SYMPATHY FOR SECESSION IN BALTIMORE.
"A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Baltimore en- the 2Oth inst, says
There has been somewhat of lively time at
Fort McHenfy On Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday last a number Of prison
ers had arrived from the hospitals at Frederick
and elsewhere. The charming rebel ladies of
Baltimore sympsthized with their friends in dis
tTess. They furnished them with good things to
eat and drink with blankets, and other com
forting necesssries. This was all well enough.
Every thing that went into Fort McHenry went
under pssses from General Wool, and of course
it seemed all right. But on Thursday and Fri
day other things began to sppeer-esnteens, ha-
veisacks, G. S. A. officers uniforms-sll uader
permission of General Wool. Then the men re-
beiled. There were some veterans of Gle Penin-
sula there-men who had fought and bled for the
stars and stripes-snd they revOlted against
sueh traitOTsus aid and comfort to the enemy.
They attacked certain carriages on Friday eve
ming, owned by Baltimore ladies', and filed with
these contraband goods. They destroyed the
goods, and damaged and turned back the car
risges. In Consequence Of these proceedings

Il is melancholy TO witness the lamentsble eff
lects produced upon Gsribsl1i's mind by his
wound, and still more by his captivity. His
procismations have at all times had tendency
to theatrical exaggeraton, "a common fault
among Italians but the frOthy nonsense which
be has lately published in the shape Of an sd-
dress to England must be set down at what it
really is-a tissue of vaporings, dictated under
the influence OF fever. The Italian papers re-
ceived to day contain another document from
