BALTIMORE, May 1.
In Judge Bonds charge to the grand jury,
after recitiny the occurrences of 10th Of
April, he said 1t is your duty, gentle.
men, under the solemn oaths you have ia
ken, impartially to inquire into these oc-
currences, and present such persons as bore
part in the riot. The very existence of
society depends upon your faithful dis
charge of this duty. You will inquire
whether there was preconcerted prepara-
ton, and by whom. You are bound to
present those who aided in obstructing the
railroad, prevented the safe march Of the
troops, and assisted in impeding their pas
sage. At the same time it is your duty to
inquire whether any of our own citizens
were, without justification or provocation,
fired upon by troops and killed.
Besides the loss of life, the violence done
to property, the breaking into stores, the
assuming of unlawful authority, the irregu-
lar and illegal arming of troops, and the
attempt, by organizations unknown to the
law, to usurp the lawful government, also
deserve your attention. The Judge, in
conclusion, says, that the potent voice of
the law should be heard above the din of
strife, else all security and stability is gone,
and there will be nothing left of our social
fame worthy an effort to preserve.
Baltimore is very quiet. Four Union
meetings were held to night, in as many
sections of the city. Speeches and other
demonstrations were made. The Union men
hold ward meetings to morrow to elect DEL
egates to Union City Convention, to pre-
pare for the Congressional election.

BOGUS Co1N.-We have several times
spoken of the amount of bogus silver coin
in circulation here, and are sorry to say
that it is constantly increasing. A person
can hardly ever get dollar, in silver quar-
tiers, without finding at least one that is
bogus. Some of them are very good imi-
tations, and readily pass among those who
arc not close observers. 1t is surmised that
the manufacturers of this base currency
have agents in this city, or else it would be
impossible for such large amount to get
in circulation. We are informed that this
counterfeiting is carried on extensively near
Lake Pepin, on the Wisconsin side. Efforts
should be made to break it up.

we believe, is to be soon occupied by a

population of about 1000 people. The
town of Mankato alone furnished about
seventy-6ve or eighty men, which is proper
tionately as large if not larger than furnish
ed by any any other town in the State.
$1,000 were subscribed for the families of
the volunteers in case they are called into
service. In the company were three or four
from Shelby who measured over six feet.
One was six feet, one six feet four, and
another six feet two inches. The company
being the 18th on the list could not get into

IMPRESSED INTO THE SOUTHERN ARMY.
1t has been the practice of large num-
Der of Irish laborers of this city to seek for
employment at the South every winter, and
to return to st. Paul in the spring. We
learn from Capt. O'Gorman that many of
those who went below last fall, have been
impressed into the Southern army, among
whom are Martin Duane, whose father re-
sides on Wabashaw street, near the Capitol,
and John Cavanaugh, who are personally
known to US. They were forced, by what
means we are not informed, to join the Con-
federate forces at Memphis. Some of those
who have been at work at the South have
found it utterly impossible to get their wa
ges, and, being offered large bountes, have
volunteered. Letters from some of these
men to their families state that there is
great difficulty in meeting the heavy drafts
OF the government for men, and that they
were offered two hundred, and sometimes as
high as FIVE hundred dollars, to go as SUBJ
stitutes, and where man absolutely refused
to go at any price, he was often COM
PEELED to enlist by threats of personal vio-
lence. We believe this class cannot be re-
lied on to fight against the Union. The
sight of the stars and stripes will be very
likely to stir them up to rebellion. fl
