The RattIe,s Importance.

The Battle Of tho Forts is Of much Importance
In several points Of view. 1t will partially open
the eyes Of mankind to the ability Of Southern
troops to defend their shores ut short notice 1t
serves to clear away the mist which has prevented
our immediate enemies, the abulitorisss from re-
coguizng the ruth,-!hat Southern chivalry is a
stern reulty when eIerted in behalf Of Southern
institutions. 1t gives the soldiers of the South
the morale of successful 6rst engagement. But,
more than al, it has educated some thousand or
two Of artlerists for our cause. That thirty hours
cannonadng has made veterans of those who nc-
lively participated in it. That battle, superadded
to tho drill Of the few preceding months, has
created fit material for offering forty corps Of
artillery. Who can estimate ita Importance in
this light, if the war IL to become general.

in tha. city. We had the pleasure Of attending
one of them last week, not however nI dead

remark that tho boys did credit to our old friend
Hu1r, and that the ladies, who assisted, enacted
their roles very gracefully. She who Hang in the
soprano and tenor duo was the "brisht particu-
lar" Of tho evening.
It lie quite pleasant to see . community encoura-

is it not probable that in little time the war will

it not to be expected, that there will be the post

Charleston Intelligence.

From the Mercury Of Thursday last, we
gather as follows:
William II. Russell, the cor

BALTIMORE, April l9.-This city was to-
day thown into perfect fever heat of excite
ment, occasioned by the arrival of Northern
troops on the way TO Washington in obcdi-
ence to the call made in Lincolns " coercion
proclamation" When the first part Of the
Massachusetts Regiment was hcins transport
ed through the streets Of the city from the
Philadelphia depot to the Washington depot
tie horSe-cars were riddled with stones and
missiveS of every character. The windows of
the conveyanceS were almost completely de-
molished, but, luckily for the soldiers no one
was injured seriously, though many were bad
ly cut with broken glass and bruised with the
stones.
The remaining detachment of the regiment,
whilst attempting to march through the city,
In order to arrive at the depot and proceed at
once to Washington, met with y great deal of
opposition. All along the route they We're
hooted at by the populace aud at the Pratt
street Bridge they came i'll contact with 4
dense crowd Of reckless men, who opposed
all further progress. Here fight was COM
mcnced, and the assault was so vigorously
made by the citizens that the Massachusetts
soldiers fired upon them. On the part of the
Baltimoreans pistols and stone were plentiful
ly Used: 50 that many on both sides were
killed aud wounded, but it was impossible to
learn the names Of any of the parties.
Four or five of the Massachusetts troops
were killed on the spot, and others are badly
wounded. Several dead bodies are now being
hauled through the streets. The excitement
is most intense. The whole city has flown to
arms. Martial law has been proclaimed, and
the Southern flag has been raised. The en-
tire city has declared itself for States Rights
and for the South.
Private sIviccs estimate the loss in killed
and wounded ut about one hundred and thir.

TO the people IF The city If Mel0 York:
AsChief Magistrate, representing the whole
people, feel compelled at this crisis to call
upon them to avoid excitement and turbu-
lencc. Whatever may be, or may have been,
individual positions or opinions on question,
Of public policy, let US remember that gu
country now trcmbles upon the brink Of q
precipice, and that it requires a patriotic and
honest effort to prevent its final destruction.
Let Us ignore the past, rising superior to par.
tizan considerations, and rally to tue restora-
ton of the Constitution and the Union, as
they existed in the days aud in the spirit Of
our fathers. Whether this is to be accom-
plished by fratricidal warfare or by conces-
sion, conciliation and sacrifice, men may differ,
but all will admit that here at least harmony
and peace should prevail. Thus may We, un-
der the guidance Of Divine Providence, set
an example of peace and good will through
out our extended country. In this spirit, and
with this view, call upon the people Of New
York, irrespective Of all other considerations
or prejudices to unite in obedience TO the
laws, in support of the public peace, in the
preservation of order and in the protection of
property. FERNANDO WOOD, Mayor.

TIE MILITARY FoRcE IN WAslHSGToS.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Petersburg

TIE MILITARY Force IN WAsIHSGToS.-The
Washington correspondent of the Petersburg
Express says:
"Certain it is, that there are over ten thou.
sand secretly well-equipped gentlemen in the
city, and the surrounding cities and country,
rendy, at moments call, to flock 10 the
standard Of certain military man, whose
name had rather not mention. This is no
surmise, but certain knowledge. When to ex.
pect the call to be made, or what will be
deemed sufficient cause for making it, do
not know. But should this secret force be
called out, there is danger of there not being
much bloodshed, for the city force will make
scarcely decent resistance. The oath re-
uuirel previous to the enlistment Of yolun.
teers has occasioned much difficulty. Me-
only lave two of the finest companies in the
District been completely broken up, but there
is scarcely company whose number has moi
been greatly reduced by this requirement.
Besides this fact, there is great dissatisfaction
manifested in the ranks Of the Federal troops.
Scarcely day passes without an instance Of
desertion. Over two hundred men, from the
nine hundred that have been stationed in the
city since the Inauguration Of the revolution,
have deserted. A day or two since twenty
marines left at once for the South, and the
officers privately assure the citizens of their
real intentions and determination not to carry
out Linculu's policy
