CITY NTELLIGENCE,
The Union FOundered

The Union FOundered.
Friday appears to be particularly eventful day
in the annals of the Lincoln war. On Friday the
war was inaugurated at Fort Sumter, on Friday
constitutional order for increase of the army
was issued, Friday the MASSACHUSETTS men
were repulsed in Baltimore, Friday the Monti-
cello retired from SewelPs Point, on Friday Ellis
worth was killed. on Friday the unsuccessful at
tack Aqua Greek was made, and now, finally,
on Friday the Union sticks in the mud. Yesterday
a schooner was procured and brought to the wharf
at Locust Point, for the purpose of shipping the
big gun 'Union' to Fortress Monroe. A squad of
soldiers, fifty in number, together with num-
Der of laborers, were engaged in removing the gun
from the wharf to the schooner. Timbers and
ropes, which were deemed amply secure run
from the wharf to the schooner, and the Union par
ty went heartily to work. While the "gun'' was
midway between the wharf and the schooner, the
timbers suddenly gave way, the party scatter
ed, and the "instiution," breech foremost, went
to the bottom, in fourteen feet of water and an un-
known quantity of mud. One of the soldiers was
thrown, head foremast, into the basin, but being
unwilling to sink or swim with the "Union," was
rescued by his companions.

IN which among other passengers, was young

amined her person. On the same day squad of
soldiers from the Relay camp visited dwelling
in the vicinity, in search of arms. There were no
male persons at home, and on demanding arms, one
of the ladies told them there were none in the
house. This, however, did not satisfy them. A
guard was placed at the door of the house, and the
soldiers entered. They ransacked every part of
the house, examined drawers, the locks of some of
which they burst open. lady, whose husband
was in the city, was in bed, having been confined a
few days previous, and when the soldiers
about entering her room, the nurse informed them
of the condition of the lady, assured them there
were no arms in the apartment, and begged that
they would not enter the room. They however,
carried out their purpose, entering the room and
made the examination. There were no arms found.
