From The baltimore inevioan, Oct 49,
We laet evening received the following note, IN
relation TO a card We copied on Monday from Tile
Harrisburg Patriot of Saturday last:
B.Lrizoxr, Oct ~, 1862
ANer en- interview with Gen. Wool have been satisfied
that ny incorrect in her statement concerning
that gentleman, which appeared in card Of the 2h ns.
usr CHARLES A. Hay.
Accommodating this card, we also take occasion TO
say that in an interview with Gen. Wool on MONDAY
he assured Us that the wounded prisoners broug TO
the city are under the control OF the Medical d.
rector; that the Rebel officers who are 30 often seen
on our streets are sent here from the Army Of the
Potomac on PAROLE and free 10 20 where they please,
but that be has compelled them whenever he has
been able TO find them TO start at once for Fortress
Monroe. We were also assured tEst those parties
who have been arr, sted charges OF disioyalty
and released by him have invariably been required
to take the oath OF alesisnee-iheir assertions "
the contrary notwithstanding.
In the course OF conversation we freely stated 10
Gen. Wool such Of the complaints made against bis
administration, as we had heard frequently rumored
through the city, most Of which he declared TO be
upfoupded lie also declared that the assertions OF
seces,ion.s that he granted them favors that were
denied TO Union men, are false. Tho loyal citLens
have TO fcvors TO ask of him. and the fact that his
Office is thronged with Secessonists seeking iavor,
he SAYS, 10 eyi fence that one Ia hunareo tnsi
are asked are granted.
Thi. much We feel called upon, in justice 10 Gen.
Wool 10 state 10 our readers. II quite NATURAL
however that our loyal citizens, when they remem-
Der tie tyranny 10 which they were subjected by
the dsloyal during the memorable week in April,
should feel mortified to sec aDy consideration extend
ell by officers Of the Government 10 those who fepu'
diate It's authority, ana would, II they had retained
tho power haze suppressed all loyalty here at the
point Of the bayonet. The fagi1iyes from Virginia
and Tennessee who throng the loyal states, and
those who It'll occupy their loatis-me piison', are
standing proofs a. TO the fate that would have been
meied out 10 the loyal citizens Of Baltimore.
Since the above was ia type We learn by DIS
patch from Harrisburg Pa, that tic Rev. Mr..
Hay was arrested and brought 70 tnis city yentr-
day by Proves, Guard sent by Gen. Wool lt
will also lie seen by repor, in our local columns
that Committee Of citizens, wbilo IN session last
nish, in relation 10 the military Government OF the
city, were arrested by Provost Guard and carried
10 lie Police Station. We seriously doub: whether
thee ceedinss will subdue tue dissatisfaction VI
our loyal citizens with tho military government ia
this city, or tend 10 increase the loyal sentiment la
our uidst.
