As I neared the city of Baltimore the opposition to the government and the sympathy with secession was manifestly more intense. At Magnolia, particularly left at this place, with instructions similar to those which had been given to the others. I then proceeded on to Baltimore, and there I found the greatest amount of excitement that I had yet experienced.
