Immediately after the commission Of the
fatal deed, the news spread like wildhre, and
an immense concourse collected around the
drug store. For brief period all seemed APP
palled, but presently some one cried out
Hang him hang him y The proposition was
loudly opposed by some as It was urged BY
Others and there seemed to be no disposition
to take any decided action on the part Of any
one.
Meanwhile Cora was taken to the Station
house. A loaded and unloaded Derringer we're
found upon his person. He was somewhat az
stated and accounted for the act by stating that
he was afraid Richardson intended TO kill him.
Afterwards he said that Richardson had drawn
first Bowie knife and then pistol upon him,
and that he fred in selfdefence.
Isstead Of dispensing the crowd became more
exasperated and proposition to lynch Cora
was put to the vote. There was q mingled
shout OF "ayes" and "noes"--some who nd.
dressed the people advised submission to the
laws, whilst others were for rescuing the pris-
oner and hanging him Mt once.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENTS.

BALTIMORE, April 16-10Px
Ihls is Easter Sunday-yes, more, it is north
Easter. Such day has not come within the
range OF my memory. Snow commenced to
tall early in the morning, and so continued,
almost without intermission, up to the present
writing accompanied by cold rain from the
northeast. The roofs of houses are now cover
ed to the depth of six inches; the streets and
pavements too, are covered. Trees out in leaf
are loaded, and bending almost to the earth
with their heecy robings. The effect upon
vegetation, fear, must be disastrous, and
early fruit will certainly be nipped in the
bud. This is source of deep regret, as fruit
would have served greatly to alleviate the dis
tress among poor people, in consequence of
the high price of flour, and other substantial
requisites of subsistence. So disagreeable was
the storm, that very few persons, not even the
night nearly all the churches are closed.
Here and there, at intervals could be seen
some pious lady, this morning, with umbrella
occasionally turned inside out, and vsstments
adrift, vending her way to the sanctuary
Even these were few and far between. They
appeared to labor in the storm, like a shin
tempest-tesS ed, but persevered until the pacific
stern0r sex, be it spoken, a comparative few of
them only were ont on the same errand. Like
fair.weather Christians, they kept close quar-
tiers, though the day was a church festival of
more than ordinary interest. How strongly
do such occasions and such circumstances ex-
hibit the superior mate benevo!ence of woman
There is something in her devotion which
stands out prominently, and teaches man, the
lord of creation, his inferiority. All the nobler
attributes and elements of goodness, when un-
contaminated, dwell in her heart, and she
exemplifes to proud, forgetful man, his de-
pendence and his nothingness. We find her
first at the Cross, first at the bed of sickness,
first and last in the temple of God, and always
active IN the cause of philanthropy. She is
jewel of the brightest hue, soothing to pain,
consoling in affection, comfort in adversely,
and mans safeguard in prosperity. Who SO
base that could not love her
