With reference to the recent reports of his complicity with Lincoln in a plan for the re.introduction of troop* from tbe Uiiiten States into Texas he pronounced tin*in unmitigated falsehoods, and said that be bad uniformly expressed the opinion that the Federal Government should evacuate the forta and withdraw the tr. op? and all other source* of irritation from the seceded State*.

The News from Baltimore.?Tbe degraph ibis morning, if it reports truly, juvoys exciting news. The lirst blood i tbe revolution Las been spilled in Bab tnore, and it is significant tbat it occur id on tbe anniversary of the battle of exington?the 19th of April. The city f Baltimore is really in a state of civil 'ar?martial law has been proclaimed, Jo has been taken, the railroad tracks . :>rn up, and the horrors of a deadly trife inaugurated ! Thus culminated arlv Black Republicanism, thus follow lie consequences of the fanatical crusade gainst the South that the infamous trn< iiig demagogues of the North have so >ng kept up. Did the creature that dis> races the place once occupied by Washigton, expect bis troops to pass through Southern city and State on their way o a war against the South, and that no pposition to them would be manifested ? 'o what a depth of stupidity has he utik I Innocent blood is already upon he guilty head, and the heads of his adisors and abettors, lie and they are rei ponsible. They have begun the conflict. They have endeavored to coerce soverign States that repudiate their rule with or.tempt and indignation. They order heir myrmidons to march into peaceful States, and when the citizens rise up to ireserve their soil from pollution, those Joodbounds fire upon the people and hoot thetn down at their own hornes, at heir own doors. The lives of Lincoln, Seward, Chft6e, nd their abolition compeers, can never tone for the load of guilt that will lie ipon their souls. Posterity will execrate heir memories. Justice surelv cannot io long in overtaking them. They can iow see their work. It is what section* Jiatn has accomplished. It is what ab? litiodism produces. It is a result worthy f the infernal region8, worthy of the ends of the pit. Will Lincoln and Seraid now pause ? or do they wish to see he whole country wrapped in the lurid lames of an internecine war ? Do they [loat over such prospects ? Are they tark mad ? Or are they monsters in hu1 nan form ? What do they mean ? Does latanic malice animate them ! Do they hirst for blood ? Let them beware. The ace is not to the swift, nor the bnltle ah rays to superiority of numbers. From heir high places they may fail. Ketri>'Jtive justice does not sleep. Its fiery toll even now is preparing ; and swift Hid certain it may descend upon them rhi'e they dream of fancied security, and nock at the woea of a distracted land, Baling already under the awful curse of heir ignotance, their ambition, their des? otism and their guilt.?
