New York, August 2.

1t appears that the New York Fifth
Regiment, en- route home, was stoned while
passing through the sixth ward, In Balti-
more, on Wednesday night, by crowd
who cheered for JEFF. Davis. The firing
was returned with bullets, principally at
one house. Citizens protesting to be Un>
ionlsts, begged them to stop. Another
report says the soldiers charged bayonets
on men lining the sidewalk. Several shots
were fired, but nobody was hurt but an
officer, who, in endeavoring to arrest a
rioter, was slightly stabbed. Several
arrests were made, but all were released
on taking the oath Of allegiance to the
United States

stand by the Gorernment.

In this terrible crisis Of our national af-
fairs, it is the duty of every citizen to stand
by the Government. The recent disastrous
defeat of our forces, more than ever, places
every friend of the Union under obligations
to rally under our old fqg-the stars and
stripes.
Whatever may have been our opinions
in regard to the policy of considering and
proposing terms for compromise and peace,
the great repulse leaves little grounds for
hope in that direction. The country is
indeed in an appalling condition. Our in
situations and form of government are
threatened with destruction ard it be-
hooves every genuine patriot and friend Of
the Union to prepare for the desperate
struggle which is approaching.
The rebels, encouraged aud emboldened
| by their success, will rush to the conflict
with greater enthusiasm and impetuosi;y.
Already has tile effect of our defeat caused
them to put forth more gigantic efflrts in
| their desperate undertaking. The war
feeling has received fresh impetus, and
vast armies are marching from all sections
of the disloyal States to meet our troops in
/ battle.
1t therefore can be no longer matter of
| doubt that our government Is in imminent
/ peril. Our enemies, flushed with victory,
no longer confne their operations to de-
fensive measures, but are making prepare
/ tons for carrying the war into our borders.
Even now, while We write, there are appre-
/ tensions of an attack upou our national
capital.
Under these circumstances, there is no
other alternative for loyal citizens Of the
/ Northern States than to sustain the powers
that be.
1t is true we had no hand in the selec-
ton Of President Lincoln or his cabinet,
nor do we approve or endorse their adj
ministrative policy, nevertheless, we owe
/ a duty to our Government, in the present
/ emergency, which is above all partizan
claims or feelings. The President and his
cabinet constitute the Government and
the situation Of affairs, since the great bat.
tie, is such that they need the support Of
the intelligence, the patriotism and virtue
of the whcle people, without regard to the
party questions which, heretofore aud at
present divide us.
More battles will have to be fought and
more blood flow, before the contest will he
decided. 1t must not be given up on our
part however until we have gained vie
tory. The struggle will be terrible; for
/ the rebels will fight as men never fought
before, but the brave hearts and strong
arms Of the North will sustain the Gov
eminent until our glorious national en-
blem shall once more wave in triumph, and
therebel5 he made to acquiesce in terms for
an honorable peace.

Gen. scoti and the Late Battle.

The debate in the house between Messrs
Burnett, Richardson. Blair and Stevens,
was highly interesting and exciting. Mr..
Richardson, of Illinois, concluded his re-
marks as follows:

The Genuine Union Party.

There is but one genuine Union party
and that party is the Democratic party.
There Is not, or never has been dis
unionists in the Democratic party of the
North. Democrats have always stood by
the constitution aid opposed sectionalism
and disunionIsm. For years they have
been denounced as Union savers" by the
very men who are now so clamorous in
their professions of lore for the Union
If there are disunionsts or secession
lists" in reality, amongst us, they must bo
in the Republican party. 1t cannot 30
denied that the Aboltionists, who, for
years, like Major General n, P. Banks,
have been ready, in certain contingency,
to "let the Union slide" all belong to the
Republican party. Until the last six
months these men have been talking aud
voting against the peace and harmoby Of
the Union. Their repentance has come too
late. After they have destroyed the Union,
they begin to appreciate its priceless value
Away with such hypocrites, we say. II
the country ever comes safely cut Of its
present peril, it must be by the triumph of
the Democracy. The first triumph Of Re.
publicanism has destroyed the Union
which under the influence Of Democratic
rule had been preserved in peace and pros.
perity for seventy years. Therefore let
the Democratic party organize for the fail
elections, and make an effort to roll back
the cloud Of disunionism that is lowering
over our fair country and staining its sa-
cred soil with fraternai blood.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times.

Special Dispatch TO tue Chicago Times
Cairo, Aug 3.
The arrival Of Gen. Fremont, and the
large reinforcement of troops that accom-
PANIED him, yesterday, is taken among all
circles as an earnest that battle will
speedily ensue in Southeastern Missouri
BY the we'll informed it is believed thai,
If Gen. Pillow does not attack Birds Point
within ten days, Gen. Fremont will make a
forward movement and engage him wher
ever he can find him.
A report. which is not fully believed,
gained circulation to day that JEFF Thomp
son was descending the Cairo aud Fulton
Railroad, and will attack Birds Point to
morrow. and that, to cooperate with him
Gen. Pillow has commenced moving from
New Madrit at the head of the troops bro't
there from Union City.
Our troops VIII not be surprised if at
tackled al any moment, although an attack
within the next twenty four hours is not
looked for.
1t is reported that there are two compa
MES forming In Jackson aud Williamson
counties, Illinois, for the rebel service.
Ballard county. Kentucky, is the scene
of continual conflict between Uuion men
and secessonisfs. Many Union men are
leaving the county.

The war fleet has returnedto St. Louis,
General Fremont taking passage on the

their tents, and are now comfortably quar-
tered.

The probabilities of an attack create less

All who have perused the columns of
the Joliet Signal, must be forced to the con
clusion that, whether Intentionally or not,
1t Is doing more 20 promote the cause OF
the rebels than the editors could accom-
pish by taking up arms and fighting un-
der the banner Of JEFF. Davis.-Ifue DEM
ocrat
Such is the charge brought against US,
by the editor of the "negro emancipation
sheet of this city. Because we are not in
favor of making this an Abolition war and
DO not endorse the incendiary acts of Love
JOY and POmeroy and the blood thirsty
crew that are bowling at the heels Of Gen.
Scott, we are denounced for want of 10y
atty. We defy any man to point out
single sentence which has been published
in the Signal, since the war commenced,
that will bear the construction given by
our Abolition neighbor. That we have
cheerfully supported the Administrator in
all its lawful efforts to suppress the rebel
lion, our readers will bear us witness. At
the same time we have spoken freely in
condemnation of acts of usurpation by GER
tain military officers. and shall continue to
do so as long as these acts are permitted
The truth is, instead Of the sentiments ex-
pressed by the Signal promoting the cause
of JEFF Davis, it is the Nominations of
L9vejoy and his Abolition followers that
is doing the mischief.
