Pennyalvanin and the Proclamation.
Gov. CuaTm is now in Washington, labor
ing to plase the military establishment of
Pennsylvania, in accordance with the provi
sions of the late bill, on the most formidable
footing. IL is supposed he will appoint Major
CHARLES J. Boone, of, Philadelphia, Adju
tant General, and will offer the important post
of Commissary General, or Quartermaster
General of the State, to Gem RII7BEN C.
HALE, of Philadelphia. Gen. HALE was a
strong Douglas Democrat during the last Pre
sidential campaign, and his recognition in this
important place indicates a determination on
the part of the Governor to make his appoint
ments, in this juncture, without respect to
party. Under the new militia bill of Penn
sylvania, military officers are at his disposal.
It is Supposed that ten thousand men will be
encamped in Pennsylvania one week from to
day.

pieta pre Mon for it fired all hea with
a commo purpose, and swept way
all minor erences of opinions, do ts,
and hoeitati a as a mountain to nt
sweeps the drif wood in its channel. Henc
_.ferth, let , no ins,.. doubt that the latent fires
patriotism burn as brightly - as eirlitliii[ it ieri
can bosoms ; that our country's honor and her
flag are still dear to millions of laithfnl hearts ;
that the triumph of the traitors who seek to
destroy the Republic, and to Jrample its en
sign in the dust, will be short-lived, and that
hereafter, the Star-spangled Banner will wave
in triumph from every contested point.
One sentiment new pervades all ranks and
Men who have hitherto been connected with
all parties. Bankers hasten to offer their
money, legislators to pass all needful laws,
Governors to call their States into action, and
thousands of brave soldiers to tender their
military services. Men and money sufficient
to conquer a haughty empire or to defend the
nation against a world in arms will be speedi
ly forthcoming. The National Government
has but to indicate its wants and wishes for
the vindication of our outraged honor to find
them enthusiastically responded to. Let Re-
hellion shrink back affrighted to its noxious
den, and the hopes of loyal Union men every
where revive. The destinies of our country
are no longer in the hands of its enemies, bat
in those of its friends, who will henceforward
have the power to firmly guide its destinies,
and to direct them in the channel which the
patriots, and not the traitors, of the land
select.
Palm x.zxss are being obliterated in our
State councils. On the passage of the mili
tary bill a few days since, a number of mem
bers recorded their votes in the negative, for
many reasons of their own. The outrage at
Charleston has changed the sentiment of these
gentlemen, and we find them anxiously co
operating with their former antagonists in an
effort to place Pennsylvania in her proper
military position. A resolution of Mr. TITET,
pledging the faith, credit, and support of the
Commonwealth to the General Government,
was introduced for the purpose of enabling the
Democratic members to place themselves right
before the country. The despatch says that
the best feeling exists between Republicans
and Democrats, all being ready to nerve in a
common cause. This is as it should be. We
want no divided counsels in Pennsylvania.
This is the hour for patriotism, and not for
partisanship.
IT is impossible to misunderstand the senti
ment of the people of Pennsylvania. In our
city of Philadelphia, there is but one senti
ment in all hearts, a determination to stand
by the Republic and to sustain the Admini
stration in the efforts it is now making to pre
serve the Union and maintain its integrity.
Major General PATTERSON, with cliaracteristio
promptitude, has issued his orders to the
Pennsylvania volunteers of the First Division,
directing the officers and men under his com
mand to adopt a rigid system of military in
struction, and to place themselves in a con
dition for immediate service. In all parts of
the city recruiting stations are open, and
volunteers were being enlisted by hundreds.
There is a feeling of patriotic enthusiasm
being manifested which we are grateful to
witness—a feeling which does honor to the
courage and loyalty of our people.
THE scams of yesterday show that it is
eminently desirable the people of our city
should all be deeply impressed with the im
portance of demeaning themselves, in this
period of general excitement, not only as
patriotic, but as peace-loving and law-abiding
citizens. We appreciate the intense feeling
which moves all classes, and we respect the
enthusiasm of loyalty which is everywhere
being manifested. But may not these popu
lar demonstrations lead to deeds of riot and
disobedience ? A mob is terrible, even when
animated by an intense devotion to the Union.
Nothing but unreasoning blindness led to the
demonstrations upon the home of General
PATTESSON last evening when he was gal
lantly striving to do his whole duty, and upon
the homes of other citizens equally devoted
to the Constitution and the Union. These
things should not be. Nothing is to be gained
by such unjustifiable manifestations, and every
citizen should desire that the laws of our city
should be respected and its dignity preserved.
0:7" The Secretary of - War has completed
his letter of requisition upon the States for
their quota of volunteers. Twenty-four
States, including Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and
Arkansas, are asked to furnish regiments.
New York will furnish seventeen and Penn
sylvania sixteen. Each regiment will contain
780 men, who must be in physical strength
and vigor, and between the years of eighteen
and forty-five. The officers and men will be
expeCted to take the oath of fidelity to the
United States. Each volunteer will be com
pelledto serve for three months, unless sooner
discharged.
Latest News from Abroad.
The intelligence from Europe, received
yesterday, is as late as the 3d instant. The
intelligence is scanty, but important. As we.
anticipated, England and Switzerland recog
nize VICTOR ElamAntrzr. as King of Italy. The
other great Powers must do the sane. It is
merely a question of time with them. Aus
tria, fearful of insurrection in many quarters,
and doubtful when and where GARIBALDI may
make a descent, is fortifying all her outer
dominions. Re appears nearly ready for
some great blow. Hungary is evidently on
the eve of revolt, and demands, like Ireland
under O'Corusznr., an independent legisla-
Imre and administrative government of its
own• Russian Poland, greatly dissatisfied
with the Czar's system, seems ready for re
bellion. From France there is no news,
which, the proverb says, is good news.
D7' Any number of rumors come flying
over the telegraph wires. By way of Mont
gomery we are told that Joss C. BEEeKm
=en has come out for secession. This is
very probable, and may be true. There is an
a b sur d gdurirrom Washington that Lieutenant
General Scorr has resigned. It is in no re
spect worthy of credence. His long an d
honorable career can never be tarnished by
such a dishonorable close.
0?' In the State Rouse of Representatives
Mr. Gaansu has introduced a bill changing
the mime of Palmetto street, in this city, to

but it is, nevertheless, significant of the feel.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from 66 Occasional."
Worrentiondenoe of The Prem./
W.BBlllBBlOll, April 15, 1861.
Those who have doubted whether we have a Go
vernment or not can now throw all their appre
hensions to the winds. We have a Governmene,
strong in itself and strong in the affections of the
American people. For weeks, under Mr Lincoln's
Administration, the Southern conspirators were
tolerated, whilst for months and years, under James
Buohanan's Administration, they were fed, flat.
tared, and encouraged. The part played by the
latter gave to disunion a certain temporary strength
whioh the new President so far acknowledged as
to allow the traitors in arms to conduct their trea
son up to the point of war. The blow struck at
Charleston on the 12th and 13th has solved all dif
ficulties. They are now left without an inch of moo-
ral ground to stand upon, Even their own people
cannot, in their hearts, justify the attack upon
Sumpter, while throughout the Border States, if
there ever was a Union party there, the opportu
nity is now presented, the argument and appeal at
band, by which the friends of the Union may rise
in their majesty and punish the eonapirators in
their midst, and at the same time display their
devotion to the Government of our fathers. We
feel the effect of the noble attitude of the Admini
atration in this crisis, in a thousand ways. The
infamous conduct of the conspirators has closed the
mouths of their sympathizers in Waehington, and
has fallen like a live coal upon the Northern heart,
firing it with such a determination to stead by the
Executive and his constitutional advisers, as has
no parallel in our history. The table of the
President, of the Secretary of War, of the
Secretary of the Navy, and of General Scott,
are covered with telegraphic despatches from
Governors, mayors, generals of brigades, co
lonels of regiments, captains of companies, and
men of all parties, offering their services and beg
ging to be enrolled in the ranks of the defenders of
the Republio. Of course you have received and
laid before your readers the direct and positive re
ply of President Linooln to the Virginia commis
sioners, and his eloquent proclamation calling for
seventy-five thousand armed volunteers, expressing
his determination to punish treason, and Convening
both houses of Congress on the Fourth of July next.
I have alluded to the effect of all these proceedino
upon the.population of the city of WaslOgan. Tt
is no longer a question whether c ap i tal can be
defended (rem attach' Th°4(nly question is, how
to dierojelif the thAllikEtrCho are offering to pro
-WHAT. In my opinion it is as impregnable as
Gibraltar itself—not alone in the troops, raga
lar and local, that are in and around
it, but in the awakened Union senti
ment among the citizens themselves. Seams.
Mon has seceded to private corner/1, and now is
heard of only in whispers, and seen in scowling
looks. As 'write I hear of new companies sponta
neously organised in all parts of the city. The
workmen of the navy yard have just passed my
door with MIIBIO, and the star-spangled banner
floating over them, on their way to the War De
partment, to be mustered into line; and the poor
laborers around the Capitol, many of whom have
had no work for months, have just organized a
second company, numbering more than one hun
dred men, and in their incapacity to purchase
their own uniforms, avow their eager anxiety to
enter the service in their work-day clothes. Last
week the National Rifles, the crack volunteer corps
of the town, so much admired on the occa
sion of their visit to Camp Patterson, York
county, a year ago, commanded by Cap
tain Smeod, a brave and aocomplished officer
of the regular army, held a meeting for the pur
pose of mastering into service under the order of
the Adjutant General. Some of the sons of our
boat nobility, warmed:up with the Secession fever,
set the example of disaffection, and ware enabled
to induce some forty-odd to resign when the oath
of allegianoe to the United States wee presented
This defection so thinned the ranks that the com
pany could not muster the required number of
men, and the company was not received ; but
when the fact became known that recruits were
needed to fill up this fine corps, more than enough
were offered, and at two o'clock this afternoon the
company, stronger than ever, went to the War
Department " Carrying the flag and marching to
the musts of the Union." Of all the changes in
public sentiment in these stirring times, the
greatest is that which has come over the city
of Washington. Everybody is for the Union now.
The flag of the thirty-four stars is multiplied in all
quarters. Men feel that they are resting behind
the battlements of a strong Government ; and
property, heretofore so timid, and, in some cases,
willing to entrust itself to the doubtful custody of
the Southern Confederacy, looks for shelter and
safety to the powerful agis of the regular military
and executive departments. Maryland, which
hes been beset and beleaguered bythe inyr
midone of Disunion, will , presently respond in
thunder tones to the call of the country. The
driving of the Secessiouists from the streets of
Baltimore on Saturday was bat a symptom of what
is coming. The plotters in the Virginia Conven
tion find the ground slipping from under their feet,
and are thrown into exetasies of rage and fear by
the murderous proceedings of the banditti at
Charleston, and the majestic and formidable atti
tude of the Government. If they attempt to car
ry Virginia out of the Union without referring
their act to the ballot-box, they will be denounoed
as traitors ; and if they go to the people with their
eaae, they will be crushed by a popular verdiet
unknown in political history. We have a Govern
ment and a Union. They are no longer fancies,
BUT FACTS ! OCCAIRONAL.

if_UMLEY, sus ILVIRIOAN 1311 1 1TATRICIL —Notwith
standing the storm of last evening, and the equally
stormy state of public affairs, there was an excel
lent and paying house at the Academy last night—
not the crowded one to which sle have been accus
tomed in bygone times, for the management of the
associated artists has wisely determined to limit
the favors of free admission to those alone who are
entitled to receive them, viz.: the public press.
Verdi's ever fresh and still popular opera of
" Ii Trovatore " was selected for the inaugural of
the season and the debut of our new American
oantatrice, Miss Isabella Hinkley, of whom so
much has been said and written, but of whose
merits the public were skeptical, inasmuch es we
have had a succession of American prima donni
who have risen little above the technical denomi
nation of " singing walking ladies," without any
pretensions to the qualifications of leading lyric
artiste.
gr At last we have an exeeption to the general rule,
and in the possession of-Miss Hinkley, an artist of
whom her native country may justly feel proud.
Young, beautiful, and elegantly graceful ; bright
eyes, and a faee beaming with intelligence, she
has all the personal requisites of an attractive stage
presence. Add to these a full, clear, and rich
soprano sfogatto voice, of great compass and
purity, exceedingly sympathetic and flexible, and
yet fresh and unworn, and a naivete of style that
is irresistible, and our readers will have some idea
Of the personnel of Miss Hinkley. Her success was
assured in her first oavatina ; theneeforward she
steadily progressed in the estimation of her audi
tors, and her triumph culminated in the delivery
of the miserere. She was frequently recalled
throughout the opera, and unanimously on the fall
of the curtain.
Of amuse, Brignoli and Bliss Phillips received a
cordial welcome on their re-entre, ae did also Sig
nor Ardavani, who replaeed Perri in the rede of
Ferrando (owing to the indisposition of the latter).
Signor Aidavani is an excellent baritone, with a
fine and telling voice, whom we remember here
many 888110318 since. The organisation of the aaso•
elated artiste is so well regulated that the sickness
of any one of its members cannot disarrange their
programme.

Bills of Discredited Banks Going
South.
Western Wild Cal banks have found a now Add
for their discredited paper. Interested parties
have been in Washington some days past, and have
revealed to capitalists (whom they desire to enlist
in their operations) that plans are in progress to
give the paper of these discredited Western banks
an extensive circulation in the Valley of the Mis
sissippi and throughout the seceded States. The
bills of thirty-two banks have been thrown out.
Many of these banks are based on Southern State
bonds; these bonds are now of little value in the
New York market, and the fall in their value has
affected the credit of those banks which were based
on these securities. To secure themselves from
loss, many of those thus interested in the discre
dited banks are sending their bank bills South to
purchase moveable property.
Good horses can be obtained in the valley of the
Mississippi, in Georgia, and other parts of the
South at forty dollars, and cattle not in a con
dition for the slaughter-Douse are equally low.
These are bought up and taken West, where their
value is much increased. They are paid for in
Western bank paper at par, that is worth only 50
to 75 cents on the dollar in New York. The ope
rators consider it a legitimate business, and as the
circulation is eagerly received South, in the dearth
of the money market, it is being freely sent off. A
banker from the West stated in confidence to a
capitalist here on Saturday, that he would get off
one and a half millions of Western paper in the
South, where it would be worth to him not len
than three millions of dollars, converted into
moveable property, whirl he would have brought
into the West.
Resisting the March of Troops.
The very general rumor of today is, that troops
from Pennsylvania and the North, going South,
will be radiated in Virginia and in Maryland when
en their way to the capital. Should any such at
tempt be made, the coutliot would be short but de
aided.
A New Field for Counterfeiting.
From information gathered from reliable sonnies,
it is quite certain that an extensive system of coun
terfeiting is now going on by a confederate band
in different States, who, controlling the modern
facilities afforded by the aid of scientific research,
are preparing an immense issue of counterfeit
money, so elosely resembling the originals that
detection will be next to impossible. Agents are
to travel through the Cotten States, and exchange
their counterfeit issue on tie best terms that will
secure an extensive circulation in the shortest
time.

the day.
It was moved that the Convention go into secret
session on the report of the eommissioners.
A debate followed, in which the President's
proclamation was the principal theme.
Mr. Scott, Mr. Preston, and other Unionists, de
clared that if the President meant to subjugate
the South, Virginia had but one course to pursue.
A difference of opinion seemed to exist only as
to whether to secede immediately or wait the oo•
operation of the Border StateS. It is believed that
these alternative propositions will be submitted to
the people.
Some of the members doubted the authenticity
of the President's proclamation, and in deferents,
to their wishes adjourned till to-morrow, when they
will doubtless go into executive session.
There is no doubt of ultimate secession now.
The Convention, to-day, presented an appear
&nos of anwonted gravity, all feeling that the
()this had arrived.
The people here are glamorous for seoesdon, and
accounts from the 'interior , represent the feeling as
thoroughly aroused.
A change of rentimant in the Convention is
clearly foreshadowed, and it is believed that s har
monious conclusion will soon be reached in secret

Major Anderson complimented Stevens, of the

fired the beat, but he did not think much of the
other fire.
The walls of the fort are not much damaged,
except in appearance, and almost as strong as ever.
Major Anderson says he expected aid from the
South Carolinians in putting out his fire, this
being nothing more than usual in civilised warfare.

THE SURRENDER AND EVACUATION.
[The following despatch from our spade oorre
spondent at Charleston amid hive been received
on Sunday, but wee delayed by the wires being
out of order I
Onsurasirron, April 14.—Your correspondent
did not reach this city until Saturday morning,
and coneequently lost all the effeots of the pyro
teohnio display of Friday night. Eye-witnesses,
however, declare that the eight wee truly grand.
The firing was terrible, and reached rte olimax at
10 o'olook at night. The heavens were obscured
with rain clouds, and the horizon as dark as
Erebne. The guns were worked with vigor ) and
their loud booming wan heard with great distinot
nese, owing to the wind blowing in shore. At
times a shell would burst In mid air, directly over
the doomed fortress. Daring the entire night
nearly all the streets of the city were thronged
with people, who also covered the house-tops, and
every available Epee on the battery, the wharvea,
and the shipping was occupied . The disohargee,
however, gradually diminished.
At sunrise the Olen& which had obscured the
night were dissipated, and the day was beautifully
clear and. the atr balmy and refreshink. The
streets were soon filled with citizens, male and
female, white and black, and young and old, from
the battery to the wharves. The steeples and
house-tope were favorite sites for spectators, and
they became well filled,
Only a few random shots were fired from the
batteries, Fort Sumpter occasionally replying. It
soon became apparent that the fortress to which
all eyes were riveted was on Are. A dense smoke
was seen gradually to rise above the ramparts.
Horne supposed that It wee merely a signal mode
by,Mej9N to iliaiv in the IIIANNE h .-
The 'easels, however, continued quietly riding at
anchor in the offing. Soar vessels could be clearly
distinguished, ranged in line directly over the bar,
and apparently blockading the port completely.
Their long black hulls and smoke.staoks proved
them to be 'United States steamers. Every one
anxiously awaited the Issue, and the suspense was
very exciting. Will they oome on and engage the
batteries? was the query of every one, and Pet
troone if they do not, ?es the response Every
one, of the thousands occupying the battery, folly
expected the engagement to become general. By
the aid of glasses it was thought that a movement
had been made to this effect by two of the war
ships, and it was generally supposed that we should
soon see the sand flying from the Morris Island
batteries.
At 10 o'olook the general attention became
riveted on Fort Sumpter, the interior of whioh
was beyond a doubt on fire. The flames soon bunt
through the roofs of the houses within the walls,
and the dewed =eke and flame leaned In TO
lames. At this time seemly a gun Was fired
from Port Sumpter. The guns on the ramparts
were not fired. The soldiers could not maintain
their position, as the bunting shells and grape
were scattered like hail over them, driving the
artillerymen under cover.
From the iron battery, at Cummings' Point, a
continuous tire Was kept up. Its rifled cannon
played sad havoo with that portion of, the fort
facing it. The fire from the floating battery was
also very regular.
Standing on the battery in Charleston, looking
seaward, you have on the right the mortar battery
and Fort Johnson, nearest the city. At a dis
tance of two miles and a half, and only a mile and
a half from Fort Johnson, is the iron battery at
Cummings' Point, mounting three ten-inch °ohm
binds, three sixty-four pounders, three mortars,
and one rifled cannon. Cummings' Point is only
1,500 yards from Fort thuppter; and it van well
be imagined what havoc , the regular fire oreated
when directed against the walls of the fort. The
men working the guns were perfectly protected by
the sand redoubt, which was scarcely injured by
the weak fires Major Anderson directed against it.
This battery was commanded by Major Stevens,
of the Citadel Cadets. Under his direction, each
shell found its destination within Fort Sumpter,
and during the entire bombardment scarcely
one missile of this character• missed its mark.
On the other side of the harbor stands Fort
Moultrie, presenting one of its strongest sides to
Fort Sumpter. During the past three months this
side has been strengthened by every appliance
that military art could suggest, and its meat, gia
els, embrasures, eto.; perfectly proteoted the weak
walls of the old fort, and made the gunners secure
while at work. From this point, throughout the
engagement, vast numbers of hot shot and heavy
balls were discharged.
Behind the point of Sullivan's Island nearest to
Charleston the floating battery was stationed, with
two 64 and two 42-pounders, with its impenetrable
sides of iron and palmetto logs. While every shot
from it told, the men were so secure in their posi
tion that they indulged in the soldier pastime of
oards, and five-cent ante, euchre, and bluff were
played by those off duty at the guns. The mortar
battery at Mont Pleasant is five hundred yards
from the floating battery, end mounts two mortars,
`which were in good range of Sumpter. From this
the shells were thrown with great prodsion.
The reader now has all the positions of the works
bearing dire& ly upon Fort Sumpter, which through-
Friday morning were all in activity.
Anderson's barraoke were three times set on
fire, and twice the flames were extinguished, but,
to accomplish this, there was a necessity to employ
all his force in drawing water, and to do this it
was necessary that some of his men shomdci go out
side of the walls, and, after filling the buckets,
hand them to those within through the port.holes,
exposed to the terrific fire of the batteries. This
expedient was not resorted to until the fire had
broken out the third time and the dames had
raged to an alarming pitch, and in the meantime
his guns were silent, while his enemy was active.
Tho men were not allowed to be exposed but a few
minutes, but were ordered in when the shot from
the batteries became too thick.
At noon the flames burst from every quarter and
many of the port-holes.
Cruaratsros, April 15.—When Major Ander
son's quarters were burniog, General Beauregard
sent offers of assistants before the white flag was
run up.
Cot. Wigibll received the sword surrendered by
Anderson, and then complimented his bravery by

gratuitously to newsboys, and hawked about the
streets. The publisher of the paper with this oh.
noxious title is said to have been identified with
certain other enterprises, not Strictly in haEllolly
with the popular feeling, and some rabid spirits
determined at the first opportunity to demolish
his establishment.
Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, the report was
circulated among the immense crowd at Third and
Chestnut streets that a Palmetto flag (not the
paper) had been displayed from the windows of the
°Moe of Dean & Co. The report seemed to stir the
pent-up wrath of the people into fury. Au indis
criminate rush was made up Chestnut greet, and
a larger crowd was formed by accessions from every
direotion. In a moment they had cleared the land
lag of the printing *Moe soresaid, and rushed up
the atairway. Boma little difficulty occurred veto
the locality of the obnoxious I roes, and in the
meantime, the proprietor and men rallied at the
top of the stairs, and weapons were drawn upon
the intruder,. This exasperated them to the
last degree. They poured into the building
by hundreds, and had Inflicted some violence pppy
parties that worked therein, when Chief Ruggles
entered with a posse of men, including all the
lieutenants, and the rooms were cleared. Mayo:
Henry then gained admittance to the building,
while matters outside ware in their stonniftt
guise.' He placed himself at the front window in
full view of the Crowd, apparently greatly ex
cited. Hie appearance was greeted with cheers.
Boon after the arrival of the Mayor, a small Ame
rican flag wag plioed in his hands, and he waved
it from the window. Thie act excited the enthu
siasm of the crowd to the highest degree, and as
soon as the Mayor could make himself beard, he
made a brief and appropriate speech. Pointing
to the flag, he said that the cheers given for the;
emblem of the national Union were a sufficient in•
dictation of the patriotism and loyalty of the pes•
pie of Philadelphia. Tristan could not lift its
head in this city, and, so help him God Almighty
it never should exist here while he, as Mayor of
the city, could prevent it. That flag was an em
blem of Government, and he called upon good oiti
sons, who loved their country and its flag, to testify
their loyalty by going to their respective places of
abode, and leaving to the constituted authorities of
the city the task of protecting the peace and the
prevention of every act which could be construed
into treason to the country. The Mayor Continued
in this strain for some time, and be was constantly
cheered with the greatest enthusiasm.
A large and handsome flag was then procured,
and the Mayor, unfurling it from the window
again appealed to the people to respect it, and to
show their devotion and loyalty to the flag and
the laws by peaceably separating and going to
%heir homes,
A rope was obtained, and the Mayor, aided by
Mr. Montgomery, stretched the bunting across
the street amid shouting and clapping of hands.
The Mayor and flag were cheered over and over
again, and the crowd slowly thinned away, bat a
large number of persona continued to loiter about.
The pollee force on duty was auffiolent to prevent
any serious violence
During the height of this melee a number of per

ens EVENIXO 6177/91 ATTACKID.
It wag evident, before the riot at this place had
commenced, that some sort of organisatioa had
been obtained among the leaders of the pasty. A
sigpal was given by these, and the forge, now num
bering several thousand men, ran with shrieks and
shouts down Chestnut street to Third, waving
aloha, and otherwise exhibiting a spirit of mis
chief which augured more terrible manifesta
tions of popular vengeance. The surviving cells
of an extinct dynasty, known as the Events g
Argus, is located here in a small brick structure,
opposite Dock street Hare the crowd seemed to
direct their energies ; for the Argus was the only
daily office in the vicinity which had not shown a
Rag. The officers again intercepted the populace
at this point, and obtained possession of the doors
and windows. Loud galls were made for a flag,
and a committee of the leaders of the mob gaining
access to the office demanded of the establishment
the running out of a Rag in three minutes under
penalty of seeing the building gutted. The tram
toting Acids within, themselves responsible for
much of this violence, hastened to comply with the
popular demand, and the stare and stripes were
Bung from an upper window. Having hooted the
establishment, and cheered the banner, the crowd
proceeded elsewhere.
The Sunday papers have not heretofore been
provided with spangled bunting—a fact which
operated mush to their detriment yesterday
morning. The people not understanding why
thee° arum shou/d withhold their banners while
the daily offices around them were flaunting with
ensigns, first turned their attention to the office of
the Transcript. The alert of this establishment,
taken by surprise at the appearance of such a tre
mendous crowd, rushed up the etairwav with a
hatchet in his hand. The mob instantly mistook
bins for their leader, and the narrow stairway was
thronged in an instant. A peremptory demand
was made for colors. and one of the ProPrieton
recollected that a moll shilling flag was oosoealed
in the waste-room. Be mounted to the front win
dows with this and proposed three cheers for the
Union, which ware given with tremendous unc
tion. The Dispatch, the Mercury, and the Atlo
were likewise visited by committees, and before a
half hour bad elapsed every building in Third
street, from Chestnut to Walnut, was half hidden
with banners.
TR SOUTEER2! MONITOR MORBID
A papsr with this title was formerly published
at Dook and Walnut streets. It became the next ob•
jeot of indignation, and some dye tbolusard people
went rapidly toward it, yelling, cursing, and ere
orating. They made the same formal demand
Upon men in the building for a flag, but, u the
office has long ban removed from this pleas, and
the paper damaged, they found nothing to assail.
The intelligence was then given that the Monttor
had removed its 'offioe to Goldsmith% building, in
Library street, below Nth. Thither ran the
crowd, filling the streets from curb to curb, and
jostling madly against each other upon the pave
ments like a torrent. It was also found that the
ilironstor wail not published at this building, and,
attn!' flag had been exhibited, the people retired.
Their next visit wee to the office of an alleged
AGENT Pell TEE sonenzna Arum,
'muted in Decatur street, near Jayne. This indi
vidual, it was said, had posted a placard of his se
ining profession in Independence Hall. Irritated
to the last degree, the people rushed upon the
mrtablishment, but found it surrounded with police
officers, who took complete possession of the street.
A lieutenant satisfied them that no snob station
was maintained at that place, and a committee of
the ringleaders was permitted to enter the piece
to make any examination that might be desired.
The crowd then turned into Chestnut street, and
demanded of the proprietors of the several hotels
along that thoroughfare that the colors should be
run up. The demand was cheerfully complied
with at every place, end the proprietors generally
coupled their response with proposals for cheers
for the Union and its defenders.
The office of The Press, in Chestnut street, near
Fifth, hid not displayed its colors OR account of
the abeam* of a flagstaff from their building, but
one of thoolerks anticipated an appeal to their pe•
triotism, liy climbing over the awning with the
Star-Spangled Danner wrapped around him. The
people give nine cheers here for The Press and its
proprietor.
A second effort was then made to gat the . 4 4rgu:

The crowd then gathered in front of the post office,
on Dock street, and demanded that the Stars and
stripes should be thrown out. Thera was come :
delay before this could be complied with, m Donee
queues of there being no tlag about the poet-office
building. One was procured finally, and it wse
run out amid the amen of the populace.
