IMPORTANT MEMS FIOH BALTIMORE,

WHAT WAS GATHERED THEREON
THE PLANS or THE REBELS.

lo,ter from there or teeTdpbc message from Ha're

and the second would be very unsatisfactory, as three

soeck which looked Ike a siage-cosch. As II ap-
proached found tba i a long Calvert street de-
pot omnibus with gilt eagle on one side, and an IN
trcaeiy arranged display Of artillery onthe other. On
~. TOP were seated two men, back Of whom were sew
es trunks. willie inside were seven ladies' two babies
aad three gentlemen. desired them to hold up for
moment and making au exchange with one of the " in
sades" lie getting on NY nae and taking his place be-
tween two ladies' gathered for publication the follow
ing intelligence:
The party consisted Of two families who had lived in
Baltimore for the last twenty years of the ladies'
having been born in New-York, and the others being
natives of the former city. They had Left the place be-
cause they were in continual apprehension OF trouble
because they f that their persons their property and
their interests were safe and because the authoi
ties seemed gradually but surely to incline toward The
side of the mob. They say that 1t would be the hight
ofolly for any Northern person TO SO there at presents
Chat daily the awess scoupdrels become more bolster
as and that if no hostile force presents itself for an
attack rows and troubles intestine cannot fail soon TO
make their fearful appearance.
From the gentlemen l gathered that in reality no
uuet person, resident or otherwise could move un-
r,oies.ed about the streets. One Of my nformants,
while walking toward the Adams Express Company
Cffce on Baltimore street, day or two ago mel
baud Of maraUdeTs, numbering at least seventy or
eighty who were marc ing through the city yelling
Ike fends, screaming ike wild cats, and prancng like
indians around Wharf.-The. He endeavored 10 escape
observation by stepping into doorway, when one oil
the Gercest of the company, with whoop like the
whistle Of hundred frs;-cass locomotives combined,
rasbed after him. drew him forth by the Dpe OF the
neck, while the rest Of the gallant eheyasrs gathered
close about him.
Hurrah for Maryland you id whelp said they.
s'Hurgah for Maryland said be- "Do il again" said
the army Of freemeu; and do it again be did. Now,
and make you eat it, with your earet for sauce
said tie chivalric band ana he had todo it. And they
went whooping, yelling, shouting, and screaming,
IS f. like devils iucsrnae, they were on their way to
their own dark home, compelling this rather venerable
srd entirely sedate involuntary paTtc pant TO dance
aud pr;tnce and shout for Maryland in such way as
sliaos, drove him mad Then they "bOTowed" what
little cash and loose change he had with him, and cent
hin off with kick behind and rough maledlcuons all
around bin.
One Of the other gentlemen, whose wife and children
were with him, appealed 10 The police authorities for
protection from gang Of rowdies, who threatened h
life because he had declared Union sentiments publicly
sone months ago, and had published the same in
papeF. His family frightened half out Of their
wits by party Of rough fellows who called at his resi-
dsuce while be was out, and asceTtainng that he wss
nor H. demanded something TO drink and would not 80
away until the man servant told them he had orders
from BIZ mistress to treat them all at the hotel The
ladies' having complained Of this the gentleman desired
that some action be taken in the matter by the auhor
ties and on being told that they were utterly power
less came the conclusion that the most prudentcourse
be could purtue was take his wife and babies TO the
North. He found did the Others great difficulty In
doing this because they desired TO bring luggage
with them
sho luggage was safely gotten away omnibus char
fgTCd, and they were on their way rejoicing. The
ldes could not refrain from tears as they recouned
TIE story Of the wrongs endured by the better class OF
people at Baltimore. There are very many there
whose sympathes are with the Government, whose
interests lie entirely within the Union, and who feel
that if this Of things continues, Mary land is dig
gaeed forever aud yet they dare moi and do not ez
press either their sentiments or their feelings. They
ore oyerawed cowed down, shut up. They earnestly
desire and anxiousy look for rbe day when the Gov
ernent viii order an army Of 10000 men 10 abide in
and about their city until oder s restored quiet Ii
obtained and liberty, whose right il il TO reign, shall
aqaiu be dominant.
