The baltimore Unlon Men

The recent occurrences in Baltimore are
significant of the effects of the war uron
the Union sentiment of the South. Little
more than year ago the streets Of the
Monumental City were wet with the
blood of patriots marching to protect the
capitol from the attack of armed traitors
loyal citizens were forced to fly for their
lives the flag Of the Union was scornfullv
tFampled i'll the dirt, and blatant treason
shouted death to all who would not betrny
their country, After year of war we
find, the foolish fears of the peace men to
tue contrary notwithstanding, the loyal
sentiment prevailing. and loyal citizens no
longer fearful or submissive, but boldly
asserting and maintaining their rights and
their government.
The Unionists of Baltimore have taken
an irregular way for showing their zeal
and one that is not to be approved but

their city, and they hastened to disproye

Col. Kenly, lawyer of distinction, who

secesSionists rejoicing at the catastrophe.
II was, it must be confessed, more than the
coolest blood could endure, and naturally

suppose thatwe of New York should hear

shot by the rebels, and the secession sym-

brought word some days ago, that Jackson
was taking that direction, and Banks was
notified of it some days ago. On Satur-
day there was, as We learn, some fight
ing between Banks and Jackson at Front
Royal; Banks falling back, and yesterday
there was more fighting at Winchester
Banks falling back before the superior
force of the enemy in the direction of Har-
per's Ferry. General Fremont will advance
as rapidly as possible, to the relief OF
Banks. 1t is now supposed that he will
proceed to Winchester by way of Moore
field and WardensVille, a distance of 20
miles from here, and If Jackson shall have
advanced to Harper's Ferry, or any other
point, we hope to cut him off In the rear.
If lie should not advance. but fall back
from Winchester, then we can move from
Wardensville to Strasburg or Woodstock,

Heretofore, and now, the rebels in vir-
ginia have the inside of the circle, the use
of short railroads radiating from the CEN
tire, and every possible facility of free
movement. We went to Harrisonburg, a
very few miles only from the road that
should have been seized, and yet did not
touch it. Looking Mt the map, it would
appear that care had everywhere been
taken by us to let the railroads alone, and
to leave them to the undisturbed use of
the rebels. Ii is time this policy was
changed, and that we had railroads for
use in transportation instead of being
compelled TO march laboriously. as
