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. de tfh hi/ his ofjie.'rs if he refus d tn accoinna'iy them. 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 NO. 15
