The Federal forces — returning fugitive slaves — the steam gun — examining baggage — insults to ladies, &c.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Annapolis, May 27, 1861. I am enabled by a gentleman going direct to your city to send you a few lines from this point. The grounds and buildings of the Naval Academy are now occupied by the Thirteenth Brooklyn Regiment, Col. Smith, numbering about nine hundred men. They are mostly clerks from the city of Brooklyn,--genteel young fellows of good address, short wind and impassible legs.

The battery is a mere nominal affair, consisting of a circular shell of a building, two-thirty- two pounders and one or two howitzers; of ammunition for these pieces they have little or no

, and when the hour arrives for the volcano to burst, you will see a storm of fires welling up from Maryland that will compensate for the forced quiet we have heretofore been compelled to observe. The steam gun is now here, and an object of great curiosity to the Yankees. They flock around it every day, to study its points and seek, if possible, the problem which its inventor kept secret by preserving its most valuable parts. It is now as useless as so much iron, but I understand that Butler will shortly dispatch it to Lowell, Mass., his home, to be examined by some of the mechanics of that city. The papers are meanwhile fighting over the credit claimed by different detachments for its capture. Some two hundred men and a battery were engaged in the laudable enterprise, and the result of the exploit was a man, a boy, and a pair of mules. Between this place and the Junction, thirty miles distant, at intervals of two miles or thereabouts, are files of ten or twelve men, who
