MARTINsBURG, July 2l-2 An
Governor Mathc,nS:
y terrible state OF things now prevails
in Baltimore There is bloodshed, arson
and riot at Camden station. The militia
and police, up 10 this time, are over.
powered by the mob. The track is torn
up between Camden and the next sta
ton. The wires are cut east OF Point OF
Rocks. / have no time for details,
but this is synopsis OF the cOmpsny's
official dispatches now coming in. The
mob At Cumberland is very large and
made up of railroad men, boat men,
trsmps and negroes. rhis is out OF my
balliwick, but is valuable rs toretsstc
of what may yet come for US. |
will not voluntarily release any
part OF the force now at my command
until all stations within our State are
clear. With our ascendsncy here have
confidence even IN this point if lett un-
protected.
Col. Sharp has just now telegraphed
me from Keyser as follows: OF the six
teen trains dispatched from Martlnsburg
to-day the west bound only has arrived,
here, and that had an escort oi
twenty men. All the others have been
stopped at Cumberland, the men taken
off and some of them hsve returned 10
their homes ut Msrtinsburg. 1t will be
impossible to move any of the trains
from Cum mberlsnd until we have troops
to disperse the mob and protect the men,
and we shall then have TO secure
trainmen TO run them. The condition
burg and the engineers and the train
men generally as n body are more out
spoken and determined, don't see any
probability of doing anything here
until we get our train through from Cum
berland. have had full conference
with the officers of the transportation
and machinery departments, and they
say they have made every effort TO secure
men 10 run the trains since the military
have been here, bat have found it lm-
possible to raise crew. Our impression
is tha. we can not do anything
from Keyser either east or west until
we have the road open between keyser
and Baltimore. One o! the men on the
train which arrived here this morning,
WAS shot At Cumberland by the mob, a.
thovgh there were twenty U. s. troops
on the train. | am fully convinced
that the willingness of the men
20 leave Martinsburg to-day WAS only
plot to get the engines away from there
and get them in this vicinity. The men
who came with the foremost train from
Martlnsburg, which arrived here to-day,
have been under the protection OF the
military all day, and have been afraid to
leave the soldiers quarters, as they have
been 80 violently threatened by sll classes
here. DELAPLAIS.
