The greatest excitement prevails in the city. The Confederate flag has been raised, and the citizens will stand by the South.
[A dispatch was received in this city last night, by the Governor, from a reliable source in Baltimore, which stated that the 7th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers were attacked by the citizens of Baltimore while in the street cars on route for the Washington Depot. Two of the soldiers were killed, and a number Wounded, and six of the Baltimorean were slain by them. The soldiers were forced back, and took the cars for Philadelphia. Gov. Hicks proclaimed martial law, and also issued a proclamation forbidding the passage of any more troops across the soil of Maryland, and gave notice that if an attempt of the kind was again made it would be register by the whole military power of the State. The New York Seventh Regiment was not in Baltimore yesterday.]
