A number Of retidents Of Virginia have passed

All who come from as far south as Richmond, could
get out of the State only by special permit from Gov.
Letcher Their statements show that reign Of terror
exists in the interior Of Virginia. The mob every.

may fancy; farmers are stopped on the road, their
horses taken from them under the plea that they are
for the defense Of the South graneres ere searched
and everything convertible for food for either man
or beast carried of.
This has been carried to such an extent that along
the northern border Of Virginia reaction is taking
place, aud instructions being sent from Western
Maryland to the Delegates at Annapolis that if they
vote for secemion the people will hang them on their
return home. The news Of the unanimous sentiment
of the North, the prompt and decisive action on the
part Of the State Governments in enlisting men, has
strengthened the Union men Of Western Maryland and
the border counties Of Virginia.
number have found their way here, and joined
the Federal army to fight against Jefferson Davss
troops.
The Mayor Of Hagerstown was here this morning,
and states that the Stars and Stripes were this morning

Saturday Morning, April %, 1861.
Baltimore is apparently quiet But it would be a
great mistake to suppose that the secession fever that
seized so suddenly upon large portion of her people
bad altogether died away. II is still raging with all
its Juror among the dominant elements Of her popua
ton. The brutal and barbarous demonstration of ts
virulence on the 18th inst will surely be repeated,
should like occasion offer. II is true several Union
Gags made their appearance in various parts of the city

&c TO the nature Of the sympahies Of those that have
always political desines of Baltimore. They
want her TO join the fortunes Of the South, and will
stretch every nerve and run every risk to accomplish
tie traitorous purposes I have had occasion TO be-
come familiar with the feelings Of the rural population
Of Maryland during the last week Like the people Of
the slaveholding States further South, it has been
infused by incendiary press with frghtfu concep-
,ons Of the nents Of the Republicans al present to be
invasion and devastation Of the Slave States, and the
abolition Of Slavery by force Of arms. Hence the Be-
eession pestilence finds easy and numerous victims.
sm firmly convinced, and with me many Of the most
intelligent Union Of the State that Maryland will
link her fortunes with those of Virginia The result Of
the deliberations of her Legislature will doubtless
prove this belief TO be well grounded within the next
ten days.
Baltimore is already paying the penalty Of her
wickedness. Business is at an absolute stand-stll,
money is hourly growing scarce and provisions are
steadily advancing in price, The proposition to create
scircusting medium, in the shape Of municipal notes
Of small denomination, is symptom Of an impending
collapse. Shouldthe secession folly be realized, Bal
tnore 10 doomed TO eternal ruin.
There is general widespread belief in secession
circles that the guns Of Fort Mcenry will never be
osed against Baltimore. Many allusions to recent
understanding between s late commander and certain
members of the garrison aiming at its betrayal into
the hands of the traitors, have reached my ear. 1
trust there are no facts TO warrant them.

PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM EX-SPEAKER
LUDLOW.


We find in The Sag Hartor Correcso- letter from
the Hon. VIM. II. ludlow, formerly Speaker Of the
New-York Assembly, and a leading Democrat He
says
The war " hose coming have long feared, and have

succeeded in grinding up between them the conserva-
tive element of the country. The infamous attack on

States and through the action Of Virginia thus &C.

has fallen into the snare. The Seceders have always
intended to possess themselves Of the city Of Washing
ton aud of the archives Of the Government and thus
have the prestige Of being the United States.
They could not do this without the cooperation OF
Virginia and Maryland. But for the frmness OF Gov.
Hicks in refusing to convene the Legislature Of that
city Of Gen. Scott this seizure Of Washington would
have been made before the Inauguration Ihe secedes

The Nem- Orleans True Delta of Saturday, contains
the following account OF the seizure Of the steamer
Star Of the West, which has already been announced
by telegraph:
The expedition, composed Of about ~ men, under
command Of Col. Van Dorm, was hurredly organized In
Galveston, and was made up of men from the Calves
ton Artillery and the Island City Rifles the Guards are
Irish, and the Rifles are German company. Inc
party arrived at Indianola Wednesday and kept all
ready apparently in manner interested III the actve
preparations going for the debarkaion OF the United
States soldiers which was effected by the aid OF toe
steamship Fashion, acting as lighter to remove the
men to the Star Of the West, which lay outside.
About hllf-past o'clock at night Col. Van Dorm
and Lis band quietly got on board the Gen. Rusk,
and made ont TO the Star of the West.
When the Rusk got within hai!ipg distance The
captain OF the United States vessel sang out to know
who was approaching. Van Dom replied:
"The General Rusk, with troops Oh board"
The answer was correct to the letter, ana very
readily impressed the Captain of the Star o the We:
that he was about taking board bis own men. iiis
blissful ignorance of bis visitors idcniy and designs
was not suffered to remain long.
The vessels were made fast, without any Suspicion
on eide Any demonstration on the other. Ihen
swift as tie lightning, tho Texan band was over tne
bulwarks and in virtual possession Of the vessel. NO
effort made at resistance, for 1t would have Deeh

were the commander "gaye up the ship with the
best grace he could muster.
The vessel was put about for Galveston, and leit
Col. Van Dorm there. :.

Our attention is called to statements which appear In
the two Republican papers published in Trenton, New.
jersey From this it is conclusive that Capt. Yards
resignation was accepted before the war began, and
that Immediately after the enemy struck the FIRST blow
he applied for revocation Of the acceptance Of his
resignation and now stands ready to serve bis country.
This is sufficient vindication Of his loyalty, which
