Conflict in Baltimore!passage of Lincoln's troops Resisted!the first blood Spilled on Maryland soil!the National volunteers fighting for the South!martial Law proclaimed. Baltimore, April 19th. --When the Massachusetts Regiment were passing through this city to-day, they were assailed by the citizens with stones and other missiles. The soldiers fired upon the Baltimorean, killing several. The city was placed under martial law. Mr. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has refused to transport any more troops, and it is reported that other companies have come to the same determination-- The tracks are said to be torn up in some places. 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 attac

Stampeding negroes. --The negroes in Louisa county, taking advantage of the supposed proximity of their Yankee friends, have already begun to leave their owners in considerable numbers. From a gentleman just from that county, we learn that Alexander Garrett has lost two; Geo. Carpenter, three; Rev. Dr. Buckner, one; and D. J. Saunders, one. It is also said that the Yankees, in a recent incursion into Louisa, took prisoner Mr. Wm. Garrett, of the firm of A. Pearce & Co., of this city.

tes his loss at #2,000. The damage to the railroad track was slight, and has been repaired. The telegraph operator at the station left with his instruments before the enemy arrived. The cavalry, which was the same that burnt the buildings at Beaver Dam, said their next trip would be to Tolersville, about six miles beyond. The party was led by a negro, who ran away from his owner, Mr. S. C. Tally, at Frederick's Hall, and who took a very active part in the destruction of property. Mr. Smith certainly deserves credit for his boldness in making this trip, and for collecting the foregoing valuable information. From another source we learn that the Yankees arrested Mr. Wm. Garrett, a merchant of this city, who was on his way to Louisa county, and sent him to Washington, and stole six negroes from Alexander Garrett, his brother. Direct communication with Gordonsville having been temporarily cut off, we have no late intelligence respecting military movements near that point.

Hen Roost robbers. --On Saturday night the hen house of Mr. Alex. Garrett, on Marshall street, near Adams, was broken into and robbed of all his chickens. Several other hen roosts in the same neighborhood were also visited by them. Yesterday morning officers Griffin and Moore, receiving information leading them to suspect where the thieves could be found, entered a house on Marshall street, near St. James's Church, and there found and arrested five negro men. On searching the house they found sixteen fowls that had just been picked, a grain bag full of feathers, a lot of crowbars, and other burglars' tools, and in a bucket a dozen or more eggs taken from the chickens. There was also in the house five new felt hats, a jacket containing two leaded pistols, and a military great coat much smeared with blood. The articles enumerated and the negroes were carried to the watch house.--We must not omit to mention that one of the jimmies corresponded exactly with the dents on a hen-ho

m. Mr. Scott, from the Committee on Supplies for the Poor, stated that the Council had been called together to consider a proposition which had been tendered the committee by Mr. Thos. D. P. Ingram to furnish the citizens with a sufficient and regular supply of fresh beef at a price considerably below the market value. Mr. S. prefaced the reading of the proposition with a few pertinent remarks, in the course of which he stated that the scheme had been examined and approved of by Messrs Alex. Garrett and Thos. W. McCance, the principal managers for the distribution of supplies, who thought it of sufficient importance to demand an extra meeting of the Council. [The proposition of Mr. Ingram asks for an appropriation by the Council of $50,000, to be met by a similar contribution from himself and two other parties, making in the aggregate $100,000 capital. With this sum Mr. I. proposes to visit various portions of the State of Virginia, and particularly those districts which are la
