igred in our City , State, and the Atlantic, States, mince
the departure of the last steamer to California.
Two of the gallant soldiers entrusted
with the defence of Harper's Ferry were
killed by the rebels of that place during their
retreat, after they had destroyed the public
property to prevent it from falling into the
bands of the Secessionists. But the soldiers
of the United States will not much longer be
nnavenged victims of cowardly and merciless
foes. The time is rapidly coming when blows
can be given as well as taken.
ilg" The mail train from Washington ar
rived here at the usual hour last night. No
portion of the track along the .route had been
injured. Gen. Stasa's regiment has returned.
Two of his men were killed during the riot,
and a large number wounded. Thus the blood
of our own townsmen has already been shed.
The police of Baltimore took great pains to
protect them, but their passage through the
city to Wltebington, without arms to repel the
fierce assaults which were made, was mani
festly impossible.
The Secessionists Baffled.
The arrival at Carlisle, of Lieut. JONES, who
was lately in cm:nand at Harper's Ferry, sets
at rest all doubts in regard to recent events
there. Finding that the Capture of the armory
was inevitable, be destroyed all the munitions
of war and the public buildings, so that the
attempt to gain by stealth a large quantity of
the national arms has been completely baf
fled. The treasonable game which was too
long successful has now been effectually
blocked. Henceforth patriots will be as ener
getic and vigilant as rebels.
The Ac lion of City Councils
The prompt and patriotic action of our City
Councils, in providing for the relief of the
families of the volunteers, and for the pro
tection of Philadelphia, cannot be too highly
commended. It is hard, even yet, to fully
realize that a terrible war boa been corn-
menced i that within a few hundred miles are
deadly foes thirsting for our blood; and that
some of the pliant soldiers from Massachu
setts, who passed through our city on Thurs
day evening, on their way to the capital, have
already been killed by a brats] Secession mob.
No time should be lost in preparing for every
possible contingency, and in showing the
desperate rebels that we can be as terrible
and determined in war as we have been amica.
ble and industrious in peace. They have
hurled upon us every imaginable provocation,
and plied every traitorous art against the
welfare, liberty, and the very existence of our
country. We must meet and baffle them, or
be forever undone.
The Impending , Conflict.
Each new day intensifies the prevailing ex .
citement, and adds to the dangers which Me
nace the country, but, fortunately, increases
in a still more rapid ratio its means of defence
and the concentration of its mighty energies
and resources for patriotic purposes. On
Saturday last Fort Sumpter was evacuated;
on Monday the proclamation of the President
calling for 75,000 volunteers was issued, and
before a week has elapsed more than double
that number have tendered their services, and
prepared to turn their- ploughshares into
swords and their pruninghooks into spears.
Such a spectacle has never before been wit
nessed in any part of the world; bat it is becom
ing manifest that, notwithstanding all the extra
ordinary alacrity that has been displayed, the
national capital, which should be so completely
defended as to render any idea of attacking it
absolutely ridiculoris, is in danger, because, in
a great measure, it is open to the inroads of
the rebels, while its communication with the
North has been seriously interrupted.
So confidently have we relied upon our
mighty strength, and so neglectful have we
been of the many premonitory warnings of
the long-impending conflict that has at length
burst forth, that it is not singular our Govern
ment should, for the present, he surrounded
with some serious embarrassments. The
whole nation is realizing the terrible result.' of
the treason which was long permitted to quiet
ly consummate its plans unchecked, and which
at once endeavored, as far as possible, to para
lyze the friends of the country by depriving
them of arms and munitions, and to aid and
strengthen its enemies In their treasonable
schemes by providing them liberally with the
weapons of the Federal Government.
Against a foreign enemy we would have had
ample time to prepare after a formal declara
tion of war had been made, and all our defences
could have been put in a. proper condition.
But the warlike stores which the War Depart
ment had been quietly preparing for many
years for a sudden emergency, instead of now
being ail available for the conflict which has
been precipitated upon az, are actually the
Chief reliance of our assailants. History fur
nishes few or no parallels to perfidy like this.
Never has the confidence of a generous and
magnanimous people been more shamefully
abused. Never have men, ambitions of mili
tary reputation, and professedly jealous of
their honor, proceeded more bite thieves in
the night to consummate their plans. With
professions of peace, and of honorable inten
tions, issuing from their bps, their hearts
have been rotten to the core with treachery,
and their brains have been busy in devising
schemes to place the nation at the mercy of
dastardly rebels. The plot which Azatoin
attempted to execute on a small scale at West
Point, has been carried out to a gigantic ex
tent ender our own eyes, in our own era, by
traitors in high places, in whom confidence
was unfortunately reposed. He merely en
deavored to place an enemy in possession of
one fortification, but our modern AuNOLDS
have placed dozens of them at the mercy of
our antagonists, and designedly armed rebel
lion and disarmed patriotism.
But regrets now are vain, and ,
allusions to
the-past are only useful so far as they instruct
and admonish us in regard to the duties of
the present and the preparations we should
mate for the future. We must at once, recog
nizing the deadly and terrible nature of the
struggle in which we are involved, summon
up all our energies to prosecute it to a sue
easeful termination. The Whole population
must prepare to assist, as best they can, for
the time has arrived when it is necessary that
nary man should do his whole duty.
We need soldier's not only by regimeMs
and thousands, but by tens and hundreds- of
thousand& We need for them arms and mu
nitions, the manufacture of which will busily
employ all the establiihments capable of pro
ducing efficient Weapons;
_and the sooner they
make the necessary arrangements to meet the
great demand which exists for all the appli
ances of war, the better. We need ample
supplies of food and clothing for these whO
will enter into the contest to fight their
country's battles; and in a thousand witysAhe
Ordinary business operations, which have
heretofore related exclusively to peacattil
enterprises, should new be directed, as much
as possible, towards aiding and abetting the ..
straggle for oar`national existence and for our
country's honor, that has been forced upon
us, and towards crippling the energies and
resources of our deadly foes. -
There can be no doubt of the eventual tri
umph of the loyal citizens of this Confederacy
over those who have so rudely and wantonly
assailed it, for the patriots of the land have
not only right but might upon their side. Yet
WO Mat not forget that treason has been
quietly, but resolutely and actively, preparing
for this contest for many years, while it has
been sapping and undermining our available
strength at the outset of the conflict, and
while we have been treating with contemptu
ous indifference its noisy threats and boister
ous demonstrations. We must now compen
sate, by superhuman diligence and activity, for
Our former neglect and tardiness. We must
be as resolute and energetic in our action as
we were supine and over-trustful in our repine).
We must be as terrible and destructive in war
as we were mild and indulgent in peace.
But let not the present power of our an
tagonists be underrated. No geod, general
despises the resources of his foes. We lost
all the public property in sin of the rebellions
States. The conflagration is now rapidly ek-
tending up to our very doors. In Virginia
the acme system of spoliation which was in
augurated in the Gulf States has been com
menced, but so far it has not been attended
with equal success. In Baltimore, against the
wishes and efforts of the authorities, the pas
sage of our troops to the beleaguered and
threatened capital has been resolutely opposed
by a riotous mob, soon of their blood has
been shed, and an unarmed regiment has
been compelled to return, because it was
not prepared for an unexpected struggle in
what was deemed a friendly city. But with
thens&nds of troops on their way tO Wash
ington, who are armed to the teeth, and with
a superabundance of military energy and Skill
among our soldiers and officers, surely the
latter will devise and the former carry into
execution some plan which will save us from
the disgrace of the capture of the capital by
the rebel forces. This is no time for delay.
Every moment is precious—every hour big
with events; and those who are fully equal
to the responsibilities and demands of this
memorable occasion will be forever honored
in history and praised by a grateful country.
The Approaches to Washington.
Our vigilant correspondent, "Occasional,"
telegraphs us that the communications be
tween Washington city and the Northern
States will be kept open at every hazard and
under all circumstances, even if, on account
of the riotous demonstrations at Baltimore,
and the brutal attack upon the volunteers in
that city yesterday, it should be deemed inex
pedient to send further detachments through
that city. Any number of troops can be sent
by ships to Annapolis, and from thence travel
by railway, or on foot, to Washington. The
distance is but about forty miles. While, we
believe, the citizens of Baltimore will, for
their own sakes, as well as from a regard for
the protection of the capital, assist in repress
ing all such fearful demonstrationi as broke
'eat yesterday, we are, fortunately, not
placed at their mercy, and have the satisfac
tion of knowing that the National Capital can
be effectually reinforced by another route,
even it, as the telegraph states, Gov. Mess
refuses to permit the passage of any more
troops through the Monumental city.
Whether the many rumors of threatened
attack upon Washington are trite or false we
must still be prepared to render it impregna
ble. And, after its safety is secured, all
further movements, which are essential to the
salvation of the country, can be prosecuted
with unflagging zeal and with perfect confi
dence in their ultimate success.
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter from '• OCCUSIOneII."
(Correspondence of The Preis.]
Wesananos, April 19, 1861
The first volunteers from a distant)e arrived last
evening, from Pennsylvania, consisting of the fol
lowing companies
The " Ringgold Light Artillery," of Reading,
one hundred end eight rank and file. Captain, Jaa.
McKnight; First Lieutenant, Henry Nagle; Se
cond, Lieutenant W Graeff.
The National Light Infantry, of Pottsville, one
hundred and three rank and file. Captain, B. Mo•
Donald ; First Lieutenant, James Russel ; Seoond
Lieutenant, R. L. Cake, editor of the /Ifinswg Re
cord (Straight Douglas); Brevet Second Lieuten
ant, L. J. Martin.
The Logan Guards,. of Lewistown, eighty-five
rank and file. Captain, John B. Selheimer ; First
Lieutenant, Thos. M. Rulings; Second Lieutenant,
F R. Sterrett.
The Allen Infantry, of Allentown, fifty strong,
commanded by Captain Yeager.
The Washington Artillery Company, of Potts
ville, Schuylkill county. Captain, James Wren ;
First Lieutenant, David A, Smith; Second Lieu
tenant, Francis B. Wallace; Third Lieutenant,
Philip Nagle; First Sergeant, Henry C. Russel.
These are noble companies, composed of patriotic
young men, and representing all Masses and con
ditions of society. That commanded by Captain
McKnight, and those'from Pottsville, under Cap
tains Wren and McDonald, were increased over
one hundred by one or twe days' recruiting. The
Secretary of War did not receive the despatch in.
forming him of the approach of the Pennsylvanians,
but as soon as he heard they were in town, be sent
them at once to the Capitol building, where I
found them about half-past ten o'clock at night.
It was an interesting sight to see the hall of the
House of Representatives in possession of the brave
sons of old Pennsylvania, who came here at a mo
ment's notice to defend Washington from assault
Each of the luxurious arm chairs, lately filled by
the representatives of the people, was occupied by
a soldier, sound adeep. Captain McKnight, who
ran as the Republican candidate for the
short Congressional term, vacated by the
death of the lamented Schwartz, of Barks county,
was asleep in the Speaker's chair, while his two
first officers were reposing in the chairs at the
Clerk's deek.:iitte gallant Captain did not sup
pose he —woad elect himself a member of the
"House when he was defeated by Me.llicKenty,
and his patriotic response to the call of his coun
try was a happy. commentary upon his own sab
mission to the will-of the people, and his earnest
readiness to maintain the Government in its de
fence of the laws: It was a curious sight, this
converting the splendid hail into a garrison, and
it awakened many strange reflections. As I
passed round among the sleepers they awoke at
the sound of my deps, and I soon recognised a
number of old friends. Here, among the:privates,
was the son of Dr. Muhlenberg, of Lam:taster, one
of the connections of "Devil Pete" Muhlenberg,
who fought like a tiger in the Revolution, the
game blood as the first Speaker of ibis very Howe,
and a descendant of that M elchior
Mnhlen
berg. the clergyman , who, in Woodstock, liFir
ginia, after preaching to his congregation,
threw cli his surplice and disolosed the uniform
of the buff and the blue, telling his congregation
that there was a time to pray and a time to light,
and the time to fight had come. Sabbath day as
it was, he immediately prooeeded to enroll a coin
party on the green before his village church. This
is the blood enlisted in the regiments
nia is offering far the defame of the Jag of the
thirty-fotir States. I noticed present, also, as a
private, Edmund L. Smith, one of the ablest men
of the Reading bar, a member of the Legislature
of great distinction, a Democrat of the straight
Douglas school, who would have come here
alone to offer his services if his corps had
not volunteered. The first lieutenant of this
flue corps is another Democrat, Henry Na
gle, deputy sheriff of Berks county, and the
second lieutenant, Wm. Gruff. I observed
among the rank and file some very young men,
suns of well-known oitizens—young George Ba
wl, son of Isaac Eckert, president of the Ferment'
Bank; young George B. Lerman, son of our well
known straight-Douglas leader, George M. Lan.
man ; young Pearson, son of the distinguished
lawyer. Bat I have no time to enumerate. The
captain of this splendid carps, James McKnight,
is a retired merchant of very large wealth, who
has made his company the darling, object of hie
life, and is modest and unpretending as he is .
donb tn
tedly brave.
Among the Pottaville troops are numbers of
leading men and their sons.
Gen. Wm. H. Irvin, of Mifflin county, marched
-as a private in the ranks of the it Logan Guards,"
from Lewistown, Pa. General Irvin was with tke
Pennsylvania volunteers in Mexico, and was bre
vetted for gallant conduct at Churnbusco and
Moline del Rey. He is presented by hie company
for the post of Colonel of their regiment. The
Guards number eighty.five men, and are quar
tered in the south wing of the capitol. They re
port that the Bellefonte Peneibies of Centre county,
Dr. John B. Mitchell, Captain, formerly com
mended by Gov. Curtin, on their way to Wash
ington, 100 strong.
The Allen Infantry, of AllentOwn, Lehigh coun
ty, are quartered in the north wing of the Oapitol.
They number fifty men and are commanded by
Captain Thomas Yeager. This company has the
honor of being the Ant la the Geld from the good
" Old Tenth Legion," but they say there are hun

Visit of General Cameron to the Penn-

This afternoon the Secretary of War fluted the
Capitol Building in this oily. He was received
with great eitthuelatun, and his addreeses to the
different companies produced an electrical effect
He exiled first upon the Riugoid Light Artille
rists, from Handing, Barka county, commanded•
by Captain Tames McKnight. There he was re
ceived with great cordiality by adhere and men,
after which, he was presented formally to the
two companies from Pottsville, numbering each
over one hundred, and the company from Allen
town and that from Lewistown: He addressed
them as follows
CiEerer,strzet : I have deemed it my duty to visit
you, for the purpose of extending to you a hearty
greeting to the National Capital. lam more than
rejoiced that the first volunteers outside of this
District should have come from my native State of
dear old Pennsylvania. lam glad to see so many
fades recalling old recolleotione in your ranks ; so
many young and able-bodied men;`and so many
belonging to the party which did not contribute to
the election of the present Administration. But,
my friends, this is a question no longer of party
but of country. The Administration ham attached
nobody, and yet I believe your most energetic ef
forts will shortly be required to defend the
.flag
of the country from being again assailed by
thosi who attacked it at Fort Sumpter.
"Aud now, gentlemen, I cannot, of course, die
erfininate in the treatment I shall extend to the
realars and volunteers called here for the defence
of this beautiful metropolis, but I assure you it
will give me peculiar pleasare to pay every atten
tion to the volunteer' of Pennsylvania—and this
not alone because they come from that State, hat
because they were the first who were fortunate
enough to reach Washington to repel the enemies
of the country."
The Secretary of War.
The troops cffered to the Government were or
dored to come to Washington by the energetic 9e•
oratory of War without reference to uniforms or
arms, and regardless of all obstacles. The Govern
ment is resolved to arm all who come to offer their
lives in its defence.
The Way to Approach the Capital.
The aovernment will not be balked in Its ef
forts to bring forces to defend the capital. They
will, if mobs at Baltimore interrupt travel and
transportation, send troops in ebipe to Annapolis,
and keep communication open at all hazards from
there to Washington.
The Massachusetts Volunteers.
This fine regiment fought its way through the
mob of Baltimore this afternoon, over six hundred
reaching here, leaving one hundred and, twenty
behind. They reached here at five this evening,
and were received with great rejoicing. They
lost three kilipd and about ten wounded, three of
whom were seriously injured. They are quartered
in the Capitol building, which now contains over
one thousand soldiers of the Republic.

Strangers' Volunteer Corps.
Strangers in Washington, to the number of
about 150, assembled at Willard's Hall, (where

Defence of the Capitol.
Nearly a thousand troops were stationed in and
around the Capitol last night. The building was
lit up as brilliantly as if bath houses were in ass
lion.
Breastworks of wood were erected to close up
the archways leading to the entrances; the gates
of the parks were guarded, and no one was allowed
to pass without & permit.
Reports continue to multiply, but many of them
are too unreliable to be repeated. One thing is
quite ovident—the Secessionbts have made no
converts in Virginia, since the scenes in Charles
ton barber were enacted. In thie they are disap
pointed, for vietory there was expeoted to give
their cause such an impetus that they would be
enabled to crowd the State out of the Union with
out farther delay. They have been disappointed,
and are manifesting their folly in tearing down
signs, sinking old light-boats, running up rebel
flags, the. This mad folly will have its day, but it
will soon spend itself. Yesterday, the spectacle of
two flags, the Secession and the Union, floating
from the State Capitol, was witnessed by the old
sans of Richmond.

DETAILS OP THE RIOT
At the President-street depot a large crowd had
assembled in antialpstlon of the arrival of a. large
number of troops from New York and Maseaohu
setts. Shortly alter 11 o'clock a train from Phila
delphia, comprising twenty-nine oars, arrived at
the depot. Without dieembarking the eoldiers the
severel cars had horses attached, and about nine
were drawn along Pratt street to the Camden ela
tion the first du without creating any marked ob
jection.
For some reason the been attached to the
seventh car became restive mad were taken-oft',
and the oar Moved On without their aid to within a
short dietaneo of day. street.
littireen Gay and Frederick streets a number of
workmen were engaged in repairing the bad of the
road, and at the moment when the Oar reached
Gay street, tare removing the cobble•etones from
the principal portion of the street. Rome thirty
er forty ram followed the oar with cheers for David
and the Southern Confederacy, and buried bitter
taunts at the Northern Black Abolitionists, as they
termed them. This continued for several minutes,
when, as the hones were again attached and the
oar moved of it was proposed to stone them. Be
fore the ear had gone twenty yards, almost every
window therein was broken to Ititoes, And a por
tlon oC the crowd followed : a eonsiderable diatanee,
'hailing the paving-donde,. ;Thome persona not.in
uniform who were standing on the platform hastily
jumped off to avoid the stones.
The eighth oar was treated in the seine manner,
but the ninth oar apparently being empty. or , at
least no person being visible, passeel'on with'only
one stone striking it. The crowd Wilted in their
work. exclaiming , that the Black Republicans
should not pass through Maryland. • • •
A lapse of five minutes succeeded, and a numbbr
of reepeotablelooking persons. urged Ike &vied to
tear up the track. After the ..iirst train-had
pasted, another was observed on the Pratt-atrest
bridge, and then kosehors were dragged on the
track and a part of the track torn up. Observing
this the oars wore turned back to the President
street depot, and the men disembarked and pre
pared to match through the pity. . •
Mayor Brown anti a number of polies appeared
at their head and led the way. They cam e along
at a brisk , vase, and when they reached Market
apace, an immense concourse closed in behind
them and commenced stoning them.
.When
they reached Gay street, where the track
had been torn up, a largefroorard of men,
armed•witkpevingatonee,thowered them on their
beads with-ouch force that'several of times were
knocked down ,in the ranks. After laying a few
momenta they oroWded into the stores on Pratt .
street. At the attract' oft:loath and Pratt streets a
man fired a pistol — lnto' the rankri when
those in the reareranka.latmediately wheeled
and fired upon' theft assailants and several
were wounded. Thb guns of the soldiers that
had been knocked down were suited and fired
into the rank! with fatal effeot: In two or three
instances, after reaching CalVert street, they suc
ceeded in checking them' perm:tors bye Tepid fire,
which brought dawn .two or thyeK and were
not much molested until they, reached Howard
street,' where another large crowd, was assembled-
Some stones were thicitin at them, but as their
guns 'were not loaded they passed on through
a dense crowd down Howard street towards the
depot.
The scene on Pratt street was of the most start‘
ling obaracter. The wounded soldier!, three-in
number, were taken up carefully , orietiedr.th
planes of safety by the citizens along the greet
At the Camden station, where the trains leave
for Washington, there was assembled a large de
tachment of police under the direction of Marshal
Kane. As soon as the oare were seen, the order
was given to clear the track near the depot.
This _was done, and soon after a large peseenger
oar of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad
oame up at a rapid rate filled with the soidiers.
This oar was soon followed by about sixteen more; •
containing the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment,
oommanded by Col. Jones, - in all 11 companies,
comprising 8130 men. ' ' -
As the train arrived eddies of the troops were
compelled to change care, when they were hooted
at by the crowd, but no overt act was committed.
Several young men appeared at one of the Ogre
and dieplayed revolvers, whereupon the captain
of one of the companies drew his sword and said
be would protest his „teen.. Soon. after the train
was ready 'to keit, but if did not neovejill about
half-past 12 o'clock, - because President Garrett
had reseived• information that a large number of
men bad determined to tear up the track and
blow up the bridges, and thereby prevent the pas
sage of the train. In a few minutes after the
train left, a discharge of firearms attracted the
attention of the crowd at the corner of Howard
and Pratt streets, where a body of infantry about
150 strong, were seen rapidly approaching, being
anxious to reach the cars. The axone:Mont was
now beyond description. A man displaying a flag
of the Confederate States seemed the rallying point
of the people. Same assaulted the soldiers with
stones, when the latter disehirged their muskets.
At least twenty shots were- fired, but, as far as
l oould be learned, no one was inured.
- A STORE BROKEN INTO AND ARMS SEIZED.
A crowd broke into the warehouse of Patterson
Belford, on Long Doak, this evening, and took
therefrom some four hundred rifles and swords.
Spade are parading tho streets armed and on the
lookout for the military from the North expected
to-night. The crowd fully expect that the .Penn
sylvania volunteers and the Seventh New York
Regiment will arrive to-night, and if so bloody
Work will ensue. •

RETURN OF GENERAL SMALL'S
REGIMENT.
At a late boar, se we are golag to pram, we
have intelligenee Of the arrival of General Small's
broken regiment, whioh returned to this tilts at
eleven o'clook, with a number of wounded, bat
tered volunteers, and, we fear, a number of die
ilgured and pallid comes.
At this late hour we have not time for a detailed
description. - -
The train on *bleb 'th4l Pennsylvanians ware
transported reaohed Cantott, a suburban depot in
Baltimore, at. 11 o'clock. Mere the track was
found torn up. The Meseaohneetts troops occupied
the four first oars. The track in front was filled
with 'finishers, stone, masts, rooks, do. While the
Massachusetts troops marched on, the Pennsyl
vania troops, amid a great mob of rioters, at
tempted to clear away the obstacles. The mob
pursued the Massachusetts men as far as the
Washington depot, end Your of the latter were
killed.
The mob then returned to the oats - where the
Pennsylvanians still remained. General Small
ordered the troops to remain an the oars, and plowed
sentinels at the doors. Bat many persons leaped
from the windows, greatly excited, and engaged
with the mob. Ali of these ware mere.or less in•
jure& and three fatally. •
The mob were commanded by a party of young
men, well-dressed, apparently gentlemen's sons.
They fired pistols, and discharged bricks, etc., into
the oars. The Pennsylvanians, who made fight,
drove hatik the crowd and wounded or killed many
of them. ..
Gen. Small maintained his courage during this
exigency The railroad officers were paralysed,
and refuted to_ attach a locomotive to the train.
Gen. Small himself left the train and ordered an
engineer to attach a locomotive, which was done.
At this: time Gen. Bmall was seised by the
rioters, with Corporal Petit and Sergeant A. U .
Rowland.
The Imperintendant of the railroad then ad
dresced the crowd He rode a hors., and, by an
ingenictut ruse, made the rioters believe that the
troops were prisoners of war.
The train moved at 12* o'clock to the freight de
pot, and the troops were set to work in removing
bags, do. This deceived the mob; who tobk the
volunteers to be workmen.
Marshal Kane had tke troops finally hastened
to a special train, and they came up to the city.
General Small, with the remnant of troops,
jumped upon the train from Washington, due at
Baltimore at Ave o'clock, and were brought to
this city. Both treble, on their way up, picked
lip fifty or more stragglers. A spssial train will
be sent down today to take up the stragglers.
Moro Mom one hundred men are massing.
One of the - Massaohusetts men was killed by a
great piece of iron striking him on the head,
thrown from a bonse-top. The troops then turned
and tired upon the mob by_ command, killing a
large number of °Mae= of Baltimore, and wound
ing many others. The mob then diaper:and in
great affright. and returned to the Permsylvanians
in the oars.
i & The behavior of the troops throughout was
nailed by great ocadoess and courage. All are
anxious to go back with arm' arid' driii the mas
sing turough the streets of their own pity. They
were cheering repeatedly for the Union.
