NEW YORK, MAY 27.
There has been a furious boiling up of the war
cauldron since Sunday last. Every one was calcu-
lating on the evacuation or capture of Richmond,
or in some other triumph of the Federal arms,
either under the walls of that city or at Corinth,
when suddenly there came the news of a defeat
from a quarter where nobody expected any danger
7---a defeat that has created something like a panic
in Washington and in this city, if not throughout
the whole North. Sunday has of late become so
especially the day for the arrival in this city of
important war news, that before going to church in
the morning most people make up their minds to
hear either of a victory or a defeat on coming out
of it, and many stay away altogether from Divine
service that they may be earlier informed. Three
Sundays ago came the evacuation of Norfolk. The
Sunday before last brought intelligence of the re-
pulse of the Monitor and the Galena in the James
River, and the day before yesterday New York re-
ceived a still greater shock in the news that Gene-
ral Banks had been defeated at Winchester by a
large force under General Jackson, after an obsti-
nate engagement of six hours, and that the Federal
army of the Shenandoah was in full retreat across
the Potomac. The news was generally credited,
and created a very uneasy feeling in the minds of
the large claw who are weary of the war, and look
with alarm on any Confederate victory that may
tend to prolong it. The despatches and details
that arrived yesterday confirmed it to the fullest
extent, and added other particulars of a nature to
cause some apprehension for the safety of Balti-
more, and even of Washington. The friends of the
South are so many and so influential in Baltimore
—though the " rowdy" mob is on the other side—
that not even the presence of a large Federal
army under General Dix—who occupies the city
after the fashion in which the Russian Generals
occupy Warsaw— is sufficient to restrain
the expression of their delight whenever the
Northern fleets or armies sustain a reverse.

The first intimation of the danger in which Genera.
Banks was placed reached Baltimore and Washing-
ton on Saturday, on which day a portion of his
command, under Col. Kenley, a Marylander, at the
head of a Maryland regiment, was defeated with
severe loss at Front Royal, a position on the She-
nandoah on the line of the Manassas Gap Railroad
to Alexandria. Some over-zealous Secessionists
were imprudent enough to express in the streets
their satisfaction at the event, and to call it a befit-
ting judgment upon recreant Marylanders, who were
traitors to the cause of the South. This led to ill-
blood, and to popular gatherings in the streets. The
passions of both parties were violently aroused, and
it was by the merest accident that bloodshed and
murder did not result. And when the news of the
following up of the first little victory of the Confe-
derate arms by the defeat of Banks arrived, in the
midst of the excitement, the thermometer of the
popular temper went up from blood heat to fever
heat at one bound, and there was imminent danger
that Baltimore would be the theatre of events of
which the parallel is only to be found in the blood-
stained annals of Paris during the " Reign of Ter-
ror." " Judge Lynch," that ominous public func-
tionary, who bids fair to override all law but his
own in many cities of the Union if this vindictive
war is allowed to linger much longer, paraded the
streets in the shape of a furious Union mob. Having
caught hold of a Southern "sympathiser" in Monu-
ment-square, there were loud cries to hang him upon
a lamp-post, and, a rope having been procured, pre-
parations were made to carry the threat into execu-
tion, -when a large posse of police opportunely
arrived, and rescued the man frOm death, with the
noose around his neck. "Judge Lynch," thus butaked
of his victim, retired in bad humour to other quarters
of the city,and amused himself by beating Secession•
ists with sticks and hunting them through the
streets. All the most prominent citizens who had
identified themselves with the South kept prudently
out of sight, and many of them barricaded them-
selves in their house, and stood ready armed with I
their whole household to resist any attack that might
be made upon them. Such is the popular frenzy, ,
exasperated as it is by the violence of the women of
all classes, high and low, that General Dix will have
a harder tax than ever to keep Baltimore in order, ,
even should Jackson, elated with his victory, not
'suddenly make his appearance at the gates to de-
mand its surrender.
The President, on Sunday afternoon, on receipt
of the telegrams announcing the retreat of Banks
and the mischief brewing at Baltimore, issued a pro-
clamation by which he took military possession of
all the railroads in the United States, and directed
the officials to hold themselves in readiness for the
transport of troops and munitions of war, to the
exclusion of all other business. The Governor of
the State of New York was equally prompt, and
immediately on the arrival of the news at Albany
ordered the sth New York Volunteer Artillery and
the 7th Regiment of the New York State Militia to
proceed to Washington on the morrow for the
defence of the capital.
Last night at 8 o'clock the 7th Regiment—the
crack regiment of the city and very popular—was
fully equipped and ready for the work, and marched
down Broadway, flags flying and drums beating,
amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of an immense
crowd that lined the thoroughfare, and of a crowd
of ladies, equally enthusiastic, who filled every win-
dow and balcony commanding a view of their
march. It thence proceeded to the ferry at the
foot of Courtland-street, across the Hudson river to
the :railway station, and travelled all night to
Washington. The same eagerness is displayed in
other States and cities, and it is certain that the
President can gather around him a quarter of a
million of militiamen for the defence of Washing-
ton if he needs them.
In the meantime everybody is asking
how Gen.
Banks was brought into this scrape. No one seems
to blame him in any way for the defeat he has suf-
fered, seeing that he had but 4.000 men, and Jack-
son from 15,000 to 18,000. The result is traced to
the interference of Mr. Secretary Stanton, who de-
prived General Banks of two-thirds of his army at
a time when he ought to have known that the Con-
federate force in the valley of the Shenandoah had
been largely increased, and taken up a position alike
strong for attack or defence. It appears to have
been deemed expedient at Washington to reiaforce
Gen. M'Dowell at Fredericksburg—probably with
the view of enabling him to co-operate with
M'Clellan in some movement against Richmond;
consequently the divisions of Generals Shields and
Geary were withdrawn from Bank's army on the
15th, and Banks left with 4,000 men. The Presi-
d.lit seems io have had some misgiving about the
matter, after the mischief had been done, and started
suddenly from Washington ou Friday last to visit
General M'Dowell at his head-quarters. lie had
scarcely returned to Washington on Saturday when
the first intimation of the impending evil reached
him in a despatch from Gen. Banks at Strasburg, to
the effect that Col. Kenley-had been defeated at
Front Royal. This news was known in New York
early on Sunday morning, as well as in Baltimore
and Washington, and led most persons who had
studied the map, and who knew anything of the
state of matters in the Shenandoah valley, to an-
ticipatehavelong
been accustomed to sneer at Banks as a
further disasters. Gen. Banks has been
already reinforced, and, unless Gen. Jackson be too
rapid
for him, will doubtless attempt to regain his
