The Hessians at Baltimore.

‘ A search at the Marshal's office is going on. A large quantity of arms and ammunition have been found secreted in the cellar, in the walls beneath the floor, etc. Several of the guns were supposed to have belonged to the Massachusetts soldiers who were disarmed by the mob on the 19th April.

’ Gen. Banks has issued an order to Colonel Kenley, in which he says,

‘ "You will take special notice that in my proclamation of today neither the law nor the officers appointed to execute the law are interfered with in any manner whatever, except as it operates on the members of the Board of Commissioners and the Chief of Police. Every officer and man, with the exception of those named above, will be continued in the service in the positions they now hold, unless they shall refuse. In such case the Provost Marshal is to select others to fill their places."

’ Among the articles found at the Marshal's office was a 12-pound cannon ball, bearing the inscription, ‘"from Fort Sumter--to Marshal Kane."’
