 THE PHILADELPHIA VOLUNTEERS.
 In our issue of Saturday last we noted many particulars relative to the l, 2oo Voi- untecrs from Philadelphia, and their hur- ried departure from the city in the same train in which they arrived, but there are many details which may not prove uillh- teresting to our readers. AL the tiilio .h0 attack was made upon the tram oy the III, furiated people who had assembled atouh' it. some two hundred of the volunteers De- came separated from their comrades, ana being set upon, fled in all directions A laroe number of them were taken Tn charge bv the police department, and under the1r nyotection were escorted to the Eastern sta. ion house and confined in the rooms to protect them from the vengeance of the excited multitude. By invitation ot the captain we passed into the cells for the pur- pose of asceitaining the number of inmates. We found one Hundred and ten ot them huddled together. A more miserable look ing body of men we have never cast eyes upon, many being without sufficient cloth ing to cover their nakedness, and in addi- ton to their squalidness were nearly fam ished for want of food.
 THE FEELING AMONG THEM.
 Among those confined were number of the Lowell Brass Band, accompanying the Massachusetts regiment. We were inform ed by the leader of the band, that upon the departure of the regiment from Lowell, the band were requested to accompany them as far as Boston; they willingly acquiesced, and started in eompsny with the military, as they supposed, for pleasure trip. Upon their arrival in Boston city, they were in- formed by Col. Jones, the commanding officer, that they would be compelled to accompany the troops to Washington city. Objections were made by many of them, who were opposed to the unholy mission, when Col Jones informed them that they must go, and in case of refusal, they would be arrested, imprisoned, and in all proba bility, hanged.
 THE DECEPTION MADE USE OF.
 He also stated that the representations made to them, as well as to the whole body of troops, were to the effect that the feel ing of the people ef Maryland upon politi cal topics was exactly the same as that of the people of Massachusetts, and that abo- litionists were as plentiful here as black berries. They were further informed that the troops would, upon their arrival at Bal timore, stop over night, and would be en- tertained by the citizens in most hand some manner. Under these promises the troops consented to come, many of them, however, asserting privately that they would never consent to raise an arm against their southern brethren.
 THE VOLUNTEER FORCES.
 We found those of the Philadelphia vol unteers who were sufficiently civilized to speak English, exceedingly communicative, and stated that nine-tenths of them were suffering for the necessities of life, and were induced by the recruiting officers to enlist, upon the promise of large salaries for their services. They were further in- formed that the troops from Harrisburg on Thursday last were received by the citizens of Baltimore with great enthusiasm, and were escorted through the city to the Phila- delphia depot by several companies of mill tary, and that upon their arrival in Balti- more, they would also receive an escort from depot to depot Supposing that they would be handsomely treated, they con- sented to come They had been without food one day and night. The captain of the district kindly provided for them dur ing their stay.
 By order of Marshal Kane an arrange ment was perfected with Mr. Crawford of the Philadelphia railroad company for the tranSpartat;op-of the poor 9ellowa to theirs homes by special train and about 64 o'clock the whole party were escorted to a train formed at the intersection of Broadway and Eastern Avenue. As they were about to leave, many of them were completely over- come by their feelings, and grasping the hands of their deliverers, they shed tears quite freely, and expressed themselves as determined never to raise hand against the people who had protected them and re- lieved their wants. A large concourse of people assembled to witness their depar- ture, and although the excitement was in- tense, no insult whatever was offered.
 CAUGHT IN THE COUNTIES.
 Many of those who escaped from the mob at the depot struggled into the country in every direction, and were relieved by the farmers. One party of about fifty be- came scattered throughout the neighbor hood to Belair, when they were seized upon by the citizens and were immediately com mitled to the jail in that town. They will be confined until the existing difficulties are over.
 BRAVE SOLDIER.
 As we have before stated, many of the crowd were frightened almost ont of their wits, but one scene was so exceedingly rich that we cannot refrain from giving it in detail. During the attack upon them at the depot, previous tothe departure ot the train, huge German, about six feet six, rushed wildly forth from the cars, with his hair streaming in the wind, crying Mien Gott. mien Gott, save me, save me, etc A police officer rushed forward and endea- vorea to protect him from the assaults of the crown, when the brave volunteer" thinking no doubt that lie would be killed, drew forth an immense butcher knife, about elgQte6n lncncS HI lSiiSIi, duu DaShiuS uP against car, cried for mercy.
 The crowd rushed upon him, when the officer seized the knife, wrested 1t from his grasp and conveyed him to the station house, thus saving his life. He was placed ina cell to await the action of the magis- trate, when he prayed to be forgiven, with tears running from his eyes. After having been confined for some time, he was brought before Justice Griffin, when he was asked why he had drawn the knife upon the officer?
 Dntch-Oh. mein Gott, shentlemen, for gif me, I didn't want for to kill hopody init dat nife
 Justice-Wha your name?
 Dutchy-( (blabbering)- name ish Miller, ion Philadelphia; l ish folnnteer; l ish a soger.
 Justice-Well, sir, don't you know that it is melting riot to draw knife in the street?
