the President of the Monument Square meeting, and others, counseled resistance to any Northern or Western troops who might attempt to pass through the city. There was much feverishness in the public mind in Baltimore on the morning of the 19th of April. Groups of excited men were seen on the corners of streets, and at the places of public resort. Well-known secessionists were hurrying to and fro with unusual agility; and in front of the store of Charles M. Jackson, on Pratt Street, near Gay, where lay the only railway from Philadelphia to Washington, through Baltimore, a large quantity of the round pavement stones had been taken up during the night and piled in a heap; and near them was a cart-load of gravel, giving the impression that repairs of the street were about to be made. Intelligence came at an early hour of the evacuation and destruction of the public property at Harper's Ferry, on the previous evening. The secessionists were exasperated and the Unionists were jubi

Searching coffins and Churches. --The Baltimore Sun contains the following item in it local column: The search of premises in this city by the Federal police continues, but for several days past no seizures of arms have been made. On Wednesday afternoon the coffin warehouse of Mr. John H. Weaver, on Fayette street, near Gay, was visited, and the whole establishment thoroughly searched. Several hundred coffins and metallic burial cases were opened in all parts of the building, but without any successful result. The search occupied several hours.

They were apparently aimed at the cotton-bale battery on Gay street. The missiles, as they came whizzing into town, caused considerable panic, and for a few moments the impression prevailed among the citizens that the grand shelling had begun.--The Gay street battery, as well as two other to the right and left, replied rapidly, their reports shaking the town. Spectators went scurrying for shelter to the neighboring buildings; teams skedaddled up Gay street, and citizens took to their cellars for protection. For some cause the rebel batteries ceased firing, probably from a fear of blurting somebody in the town — ours followed suit — and there was a great calm.
