The Baltimore Volunteers. Yesterday after
noon, Notwithstanding the rain, which poured
down without intermlssion, the Volunteers
from Union Hall, under Capt. James Stewart,
turned out in body and proceeded to their en-
camping ground in the vicinity of the Wash
ington Monument. After arriving, however,
on account of the incessant rain, it was DEEM
ed most prudent to postpone pitching their
tents until this morning. They were accom-
panied by a drum and fife, and were as hardy
looking set of men as we have seen together for
long time. They now number about 100
men, and are constantly increasing their num-
bers, with the sturdy and gallant SONS of the
"Monumental city," Liberal contribute ons
have been made by our patriotic citizens, and
we have no doubt but that a sufficient sum
will be realized to assist them in fully equipinp
themselves.
We also learn that the young mems "Rifle
Corps" at the Exchange, have, during yester-
day, obtained about 40 members, and will also,
no doubt, receive large accessions TO their
ranks. The promptness of our young men in
thus voluntarily coming forward and forming
themselves into companies to rein force the
"Army of Occupation" speaks well for their
patriotism, and is deserving of all praise. Bal
timore never has been, and never will be, the
last to show her love of country, when it is
menaced or invaded.
Fatal Rail Road accident. In our paper of
yesterday, we stated that an elderly lady had
been killed in Fleet street near Canton, about
O'Clock OF the previous evening, by being run
over by the locomotive of the Havre de Grace
train Of cars. We have since ascertained that
her name was Mary Cramer, widow, and
that she resided in Wiki street. An inquest
was held over the body yesterday morning by
Coroner Hooper, when the following facts
were elected. ltappears that she had been to
the race course, in attendance at one Of the
numerous booths for the sale of ice creams,
confectionery, &C.; and that on her return
home, and when near the corner of Boston and
Chester streets she attempted to cross the track
few feet in advance of the engine, which it
is said was not going faster than the usual rate
when she was caught by the cow-catcher
thrown under the wheels and instantly killed
The jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the above facts. The unfortunate de-
ceased was aged about sixty years
appointment. We learn that Gov. Pratt
has appointed Thomas Spencer, coroner for
The city Of Baltimore, in the place of r, b.
