RIOT IN BALTIMoRE.-BlOod was spilled on
Friday in the streets OF Baltimore-the frst
blood of the real struggle between Secession
and Union; and, as in the Revolution. Massa-
chusetts blood has been the Grst to aow. The
Pennsylvania and the Massac husetts volunteers
reached there at about the same time; and, on
attempting to pass through to the Washington
depot, were opposed by mob, armed with guns
and paving stones. The struggle appears to
have been most desperate one, the police,
headed by the Mayor, being apparently utterly
pOwerless to aid inc passage of tie troops =
, T!ne Pennsylva anans were unprepared for any
such demonstrations, but eventually succeeded
in crossing the city but the Massachusetts,
men were opposed with such ferceness that
they were obliged in selfdefence to fire upon
the mob, and killed and wounded q number o:
them,-not, however, before the mob had fred
upon them, and killed three of their number.
They then forced their way through, reached
the depot, and left for Washington amid a vol.
ley of firearms and paving. stones. The mill.
tary were under arms, and the police were out
in full force. A large Union mass meeting
was held that night, at which the Mayor made
speech, aud at which Gov. Hicks was also
present.

A New. Route.

Since the burning of the bridges on the rail-
road to Baltimore, number of persons have
availed themselves of the daily line of steam
ers from Baltimore 10 Chestertown, thence by
private conveyance or the mail stage TO the
cars at our depot. On both Monday and Tues
day between two and three hundred persons
came over in this way, the most of whom were
anxious to arrive at this place in order to take
the cars, but conveyance could not be found
for more than forty or fifty of them at time.
Some stopped al Millington, some at the De-
pot, while large number took lodgings at quite
late hour at the Smyrna and Delaware House
and left in the early train next morning. The
boat. however, on Tuesday made her last trip
the authorities of Baltimore having given or
dcrs that all communications between tina,
city and the Eastern Shore were TO close on
that day until further orders. With the ex.
ception of the boat that comes to Chestertowu
on Friday. to convey the delegates to the Leg
islature, there will be no means for persons
temporarily travelling in the South 10 reacl

From Norfolk, Richmond and Charles.

We learn from gentleman just from Nor
folk via Chestertewp. that the government
has senttled aud fred all the ships and ship
houses, with the exception of the Cumberland,
which WIS towed out by the Pawnee and Yam
kee Blade, at the Gosport Navy Yard, to keep
them from falling into the hands IF the Seces-
sionists for the use of the Southern COnfeder-
acy. The number destroyed amounted to
eight or nine. The citizens seized 5000 kegs
of powder at the magazine. Our informant
says they are all for secession in Norfolk; a
man dare not breathe Union. Provisions have
already doubled in price, and the brokers
would not discount even Virginia money, just
from the bank. at any price.
Richmond. gentleman just from there, on
his way from Mississippi, informs US, is in a
high state. Of excitement; in fact he found the
excitement much more intense in Virginia and
Maryland than farther South. Davis and
Stephens, as well as Gen. Beauregard, are in
Virginia. preparing, it is generally understood
there, to make descent upon Washington,
which our informant says is inevitable, and
will be attempted in less than two weeks.
We conversed with several gentlemen who
left Charleston Saturday night The city
was comparatively quiet, and the inhabitants
feel that the fighting has been removed from
their locality to the Border States. They arc a
unit for the Southern Confederacy, and deter
mined to conquer or die. All have become
soldiers and wear regimentals. even down to
the age of ten or twelve. Women, whO never
before turned their hand to anything, are now
working day and night, in the preparation Of
soldiers equipage. 1t was understood in
Charleston when they left that 1000 troops
would leave the next day for Richmond.
Every Federal post in Nerth Carolina ha'
been taken by the citizens. At Fayetteville
Arsenal, 10000 stands of arms were captured
including $4,000 of the most improved pat
terms.
