Dav bv day we have new revelations of the
spirit OF Baltimore and OF the character OF the
assassins OF the 10Th of April. The leaders in
the dastardly outrage of that day it is now well
known were men who had enjoyed the hospi'
taties of that portion of the country which
has remained faithful to the laws but after
the cowardly assaults there were further de-
velopments, to two OF which our attention has
been specially directed, as showing woman in
her true and generous state and woman de-
graded by wrath and sefshness
Immediately alter the massacre, when some
of those noble SONS of Massachusetts who so
promptly responded to the call of their coun.
try, had fallen, pierced with ueacherous bull
lets, or with skulls fractured by paving-stones,
two women hurried to the lace to which their
manned bodies had been carried, One, the
daughter of an English admiral, married to a
citizen of Baltimore, came with woman's heart
to offer succor 10 the wounded and with the
energy and courage which every true woman
shows in a labor OF humanity, OverbOre ali re-
monstrances of the p lice, and insisted that
the two most dangerously injured should be
taken to her own luxurious home, where they
were nursed and tenderly cared for. This
lady had lived in Boston, aud was true to its
better spirit, no less than to her own woman.
like instincts
The other, also from Boston, "the wife OF a
former Milk street merchant, deeply interested
in cotton spinning, and resident but little over
year in Baltimore" came likewise to visit
the wounded not to offer succor, but to bring
gibcs and reproaches not to bind up their
wounds, but TO torture them with her unwonl-
anly and reasonable tauuts not to console,
by telling them it was sweet and noble to die
Tor ones country, but to jeer at them as hav-
ing been rightly served" not to bow in hum
bic admiration before their patriotic loyalty,
but with harsh voice to ask, "What business
they had to come to Baltimore?"
The savage, dancing around his pinioned
victim, thrusting burning pine knots into his
quivering flesh, and gIoating over his agony,
does but follow the customs of his tribe, and
may have tender heart when compared with
this iiendsh woman. We leave her the en-
joyment of the congenial secession society o!

WASHINGTON, May l6 -Advlces received
here to day from Montgomery mention, amor g
other important matters, that it had been par
tally decided that Davis should take COM
nand in person OF the troops at Richmond.
There was considerable opposition to this
manifested by several members of the cabi-
net, who held that it was the duty OF the
president to remain at his post at the head of
the government; but the fact having been
stated that great discomfort and uueasness
were felt by the rebel troops at Richmond and
other points, owing to the want OF IL head in
whom they had confidence, has probably al
ready settled the matter so far as Davis is
concerned.
My advices further state that the question
of changing the seat OF government from
Montgomery to Richmond was seriously dis
cussed in secret session; but Intelligence hav
ing been received that government intended
TO take possession OF several points in Virgin
ia-amOng others Richmond-it was deemed
advisable not to go SO far rorth for the present.
The seat of government will therefore remain
for some time at Montgomery.

Beauregard while he WIS at Richmond He

at any time during the bombardment where
he could have been injured.
