CITY INTELLIGENCE.

who have organized at Union Hall, will leave
Baltimore tins morning for Washington, where
they will be mustered in the District Brigade,
Col, Watson left the city yesterday morning to
assume his new command and we learn expects
to depart for the seat of war with his Brigade,
Immediately, Previous to his departure ne
was presented with beautiful sword and pair
of epauettes, by his friends, as mark of their
esteem and respect. The corps of German
volunteers are still encamped i'll the Eastern
suburbs, awaiting for the Government to ac-
cept their services. We have no doubt that in
case it should become necessary to call ont the
requisition of two regiments from the State,
that sufficient number of volunteers could be
obtained in Baltimore alone. A military spirit
seems to pervade every class OF our citizens,
and IN every section are uniformed companies
to be found recognizing and forming. Three
companies have already made application for
admission into the SD Regiment, and there is
every prospect of our having several full regl-
ments of we'll organized corps by the 18th Of
September,
"PistoLs for EIoo and coffee for one" 1t is ru-
mored that two captains of our city, who drill
a bugle or clarionet to "distlHcton," have had
the temer ity to passnotes. The insult offered
by the one to the other was in consequence of
an alleged "grunting" on musical instrument,
by the senior to th9 Junior as he was vending
his way home at midnight. We are not in
formed what Time they purpose playing out
the farce, but suppose that it will begin at "a
flat"

Narro,C Escape Yesterday about o'clock,
q horse attached to gig, containing gentle
man, ran away in East Baltimore street, and at
Hartford Run came in contact with the parapet |
of the bridge, breaking shaft. The horse i'm
wheeled round and ran against a
bread cart which was passing, but did no niu- |
ry, the conclusion however caused the driver to !
pull the rens very hard, which brought the |
horse facing the canal, when luckily the other !
shaft broke, or he would have plunged over
board, killing in all probability both himself
and driver The gentleman received no iniu-
ry, and the horse with the shafts attached, clear
ed out for parts unknown.

IN Accident. A gentleman who was pass
ing along Lexington street, trod upon piece
Of orange peeling which was lying on the pave
ment slipped and fell on his elbow which was
slightly bruised by the fall, We notice this
accident not so much on account of its magni-
tude, as from desire to expose the practice of
throwing such things on the paVements, prac-
tice which is extremely culpable, and which
cannot be too strongly censured,
