Fourth Wis. Regiment Correspondence.
BALTIMORE, July 23d, 1861.

BALTIMORE, July 23d, 1861.
FRIEND Lutte The 4th Regiment left Har-
risburg Monday, at o'cl-ck for Baltimore
the city of handsome ladies, plug uglies, the
Washington Monument ard riots. After tray
cling all night till broad daylight the cars
brought up at Baltimore just at the peep of
day. AS The Wis 4th marched through the
same streets where bat three months before
the Massachusetts 9th were ignobly slain by
mob force, presume that the boys had their
eyes cooked towards every suspicious alley
and window. But more impressive scene
never witnessed than the hostile tread of the
Wis 4th Regiment through the streets of Bal
timore on the morning OF the 22d of July
Through the different streets we passed. we
frequently saw night-caps half hiding pretty
faces peeping from the windows, while occa-
sionally half suppressed cheer would be sent
forth for the Union, and ere that sound had
died away we could hear one in respose for
the Confederate States. 1t is useless to dis
guise the fact, for it is true, that Baltimore is
largely secession, and / am credibly informed
that the secession element exists among the
wealthy and aristocratic and most intelligent
portion of the people. while the Union men
belong to the lower classes. There may be
exceptions to this, but generally find it the
case. Seven newspapers are published here
two for the Union and FIVE for secession. Bal
timorc is surrounded with u S. troops, there
being ten or fifteen thousand in the immedi-
ate vicinity. These troops consist principally
of the three months men, who are returning
home to re-enlist, and are stopping here to re-
cruit. The entire force of our men that en-
listed for three months are returning; the num-
Der is fol ty-seven thousand. But while they
are returning home ain equal humber III be
pushed forward to take their places. The 4th
Regiment will be eucamped here until further
orders: The probability is, that for the pres
ent they will he placed on the railroad between
here and Washington, a distance of 80 miles,
as all the Railroads leading into this city are
guarded by troops and are in possession of the
Government.
The feeling between the citizens Of this city,
who are secessionists and Union men, is hos
tile and bitter. 1t extends even among the la
dies, who are the only persons permitted to
wave secession flags.
A Col. of one of the New York Regiments
has been court.martialed for Selling a woman
and pulling from her bosom secession flag.
The lady showed resistance, and quite a "tug
of war" cnsued before the gallant Gel. was
successful IL, capturing his prize. The lady is
the wife of a wealthy merchant here, and no
little excitement was oceasioned by the affair.
/ go to Washington this afternoon and hope
to write you from there To let you know
that our Wisconsin boys did not go through
Harrisburg without notice enclose you this
local for publication. j:

Madison.-Last week we spent a
few days in Madison. Everybody at the Cap
itol was very busy, the present state of affairs
throwing vast labor upon the Secretary,
Treasurer, and Bank Comptroller. We found
Mr.. GAYLORD busy in the Secretary's Office, but
his removal from the st. Croix Valley is not
permanent. The work on the Capitol is going
on. The Capitol park, now, as always in
summer is miracle of beauty. We dropped
into the State Historical Rooms, left some old
relics, and enjoyed an hours chat with that his
torical institution of Wisconsin-Hon. LYMAN
C. DRAPER. Madison is not commercial city,
but the beauty of its situation and the sur
rounding scenery, and its political and educa-
tional importance. is fast drawing to it class
of citizens possessing wealth cultare and taste,
who will finally make it one of the most de-
sirable places of residence in the State.

Our Boys.-Last week we spent some time
with Our Boys at Camp Randall, and re-
ceived hearty greeting from all and felt at
home Immediately. The Prescott Guards
though ranked as company B. dre admitted to
be \, Mol. The soldierly bearing of the Off
GERS and the respectful conduct of the men
have given the company aproud prc1emnence,
1t was matter of Pride with all of the COM
pany thai not man of their number has been
put in the guard house since they were in
camp. The boys have fine uniform, are all
well, and anxious to set foot on the soil of
Secession. They are proud of their officers,
as they have reason to be. At the invitation
of Capt. DILL and Lieut.. MARSH, we attended
the officers drill one day, and it was not GER
tainly entirely owing to local pride that made
US think that Company B. had the finest APP
pearing officers in the regiment.
We found NJ. r. FITCH, hard at work in the
Adjutant's office, jolly and enthusiastic. AT
ter parade for the day was over, the camp pre-
sented a lively scene. AS the regiment was to
leave SO soon, the grounds were thronged with
the friends of the soldiers. come 10 say "Good-
bye" Everywhere sitting by the tents, or
walking slowly over the grounds you could
see manly FORMS while close beside them was
the one "dearer than all other" We never
saw more beautiful faces than some which
here peeped out from beneath jaunty hats,
their beauty subdued and hallowed by the
dread anticipation of coming i'll. How will
the remembrance of those anxious faces. those
loving words and the last fearful embrace nerve
the soldier to meet peril and suffering, and
hold him by tender memories from the vices
and designations, of the camp. AS evening
came on, the tents were Lit up, and the boys
INDUCED in "thcir evening whist or euchre. -
The evening we were there the Prescott Boys
gave free concert. Rollin Converse was Mu-
steal Director, and the performance was loud
ly applauded. Many members of the other
companies and ladies assembled to hear tle
boys sing '!Dixie" "Jordan" and other fayorite
pieces
On Saturday the boys were all busy pack
ing their knapsacks and preparing to start on
the next morning. 1t was amusing to see
their enthusiasm arid listen to the jokes and
bandinage as one would strap on this KNAPP
sack and start off in double quick time" to
see if it would fit Well, loaded down with
messages to friends and many little keepsakes
for the loved ohes at home. we bid the boys
"good bye" We known that they will never
tarnish soldier honor nor bring blush to
the cheeks of those who viii affectionately
watch their career.
