bAIIiAoRE, Octs ~.
The loyal citizens arrested last night
were taken on board the steamer Bali-
more, on which they proceeded down the
bay to Seven Foot Knoll, where they now
lie at anchor at the wharf There was
much excitement. The city police, who
were at the boat, were recalled, but were
forced to remain by cavalry force.
Governor Bradford reached the wharf
before the boat left, and was permitted to
have an Interview with Colonel Rich, one
of the prisoners, who is an aid to the Gov
ernor. On returning from the wharf, the
Governor Immediately telegraphed to the
President, denouncing the arrest as an
outrage, and demanding an unconditional
release.
Judge Bond also adjourned the Criminal
Court on account Of the arrest of its
Clerk, and declared his intention to 60
TO Washington to see the President.
DR.. Armitage and Peter SaverWein, a
committee appointed by the meeting last
night, has just returned from Washington.
They had an interview with the President,
who informed them that he had sent an
order to the War Department for their re-
lease, but up to the present hour no such
order is known tc have been received here.
In the meantime Judge Bond and Cover
nor Bradford have gone to Washington.
There is much excitement and indignation
exhibited here on the subject.

WASHINGTON SPECIAL.


Special to the Times:
Qusrtermaster General Meigs has re-
solved not to purchase any more Sibley
tents, on account Of the expense, but to use
the common cheap tent instead As the
latter furnish no facilities for furnishing
the necessary warmth during winter, this
is regarded as equivalent to declaration
that the army will not 60 into winter
quarters.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the 25th has
the following
The Federal feet off Galveston attacked
that city on the 4th instant.
A Federal steamer ran past the battery
at Fort Point under heavy fire, and laid
to at the Central wharf The battery was
then destroyed by the Confederate troops,
who marched to Virginia Point The
troops in Galveston left and went to the
same point.
The Federal steamers lying off Calves
ton, five in number, gave the authorities
Eve days to remove the women and child
rem, at the expiration of which time they
would shell the place, if not surrendered.
The cause of the attack was firing into the
steamer Harriet Lane by the guns of Fort
Point. The Harriet Lane steamed in un-
der o flag of truce, but went too far, and
was fired into.
The latest telegram from Galveston,
dated the 9th inst, says the Federals
landed yesterday again at the Point, but
have not permanently occupied it, having
EghalAaanal- -ess--of-u--Sa-ral dash. COZ.
Cook is engaged in removing such machin-
cry and foundry works as can be got of,
and 1t is not probable the enemy will find
much on the island of value.
Orders have also been issued to inform
the people that should our troops leave the
island communication will be cut off and
no supplies be allowed to enter the city
Measures are already on foot for rigid
police of the bay, and a cavalry force will
continually scour the main land. The de-
termination Of the military authorities
seems to be to confne the enemy to the bay
contiguous to the island.

A man who says he was taken prisoner
by the rebels several months ago and who
finally succeeded in obtaining his release
furnishes the following account of the Mer-
rimac No. 2:
have been in Richmond some time
During my stay, went on board the Mer-
rimac No. 2. She is thoroughly and heav-
lily iron-clad, and is in every way tough
customer.
She has been completed about q month,
and has made several trips to Fort Dar-
ling. She has as yet but one gun on
board. When 1 left they were about put
ting the remainder Of the guns on board,
and they intended to have them mounted
in about three weeks. The machinery of
the Msrrimac No. 2 works well, and she
can easily make eight miles an hour.
1t was for this reason that rebel officer
