ilding and spoke jeeringly of Col. Kane and the city authorities. This exasperated the crowd who had gathered there, and had it not been for the presence of a number of policemen, who protected Manly, he would have been severely dealt with. The crowd cheered for Col. Kane and Jefferson Davis, and for some time it was feared that there would be a serious outbreak. Through the efforts of the police the people were in a great measure dispersed. Still, however, the sidewalks from Calvert to Holliday streets were thronged with an excited multitude, discussing the events of the morning. The Exchange remarks, editorially-- The people of Maryland have at last been compelled to drain to its bitter dregs the cup of humiliation which conquerors ever press to the lips of a subjugated people. Their State was once the very sanctuary of freedom — and now! her liberties are prostrate in the dust; her rights are overthrown; and her citizens hold property and life at the sufferance of the

they had whipped the Confederates at 3 o'clock P. M., and so telegraphed to Gen. Scott, who was at Centreville. This was sent to Washington, and thence telegraphed North. From Fortress Monroe. The following is from the Baltimore papers of Monday last: The steamer Georgiana, Capt. Pierson, arrived on Saturday morning from Old Point Comfort, with a number of passengers. She brought intelligence that Dr. T. E. Rawillegs, correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser; Captain Holliday, Capt. Edward Jenkins, Lieut. Small and private Small, of the Naval Brigade, and R. Shurtliff, left Hampton on Friday morning about 1 o'clock, on a scouting expedition.

inia regiment was thrown upon a hill east of the east fork of the creek, and Colonel Williams's Kentucky regiment occupied a higher hill, to the right of Moore's regiment. After waiting patiently for an hour, the enemy were seen advancing up the valley of the creek, and scattering themselves upon a range of hills opposite our position. About 1 o'clock P. M. a small party of cavalry showed themselves immediately in front of the artillery, apparently reconnoitering our position. Capt. Holliday's company of Kentucky cavalry opened fire upon them, and then fell back, when a shell was thrown into their midst from one of our guns. The enemy immediately fell back--three saddles being empty. This may be regarded as the opening of the fight — the firing before having been confined to the pickets. The engagement soon became general along our whole line, the enemy seeking to dislodge us from our position on the hills. It would be unjust to them to say that they did not fight well.
