THE NEWS FROM BALTIMoRE.
Then came the news from Baltimore and was
hurried up town by enthusiastic friends IL ex
cited and animated the soldiers vastly. The ru.
NOR spread that Colonel Lefjerts had received n
despatch lnstructing him to come through Balti-
more at all hazards, and every one seemed to hone
that 1t might be true. ''Why should we shirk
around in the Batic,' remarked sergeant. ..,i
we can't railroad it, can't we march?" Baltimore
may serve as little preliminary practice" said an
exquisite, stufiing pair of white kids into his
knapsack. "We have a character, and will sus.
tain 1t, If it lays in power" observed another
The members of the troops, not being able to take
their horses with them, and not expecting to
get others at Washington, were ordered
to act artlerists, and lowered the two
light hOwitzers which they were to take with them,
carefully down the stairs. "These are for Bati-
more, II we need them," observed the captain su-
perintending the removal. Every one seemed in.
spired with most martial spirit; recruits were
obliged to be refused and nine hearty cheers and
tiger made the building trembe when it was an
nounced that every musket was taken, that every
uniform had a man in it, and that the regiment
would certainly go to Washington by rail.
THE WAR FEELING IN BOSTON.
BosToN April 19.-On the receipt of the news n
the attack on the military at Baltimore the popu
lace became almost frantic. The workmen left
their shops and factories in their shirt-sleeves and
congregated in crowds, resolving to avenge the
wrong at all cost. Bodies of men from all rank,
are organizing and preparing to leave at the ear
est moment, determined to redress the outrage with
their lives.
The Fifth regiment is under orders, and will pro
badly leave foT Washington by Monday next II
will number 900 men.
The reports this afternoon fro m Baltimore cause
painful excitement here, but it is hoped the ac
counts are exaggerated. There is intense ankle ty
to learn details
THE CIVIC RECEPTION OF MAJOR ANDERSON.
The Committee OF the Common Council, appoint
ed to tender the of the Governors Room tt
Major Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter yester
DAY held meeting and agreed to wait upon the
gallant N ajor. Accordingly they called upon hiu
at bis hotel last evening to ascertain the intentions
OF Major Anderson, and they will report the result
OF their meeting to-day. 1t is probable that the
oter ot the Governors Room has been accepted
and that the committee will be able to complete
their ARRANGEMENTS to day. MaVOr Wood is
Grating with the committee.
Ever since the arrival of Major Anderson at the
Brevoort House large numbers of our most infu-
entail citizens have called to paw their respects
Mrs. Anderson and her gallant husband, and also
to congratulate him ON his safe arrival in New
\ ork after the gallant defence he made at Fort
sumter. 80 large was the number of visitors yes
terday that Major Anderson was compelled to ia ke
refuge at the military headquarters for the pur.
pose OF writing his dispatches, where he remained
all the afternoon, except the time occupied in re-
viewing the Seventh regiment during their mar ct
down Broadway.
