headed by man with a'secession nag, mao
gathered around them and threatened thell
aduance. They, however, proceeded on
their march, but had not gone far before
they were assaied by missiles of every kind
and pressed upon by an immense mob. A
conflict became inevitable, several of the
Massachusetts men were struck, and it is
reported that four were killed. The first
man hurt was struck on the head by piece
of iron thrown from a building and almost
instantly killed Then the troops fired up-
on the crowd, killing and wounding num-
Der of them. They resumed their march
and passed successfully through.
In the meanwhile the Pennsvlvanians re-
manned in the cars at the Baltimore Depot,
awaiting transportation through the city
This soon became impossible on account of
the excitement, and the placing other OBJ
structions on the road. General Small then
made every effort to have the troops sent
back out of the city, beyond the reach of
danger, as his men were entirely unarmed.
The confusion which prevailed prevented as
prompt action as was necessary, aud before
the cars could be removed, they were assail-
by the mob returning from the conflict with
the Massachusetts troops. The windows of
the cars were broken by the m1ssels thrown
in, and number of the men injured.
The Pennsylvanians behaved gallantly,
and many of them sprang from the cars
upon their assailants, and engaged in hand
70 hand conflict with them. 1t was impos-
sible, however, to distinguish friends from
foes, as the mob was composed of Union
men and seces;onists, who were fighting
among themselves, and the Pennsy ylvanians,
not being uniformed, could not be distin-
guished from either.
This state Of things continued more than
two hours when Marshal Kane, Chief of
Police of Baltimore, appeared upon the
ground, restored something like order, and
placed the Pennsylvanians in cars ready to
be returned to the North. The officers and
men from Pennsylvania conducted them
selves during the whole of these trying and
periIous times with the utmost courage and
deliberation. Regular troops could net have
behaved better.
During the excitement, and while ne was
making arrangements to have the troops
sent back, Gen. Small was cut off from any
communication with his command by the
mob, who made an attack upon the depot as
he was coming out of it. He was pointed
out as one Of the soldiers, and came nearly
falling into the hands of the mob, when he
cooly turned the tide in another direction by
appearing TO be engaged in looking at some
goods at the depot.
Myers, one of the officers, was knocked
down and his sword taken from him, and he
was stabbed several times in the side.
Lieut.. Col. Schoenieber was cut badly
above and below the eye.
Captain Keefer of Second Regiments, has
his thumb nearly cut of.
James Daugherty, of Company A. had his
arm broken.
The main body came back last night,
reaching Broad and Prime streets about
IL o'clock.
The following order was issued last night
by Mr.. Goodfellow, Acting Adjutant Of the
Washington Brigade, after his retcrn to the
city
"Oficers commanding companies will

in the attack attak at Baltimore, this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, at the Montgomery Hotel.
At II o'clock officers viii report at the same
place the number of men ready for equip
meats and marching"
A German, it was said, died on his way
up from Baltimore from injuries received.
A number of men we're bruised by stones
and other missels thrown at them; but
full list cannot be obtained until the report
is made this morning.
Sergeant Bolaud of The Frankford Guard,
who was reported killed, turned up this
morning unhurt. We have been unable to
learn how he got back to Philadelphia, which
he reached this morning. Lieutenant Grit,
who was left at Havre de Grace, to look up
stragglers. telegraphed that FIVE had turned
up at that point.
Captain Ritman, of the Frankfort Guard,
tells us to-day that he feels confident that
Linnaeus r. Jennings, q member of the
company, is killed. He was last seen in
desperate conflict with the Baltimore mob.
We have it upon the authority of Captain
E. w. Power, of the Buena Vista Guard,
that when the dead body of Philadelphia
volunteer, who had been killed, had been
put IN car by his comrades, the mob seize
ed the corpse and kicked it about in the
street until they actually kicked the jaw off.
The following telegraphic correspondence
was had between the Mayors of the cities
of Baltimore and Boston, Immediately after
the above row
Hon. John A. Andrew. Governor of Mass.
SIR No one deplores the sad event of
yesterday, in this city, more deeply than my
self but they were inevitable. Our people
viewed the passage of armed troops to an
other State through our streets, as an inya-
sion of our soil, and could not be restrained.
The authorities exerted themselves to the
best of their ability, but with only partial
success. Gov. Hicks was present and con-
ours in all my views. As to the proceedings
now necessary for our protection. When
are these scenes to cease? Are we to have
war of scGons! God forbid. The bodies
of the Massachusetts, soldiers could not be
sent out to Boston as you requested, as all
