either man nor officer would have lived to tell the tale. But the shots fired then by the enemy rang through the State. Everywhere old and young — Whig, Democrat, Know-Nothing, Union men — sprang to arms and commenced pouring towards Baltimore. Early Saturday morning Captain Bradley T. Johnson brought in a company of minute men from Frederick. Then Captain Nicholas seized Pikesville Arsenal with his company; Captain Bond, of Anne Arundle, took possession of the Annapolis Junction; Captain Gaither, of Howard, brought out his fine troop; Captain Nicholas Snowden patrolled the road from Annapolis to Washington and captured Lincoln's bearer of dispatches, whom he sent by an officer to Hicks, who immediately released him. Everywhere through the counties the young men armed and organized. Then Hicks convened the Legislature to meet at Frederick because the State Capitol would not be safe, and in public meeting in Monument Square called God to witness that he hoped his right arm mig

ntry as brigadier-general. Colonel Monroe succeeded him in command of the cavalry regiment and continued in the cavalry service, in a short time in command of a brigade which was afterward assigned to Gen. W. L. Cabell, and of which he was ranking officer when General Cabell was captured; but Monroe himself being wounded and disabled, Colonel Harrell succeeded to the command of the brigade until the close of the war. The commanders of Arkansas troops east of the Mississippi river who were transferred to the Trans-Mississippi department, as we have seen, were Generals Hindman, Churchill, Rust, Dockery, Cabell, McNair, Beall; Colonels Fagan, Tappan, Hawthorn, Shaver, Crockett, Marmaduke, Provence, John C. Wright, Slemons, B. W. Johnson, Gaither. Maj.-Gen. T. C. Hindman, after being relieved of the command of the district of Arkansas, was reassigned to a division, and eventually to a corps, in the army east of the Mississippi, commanded successively by Bragg, Johnston and Hood.

times three cheers. Yesterday morning the steamer Pioneer reached her wharf, having on board the Home Guard of Easton. They consist of one company of Infantry, under Col. H. J. Strandberg, and one company of Cavalry, under command of Col. Samuel Hambleton. In two hours after hearing of the conflict in Baltimore they chartered the steamer Pioneer and hastened on to Baltimore. They report the citizens of the Eastern Shore as a unit in defence of the South. The Howard Dragoons, Capt. Gaither, from Howard county, reached the city yesterday afternoon, and reported at headquarters. Confederate States flag Displayed. At an early hour of the morning the flag of the Confederate States, having eight stars in the blue field--one for Virginia — was thrown to the breeze from the Headquarters of the Southern volunteers, on Fayette near Calvert, and was hailed with loud acclaims by the multitude present. The Colonial flag of Maryland was also displayed at the same time.

exas when he spoke of a disposition to raise the standard of revolt. Mr. Wright regretted the necessity that required him to take the floor, especially in opposition to his colleague (Mr. Herbert.) It was true he had not been in Texas since the passage of the Conscript bill, but he had been with the army at Tupelo, where he had mingled freely with ten thousand of the soldiers of his State, and among them all he had not found one dozen who did not cordially acquiesce in the bill. Mr. Gaither, of North Carolina, said that it was known that he voted against the Conscript measure, but had acquiesced in it, and had advised his people to do the same. The people had responded to it, but it was not a favorite mode of raising troops in his State. He was not in favor of repealing the present law, but for carrying it out in all its provisions. But the question was not on its repeal, but whether it should be extended. He thought the army should be increased at least 300,000. How sh

d to secure to them a speedy and impartial trial. Agreed to. Mr. Kenner, of La., from the Committee of Ways and Means, presented two Senate bills which required the House to go into secret session, and month that the House go into secret session, with a view to take up these bills. The motion prevailed, and after some time spent with closed doors, the House again resolved itself into open session. The special order of the day, being the bill to provide for filling up existing companies, squadrons, battalions, and regiments, and to increase the Provisional Army, was taken up. Various substitutes and amendments were submitted, and the House addressed by Messrs. Miles, Bonham, Gaither, and Crockett; but without coming to any definite action upon the subject, the House adjourned. [It is probable that several days will be consumed in the consideration of this bill. When it is perfected and passed by the House, we will publish it for the benefit of those interested.]

uence of this conviction he had offered his resolution. The hour having arrived for the consideration of the special order of the day, being the bill to provide for the filling up of existing regiments, squadrons, battalions, and companies, and to increase the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, Mr. Clopton, of Ala, addressed the House in opposition to the Committee's bill, as it stands. At the conclusion of his remarks, the question was called, being upon the substitute of Mr. Gaither, of N. C., for the bill reported by committee. This substitute differs from the committee's bill, in that is authorized the President, in his discretion, to call upon the several States for any number of troops, to serve for the term of three years, or the war. In making such requisition, the President shall take into consideration the number of troops from each State already enlisted for the war at the time of the requisition, and shall, as far as practicable, equalize the same amongst
