PROTECTING THE PUBLIC PRoPERTY.-lf anything
else were needed to show the true character and
spirit of the Lincoln Government its shameless
pretence Of preserving and protecting the public
property and its vandal course regard TO the
property, would be sufficient to impress upon the
Washington authorities the neffaceable stamp Of
low, malignant hatred and envy Of the Southern
States
When the Washington deSpot proclaimed, with
sanctimonious regard for bis OATH that it was his
purpose to preserve and protect the public property,
he doubtless obtained the credulous confidence Of
the Northern people. When in utter disregard of
this avowed determination, he deliberately applied
the torch to valuable public property to prevent its
falling into the hands Of Virginia he gave the lie to
his own professions, and showed that he hated the
South more than he regarded the public interests.
What mOnstrous inconsistency Lincoln and his
advisers involve themselves in when in one breath
they proclaim the integrity of the Union and its
indSsoluhle nature and in the next moment with
the intensity of fanatical hatred destroy the very
property which they say belongs to the whole Union.
What faith confidence can be reposed in such dou-
bledealing hypocrtes? 1t is evidently the purpose
of the Lincoln GOV eminent, in the fixed and unal-
terabe dissolution which has taken place between the
North and South, to leave as little Of the common
property of all the States in the hands Of the South
Confederacy as it is possible for them to do
We shall get nothing from the North except what
extort from their fears their necessities
They will surrender nothing that they can hold with
safety and IN their rage and bated hatred will act
with Punic faith whenever and wherever we credu-
lousy confde in them.-Rich. Enquirer.

INCIDENTS OF THE BALTIMORE FIGHT-The follow
ing incidents of the fight in Baltimore on Friday
last, reported by the Exchange" Of that city
When the young man Ward was shot, he was
standing with others of his acquaintance upon the
pavement, one of whom witnessed the proceeding
and marking the man who fired the shot he drew
his revolver, and taking deadly aim, fired. The
soldier fell to the earth, and would have oeen torn
to pieces had the police not interfcred Being car
ried in store by, he was surrounded by sever
al citizens and it soon became evident that he was
dying. Whilst IN the last throes of death, he ex-
claimed 81 have got what DESERVED; | left peace
ful and happy home to come ana invade the land of
my brother" These were the last audible words he
uttered
resident of this city was forced by the rush of
the crowd in close proximity to of the soldiers
He raised his gun, and taxing deliberate aim pulled
the trigger. The cap exploded, but the gun failed
to go off. The citizen rushed forward, and seizng
the musket plunged the bayonet almost entirely
through his body
The soldier, who was an lrshman. fell to the
ground and was carried to the sidewalk, where he
called those around him to bear witness THAT he
thanked his God, although he was dying himself,
that his gun had not exploded; that he desir-
ed this service, and pressed into it under the
threats of death; that the people OF Baltimore did
right and that the rest of the troops deserved his
fate" At the moment of death he again repeated
his protest against this unhuly war upon brethren
and said he justified the people of Baltimore and
that he and his comrades had been led to believe
that the people of Baltimore thought exactly upon
political subjects as the people of Massachusetts, did

y UNION WOREINGMBN's MEETING IN PIIILADEL-

on Saturday night, rendering pedestrianism most
uncomfortable, the mass meeting of workingmen
IN Independence Hall square was largely attend

ankle deep in snow, listening to speeches from
their representatives. The employees of all the
large manufacturing establishments in the county
marched to the place Of meeting, bearing torches,
banners aud lanterns, and accompanied by bands
OF music. The mottoes inscribed on the banners
were mostly suggestive Of peace and Cancellation

probation Of the Crittenden compromise.

Fun In the London Skating PARKS.

For some days past since the frost set in 1t
was contemplated to have grand inspection
of several Of the volunteer rife corps on the
Serpentins, to be accompanied by an exhibit
skating matches. As far as the latter was con-
cerned it was carried out with the greatest
spirit last night, but the authorities being ap-
prehensive that if the former was allowed a
sacrifice of life might ensue, sent round to the
different depots warning the commanding Of
ficers of the danger of their sanctioning such q
proceeding. The muster of volunteers ex-
judging from the crowded state of the ice and
the vast multitude of persons who lined the
foet promenades, it was exceedingly fortunate
that il did not MIR. Inspector Grant of the A
division, with nearly so constables, were placed
on duty in Hyde park, in order to keep way
clear for the persons who might become i'm
mersed or otherwise injured to be passed to the
receiving house. During the day time, about
10000 persons, including many members Of
the Skating Club, amused themselves upon the
ice; but after the shades of evening set in a
sight took place which had never before been
witnessed in Hyde-park. Shortly after o'cl'k
something like 1000 persons went upon the
ice, and there were nearly half that number
who carried lighted famb beaus. Booths and tents
were erected upon the ice, having all the ap-
pearance Of country fair on a large scale.
The banks on either side of the Park were
crowded, there being over $50, 900 persons pres
ent, and toward o'clock the carriage roads
were crowded with vehicles. At that time the
pyrotechnic display began in earnest; all sorts
of fireworks were let off in almost every part of
the frozen river. There was also on the ice a
large pavilion, beautifully decorated, and illu-
minated with Chinese lanterns. This had been
got up by some enterprising publican for the
supply Of creature comforts" All sorts of
maneuvers, and dances, too, were gone through
byskaters, to the amusement Of the vast crowd.
AT 10 o'clock number of ladies undertook to
skate match for a sum of money, near the
eastern end Of the river, the prize being won
by Dutch woman, whose evolutions excited
the admiration of the spectators AS might
have been expected, large number of acci-
dents in the shape Of falls, causings cuts and
bruises, took place, as well as one or two i'm
mersions, but nothing more serious occurred.
The ice on the waters in the various other
parks were crowded during the day, and nu-
merous accidents-both ilmersions and falls
took place, but none of them happily of fatal
nature. The thermometer at the Royal HUI
mane Society's Receiving house on Monday
stood at 10 degrees At 9 O'Clock yesterday
morning it was at % degrees; and at noon the
mercury rose only l degree above freezing
