LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Lively TINES AMONGST THE MILF
TARY.-A squad of soldiers belonging
to the 9Th Md. Reg, who took a lot
of prisoners from Fort Delaware to Will
ming.on, bound for Washington, having
turned over their prisoners to a squad
awaiting them at the former city, pro.
eeeded to exchange for whisky the money
they lately received from the paymastcr.
The Purnell Cavalry were ordered to
arrest them, but experienced some diff
Gully In obeying the order, as they seiz-
ed every chance to escape or resist. In
the evening, the balls flying after fugi-
tives made it both unsafe and unpIeas ant
to be walking in the streets. A ball
fred ut one man was imbedded in the
door Of the Milliner store of Mrs. Dem
mis-, creating quite an excitement amongst
the occupants. Another ball struck an
iron awning post and glanced through
one of the splendid plate glass windows
of the famous Cheap John. We believe
they succeeded in arrestins nearly all
of them. Whisky, as usual, was the
cause of the whole disturbance. The
only person seriously hurt was a small
jackass in Cheap Johns window, which,
we believe, lost its tail.

Robbery Plotting.

A compensation BY the General Gov
eminent Of $40 900, 900, was offered to
the State Of Maryland for the benefit of
her Shareholders. The oraclcs of those
shareholders repelled the offer with in
dignation, declaring 1t an insult &c.
The car of progress moved rapidly on,
and the people of Maryland finally de-
clared that slavery being the cause of
the rebellion, must die, with or without
compensation to owners of slaves, it
wasn't material to .hcm which.
We now find mouth pieces of that ar
rent pretender, the slaveocracy, making
most strenuous efforts to place the bur-
then of paying the shareholders for that
which they refused to take pay for from
the Government, when the abolition of
slavery in the State would have aided in
the suhjugation of the rebellion.
Mr.. Sellman of the Maryland Senate
the other day, offered resolution re-
commencing to the Convention which is
to be called to frame new Constitution,
to make it an imperative duty for the
Legislature at its first session after the
adoption and ratification of the new Con-
stitution, to provide an issue of state
Bonds to compensate all owners of slaves
