dent Of the Baltimore Convention after Caleb
Cushing left the chair. But this instance Il not
worth particularizing, when Douglas. Bigler,
Gen. Cas-, and the entire Democratic party Of
the North. partisans and presses. both great and
small, have all fallen into the support Of the Fed
eral Government, and show as much alacTlty IN
volunteering and liberallty IN rendering money,
as any other portion Of the community. Indeed,
80 overwhelming now is the war feeling IN the
North, that thew Glre not DO otherwise then %
with the current. To refuse 70 do 30 in many
places. even in New York city, would bring mob
fury upon them. The HaGH, and many other
papers that have all along bolstered up Secession,

The cOmmOtiOn WAS quieted by adjournment, for
this rare Convention never allows action 70 be
taken under impulse and excitement. The whole
city, however, has been IN a ferment since Jack
sons speech. Ii opens 4 new and threatening
phase Of secession. The Hobbies Of the hotels are
filled with anxious and excited citizens, who de-
bate the crisis with more intensity of feeling than
ever.
BALTIMORE IN a PoSITIOS TO FIGHT.-Balti-
more papers say that there are now IL, 900 per-
SONS in that city armed and ready to resist 70 the
death the passage of any more Northern troops
through that city. The BaltimOreans could also
depend upon aid from the surrounding counties.
They have an insufhciency Of proper arms, par
ticularly Of cannon. The citizens have hired 4
newly invented steam gun of the exhibitor, Mr..
Dickson, which is designed to throw 200 balls q
minute. Another gun of this pattern has been
made ut the foundry of the millionaire Winans.
Everything points 10 severe conflicts to take place
in MARYLAND. The Government will not pass
troops through the city at present, but the Pres
ident has declared that he soon may be forced TO
do so.

North Carolina has issued an order for the imme-

General has issued an order directing the entire

Col. CoRCoRAS's REGIMENT.-The Goth Regi-
ment of New York city, your readers are aware,
is made up of Irish citizens. On the occasion of
the visit Of the Prince of Wales, they refused to
turn out in his honor. Col. Corcoran, for this
disobedience, was put under arrest and charges
preferred against him, and the regiment was vir-
tually disban1ed. On the call of the President
for volunteers, Col. COrcoran and his officers ex-
pressed themselves with enthusiasm for active
service. The charges against him were with
drawn, and he proceeded to reform the regiment
with such success that more than 5000 men en-
rolled their names, in the hope of being able 10
fight under the banner of the 69th. An order was
however, that the regiment was not 10
exceed 1000, and that number was put aboard
the steamer James Adger and sailed for Washing
ton on the Odd. The 5 1000 and odd who could
not go were sadly disappointed, but will be ready
for the next requisition.
