A!osT WANroN OUrRAGE.-.4 Direct
Biow Sf1lck at The Business Of Baltimore.-
For some tinp past morning coemporary has
been lavish OF its abuse Of Us for publishing the
| outlawry petreltated in this CITY, and the mrr-
camille community has been told that it was
our evidert desire by such means to niure The
business of the city. In The meaniime, the
perpetrators Of these outrages have bern shield
ed aud defended by that paper, until reckless
villains throughout the city have grown 50 bold
as 10 sci the laws wholly aside and perpetratr
their fendish designs with most reckless and
wantun cruelty.
Not satisfied with the injury to the reputa-
ton ofthe city, which has been inflicted BY out
lagtS npun the murder 81 nur own citizens, yes
terday morning some offhese wrrtchpS struck
more direct and deadly blow al the city's pos
prri'y by firing upon the train Of ears arriving
from Washington at 9 O'Clock. The paiiicu-
lars, as related 10 as are as fellows:
On the arrival Of the train at the Spring Gar
den, suburbs ofthe city, it passed gronp Of
young Williams who arr being trained by Balii-
more for The gallowS, when one Of them delibe-
rately raised Gnn and fred at the cars. The
tall passed through Toe clothing Of tie mail a.
gent, Mr.. Marcus Hook, and erased his flesh
Tie train was immediately stopped and the
perpetrators Of The outrage pursued, but they
succeeded in making their escape.
We are informed that The greatest excitement
prevailed among the PASSENGERS, several of
whom were merchants on their wav bitheT TO
make purchases. They expressed the serrrpst
indlgoatlon against our municipal authorities, to
whose criminal mhrciiity this condition of law
Ifssness is attributable, and avowrd their deter
mlnatian never 70 visit this city again, hul 10
proceed to New York or Philadelphia, where
at least their persons and lives were safe from
such ruianism. We trust our Board Of Trade
viii take cognizance Of this affair, and eather
oirr themselves or see that there is offered such
a reward for the apprehension Of the guilty
wretch as viii secure that result. This GER
tainlv comes within the province Of their or
ganizalion, as il is direct injury to our mer-
