The Philadelphians who, unequipped and
uniformed, remained in the last car at the
station, were assaulted with stones and other
missiles, and some were slightly wounded.
The train was taken back. Quite num-

difficulty on the road between here and
Washington is incorrect.

Presidents of the roads had promised that
they would bring no more troops this way.

10 BALTIMORE. April 10.
1t can scarcely be true that any of the
railroad bridges are to be blown up to pre-
vent the passage of trains. Twenty-nine
cars containing Massachusetts troops ar
rived at the depot. Without disembarking
soldiers from the trains, the several cars
had horses attached to them, and about
nine were drawn from Pratt street to Cam
den station. They passed without creating
any disturbance.
For some reason the horses attached to
the seventh car were taken off at the Pratt
street bridge, and the cars moved without
their aid to Camden. At short distance
from Jay street, between Jay and Frederick
streets, number of laborers were engaged
in repairing the bed of the street, and just
as the troops arrived the laborers assembled
and gave cheers for Davis and the Southern
Confederacy, and they hurled bitter taunts
at Northern Black Republicans.
This continued for several moments, when
as the horses were again attached, and the
car moved eff, it was proposed to stone it.
Before the car had gone twenty yards, al
most every Window in it was broken, and a
portion of the crowd followed considerable
distance, hurting stones.
The eighth car was attacked in the same
manner, but the car being apparently empty,
was only reached by one stone. The crowd
exalted in their work, exclaiming that the
Black Republicans should not pass through
Maryland. ~
A lapse of five minutes succeeded, q
number of respectable persons in the mean
while urging the crowd to tear up the track
of the railroad. After the first train had
passed, one was observed on Pratt street
bridge, when distractions were placed on
the track, and portion of it torn up. OBJ
serving this, the cars were turned back to
