Quo PFNrrEErIARy On Monday
evening last, a convict in tie Ohio
Penitentiary named Samuel Croft
ATTEMPTED q revolt. Without any
warning he struck one OF the guard
breaking the bridge of his nose, then
knocked down the Foreman OF the
saddle-tree shop, and sung out;
Come on boys, now is your time. y
He then turned to renew his attack
upon the guard, who drew Il pistol
and shot him, the ball entering his
head back Of his ear, killing him al
most instantly. Croft was sem
tenced to the Penitentiary from JEFF.
ferson county in 1855, for life, for
murder in the second degree, and
was desperate character. 1t was
supposed there was an organized
plan for revolt, on account OF the
tack of the prisoners being raised.
On the Same day the Sheriff Of
Hamilton county delivered fifteen
prisoners in tho Pcnitentary. The
number now confined there is 99S,
the largest number ever confined at
one time in tho institution.

Doingp Of Congress.

Congress is acting with q gres,
deal Of promptitude and energy, in
devising ways and means for an ef
ffcient prosecution Of the war. Dem
ocrats and Republicans vie with
each other in their endeavors to give
the government n most efficient emp
port. All the measures acted upon
yet, have been adopted with most
remarkable unanimity. Valsndig-
ham, OF Ohio, Wood, OF New York,
and Bright, Of Indiana, are about
the only members of Congress, from
the North, that give the rebels any
aid and comfort, and thoy are held in
perfect detestation by good aud true
men Of all parties. The wonder is,
that the Union men show so much
tolerance, and do not expel them q,
once. To permit a black hearted
traitor to stand up in our halls o.

A Richmond corresp ,ndont Of the
Charleston Courier, writing on the
fourth of July, makes some important
revelations as to the sciznre Of the
traitors both in and ont NJ Baltimore,
against the peace Of tho city. After
mentioning tho arrival OF Congress-
man May, of Maryland, and limiting
that his visit "looks toward certain
events in Maryland, which may have
an influence in determining the con
tinuance Of tho war;" the writer
gives a gloomy picture Of the Top
preston" OF the Marylanders by The
government, and says:
While this is the sad eide OF the
picture, there are other features
about ii. which inspire the strongest
hopes that the day Of retaliation is
not far distant. Thirty thousand
men are said TO bo under arms
waiting concerted action. Silently
and stoalthily they have been pre-.
pairing for the event. which they
knew nust come. The mcrcenaries
have sought to deprive them OF
their weapons. but where one has
been made n prize, a hundred have
taken its place. | learn this fact
from well informed BaltiBorean
now in Richmond, and from another
source ! have asceriained that not
less than eight Thousand muskets are
Mt this moment concealed, aud
vigilantly guarded night and day.
| think telcg,aphed to you that
in the eight ward-an Irish district
by tho way--a confederate flag was
flying over house, in whicl, loaded
swivels were mounted at the win
dows, and that the inmates would
die before they would allow the flag
to be struck. This is the spirit
which prevails in every part OF the
city. Women, not less than men,
participate in il, and, rs wrote you
from that point some weeks ago,
should battle eDsue in the streets,
vou will find their fair hands dealing
death and destruction from the win.
dows Of their dwellings. The gov
ernnent has gone too far to rotrsce
its steps. Baltimore must either be
whipped out OF existence. or the de.
mands Of its people be conceded. -
Property with them is no longer a
matter OF consideration. Fort Nc.
Henry may burn and lombard their
homes, but with life and principle at
stake, they will sleep upon the ashes
before they yield one j"t or title to
the usurpers.
My informant believes that bat.
tic there is imminent. Afirays be
tween the citizens and Soldiers take
place frequently. Already several
on both sides have been killed and
wounded. Should fight result, W,
shall hear of scenes that only find d
parallel In the bloody records oi
French revolutions. when the peopl,
fought and conquered the trained
Soldiers Of their King, behind barri
cades. The blow may be ptecipi
tated in less than a week. Every.
thing depends upon the success and
movements of Gen. Johnston. II ht
