the 9th Massachusetts, Regiment and 9Th New
York Regiment, and a battery Of artillery
They marched through Baltimore to Federal
Hill, a high point of ground on the south side
of the harbor, and directly overlooking the city
mile west from Fort McHenry.
Prominent citizens accom- panied the troops to
the Hill, and assisted the officers IN taking the
best route and procuring quarters for the troops,
until their tents could arrive.
st. Louis, May l3 1t is stated that the first
| firing at Camp jackson Friday evening was
some half d. zen shots near the head of the col
umns of the First regiment, headed by volley
OF stones and il pistol shot from the crowd. No
one was hurt at this point. The second firing
occurred from the rear Of the column guarding
! the prisoners. The crowd here was large and
very abusive, and one man discharge ed three bar
relS OF revolver at Lieut.. FaxtLn of the regu-
lar service, many of the mob cheering him and
drawing revolvers and firing at the troops. The
man who commenced the attack then rested his
pistol across his arm, and was taking deliberate
aim at Lieut. Faxon when he was thrust through
with bayonet, fired upon, and instantly killed.
The column then moved on having received or
ders TO march, and several of them shot, halted
and fired, causing the deaths already reported
The order was then given by Cart. Lyon to
cease firing, which was promptly obeyed. The
principal arms taken from Camp jackson were
tour large sized howitzers, two ten inch cannon,
and some 5000 u. S. muskets, supposed to be a
portion Of those taken from Baton Rouge ARISEN

Progress of the War.

The conflict between the Rebel troops ana the
/ forces of the United States cannot much longer
be deferred. The Gulf States, after having
dragged their next Northern sisters into the
same pit with themselves, are now putting the
battle field as far as possible from their own
homes. Jeff. Davis is beyond question moving
| al his available forces North, and means that
the war shall be near or over the border. And
from present indications there is not much doubt
that he will, in that respect, accomplish his
purpose. Virginia, after having pretended to
act as mediator between the Government and
the traitors and then joined the Rebels, now will
have the fatal distinction of being made the
battle-ground of the earlier position Of the cam
paign. Her own troops and the troops Of the
Confederate States are mastering all through
her eastern townships. Harper's Ferry is strong
" garrisoned, and an advance guard have taken
and are iortifying strong portion on the Mary
land side at that point. Whatever else the
Rebels may lack, they certainly don't lack en-
ergy and promptness, and lose no time in seiz
ing every possible advantage.
1t now seems certain that the Government has
determined to retake the arsenal there, and that
Gen. Buffers movements are made with that
purpose though he is doubtless first making
lure that there shall be no attack from Balt-
more on the rear. The Rebel leaders have ev-
aently given up any purpose they may have en-
(ertaned of making an immediate descent on
Washington and it is by no means certain that
hey have had any such plan, except in case
Maryland should secede and resist the march
Federal troops over her territory. That they
Ultimately hope to possess the Capital is UNI
Auestionably a part of their scheme, but they
eem to havo abandoned 1t for the present as i'm
Practicable. The traitors are now acting very
arefuly on the defensive, and making the great
st exertions in their power to defend themselves
om the attack of the Government troops.
And it now seems probable that there will be
loodshed on the Mississippi as soon as on the
0tomac Federal forces are concentrating in
beat strength at Cairo and the vicinity and
Memphis and that negnoornood the Rebels
Fe gathering their hastily collected armies. The
aitors boastingy talk of invading the Free
lates, but this is evidently all bluster, while
eir real purpose is to encourage Kentucky into
cession, and prepare as they best may for an
kpected invasion from the great Northwest.
In Missouri the war seems to have actually
bmmenced, and the Unionists are defending
emselves against the attempted mob law Of
secessionists. There will very soon be need

Union sentiment is Thoroughly aroused under the
news of the secession of Virginia and the fight
in Baltimore, and the reported marching on
Washington by jeff Davis. A monster Union
demonstration was to be held in San Francisco
