that Mr.. VIM. Eyrne, Of Baltimore, "a native OF
this city) had gone with q military company
from Baltimore to Virginia, In connection with
gentleman of the name Of Johnson. and that he
had to leave that city on account OF being con-
nected with the riot Of the 10th ultimo.
Now, sir, instead Of these allegauons oelng
true, Mr.. Byrne left Baltimore bv the advice OF
his physician, In order to recover his health, not
at the head Of a company, but in buggy, In
tending to go to some Of the springs IN the inte-
rior Of Virginia.
As to his having to leave Baltimore, l have
now before me letters from himself and sister,
received on the 10th inst, In which Ii 10 stated
that he was quiet in his bed when the Massachu-
sets troops were attacked. and knew nothing Of
1t until Ii was over In addition to this, the Bal
tmore Sun, Of the dav before the riot, contained
an article showing that, at public meeting, he
exhorted the people to remain orderly and quiet,
and to do no act which would bring them into
collision with the troops expected to pass through
This being the case, ask you the favor, as an
act Of common justice, to publish these facts, to
show that common rumor, or In whatever way
the report originated, has done Mr.. Byrne gross
and palpable Injustice in connecting his name
with the riot, agent of the secession party
in levying troops for service in Virginia or else
where. A FRIEND.
BLANKET SEINKs.-Yesterday, about noon, a
dozen or more men and boys had lively and
exciting time catching catfish and perch In the
Capitol branch at Third street. The fishers were
mostly soldiers, who felt inclined to obtan little
variety to their mess tables. The seines used
Were blankets, and the men by dragging them
Into the acute bends Of the branch would some
times lift up dozen or more Of small perch and
catfish, while the small boys along jumped In to
secure the fish before they could escape from the
blankets into the water. The lookers-on enjoved
the scene as much az the soldiers and boys did
the sport.
