They reached Baltimore in the | steamers Keyport and Planter, and their ap- | pearance indicated not only want but general | destitution. Some of theirstatements, showing ‘what they had suffered, were calculated to | touch the hardest heart, and much sympathy ‘was expressed forthem. Happily they are now in the enjoyment ot such comforts as warm friends are enabled to bestow. 7 We learn from Missouri that the guerril- i &8 continue to infect various parts of the inte- rior with more or lessactivity. The true char- acter of this warfare is illustrated by the rob- | ‘bery of the branch of the Western Bankof Mis- | souri, at Bloomington, by guerrillas, on the 20th instant. They stole $15,000, including 2,000 in coin belonging to depositors. Bushwhack- ing and horse thieving are now considered sy- monomous terms. Rebel sympathizers in the interior have of late suffered quite as severely as the Union men. 7 Two barns—one belonging to the enroll- | the reception of their ing officer, and the other toa prominent loyal , citizen—having been destroyed by rebel sym- pathizers in Harford county, Md., General Schenck, in order to prevent such outrages in the future, has assessed various amounts upon thirty persons residing in the neighborhood of | said barns, in order to remunerate the owners | ot the barns destroyed. The assessment ameunts in the aggregate to #3,000, and the parties compeled to pay it are of known secesh | proclivities. u7-The statement published in a number of | ; journals that the Rebel general officers cap- tured at Vicksburg have been exchanged is in- | ‘correct, no such exchange having taken place. | ‘The Rebels have no officers of general rank nor | enough of minor rank to fulfill terms of the cartel. 7 Watermelons have made their appear- ; ance in Baltimore. The American calls them | “ cholera bombshells.” Personat.—Secretary Chase and daughter, | and Senator Sprague of Rhode Island, were at the Fifth avenue Hotel, N. Y.. yesterduy.

Bee EL Sap AccipENT.- Yesterday evening, about five or six o'clock, while a train of burden cars from the wharf was standing on the curve, at the corner of Sixth street and Maryland avenue, Augustus Stewart, a boy between 12 and 14 years of age, (son of Mr. Richard Stew- agt, Superintendent of Public Buildings,) started to walk across the track justas thetrain began to move, and he was caught by the cow- catcher of the locomotive, and thrown across the track, the wheels ot the cars passing over his left ankle, and severing his foot from the Jeg, and passing also over the right leg of the boy, tearing the flesh off the calf of the legina horrible manner, and inflicting such severeand puinfal injuries that death ensued about three hours after the accident. The suffering boy was taken to his home, near by, and Drs. Willett, May, Leibermanand Croggon were speedily in attendance, but their services were of no avail. It was at one time pro: d to amputate the right leg, but upon administering the chloroform, the sufferer was found to be sinking so fast that the operation was considered useless, and therefore it was not performed, The testimony of eye-witnesses as to the cause of the distressing occurrence is conflict- ing—some alleging that the train was started without warning, and others asserting posi- tively that the engine bell was rung continu- ously. pam 12s De In Jatt ror TRIAL aT Court.—For a long time the police have been looking for Thomas Bowie, colored, who stands charged with rob- bing a man named Braxton Uampbell, also colored, of $27.51, under very aggravating cir- cumstances. Campbell was looking for em- ployment, and Bowie met him on the street, and_proposed to employ him, pretending that he (Howe) ‘was going to open an eating house and wanted a good cook. Campbell, glad of a chance to go to work, went with hing and one of his associates, to see the place where the establishment was to open; and they walked out by Gales’ woeds, north of the city. When near the woods, Bowie stopped and feeling in his pocket, remarked that he was short of change and wanted to get something to eat at a shanty he pretended was kept in the woods. Turning to Campbell, he asked if he had any change. Campbell took ont his pocket-book, in which he had $27, & fifty cent note and four nnies. Bowie said tohim, «Give me that ity cent note?” and snatching the pocket- book and money from Campbell, ran off into the woods. Bowie’s partner remained with Caapbell, and remarked to him, with a laugh, «Oh! he is only fooling with you,” and Camp- bell did not pursue Bowie, who disappeared in the pines. Campbell never saw him again until he was arrested yes. eey by Roundsman Eckloff ot the Fourth \" ‘ustice Clark sent Bowie to jail for court. ———— : Broken UP.—Last night, Captain Johnson, with a guard, made a descent on No. 33 Maine avenue, & house kept by Madame Harris, which has lately become quite noterious, anda popular resort where all sorts of refreshments ‘were to be obtained, and arrested the follow- ing—leaving the house in charge ofa guard, and two ofthe women behind who were too ill to be removed :—Elizabeth Moore, Elizabeth Paul, Mary Wyley, Fannie Brown, Kate Jones, Frank Martin, and Hester Champion. They were escorted to the Central Guardhouse, and this morning were released by Justice Fergu- son, On a firie of five dollars each, and received orders not to enter the house except to remove their clothes. This is not the pel” house of the kind in that neighborhood, and if the same course is’ pursued twoward them, the guard will be justly entitled to the thanks ef the com- munity. Sua eee Larze?
