From Our Own Correspondent.
IrtI BALTIMORE, April 6, 1861.
had only time to drop you a hasty note. yes
terday morning telling you of the hearty feeling
of relief in the public mind, at the death-blow
dealt by Virginia 10 Secession in the A MAORI
ty vote of her Convention, against the monster
heresy and at the general belief, that the Presi'
dent was about to prove to the world that the
Government is keenly alive to its responsibilities,
determined not to yield one inch to the reb-
els, but to hold firmly to Forts Sumter
and Pickens, aud restore the fraternal re-
latons broken by the daring usurpers, jeff
Davis & Co.
/ now have it in my power to say that the
events of yesterday have strengthened the feeling
of relief in the public mind hereabouts. People
breathe freer and quicker and the eye flashes
once more at the thought that the power of the
Government is about to be seen in its dealings
with traitors and rebels. The conservative power
of the Slave States will now be brought out
and lou will find it ralyiDg in ten days time
around the banner of the country in manner
little dreamed Of by the most sanguine.
Business in Baltimore, for the last two weeks
is brushing up at a rapid rate. One OF the
heaviest Wholesale grocery firms in this city In
for red me day or two ago that they did
nothing in February and the first part OF March,
but that in the last twenty days they have sold
more than they did same time in 1860. This
firm are now convinced that we have Federal
Government, aud they are not afraid to launch
forth.
| assure you, that they who are in way to
know, are convinced that Fort Sumter is not In
the condition which the Sensation Press have de-
scribed it. Major Anderson, according To Mr..
BuchaDan's representations, and they were Off
cial, wanted no reGnforcements or supplies,
late as the oath of February last, having at that
time seven months provisions and forage on hand
/ an assured that this Government j mean this
Administration, has not stood idly and negligent
ly by, and suffered Major Anderson to be- either
starved out, or left with seventy men, should the
rebels be mad enough to make war on hun.
Nor has Captain Slemmer been left to bis own
resources. He has been taken care of in the

pie who have been trembling with fear, will find
that there is MAN at the helm Of State.
| Gen. Jackson used to swear, they say, and
when hs brought that big staff Of his down with

to be shown by him on recent occasion will

The military preparations in your city, the
chartering Of the Atlantic and Ariel steamers by
the Government for war purposes, and the thou
sand other things just at this juncture bubblng
up above the surface, have given an assurance
to-day that there il life-power in the Govern
ment heart which will carry terror into the coun-
ellis Of the rebels when the visor ia thrown up
and the sword is drawn. The interest excited in
our midst BY these developments, nerves men up
to the standard of action. We have had words
enough-words to the disgust of every patriotic
heart. "By my works shall ye know me'
The Opposition have recently been indulging
in gibes and jeers at the Administration, charging
it with neglect of the public business, and with
combining itself to the little work of distributing
public patronage. more unjust imputatioo was
never thrown upon an administration. II viii

Injustice. And the money-lenders too, are very
mad at Mr.. Chase, for refusing to be governed
by their notions of the public interest, but they
are true TO their instincts, which arc cent per

Chase or the bankers. Then there is the up

felictous phrase Of John Minor Bolts.
