A storm of stones and hisses, directed by the mob
at St. Louis against the Volunteers, having imme-
diately afterwards drawn down upon the former a
fusillade by which, unhappily, about twenty people
were destroyed. The passage through Baltimore,
by the way, is described as being again perfectly
free and uninterrupted. And not only this—but
between Baltimore and the capital every bridge,witli
one solitary exception, is said to have been promptly
and effectually repaired. To crown the whole of
these tidings, it may be estimated that not less
than 300,000 volunteers had already placed their
services at the command of the United States' Go-
vernment! But a very little while, now at length, and
the result of all these formidable preparations will
resound to us from the opposite shores of the At-
lantic. Wheu—GoD grant that those deathful
detonations may soon cease—may cease, as soon as
can be within the limits of possibility, after the
date of their commencement.
