ExCIT1MDNT II BALTlMORE.
Rejsetie. Of che Dsunsy 0rdlnenes by
the second Branch of Councils.
From the Baltimore Amsrica~ Of this morn.
ing We gather the following Particular:
The ordinance providing for bountiss TO the
amount Of three hundred thousand dollars 10
be given 10 volunteers In the several regiments
forming the quota Of this State, under the late
call Of the President, was rejected In the second
branch Of thelCity Councils last evening, after
having unanaimously passed the first branch,
and was the occasion of considerable excite
ment The members Of the second branch
voting against the ordinance, the disloyalty Of
all Of whom b well known, were protected By
the police from the excited multitude who fol.
lowed them 70 their homes, and two Of them
were slightly assaulted.
The members Of the second branch Assem-.
bled rather earlier than usual, and took their
seats, while, at the same time, tho small en-
closed space for spectators, and the committee
rooms opening upon the chamber, were crowd
ed with men who evidently had no sympathy
for the political prepo@essions Of majority Of
the members. During the deliberations Of the
body several Of the audience made audible
remarks, when the President called the at.en-
ton Of Marshal Van Nostrsnd To the fact, and
hoped he would preserve order. The Marshal
walked across the chamber and occupied the
seat Of an absent member, at the same time
telling the crowd that he was there 70 preserve
the peace, and that they must be quiet.
Al this juncture, an elderly man, with broad
Scotch dialect, cried out that Decatur II. Mil
Ter was traitor, and should be hung. Some
minutes elapsed, when be again cried out, say
Ing, "Oh you traitors, we are the men who put
you In Office, and We are the men who will put
you out" The marshal restored order, and
soon after the branch adjourned. Seeing the
large crowds In the building, as we'll a. one
much larger on the street, the members seemed
10th to depart; whereupon the marshal invited
them 10 occupy bis private Office, 10 the first
rtory Of the building. Aesers. Dean, Wilson,
Marden, and Miller accepted the invitation,
and remained in the apartment nearly an
hour.
Mr.. Baker preferred leaving the hall without
protection, and az soon as the body adjourned
he deliberately walked out Of the building, took
bis seat In bis carriage, and amid ieers and
taunts and opprobrious cries Of TRAITOR" was
rapidly driven of. A crowd Of about fifty per-
sons followed the vehicle as far a. the City
Hall, crying out " traitor" traitor" hang
him. chang him."
ScS- rfter, Mr. George, who voted for the bill
Of $ot.' 900, came out, and was greeted with
three hearty cheers and tiger.

teenth and Twentieth wards with Mr.. Marden,
whilst In the acl Of descending the stairway,
was strack violent blow on the head, and
fell PROSTATE. Mr.. Marden assisted him In
rising, and he WAS taken TO the private room
below.
In the meantime, the crowd outside had In.
creased TO at least four hundred, whilst the
city police came In from the station houses
having been telegraphed for, at least one hun
dred and fifty strong. They were ranged in
double tile in front Of the building, and cleared
the sidewalks.
It was then stated that the marshal, In order
TO protect the councilmsn, had conducted them
10 rear entrance opening upon Gay street
and that they had all retired. This was gene
rally believed, still the crowd seemed indis-
posed to leave. About seven O'Clock II wal
deemed expedient to send them home under
escort, when Messrs Dean, Wilson, Higgins and
Marden proceeded towards their homes, each
escorted by hslfdozsn armed policemen
Mr.. Robb, who had also voted for the bill, re-
mained aloLe in the chamber above, and, We
believe, proceeded to his residence without au
escort.
| The last member who left was Mr.. Miller
whose appearance excited The hostility Of the
crowd, who. surrounded the officers with the
intention OF rescuing and perhaps hanging him
from the nearest lamp. post, as they swors they
would, but the entire police force ut the build
ing rallied, and after hard struggle at the
corner of Holiday and Saratoga streets, sue
ceeded in repulsing the assailants and in con-
ducting Mr.. Miller 10 his residence on the cor
ner of Monument and Cathedral streets, tht
distance being full half mile The crowd
however. followed, crying out, " Come and lool
at q live REBEL" "a id traitor 10 the bes
Government upon the earth" The marshal
Captain Mitchell and Commissioner Hindel
walked alongside of Miller as far rs his house
where he thanked them for their protection
A guard Of about thirty officers was left in from
Of the house for the purpose Of protecting 1t.
