Baltimore, April 19.?This city was to-day thrown into a fever of excitement, occasioned by the arrival of Northern troopfon their way to Washington, in obe die^o to the call made in Lincoln's late fc?^oercion Proclamation." When the HfSt yjart of the Massachusetts Regiment "and v portion of the New York Seventh jjoj/ment wero being transported through t ?-^streets'of the city from the Philadel ISjjjria depot to the Washington depot, the ?;2brse-cars were riddled with stones and - /missiles of every character. The win? dows of the conveyances were almost 1 completely demolished, but luckily for ' the soldiers no one was injured seriously, 'though many were badly cut, with broken 5>?P555%ncT^THTTsTd with stones. The romaining detachment of the Mas? sachusetts regiment, whilst attempting to march through the city in order to pro? ceed at once to Washington met with a great deal of opposition. All along the route they were hooted at by tho popu? lace, and at the Pratt street bridge they came in contact with a dense crowd of men, who opposed all further progress. Here a fight was commenced, and the as? sault was so vigorously made by the citi? zens that the soldiers fired upon them. On tho part of tho Baltimorcans, pistols ?and stones were plentifuly used, so that many on both sides were killed and woun? ded. Four or five of tho Massachusetts troops wore killed on the spot, and others are badly wounded. The whole city has flown to arms.? . Martial law has been proclaimed, and the Southern mTg-has been raised. The en? tire' city has declared itself for Stale Rights and the South. Wo hoar that Mr. Davis, of the firm of Davis, Payner &co., was am ong the killed. John W. Garret, the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has deter? mined to allow tho passage of no more troops over tho line. Other railroads Jiave come to the same understanding. Army and Navy News.?It is stated that Major Anderson will be tried by a court of inquiry (not a court-martial) in ti few weeks. This does not imply a suspi? cion of his honor, but is merely a milita? ry rulo. If the court deem his case one for a court-martial, ho will then be ar? raigned before it. It is said, too, that all the commanding officers of tho fleet rc orted. to have been off Charleston will be rought before a court of inquiry. The New, York/^grm says that over -^?glrtoetl ^fftcY'^^^^y^i^iXTs will re? sign this week. Four at New York are certain to throw up their commissions. "The result will be necessarily the rapid promotion of juniors and the consigning of frigates to the care of lieutenants com? manding.

There is a rumor that Comodovc Pen "?> dergast's being superseded in command of the home squadron had more to do with bis Kentucky birth than with the leaky condition of his flag-ship.

All Communications relating to the " In? telligencer " will, until further notice, he directed to the undersigned, as he has charge of all the depart-^ mcnts of the office. J. P. HOYT, Short Comings. TTc were so utterly bewildered last week by the various scenes surrounding us, that we omitted al logathcr any mention of the departure of tlie -ItV Regiment for the scat of war. We arc sorry for this, but as ire never could cry for spilled nwlk, we must content oursclf with what we give tfis week, ou tlie score of lietter Into tlinn never. Departuro of tho 4th Eegt. S. C Volunteers." The 4th Regiment S. C. V. received their orders to move toward the scat of war on Saturday the 10th insf., and were prepared to obey ot Sunday and Monday following, but owing to a vant of cars on this end of the Rail-road, they coul< not do so until Monday pr Tuesday. Wc were glai to see, that. likcj all the troops wo have sccn^iovc^jhcy w?Rt*oif'in as cheerful m<?idji_^J^fru"s possibb to assune, leav? ing nnJTry (v-^rffllcart behind then. They are still in Columbia awaiting further orders, and arc well taken care of by the inhabitants of that fair City, who,?as we well know?never do ihings bv halves. They battle for us-wo mu3t support their families. We understand that many of the -Ith lieg. S. C. V., who have gone to %Li ihe battles of nur -?im. try, have left llieir families in such circumstances as will soon exhibit Buffering, if indeed such is not to sonic extent already the case. This should not l(p allowed, by those who have the means to prevent it. Many families can with a little assis? tance be placed so as to help themselves, while others must be positively helped by their neighbors and friends. Look to it friends, it is a duty we owe to them, and should no^ be neglected. Other parts of the Slate arc looking to this matter, and so must we. James Gordon Sennet. Tlic surly, venal old scotch curmudgeon of the Ncw*York Herald, lina again found :i purcboscr for die balance of his life-long iuiqnity in the person of Abraham Lincoln. To suppose that he had gone over to tho enemy, body and soul, as he now appears to have done, without the price being paid, and thni too in hard cash, is a greater absurdity than a com? mon mind is capable of .comprehending. Wc now know where lo find him, which was not the case when he pretended to be for us. He was then at work without a bonus, and wc knew he would de? sert us the moment one was offered. The price must have been a good one. for he is howling with all his strength, as tho' ho was trying to redeem the time that bad been lost to tlie old government. Well, for one wc say let him go. The devil has had a mortgage upon him for the last thirty years, and will soon foreclose it,when the world will then be well rid cd'a man, whose whole life has been a base libel upon human nature. lie never knew a friend but whom he would sell for money: and nev? er espoused a cause, but what he could be hired to abandon. Yirlue never had a lodgement within his j nature: and vice in its most hideous deformity, was his greatest marketable commodity. We have just as good an opinion of James Goidon Dennett to day, as wc ever have had since our first knowledge of him, more than thirty years ago. -. ,? ? Virginia. Wc have been looking fur wevks, nay months, with much anxiety upon the course of Virginia. Wc had no doubts about her ultimate destination, but we had fears that she would djlny loo long (lie necessary action for her own honor and the wel? fare of the South. She has at last spoken. She lias at last told the devil-begot, sin-conceived, hcll hatched, God-forsaken horde thai controls and be? sets the government at Washington, " thus far shall thou go, and no farther." Wo Lave always been of the opinion that if Virginia had acted promptly with the cotton Slates in the outset, she could have so controlled mailers as to prevent even the appearance of war, but wc shall not reproach her, for wc well know what she has first had to overcome at home. Nobly have her patriotic sons battled for her honor and her rights, and nobly will they now be repaid. For near twenty years old Virginia was our adopted mother, her soil was the home of all wc held most dear, our blood slept the sleep of death beneath her sods, the children of our younger years were burn within her borders, and all the associations of early manhood were clustered around her hearth-stone, and though we claim to be as much of a citizen of South Carolina as any man born upon her territory, yet wc could not help recuring to, and feeling for the position and action of Virginia. She is with us al lost, and with her decision, and final action upon the secession question, the last hopes of reconstructing the rotlcu old hulk that has just tumbled to pieces must certainly be abandoned. Wc shall indulge in no speculations, prophecies or advice as lo her future course, for well do wc know that her sons will now promptly redeem what they have lost by delay. Her old veteran, j and young hero at Charleston can now go homo, and without shame or dishonor, embrace, honor cherish their good old mother in the hour of trial, and shout witll her in the day of victory. Go back now friend Itufiin, and show our good old Slate that you can give her the same patriotic ex? amples that you have exhibited to us in Charles? ton. Go back now Col. Pry or, for your voice and influence can now be potent for good, and may the God of battles go with you, and sustain you and all Virginia's sons, in the arduous task of teaching lessons of good manners and common sense, to the rail-splitting buffoon and his- trucu? lent mymidona at Washington City. Three cheers for old Virginia, and give them with a will boys. -t> Unaccountable.?Nothing could more strongly illustrate the madness which rules the hour than the fact that a considerable number of the citizens of Washington, some of them holders of real pro? perty arc rabid secessionists.? Washington Star. If the above holders of real property have made it honestly, they arc the very men that we should expect to find in the ranks of secessionists. Their intelligence accounts for it.

C, \ April 20, 1861. / Dear Inlellijcnccr: It is with pleasure that I be? gin another It tter*to the numerous readers of our paper, satisfied that the friends of the gallant vol? unteers from the mountain region will be delighted ,'to hear from them through the medium of a public journal. It is impossible for me to note all the items of interest transpiring in barracks, and nei? ther am I able to say much for other companies than that to which I belong. Although the re? mainder of tiic volunteers are quartered hard by, it is difficult to obtain permits for any considerable length of time, and then otic is prompted to visit the city and see the sights. In the Riflemen, there has been little sickness so far, with the exception of such cases as natur? ally arise from change of climate, water, &c. These have been limited in number and of short duration. The other companies, so far as known to me, arc enjoying their lime and good health. All arc in tine spirits, lively, jubilant, and dis? posed to make most of camp life. The Riflemen amuse themselves, in the most sat "islaeTory mtrm^._Ulil'"g the intervals between I drills, the violin?that never-Tailing accompani? ment of soldiers?is made to while away the tedi? um of inactive camp life. Sonic musical individ? uals have organized a -'Glee Club," and industri? ously send forth dulcet strains cf vocal music, which are highly appreciated by those less gifted in thai respect. Last evening the "Club" were in front of the barracks, joining with each other in m i u at Tavvme DtiltaUs, such" as M Carolina Forev? er,'" when the windows overhead suddenly opened, and Dr. ('"Council, the Catholic priest, to whom the building belongs, returned his thanks in an eloquent manner for the complimentary serenade! I was not present, and leave a description to Lieu? tenant W. W. II., who lias promised to send a re? port of the evening's entertainment to the Intelli? gencer. It is proper to say that Dr. O'Connell kindly offered a commodious room for our accom? modation, and thus afforded us comfortable quar tors' in an eligible section of the city. Our camp has, therefore, been designated in honor of that gentleman, who evidences the utmost liberality and ; hospitality towards us. His generosity awakens : the liveliest thanks in the breast of every Rifleman. We arc likewise indebted to several ladies and j citizens of Columbia for appreciative attentions. Among these we remember with grateful feelings Mrs. Rauskctt, Mrs. O'Neal, airs. Xicrnsce. Mrs. C. P. Pelham and Mrs. Gen. Jones; also. Peter I>. (Mass, Esq.* and our friends of the Carolinian of? fice, who have favored-us with papers each day. Those friends from Anderson, who have been in the city, have not forgotten their boys, either; ami our especial thanks are duo Mr. .1. <'. Keys for edi? bles, lie. as also t<> Mr. 11. M. Owings, of Flam burgh. Another instance of hospitality deserve: mention. A day or two since, while parading through some of the principal streets, we passet! i lie famous and enchaining gardens known as : "Hampton's Gardens;" the Indies, who were in the piasxn, perceiving the company, had the gate thrown open, thus extending au invitation to march (.'.trough these beautiful walks so much ad? mired by all who have ever visited t!io garden. The invitation was gladly accepted, and "file right " was instantly uttered by our gallant Cap? tain, which brought us up in front of the palatial edifice where, reside.-, we believe, the Hon. .John iL Pkemon, the eloquent orator and accomplished Autlcii an. The Palmettos were wide awake in observing all that may be seen in the garden, and after spending a half hour most pleasantly among lloral beauties, quietly returned to the street and resinned their march to quarters; not, however, without returning their thanks through (he Cap? tain for the courtesy. The officers of the Regiment are iudustrioualy eng.iged in providing for the welfare, comfort and health of the soldiers. Our new Col. .1. I?. E. Sloan, of Pcndleton, is a courteous gentleman and efficient officer, and very popular with his com- ! I maud. His promotion is generally hailed with | satisfaction. Capt. WitiTXEit, of the Riilcmcn, is another deserving of all praise for his efficiency and kind demeanor to those under his guidance. I His qualifications as au officer are unquestioned I ami superior. \\bile his gentlemanly bearing to I wards the men wins their warmest affections. True, there are duties to bo performed by com? manding officers altogether unpleasant, and not calculated to lend lustre to one's popularity: but these duties are performed by our Captain in such a manner as to render him acceptable to all dis? posed to acquiesce in military discipline and be subject to reasonable orders. The other officers arc likewise much respected and meet with de? served popularity. There is nothing else of especial interest not to be found in the city newspapers, from which the pro ('-in. will doubtless glean all items worthy of insertion. 1 will write again in time for next week's issue. ?'.
