A. PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE
Che
MARIETTA, - - - - - mu-3
From the Baltimore Sun of Saturday. 20th.
of the Collision at Baltimore.
Yesterday morning the excitement which bad
been gradually rising in this city for some days,
with reference to the passage of Northern volun
teer troops Southward, reached its climax upon
the arrival of the Massachusetts and other volun
teers, some from Philadelphia. A large crowd
bad assembled, evidently to ■ the men an un
welcome reception. The arrangements contem
plated the passage of thirty-one cara occupied by
the volunteers, from President street depot to the
Camden station of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, over the intervening space occupied by the
Pratt street track.
The cars were dispatched one after the other by
horses, and upon the arrival of the first car at the
intersection of Gay and Pratt strreets, a vast as
semblage having collected there deinonstrntiona
were made which evidently contemplated the
stepping of the troops at that point. Just there,
repairs of the road were in progress, and a num
ber of paving stones were lying in heaps, which
were seized by the crowd and used for the pur
poses of assault.
Six of the cars had succeeded in passing on their
way before the crowd were able to accomplish
their purpose of barricading 4ie track; which they
now bexan to effect by placing large heavy
anchors lying in the vieinitj directly across ths
rails. Some seven or eight were borne by the
crowd and laid on the track, and thus the passage
of the cars was effectually interrupted.
Having accomplished this object, the crowd set
to lusty cheering for the South, for Jefferson
Davis, South Carolina and s’-cession, and groans
for sundry obnoxious parties. In the meanwhile
the troops thus delayed at rihe depot remained
quietly in the cars until tired of their inaction, and
apprehending a inure formidable dertionstration,
they camo t<s the conclusion to face the mttsic and
inarch through the city:
They accordingly evacuated the ears and rapid
ly gathering on the street north of the depot, so. til
ed in line and preps*: c i t r..fe’rc the
At the head <Tthis column on foot, Mavr BroWn
placed himself, and walked in front, exerting all
his iiiflilbnce to preserve peace.
Just before the movement was niado from the
ears a large crowd of persons w ent down Presi
dent street with a southern flag and met the troops
as they emerged from the ears. The southern flag
was then carried in front of the column, and whoo
ping and yelling began, and as soon as the troops
turned out of Cant n aveti'ie they wcrij greeted
with a volley of stones.
At the Ci a tier of Fawn street tvto ot the sol iers
werestrit k with stones and kri-eked down ; one.
of them was taken by the p lice to' the drug store
"i‘ T. J. Pitt,at the Corner of Pratt and High streets,
and the other to rhe eastern p dice station;
The yelling continued and the stones flew thick
and fast. At Pratt street bridge a gun was fired,
sai l by policemen N > 71, to have been fired from
the ranks of the soldiers.
The crowd pressed stronger until the holy
reached the corner of’Giy street, where the troops
presented anns and lire I Several persons fell on
the first rohnd. and the crowd became furious.—
A number of revolve, s were used, and their shots
took effect in tl»e ranks.
People then ran in every direction in search of
arms, hm ihe armories of the military coiflpanies
of the city were closely gua ded dnd non» could be
obtained. The firing continue 1 from Frederick
street to South street in quick succession but how
many fell cannot be ascertained.
Ain<>n;> those Wounded was a young fodn named
Francis X. Ward, shot in the 4 groin, but the wound
is n<>t thought to be mortal.
A young man named James., Clark, was shot
t rough the head and instantly killed.
James Myres, was shot in the right side of the
back near the spine, and the ball, a Minnie, pass
ed through him and lodged among the false ribs.—
He was mortally wounded. John McCann, was
mortally wounded.
A man named Flannery, was mortally wounded,
and died shortly after.
—— Carr, wounded by a musket ball in the
knee.
John Staub, shot in the fore finger of the right
hand.
A young man named NJ al i hot on Pratt
street, near Gay, and died at the central poli e sta
tion.
James' Keenan was wouneed by a Minnie hall
through the body. He was one of the soldiers.
At the police station, an old man, who did not
give his name, was badly Wounded.
How many were wounded it is impo sible to as
certain. as many <>f the soldiers w’uo left un the ears
were known to have been injured.
Kirk H itch, oi Philadelphia, wa« wounded on
the head by a blow from a stone or bludgeon. lie
was sev rely injured.
C> nt.er, of Baltimore, was also wounded on
the head with a atone.
/At the central police station two soldiers were
taken in dead, as also two citizens. Three sol
diers and one citizen were taken to the same place
wounded. The crowd passed on up Broad street,
and near Light street there was another volley fir
ed. . ,
At Light'street wharf a Loy named Wm. Reed
received a ball through the abdomen, and was'
dying at last accounts in the hoi I of a sehbonet.
Anothef bov, Patrick GriSo, employed St the
Green House, Pi dtt street, was shot through the
bowels while looking from the door.
A frenzied crowd returned the fire froni revol
vers, and with bricks Andrew Robbins, a mem
ber of volunteer company from Stonington, Conn ,
was shot in the back of the head and fell from the
ranks. lie was taken into the drug store of Jesse
S. Hunt, corner of Pratt ahd Charles sts. His
wound is dangerOtiß.
Another soldier, S. IT. Needham, a member of
the Massachusetts regiment, was struck by a brick
and knocked insensible from the ranks. He
subsequently died;
At the corner of Howard ahd Dover streets one
of the marching companies was pressed upon,
when the troops in on? of the cars fired a volley
into the citizens. The balls struck in the brick
i walls of the dwelling, dashing out pieces ( .f brick,
i and making large holes in the walls. The fire
was returned from Several points with guns and
revolvers, arid with bricks by the croxud Several
soldiers were wounded here, but it is thought n"
citizens Were struck by the bullets of the s lliers.
The faces of many i f the 9 Idiers, as seen through
the car win lows were streaming with Mood from
cuts received from the shattered glass of car Win
dows, and from the missiles hurled into them.
Be\eral w lurlded, supposed to have been shot in
taeir passage along Pratt street, were taken out
of the car in a bleeding and faintii g condition at
the Camden station, and transfci’red to the other
cars.
From Gay to South street, or Pratt, the fight
with the soldiers who marched, or rather ran
through town, was terrific. Large pavipg stones
i were hurled into the ranks from every direction,
j th? negroes wh > wereabout the wharf, in manv
instances jo-ning in the assault. AtUjay street
the soldiers fired a number of s'iot<, thobgh with
out Jiirting an v one, s> far as cCuld be ascettained..
After firing this volley the soldiers again broke
I into a run, but anothei shoWer ot stones being
hurled into the ranks at Coirimeree street with
such force as to knock several of them dow i, the
order was given to another portion of them to
halt and fire, which liild to be repeated before they
' o ild be brought to a halt; They then wheeled
and tired some tweenty shots, bdtftotn their stopp
ing and dodging to avoid the stones, but four o>
five shots took effect, the marks of a greater por
tion <>f their balls' being vissible on the Walls' of the
a Ijacent warehouses, even up to the second stories.
Here four citizens fell, two of whonT died in a few
moments, and the other two were carried off, sup
posed to be mortally wounded.
As one of the soldiers fired he was struck with a
stone and knocked down, and as he attempted to
rise another stone struck him in the face, when he
crawled into a store, and prostrating himself on the
fl >or. clasp? 1 his hands and begped pita usly for
his life, saving that he was threatened with tustaot.

He s<iid oiie-huJf of them had been fare d t > come i><
\ t’ie s tole tuannsr, arid he hoped all w J io forced
1 others to come might bcTci'l d b fore they got th >ou h
\ the city. He plead so hard that rn> further ven
! geance was bestowed upon him; and he w.'i« taken
j to the police station to have his wounds dressed,
i As soon as they had fired at that point they again
| wheeled and started ofl in a full run, when Some
; three or four parties issued f jorrl tbe warehouses
there and fired into them, which brought down
three more soldiers, one of tfhom was carried iut<
the same store with the one above alluded to, ami
I died m a few moments. The 'there succeeded in
| regaining their feet, and proceeded op with theii
Comrades, and the whole running ae 'fast as thex
coul I, and a running fire was kept up by th?
soldiers from this point to tile depot, the crowd
continuing to hurl stones into the ranks through
out the whole line of march.
I'i:e scene while the troops were changing car*
w»* indescribably fearful. Taunts, clothed in the
most fearful language, were hurled at them by the
panting er >w<l, who almost breathless with run
ning, pressed up to the car windows, presenting’
knives and revolvers, and cursed up into the faces
of the « Idiers. The police were thrown in be*
tween the cars, and forming a barrier, the troops
changed cars, many of them cocking their rttuakets
as they stepped on the platform.
After embarking the assemblage expected to see
the train off, but its departure was evidently de
layed in the vain hope that the crowd would dis
perse ; hut no. it swelled, and the tr<s>ps express
ed to the • ffleefs of £he road their determination to
go at or ce, or thev w >uld leave the cars and make
their way to Washington.
While the delay was increasing the excitement’
a wild cry was raised on the platform, and a dense
crowd down the platform and out on the railroad
track t< wards the Spring Garden®, until the track
‘or a mile was black with an excited lushing mass.
The crowd, as it went, place! oKstructions of every
deScriptio on tne track. Great logs and tele
graph poles, requiring tl doZen 6r snore men to
move them, were laid across the Tails, and atone#
rolleu from the embarkment.
A body of prtlicb followed after the crowd, both
in a frill run, rind removed the obstrtictiqna as fast
as they Were placed on the Various at
tempts were made to tear up the track -frith logs of
wj d an 1 pieces of timber, and there was a great
outcry for pickates and .handspikes, but only on©
or two could be found.
The Governor, Mayor and Preßident of the
Board of Police, at noon, caused an order for tbe
instant assembling of the military of the city, with
instructions to repel the riiarch of any more North
ern trobps through
In a short time thereafter Gen. Egerton appear
ed on the street and told the people what had been
done, and it gave 8 itisfaction. In the afternoon*
the entire military force Was o(it„fully armed and
equipped.
Crdv. Hicks and the Mayor of B altimore, ad
dressed the President of the Baltimore & Ohio, and
Philadelphia Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad
companies,ad vising that the tr >ops remaining in tho
city be eent back to the border- 1 of Maryland, and
telegraphed to Washington requesting that no
Federal troops be sent to Baltimore.
The Baltimore directors of ihe Northern Centraj
Railroad, who constitute ohly a minority Os
th'e board, held a iheetihg,made a formal protest
against the conveyance of any more troops Torn
the North over the road The Baltimore and
Ohio Company Seiit an official communication to
the Northern Central < ompany infornr'ng them
that they would pass no more troops to Washing
ton, th at should reach the city by that roht.
vOB- dis >dtch w:v< received from Mr. Febon,
deut of the Philadelj a road inrespons tothe recom
mendation from here saying that he would send
no more troops over his read at present, and re
questing the officers in this city to confer with tho
proper parties on the subject.
Incidents of the Battle — While the cars con
taining the troops weie s'anding at the President
street depot a clerk from the custom-house went
into one of them and denounced the soldiers in
bitter terms. A '-aptamordered him out,threatening
if he did not go they Would fire on him. He
replied tliev were t<>o cowardly to fire, when
the officer struck at him with his sword, which
blow he received on the left hand, and with the
other krio- ked him down and took his sword from
him, aa also the scabbard. A prvate interfered
for the protection of his ©orffmiihdor, and him too
tbe clerk knocked down with a heaVydrawn pistol,
and escaped with his prize—tfie sword—theonlv
irijniy he received being a pretty severe cut across
his hand.
At tho intersection of Gay and Pratt streets,
while the soldires were firing upon tho crowd two
other clerks (romthesa neplaco ran into the ranks
and each knocking down a t soldier withhis fist
bore ■ IT their mnske s as tr. phies of their exploit.
Tbe young man shot in the leg and taken to tho
infirmary, and attended by DE Mortis, appeared
quite gratc7.il for the humane a'tention shown him.
When asked why he ca-ne the simple a i unsophis
ticated icply of the youth was :
“Oh, the Flag, the Stars and Stripes!” It was ex
pected that the wouded leg would have to be am
puta'ed last night. He is oJy about 18 years old
and he may live to jr >w wiser as he grows older.
Another of tli .se in the staaon house Said ho
had no enmity agai ,st the South and came only
because his company was • rdctcd out otherwise
he would have been jeered as a coward and re.
creant. Others in the cutipanies were actua cd
by the same motives.
A body of one llnti Irc l .anil five of the volun
teers fr< m the North was take i in charge by the
police of the cas'Orn district and sent back- They
are now s. id to have stopped at Magnolia.
At the eastern police station lost night aGermau
asked for lodging. He said he had beer, forced
into the cars at Philadelphia, but diduutkuuw
where they were going to take him.
A New Question.
A new question is, whether the seceding States
can demand the enforcement of the extradition
creatv with Canada? A business toan of Browns
ville, Texas, is alleged to have swindled his credit
ors to the amount of 3146.000. He took refuse in
Canada, and offered to c minute with his creditors
for 15 cents on the dollar. They, however, prefer
red to demand hi- arrest under the extradition trea
ty. and ir remains to lie seen whether Canada will
recognize the application.
Worth Knowing.— As “fly time’’ is nearly upon
us, we may remind <>ur readers that it is said that if
three or four onions are boiled in a pint,of water,
and the liquid is brushed over glasses or frames the
fly will not light on the article washed. Thia may be
used without apprehension as it will not do the
least injury to t e frames.
Three Men Killed.—We learn fr« m a passen
ger f rom Piidadelphi , that one day last week at
Havre de Grace three of the N rthern volunteers
who were marched from the North refused to go
any further, assigning as a reason that they did
n t volunteer t" go into a war of invasion upon the
South. An officer who was stand.ng by instantly
cut and hacked two of the men topeices. A third,
who took the same ground, gave <eot to a similar e
expression for the Union, cut his own throat from
ear to ear, rather than allow himself to bshaebsi
in'pieces.— Charlejticn Courier, 29tA
