war. Its passage through Baltimore, a city of two hundred thousand inhabitants, more than half of whom were rebels; the attack upon it by the mob; the death of four, and the wounding of thirty-six, of its members, on the memorable 19th of April,—sent a thrill through the heart of the nation, and aroused it like a giant to defend its life. This was the anniversary of the battle of Lexington, in which, on the soil of Massachusetts, the first blood was shed in the struggle for Independence in 1775. This regiment came from the county of Middlesex, in which are Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill; and some of the men who were attacked in Baltimore were the direct descendants of the men who breasted the power of England in those memorable conflicts. At midnight on the 18th, reports reached Philadelphia, that preparations were being made to dispute the passage of this regiment through Baltimore, and to attack Washington. The long roll was beat; and the men formed in column, and marche

Beneath the branches of the tree, Washington first took command of the American army, in 1775, which was drawn up in line on the Common in front.

Among thg extracts from letters received by the Adjutant-General show in part the patriotic feeling which inspired the people:— April 15.—Charles Bowers, of Concord, writes, Believing most fervently in the doctrine vindicated at the Old North Bridge in 1775, that resistance to tyrants is obedience to God, in this hour of our country's peril I offer my poor services in her defence. If you can assign me to any position, however humble, where I can do any thing for freedom and the right, I will hasten

fore our eyes in the villages and towns of our dear old Commonwealth. Henceforth be silent, ye cavillers at New-England thrift, economy, and peaceful toil! Henceforth let no one dare accuse our Northern sky, our icy winters, or our granite hills! Oh, what a glorious morning! was the exulting cry of Samuel Adams, as he, excluded from royal grace, heard the sharp musketry, which, on the dawn of the 19th of April, 1775, announced the beginning of the war of Independence. The yeomanry who in 1775, on Lexington Common, and on the banks of Concord River first made that day immortal in our annals, have found their lineal representatives in the historic regiment, which, on the 19th of April, 1861, in the streets of Baltimore, baptized our flag anew in heroic blood, when Massachusetts marched once more in the sacred cause of liberty and the rights of mankind. Before passing from the consideration of this remarkable address, we would refer to the following paragraph, which illustrates
