But If our fund-was adequate, in the present
crisis, when the facilities lor obtaining building

building operations. In the meantime we
should direct our efforts to the increase of the

Owing to unavoidable circumstances the ex
orcises of the school have not been conducted
through the entire veur with desired regularity,
and the progress of the boys in their studies bus
not been as rapid and satisfactory as would
otherwise Uovf* hern. We have now secured the
services of Mr. John R. Coburn, of South Caro
lina, who comes highly recommended as a
readier, and for iho cnsulug year I hope tholr
will be no interruption to this important branch
of our training.
The conduct of Hie boys has genamlly been
satisfactory and encouraging.
The farming operations under Hie Immediate
care of the Superintendent have been satisfacto
rily conducted. The land uuder cultivation lius
been more perfectly cleared and placed iu bet
ter order, and fertilizers applied witli encourag
ing results. With the exception of the peach
ies, our orchard continues to thrive; the soil
atmosphere does not appear to lie adapted to
the peach, and our experiment with them re
sults unfavorably.

ell suited to the age nud capacity of the boys,
and must prove to them a pleasant task ; while,
if the experiment proved success, It will bo a
source of considerable revenue to the Society,
at the same time carrying outtke original design
ol introducing the higher system of horticulture.
The annexed report of the Superintendent pro*
aunts a more detailed aeeoum ot liie farming
operations, and is submilled for your considers*

The Treasurer’s report, showing the financial
condition oi the Society, is also submitted. By
reference to which it will be seen that .we have

To Mr. foan’l G. Olcolt the acknowledgements

to express our obligations to our Secretary, Mr.

manner in which our Records have been kepi

an attack was Immediately made nport the troops
with stones und such missiles. ■
As the attack began, one ol the soldiers, a
man named William Batch, llrom Massachusetts,
was seen to fall about midway of the ranks,
having been stricken In tho back with ft large
paving stone. As he fell upon his side Into ihfe
grater his musket was soized by a portion of
the crowd, apparently In a’scent state of exaspe
ration, who set upon him, and before the police
could prevent them beat the unfortunate North
erner most nume.roifnUy. The gun was borne
rapidly off for some distance, but was finally
given up to an officer.
THE MILITARY RETREAT.
As the man Patch was seen to fall, tho com
manding officer ot the troops gave a hurried or
der to the troops to " run/’ and dipping tliolr
heads, they were Boon running nt a rapid rale,
followed by tho crowd, who continued to throw
stones into their midst as they retreated. When
at Hie eoruor of President and Stiles streets, the
crowd pressed closely upon them, and rallying
arounu them, knocked down two of the soldiers
and seized their muskets, which were very
promptly delivered Into the hands of the police
men, who cheeked them In the attack. One of
tho soldier* who was knocked down managed to
regain his lcet and make his escape, but tliu se
cond one was quickly picked up by an officer,
ami carried to the Middle statiun-nousc, where
he was protected from the crowd.
THE CITIZENS PHOT DOWN.
Tho body of troops continued to run with
great rapidity across Pratt street bridge, and as
lar as Commerce street, the point where the
street had been lorn up, where an immense con
course of people bad assembled, completely
blockading the entire street from one side to Hie
other. As the troops advanced towards them a
tremendous shout of indignation resounded
among them, and determined resistance was de
pleted upon every eountonuneo. Almost every
man of them provided hlmsclfwlth a huge pav
ing stone, and as the troops advanced a shower
of the stones were poured Into them. This Imd
the effect of checking the speed of the troops
completely, and for a few moments the citizens
were decidedly victorious.
Finding themselves hemmed in, however, the
commanding officer of the troops ordered them
to “fire,” and the order was no sooner give*'
than several of the men foremost In Mi«
Maryland am never go,” wn* the reply of the
Massachusetts man. Mr. Withered asked the
assemblage If they would submit fo this. The

Richmond Wily, than the wiles by which. Hie
Administration sought to cover up their pur
pose of war, and lull the South into inaction,
while they were preparing to plunge the sword
into our bosom. And nothing could be more
cowardly than the falsehood behind which they
now attempt to shelter themselves, that the war
was begun by the South. It is the base and
skulking device of men conscious of wrong and
shrinking from the world’s Judgment. But the
South can afford to let that pass. It has neither
tho time uor the disposition to play at a game of
dodge. It recognizes the existence of war—and
that a war not to determine whether its people
shall own slaves, but whether they themselves
shall bo slaves. Upon this issue they will fight
till the last drop of the old heroic blood is drain
ed from the heart of the last suavlvor.
Attention Georgia Volunteers!—\\c are
requested by Governor Brown to Mate that a
contingent call for five thousand volunteers, in
addition to the three thousand mentioned in
General Order No. 5, has been made upon him
by the Secretary of War of the Confederate
States, and that tenders of service by Volunteer
Companies will still be received subject to the
requirements of snid Order No. 5.
It is expected that a positive requisition for
these troops will lie made in a very short time.
The members of Volunteer Companies will re
member that tho companies must not consist of
less than fifty, nor more than eighty rank and

with a plain undress uniform, of such service
able material as they may eeleet, and with a
change of under-clothing, before they can be re

The efficient co operation of tho Board of
Managers is evidenced in the continued pros
perity of the institution. ft is with great satis
faction that I report the condition of the Society
to lie still progressing and its future prospects
flattering. We have cause to bo thankful for
the general health which has prevailed among
the boys during the past year. No death has
occurred, and no case of illness requiring the
attendance of a physician.
I take this occasion to thank the Board, and
e members ol the Society generally, for their
generous efforts lor the advancement of the wel
fare of the Union Society, ami personally to
make my acknowledgments to them for their
confidence and hearty co-operation during the
three years which 1 have been honored with Us
executive control.
Having filled, to the best of my ability, lor
three years the office of President, i desire now
to retire, and that some gentleman with equal
devotion to the cause, mid greater ability to
promote the advancement of the Institution,
may be selected to preside over It.
Grateful to an overuling Providence for His
protecting care, let us continue, fellow mem
bers, come what may, to labor for the perpetua
tion of an institution which for more than a cen
tury has dispensed its blessings to the indigent
orphan.
The very satisfactory reports of the Superin

Washington despatches to the 18lli, which state
that only seven men in the Virginia Convention
voted against secession, and they had to leave
the city- They also state that great excitement
existed in Washington, from tho apprehension
that a force under Gov. Wise was marching on
the Federal city. That it was generally believed
Virginia, backed by the Confederate States,
would 3oon have a hundred tbousaud men on

which is vulnerable at all points, and to drive

Incidents of the Bloody Conflict in Baltimore.
Tho Baltimore Exchange oi Saturday, the only
paper from that city which lias reached us in
several days, contains a long and interesting
account of the collision between Lincoln’)
lilion forces and tho unarmed tdrizensjjf,,
fullest account of that glorious event—glorious
for Baltimore and Old Maryland—with a list of
the slain Black Republican mercenaries and the
martyrs to Southern rights, we can only give
some of the more thrilling and. interesting inci
dents from the Exchange.
The appearance of the cars with tbc soldiers
in the city, as has been described, caused intense
excitement. Thousands assembled in the streets
and groaned and hissed the soldiers and cheered
for Jefferson Davis and the Southern Con
federacy. Nine cars had been permitted to pass,
when the tenth car was attacked with stones and
driven back to the Philadelphia depot, being
stoned by the crowd until it disappeared. The
crowd then commenced tearing up the track to
prevent the passage of any more cars. The Ex
change relates tho following:
FEELING AMONG THE NEGROES.
About this time some one among the party
discovered several large anchors lying unon tho
wharf near by, and a rush was immediately made
to gain possession of them. A number of ne
groes employed as sullors upon sehoouors bailing
from the South, came ashore from their vessels
and rendered every assistance in their power,
hauling the immense anchors to the centre of
the railroad track, with cheers for the “ Souf,”
and Massa Jeff. Davis.” By their assistance,
some eight of the auehors were piled upon the
track. A ear loaded with sand happened nt the
time to i)o passing, and it was also seized upon,
and being backed up, the contents were spilled
on the centre of the track.
The crowd Icarnlngthat the troops were about
to disembark at the Philadelphia depot and
h through the city, the passage of the cars
having been obstructed, rushed to the depot in
reused numbers, shouting for Jefferson
Davis and the Southern Confederacy. At the
depot tho police interfered to prevent the crowd
from rushing upon the soldiers in the cars. The
companies in six of the ears disembarked, and
with great difficulty succeeded In forming in
double file on the sidewalk, still pressed and
threatened by the infuriated crowd. The Er-
change proceeds:
A SOUTHERN FLAG RAISED.
At this Instant, a commotion was perceptible
on President street, and a man appeared, accom
panied by about one hundred friends, bearing in
bis bauds a pole having upon it a Flag qf the
Southern Confederacy. As it became perceptible,
aloud shout of enthusiasm was sent up by the
multitude, nud for several moments the air wan
rent with cheer upon eiieer for the Southern
Hag. Some miscreant here stole silently into
the crowd, and grasping ut tho flag-staff; lore it
partially in half, when he was seized by th«
throat by tho man who bore the flag, and would
have been killed upon the spot had the police
not saved him from their vengeance.
The shreds of the flag were immediately
caught up by the crowd, uud being lied upon tho
staff, was again saluted with cheers. The most
bitter tauuts were throwu at the troops by those
surrounding the flag, many of,them declaring
that they should march behind it, which they
were compelled to do as will be shown by
the sequel.
The arrangements having been perfected for a
march, the order was given, und the whole body
made a movement towards President street,
when those surrounding the Southern flag made
a bold and determined stand, and refused to
give an inch to allow them to pass. Finding it
impossible to proceed, they wheeled around and
started in an opposite direction, when cries of
“head them off” were re-echoed through tho
vast assemblage, and a rush was made to the
southern end of the depot. At this point they
ere completely surrounded, and lor several
us It was fo
minutes i
found to be impossible for them.
the body of military were formed into platoons
four abreast, when three or four of those in the
rear were attacked and separated from their
comrades. Here ngaln the police, who were un
tiring iu thcireflbrls to preserve tho pence, rush
ed in, und protecting the men, cuabled them to
regain their places in the ranks, when the body
ngain made a move, nud by their broad front,
aided by the police, they forced u passage
through the crowd.
MARCHING BEHIND A BOUTHEHN FLAG.
As the body moved off, the Southern flag v
borne to the head of the ranks, and saluted w
cheers. Groaus were given lor the troops, and
the flag was immediately surrounded by about
two hundred persons, who marched in front of
the troops, protecting tho flag and compelling
the “gallant volunteers” of Massachusetts to
march for a distance of two squares behind the
Confederate Banner.
AN ATTACK.
When about one hundred yards from the de
pot, a second attempt was made by several
“Union Shrlekers” to seize the Southern flag,
and upon bein^ attacked by the citizens, they
* • * - —— i —• —bcblvtt tho
endeavored to escape bv retreating behind the
ranks of the military. This action exasperated
fhe entire mass of cltiteuB to »U0i qn exteqf that
took deliberate aim, and ntthc first fire a worthy
young man named Frauds X. \Vurd. a member
of the City Guard Battalion, fell to the earth,
pierced by a Minnie ball in tho loft side of the
groin. The remaludcr of the troops fired in
rapid succession upon the crowd ill iront, shoot
ing several persons, some of whom wore in
stantly killed.
ONE DEATH REVENGED.
When tlic young man Ward was shot, ho was
standing, with others of his acquaintance, upon
tho pavement, one of whom witnessed the pro
ceeding, and marking the man who fired the
shot, he drew his revolver and taking deadly
aim, fired. The soldier fell to tho earth, und
would liavo been torn to pieces had the police
not interfered. Being carried In a store near
by, he was surrounded by several citizens, and it
s^on became evident that be was dying. Whilst
in tho lust throe* of death, ho exclaimed I have
got what I deserve; I left ft peaceful and happy
home to come here and Invade the land ol my
brother.” These were the last audible words ho
uttered.
A DY1NO CONFESSION.
A resident of this city was forced by tho rush
of the crowd in close proximity to one ol the
soldiers. He raised ills gun, and taking deliber
ate aim, pulled the trigger. The cap exploded
but the gun failed to go off. T ie citizen rushed
forward, and solzlng the musket, plunged the
bayonet almost entirely through Ms body.
The soldier, who was an Irishman, foil to the
ground, and was carried to this sidewalk, where
be called those around him to bear witness ‘that
lie thanked Ms God, althougu ho wasdying him
self, that his gun had not exploded; that he
never desired tills service, and was pressed into
it under threats of death;' that the people of
Baltimore did right, and that the rest of the
troops deserved Ms fate.” At tho moment of
death he again repeated Ms protest against this
unholy war upon brethren, and said ho Justified
the people ot Baltimore; and that he and his
eomrmlxA.Uad-luiuuJmAJ-w UMIcve that thepeo :
Subjects as the people of Massachusetts did.
THE TROOPS EFFECT A PASSAGE.
As those who were shot down by the soldiers
continued to fall, the citizens, who were entirely
unarmed, wnvered somewhat, and giving way be
fore the fixed bayonets of the troops, they open
ed a passage and the troops were again in mo
tion, running rapidly up *Pratt street towards the
Camden station. When at the intersection of
Pratt and Charles streets one of the soldiers, a
man named Andrew Robbias, from Btoneham,
Massachusetts, was shot In the neck by one of
the citizens, and being picked up was carried In
to the drug store^if Mr. Jesse S. Hunt.
Aided by the protection of the police and the
flectness of their heels, the gallant Massachu
setts mercenaries succeeded finally iu reaching
the Camd'tn depot, where they tumbled pell-mell
into the cars, and tints partlnlly protected from
the crowd, ran their guns through the windows
and fired upon the unarmed people, killing and
wounding some who had no part in the attack.
It was thus that Mr. DaviA, a respectable mer
chant, who was not in the crowd, was deliberate
ly shot down by one of the cowardly Invaders.
The fire was returned with pistol shots and
stones,mid-several ol the soldiers severely wound
ed. Tho Exchange thus notices the departure of
tho troops :
Thirteen ears were then drawn out, wMcii
were entirely occupied by troops, and being at
tached to a locomotive, about a quarter before
one o'clock, moved out of the depot, amid the
hisses and groans of the multitude. At every
polut witldu the city they were stoned, ami thU
was kept up until they were a considerable
distance bevbml tho city limit?. The police
force were present at the depot in strong num
bers.
VOIJJNTF.KRH DRIVEN RACK.
About half-past two o’clock tho populace,
who by this time filled the streets, proceeded in
a body, to the number of about eight or ten
thousand, to tho President street depot, a rumor
having been spread abroad to the effect that the
renowned 7th Regiment would arrive at three
o’clock. On arriving at the depot they assem
bled around the tram containing the Pblladel-
hiu volunteers, and began an attack upon those
,;ho were in the passenger ears by throwing
stones through the windows of the ears, all of
which were soon smashed into atoms.
Marshal Kane here appeared in company with
Gen. Egorton, nud it was announced that the
train would soon leave for Philadelphia. With
this understanding the crowd withdrew fora
short time, but becoming Impatient a second ut*
tack was made, during which about twenty of
the volunteers, who were unarmed, were badly
injured, being struck with stones about the body
and head. Those Iu the passenger ears were re
moved to freight ears for safely, when a large
body of them, numbering 110, Including many
members of the baml accompanying the troops,
became separated, and were taken into the East
ern station-house by the officers for protection.
After the lapse of a few moments, about 2%
o’clock, nn engine was attached to the traiu con
sisting of some twenty ears, and it passed slow
ly out of the city, an order having been Issued
by the Railroad Company for their return to
Philadelphia. The excitement soon subsided,
aud the whole party adjourned to Monument
Square to attend the meeting which was to be
held there at 4 o’clock.
A moss meeting of the citizens was convened
at four o’clock in the afternoon, at. which thi ll-
lingly patriotic speeches were made by many of
the leading Union men of Baltimore. The
bloody events of the morning had united oil
parties as one wan in defence-of the rights ol
the South, und iu a resolute determination to
permit no more Northern troops to pass over
Maryland soil to invade her sister Suites of the
South. In the course of Ms speech Gov. Hicks
declared that “he was a Marylander und that he
would sooner have Ms right arm cut off than
raise it against a sister Southern State.”
Among the speakers was Hon. Robert M.
McLane, Teaclb Wallace, Esq., Wm. P. Pres
ton, Esq., und John Wetuered, Esq.
Mr. Withered, says the Exchange, asked the
meeting where they stood-;whether they were
lor the North or for the South? '1 he response
come up unanimously—“For the South.” Ho
theii said that ho had a little family secret which
ho would disclose. It was to the effect thAt Hon.
D. M. Barringer, of North Carollua, was a
brother-lu-law of his, and was a delegate to the
Peace Conference at Washington. During the
sftssiou of that Convention, Mr. Barrlugcr, in
conversation with a delegate from Massachu
setts, askedi him if the people of the North
would be willing to let the Southern States
peaceably secede, provided the Pence Confer
ence could arrive at no settlement. The answer
wMp that all might go but Maryland. She should
never go. _
“Why not?” asked Mr. B. “Because the
Capitol Is in Maryland; because she has a large
city, with operatives, mechanics and mauutae-
turlug facilities sufficient to supply all demands
fromBouthem consumers. If

honor of Tennessee.”
John MoGavoek, of Williamson, presents to
Win. Ewing, the Representative of Williamson

company for resistance to Llncolu, a fine blood

These arc tho men who nre nt once the orna

is worth a million of intriguing ppiUlelnns, who

John Overton is worth five millions of dollars.
Gen. Harding is worth hundreds of thousands
ol dollars, and is the lavgost stock fiirmerJn
Tennessee, and there Is no belter in the Slates
of America. His personal services to the State
will also be invaluable.
When Tennessee has such-devoted sons as
these can her enemies ever subjugate her ?
Many of our friends of the Chatham Artillery

hospitable gentleman who entertained them so

whoso magnificent park and fine stock ollolted
