Baltimore Convention.
No passes TO civilians are now given, and
several who started for the army front on old

This morning Stanhope Gaweekie and Mary
Gaweekie, refugees from Augusta, Ga, pre-
sented themselves at the Provost Marshars,
and were released on taking the oath of allie
glance. Mr.. g. states that on the 18th ult
the rebel authorities issued an order prohibit
ing citizens from riding on the railroads from
the various points ia the South leading to
Richmond, in order to facilitate the move
ments of rebel tuoops, who were being hur-
ried up 10 Richmond in large numbers. At
the time Mr.. G. left Augusta, which was two
weeks ago, there were no troops stationed at
that point. Those that had been quartered

their way to reinforce Gen. Lee, and the ar
