people met in caucus last night, and adopted the following | secession. But at the same time they resolved that it would resolutions: "Resolved, That we recommend to our respective States immediate secession. "Resolved, That we recommend the holding of a General Convention of the said States, to be holden in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, at some period not later than the 15th day of February, 1861." These resolutions were telegraphed this evening to the Conventions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. A third resolution is also known to have been adopted, but it is of a confidential character, not to be divulged at present. There was a good deal of discussion in the caucus on the question of whether the seceding States ought to continue their delegations in Congress till the 4th of March, to prevent unfriendly legislation, or whether the Representatives of the seceding States should all resign together, and leave a clear field to the Opposition to pass such bills, looking to coercion, as they may see fit. It is believed that the opinion that they should remain prevailed. LETTER FROM U. S. SENATOR YULEE OF FLORIDA. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1861. MY DEAR SIR: On the other side is a copy of resolutions adopted at a consultation of the Senators from the seceding States-in which Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida were present. The idea of the meeting was that the States should go out at once, and provide for the early organization of a Confederate Government, not later than 15th February. This time is allowed to enable Louisiana and Texas to participate. It seemed to be the opinion that if we left here, force, loan, and volunteer bills might be passed, which would put Mr. LINCOLN in immediate condition for hostilities; whereas, by remaining in our places until the 4th of March, it is thought we can keep the hands of Mr. Buchanan tied, and disable the Republicans from effecting any legislation which will strengthen the hands of the incoming Administration. The resolutions will be sent by the delegation to the President of the Convention. I have not been able to find Mr. Mallory this morning. Hawkins is in Connecticut. I have therefore thought it best to send you this copy of the resolutions. Resolved 1. That in our opinion each of the Southern States should, as soon as may be, secede from the Union. Resolved 2. That provision should be made for a convention to organize a Confederacy of the seceding States, the convention to meet not later than the 15th of February, at the city of Montgomery, in the State of Alabama. Resolved, That in view of the hostile legislation that is threatened against the seceding States, and which may be consummated before the 4th of March, we ask instructions whether the delegations are to remain in Congress until that date for the purpose of defeating such legislation. Resolved, That a committee he and are hereby appointed, consisting of Messrs. Davis, Slidell, and Mallory, to carry out the objects of this meeting. The preceding letter was found in Fernandina, Florida, upon the capture of that city in the winter of 1862, and the orginal letter was forwarded to the editor of the N. Y. Times by its correspondent who accompanied the expedition. The Times of Saturday, March 15, 1862, comments on this development: be imprudent for them openly to withdraw, as in that case And here is another plot of the traitors brought to light. These very men, on withdrawing from the Senate, urged that they were doing so in obedience to the command of their respective States. As Mr. Davis put it, in his parting speech, the ordinance of secession having passed the Convention of his State, he felt obliged to obey the summons, and retire from all official connection with the Federal Government." This letter of Mr. Yulee's clearly reveals that they had themselves pushed their Stat› Conventions to the adoption of the very measure which they had the hardihood to put forward as an imperious "summons" which they could not disobey. It is thus that treason did its work. Mr. James L. Pugh, member of Congress from Alabama, in a letter, Nov. 24, 1860-"made public his reasons for going to Washington," and taking his seat in Congress. He says: "The sole object of my visit is to promote the cause of secession." Douglas's Farewell Words. IN CHICAGO May 1, 1861. The election of Mr. Lincoln is a mere pretext. The pres ent secession movement is the result of an enormous conspiracy formed more than a year since-formed by leaders in the Southern Confederacy more than twelve months ago. They use the slavery question as a means to aid the accom plishment of their ends. They desired the election of a northern candidate by a sectional vote, in order to show that the two sections cannot live together. When the history of the two years from the Lecompton question down to the Presidential election shall be written, it will be shown that the scheme was deliberately made to break up this Union. They desired a northern Republican to be elected by a purely northern vote, and then assign this fact as a reason why the sections cannot live together. If the disunion candidate in the late Presidential contest had carried the un ted South, their scheme was, the northern candidate suecessful, to seize the Capital last spring, and by a united South and divided North, hold it. Their scheme was de feated, in the defeat of the disunion candidates in several of the southern States. But this is no time for a detail of causes. The conspiracy is now known; armies have been raised, war is levied to ac The telegraphic columns of the Times of January 7, 1861, complish it. There are only two sides to the question. Every contained the following Washington despatch: "The South-man must be for the United States or against it. There can ern Senators last night (Jan. 5) held a conference, and tel- be no neutrals in this war; only patriots or traitors! (Cheet egraphed to the conventions of their respective States to after cheer.) advise immediate secession." Now, the present letter is a report by Mr. Yulee, who was present at this "consultation," as he calls it, of the resolutions adopted on this occasion, transmitted to the said Finegan, who, by the way, was a member of the "Sovereign Convention" of Florida, then sitting in the town of Tallahassee. It will thus be seen that this remarkable letter, which breathes throughout the spirit of the conspirator, in reality lets us into one of the most important of the numerous secret conclaves which the plotters of treason then held in the capital. It was then, as it appears, that they determined to strike the blow and precipitate their States into The Representative from Florida. The Conspiracy in Maryland. * Marshal Kane, on his way to burn the bridges on the railroads to Philadelphia and to Harrisburg, sent this tele gram for troops: MARSHAL KANE'S DESPATCH TO BRADLEY T.

Order passed authorizing Col. Trimble to permit steamboats to leave for the eastern shore, to and below the Sassafras river, upon condition that in going and returning they shall not stop at Annapolis. April 23. U. S.

TO THE BARD OF POLICE: GENTS I hereby tender my resignation as a member of the police force of Baltimore. As an American citizen I cannot condescend to pull down the American flag. DAVID DANEKER, 26th April. Colonel Trimble instructed to allow shipments of breadstuffs, &c., in limited quantities, within the State; must use his liscretion: "Keep a list of parties shipping the articles, and quantities, and make daily reports." Gene al Stewart appeared and stated that he had information of 2,000 stand of arms having arrived at Camden Station, (Baltimore and Ohio railroad,) which he claimed as officer of the State. Reply, (Letter Book, page 111:) "A gentleman representing the house of W. T. Walters & Co., has just called. Their house has bill of lading for the arms, and desires to hand them over to the police depot solely for safe-keeping." April 28th-General Stewart notifies the Board that 2,000 guns were yesterday morning at Harper's Ferry, awaiting his orders, and that he had given directions for them to be forwarded to his orders. LETTER FROM GENERAL STEWART TO THE BOARD. HEADQUARTERS, 1st LIGHT DIVISION, M. V. To the BOARD OF POLICE OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE: Understanding that 2,000 of these arms, which arrived two of three days ago from Harper's Ferry, consigned to Mr. W. T. Walters, (but contrary to the instructions of Major General Harper, as he assures me in a dispatch,) are now in a warehouse at the corner of Second and Gay streets, occupied by your Board or by the city authorities, I, as the officor of the State of Maryland, commanding here, and agent of the State, to whom the arms were destined, require that the whole be delivered to my order, it being understood that I assume the responsibility of receiving those arms on account of the State of Maryland. You are aware that upon special application to me on behalf of the companies of Calvert county, I agreed to delivery of 120 of those arms." Extract from the reply of the Commissioners (C. Howard) to General Stewart-same date. "And you having also understood that a gentleman now in Frederick has full power to control or alter the destination of them, we were unwilling to exercise any authority over them. I showed you a copy of my letter to that gentleman from whom I have yet no reply." This was afterwards captured en route for Harper's Ferry. The argument of the rebels then was that otherwise Government would suddenly buy up and remove all the supplies. It had been determined to suppress the American flag, and the military had been put in array to put this through; videoer om Stewart to Howard, 26th April, and the reper of the Board in Letter Book. Letter referred to, Letter Book, page 116, to Senator Mason, dated April 30, 1861. MY DEAR SIR: Since I had the pleasure of seeing you I have had a good deal of annoyance in consequence of the irregular manner in which some of our townsmen obtained in your State some arms. I do not question their motives, but it was unfortunate that we had no information of what had been done by them until we learned it from you. Can you inform me whether these arms mentioned by General Harper are a part of the original quanuty mentioned by you, and of which I understand you have full power to control the destination? If so, do you desire General Stewart, as a military officer of the State, to receive them for its use? (Signed) CHARLES HOWARD. GOVERNOR LETCHER'S LETTER TO GENERAL STEWART. DEAR SIR: I called this morning to see you, having received a dispatch from J. S. Barbour, Esq., Alexandria, giv. ing information respecting matters in Baltimore. I have issued an order to General Harper to send 1,000 stand of arms to General Stewart. Stirring times in your State, Truly, JOHN LETCHER. THE ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $500,000. This ordinance (No. 22) was approved April 20, 1861, and a portion of the money expended. The following report, made April 4th, 1862, shows how: The Joint Select Committee, to whom was referred the resolution for the appointment of a committee “to examine and dispose of all papers and vouchers relating to the expenditure of money under the provisions of the ordinance for the preservation of the peace of the city, approved April 20th, 1861, to inquire and report what has become of the articles then purchased and in whose possession they now are, and also what disposition shall be made of the balance of the funds now in the city treasury," have discharged the duty imposed upon them, and submit to the Councils the following report, with accompanying resolutions: The duties imposed upon the committee were three-fold; first, to examine and dispose of all papers and vouchers relating to the expenditure of money, under the provisions of the ordinance specified; secondly, to inquire and report what has become of the articles thus purchased, and in whose possession they now are; and thirdly, to decide what disposition shall be made of the balance of the funds now in the city treasury. On the first head, your committee have to report that no "papers" have come under their cognizance, except a note addressed by Col. Henry A. Thompson to the Mayor, which accompanied a statement of his agency, in the capacity of Quartermaster General, in the disbursement of $55,000 of the money in question, and in which he claims to have saved a considerable sun for the city treasury, by efforts to prevent lavish expenditure, and by annulling numerous contracts and returning many articles already delivered. Your committee regard it as a cause of profound regret, that such an agency had not been carlier in action; but it is due to the gentleman referred to, to say, that he appears to have performed the difficult duties confided to him, with fidelity and discretion. Acknowledgments are also due to Col. Thompson, for a courteous nets, tendering any assistance in his power, in the examination of the "vouch ers," so far as his agency was concerned; but no occasion has arisen for making use of the proffered aid. The vouchers," as placed in the hands of your committee by the city Register, have been carefully examined, and found to be in due form, authenticated by the parties hav ing control of affairs at that period, and accounting for the expenditure of the gross amount reported, allowing for interest and the balance on hand. E.ch account has been singly inspected, the objects of expenditure have been classified, and present the results stated below. Having served the purposes of your committee in affording the points of information it was necessary to obtain, no other disposition of them seems necessary than to restore them to the custody of the city officer, in whose charge they properly belong, as vouchers for disbursements under the ordinance. The labors of your committee under the second head of instructions, "to inquire and report what has become of the articles then purchased, and in whose possession they now are," have resulted in the following classified summary of expenditures for different objects: From the above summary it will be seen that the expenditures for "Arms and ammunition" reached the large amount of nearly $25,000. The articles purchased include fixtures for cannon, carbines, rifles, muskets, pistols, swords, spears, drums, canister and grape shot, bullets, lead, powder, cartridges, caps and other kindred materials, the precise number and quantities of which, as nearly as could be ascertained, are given in the two following schedules: 1,217 carbines, from F. W. Bennett. 407 Hall's patent rifles, from Denson & Buck. 6 cutlasses, from Denson & Buck. 12 gun carriages, from A. & W. Denmead & Son. 3,285 iron spears, from A. & W. Denmead & Son. 2 muskets, from Levi Cromwell. 16 pistols, from Wm. Harris. 302 pikes, from Hayward, Bartlett & Co. 9 pistols, from Merrill, Thomas & Co. AMMUNITION. --lbs. powder, (value $1,526) from Foley & Bro. 8,194 lbs. canister shot, from A. W. Denmead & Son. 119 " musket balls, " Levi Cromwell. 21,000 caps, from Cugle & Co. 1 keg rifle powder, from F. Devlin. 2 bags balls, from F. Devlin. 2,000 caps, from F. Devlin. 4,958 lbs, lead, from Baltimore Water Board. 200 blank cartridges, from Green & Yoe. 2 boxes caps, from Green & Yoe. 1 bag shot, from Green & Yoe. 113 yards flannel, for cartridges, from 10,000 ball cartridges, from Wm. Harris. 10,860 800 do do do do do do Hoffman. do Poultney & Trimble. become of them, and in whose possession they now are." This investigation was attended with considerable difficulty, owing to the various changes which have taken place since the period of the purchases: the abdication of the former Police Commissioners, the absence of the Mayor, the substi tution of the United States Provost Marshal and his police force, and the seizure, by way of precaution, by the United States, of arms and military materials stored in different parts of the city. Many articles and equipments have undoubtedly disappeared; but your committee are enabled to present the following list of arms and other articles, furnished by Mr. James L. McPhail, Deputy Provost Marshal, which will account for a portion of the articles. Identification of those purchased was, of course, impossible: 38 rifles, found at the old City Hall. 3 single barrel shot guns. 1 double do 27 single do 2 double do 2 rifles. 49 Hall's carbines. 7 U. S. do 2 Hall's rifles. do do do 999 1 percussion musket. 1 ship gun. 2 six pound field pieces, mounted. 2 field pieces, complete. 20 rounds of canister shot. Of the above articles, (your committee are informed by Mr. McPhail,) the beds and bedding were distributed to the several station-houses, they having been found, on taking possession, to be generally destitute of such articles, and those found being in bad repair and very dirty. Besides the bedding thus appropriated, a considerable number of mattresses, some tin ware, &c., were transferred, with the approbation of the mayor, to the warden of the jail, for use at that institution, where they were much needed. A portion of the arms purchased by the parties who had control of affairs during the period of the "crisis" are still at Fort McHenry, where they were placed after seizure by the United States authorities. According to a return made to the mayor on the 12th of August, 1861, by Samuel W. Bowen, Captain of the Middle District Station, the following arms, taken by order of General Butler from the corner of Gay and Second streets, were then at Fort McHenry: 58 boxes, marked "Va. muskets," 20 in each box...... 1,160 66 Armory, do. 40 Hall's carbines, 20 in each box and 141 loose......... 13 Hall's rifles, 74 66 46 Minie muskets, percussion locks........ 38 old muskets, flint locks................................................................. 13 bags and 14 lbs. balls, from Merchants' Shot Tower. 23 66 3,031 cartridges, from Merrill, Thomas & Co. 8 boxes cartridges, from Merrill, Thomas & Co. 30,000 caps, do 349 lbs. of lead, from John Rodgers. do 66 27 new 66 percussion.. flint........ 50 Yager rifles......... 1 box accoutrements. 115 boxes pikes. 300 941 334 46 38 23 27 50 2,919 Of the above, issues to a considerable extent have been made by the United States authorities, and some have been returned to Denson & Buck. Your committee are obliged to Deputy Marshal McPail for the following statement of arms at present to be found at Fort Mcllenry: 60 boxes of pikes, containing 60 each. carbines. 11 64 300 carbines. 5 guns, 7 carriages, 13 rammers. It is understood that these articles, and such others belonging to the city as may be found in possession, will be restored by the Government of the United States as soon as their restoration is deemed compatible with a proper regard for its own protection. A few words more are necessary, in explanation of the remaining items of the summary. Of the amount charged to the "Marine and Navy," the principal portion is made up of sums expended on the hire and alterations of steam-tugs Hercules and Tiger, charges for use of the Potomac, George's Creek, and other steamers, amounting to $1,500 53, and $55 paid for the purchase of a boat and oars. The balance was principally expended in the payment of officers and "harbor police." The only articles known to be remaining from this department are a boat and oars, said to have been left in the care of John Henderson, Esq., and two spy-glasses in the possession of the city register. In the charges for "carpenters, bricklayers, materials," &c., is included a considerable sum, say about $1,250, for reconstruction of the bridge at Canton. Considerable quantities of bricks and lumber are also included, mostly used in the erection or repair of a "powder-house," of the locality of which your Committee are not informed. Wherever situated, if not retained in use, the second-hand materials may be of some value to the city. The payments for "rations," "pay-rolls," "horse and hack hire," "hauling," "armories." "advertising," &c., amounting in the aggregate to $23,106 35, represent so much outlay, from which the city reaps no tangible return. The amounts of $8,518 19 for "workmen on parks," and $2,000 for "indigent widows, sewing-women," &c., were withdrawn from the fund by special resolutions of the council and expended for the benevolent purposes designated. The charge for "interest," is a necessary result of the loan, authorized by the ordinance of April 10th, 1861. The remaining item is the "cash in bank" and this brings your committee to the third and last clause of the duties assigned them, viz: "to decide what disposition shall be made of the remaining funds now in the City Treasury." On this point your committee are unanimonsly of the opinion that the balance should be returned, pro rata, to the several banks from which the whole amount was borrowed, thus canceling so much of the city's indebtedness, and stopping the payment or accumulation of interest. In accordance with which statements and views, your committee respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: S. F. STREETER, JOSEPH ROBB, Second Branch. Resolved, By both Branches of the City Council of Balti timore, that the papers and vouchers relating to expenditures under Ordinance No. 22, approved April 20th, 1861, be restored to the custody of the City Register. Resolved furthermore, That the Mayor be and is hereby authorized and requested to have collected, at the earliest possible moment, the arms and military materials belonging to the city, in the custody of the U. S. Marshal, or elsewhere, and, reserving such as, in his judgment, may be necessary for public use, to dispose of the balance, and place the proceeds in the City Treasury. Resolved, By the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, that the Register be and he is hereby authorized and directed to repay, pro rata, to the several banks, the balance remaining on hand from the sum borrowed of them, under authority of ordinance No. 22, approved April 20th, 1861, "to appropriate $500,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for the defence of the city against any danger that may arise out of the present crisis." These resolutions passed both branches. THE LEGISLATURE CONFIRMED THE LOAN. The Legislature of Maryland passed the bill, reported by Mr. Wallis from the Special Committee consisting of the Baltimore city delegation, "to ratify an ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore appropriating $500,000 for the use of the city."
