tween here and Washington, is incorrect.

nounced that the presidents of the roads had
promised that they would bring no more
troops this way.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Massachu'
sets troops arrived here this evening. They
are quartered at the capital. Several of them
were wounded in Baltimore, and were sent 10
the iufirmary, while others who were injured
in that city are on duty with their comrades.
ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT.
HBRRIsBURG, April 19.-The following is
the best account of the fight in Baltimore that
l can get. The train arrived at Baltimore
about II o'clock with 20 cars Without dis
embarking, the sevSral cars had horses attach
ed, and about nine were drawn along Pratt
street to Camden station, the first SIX without
creating any marked objection. For some
reason the horses attached to the seventh car
became FESTIVE, and were taken from the car
at Pratt street bridge, and the ca moved with
out their aid to within short distance of Gay
street. Between Gay and Frederick streets a
number of laborers were engaged inrepairing
the bed of the street, and just at the moment
the car reached Gay street they were engaged
in removing cobble stones troui the principal
portion of the street.. gSIo
Some thirty or turty men assembled at this
point, having followed the car from the depot,
and with cheers for Davis and the southern
contederacy, hurled bitter taunts the north
ern black republicans, as they termed them.
This continued tor several minutes, when,
as the horses were again attached, and the car
moved off. 1t was proposed to stone it. Be
fore the car had gone twenty yards almost ev-
ery window therein was broken to pieces, and
a portion OF the crowd followed considerable
distance hurting paving stones. Those per.
sons not in uniform, who were standing on the
platform, hastily jumped off to avoid tile
shower of stones
The eighth car was treated in the same
manner, but the ninth car apparently being
empty, or at least no person being visible, es-
capped with only one stone.
The crowd excited in their work, excam
ed that black republicans should not pass
through Maryland a lapse OF five minutes
succeeded. A number OF respectable persons
in the meantime urged the crowd to tear up
the track. After on train had passed, one
was observed on Pratt street bridge, when an
chors were dragged on the track at the corner
OF Gay street, and part of the track was torn
up Observing this, the cars were turned
back to Pratt street depot, and the men
disembarked and prepared to MARCH through
the city. Mayor Brown with number OF po-
lice appeared at their head and led the way.
They came along at brisk pace, andwhim-
they reached the Centre Market space, an er
mense concourse of people closed in behind
them, and commenced stoning them. When
they reashed Gay street, where the track had
been taken up, Il large crowd OF men, armed
with paving stones, showered them ON their
heads with such force that several OF them
were knocked down in the ranks. After lay
ing few minutes, they crowded into the
stores on Pratt street. AT the corner of South
aud Pratt Streets man fired pistol into the
ranks OF the militia when those in the rear
ranks Immediately wheeled and fired upon
their assailants and several were wounded
The guns of the soldiers that had fallen
wounded, were seized and fired upon the ranks
with fatal effect in one or two instances.
After they reached Calvert street they snc.
ceeded in checking their pursuers by rapid
fire, which brought down two or three, and
were not much molested until they reached
Howard street. where another large crowd was
assembled. Some stones were thrown at
them, but their guns we're not loaded, and
they passed on through dense crowd, down
Howard street towards the depot. Tie scene
ON Pratt street was one of the most startling
character The wounded soldiers, three in
number, were taken up carefully and carried
TO places OF safety by the citizens along the
street.
AT Camden station, where the trains leave
for Washington, was assembled large detach
ment of police under direction OF Marshal
Kane. 1t soon appeared that orders were CIV
en- to clear the tracks near the main depot
building. This was done, and soon after,
large passenger car of the Philadelphia rail
road came up at rapid rate filled with sol.
dIers. This was soon followed by about
sixteen more, all occupied by the militery.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that they con
sisted of regiment OF Massachusetts infantry
commanded by Col. e. +. Jones and Lieut.
Col. Shattuck, in all eleven companies, with
an aggregate of $50 men. AS soon as the
cars arrived, some of the troops were
compelled to change cars, when they were
hooted at by the crowd but made no overt act.
Several young men appeared at one of the
cars and displayed reviewers, whereupon the
captain OF one company drew his sword and
declared he would protest his men. Soon after
the train was ready to start, and many expect
ed it to start immediately but it did not |
move till half past II the delay being ulade by !
information that q large crowd OF excited men !
