pickets report them at 25, 900. Earth
works are being erected around the
west and north sides of Baltimore, thus
completing the chain of Notifications.
A line of barbados is being erected
within the city, extending from the
high ground on the east to the sOuth-
western extremity of the city. Each
will be defended by Union League
men, who are being armed by General
Schenck. The Union men are entire

evidently uneasy, and begin to realize
that any hostile movement Of the
rebel army against Baltimore might
react disastrously upon themselves.
