Among the men whose names should never be forgotten, until they have been duly punished for the atrocious crimes in which they have involved themselves at Baltimore, Ross Winans, Thomas Winans, Abel of the Baltimore Sun, Kane, the Police Marshal, S. Teakle Wallis, and some others, are already known to the country. They are all traitors of the blackest dye, and amply merit the traitor's doom. We now learn the name of another of these conspirators to destroy the Union and ruin Maryland. It is signed to the following order served upon a peaceful citizen of Baltimore on Tuesday last: Baltimore, April 23. Mr. John T. Burgess:--You are hereby notified to leave the State of Maryland within twenty-four hours after receipt of this note from date, by authority of the Regulators' Committee of the State. W. G. H.

achusetts soldiers in the act of levelling his musket, when he rushed in his shirt sleeves from his shop, disarmed the man by main force, and killed him with the bayonet. Some thirty negroes engaged in unloading a vessel dropped their work and joined in the assault on the Massachusetts men, and did good work with their handspikes. Every shotgun, rifle, or boy's pop-gun for killing tom-tits, is brought into use throughout the State, and the sentiment is universal that no more Northern troops shall cross the State without fighting their way every step, and every rock and tree on the roadside will cover a sharp-shooter. This city alone has appropriated half a million of dollars, and a million more has been given by private subscription. Winans is running 700 men night and day, in his immense establishment, casting cannon, shot, and shells, putting up grape and cannister, and preparing other munitions of war; and every thing is moving on a grand scale. --N. Y. Evening Post, April 29.

Latest news by Mail. The following is a summary of the proceedings of the Maryland Legislature, as far as received: The Senate sat until 12 o'clock at night on Thursday, and all day on Friday, on the bill for appointing a Board of Public Safety. 1ts enemies opposed it with great bitterness and with all the expedients of delay; offering many amendments, and calling for the yeas and days. The only amendment adopted was one substituting the name of John B. Latrobe for that of Thomas Winans, who declined. The Senate adjourned without taking the vote. In the House of Delegates, the name of Outerbridge Horsey was inserted in the joint resolution appointing a Commissioner to Richmond, reported Thursday, and the resolution was passed unanimously. A vague dispatch from Baltimore, dated Saturday, speaks of the growing Union sentiment in the city, and great unanimity against the Board of Safety bill.

Alexandria is now said to be occupied by a thousand armed rebels. Yesterday afternoon a Washington volunteer, who ventured over there, experienced some rough handling. There is great rejoicing among the Massachusetts troops over the exploit which Col. Jones, of the Sixth Regiment, had performed.

Explanatory. --Thomas Winans, of Baltimore, has written a letter denying the statement that he had ever tendered the half million loan reported to the Marylanders; and declaring that the assertion in regard to manufacturing steam cannon for them is equally unfounded. With regard to the casting of cannon, balls and grape-shot, he adds the assertion is so far true that the same establishment was, with others in Baltimore, employed by the city authorities to furnish these articles, when they believed that the peace of the community required military aid. For this purpose the authorities made an appropriation of half a million dollars.
