
Shriver.
It appears that they, accompanied by a nephew
of Mr. Graves, and free negro, who has long

the creek. He gained il and swan about hall
way across, when he was overtaken by some OF
them, who pursued him in boat, where they
drowned him by pushing him under with their
oars. -
The negro gained the Creek marsh, sunk him.

ordered to halt, when be fled, and made good
