Proclamation of General Butler
General Butler yesterday afternoon
issued the
following proclamation :---
.
DEPARTMENT OF A NNAPOLIS,
Federal Hill, May 14, 1861.
A detachment of the forces of the
Federal Government under my coin-.
mand have occupied the city of Balti
more for the purpose among other
things of enforcing respect and obedi
ence to the laws as well as of the State
if requested thereto by the civil au
thorities as of the United States laws,
which are being violated within its
limits by some malignant and traitor
ous men; and in order to testify the
acceptance by the Federal Government
of the fact that the city and all the
well-intention portion ofits inhabitants
are loyal to the Union and the Consti
tution, and are to be so regarded and
treated by all.
To the end, therefore, that all mis
understanding of the purposes of the
government may, be prevented, and to
set at rest all unfounded, false and se
ditious rumors, to relieve all apprehen
sions, if any are felt, by the well dis
posed portion of the community, or
to make it thoroughly understood by
all traitors, their alders and abettors,
that their rebellious acts must cease, I
hereby, by the authority vested in me
as commander of the Department of
Annapolis, of which the city of Balti
more forms a part, do now command
and make known that no loyal and
well-disposed citizen will be disturbed
in his lawful occupation or business;
that private property will not be in
terfered with by men under my com
mand, or allowed to be interfered with
by others, except in so far as it' may
be used to afford aid and comfort to
those in rebellion against the govern
ment, whether here or elsewhere, all
which property, munitions of war, and
that fitted to aid and support the re
bellion, will be seized and held subject
to confiscation ; and therefore all man
ufacturers of arms and munitions of
war, are hereby requested to report to
me forthwith, so that the lawfulness
of their occupations may be known
and understood, and all misconstruc
tion of their doings avoided: No
transportation from the city to the
rebels, of articles fitted to aid and sup
port troops in the field will be permit
ted, and the fact of such transporta
tion after the publication of this proc
lamation will be taken and received
as proof of illegal intention on the
part of the consigners, and render the
goods liable to seizure and confisca
tion. The government being ready
to receive all such stores and supplies,
arrangements will be made to contract
for them immediately, and the owners
and manufheturers of such articles of
equipment and clothing and munitions
of war and provisions, are. desired to
put themselves in communication with
the commanding general, in order that
their work shops may be employed
for loyal purposes ; and the artisans of
the city resume and carry on their
wonted profitable occupation. The
acting assistant Quartermaster and
Commissary of Subsistence of the
United States here stationed, has been
instructed to procure and furnish at
fair prices, forty thousand rations for
the use of the army of the United
States, and further supplies will be
drawn from the city to the full extent
of its capacity, if the patriotic and
loyal men choose so to furnish supplies.
All assemblages (except the ordina
ry police) of armed bodies of men
other than those regularly organized
and commissioned by the State of Ma
ryland, and acting under the orders
of the Governor thereof, for drill and
other purposes, are forbidden within
the Department.
All officers of the militia of Maryland
having command within the limits of
the Department are requested to re
port, through their superior. officers,
fOrthwith to the General in command,
so that he may be able to know and
distinguish the regularly co imnissioned
and loyal troops of Maryland from
armed bodies who may claim to be
such.
The ordinary opcations of the cor
poration government of tho city of
Baltimore, and of the city authorities,
will not be interfered with, but on the
contrary will be aided by all the pow
er at the command of the General,
upon proper call being made; and all
such authorities arc cordially invited
to co-operate with the General in com
mand to carry out the purposes set
forth in the proclamation, so that the
city of Baltimore may be shown to the
country to be what she is in fact—pat
riotic and loyal to tho Union, the Con
stitution and the laws.
No flag, banner ensign, or device of
the so-called confederate States, or any
of them, will be permitted to be
raised or shown in this Department,
and the exhibition of either of them by
evil disposed persons will be deemed
and taken to be evidence of design to
afford and comfort the enemieS of the
country.
To make it the more apparent that
the government of the United States
by fhr more relies upon loyalty, pat
riotism and zeal of the good citizens
of Baltimore and vicinity, than upon
any exhibition of force calculated to
intimidate them into that obedience to
the laws which the government doubts
not will be paid from the inherent re
spect and love of order. The com
manding General has brought to the
city with him, of the many thousand
troops in the immediate neighborhood
which might be at once concentrated
here, scarcely more than an ordinary
guard, and until it fails him he will
continue to rely upon that loyalty and
patriotism of the citizens of Maryland
which has never yet been found want
ing to the Government in time of need.
The general in command desires to
greet and treat, in this part of his De
partment, all the citizens thereof as
friends and brothers, having a common
purpose, a common loyalty, and a com
mon country. Any infractures of the
laws by the troops under his command,
or any disorderly or unsoldierlike con
duct, or any interference with privato
property, he desires to have reported to
him immediately; and he pledges him
self that if any soldier so far forgets
himself as to break those laws that he
has sworn to defend and enforce, he
shall be most rigorously dealt with.
The general believes that if the sug
gestions and requests contained in this
proclamation be faithfully carried out
by the co-operation of all good and
Union-loving citizens, and peace and
quiet, and the certainty of future peace
and quiet, aro thus restored, business
will assume its accustomed channels,
*trade take the place of dullness and
inactivity, efficient labor displace idle
ness, and Baltimore will be iu fact
what she is entitled to be, in the first
rank of the commercial cites of the na
tion.
Given at Baltimore, the day and the
year first above written.
BENJ. P. BUTLER,
Brigadier General, Commanding the•
Department of Annapolis.
E. G. Parker, Lieutenant Colonel, Aid
de-Camp.
General Butler bad a long interview,
prior to the issuing of the foregoing
proclamation, with the Mayor and sev
eral members of the City Council. It
is said that the conversation showed
that the General was more intimately
acquainted with affairs here than many
supposed.
During the afternoon, Gen. Butler
made a formal demand on the city au
thorities for the delivery of a quantity
of arms stored in the warehouse of
John S. Gutings, at the corner of Gray
and Second streets.
Marshal Kane refused to deliver up
the arms without an order from the
Mayor was produced by the officer.—
Finally, after some altercation, an or
der was procured and the arms wore
brought out, making fifteen dray loads.
About two-thirds of the fire arms were
carbines and the rest flint lock mus
kets. There was also a largo quanti
ty of pikes.
A guard of Federal troops was placed
over the arms, and escorted by a large
number of police, they were taken to
the fort.
Governor Hicks replies to Mayor
Brown's charge that ho authorized the
destruction of the railroad bridges.—
lie denies the charge, and says, the
Mayor's communication and tho ac
companying certificates have induced
any person to doubt my true position
in the premises, and respectfully ask a
suspension of judgment, until a suffi
cient time be afforded me to collect
the necessary proof and show, as I
shall be able to do, most conclusively,
that the destruction of the bridges
was a part of the conspiracy of those
acting against the Government, and
was known and proclaimed in other
parts of the State, before the destruc
tion was consummated, but any person
who knows my opinion of George P.
Kane and Enoch L. Lowe, will at once
admit that I would, be very slow to
assent to any propOsition emanating,
from or endorsed by them. Their in
troduction into my Chamber at a late
hour of the night to urge my consent
to the perpetration of an unlawful act
was not calculated to convince me of
the propriety or necessity of that act.
Men do not readily take counsel of
their enemies.
The city is quiet this morning—num
bers of Massachusetts and New York
regiments are strolling through the
streets wholly unarmed. They are
generally in couples and have full con
fidence as they assert in the loyalty of
the city. Rumors are afloat that Gen.
Butler will make other arrests to-day
of those in high positions.
The first Regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers arrived hero this morning,
under command of Samuel Yoho. The
volunteers aro accompanied by heavy
batteries manned by regular troops
from the Carlisle,barracks. The whole
regiment will bo stationed along the
line of the road. Our city is now
guarded on all sides by the military.
The St. Louis Arsenal---Row it was
Stripped by an Illinois Volunteer.
[Special Deepatrsh to the Chicago Tribune.]
SPRINGFIELD, April 28
I am now able to give a complete
and accurate narrative of the transfer
of the twenty-one thousand stand of
arms from St. Louis to Springfield.
Capt. James H. Stokes, of Chicago,
late of the Regular Army, volunteered
to undertake the perilous mission; and
Gov. Yates placed in his hands the re
quisition of the Secretary of War for
ten thousand muskets. ' Capt. Stokes
went to St. Louis and made his way
as rapidly as possible to the Arsenal.
Ho found it surrounded by an im
mense mob, and the postern gates all
closed. His utmost efforts to pene
trate the crowd were, for a long time,
unavailing. At last he managed to
attract the attention of ono of the
guards by whom he sent for the Cap
tain of the Company stationed at that
part of the Arsenal yard, and to him
he made known that he was a bearer
of dispatches from the War Depart
ment. With some difficulty he was
admitted without attracting the par
ticular notice of the crowd. On reach
ing tho Arsenal proper, he learned
that Major Rayner, of the Ordnance
Department, had just been ordered to
Leavenworth, whither he bad gone on
the preceding day. He had been su
perseded by Major. Callender, an old
class mate of Capt. Stokes, at West
Point. A council was immediately
held between Capt. Stokes, Maj. Cal
lender and Capt. Lyon, the latter be
ing the officer in command of the rag
ular troops and volunteers. The re
quisition was shown. Captain Lyon
doubted the possibility of executing
it. He said the Arsenal was surroun
ded by a thousand spies, and every
movement - was - wittelreel-rtell-Yerperted-!
to the headquarters of the secession
ists, who could throw an overpowering I
force upon them at any moment.—
Capt. Stokes represented that every
hour's delay was rendering the cap
ture of the Arsenal more certain; and
the arms must be removed to Illinois,
now or never. Maj. Callender agreed
with him and told him to take them
at his own time and in his own way.
This was Wednesday night. Captain ,
Stokes had a spy in the camp of the
secessionists, whom he mot at inter
! vals in a certain place in the city. On
Thursday he received information that
Gov. Jackson had ordered two thous
and armed men down from Jefferson
City, whose movements could only
contemplate a seizure of the Arsenal,
by occupying the heights around it
and planting batteries thereon. The
job would have been an easy one.—
They had already planted one battery
on the St. Louis levee, and another at
Powder Point, a short distance below
the Arsenal. Capt. stokes immedi
ately telegraphed to Alton to have the
steamer City of Alton drop clown to
the Arsenal landing, about midnight.
He then returned to the Arsenal and
commenced moving the boxes of guns,
weighing some three hundred pounds
each, down to the lower floor. About
seven hundred inen were employed in
the work. He then took five hundred
Kentucky flint-lock . muskets, which
had been sent there to be altered, and
sent them to be placed on a steamer
as a blind to cover his real movements.
Tho Secessionists nabbed them at once
and raised a perfect Bedlam over the
capture. A large portion of the out
side crowd left the Arsenal when this
movement was executed ; and Captain
Lyon took the remainder who were
lying around as spies, and locked them
up in his guard house. About eleven
o'clock, the steamer City of Alton
came along side; planks were shoved
out from the windows to the main
deck, and the boxes slid down. When
the ten thousand were safely on board,
Capt. Stokes went to ,Capt. Lyon and
Major Callender, and urged them, by
the most pressing appeals, to let him
empty the Arsenal. They told him to
go ahead and take what ever ho wan
ted. Accordingly he took eleven
thousand more muskets, five hundred
rifle carbines, five hundred revolvers,
one hundred and ten thousand musket
cartridges, to say nothing of the can
non and a large quantity of miscella
neous accoutrements, leaving only sev
en thousand muskets in the Arsenal,
to arm the St. Louis volunteers.
When the whole wore on board,
about two o'clock Friday morning, the
order was again given, by the captain
of the steamer, to cast off. Judge of
the consternation of all hands when
it was found that she would not move.
The arms bad been piled in great
quantities around the engines to pro
tect them against the battery on the
levee, and the great weight had fas
tened the bows of the boat firmly on
a rock, which was tearing a bolo
through the bottom at every turn of
the wheels. A man of less nerve than
Capt. Stokes would have gone crazy
on the spot. He called the arsenal
men on board, and commenced moving
the boxes to the stern. Fortunately
when about two hundred boxes had
been shifted, the boat fell away.from
the shore and floated in deep water.
" Which way ?" said Capt. Mitchell of
the steamer. " Straight to Alton in
the regular channel," replied Captain
Stokes. " What if we are attackedr
said Captain Mitchell. " Then we will
fight I" said Capt. Stokes: "What, if
we aro overpowered?" said Capt, M.
" Run her to the deepest part of the
river and sink her," replied Captain S.
" I'll do it," was the heroic answer of
Captain M., and, away they went past
the secession battery, past the entire
St. Louis levee, and on to Alton, in
the regular channel, where they ar
rived at five o'clock in the morning.. -
When the boat touched her landing,
Capt. Stokes, fearing pursuit -by-some
two or three of the secession military
companies, by which the city of St.
Louis is disgraced, ran to the Market
House and rang the fire-bell. The
citizens came flocking pell-mell to the
river, in all sorts of habiliments. Capt.
Stokes informed them of the situation
of things, and pointed out the freight
cars. Instantly men, women and chil
dren hoarded the steamer, seized the
freight and clambered up the levee to
the cars. Rich and poor tugged to
gether with might and main for two
hours, when the cargo was all deposi
ted in the cars, and the train moved
off, amid three enthusiastic cheers for
Springfield. .
When Capt. Stokes reached this city,
he was so exhausted by sixty hours of
incessant labor and excitement, that
he fell asleep while endeavoring to re
count his adventures to Judge Trum
bull. Secession has now received its
fatal blow not only in St. Louis but
throughout Missouri.
When it became known that the
arms were gone, the St. Louis Repub
lican began to preach peace and neu
trality, the minute-men ceased brawl
ing for Jeff. Davis in the streets, 'and
Gov. Jackson began to advise against
calling the State Convention together.
While Capt. Stokes was taking the
arms, the Secessionists were planning
to capture the Government powder
house, about a mile below. It is re
ported here that they had seized it be
fore they became aware that the arse
nal was emptied.
Army Regulations
The following from the army regu

Hospital Conveniences
The Providence Journal publishes
the following directions which Major
Anderson lately gave some ladies,who
consulted him respecting hospital con
veniences:
The ladies had better not attempt to
furnish articles of food for the sick and
wounded. It would require thousands
of dollars in the first place, besides the
hospitals are all supplied with what is
necessary. However, if the ladies
would furnish the following articles
they would add greatly to the comfort
of the poor fellows who may be sick
and. suffering:
A large supply of Canton flannel
night shirts, large and long.
Green silk eye shades with, elastic
bands.
Common slippers of largo sizo.
Hospital knapsacks—they can be
found at No. 473 Eighth avenue, Now
York.
Field-stretchers—Alexander, No. 48
Webster street, makes the wood-work,
and Tyler, No. 25 Bast Broadway, the,
canvas part.
Ho (Major Anderson) says no one
can know but ono who has been with
an army in the field, the great comfort
and blessing the above-named articles
are to poor suffering humanity.
. ,
HOSPITAL Surpram.—Miss D. L. Dix,
who has been called by the Govern
ment to Washington, to assist in or
ganizing hospitals for the sick of the
different regiments, writes to a friend
asking aid for supplying the Pennsyl
vania Military' Hospita with the fol
lowing articles, which will be greatly
needed, viz. Long night shirts, made
of bleached or unbleaclied muslin, four
and a half to five feet low , , common
shirts of the same, flannel ''shirts, cot
ton flannel drawers, woolen socks and
handkerchiefs. Any or' all of these
articles, in any quantities, will ho found
acceptable, .E piece should .be

NOTICE TO VOLUNTEER NURSES.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6th, 1861.
—Persons devoting their strength and
experience on free services as Nurses in
the Military Hospitals, for the care of
the sick, and wounded, are very res
pectfully requested not to render them
selves immediately at head-quarters,
Washington City, but to send forward
collectively, from towns and cities,
their names, ages, whether beloW or
above thirty years, and places of resi
dence; and at the same time indicate
the period for which they determine
to devote themselves to this entirely
self-sacrificing, laborious service. It
is also earnestly requested that all who
propose taking up these arduous du
ties, and who are not now'fully quali
fied, should take practical 'instruction
in nursing, and report themselves
through the physicians and surgeons
of their ,town or city.. These suggest
tions are tendered to spare confusion,
and expensive journeys. At present,
there is general health-in - the army ;
but should epidemics appear, or serious
conflicts ensue, it will be needful to
summon voluntary, free ser vice nurses
at an hour's notice. Such -will please,
therefore, to bold themselves ready for
active duty. ,
Your Counsellor, by courtesy, in
Christian service.
