Ever since the occupation of Fort MeHenry bv the increased gai risen now there, the want of an adequate supply of fresh water has been seriously felt, and for some time past the military atttoriiies have been seeking to obviate the by the sinking of an artesian well iu the Fort gronnds. But after sinking the bore to tte depth of 115 feet the auger struck upon a bed of oyster shells at that great depth below tfce surface. Iu consequence of the difficulty nf working thro a gh this strata the work has been suspended for tha present, and yesterday Mr.

Suter, the water engineer of the city, was applied to by Gen. Dix. commandantof the department, for the purpose of measuring the distance from the nearest water-main of the city's pipes to the fort, with a view to the laying of a connecting pipe to the same. The distance is abont one and a half miles; this would require 5,280 feet of pipe per mile, or about 8,900 feet for the entire distance. It is proposed to tap the water-main at the corner of Fort avenue and Johnson street, South Baltimore, and carry the connecting pipe (a three-inch one) out Fort avenue direct to ths Fort.

The work has not yet been commenced, but Mr. Su ter has been directed by Gen. Dix to proceed with the measurement, etc. Meanwhile, geologists can puzzle themselves with the question How came tae oyster shells at such a depth below the earth's surface as IN IRE BAlyTlMUKIS BUN, Esnare day. so 1 Square 1 ,04 09 cio.

It is well known that the United States government, together with the State and city governments, have been for several years busily engaged, at a great expense of time and money, to improve the channel of the Patapsco river, by straightening and deepening it, so as to admit a more free ingress and egress of vessels, requiring deep water, to Baltimore. Tbis was, in a most satisfactory manner, accomplished to almost the required extent, but thtre has been, for certain reasons, a partial cessation of work, and we regret to learn that fiom proper precautions upon the part of those in authority, or by willful or thoughtless action of others, that much of the good one will be rendered of no avail. We allude to the fact that many vessels coming into the harbor, in ballast, discharge the ballast in Jhe new channel, thereby creating obstructions- and requiring the work to be, to some extent, done over again. This destruction to a most important work should be prevented. A Juvenile Military Display.

-Late yesterday afterroon the Franklin Zouaves, a company of juvenile amateurs in the art of war, passed down Baltimore street to North, up North to Fayette and Monument square, where all the intricacies of the Zouave drill were executed under tbe direction of their experienced instructor, with a Ekill arid precision that made the spectators almost forget that the display was for pasttime only, and not for the exigencies ot actual war. Tte dress and equipments of the Franklin corps is in the full Zouave style red pants, cap, with knapsack, and harmless musket and bayonet. The ages of the lads composing the Franklin Zouave3 range between 9 and 14 vears. The innocent display was witnessed wth pleasure by hundreds of citizens. They were preceded by a drum corps.

Another Excursion Spoiled. The steamer Hugh Jenkins was announced to leave her dock at Light street wharf yesterday morning, for an excuision to Point Lookout, at the mouth of the Potomac river, on the Maryland side. The intention of the excursionists was suspected by some persons, wbe made application to the military commandant to prohibit her leaving tbe port, as it was thought she might be taken possession of for the use of the Confederates. After a delay of some two hours after the time appointed to leave, the boat got off with a few passeEgers, and a compai.v of Zouaves to pror tect her. At Fort MeHenry she was stopped, atd some pieces of artillery were put on board, and she proceeded on her trip.

The arrange--ment was such that she will not ret urn until Friday. A Fearful Fall. Yesterday evening, about ,7 o'clock, Julia, aged seven years, a daughter of Mr. M. Scbloss, residing at No.

61 Harrison street, met wi'h a fearful fall, though possibly without much injury. The house has the rear running back to Jones' Falls, and has baloo-rics up to the third story. She was climbing on the third story balcony, when a piece of plank gave way, end she was precipitated to the water below, striking'ou some projecting wall as she fell. A servant girl heard the fall.and rescued the child, or she would have been drowned. A physician called, who found no bones broken, though the system was greatly shocked, and she may be injured internally.

Tbe escape from death was a narrow one. Base-Ball Election. The Ivauhoe Base-Ball Club has elected the following gentlemen officers for the ensuing year President, Wm. H. Gill; vice-president, Raleigh C.

The contest resulted in favor of the Zephyr, that club scoring 53, and the Exeter 20. Fire. A fire broke out shortly before four o'clock yesterday morning, in the two-story wooden building No.

252 Durham street, near uanton avenue, occupied by onn Schmidt nd John Jubbell. The fire originated from a defective flue in the chimney, and was extinguished after a damage of about $100 to the building.

A KOETH CAROLIKA. MERCHANT SIST TO FOET LAFAYETTE. Louis de Ht bian, who claims to be a French, citizen, but a resident of Wilmington, North. Carolina, was brought to Fort Fafayette, N. on Tuesday, from Newport, R.

I. The New York Commercial says his story, which does not differ much, from that of the U. S. Marshal, is as follows: He has been a resident and carrying on business as a merchant in Wilmington for several years, and being desirous to go to Europe on business and to see his family, he took passage on board a British vessel called the Adelso, bound to Halifax, N. in order to meet one of the Cunard steamers.

This vessel sailed from Wilmington without hindrance. Daring the storm of the 1-2 th instant the vessel became disabled and the captain, rather than let her go down with all hands on board, bore up lor a friendly port, as he supposed, in distress. Having got safely into Newport, R. the British flag, the Adelso was boarded by the revenue yacht Henrietta, Lieut. Bennett, who, ascertaining that the Adelso was last from Wilmington, N.

CM took possession of her and put a prize crew of one officer and five men on board, sealed up the trunks and papers cf the master and passengers, and made them all prisoners, and processes for libel and condemnation were issued in the courts of that district, by the captors. M. Bebian wished to go ashore and see the French consul, or to be permitted to go to some part of the British dominions, but was refused. Among the papers taken from the prisoners were letters of credit to the amount of 40,000, witn which he was to purchase clothing, arms and iron for shipment to Wilmington, N. and other places South.

We quote the subjoined news from the latest Scuthtrn papers: ADVANCE OF THE-CONFEDERATE ARMY.

The following cautiously written letter of a Richmond correspondent of the Columbus' Times, dated August 1, affords some indications of the plans of Gen. Beauregard: Last evening I spent an hour at the private lodgings of an officer of General Beauregard's staff, now on a temporary visit to Richmond. He has been at the General's right hand since the first preparations were made for the bombardment of Fort Snmter. I learned much during this interview in regard to the movements of the army of the Potomac which I am not at liberty to disclose. There are some movements, however, contemplated which, as they may be fully executed before this is in print, there is no impropriety in stating.

And first, I was gratified to learn that, had Gen. Beauregard sufficient means for transportation, he wculd have been in Washington the Wednesday after the battle, at farthest. He is now adequately supplied in this important branch of military operations, but is only awaiting tfte completion of other arrangements lecessary to his advance upon Arlington Heights from three different points. I have been informed, upon what I consider pretty good authority, that it was Gen. Beauregard's design to cross the Potomac at some point between Harper's Ferry and Georgetown, enter Washington in that direction, and thus get in the rear of the Arlington fortifications, and cut off the retreat of the Federalists on the Yirginia side of the Potomac But my friend's infoimaticn is reliable.

He is in hourly expectation of a dispatch from Gen. Beauregard, summoning him to the field. PASTIMES OF THE FEDERAL PRISONERS AT RICHMOND. The prisoners now at Richmond, seem determined to put the best fac on the matter, and make things as easy as possible for each other. With thi3 view, they have organized a "Richmond Prison Association." Hon.

Mr. Ely is the chairman, tjt Mr. Huson acts as secretary. The associon is subdivided into sanitary committees, smoking committees, police committees, They meet every evening to hear the reports of the various committees, after which a humorous Cebate fellows. Singing, and generally a dance, conclude the entertainments.

The members of the association are classified as in the House of Representatives. Each is addressed as the member from New York, the member from Connecticut, A fine is inflicted for every failure to address a. member. Not the least amusing is the nicety to which the President holds the members to parliamentary rult-s and technicalities. Edmund Connelly, one of the prisoners of the 60th regiment, in writing from Richmond prison to his brother in New York, thus alludes to our member now in prison there: "The kitchen work is done by us all in turn; and to see colonels and members of Congress washing dishes is really amusing.

Why, then, should I complain when I witness all this! Why, sir, I had a member of Congres3take his tarn with me In doing these things. His tame is Mr.Ely, from Rochester, New York." Express.

We find the following news in the Washington Star cf last evening: A RETBOGADE aiOVEMBJTT. At 11 o'clock last night we received information, which we know to be correct, stiting that Beauregard had hastily and without visible cause withdrawn his whole force at Fairfax Court House, and in advance of that position, to a point the advance of which was a mild back of the Court House village, leaving but a picket guard there. His withdrawal of his advance forces was so precipitate, as that sorae of his sick being transported, died on the Toad. The cause of this sudden change of his tactics was doubtless the impression that his advanced troops were about to fall into lien. McCIellaa's hands.

Notwithstanding, without the remotest cause, said boat was taken by the Navy Department, fastened to the brig Perry, the bar broken into, booSs, accounts, amounting to over S-iOO, thrown overboard, and a day or so after forcing the captain and -crew to narrowly escape with their lives. Of course the owner's route, trade and travel are now entirely broken up and destroyed.

making due acknowledgment of his offense, andproir ising not to- further outrage the seiitiment of the community. This he declined to do, and being requested to remove his clothes he did so, placing them, with his watch, in charge of Mr. Brown. After removing every article of clothingbut his drawers, he was comrfletely covered with a coat of tar and feathers, after wnicb, being mounted on a rail, or pole, was conveyed to Merrimac street, in front of the office of the Democrat, and directly under the American flag. He was required to cheer the flag, which he did; after which the crowd moved in the direction of Bradford.

On arriving at the bridge he was allowed to dismount and walk through it, when he again mounted the rail and was carried to the residence of George Johnson, Who was called out, but the nature oi tbe exercises there we were unabte to learn. Returning to town, a halt was made in front of the Eagle House, when the question was again submitted, if he regretted nis conduct, to which he replied in the affirmative, when, by he knelt down, and raising' his hand, repeated in substance the following confession and affirmation: "I am sorry that I have published.what I have, and I promise that I will never again write or publish articles against the North, and in favor of seces-sion, so help me God." After this he was conducted to bis home. Thus ended one of the most unfortunate, much to be regretted and disgraceful scenes that this town has ever witnessed. The Rev. Dr.

Fuller and the Wounded Soldiers. Among the letters inclosing contributions to the New York Christian Association's Army Committee is the following, from the Rev. Dr. Fuller, of this city. Baltimore, August 17, 1861.

Gentlemen: Cut off from all resources at the South, and placed in this city where every sort ef business is utterly prostrated, I am reduced to poverty; but I must send some remittance, if only to bid you God-speed in your' Christian Enclosed are five dollars. For fitteen years I have foreseen this deplorable calamity, and in every address which my brethren, North and South, have invited me to deliver, I have often with tears pleaded for the Union established by our forefathers, and for which my own ancesters fought and bled. I am now convinced that the North and Sou'h are hopelessly dissevered, and my only tope for the restoration of peace and love is in the existence of two peoples, forgetting the present unnatural conflict, remembering on the hallowed past, and living as allies bound by ties of interest, consanguinity and Christian affection. In this view all" of you may differ from me; but on one point there is unanimity between us. Our first allegiance is due to Jesus.

All eaithiy relations are but ephemeral accidents, compared with the spiritual ties which unite us forever to Jesus and each other. Amidst the disruption of other bonds which have long held together the people of this land, may the discjples of Christ feel more and more strongly the cohesi ve force and heavenly po wer of that union which shall be perfected and perpetuated in eternity. In Washington are the sick and suffering from every quarter of the country. I am sure you will remember the parable of the good Samaritan. Your brother in Jesus, R.

Fuller, D. Baltimore, Md: Rev. and Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of 17th, covering five dollars in aid of the objects of this committee. However our views may differ upon ques-. tions of cause and effect as connected with the present unhappy condition of our country, it is, as you intimate, a great satisfaction to contemplate the perfect and perennial "Union" in Heaven where there shall be no desire to secede snd no necessity for either "separation" or "reconstruction." That God's people, of all political creeds, shall finally be thus united may well be a source of comfort to American Christians now literally a "church militant" ci earth.

The last paragraph of your note conveys a hint upon which I shall act by applying your contribution to relieve the necessities of some sick or wounded prisoner at Washington. Thanking you for your practical sympathy with us in a work which it has seemed our duty to undertake, I am, my dear sir, very respectfully, your younger brother in Christ, F. W. B.

report a very bad state of affairs: gMnrder, rapine and desolation reign with lull sway. To make bad worse, while the distracted government isdoig all in its power against its enemies at home, the French and English Minisers have taken umbrage at the two years' stay law suspending the payment of the foreign debt and have suspended diplomatic relations with Juarez. Hon. Mr, Cor-win. United States refrained from joining with those personages in their demands.

On July 2Gth there was an extensive conflagration among the warehouses of some of the foreign merchants of the City of Mexico. The damage was very heavy, and there are reasons to believe that the fire was intentionally kindled by parties opposed to ioreign influence. Many families in the capital were reduced to the greatest misery; but the government had appointed a commission to afford such relief as was practicable. Bands of reactionary guerillas carried on their depredations up to the very walls of the capital, and were co-operated with by the thieves and other evil disposed persons within the walls. Marquez has announced that he will only recognize Don Jnan N.

Almonte as President. It is deduced from this, by some of the Mexican papers, that Marquez has at least the moral support and encouragement of the European nations, and that the course of the foreign ministers in regard to the payment of the conventions is only intended to embarrass the.gdyw ernment and furnish an excuse for an armed intervention. The New State op Kanawha. The ordinance creating the State of Kanawha was pass-, ed by the Western Yirginia convention by a vote of 50 to 28.

His legion was to be called into being as he advanced by the magical potency of his name and the electric inspiration of his personal qualities. His friends claimed for him a popularity with all classes of the people of Virginia beyond that of any man in the. commonwealth. It was predicted and bslieved that he would carry everything before him, from the Alleghany mountains to the Ohio river, and that lie would take no step backward until the last supporter of the Lincoln government had been driven from the borders of the Old Dominion. "But mark the result of his expedition.

Instead of the thousands that should flock to his standard, he with great difficulty collected men enough to organize into a brigade, and many of these have now deserted him. Without the ability to hold Charleston, on the Kanawha, he fell back to Gauley bridge, which in turn he abandoned, after burning the structure; and from thi3 point to Ljwisburg his retreat is said to have been attended with as much confusion almost as if the enemy under Cox had been close upon his rear. The truth has been made apparant tiiat Henry A. Wise has not the military capacity for a general. "The Confederate government, it is to be feared, is likely to fall into the same blunder which has already cost theLincolnites so dear that of appointing civilians to high places of command." THE CONFEDERATE STATES AND STATE RIGHTS.

Governor Brown, of Georgia, has been in a quarrel with President Davis, for some time, upon conflicting points of military jurisdiction, between State and Confederate au. thority. This quarrel culminated on the 2d in the disbanding at Atianta of a brigade commanded by Gen. Phillips. Gov.

Brown "improved" the occasion to denounce Jeff. Davis Co. in the following sty Is: "He regretted to see so many indications of a disposition on the part of many persons under tbe new government, to ignore the great doctrine of State rights, and to treat the States which are the very authors of its existence, and which have infused breath into its nostrils, as its provinces or dependencies. During the war he was willing to yield everything which could be yielded without a violation of an important principle, but he feared, at the end of the contest that the great battle of States sovereignty, which was fought at the revolution of 17 70, had to ba fought over again. We have now as then two classes of statesmen, each sustained by many followers.

Tne one class desirous of a strong central government, probably preferring, if they did not fear to risk an avowal of their sentiments, a limited monarchy similar to that of Great Britain, or other form of government which will accomplish the same object under a different name. "He warned the people Georgia and of the South to watch with a jealous eye, and to oppose, with determined hostility every effort, whether by construction or by bold usurpation of powers, which may be made by those in authority or by those eeekiag position, to consolidate the power of the people in the hands of the few, or to destroy State sovereignty and build upon its ruins either a monarchy or a consolidated aristocracy."

ARREST OF MR. MUIRT A Dettctive's Peep Into His Papers. Under this head the New York Tribune publishes several private letters of Mr.

Muir, of Charleston, lately arrested in New York, while en route to Europe, and sent to Fort Lafayette, on the charge of being a bearer of dispatches from the Confederate States. They were found in his trunk by a detective officer. The following letter to "Charles Cavendish Clifford, M. Honse of Commons, London," is among the number: Charleston, Jnly 31, 1S61. C.

C. Clifford, Esq. Dear Sir: The importance which our American affairs are assuming must be my excuse for again addressing you. I have just returned from Richmond, the seat ot government for the Confederate' States. I attended for a short time as a spectator the meeting of Congress, and conversed with several of the members with whom I have long been acquainted.

I arrived in Richmond the Wednesday evening succeeding the battle of Manassas, which was fought on Sunday the 21st. Long before you receive this you will have heard of the decisive victory lined by the Confederate troops. The effect of this Daiue on tne iortnern mmd will be to exasperate and excite to greater efforts than ever the gTeat masses of the ISiorth and West. They will never be content until the disgrace of this defeat is wiped ont by some counterbalancing victory on their part. As a lover of peace, and earnestly- desiring a speedy conclusion to this useless and wicked war, I could hope that neither section would be again humiliated by so disastrous a defeat as that of Manassas.

I found the members of Congress, the members of the cabinet with whom I am acquainted, and those citizens of Richmond with whom I conversed, perfectly confident of eventually gaining the day. I asked seme of the merchants of Richmond if they were not apprehensive that General Scott's army would get possession of Richmond, but they all assured me that at no time did they feel the least sense of danger, and since the recent battle they were satisfied they were not too confident. I con-less I bad my fears that Richmond, being so near to tbe base of General Scott's operations, might have been captured by the overwhelming forces of the North. I am profoundly impressed with the great strength of men, money, and the materials for waging war which the North possesses. I have been pained to see the disposition of my Eeighbors to underrate the courage and patriotism of the North, and have feared it mieht have led us into a fatal security.

The experi ence oi tne last Dattie nas taught us a useful lesson. It has convinced our people that the Yankees win fight, and most desperately, and will lead to greater caution in the future. General Beauregard had been reinforced by fresh arrivals of troops before I left Richmond, to the number of 15,000 men, and on my way to Charleston I met 2,000 more in the cars en route for the seat of war. Every railroad train carries on as many men as can find transportation, so that our Generals will have it in their power to carry the war in the enemy's country, but I am greatly afraid we will be as badly beaten in our turn when we become the invaders. It is on our own ground and for our firesides which gives us some odds in the conflict.

Men are plenty; the means of keeping them id the field are not so easily found as men, yet we trust these means will not be wanting. The object of my visit to Richmond was to attend a convention of all the banks in the Confederate States, to see how they could aid the new government with their credit in this mrgncy. It was agreed that all tbe banks stould receive on deposit, and inpayment of debts, the Treasury notes which the govern, ment are abont to issue, say to the amount of 100,000,000, and to pay out those notes to their customers. This will give them universal currency throughout the Confederate States; and as our ports are blockaded, and we must in consequence do without foreign Importations, we can use thi government credit among ourselves so long as the war lists; and when tbe war is over, these notes will have to be funded into a permanent debt. The planters are everywhere subscribing the half of their entire crops to the government loan, and it is proposed, though not yet determined upon, that the government aid the planters to the extent of the whole crop, either by its bonds or by treasury notes, the larger denominations of which are to bear an interest of over 7 per would induce many persons to hold them as an investment.

To an English financier suchaplaa might seem very ruinous; but we have made up our minds that the government must be supported in the war at all hazards and at any cost, and should these treasury notes depreciate or become worthless, we had better suffer than return to such a government as now rules at Washington. It is but fair to say that our opponents talk equally strong about their unalterable determination to restore the old Union to its original glory, even if in doing so they "destroy the country." This is a curious paradox, but I have several letters now before me from northern fri nds asserting the absolute necessity of keeping the Union entire, even if the southern States have to be overrun with fire and sword. Indeed the tendency to brag and bluster is so strong that neither section can beep from it. My trip to Richmond earried me through the rich cotton region of South Carolina, and through the com region of North Carolina and Virginia. Everywhere there is a promise of a most abundant yield One more rain, say in a week from this time or a fortnight, and both crops are substantially made, though a favorable autumn for cotton picking is essential for a large crop of that article.

I have never in all my experience seen such favorable prospects for the planter as there now are: and if we can only get it to market we shall have the means of purchasing largely of foreign goods. Piesent my regards to Sir Augustus and Lady Clifford. I shall long remember the pleasant family dinner at their house. Yours, James S. M.

Cartes. Another letter from a lady, dated Norfolk, July 11, to a friend in Liverpool, says: "The blockade has caused everything to rise in value. I hear that there is not a barrel of white sugar in the place and tea and coffee are things you must not expect to replenish, when they give out, and if it were Jt for soft crabs and fish I dont know what we should do. There is such a demand for meat of every kind that it is almost beyond the reach of the poor. "The schooner Henry Middleton (a first class vessel) is loading with spirits for Liverpool.

She will take about 600 barrels. A number of persons are interested in the cargo, and we intend her to run the blockade and enter your port under the Confederate fiag. "I Am under the impression that this war will soon be brough to a close. Watch closely the movements at your government towards this couiitry. If it interferes we will soon have things put to rights aia Endeavor to have feme goods to meet the raising ot the blockade.

Salt is worth to-day $1 per sack. There is a large and fine crop of -wheat made in this State and. Georgia. A pood business might ba done in it if we only had. an opportunity of snipping." gR.

T. Walker, of Charleston, writing to Liverpool, says: "There has been 600 barrels spirits of turpentine sold this week at 25 cents the gallon. It is intended for shipment to Liverpool direct from this port, notwithstanding our harbor is blockaded. There is Eome risk attending it, no doubt, but I think it will go safe. In case the vessel should be overhauled by the fleet, the captain has instructions to fire her.

The paities making the shipment are determined the Yankees will derive eo benefit from it. The stock of spirits is this pi ice is about 1.200 barrels none of it for sale under 3.1 cents. There will be very little fine rosin received here this year, in comparison with the last, many of the distilleries having abondonedthe business." Blob Proceedings at the North. Mob law seems, unfortunately, to be making rapid strides at the North. Almost daily now, we hear of mobs in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

That these lawless proceedings are countenanced by any number of respectable citizens of the North, we cannot for a moment believe. Subjoined are some additional particulars of the outrages already briefly noted by telegraph: mob in eastern Pennsylvania. Correspondence of the New York Express. Easton, Aug. 20, 1861.

Our town was last evening, or ra-her night, the scene of a most disgraceful mob, originating in the dif-ferecces between Col. Philip Johnson, M. and the ultra Republicans. The Democrats held a County Convention yesterday afternoon, at which Col. Johnson "took occasion to defend his course in the late extra session of Congress, and to make some pointed remarks in relerence to the administration.

After the meeting was declared adjourned, the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of Pbillipsburgh, attempted to reply to Colonel Johnson, but was prohibited. This naturally created excitement, and a sort of personal warfare was kept up among tbe crowd till evening, when a large number of men and boys resolved upon burning the Hen. M.

C. in effigy. This preiude having bet gone through with, they then repaired to tus residence and demanded atonement for the sins ol ihe afternoon Tbe Coionel having satisfied them of his patriotism, siid the spirit of mobocracy being by this time rampant, tbe cry was for vengeance upon tbe Sentinel office, a democratic paper, a tfeehce the crowd rushed, and breaking oj en tbe door and windows, they soon laid the f-iatlifbment in mins, or, as toe phrase goe3, "cleaned it out." The work of destruction be-in complete, on they marched for the Argus office the property" of Col. Hutter, ex-postmaster which was soon broken into, and the glorious work of "convincing a man against his will" commenced but it was finally voted to suspend operations here for twenty-four hours to give one, of more loyal stripe, occupying the story above, a chance to move out or for Col. Hutter to "reform." The next in order was ex-Senator Broadhead, when on rushed the mob, pell mell, to the residence of that gentleman ut he was not to be caught napping and the rowdies found him, not only sitting under his own "vine and fig tree," but under the folds of the Stars and Stripes, whijh gracefully floated from the window abive him thus literally proclaiming "his house his castle," where "none should molest or make him" afraid.

A few words from the Hon. ex-Senator, and again the mass moved pn to the residence of Colonel Hutter and demanded the Stars and Stripes. The colonel being absent, on his amiable and excellent wife devolvt-d the duty, or necessity, of casting pearls before swine," and our beautiful and noble emblem was made to float upon the breeze polluted by the presence of a mob. The next oa the programme was District Attorney Schuyler, and here again the flag was displayed and a few eloquent but sarcastic remarks were made by Mr. Schuyler.

The order again was given, "On to Porter's." A halt was soun ordered in front cf the residence of the Hon. Judge Porter one of the oldest and most exalted citizens of onr commonwealth and notwithstanding the fact thtt he was ill and confined to his room, a harangue from him was nevertheless demanded. In obedience thereto, one of the accomplished daughters ot the judge made her appearance at tbe window, and, in language most chaste and heautif ul assured the mob of the love and reverence which the entire household bore for the Union and for bright and glorious emblem, but wished them to understand that though the house should be razeed about them, the sacred folds of that flag would not be unfurled by her or her family at the behest of a mob. This firm and eloquent little speech was too much even for the mob spirit and quietly, and almost silently, the demonstration broke up Tnd the disturbers of the peice soon after repaired to their homes, to reflect upon, and I doubt not to regret, the work they had been engaged in. THE MOB AT HAVERHILL, MASS.

We find in the Boston Traveller (republican) a letter detailing the proceedings of the mob at Haverhill, on Monday night. It appears that Mr. Kimball, the editor of the Essex County Democrat, published in taat town, had rendered himself obnoxious by his alleged violent and indiscreet editorial comments on the war and against the republicans. Tbe. writer, after stating that Mr.

K. had been frequently of late threatened with violence, proceeds with his narative: For stveral days there had been intimation given of a '-forward movement," of which the editor vt as fully aware, and last evening the streets were mere than usua ly enlivenea by tbe people gathered in qufet but interested pioupsat various points. Mr. Kimball wa3 evidently aware that "something was brewing," and at about half pasteight o'clock, passed Item Merrimac street into Main street, accompanied 'by several of hi3 friends, among whtm were George Johnson, Esq, of Brid-f. rd.

Dr. J. C. How, SCr. Damon, Mr.

Bodflsh ethers, v.bo took their carriages in Main street and drove iapiUly to the residence ol Mr. Kimball. On entering the carriages the cry of fire was raised, and instantly from every point a crowd of people centered in the street, following in pursuit. On arriving at his residence the authorities ordered the mob to disperse, but they were not prepared to meet so formidable a were therefore unable to control it. George Johnson, understood to be one of the supporters of the paper.and Dr.

J. C. How, appeard, armed with revolvers; but they were summarily deprived of them, and Dr. How quite severely handled, so as to require assistance home, while Mr. Johnson made a safe retreat to his residence in Bradford.

Mr. Kimball was loudly called for, but not appearing, the crowd entered his house and seized him. He drew a revolver, which was the signal for the presentation of a half a dozen by his captors, pointing to his person, which led to a quick surrender, and he was conduct-: ed down Main street in front of the Eagle House, and placed "within a circle, when he was asked if he regTetted what he had published, to which he made no reply. He was then asked to lay off his clothes, when he made a request to see Mr. Brown, of Li Ml noted above! Fine Baltimore Street Improvements Completed.

The fine flve-story brown stone front warehouse in course of erection during the past spring and summer on the southeast corner of Liberty, and Baltimore streets, has just been completed, and will be immediately occupied by its owners, Messrs. Steiner Brothers, clothiers. The arrangements of the warehouse are most complete in all its departmenst, and render it first-class in every respect. This warehouse completes the square on which iu revolutionary times stood the "Old Congress Hall," and the Messrs. Steinerhave christened their portion the same, in order to perpetuate the memory of the old edifice.

The marble front five-story warehouse of Messrs. Devries, Stephens Thomas, dry goods merchants, north side of Baltimore above Libeity, has also been just completed, and is now being occupied by the firm. This also is one of the finest warehouses in the city. The two warehouses building on the site of those destroyed on Baltimore street, above Charles, in the destructive fire of December last, are approaching completion, and the autumn will witness their occupancy by the firms for whom they are intended. Accident at Mount Clare.

About two o'clock yesterday afternoon a lad named Luptou, aged 11 years, whose parents reside in the vicinity of tbe Mount Clare Station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, while playing on the cars in the yard of the station, had his foot caught between the bumpers of two cars and crushed. The lad was sitting or standing upon the bumper of a car, when two more were run down by tbe team. The moving cars struck violently against the standing one. and catching the lad's foot, crushed it dreadfully. The sufferer was conveyed home to his parents by the driver of the team and ethers.

No blame was attached to the driver either by the railroad company or the parents of the injured boy, as the lad, with others, had been daily warned of the danger of riding on the cars at the depot at any and all times. Charges of Theft. Two colored men, E. Hammond and A. Hiunan, were before Justice Logan yesterday, charged with having in their possession two pairs of shoes, which were supposed to have been stolen; they were cencmitted for a further examination.

Philip Ccnig and Nicholas Shaffer were before the same magistrate, charged with stealing wood from the Druid Hill park. They were likewise held for a hearing. Yesterday morning, on tbe arrival of the jGeorgeanna from Old Point, a man named Thomas Rogers was arrested on the charge of having stolen about $90 from some volunteers, who were returning to their homes. Ee was taken to the Central police station, but the parties who caused his arrest failed, to appear. It was also alleged that be was a deserter frcrji Old Point, and was sent back by the same boat on which he came to the Accident from a Firearm.

On Tuesday evening a son ef Mr. Samuel Hazelhurst, No. 224 West Lombard street, while handling a loaded pistol, found that he could not let the hammer down upon the nipple. He thoughtlessly took a brick and began pounding the hammer do wn, when it fell and discharged the weapon, the load passing through the fleshy part of his left hand, inflicting a very bad wound, and endangering several fingers. The lad is aged about 10 years.

The Weather yesterday was" as pleasant as could be desired. The sky was clear, and at no time did the mercury indicate more than seventy-two degrees. The late rains had the effect to cleanse the streets, and pedestrianism was far more pleasant than for Borne time past..
