Yesterday morning. the neighbor-
hood of the President Street Depot
presented scene rarely witnessed
Ia Baltimore. A short time ago
regiment afier regiment of troops
would arrive, hut they Were hurried
~ pushed forward for the defence or
Washington but tho scene of yes
terday was nearly four thousand ia
ded and WORKOUT soldiers going
home, but waiting impatienily for
the means Of transportation, Hun
dreds of them lay stretched upon
the sidewalks, wrapped in sleep,
and mayhap dreaming of those who
anxiouSly awaited their return, So
great was the anxiety to get off, that
the Rhode Island First Regiment ran
up Pratt street to meet the ears that
were to cOnveythe Northward, The
feeling seemed 10 he general that
they had had enough OF the war and
its priyations, and minated but lit
tie disposition to 90 again so far from
the Capital to defend IT, Many of
them complained that only freight
and stock ears We're provided for
them, and so great was the Ohiec-
ton of numbers that they climbed
To the tops of the cara, whore, they
said, the heat Of the sun would not
be so intolerable as the ittid atmos-
phore within, As the train moved
OIL the band played alone again
from Foreign Shore" Through
out the whole day the trains were
passing toward Philadelphia,
CANNOT DE RELIED uPoS.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says;
There are military men OF Europ-
can experience in war, who say that
those who have been part and par
Gel of the rout from Bull Run, can
not be relied upon hereafter for Of
fensive operations,
LAS,E-BAYoNET FOR THE SHOT
GUN.-Prof. A. Preott, Of Bucking-
ham, has invented nce-bayonet,
to be attached to the shotgun, which
would make that weapon one of
great efficiency in the service. The
invention is ingenious and cheap
1t issimplc, and can be readily made
by ordinary workmen, Large mum.
bers Of shotgun may be supplied
with the lance-bayont in little
while at'shops in the country. We
invite attention to the Professors
very practical and efficient inven-
ton.
The ARMY WoRM.-The army
worm has appeared at Middletown,
Conn. They swarmed with wig
Cling mass, and squirming onward
with astonishing An alarm
was sounded, and the citizens came
to the defence Of the town, laid seige
to the enemy, and soon hemmed
them in with bitches filled with coal
tar.-Northern Paper.
A large numder of army worms
from Connecticut have arrived in
Richmond lately,
PRIvATEEING.-The privateering
at the South is having a very disas-
trous effect upon the shipping in the
West India, and indeed other trades.
Since the captures by the Sumter, no
American vessels can obtain char
ter in Cuban ports, All the sugar
and molasses there to be shipped is
given to English and Dutch vessels.
This state of thin s is not only very
mortifying but also very ruinous to
American ship owners and captains
in the North; who are beginning to
experience the " blessings" Of the
Lincoln Government.
THE FEDERAL PLEA.-The Louis
vile Courier says:
The attempts Of the Federals to
contradict their own dispatches of
Monday, and to convince the public
that their loss is but tritiing, is a
plea that the army was composed OF
towards, and that even the civilians
who experimental tho telegraph at
Washington were so frightened that
they did not know what they were
doing TIVE ty-four hours after. Such
a plea is more humiliating and more
disgraceful than the worst defeat
We have closely examined all the re-
ports we have seen in our exchanges,
whether Of a general or special char
acter, and we are satisfied that when
ever the whole truth is made known,
the Federal loss will be found to be
greater, in men and guns, and stores
and equipments, than they have yet
confessed to, greater than reported
on Monday.
SHIFTING THE RESP NsIB1LITY-THE |
PRESIDENT REALLY, TO BLAME.
The President, the Cabinet, the
advisers ofthe Government,
and the Congressional busybodies
and assistant advisers, are all in q
futter before the storm Of popular
Indignation excited by the gross
blunder of the battle Of Bull Run.
They present spectacle which, if
the occasion of it were not so serious,
would shake the whole nation with
laughter. Each shouts out his in
nocence of the crime, and turns
evidence against his next neighbor.
Congressman retail private CONVEX
sations in their speeches, and Cabi-
net officers, button-hole reporters
with desperate zeal The whole at.
fair is the sublime of the ridiculous,
and reminds one of a squad of school
boys, hauled up before the head
