The excitement hero is very great. Last
Saturday some few secessionists intimated that
they were going TO raise a flag on Town Hall,
but they were soon informed by the Union
men that if they did, they would tear it down
or burn the building before morning so they,
concluded not to raise it They also got
cannon to fire salute in honor Of Virginia
seeding, when the Union men took the can?
non away from them, and locked it in Mr.,
Forts stable. Hack loads of families are
leaving Baltimore ior fear of being killed. A
troop, commanded by Captain Gather, came
through on the way to Baltimore, but were
met BY the Union men, who gave three hearty
cheers for the, Union as. they passed. The
schoolboys were firing salute for the Union,
when the old gun bursted, and killed the old.
est son Of Major Peters. The factories and
-four mills are all closed, and business is en-
tirely suspended. The excitement is intense.
The conduct Of the Baltimoreans toward the
Massachusetts troops has ruined old Maryland
forever. The Union party is largely in the
ascendency here. = i. 1 rls

All this misery inflicted upon Baltimore, the
enforced fight of tens OF thousands, the sus'

the mob by those who we're interested in the
preservation OF good order. Sill more terrible

A lieutenant in the navy, wbo had for a

at his residence in this city. For months, it
not years past, he had made strenuous efforts to
be placed upon the active list again; and to
secure that object, his vile repeatedly visited
Secretary Touceyin person, aud urged his case
in the most plaintive and strenuous terms. Not.
withstanding, the Secretary refused TO reinstate
him. Since the present Administration came
into power, aud ouly three or. four days before
his deceaSe, he was reinatRted, and received his
commission. Upon the strength OF that, his
widow aud family are entitled to pension for

SUIT AGAINST THE PROPRIETOR OF THE
NATIONAL THEATER.-Dennis Mcmahon as.
John Bates. An action tried before Judge
Msllon and jury, to recover 5000 and inter-
est, the amount for which the plaintiff al
leges his wife, Lucy Ann McMahon, con-
tracted to perform at the National Theater
for four nights, in November, 1858.
The dispositions of VIM. Reynolds and
Mrs. McMahon were read, to prove the con-
tract, and oral testimony was introduced on
behalf of the defense; Messrs. Ellsler, W.
ShiTes and Radcliffe being examined, to
prove that Mrs. McMahon was not com
petent 'star actress" as she assumed to be.
The plaintiff introduced rebutting evil
dence-the depositions of a number of liter
airy and professional gentlemen in New
York City, who regarded her as talented
actress.
The jury returned a verdict for 1925, the
amount claimed.
THE CHARGE OF CONTEMPT AGAINST Conc
EER EMMERT.-Eyidence was heard by Judge
Carter in relation to the action of the Coro
Ier on the previous day in serving a writ of
hdbedS corpus Immediately outside the Court
room door, on Henry Schwartz, at the time
he was being delivered by the Sheriff Off
GERS to an agent from the State of Kentucky.
Coroner Emmert stated himself that he
thought he was engaged in the performance
OF lawful duty, and Judge Stallo testified
that it appeared TO him the only object Mr..
E. had in view was TO serve the writ, and
that in the confusion it was difficult to dis
charge any duty of the kind without some
vocal demonstration.
Deputy Sheriffs Glass and Crier testified
that as soon as the prisoner was taken to the
door by the Deputy Coroner Em-
inert On the one side, and Wolf on the other,
took hold Of the prisoner and claimed him
for the Coroner.
In answer to the Court, Mr.. E. said Mr.
Abraham told him he might serve the writ
outside of the room.
Judge Carter issued a rule for Mr.. Abra
ham, and directed that the Coroner should
pay fine of $25 and costs.
Some statements made by the Deputy
sheriffs in relation to the conduct OF Mr.
Rainey, Sergeant alarms, lead to inquirine
as to whether he was guilty of contempt
but on hearing the facts the rule was dis

similar organization, and with brace Of
such singers as Campbell and Reeves might
defy comparison with any concert party in
the country. The funny men, Cotton, Duley,
Howard and Griffin, constitute a quartette
that can't be beat, and entire nous, dear reader,
we address you who affect this most popu-
lar of all popular amusements, the entire

that principle told me was right.
If that was a crime, l hope the Mayor may

And, while many may have imagined the
object was more to make display than for
public utility, am decidedly Of the opinion
that the police drill introduced at my sug.
gestion by Captain Wilson, is almost indis-
pensable in dispensing crowd or quelling a
riot. It is gratifying to me, that when, upon
several occasions of great interest during my
official term, the people have thronged the
streets Of the city to receive and welcome
distinguished visitors from sister cities and
States, and from the mother country, no
disorder occurred, or any thing calculated to
ipjure or tarnish the reputation of our city.
Twenty years ago Cincinnati had popula-
