Seizure of arms at Towsontown.
From a correspondence of the Baltimore Exchange, dated Towsontown, June 2, 1861, we find the following:
The first day of June, 1861, will be a day ever memorable in the military annals of this nation.
On yesterday the strongly fortified and almost impregnable city of Towsontown, containing at least one hundred citizens and a countless multitude of the canine species, was captured by the invincible heroes of Abraham Lincoln, led on by that able, experienced, and gallant officer, Major Straw.
Let Major General Picayune Butler hide his diminished head.
With three hundred valiant soldiers, the indomitable Picayune captured a pump; but the distinguished Straw, with only two hundred and fifty men, has taken a whole city and nearly frightened two old women out of their wits.
At half-past 12 the enemy made their appearance; one column advancing from towards the Relay House, about one hundred strong, and another from the direction of Cockeysv
St. Helena battery.
--A gentleman direct from this important work, near Norfolk, reports its completion as rapidly approaching, under the superintendence of Lieut. Welsh, aided by Lieut. H. Fisher, W. P. Gilman and Calvin Brittain.
The work is being executed in the most substantial manner, and will present a formidable obstruction to the landing of Lincoln's hirelings by sea.

Whipped on their own Dunghill.
--Upon comparing the vote given in the Trans-Alleghany portion of the State for and against the Ordinance of Secession, it is found that the Black Republican cocks have been crowing a little too soon.
The majorities in the different counties for secession foot up 23,015, while the majorities in those counties voting against the Ordinance only show 19,605, giving a clear majority against Lincoln and all his ideas of the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, of 3,410.
There are 61 counties in Trans-Alleghany Virginia; thirty-nine have given majorities for the Ordinance of Secession and only twenty-two against it. If we add the other Western Virginia counties embraced in the Valley-district, which gave majorities amounting in the aggregate to about 28,000 it exhibits a clear Western Virginia majority for the Ordinance of 31,000 votes.
What have the Union shriekers in Western Virginia to say now?

A Beautiful Government.
--Seward, Prime Minister, convicted of wilful falsehood and deliberate deceit on the testimony of a Judge of the Supreme Court--and President Lincoln pronounced a perjured usurper by the Chief Justice who administered to him the oath of office.
Are the supporters of such a Government patriots or gentlemen?--Fred. News.

Advices from Williamsburg state that it was the intention of Col. J. Bankhead Magruler recently to have advanced 2,500 men lown to Newport News, and to have driven the enemy from that place, but that one Bartlett, a Yankee timber cutter, who had lived in York county ten or more years, where he passed as a warm friend of the South, getting a knowledge of the plan, ran away from his house and went to Fortress Monroe, where he communicated the whole thing to the enemy, who, of course, immediately reinforced Newport News.
The enemy have taken to their legitimate calling when at home, having lately forcibly entered several houses beyond Hampton, and after robbing and taunting the inmates, broken up all the furniture, including, wherever found, costly pianos.
The latter is supposed to be a new way by which Mr. Lincoln hopes to restore the property and places belonging to the late United States, located within Southern territory.
