It is said that in the fight, about twenty of the citizens and over one hundred of the Lincoln men were killed. If this is true, it is a good blow struck by Maryland in behalf of the South. The Southern Confederacy has in ide foreign coin a legal tender. Latest News Received. Bloody Work in Baltimore.

Washington, April 20.—President Lincoln has issued his Proclamation declaring a blockade of all the ports of the seceded States. Washington, April 20.—We have no mails to day "beyond Baltimore. The reason assigned is, the destruction ot a railroad bridge near Balti more. A large body oT troops, destined for Washington, are detained at Havre de Grace.

From the Charleston Mercury. Scene at Fort Sumter. It was allowed to Major Anderson to salute his 11 ig, and it was perhaps expected that he would tire the usual complement us twenty-one guns; but leaching that number, he still went on to tire, and t.ie apprehension w.n that he might exhibit the discourtesy of numbering thirty four. But he con tinue 1 still to fire up to fifty, mid then sloV.lv low ering his flag, the sh Hits from assembled thousands j upon the shorei and the steamers, And every | ' species of water craft, announced that the author, ity of the late Unitel States upon the last foot of Carolina's soil was finally with-drawn. It ha 1 been n diced, that at the firing of the sev enteenth gun there vVas the s >und .is oftwo reports and the impression was that two guns had been fired together: but, as the party, re-embarking wore on their way t ’ Fort Sn nter, they were met by a boat, which atinouu el that one of the cannons had exploded, and made the earnest request that the boat wool 1 return to Sullivan’s Island for a tire engine, from the apprehension that the magazine might be in danger. This obtained, the party again started for the fort, and made their entrance. It were vain to attempt a detailed description of the scene. Every p lint and every object in the in j terior ot the fort to which the eye was turned, ex j cept the outer walls and caseinates, which are still I strong,bore the impress of ruin. It were as if the ' Genius el Destruction had tasked its energies to , make the thing complete, brooded over I y the des ; elation of ages. It could scarce have been devcl : oped io a more full maturity ot ruin. The walls i of t'ne internal structure, roofless, bare, blackened ■ and perforated by shot and shell, hung in fragments j and seemed in instant readiness to totter down.— I Near the centre of the parade ground was the bur j ried grave of one who had fallen from the recent casualty. To the left of the entrance was a man who seemed to bo at the verge of death. In the ruins to the right there was another. The shatter ed tl ig-staff, pierced by four balls, lay sprawling on the ground. The parade-groan i was strewn with fragments of shell andol the dilapidated buildings. At least four guns were dismounted on the ram parts, and at every step they were imp? led by por tions of the broken structure. And so it was that the authorities, compelled to yield the fortress, bad a> Jwit thtssatiafaCP’on of leaving it »r t» condition calculated to inspire the least possible pleasure to its captors. Os those suffering from Hie casualty we have mentioned, one was killed upon the spot; two were wounded, it is supposed mortally, wfr'e left for medical treatment; and two others badly wounded, also, at their earnest sollicitation, were carried off* An officer who visited thefort soon after the ’terms of evacuation were made, states that the scene therej presented is beyond conception. M it.iout, the walls have the appearance, at a distance, of having been covered with an immense number o f brick poultices spattered in every direction. This is the shattering effect of th j shot. Within, the entire fort wore an aspect as if the hand of the de stroying angel had swept ruthlessly by and left not a solitary object to relieve the general desola tion. The blackened walls of the officers’ and sol* dier’s quarters were yet smoking, ashes and embers met the eye at every turn, while the shot and shell which had been rained upon the stronghold lay in great quantities upon till portions of the parade ' ground. ■ The appearance of Major Anderson, li'.S offi- ' cers and the men, indicated the terrible nature of the ordeal from which they had just emerged. Depri ved of sleep for many hours; fatigued with their la bors at the guns, and prostrated by their buttle witli an element which waged beyond control, they looked worn haggard and ready to drop with sheer exhaustion When the fire was at its greatest height Major Anderson stated that the only manner in which they could breath was by laying flat upon the ground within the casemates, with their faces to the earth, while added to the danger, was the oc casional explosion of the piles of shells collected for service at different points within the fort. It is to this fact that so few men were in the for tification, that is due the preservation of life. Major Anderson himself stated that had there been two hundred more, not lesss than one half ot them must have been killed, owing to the absence of suffi cient room, under the circumstances, for their pro tection. As it was, their provision would havegivert out in I two days more, when an unconditional surrender i would have necessarily resulted. He also remarked th it yesterday was one of the | proudest days of his life, for while lie had endeav. i ored to de his duty as an officer, he had not taken ■ the life of a fellow-being. What Dhl He JI can. Our renders reinember that Messers. Nelson and Maynard, two patriotic representatives >n Congress from Tenncseo, tv. re officially assured by Old Abe that he was opposed to coercive measures, in favor of conciliating the South, and of suspending the collection of the revenues in the seceding States. Now we learn from Washington Unit the whole power ol the Gov ernin nt is to be brought to bear upon the sece ded States, and that the revenue is to be col -1 cted at th'* mouth of the Mississippi by force of a ms. lit re is a palpable contradiction, n>t to say downrig falsehood —always ptovi ded that Lincoln is I’resid mt.
