The Fight at Baltimore. - j The following Darticulars of the fi-rht between the citizcns of lakimore and the Massachusetts ' Lent of volunteers on the 19th inst., will be j found interesting. The Regiment was on its Way to Washington in answer to Lincoln's call: I have conversed with several who were eve j witnesses to the frightful scenes of Friday. They inform me, that there could not have been less i than 2O,0U0 people engaged, and their passions I had been so terribly aroused, that they rushed to the charge with an impetuosity amouutiug to al most frenzy. Resistance to men so determined and engaged in such a course, was worse than folly. As well might human power attempt to stay the I j,;d tllfJ tt.UiUOKt' i "ia 11 e '"I'tuouh mountain torrcut, and control the whirlwind, or ocean be still. , t vr;,4aB .i1Q t...l ; an ahuost unrcstraiuabie pitch UHi 8everal of the j participants infoimedan eye witness that so heavily ; dkl t!ie one allabsorbing idea of not allowing these j troODa t0 D 8 throuirh Haltimore urev unon their inindj, that they passed a sleepless night, and glad- :. v hailed the first giey streak of dawn to betake tlCiuselves to the streets , see their nei ghbors and friends, and appeal to their patriotism and self-respect to aid in repelling the passage of the inl'a- nious wretches who were coiuing ou a mission so execrable. At about 10:35 a. m , the Massachusetts and other volunteers, some from 1'hiludelphia, but none from New York, reached the 1'resident street depot. Here an immense crowd had col lected, and it was palin.b!v manifest that it was very far from their object to tender the troops an ovation. The arrangements of the railroad offi cials were to pass thirty-one cars occupied by vol unteers, from the point above mentioned to the Camden station of the Baltimore and Ohio Kail road, over the track laid down between the two depots on Pratt street. In accordance with these arrangnments, the cars were despatched one after another, drawn by horses, and upon the arrival of the first car at the intersection of (jay and Pratt streets, an enormous crowd having collected there, unmistakable de monstrations were made that an effort would be put forth to stop the cars at that point. Here too repairs of the road were progressing, and a goodly number of paving stones lying about in piles were taken possession of by the excited crowd, aud sub sequently used for purposes of assault. Six of the errs had succeeded in passing on their way before the crowd were able to accom plish their purpose of barricading the track, which they now began to effect by placing heavy anchors lying in the vicinity directly across the rails. Some seven or eight were borne by the crowd and laid on the track, and thus the passage of the tars was effectually interrupted. J he object ot barricading the track wtis accom plished, the crowd commenced cheering lustily for the Confederate fetates, President Jefierson Davis, South Carolina and Secession, occasionally inter mingling groans for sundry obnoxious individuals. In the meanwhile the Yankee hirelings thus de layed at the depot remained quietly in the cars un til tired of their inaction, t:nd apprehending a more formidable demonstration, they came to the conclusion to bravo the storm and march through the city. They accordir gly evacuated the c.rs and rapid ly gathering on the street north of the depot form ed in a line and j repaiod to make the attempt. The word was given to 'march' and the head of the line had advanced some fifteen paces, when it was driven back upon the main body by the immense crowd still further increased by a body of men who marched down to the depot bearing at tl Kir head a Confederate flag. Kight of the cats started fioni tl c President street depot, aud six passed safely to the Camden station. The other two soon returned, the track in the meantime having been ,bstructed at the corner of Pratt and CJay stretts by anchors, pav ing stones, sand, &c , being put on it by the crowd. Attempts had previously bien made to tear tin the track, but the police by strenuous efforts pre vented. A cart load of sand w hich was being j driven along was seized and thrown upon the track. The bridge across Jones Falls on Pratt street, was also soon after barricaded w ith beards, etc., which were being used previously by workmen in repairing it. Alter considerable delay it was determined to make the attempt to march the remaining troojs through the city, only about sixty of whom was supplied with arms. The remainder were recruits, and occupied second-class and baggage cars At the head of this column, on foot, Mayor Brown placed himself, and walked in front, exert ing all his influence to preserve peace. Just before the movement was made from the i ears a large crowd of persons went down Presi ! dent street with a Southern flag and met the ! troops as they emerged from the cars. The South- : ern flag was then carried in front of the column, and hooting and yelling began, and as soon as the i troops turned out of Canton avenue, they were i greeted with a volley of stones. ! At the corner of Fawn street two of the soldiers , were struck with stones and knocked down! one of them was taken by the police to the drug store of T. J. Pitt, at the corner of Pratt and High streets, and the other to the eastern police station, j The yelling continued and the stones flew thick ; and fatt. At Pratt street bridge a gun was fired, said to have been fired from the ranks of the . soldiers. j Then the crowd pre.-scd stronger, until the lody . reached the corner of (Jay street, when the troops : presented amis and fired. Several persons fell on the first round, and the crowd became furious. A number of revolvers were used, and their shots i took effect in the rauks. People then ran in every direction in search of but hQ armorics of he wilit.,ry C01ilpanieS tue c'y were c'os'y guarded, and none could be obtained. 1 he bring continued Irora J? redenck street to South street in quick succession, but how many fell cannot now be ascertained. At the central police station two soldiers were taken in dead, as al?o two citizens. Three soldiers and one citizen were taken to the same place wounded. The crowd passed on op to Pratt street, and near Light street there was another volley fired. A frenzied croud reltirned the fire from re volvers and with bricks. Andrew Robinson, a member of a volunteer company from Stonington, Conn., was shot in the back of the head and fell from the ranks. At the corner of Howard and Dover streets, one of the military companies was pressed upon, when the troops in one of the cars fired a volley into the citizens. The balls struck in the brick walls of the dwelling, dashing out pieces of brick, and making large holes iu the walls. Tho fire was returned from several points with guns and revolvers, and with bricks by the crowd. Several soldiers were wounded here", but it is thought no citizens were struck by the bullets of the soldiers. Tho faces of many of the soldiers, as seen through the car windows, were streaming with blood from cuts received irotn the shattered glass of car windows, and from the missiles hurled into them. Several wounded, supposed to have been shot in their passage along Pratt street, were taken out of the cars iu a bleeding and fainting condition at the Camden station, and transferred to the other cars. From Gay to South street, on Pratt, the fight with the soldiers who marched, or rather ran through town, was terrific. Large paving stones were hurled into the ranks from every direction j the negroes who were about the wharf, in many instances joining in the assault. At Gay street the soldiers fired a number of shots, though with out hitting any one, so far as could be ascertained. After firing this volley the soldiers again broke into a run, but another shower of stones being hurled into the ranks at Commerce street with such force as to knock several of them down, the order was given to another portion of them to halt and fire, which had to be repeated before they could be brought to a halt. They then wheeled and fired some twenty shots, but from their stoop ing and dodging to avoid the stones, but four or five shots took effect, the maiks of a greater por tion of their balls being visible on the walls of the adjacent warehouses, even up to the second stories. Here four citizens fell, two of whom died in a few moments, and the other two were carried off, supposed to be mortally wounded. As soon as they hud fired at this point, the mis erable poltroons again wheeled and gave leg bail, when some three or four parties issued from the warehouses there and fired into them, which brought down three more soldiers, one of whom was carried into the same store with the one above alluded to, and died in a few moments. The others succeeded in regaining their feet, and pro ceeded on with their conuades, the whole running as fast as they could, and a running fire was kept up by the soldiers from this point to the depot. the crowd continuing to hurl stones into the ranks throughout the whole line of march. When it became evident that the Northern troops wre firing with ball cartridge upon the citizens, there was instant resort to firearms, and people rushed frantically to their homes and the gun shops. The gun store of Mr. J. C.J. Meyer, 14 West Pratt street, near Mill, was broken into bv an excited, unarmed crowd, who armed them selves, assuring the proprietor that his guns would be returned to him, or full compensation made. At the first collision with the troops the citizens were mostly unarmed. The Governor, Mayor, and President of the Board of Police, at noon caused an order for the instant assembling of the military of the city, with instructions to repel the march ot any more Northern troops through the city. IXCIDKNTS OF TIIE HAITI. K. While the cars containing the troops were stand ing at the President street depot, a clerk from the custom house went into one of them and de nounced the soldiers in bitter terms. A captain ordered him out, threatening if he did not go they would fire on him. lie replied they wore too cowardly to fire, when the officer struck at him with his sword, which blow he received on the left hand, and with the other knocked him down and took his sword from him, as also the scabbard A private interfered for the protection of his com mander, an,l he too the clerk knocked down with a heavy drawn pistol, and escaped with his prize the sword the only injury he received being a lrity severe cut across his hand. At the intersection of Gay and Pratt streets, while the soldiers were firing upon the crowd, two other clerks from the same place ran into the ranks, and each knocking down a soldier with his fists, bore off their muskets as trophies of their exploit. The young man shot in the log, and taken to the infirtnarj, and attended by Dr. Morris, ap peared quite grateful for the humane attentions shown him. Y hen asked why he came, the simple and unsophisticated reply of the youth was, "Oh, the ring the btars and .Mripes. It was expected that the wounded leg would have to be amputated last night. He is only about IK years old, and may he live to grow wiser as he grows older. Another of these in the station-house Mid he had no enmity against the South, and came only beciusc his company was ordered out, otherwise he would have been jeemPas a coward and re creant. Others in the companies were actuated by the same motives. A body of one hundred and five of the volun teers from the North was taken in charge by the police of the eastern district and sent hackr They are now said to have stopped at Magnolia. At the eastern police station hist night, a Ger man asked for lodging. lie said he had been forced in the car at Philadelphia, but did not know where they were going to take hiin. j The military train in its run to Washington was stopped at the Jackson bridge, near Chinquepin j Hill,' by the removal of several rails. They dis embarked, and the rails were relaid, under the , protection of the troops. An occasional shot was fired at the trooos from the hills and woods alon the route, but the range was too Ion effect. for any The Baltimore Exchange, of the 19th inst., says : A messenger arrived here yesterday from the JIayor of Charlestown, Va., to Garrett, the Presi dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in structed to demand guarantees from him that no troops should be permitted to pass over the main stem, and that no munitions of war should be suffered to be removed from the arsenal at Harp er's Perry. If these guarantees were not given, the messenger was authorized to ptate to Mr Gar i ntf tbftt iKfl brblrrn nt TT.rrtor'a Parrw nbl .f once be blown up. Letters hare also been re ceived from numerous farmers on the route to the effect that if any troops were allowed to pass over the road, the bridges would at once be burned. A dispatch has been sent from the Northern Central Road to Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, stating that the feeling is so intense in this city that no more troops can be allowed to be trans ported over that road. It is further understood that the Philadelphia and Wilmington Ilailroad Company have been notified that troops arriving in this city over that road will not be carried by rail to Washington. Four bridges on the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad have been destroyed, to prevent tha passage of Northern troops. Fort Mcllenry, it is said, is besieged by 12,000 Marylauders. Baltimore has voted $o00,000 for the defence of the city. No h folk, April 20. The Powder Magaxine was seized last night, by order of Gen. Tuliaferro. It contained thirty-two hundred barrels of powder, a large qnantity of loaded shells, immense number of shrapnel, shot and percussion caps. M . ANOTIIER PROCLAMATION FROM OLD ABE.
