arrested. The opening of the session was
attended chiefly by Union men, and after
rigid examination but nine secession MEM
bers were found in the city. These were
arrested with the clerk of the Senate, and
sent to Annapolis, according to my orders,
on the 18th inst, under guard, and safely
lodged on board of government steamer
in waiting for them. OF their destination

No meeting of the Senate occurred, but
three Senators were in town, and these
were Union men. Three subordinate Off
GERS of the Senate, the Chief Clerk and
Printer of the House, and one or two cit
izens, were also arrested, but released after
the departure of the members for Annapo-
lis-upon taking the oath of allegiance.
Milton Kidd, Clerk of the House, is in
the last stages of consumption, beyond the
power of doing harm. and was released
upon taking the oath and making solemn
declaration to act no further with the Leg
islature under any circumstances whatever;
this course was adopted upon the urgent
solicitation of the Union members of the
Legislature present. The same parties de-
sired the release of r. C. McCubbin, of
Annapolis, upon the same conditions. [
telegraphed to the commander of the
steamer that he might be left at Annapolis
under sufficient guard until the orders of
the government could be ascertained.
Col. Ruger, Bird Winconsin regiment,
my aid de camp, and detachment of
police, rendered efficient aid. Sufficient
information was obtained as to preparations
for board, etc, to lead to the belief that
the attendance of members would have
been large had not the arrests of some of
the leaders been made at Baltimore on
Saturday and Monday, before the day of
meeting.
regret the attempt at Frederick was
not more successful.
