BALTIMORE.
MONDAY, APRIL Is, 1861.

Those of our readers who interpreted the PREsI
DENTS inaugural as we did, will not be surprised
at the tenor of the dispatches published to-day,
which announce call by the Government, upon
the States, for an army of volunteers. Those who,
in common with us, have feared that the North
has been animated by an uncompromising and
aggressive spirit which would prevent it from
making any concession whatsoever TO the South
will not be much astonished to find that q most
determined disposition is now manifested by the
former to make instant and desperate war upon
the latter. Nor can any one be much surprised TO
learn that the Northern regiments, when they do
move, will first march into or through the State
of Maryland 1t has all along been obvious that.
IN case of collision between the hostile parties
the Northern army would be concentrated in and
around Washington; and the announcement in q
New York paper that Maryland is to be held
by the North is only what we had every
reason to expect. When many weeks ago we
insisted upon the necessity of converting
the Legislature, we took occasion to point out in
that connection, the helplessness of our position
We endeavored to show that under pretence n
protecting the Federal Capital, but in reality to
secure this State to the North, troops would be
collected here and in the District of Columbia.
ana ships of war would be stationed in our
waters, and that we would not then be
suffered 10 determine our own destinies We
urged the people to consider these things,
and at least place themselves in n situation
to make their wishes respected where their all was
at stake Our suggestions were unheeded. and
now we are about TO be rudely aroused to the
knowledge of our real situation, by the tramp o.
the approaching squadrons. Whether the people
OF Maryland ought still to preserve the attitude
they have heretofore maintained, it is for them to
say. 1t is our duty TO call their attention to the
events which arc transporting hourly around US.
and which may for veal Or woe so speedily decide
the fate of US and our children. That duty we are
frankly endeavoring 10 discharge to-day.

be the responsibility. We have earnestly advocated
peace seeing In that the only rational means of
settling our.troubes, when passion had subsidized and
canala Judgment had resumed its sway But in
CIVIL war there is little chance for iudp mept or
son, and to what excuses blind fury NAV lead thir
ty millions of people, if unhappily the madness If
the hour is not checked by reflection on this, its
hrst furious impulse. is beyond the power cfhuman
conjecture
1t is proper for US, at this moment, to look as
composedly as we can upon the immediate steps
which have led fellowcitizens to imbrue their hands
in mutual blood, and not to allow ourselves to be
diverted from facts which will be scrutinized and
weighed by the judgment of the world, into side
issues calculated to bewilder and mslead the mind
1t anything is certain, it is that the nation has
peen LED to believe that pacific policy would be
pursued. The original Republican war-cry of
coercion" had been completely abandoned by the
party press. 1t was not supposed that the Admin
istratlon would lose any favorable opportunity to
re-estaolish the authority of the government
where 1t had temporarily yielded to the force of
secesson-but that nothing unnecessarily Irritating
would be attempted,-that it would not strike the
hrst mortal blow,-and that full and fair opportu-
nifty would be allowed for time and natural causes
to work out great problem, beyond the reach of
politicians, and fit only for the highest faculties of
statesmen and patriots. Mr.. Lincoln had expressly
declared that the United States would make no as
saut, unless first assailed. The evacuation of Fort
sumter was held to be certain, therefore,-for why
snould IL De retained as cause of quarrel useless
as 1t was to the government now, and equally use
less as it would be, if ever strongly reinforced
or ever so persistently held?
But suddenly the scene changes. Without appa-
rent reason formidable squadron is despatched
its destination believed to be Charleston the com
mander at Fort Sumter is called upon to evacuate
the fortress, which he refuses to do-and his refusal
is clearly based upon information conveyed to him,
Ihat the squadron is on its way to reinforce him.
Inc policy of the Administration, therefore, is CO.
erclon, after all, and it is in vain to deny or evade
te lact That the South Caroliniaus are first assail
ed by those who approach them for the purpose of
reducing them to submission 1t is useless to ask,
under such circumstances, who fired the first gun
IN assault is made by him who threatens it, by
determination of the Administration, therefore ia

policy. - "'H

One thing is certain. Now that the rebels have
opened the war, the people will expect the govern
ment to defend itself with vgor and determination.
There can be no further talk of pacific policy-of
measures of conciliation-of fears of exasperating
the people of the Southern States. The day for
that has passed The South has chosen agar, and Il

turn our left flank, and tn reach the railroad
leading hence ia the direction Of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his lines, which be
was enabled TO do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for us, as it re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
fanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over q space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy extended his
right. the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel 10 counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours, during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking TO envelope us within its
mighty folds and crush us to death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed.
The moment he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Ewell, on oar ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn mis-
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, LOngstreet and Bnoham, oc-
cHpying the centre of our lines, to Cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately miscarried. The
others were delivered, but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost liSefsily--l

road leading to Centreville, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, On the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed in front of
our entire line, but at a distance ranging
from five to two miles.
At O'Clock our left under Brigadier Cen
erals Evans, Jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 9TH and 9Th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about Is 900, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with
compact column of at least 10000 These
approaching columns encountered each other
at ii o'clock.
Meanwhile, the two batteries in front kept
up their fire upon the wooded bills where they
supposed our centre lay. At a quarter past
II, Johnston and Beauregard gailoped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
cisely at ii o'clock. By halfpast IL, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had th1s far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, and the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dust! When it moved to the right, we
knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left, we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about 2 o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to

except at the loss OF thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that bis orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
1t was late, however, before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, of Florida, for
merly of the United States Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win
chester. They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by an aeci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
(formerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of Johnson's brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, and, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
his way around our flank, aud with his brig
ade struck him ike tbunder-bolt, full in the
face. FiDding he was about to be out-fanked
himself abe sneply gave way after the second
ire Meanwhile. Beauregard rallied the cen
ire and dashed into the very thickest of the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys, with a shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the eaemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finahy in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became perfect
ront, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
OF Fairfax, as if the earth bad been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard
