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.
