The Head quarters under the charge ol the Board, when abandondd by the officers, resembled in some re spects a concealed arsenal. After public recog. nitlon and protest against tho “suspension of their function*,” they continued their sessions daily. Upon a forced and unwarrantable con struction ol my proclamation of the 28th ult., they declared that tho Police law whs suspended, and the Police officer* and men put off duty for the present, intending to leave the city without any Police protection whatever. They refused to recognize the officer* and men selected by the Provost Marshal for its protec tion, ami held subject to their orders, now and hereafter, the old Police force, a large body of armed inen, for some purpose, not known to the Government, and inconsistent with its peace and , security.

Iu re pour-e thereto, the stale of Georgia did, on the 2Ulh Marc , 1861, by an ‘ ‘rdiuHUi 00l her Conve/i'ion, ainborixu tho Couieileralo Stules of vmtricu to occupy, use and hold po**eHßion of all fort*, navy yards, arsenal*, custom house*, und other puhiio sites, w.ih their uppurteuMiuea, within the limn* of said State and lately in pus *e*sii nos the United tot itouof America, aid to repair, rebuild, and control theaumuat it* discre t.un, until the ordinance shuul be repealed by a convention of Ihe people of said State. By an other ordinance ot *aid date and authority, tho control ot uli military operations in a>d State having reference to, or connected with, questions between said States, or any of the Confederate stales of America, und powers foreign to them, was transferred to the Government of the Confed crate Siute* of America. Jn like manner was transferred tbe arm* and munition* of war sc quired from the United Staten and then remain ing iu the torts and arsenals. It was lurt* or provided that the Governor bo authorized to transfer to the Government of the Confederate State* uoh arm*, munitions of wur, armed vessel*, or steamer* belonging to said State*, a* iu hi* judgment might be expedient, andupou such lei ms a* should be agreed upon. Ihu Government ol the Cunftdura<.e State* wa* to become accountable fur ail such arm* and munitions of war u* nbould bo transferred. Ou tbe htb April, 1861, an ordinance was adop ted by South Carolina which, in term* of similar import to thut of the Staio of Georgia, transfer red to the Government ut the Confederate Slate* all tbo forts, arsenal*, cuatoin house*, navy yard* and other public site* in her limits. Though noton file iu the War Office, iny recollection i* that the arum und munition* of war were in like manner transferred. On the 2Utn March, 1861, the Stale of Texas, by an ordinance >A bur C*nv. ntion, in like man ner assigned to the Government of tho Confede rate Hutto* all tho forte and navy yards, arsenals and lighthouse* and their appurtonunces within her limits. Ou the ilth May, 1801, tho State of Arkausa* in convention, by ordinance, instructed und com missioned her delegates to the Provisional Con gress of the Confederate tales to cede, convey and transfer to the Government of the Confede rate Stutea of America the site, building and ap purtenances of the arsenal at Litle Rock, and the site, buildings and appurtenances ot tho hos pital at Napoleon, wt.h conditions umiexed, none of which probably affect tho use of the prop erty by tbo Confederate States. This power ha* not yet been exercised by the delegate.* commis sioned a* above siateu On the ftth June, IS6I, North Carolina, by or dinance of the State Convention, ceded to the Confederate States of A ineriea jurisdiction over the arsenul at Fuyclievilie,except thut civil pru nes* iu ull case*, utid suuh criminal process as may issue under the authority of tho .State of North Carolina, against any person or pursons rburgtd wiib crimes committed without said tract ot iund, may be executed therein, ami trausterred arse nals, luugasiiit-8, lc , till- into and posses.-ion of the lund* described, to the Goveu rm-i.t of the Confederate Stales.

Arms for Ks.ntlckv.—From oueontitled to full credit, we have advices that thu .Secessionists of Kentucky are receiving daily, from this city, supplies of Colt’s navy revolvers, and that in this way thov ore being pretty thoroughly armed with these effective weapons. They two purchased mainly, w are told, eingly or in parts, by pro les ional Union meu. In most case mere tools are employed to make tho purcha.ee, who are willing to take any oath that may be required, if they can on y got the pistol*, lo this way tho Disunionists arc preparing themselves for a fight, aud in many districts they have a decided ad vantage over the I uionists, in thin respect Our informant, who resides in Central Kentuoky, is anxious to have attention called to this matter, with a view to stooping tbe traffiio.
