company is now full, and ready to march at
any time. Prior to the depg ture of the
Fagle Guardg, they marched t.' the Court
Ilouse to bear some parting prayers and ad-
dresses, but the room was soon filled to over
flowing, and great numbers were compelled
to remain outside. .In view of this, the
meeting adjourned to the Court House Yard,
where some interesting exercises took place.
Prayers were offered by the Revs. Switzer,
of the M, E. Church, and Bower, of the
Baptist. Addresses were delivered by Judge
Linn, Rev. Mr. Vondergreen, and H. N.-
Allister, Esq. At the close of Mr. M.'s
remarks, he offered the following resolution,
in compliment to the ladies of Bellefonte,
who have done and are still doing so much
to soothe and alleviate the anticipated suffer-
ings of those gallant spirits, who have so
nobly volunteered to sustain the honor of
our country’s flag:
Resolved, That the Ladies of . Centre
county who have eneouraged their brothers,
song and husbands to respond to their coun-
try’s call, by enrolling themselves as mem
bers of the ** Bellefonte Fencibles,” «* Eagle
Guards,” and *¢ Cameron Guards,” respect-
ively, have manifested to the world that the
spiritof 70 still actuates the daughters of
the women of the Revolution, and have ens
titled them to their country’s gratitude and
their country’s praise.
The resolution was most enthusiastically
adopted.
The Guards were then arched oft in
good order to the various hotels for dinner,
and took their departure immediately after
the meal was over.

The War Excitement on

Three Thousand Troops in Harrisburg.
| Special Correspondepce of the Phila, Bulletin ]
HarrisBurg, April. 19—104 o'clock, p. M.
—Without exaggeration, it may be said that
Harrishurg is fairly wild with excitement. —
The news received by telegraph this after-
noon, of the attack made on volunteers,
while pasging through the city of Baltimore,
and the subsequent despatch that the Arse-
nal at Harper's Ferry had been destroyed by
our troops in order to prevent it from falling
into the hands of the enemy, brought the ex»
citement to a pitch that it is difficalt to sup-
pose any other event in the history of our
struggle can exceed. The telegraph offices
and the office of an afternoon paper was be-
sieged by the pullic, eagerly seeking for
any additional information that was to be
obtained, while upon the streets and in the
hotels the subject was discussed in the most
vehement wanner. Add to this the stir oc-
casioned by each additional arrival of a
hundred or more volunteers with the picre-
ing tones of the fife and the jarring notes of
the drum, and you can easily imagine what
I mean when [say the town is wild with
excitement.
Amid all this tumultuous talking and
fierce gesticulation, the State Government
came in for a large share of reproach. And
as the war of words waxed high, the excited
crowd inquired why, in view of the condi-
tion of matters and things, the order was
not given by the Governor to send oft the
recruits, and strengtien the forces of the
volunteers who have already gone South, in
case of an attack on the City of Washing-
ton. Then there sas forced upon them the
conviction of a truth—one which the public
has known all along, but which in the ex-
citement of the moment they forgot, that
with but a few exceptions none of our vol.
unteers are armed, and that there are np
arms here with which to farnish them. This .
is a lamentable fact at the present crisis.—
There are no arms here, and notwithstand
ing the repeated despatches of the State
Department to the proper authorities, none
have arrived yet. This morning the Gover-
nor received a telegraph of to-day from
Pittsburg, (not Philadelphia, as the tele
graph of to-day makes me say,) that five
thousand stand of arms were on their way ;
‘but up to the present hour of writing, noth-
ing had been hard congerning them.
Wishing to get the .latest information, I
stepped up to the Executive Department a
few minutes ago, and was there informed
that a special despatch had just been re-
ceived stating that 5000 stand of arms left
Pittsburg this evening, and would arrive
here to morrow morning at an early hour ;
also that a thousand arms would arrive from
Philadelphia at the same time. This is
good news to the volunteers here, as many
of them feared that they would be obliged
to leaye without being suitably armed, de-
pending upon supplies at Washington, and
thag then, in the case of an attack being
made upon them at Baltiraore, they would
fall easy victims to the violence of a mob.—
As soon a8 these arms are received, a large
number of troops will be mustered and im-
mediately despatched South.
The camp ground to day presented a very
animated appearance. The .tents all day
long have been hauled from the arsenal, and
the soldiers have been busily employed in
erecting them, and in making beds of straw.
Stores and cooking .utensils have been sup-
plied in number. and camp life is commen-
ced in earnest. ‘Besides this, a large quan-
tity of provisions are being stored away,
and every exertion is made to secure .the
comfort of the troops.
At 8 o’cloek, this evening, the number of
soldiers who are encamped amounted to
about, 1750 men, while in the town, quar-
tered at the hotels and boarding houses,
there are about a thousand more. Camp
orders, regulating the troops, have been is-
sued by E. C. Wiliams, Brigadier General
in command, and the strictest enforcement
of the-rules is adhered to. No soldier is al-
lowed te be out of hig tent after nine o'clock,
and all lights must be extinguished “atv the
{ap of the drum. Special hours are gota part
| for the admission of visitors ; ‘but an order
from the Governor admits me.at all-hours,
by which mgans I am enakled'to obtain ev-
ery information. Her TE
gp : -
I have mentioned that Camp Curtin has
been named in honor of the Governor, and
it was his intention to review the troops this
afternoon ; but as T telegraphed he was com-
pelled to leave for Philadelphia, at noon,
where his presence was indespensable. The
probability ig, that the review will take
place to-morrow or during the early part of
next week. 2 : :
The executive department is thronged at
all hoars with indiyiduals seeking interviews
with the Governor upon military matters,
and to so great an extent is this carried,
that this morning I waited two hours at his
room before I could obtain an opportuity to
speak to him. So numerous are the de-
spatches received by him to which answers
sre required, that this morning a telegraph
wire was placed in the Governors office,
so that now messages can be transmitted
direct.
It is but proper to add that it is to the
kindness of Thomas A. Scott, Esq., Vice
President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, that
the Governor is indebted for this act.
Offers of volunteer companies are made
from every quarter, but the complement re-
quired of this State, being now made up,
the Governor refused ther services, simply
advising them to neglect no oppertunity in

THE BALTIMORE MOB.
Philadelphia has, within the last few days
been the theatre of important military moves
ments, The city has a sumed the appears
making themselves proficient in military
tactics, until the time arrives when they |
may be needed more than at present.
An incident has come to my notice which |
seems to illustrate the patriotism of the men |
of our State. Recently, six brothers, (some |
of them married men) enrolled themselves in |
the several volunteer companies recruited in
Harrisburg, for the purpose of marching to
the defence of the National Capital. Before
entering the ranks they had a miniature ta-
ken, representing the brothers on one plate,
which they presented to their mother as a
mewento of their love and patriotism — |
Surely it was of such men that the Roman
mc ther proudly exclaimed, ‘These gre my !
Jewels I”?
The appearance of some of these volun-
teers, as they enter the city, strongly speaks
to the heart of tha object that has brought
them here. They come clothed in the
coarsest fabrics, and that scantily enough in
some cases, Under their arms they carry
a pair of new brogans anticipating, as it
were, the demand that may be made upon |
their feet in marching, before they get thro;
while in their hands they sling an old leather
Lag, containing a change of raiment or an
extra shirt or two. At the side of some of
them, strapped to their waists, dangle old
swords, which, perhaps, were wielded by
their forefathers in the first great struggle
for American liberty, while others carry old
muskets, of a half a century ago make, on
their shoulders, all of thew seemingly de-
termined to use what means have been pro-
vided them, to the best of their ability. And
then of the pistols, the Colt's revolvers and
other weapons, thrust inte their pockets, at
the last moment, by parents and friends.—
Who ean tell 2 ;
There was a rumor afloat this afternoen,
that all the armed troops would leave for
Washington during the night ; but es yet
it is without foundation. The Curtin Guards
I know, marched from the camp to their ar-
mory, where they supplied themselves with
arms, and then marched back to the camp
ground. I have no doubt, however, but
that on the return of the Governor, this ru-
mor will be verified.
After I enclosed my telegraphic despatch-
es to day, several other companies.of volun—
teers arrive 1, some of them armed. Others
have been arriving during the night. Fifieen
hundred troops from Uhio, are telegraphed
as about to arrive at gnidnight. Between
this and morning. there will no doubt be a
large accession to the forces already here.
The State Capital Band ser.paded a num-
ber of public men and all the volunteers, in
turn, last night. The expense was gencrally
defrayed by Messrs. George W. H. Smith,
Robert Randall, Charles L. Goehring, Rich-
ard Wildey and Oscar Thorpe.
At a meeting of the German citizens of
this place, held last night, a series of reso-
1itions were adopted, pledging their fidelity
to the Constitution of the United States.
It 1s with difficulty that the names of the
dificrent companies are obtained as they ar—
rive ; §s in many cases they neglect report—
ing to the proj er authorities, so that no rec-
ord is to be had, rave by being on the spot
at the time—an absolute impossibility when
you are somewhere else. I have no doubt,
whatever, but what with the arrivals I have
already telegraphed, together with those
volunteers on the camp ground, there are
three thousand troops now in this town wait.

ance of the city which was threatened by an
invading army, and where niue-tenths of the
men were hurrying to arms to drive back
the invaders. Recruiting and enroling are
going on upon all sides, and there are
litterally *“ wars and rumors of wars.”” One
of the most mortifying incidents of the week
was the return home of General Small’s
Washington Brigade, composed entirely of
Philadelphia troops. This body of men
went from Philadelphia with the Sixth Reg-
iment of Massachusetts, yesterday morning,
and they came in for a share of the ill.treat-
ment heaped by the Baltimore Plug Uglies
upon the Bay State volunteers. The Phila.
delphians were entirely unarmed, and they
were, of course, unable to con‘ead with
an immense mob of armed ruffians. They
were brutally treated, and finanly sent tak
to Philadelphia by the authorities of Balti
more. They reached home at a late hour
last night, and proceeded at once to theif
rendezvous in the Northern Liberties, where
their arrival created the most intense excita -
ment. The feeling of indignation was ex.
treme.
Lieut. Haines, of Company A, of the in-
sulted Brigade furnishes Some facia relative
to the disgraceful riot. From his account
it appears that the train, consisting of sev
entcen cars, reached Camden Station, (with-
in the. city limits of Baltimore,) without
encountering any obstacle. It was about
half-past leven o'clock when it haulted in
an open space.
The first cars were cccupied by the armed
Massachusetts troops, who at once disem-
barked and formed into line a short distance
from the railroad. A few secessionists wers
spectators and expressed the:r dislike to the
volunteers by throwing missiles at the cars
and using objectionable epithets. The m
increased in numbers, and finglly- engaged
in a dipute with the Massachu®its Regiment
which resulted in the infliction of injuries to
the parties named. The New England men
became incensed because their flag was tora
and the mob fired stones and became violent.
Finally the troops started to march away,
and #8 they did so the collision occurred.
The cars being left to themselves, an inters
val of nearly three quarters of an hour
elapsed. It was impossible for the inmates
to say why the train was not moved, but
the supposition is that the authorities of the
road knew that the track ahead had been
torn up, and did not think it advisable te
proceed. All this time the crowd was
increasing, and it became so bold that am
attack was made upon the cars, the inmates
of which, (with the exception of the Massa-
chusetts Regiment,) had retained their seats,
* Stones, bricks and pistol balls poured in o
the frail structures. The window glasses
were demolished, and the woodwork began
to yield. For protection the volunteers
threw themselves upon the floor of the cars,
and in many cases secured the doors witl
such fastenings as were at hand. Then
were no weapons in the party, and no rep!
was made to the assault. It was during
this unprovoked outrage that the injuries
were inflicted upon the persons who have
been reported as wounded. r
This species of warfare continued until
an official, which our informant believed te
be the Baltimore Chief of Police, appeared
upon the scene. Under his instructions the
unfortunate volunteers were crowded into
as few cars as possible, the riot in the mean-
time continuing in all its force. !
A man in military clothes, on horseback,
then succeeded in calming the mob, by tell.
ing them that <¢ the volunteers in the cais
were prisoners of war, and would immedi:
ately be sent back te the North.’
As soon as possible a new locomotive was
attached to the train, and it moved towards
Philadelphia. At short distances it picked
up volunteers, who, in the melee. had escap-
ed from the cars and _gralked homeward.—
Some of the secessionists attached a flag ol
the Confederate States to the engine, but it
was taken down almost immediately. and
before the cars had acquired much headway.
The rest of the trip to Philadelphia was
devoid of interest, except that at Wilming«
ton General Small was called for, and is
reported to have responded in a brief speech.
