Union feeling in Baltimore.

Baltimore, April 15.
--The Union feeling is strong this morning. The Minute Men, an organization 2,500 strong, who have been drilling ever since the Presidential election as a military organization, threw out the Stars and Stripes this morning from their headquarters, with the motto, "The Union and the Constitution."

An excited crowd assembled before a printing office, corner 4th and Chestnut streets, where the "Palmetto Flag," a small advertising paper, was published, and threatened to demolish it, whereupon the proprietor displayed the American flag, and threw the objectionable papers from the windows; also, the "Stars and Stripes," another paper printed in the same office, restoring the crowd to good humor. The police were present.

[The above dispatch is dated Baltimore.--We think it should be Philadelphia.]
