Zmp0ytant intelligence from Nep

Baltimore Exchange:
New York, Aug. 80, 1S61.---A deep
gloom hangs over the business men of
this city relative to national affairs.
The late reverses have mmldened
them, and they are now preparing TO
do something desperate with Il view
of restoring, in some degrce, if posi-
bic, a retarn OF confidence ia the Adj
ministration. Theyinsist that :',oney
is king, and is as necessary for carry
ing on, the, war as men, and if they
are to furnish the needful, they will
insist upon regulating President Lin
coin. A committee of wealthy and
Influential men from Boston, New
York and Philadelphia. have left to-
day for Washington, aud will demand
Of President Lincoln that several
highly important changes shall he
made 5etore any mare Of tie sine,es y
tca,, teiN BE-. Forthcoming. They have
determined that tAoSe most eSttma6lc
public servants, Cameron and Smith,
shall bow their necks to the CONNER
cial AK, and their places will be sup
piled by Dix and Holt. They have
also determined to decapitate the "O!d
War Horse" who never lost a battle
until he met the men---his brethren
who had helped him to Win his for
tner victories.
A riot occurred on the .light of the
2lst among some German companies
stationed in Il neighboring viti,'ge,
which was quelled with difficulty hs
the Home Guard. The miscreantS
openly threatened to sack the village
and violate the women. Thess are
the sort of men they are sending
South with the pious wish that they
will never return. | saw yesterday
some twenty men who had been taken
out Of Sing Sing to be mustered into !

thy "proteetors" shortly in Baltimore. !
where they will doubtless be warmly

on Wells, Fargo x Co.'sstage, coming
east, this afternoon, two miles east o.

the second and third commenced
shooting with REVIEWERS, firing seven
shots. Tfe driver whipped them in

vented them from taking aim. No
one was hurt. Seven gentlemen
