ALL THE WESTERN MAILS
from this city last night were sent TO New
York by way OF the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad, to be sent west over the New York
Central road. Two trains arrived a. the
Washington depot of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad last evening with only a few pass
engers on board for the west, but on account
held IN this city. The New York train over
the Baltimore and Ohio road left the city a.
10 O'Clock lsst night, but there were no pass-

AT THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO DEPOT.
On Saturday night, about O'Clock. a bat
TALON OF United States marines, numbering
12O me n, under the command OF Col. Hay
wood, left in a special train for Baltimore
and in consequence OF cautious running did
not reach there Till midnight The compa-
nies were ofrcered by Captain Collin, Lieu
tenants Russell, Palmer, Brodhead sed
Schenck.
INTIMIDATING AN ENGINEER.
Directly afterwards, a train for the west
was made up al the depot, and about 10 o'clk
started. Before getting out OF the yard the
engine was surrounded by large crowd OF
strange men, some OF whom hooted az the
engineer, Henry Goslin. and others said e. II
was the last time you'll run" "Nou had
better get off, &c. Goslin and his fireman
fearing The threats, stopped The train and re
FUSED 10 proceed further. The police soon
appeared and dispersed the crowd. The en-
gineeT, although he was fearful that he
would be shot II he resumed his post. finally
consented 10 take the cab n the police would
accompany him. Lieut.. Kelly aud Officers
McHenry and Madgan then took position
on the engine, and the train eeied, the
officers leaving IL al Boundary street and
coming back on another engine. The crowd
seemed TO be composed almost entirely of
strangers, who It is thought came over from
crowds about the depot anxious TO see aud
near every ming going on, and passengers
coming IN were beset with questions ss TO
the situation. A number of trains were run
each way yesterday, but after . O'Clock no
trains were run out.
HURRAHIEG FOR TINE sTRrKERs.
The nine O'Clock train on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad last night brought In engi-
Deers and hremen, who stated that they were
on their way TO Martinsburg, where their
fam lilies reside. They left the depot In a
body, and were followed for some distance
by crowd OF men and half grown boys, hur-
raining for the strikers. Finding themselves
the object of SO much attention, they came 20
halt on Indiana avenue and informed the
crowd that they were no strikers, and re-
Quested not 10 be followed in that manner.
Just at this time Detectives McDevitt, Nc
Elfresh and Voss came up and dispersed the
crowd, driving them back, and permitted
the strangers TO 60 on their way. In order to
satisfy themselves that they were peaceably
disposed, the officers followed up the squad
10 house I'm the second ward, where they
applied for lodging for the night, but falling
TO get accommodated they returned TO the
B. & o. depot and took lodgings In Q passen-
ger car, where they would be in readiness to
take the first train west for their homes.
These men informed the police that they
were In no way In sympathy with the strik-
ers, but were freight men whe had been de-
tained in Baltimore by the strike, and were
anxious TO return 10 their homes.
THE BALTIMORE AND PoTohAc ROAD.
The Baltimore and Potomac road, which.
with the Alexandria and Frederfcksbure
and the Baltimore division OF the Northern
Central road, is under the superintendent of
Col. G. Z. wilkins, has thus far not been
affected by the strike other than by the
increase of business consequent on the ina
ability OF the Baltimore and OHIO road 10
run through to Baltimore. During the latter
part OF last week there was some reason TO
lear that the strike would extend TO this
road, that the employees would follow the
exc example SET In other places. That the ten
effect on this railroad Is incorrect, so far aS
is known here, there having been no Motif
cation TO that effect received here. Yester-
day afternoon Col. wilkins issued the fol-
lowing circular 10 the employees:
1.-The managing officers OF this line have
observed with profound solicitude the riot
Gus demonstrations made at Baltimore and
Pittsburg in the past twenty -four hours,
which seem TO have for their object the gen
eral destruction OF railroad property. aud
The utter generalization OF all faithful rail-
road employees. / desire hereby TO express
TO the mea, one and all, the appreciation by
the officers of the company of their faithful
attention to duty in this hour Of peril, which
has fully met my expectations ana justidod
the confidence 1 have always felt In them,
and the good opinion l have always ex-
pressed in their behalf Stand to your posts
men, like true men, and do your whole duty
regardless of all surrounding disturbing in
huences, and you will make . reputation for
yourselves and our line, that you viii point
appreciation, net only OF the company, bat
OF ali good citizens, and above all Of your
own consciences."
On Saturday afternoon a train on this road
az Winans', miles from Baltimore, on
which number OF passengers, including a
lew solclers, were about taking passage,
they having left Baltimore aud OHIO ira N
at the Relay House, were approached by a
number OF strikers who inquired of Captain
NJ lller, the conductor, how long such things
were TO be. and Informed both Capt. Miller
and Engineer Boyle that If the h. & p. car
rled any more soldiers they had better look
out; that they the strikers would go for
them.
There is a report that a Meeting of train
men was held yesterday, and thai they de-
cided TO accept the situation, but at the same
declared that If any troops were put on their
whatever in the report, as no meeting was
held, and there has been no such und II stand
ing among the men.
