wounded. The train was taken back

| |, can scarcely be true that any of the
railroad bridges are to be blown up TO
prevent The passing OF trains.
70 cars containing the Mass, regiment,
! arrived at the depot without olsen barking
soldiers from the train. The several cars
| had horses attached, and about nine were
re drawn from Pratt street to Capon sta
ton,
The first six without creating any dis
turbance, for some reason The horses
attached TO the 9TH car were taken off at
the Pratt street bridge, and the car moved
without their aid to Capon, short dis
lance from Gay street, between Gay and
Fredeic lex streets. A number of laborers
were engaged in repairing the bed of the
street just at that moment. Some 80 or
40 assembled there, having followed the
car from The depot with cheers for Davis
and the Southern Confederacy, hurled bit,
ter taunts at the Northern Black Repub
licans. This continued for some time,
when as the horses were again attached,
and the car moved off, it was proposed to
stone them. Before the car had gone
twenty yards, almost every window was
broken, and portion of the crowd fol-
lowed considerable distance hurting
stones.
The Sth car was attacked in the same
mahner, but the 9th car, being apparently
empty, reached with only one stone, the
crowd exuted, in other words exclaiming
that the Black Republicans should not
pass through Maryland. A lapse of FIVE
minutes succeeded.
A number of respectable persons in the
meanwhile were urging the crowd to tear
up the track. After the first train had
passed, one was Observed on Pratt street
bridge with distractions. A portion of
the track was taken up; observing this
the cars we're turrel back to the President
street depot, and men disembarked thro'
the city. Mayor Brown with number
of police appeared at their head, and led
the way.
They came along at brisk pace, and
on reaching the market, an immense con
course of people closed in behind them,
and commenced stoning them. When
they reached Gay street where the track
had been taken up, a large crowd Of nen
arrived with paving stones, and showered
them on their heads with such force that
several of the troops were knocked down.
A: the corner of South and Pratt sts,
a man fred pistol into the ranks of the
militia, when those in the rear ranks fired
upon their assaiants.
The guns of the soldiers that had fallen
wounded were seized and fred upon the
ranks with fatal effect in two or three in
stances. After they reached Culvert st ;,
they succeeded in checking their pursu-
ers by rapid fire, which brought down
two or three. When they reached How
ard street another large crowd was col
iected some stones were thrown at them;
their guns were not loaded, and they pass
ed on down toward the depot.
1t appeared that orders were given to
clear the tracks, near the main depot
building. This was done, and soon after
large passenger car of the Philadelphia
& Baltimore r. R. came up at rapid rate,
.filled with the soldiers.
The CO. was soon followed by about
sixteen more, al Of which were occupied
b" the military, in all eleven companies,
forming an aggregate of $50 men. As
soon as the train arrived, some of the
troops were compelled to change cars,
when they were hooted at by the crowd,
butno overt act was committed.
A few minutes after the train left, a
discharge of fire arms attracted, the atten
ton of the crowd TO the vicinity of Pratt
Il Howard sts., when a body of infantry
from one of the northern States, about
$50 strong, was seen rapidly approaching
the depot, and no doubt anxious to reach
the cars. Some assaulted the command
with stones, when q number of the latter
discharged their muskets
A crowd broke into the warehouse of
Patterson d. Walfred, on Long Dock, this
evening, and * therefrom some 400 ri
tles and swords.
