THE FIGHT ~ BALTIMORE.
At the depot If the Philadelphia Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad large crowd assembled
IN anticipation Of the arrival of the Massachusetts
regiment, and when the train reached the depot,
perfect storm Of abuse and wells greeted them
The troops proceeded towards the station of tie
Washington Branch in silence, in the midst Of a
shower OF stones, bricks, and other missiles The
hrst six cars were permitted to pass along without
violence.
The excitement of the crowd was Increased by
the addition Of Others from all parts swelling the
number Of those present TO about two hundred
The tenth car was observed approaching from
Pratt street bridge, when a number Of persons
seizing the nicks in the hands of the laborers,
made an Intellectual effort to tear up the track
Finding that they could not succeed, os a last
resort they took up the paving stones and threw
them on toe track, almost covering IL from
walton They also dumped a cart load Of sa nd on
tue bed OF the track placing also four five large
anchors thereon, they having bodily removed
them from the sidewalk This car then returned
to toe President street depot. Al this poia, there
still remained upwards of twenty cars filled with
the troops, and five six cars which had been
used for the reception Of ammunition. baggage,
&c After the lapse Of . quarter of an hour the
command was given for the troops 20 disembark
and form on the outside.
Having formed upon the sidewalk the crowd
pressed closely upon them, and a secession dag
brought forward, the whole party cheering for
the South. Lieut. L. F Lynd, Of company c.
snatched the flag from their bands, tore it from
the staff. and then quietly resumed his place in
his company. Several stones were hurled at him,
some Of which struck him on the head but with
out doing serious injury. The Color Guard had
great dinculty in preserving their flag, and were
made the object OF the most serious attack The
Guard Were struck repeatedly with stones aud
bricks, and seriously bruised, but they manfully
fought their way, and carried The regimental stars
and stripes safely through.
From the President street depot to Pratt street
bridge they were pursued by the excited crowd
who continued to hail stones, and, It is stated,
nrsd at them with muskets, &c. Mayor Brown
had put himself at the head Of the column with
strong body Of police The soldiers continued
on up Pratt street over the bridge, where several
others were badly injured by the stones thrown at
the rear ranks. They came along at brisk pace
and when they reached Market Space an immense
concourse Of people closed in behind them and
commenced stoning them.
When they reached Gay street, where the track
bad been torn up, large crowd Of men armed
with paving stones showered them on their heads
with such force Whatsoever Of them were knocked
down In the ranks. After laying few moments
they crawled on their hands and knees into some
OF the stores on Pratt street.
After they fell there was further attack made
on themi and those thus wounded were taken to
epothecary stores for medical attendance
At the corner u South and Pratt streets man
fred pistol into the ranks Of the military when
those In the rear ranks Immediately wheeled and
nred their AssailantS and
wounded.
The guns ofthe soldiers that had fallen wounded
were seized, and fred upon the ranks with fatal
effect in two or three Instances.
After they reached Calvert treet they succeeded
In checking their pursuers by rapid FIRE, which
brought down two or three, and were not much
molested until they reached Howard street. where
another large crowd was assembled, some stones
were thrown at them but their guns were not
loaded, and they passed on through the dense
crowd down Howard street toward the depot
The scene on Pratt street was Of the most start
ling character. The wounded soldiers, three in
number Were taken up carefully, and carried to
places OF safety By the citizens along the street
At the Camden station an immense mass OF per-
sons had collected and stretched along the track
TO the amount Of six or seven thousand. A large
detachment Of the police, under Marshal Kane
succeeded in clearing the track near the main
building.
AS the troops were changing cars at the Cam
den station, number Of men appeared at the
doors with revolvers but the oicers of the troops
drawing their swords, proven ed any serious out
break. Fears were entertained that the trac
would be torn up, and a strong body of police
were dispatched to protect II. Shortly after the
train len body Of northern Infantry about $50
strong, appeared, and had some difficulty, and
several shots were fred, but without doing serious
damage.
Capt. Dyke, Of the company which was In the
rear, and shot In the whilst passing throug h
Baltimore, was thought to be quite seriously IN
jured, and indeed az one time supposed dead; but
telegraphic dispatch, received at a late hour
last evening from Baltimore where he remains,
spoke hopefully Of bis condition.
Mayor Brown himself was the first man to fire
shot, he having seized musket from one of the
soldiers, and shot dead Of the foremost Of the
mob. The Baltimore papers Of this morning,
however, are silent In respect to this action Of the
Mayor.
