[Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.]
BALTIMORE, December 27, 10.30 P. M.—There was an immense excitement produced here today by the intelligence of the abandonment and firing of Moultrie. The excitement still continues.
A large meeting was held to-night, at which it was agreed to call a Union mass meeting of all the citizens next week.
The feeling is strengthening rapidly in favor of the formation of a central Republic if a dissolution of the Union must occur.
The abandonment of Fort Moultrie meets with much approval. It is nevertheless condemned by many.
Another large meeting was held to-night, looking to a call of the Legislature, independent of the Governor’s sanction.
Business of all kinds is paralyzed.
