Yesterday was the occasion Of very
considerable excitement consequent
the rejoicing Of the secessionists at the
defeat Of the First Maryland Regiment,
and the reported death Of its brave Col
onel, John r. Kenly On Saturday even
ing groups of secessionists were observed
at the corners of streets and other pub
lie places, where they are accustomed to
congregate, and they indicated by their
actions and language, great satisfaction
al the defeat Of the federal arms. At
night secession butcher, residing in the
western section of the city, approached
a Union man, who was not acquainted
with him, and accosted him thus Well,
your great cock has fallen in the first
pit" The Union man after stating that
he did not know nor desire to know him,
inquired who he alluded to. The reply
was, "Jobn r. Kenly.p Soon as he had
spoken the words he was knocked down
on the sidewalk. This was soon made
known to the Union men in the vicinity
and they declared their determination to
whip every secessionist they could find
who uttered word of rejoicing, and
their determination was efiectually exc
cuted yesterday.
About 8 o'clock in the morning crowds
began to assemble in the vicinity Of the
newspaper offices, and were earnestly
discussing the war news, when a seces-
sionist named Robert Morrow, who was
standing on the corner of Baltimore and
South streets, was charged with having
expressed the sentiment that every one
of the First Maryland Regiment ought to
be killed. He had no sooner spoken
than he was knocked down, when the
police interfered and took him 70 the
Central Police station. Shortly after
ward Mr.. Thomas j.. Warrington, of the
Baltimore bar, whilst standing on the
corner of Baltimore and Frederick streets,
was attacked by two Union men, one of
whom knocked off his hat, and the other,
after chasing him square, dealt him a
number Of blows. The assailants de-
clared that Warrington had two sons in
the Confederate army, and that he was a
bitter secessiOnist, n
A few minutes elapsed when a crowd
rushed up Baltimore street after man
drying carriage, who was said to be a
secessionist he was taken out of the
vehicle and would have been severely
beaten but for the exertions of the police,
who protected him. Another party was
raced as far as the house adjoining, the
bank, on the corner of Baltimore and Call
vert streets, when Bolivar ID. Daniels, ESQ.,
of the Baltimore bar, who was in the
crowd, was next attacked and dealt sey-
eral blows about the head The police,
under the direction of Marshal Van Nos
trand, succeeded in taking him to the
office of the police commissioners, adj
joining the headquarters of Gen, Dix
where he remained for half an hour and
was then quietly conducted by two po-
licemen to his residence. lie thanked
the police for their protection. On the
way to the headquarters the party were
followed by crowd of five or six hun.
dred men, who cried out chang him 2
"hang him" and two in the crowd drew
out ropes from their pockets, intent up
on the execution, but the strong detach
ment of police succeeded, with great diff
ficulty, in his protection.
For three or four hours the crowd con
tinued to increase until Baltimore street
was filed with excited men. Occasion
ally a secessionist would be seen, when
he would either be chased away or beat
en-, if caught and many one received
blows and kicks which they will long
remember. About H. o'clock Captain
Joseph Mitchell, of the Middle District
Police station, proceeded to the Independ.
ent Methodist Episcopal Church, at The
Assembly Rooms, and had an interview
with one Of its officials He described the
state Gf affairs and advised them to sus.
pend their services and retire, especially
as many in the crowd threatend 10 attach
the men when they left the building
The official declined doing 50, aud said
he preferred seeing higher officer in re
lation to the matter. Marshal Van Nos,
trand then went up and requested tha
the males, upon retiring, should ayoiC
Baltimore street as much as possible ir
order TO get 10 their homes peaceably. Tn,
suggestion was acted upon by a larg,
number of persons, who retired as pri.
yately as possible and received no indig
nifty as far as we could ascertain. IN,
usual afternoon session of the Sabbatl
school was not held, and the evening ser
vices dispensed with. The cause of tn
threat made by some in the crowd is OBJ
vious when il is known that nearly al
the members Of the congregation an'
those who attend the services are ayoWet
secessionists,
In the afternoon, a number Of openly
avOwed secessionists, in various section
of the city, were attacked by the Unioi
men aUd whipped, on account Of thei
exultation and rejoicing over the defea
of Colonel Kenly Regiment A diff
Guilty occurred in front of the rosidenc
Of Mr.. Passano, High street, near LOm
