Considerable excitement was occasioned in
this city last evening by the announcement
that the Massachusetts Regiment. command

Seventh Regiment, had landed at Annapolis.
and that there was quite large military force
in attendance to resist their passage over.
land to Washington.
We learn from gentlemen who was at
the Junction at 3 o'clock, and had a conver
sation over the wires from that point with the
operator at Annapolis, that the troops had
landed aud commenced their march, and that
the road was lined with Marylanders pre-.
pared to dispute their passage over Mary.
land soil. Governor Hicks had taken com.
mand of the Maryland troops hastily assem-.
bled, and his force was said to ammount to
nearly 1000 efficient skrmisbers.
The following dispatch was received from
Annapolis yesterday morning -

gy WONDERFUL CHAEGE.-The conduct
OF the people of Baltimore during last week
is most remarkable. One day, under the in'
hrence Of a patriotic excitement, stimulated
by the attack on Fort Sumter, they hoist the
United States flag all over the city, hurrah
for the Union, and persecute every stray
secessonist.
But no sooner has the national government
occasion 20 put this seeming patriotism to
the test, it turns out to be spurious. The
first northern troops who passed through
Baltimore on thei. way from Harrisburg TO
Washington, were greeted with mixture ol
frisndliness and hostility. They were cheered
and honored by some, while others stoned
them, and were not arrested for 1t. The
next detachment was received with hostility
so evidently prepared as to leave no doubt
that the city had all along been in the hands
Of q conspiracy which did not appear on the
surface until it was fully armed and ready f.E
mischief.

l1Ahklffiht, ~ pTn EA'
Three regiments Of Pepusylvanla Militia
have reached Cockeysville, on the Northern
Central Railroad, which is only eighteen
miles from Baltimore. This is the point
where the FIRST bridge on the road going south
was broken down. They reached that point
at noon on Sunday, and have since estab'
hshed their position, aud are now doing camp
duty and perfectiug their military education
by drilling Last night two other regiments
followed to the same destination, and they
are accompanied by Sberman's battery Of
artillery. This is intended as protection
against ony attempt on the part Of the Mary
land soldiers to use artillery against the
camp.
This demonstration is also intended to act
sgainst any attempt Of Virginia to throw
troops from the Harper's Ferry region upon
Washington, and facilitate the design of
marching southwark Of Baltimore to the relief
Of Washington. Gen. Patterson is TO pro-
ceed to Havre de Grace, to bold that and the
communication by the Delaware and Cbesa'
peake Canal and by water throw forward
troops by that route towards Annapolis and
Washington.
Two thousand Pennsylvanians and 1900
Ohians are still 10 camp here, and the num-
ber will be increased this evening to 5000
1t is supposed that no additional force will be
sent to Cockeysvlle at present. There can
be but little doubt that collision with the
Maryland troops will soon take place at
Cockeysvile.

Ca FoRT MONROE is the largest fortress
in the United States and on the opposite
shore, near Norfolk, is Fort Calhoun. The
distance around the former is nearly a mile
and quarter, aud to man it efficiently Eve
thousand men are not too many.
Gov. Wise said, not long since, that Vir.
ginia must possess the fort if it took twenty
thousand men to accomplish the feat. For.
tuuately, Virginia stands a poor chance Of
taking it, for, besides several hundred regular
troops, one thousand Massachusetts volur-
teers were thrown into it last week, with
supplies of ammunition and provisions.
ln addition to these advantages, the fort is
situated a. the entrance to Hampton Roads,
that famous inland bay, ever two miles in
diameter, 10 which oil the vessels of our navy
can ride at anchor with perfect safety.
About twelve miles to the southeast OF
Old Point Comfort, and eight from Ham D: o
Roads, is Norfolk, situated on the northern
side of the Elizabeth river. Across the river.
which is seveneights of mile wide 10 this
place, are the towns of Portsmouth and
Gosport. Nj Of these are important naval
stations, and are still in possession OF the
Federal Government, and each is accessible
to the largest vessels.
So long as these points remain in the pos.
session of the Government, it will have
complete control over the naval power Of
Virginia, aud can use it for the purposes o!
blockade, of attack, or of keeping way open
tor all reinforcements which it may ind i,
necessary to send to Washington.
Fort Monroe is well garrisoned and late
dispatches from Commodore Paulding show
that be can check any movement to seize the
Navy Yard. But later intelligence informs
us that the Navy Yard was abandoned and
burnt by our men before leaving.

discharged on condition that he would take
the oath OF allegiance.
We deem it proper to give the above

whom he had summoned to attend him pro.
seeded at once to the station.
After q series of DELAYS thew we're enabled
70 procure a special train about hulfpast
seven O'Clock ir which they arrived at Wash.
iugtou sbout ten. They repaired al once to
the Presidents house, where they were ad
mitted to an immediate interview, to which
the Cabinet and Gen. Scott was summoned.
Aloug conversation and discussion ensued.
The President, upon bis part, recognized the
good faith Of the city aud state authorities,
aud Insisted upon bis owp. lie admitted the
excited State of feeling 10 Baltimore, and his
desire aud duty to avoid the fatal conseuueu-
ces of q collision with the people.
He urged, on the other hand, the absolute,
irresistible necessity Of having o transit
through the State for such troops as might
be necessary for the protection Of the Federal
Capital. The protection Of Washington, no
asseverated with great earnestDess, was the
sole object of concentrating troops there, and
be protested that none Of the troops brought
through Maryland were intended for any
purposes hostile to the State, or aggressive
as against the Southern States.
Being now unable to bring them up the
Potomac 10 security, the Government must
either bring them through Maryland. or
abandon the Capital. He called 90 Cen
Scott for bis opinion, which the General gave
at length, to the effect that troops might be
brought through Maryland, without going
through Baltimore, by either carrying them
from Perryvile to Annapolis, and thence by
rail to Washington, or by bringing them to
the Relay House, on the Northern Central
Railroad, and marching them to the Relay
House on the Washington Railroad, and
thence by rail to the Capital
1t the people would permit them to 60 by
either of these routes uninterruptedly, the
necessity Of their passing through Baltimore
would be avoided. If the people would not
permit them transit thus remote from the
city, they must select their own best route,
and if need be, fight their way through
Baltimore, result which the General ear
nestiy deprecated.

THE WAR ExCvT EMENT-THE TROOPS
AT THIS pIACE

THE WAR ExCITEMENT-THE TROOPS
AT THIS PLACE. ~
Never since we have been government
has there been as much excitement ss now
among our citizens. Never have we wit
messed such week as the last. Every day
the railroad depot was tbronged with hun
dreds to witness the arrival of volunteers 10
defence of their country and government
and extend TO them not only cheers OF en-
couragement, but provisions for the hungry
On Saturday, when the frs. detachment Of
the SUNBURY GUARDS left, the whole street
for one square, along the depot, was blocked
up with a dense mass Of people. Among
them mothers, wives. daughters, sisters and
brothers, to witness the departure Of those
near and dear. The scenes we're in some
instances so affecting, that on Monday when
the balance Of the company left, (forty.fve in
uumber) these scenes, by request Of the mem
bers, were avoided. The regular 10 o'clock
train came down with six cars, containing the
Muncy and other companies, into which the
Sunbnry company entered. An extra train
was got up for the Shamokin company and q
large number from Luzerne county, brought
down by the Lackawapna & Bloomsburg road.
The train consisted of nineteen cars, con.
tanning about 1000 men. Many Of the latter
had little or no breakfast, and our citizens in
the neighborhood emptied their houses in
supplying the hungry with eatables, iced wa
ter and milk.
On Tuesday temporary tables, filled with
provisions and drink, were erected along the
depot platform. The regular train contained
the Williamsport and other companies. The
Lackawnnna train came 10 close behind, con-
tanning the Danvile and other companies Of
the North Branch, 10 oil about 1000 mem
which were despatched by special engine
from this place. AS the trains moved off,
after partakng Of the refreshments that were
prepared for them. cheer after cheer was
given to the citizens Of Sunbury, and especi-
ally to the ladies, who are always most active
in these matters. Many of the men having
travelled long distance, expressed their
grateful thanks for these corsiderate and kind
attentions.
On Wednesday the train arrived at about
IL o'clock, aud brought but one company,
the Hyde Park Fencbles, from Luzerne
county, commanded by Capt McGovern.--
Our citizens had prepared refreshments for
more than 500. Having breakfasted at in
the morning, seven hours fasting had pre-
pared them to relish the repast set before
them, aud they expressed their gratitude
with three cheers on leaving. Even in the
encampment, at Harrisburg, these kind and
opportune attentions by the ladies of Sun
bury were acknowledged and spoken of by the
various companies which passed through this
place.
On Thursday Captain Jarretts company
from Lock Haven, anG company from Mill
Hall, commanded by Capt Bossert, formerly
of this place, arrived in the morning train
While enjoying the refreshments furnished
them by our citizens, part of the Lock Haven
company was left behind, but before the train
had got out Of town, the mistake was disco.
vered, and the train backed up to the depo,
to receive them.
