Maryland was as firmly on the side of

Butler became speedily Convinced thai

the decided minority and We're Obliged
TO make up for this by activity and
noise They had all the aggressiveness
while the quiet, orderly but equally de-
termined Union men lacked a leader
10 meet this truculent spirit on its own
ground. Butler was precisely the man
to cope with the situation. 1t was an
opportunity that he delighted in, and
he at once became more assertive and
unsparing than the Secessionists dared
be. The effect was magical in punctur-
ing the bubble and putting Maryland
in her true light. He started his men
out on the hunt for the more obstrep-
erous of the Secession leaders. and
among these arrested Ross Winans, a
wealthy ironworker and one of the lead
ing men of Baltimore. He gave out
that he proposed to hang Winans as a
traitor, and this had a strongly sober
ing effect. Winans had lately been de-
voting much energy to the completion
of steam-gun invented by Chas. s
Dickinson, and which it was thot was
going to work wonders in the destruc-
ton of the Northern invaders. 1t was
claimed for it that it would throw zoo
balls a minute a distance of two miles
and was mounted on a horSe-drawn
carriage. This was protected by cone
of iron having a slit at the apex thru
which the terrible gun worked. 1t was
supposed to be proof against a cannon
ball. while it would NOV down a regi-
ment like grass before n scythe. The
city of Baltimore bought the gun for
$500 for use against any troops that
might attempt to pass thru the city.
AS the sentiment changed rapidly in
Baltimore at that time, Marshal Kane
decided that there was danger that IT
might be turned against his friends, so
started 1t up the road to Jackson's men
at Harper's Ferry, but it had not gone
far when it was captured BY company
of the 9Th Mass. and put into position
to guard the viaduct over the Patapsco.
