AMERICA.  FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE BALTIMORE MOB. • MOST HORRIBLE BUTCHERY AND MURDER  • Philadelphia, July 20. Extract of a Letter from Baltimore, dated on Wednesday morning at nine o'clock : •' The Gentlemen referred to in my letter of yesterday, preferred remaining in prison to being bailed • outtoinder assurances of protection from the consti- aped authorities. A regiment of infantry, a company of 'artillery, and certain troopers were ordered • out. A detachment of the mob surrounded the escon of the Qentlemen to the jail, (wounded several of them with stones as they were marching along the streets, and struck severatothers as they ascended the steps) while the greatest part of them continued about and in the house of Mr. Wagner, destroying the furniture and the internal, work of the building, through. ,out the day, without the least molestation. .1 After, dimier I walked out to Howard's Park, opposite the jail, which was surrounded by a large concourse cf people. Brigadier-General Stricker and the Mayor were walking about apparently unconcerned. The constant cry of the mob was 6 blood for blood.' No military appeared,' although 'detachnitnts-were paraded in turn, which a little before sup-set were ordered to be dismissed as being mineceisary ; and, within an hour from that time, the mob, without resistance, entered the jail and forced the Boor of the apartment which contained the Gentlemen. Mr. Daniel Murray presented himself before them with pistols, and they drew back—the Gentle men then rushed forward, and many of them succeeded in effecting their escape unhurt. General Lingarc was inhumanely murdered, and several were desperately wounded. Mr. John Thompson, beaten to a mummy—one of his arms broken in two-places, and tWo deep indentures in his right cheek, continues barely td exist. General Lee, with a fractured scull, , was taken to the Hospital, but it is hoped he will stirvive his wound, as well as Mr. George Winchester, and another Gentleman,who were ten ibly beaten. I have heard of none others much injured. In the Course of the afternoon, Mr. Hanson put his head out of the window and proclaimed, that they were treacherously sent there to be massacred. ,4 Mr. Thompson wasiaken about in a cart last night—and this morning, at half-past nine, if he he alive, is to be tarred and feathered, and paraded through the streets—to prevent which I can hear of no measlises taken. Trumpets have been blowing, And at length about half a troop of horse—a company of artillery without uniform, and a company of infantry, without either uniform or arms, have appeared, and it is said are going out for exercise on the commons. 46.
