OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
From our Baltimore Correspondent.
BALTIMORE, Md, June % 1861.

Su't0r aoneer.
have been thinking Of my promise !
made you, of contributing to your col
unns, an occasional letter, from the Mon
umental city. To redeem it, made
commencement last week, but tie slug
gish mails, find from your last issue,
ruled me out, will now begin again.
We live in a constant whirl Of excite |
ment, and with every recurring new day,
we have some new cause, to add new inn
pulse, to the excitement which we nave |
been feeding on for the past two months.
l had hoped for deceney's sake that the
restless spirits which seem to hauat our
city, striving to stir up sedition and treas
on among our people, would cease their
lntreagues and that Baltimore would stand
before the country and the world, to Il
man, true TO the Union. But alas! alas!!
fear that the Devil has got such posses
sion of some of oar citizens, that they will
no! be satisfied until Ft. McHenrv, opens
her batteries upon US, and sends a shower
Of leaden hail upon US. to cool the seces
sion fever, manifestng itself again in our
midst. I begin to believe that George
Franer, spoke the truth, when he deelar
I'd at Frederick, a few years ago in the
more 1cas God cursed city," and it seems
now. almost, as if nothing but Ere wculd
purely it, That she viii catch blaze of
hot shot. if she attempts to breed opsn
treason, no one here doubts, who know,
any thing Of the character Of the man in
command of the Fort.
1 say "1el ter rip" ifit is necessary to
preserve the Union, and to keep untarn-
ished ''the stars a7sos stripe" only. it is a
sad thosght that innocent men, women
and children should suffer for the evil
deeds of few black hearted traitors
Baltimore has large majority of her cit
izens in favor of supporting the Union,
and one Regiment is already mustered
mo the service, and another about ready
to be. These Regiments will be ordered
off to take part in tie great struggle about
70 come off in Virginia; and from a knowl
edge Of the men composing them, they
will do honor TO the old Maryland line,
and vindicate the character of the state
from the foul aspersions cast upon her, %
being identified secretly with the Southern
Rebellion.
It is impossible for you to know The
deep and embittered hate Of al.true Uni or
men against Virginia, on account of tbs
part she is playing in the bloody drama
She more than any other Of the Southern
states, has been the means of adding fue
to the insurrectionary fame, burning with
such intenseness along the border of Ma
son and Dixon's line, and is directly the
cause of all the trouble, at present, agita
Eting the public mind in Maryland. It !!
Fnow pretty well understood that the elec
ion OF Lincoln, was neither tie direct o.
remote cause of this rebell' n; but thai
the defeat Of the Loco foco party, and th'
control the South always had in It's con
ventions,. is the whole front of offence
And the rebels South are loud in tn Ell
curses upon their supposed friends at tn
North, for leading them into the belief
that they would aid them in their strug
gle and that whea the trying nomen
came, they basely forsook them, aho let
them to fight the issue alone. Instead @
cooperating with them by holding OF
from the war. they have for purely seltis
motives and local aggrandlsement' len
their aid to their northern oppressors.-
But we rejoice here, that the North is
unit, and that they with unbroken column
are marching to the rescue OF their bleee
ing country. There is no business don
here at present, VIC look for better time
SO soon as the B. & O. r. X. is agal
open and travel uninterfered with b'
tween its two chief points. More anon
