Hancock Ordered to Baltimore, The Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy had a long conference to-day, which resulted in important precautionary measures being taken to protect the inter- ests of the government in Washing- ton. After a full conference, it was agreed that the Secretary of the Navy should telegraph to the commanders of the U. 8. men-of war Swatara aod Powhatan, now ly ing at Norfolk, to come at once, unier full steam, to this city. They are expected to arrive jy to-morrow morning, with about ! lors and marines, all of whom will be armed and uti'ized for the de- fense of such government property as may be threatened by a mob from Baltimore or other point. Marine Corps, consisting of about 230 Men, Willalso be kept under arms and in readiness to move to any threatened point al moment’s notice. cretary of War also telegraphed the fing officer at, Fortress Monroe to dispatch at once to this city two batteries, numbering about 20 men. They are ex- pected to be here early to-morrow morning. The Secretary of War this afternoon or dered General Winfield 8. Hancock, com- manding the department of the Atlantic, With headquarters at New York, to proceed at once to Baltimore and assume personal command of all the troops at that point. Secretary Sherman is said to be somewhat hervous over the aspect of affairs, and it is understood was mainly instrameotal in having these forces ordered to Washington. ee THE RAILROAD INSURRECTION.

(rom our special Baltimore correspondent.) THE STREET AFFRAY—THE FEELINGS oF THE PEOPLE—THE BITTERNESS OF THE WOMEN—COMMENTS UPON THE SITUA- TION. Your correspondent went at 6 a. m. to-day to Camden station and made a careful sur- vey of the situation there. The police and citizen soldiers were in full possession. No indication of any feeling at that hour ex- cept curiosity. The streets were all guarded, and passere by were told tomoveon. The shed at Lee street was partially burned. The despatcher's office at that corner (a small frame structure) was entirely destroyed. On one of the tracks @ locomotive stood in a dis- abled condition, and near to ita first-class coach, burned to its floor. The tracks that Were torn up had been pepinces, and several passenger trains came in about 7 o'clock Without being molested anywhere. I found Capt. Geo. W. Earhart in charge of the po- lice at Lee street Jaded after 24 hours contin- uous service, but alert and in full control. He Is satisfied that the outbreak last night Was @ Spontaneous movement, in no way concerted, but came from the great masses of laboring men, idie in the evening, whose sympathies are wholly with the strikers. The oth regiment has its armory io the center of the city, directly opposite the shot tower, on Front’ street, @ neighborhood where the great majority of the people are ardently in fellowship with the working classes. ublic alarm that notified them also advised the community, and for every volunteer soldier, ten or probably hundreds of citizens went tothe rendezvous with the strongest prejudices against the militar pet mes city in the interests of the rati- road. It was among this crowd that death found most of its vietims. The regiment Was assailed, stoned and fired at by the law- less as they marched Cm Baltimore street. Exasperated and disabled in part, a number turned upon the mob and fired without or- ders; the result was the usual history of such emeutes. A nuniber of jmmoosst peonte were killed and others wounded. Of the soldiers, William H. Young, an actor, son of Fred. Young, the foréman of The Sun office for somany years, was one of the dangerous!: wounded es to the 6th iment. Among the di or injured no strikers have been recognized; they evidently were not in the street affrays. I donot think there will be another formidable movement of a law- less character in this city. That of last night was too spontaneous to have me- thod and too quick to permit its earlier sup- Pression. There is no disguising the fact the strikers in all their lawful acts have the fullest sym y Of the community. The 10 cent. action after two previous reduc- has boasted of its great earatage and pata as earnings, pai enormous dividends. All that it could save off of the reduction upon the = of the firemen would be ten per cent. of wages of three bundred men, avoragns about six dollars per week, which would be less than 10 000 per year. losses of the company already have been estimated at $100,000. The fremen evidently bave worked hard, suffered much en very small pay; they are chiefly ola employes, marri families deperdant upon thet intelligent seem content to pubtic and ask if per- mit over $5 we wo go to the nousing, clothing and feeding a family are more than ficient as @ remu: for experienced bor full of danger and res: ibility.

They ok ‘amished and wild, and declare for starvation rather than their people shouki work for the reduced wi & ler to tiarve outright (said one in my hearing) than to die by slow starvation.” I have ge. you frankly and truthfally all that Ihave seen and heard to-day.

As the Loops from Fort Columbus marched from the President street depot ot the Philadelphia, Wilmington and iti- more railroad up Pratt street to Camden street depot, a few stones were thrown from the crowd on the sidewalk, and one of the soldiers struck. This assault was apparently unheeded, as the men marched on without halting. It is said the assailant was prompt. ly arrested by the police.

Wildest rumors prevail as to the in- tention of the strikers to-night. Last night's fighting and fre have rendered them more desperate. Our wires to Pittsburg have all been cnt, but enough has been received to prove that the situation there is quite seri- ous. A Better Feeling in Baltimore. BALTIMoRE, July 2, Pp. m.—A dis- patch from Camden tion, dated 12:15 p. ™., says: Itis quiethere. The several com- panies of United States soldiers which arrived here yesterday afternoon are still quartered at the railroad depot I see no reason to fear any outbreak. There may be trouble when the com: attempts to move its freight train. Colonel Dovglass, Governor Carroll’s aid, is here in communication with his chief. There seems to be generally a better feeling prevailing, but ‘everish interest in rumors of matters at Baltimore and Pittsburg. —_2+— THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON. What Is Said and What Is Being Done. Notwithstanding the exciting news from Pittsburg, it is thought by the Cabinet offi- cers thatno further action of the govern- ment will be necessary in quelling the riots, and that no requisition for government aid will be made by the Pent sylvania authori- ties, for that state is considered able to take care of itself. No official dispatches have been received at the War department from Pittsburg because there are no regular troops stationed there. Should a requisition for aid be made to the President during the day he will take some immediate action. It ik thought, however, that the reports from Pittsburg are exaggerated greatly. A few clerks are kept on duty in the departmeats to-day to attend to any work that may be- «ome necessary. THE PRESIDENT CAME IN FROM SOLDIERS’ HOME this morning, but = -eeded to church with- out stopping any time at tbe White House. Secretaries Thompson and McCrary, Adja- ‘a t General Townsend and General Benet held a conference at the War department this morning. Dispatches from Cumberiana report #1Tairs quiet in that vicinity. Auother company from Gen. French's command was forwarded there from Martinsburg last night. Thi- makes three detachments sent to Cumberiand.

Arrival of the Troops from Fortress Monrve. The steamer Jane Moseley arrived at her wharf at 7 o'clock this morning trom Fortress Monroe and Norfoik, bringing two compa- nies of artillery equipped as infantry. These are companies A, 3d artillery, in command of Captain Randolph, and company C, 5th artillery, commanded by Captain Loraine, sixty men each. They are rendezvoud at the Arsenal and are awaiting orders. ‘When they left Fortress Monroe at 6 o'clock last night the war vessels Powhatan and Swatara, lying in Hampton Roads, were making preparations to leave for this city With between 500 and 600 sailors and marines.

The ofMicer in command, General Brinton, - ably, though it is contradicted, then his men to fire, and the word went along the line from platoon to platoon until the left of of the line was reached. and the firing was repeated several times. The crowd, of course, fled in dismay, inclading the strikers who sought shelter in every direction bebind cars, stumps, rocks, piles Of rails, &c. The road during the firing was apparently strewn with the killed and wounded. THREATS OF THE RIOTERS. After the firing ceased the majority of those left unhurt beatahasty retreat. immediately after the firing crowds of excited people sprang up as if by magic frorg all directions. A woman and a little girl Were among the wounded. Hundreds of people in no way connected with the railroad expressed their determination to join with the strikers in driving them from the city. These remarks were interspersed with loud and bitter threats that the company’s shops, depots and build- ings should last night be laid in ashes. | While some of the soldiers were ¢: shot comrade to shelier at the corr erty and 28th streets they were attacked by an excited mob and compelled to drop the body of their friend. The soldiers, a squad of Six, prepared to charge on the crowd, when they were allowed to pass. INTENSE EXCITEMENT. The news of the firing spread through the city like wildfire and produced the most in- tense excitement. The streets were rapidly crowded and the wildest rumors prevail Nearly every one deprecated the action of } the soldiers as useless, and only tending to incite the mob to violence. When the news reached the large number of rolling-mili hands and workmen in the various sbops of the city, they were excited to frenzy. anid by eight o'clock the streets of the central por tion of the ci ere alive with them. TWO HUNDRED RIFLES SEIZED. A large crowd broke into the manufactory of the Great Western guo-works and cap- tured 200 rifles and a quautity of smaliarms, and various other crowds sacked all the other jaces in the city where arms were ex; for sale, getting about 300 more. At half-past 9 o’clock 1,000 mill bands came over from Birmingham, on the south side, and all well armed,and the different crowds consolidated and marched out to 28th street. At7 o'clock the troops,whose numbers had Swelled to over 4”) men. withdrew into the roundhouse at 28th and Liberty streets, tak- ing with them the two Gatling guns and two other pieces belonging to Breck’s battery. Tke roundhouse is a very solid building, with double walls, the outer one of iron, and the position is the strongest possible one for the troops. The strikers began to assemble rapidly, many arriving with guns procured at ihe Alleghany armory. By midnight 20,000 people were upon the ground, 5,000 of whom were armed men. The tel ph clerks at Superintendent Pitcaian’s office, 26th street, were driven away, and the effice was closed. ONE HUNDRED OIL CARS BURNED. Athalf-past eleven o'clock the alarm of fire was rung, corner of Pennsylvania ave- nue and 28th street. The fire proved to be an oi) train of a hundred ears, every carioad of which was fired by the strikers. It was be- ing pushed down the track by the rioters to- ward the Union depot, where the yard was filled with the freight blocked by the strikers. There were over one thi carsin the yard,loaded. The excitement was intense. FROM SSVENTY-FIVE TO ONE HUNDRED RIOTERS KILLED. A dispatch from Pittspurg, dated this mcrning at 4:30 o'clock, say: The fire on the tracks of the Pennsylvania road extends from 28th street eastward about half a mile.

All of this line of cars is loated with freight owned by Pittsburgers. The soldiers still hold the round-house at 28th street, and will probably do so until the airival of reinforcements in the morning. Since 2o’clock quite a brisk fire has been Kept up between the troops and the mob gathered om 2th and Sanat, A streets.
