Hero nu ?inmenso crowi lind collected, nnd it was palpably manifes that it was very far from their object to ten der the troops an ovation. The nrrangemen of the railroad officials were to pass thirty ?on cars occupied by thc volunteers, from th point above mentioned to the Camden stntioi of thc Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, over th track-laid down between the two depots oi Prntt-stroct. lu accordance with theso arrangements, th oars wera despatched ono after unothcr, dru wi by horse*, and upon thc arrival of the firs car nt thc intersection of (?ny and Prat streets, nu enormous crowd having collecte lhere, unmistakable demonstrations wer made tlpit nn effort would bo put forth to sto tho enffl nt that point. Here, too, repairs t: thc road were progressing, nnd n goodly nun ber of paving stones lying about in piles wore speedily takon possession of by the o> cited crowd, nnd subsequently used for pm poses of assault. HAU RI CA DINO THE TRACK. ?Six of thc cars had succeceded in pnssin on their way before thc crowd wore able t accomplish their purposes of barricading th c. truck, which they now began to effect by pl?

Some seven c eight, were borno hythe orowd and laid o m the truok, and thus the passage of thc cai r?, WOi-?i ofloctuallyinterrupted. * TROOPS RESOLVE TO RR A VE THE STORM.

After considerable delay it was determined to mnkc thc attempt to march thc remaining troops through the city, only about sixty of whom were supplied with arms. The re mainder were recruits and occupied second class and baggage cars. At tho head of this column, on foot, May or Brown placed himself, and walked in front, exerting oil his influence to preserve peace. THE HIHKL1NGS G11EETK? WITH A VOLLEY Ol' ?STONES. Just before the movement was mado from the ears a largo crowd of persons went down President-street with a Southo n flag, and met the troops ns they emerged from thc cars. Thc Southern flag was then carried in front of the column, nnd hooting and yelling be gan, and ns soon as tho troops turned out of Canton avenue, they were greeted with a vol ley of stones! At thc corner of Fawn street two of thc soldiers were struck with stones and knocked down j one of them was taken by thc police to thc drug store of T. J.

At Pratt-strcot bridge a gili was fired, said by tho policeman No. 71 t< have been fired from the ranks of the sol d i ors. Then tho crowd pressed tho stronger, un til thc body reached tho corner of Cay-strcel where the troops presented arms nnd fired. Several persons fell on the first round, hut thc crowd became furious. A number of rc volvors were used, and their shots took cfl'oc in thc ranks. People ihen ran in every direction in scare] of anns, but thc armories of the militar companies of thc city were closely guarded and none could bc obtained.

TERRIFIC! ASSAl.'T.T UPON THE HIRELINGS TH KV UV'N FOU TH Kl U T.I Y KS. From Cay to South-street, on Pratt, the fight with thc soldiers who marched, or rath er ran through town, was terrific. Large pa ving stones were hurled into the ranks from every direction; thc negroes who were about tho wharf, in many instances, joining in thc assault. At Cay-strcet the soldiers fired a number of shots, though without hitting any one, so far as could be ascertained. After firing this volley the soldiers again broke into a run, but another shower of stones being hurled into thc ranks at Commerce-street with such force as to knock several of them down, the order was given to another portion of thom to halt and lire, which had to bo re peated before they could be brought to a halt. They then wheeled and fired some twenty shots, but from their stooping and dodging to avoid the stones, but four or five shots took effect, thc marks of a greater portion of theil balls being visible on the walls of thc adja cent warehouses, even up to thc second sto rics. Here four citizens fell, two of whom died in a few moments, and the other twe , were carried off, supposed to be mortally wounded. As soon as they had fired at this point, thc miserable poltroons again wheeled and gave leg bail, %non some three or four parties ?3 sued from the warehouses there and fired tnt? them, which brought down three more sold ?ors, one of whom was carried into the sann store with the one above alluded to, and diet in a few moments. Thc others succeeded ii regaining their feet, and proceeded on witl their comrades, thc whole running ns fast, a: they could, nnd n running fire was kept up Iv the soldier*' from this point to the. depot, tin crowd continuing to hui! stones into tho rank throughout the whole line of march.

As enc of the mercenaries who fired at Com merco street discharged his gun, he was strucl I with a ste no and knocked down, and as he at tempted to rise another stone struck him ii the face, when he crawled into a store nm prostrating himself on thc floor, clasped hi hands and begged piteously for his life, snyim that he waa Ihrcuti.ucd with instant death b his officers if ho rel used to accompany them Ile said one-half of them had been forced t come in thc same manner, and he hoped a! who forced others to come might lie killed bc fore they got through thc city. Ile plead s hard that no further vengeance was beslowc upon him, and he was taken to tin: police st;i tion to have his wounds dressed. THOUSANDS OATH KR ED AT THE CAMDEN &V? TION.

Tho throngs gradually mu mon ted until about 10 i o'clock, when a hug body of police appeared, and the mass toed; : for granted that the troops were coming.

We presume that being an Engineer ofl'.ccr these barricades were constructed under his imme diate supervision. Sand-bag barricades-thc best in the world -have been prepared to bo. used on thc steps of thc Department porticos should that be necessary.
