THE DEATH OF MIR. LEONARD.

Correspondence OF The N. Y. Tribune.
RELAY HOUSE, May 1861.
Our camp has had gloom cast over it by having one
Of our men removed from midst by death. This
morning about o'clock, we heard the report OF &
musket and soon the spread that man had been
shot, fastened to the spot, and there lay the man
stretched upon the ground with the blood gushing out
of bis mouth. His name was Charles Leonard; his
residence was No. 266 Avenue b, Hew-York City.
He was a member of Company G., Capt William 5.
Carr. II seems that the Captain, but two minutes
previous had given orders to his men to stack thoae
pieces that were loaded i'll order that accident might
occur Instead Of obeying this order whether not un
derstanding it or not we do not know. Mr.. Leonard
ATTEMPTED TO draw the charge from his mnsket by
means OF a screw attached to the rammer, and In 30
doing the powder exploded, and the ball was dis
charged entering directly under the maxlllary bone
on the left side of the face, shaterng the bone, and
lacerating the blood vessels. The ball took an
obauely downward and backward course, crushing
the third and fourth cervca yert5a and severing the
spinal cord causing almost instant death. His funeral
will take place this afternoon and his remains will be
placed in the private burying ground Of Mr. John
Bunker who has kindly offered the use OF IL AS tenn
porary burying place. 1t is probable that they will be
disinterred aud carried 10 New-York.
This il the fret death that has occurred in our midst
since we left New-York and our men naturally feel
that it comes very home, 10 see oomrade sud
denly struck down by DEATH although the result OF
pure accident, must naturally make them think how
uncertain life is and that have no lease OF our lives
have lust been informed that Mr.. Leonard was form
erly member Of Engine Co., No. IL. TBS.

BALTIMORE, Thursday, May 3, 1851.
The Legislature did nothing important to-day. The
Committee on Federal Relations made a long report.

pugnant 10 civilization and sound policy, aud subver

powers Of the General Government and to join, az one
man. in fighting it's authorized battles, do reverence,
nevertheless, the great American principle OF seli'
government and sympathize deeply with her Southern
brethren in a noble and manly determination TO defend
the same.
The resolution protests against the war upon the
Confederate States, and announces resolute deter
minaon to have no part lot directly or indirectly
in its prosecution Maryland earnestly desires resto-
ration Of peace and mpores the President to acceptthe
olive branch held out by the Confederate States whose
President has over and again declared that they
seek only sefdefense and be- let alone that Mary
land desires peaceful recognition Of the independence
of the Confederate States and hereby gives her cordial
assent thereto AZ member Of the Union that the pres
ent military occupation Of Maryland for said purpose Is
fragrant and in violation Of the Constitution and the
State and hereby protests against the same, at the
same time calling on all good citizens to abstain from
all yoen, and unlawful interference Of every sort with
the troops in transit through territory or quartered
among Us.
The last resolution says, under existing circnm'
stances it is inexpedient TO call Sovereign Conven-
