WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1851 liffir :It is said that, 5000 applications have' been. made at the .Philadelphia Custom House for gaspoctorships, Clerks, .6re. The appointments are for four years, while the volunteers in the army are enlisted for only three years, which is-said to be , the reason .given for preference.of•serVicelin the .former over the latterl Aft' Hon. A. H. •feeder bas written a savage letter to the President, :through Mr. Cameron, in which he counsels the administration to burn rebel towns; destroy rebel railroads, and, in general carry on a warfare of retribution, carnage and fierce slaugh ter. Civilized warfare does not:sanc tion the indiscriminate deluge of the land with blood.and destruction, and we have reason to believe that the administration does not intend to carry on a warfare of barbarity, and 'we know that Pennsylvania does not approve of !the sentiments of Reeder, although he says it does. If we car ry on such a warfare wo should con• template retaliation of a like nature, and when we consider that there are hundreds of places North where ir ruptions might be made by the South erners upon us, and burn our towns, destroy our railroads, and butcher our wives and children, we say God pro tea us from such a warfare. When wo consider, however, that Reader is only bidding for the Major-Generalcy of the Pennsylvania forces-,whieh be is not at all likely to get on ac count of his blood-thirsty propensities —we feel considerable relief tgt„. An application made last week, from private parties in the Eastern States, to Gov. Curtin, to permit bod ies of armed free blacks to pass through Pennsylvania, has met with his unconditional refusal. Great sat isfaction is expressed with the refusal At- itien of all parties. The object of these applications Was to rouse the slaves of the Southern .S.tates to re . hellion. `ter lion. John A. Dix, Seeratary of the Treasury under Mr. Buchanan, in a recent speech said : And hero, fellow-citizens, it is important that we should clearly understand the position of tile late Administration on this question. It is due to this Administration, as well as the last, that we should all understand it. I shall be very brief, but I must ask your close attention for the few moments that will be needed.- - . On the Sol of December last, In his annual Mes sage to Congress, the late President made a strong and unanswerable argument against the right of secession. lie also indicated his purpose to col lect the revenue and defend the forte in South Carolina. In a special message to Congress on the Bth of January he declared (I use the lungunge of the Message,) "The right and the duty to use military force defensively against those who re sist the Federal officers In the execution of their legal functions and against those who assail the property of the Federal Government, is clear and undeniable."—(Cries of "Good for him I" and loud cheering,) The authorities of South Caro• lima were repeatedly warned that if they assailed Port Sumpter it would be the commencement of a civil war, and they would be responsible for the consequences,—(Cheers.) The last and most emphatic of these warnings is contained in the admirable answer of Mr. Holt, Secretary of War, to Mr. Bayne, the Commissioner from South Coro line,on thedth ofFebruary. It lain these words: -"If, with all the multiplied roofs wisiah exist of the Prasidentls aneriety.forpeace, and of the earn •estness with •which be has puraued il L ibe authori ties of that State shalhassault Fortlitumpter and ;peril tbedivemof tho '<handful of brave and loyal 'men abut up within its walls, and thus plunge the country into the horrors of civil war, then upon them, and those they represent rests the re eponsibility." (Enthusiastic applause and wav ing of hats.) I believe the letter from which I have read this extract has never been pub lished, but I, as a member of the Administration at the time it was written, have a right to soy that it had the cordial support of Lhe late Fresh dent and all his constitutional advisors. (Cheers for General Dix.) And this brings me to the point I wish to make. I violate no confidence in making it. It is this :—lf South Carolina had tendered war to the lute administration no she has to this—.l mean by a hostile and deadly assault— it would have been WI nanimanoly accepted.—(Pro tinged apc4itese.,) I repeat, then, that this Ad ministration has done no more than its duty. Nay, I believe that self preservation rendered necessa ry what it has done. I have no doubt that the Confederate leaders at Montgomery have enter ' teamed, and still entertain thedesign ofmarching upon - Washington to overthrow the Government, taking Its place and presenting itself to the nn- Gone of the world as the true representatives of the people of the United States. (Cries of "Nev er, never; they can't do it.") Against this usur pation and fraud, if it shall be attempted, I trust we shall contend with all the strength God has given us. (Cries of "we will.") lam for sup porting the Government. Ido not ask who ad ministers it.—lt is the Government of my coun try, and as such I shall give it in this extremity all the support in my power. THE U. S. A-RIVIORY AT SPRINGFIELD. —There aro now about 220 mon cm. ployed at the Armory, and its pro. dttetion is about fifteen hundred rifle muskets each month. With new ma-. chinery and move mechanics, there is shop room enough to extend this to 2,500 a month, and by working day and night, employing double setts of workmen, the capacity of the °stab lishment may even be increased to 4,000 or 5,000 muskets per month.— The necessities of the government,in this crisis, will doubtless produce im mediate orders for working the arm ory to the latter production, and then it will give employment to from 1,000 to 1,200 men, • ma.

Letcher will be called upon by the President to relinquiSh possession of Harpees Ferry.arsenel and the Gosport navy yard as the twenty days of graCe have expired. • The general opinion is that the first engagement of the campaign will take place at some poitithetween Washing. ton and Richmond. Gor. Leteher seems to be alarmed at the vigorous measures taken by the federal gov. ernment, and even more at the strong Union feeling in western Virginia which has put on so bold a front. Provisions are pouring into Wash- ington very fast. Two large .droves of oxen got there yesterday from Pennsylvania. The troops there will therefore be well provided for. The War Department is desirous that all the volunteers sent on in future should be properly equipped and drilled, and it is very essential that they shoulel be, in view of the activity, of the Southern army in concentrating itself around the federal capital. . It is rumored that information has been received by the Department of War that, the Sontheirn troops have been instructed to first make an at-, lack on Pennsylvania, so as to attract the attention of the United States Goverment away from Washington. Then, the Southerners think they will have a fair opportunity to:attack. the Federal City. • M. Seward has sent a letter to our new minister at Paris, W. L.

THE MOVEMENT AT TIRE SOVTH. There can be little doubt that Gen eral Beauregard is now in Richmond. The tone of the southern press and, the reports of travelers from the same region, agre that the scene of mili• tary optfEtions• on the part of the South is to be removed to the border States, and Beauregard is undoubted ly planning the campaign. - - There is a two-fold object in this movement. it is necessary to remove the military preparations and the op portunities for a collision from the in terior of the gulf States to get rid of the incentives to negro insurrection ;' while a border warflire will be inatig,- united for the purpose of dragging the remaining border States into the re bellion. Another point which I have obtain: , ed from a southern source, and which confirms the foregoing, is, before the adjournment of the Montgomery Congress it will decide to make. Rich• mond, Ye., the, capital of the Confed erate States. A gentleman who is well known hero arrived to•night from Pensacola. He states that there aro about eight thousand rebel troops outside, of the fort, and that they are in a very bad condition. Their provisions are,giv ing out, and the warm weather is making many sick, while be general impression, so far as he could leap,. was that an attack on the fort would be soon abandoned, on the pretense that the troops would be wanted up north. It is understood that the Southern Congress is engaged in arrangements for the vigorous and successful prose. cution of the war, placing the Con federacy in the best possible condition of defence. It is also nndcrstood,con trary to what was generally supposed, I the COnfederaey has control of saf ticient arms, ordnance, and ammuini. Lion of every description, to put into the field, 150,000 men for a year's cam. The War Department at Washing. ton .has learned from what 'it consid ers h truttworthy source, that net far from 50,000 'men are within two day's march of Richmond. They know positively that Gen. :Bea,uregard has been at4int:phide 'Within ten days, from which he returned to Montgom ery in 'haste. It is the impression :it Washington that we haVe been misled concerning the Southern movements and Southern SUCCeSSln'raitir.g troops; . so much so that, within-a few hours,the polioy. concerning the concentration of troops atflic'eapital has. been the them of an animated discuSsion at a Cabinet' Meeting. It, was deemed best to continue the rapid importation of forces to a very large extent, and Gen. Scott haS given orders to that effect. MARY_LAND \ LEGISLATURE. Report of the C'onimittee ,Federal Relations rittDERICK, May 9.—The : Commit- tee on -Federal-.Relations made atong report, pronouncing thOwar waged by the Government against the Confect. crate States unconstitutional, repug nant to , civilization and sound policy; a subversion of the free principles on which., the Union was founded ; that whilst the people of Maryland recog nize the obligations of the State as a member of the Union to submit, in :good; faith, to tWexerciso of all legal and doriatittition4owers of the Gen eral Government, and to join ..as one man-in-fighting its authorized battles, they do reverence, nevertheless; the great American principleS of self got 'ernment; and '•unlinth!zing with' theirSOuthern brethren, in their noble and manly determination fend the same..

The last resolution says that, under existing circumstances, it is ineXpedi: ent to call a sovereign Convention, or to take any measures for organizing the militia. IMPORTANT FROM ST. LOUIS Surrender of the Missouri _Militia to the Ugited States 'Troops. Sr. Louis, May 10.—General Frost's brigade of Missouri militia, encamped at Camp Jackson, on the western ont skirtS of the city, surrendered uncon ditivnally, this afternoon, on the .de. wand of Captain Lyon, commander of the United States forces in this city. Captain Lyon marched on : Camp jackson with some thousand voluti. tecrs r surrouneleAl 'it, and planted eight field pieces on theadjoining eminence. The 'following letter was sent front Capt. Lyon to Gen. Frost : MCADQUAIITERS or• TIM U. S. TROOPS, Sr. Loins, May 16, 1561. j To G x. D.

These extraordinary preparations plainly indi cate none other than the well-known purpose of the Governor of this State, under whose orders you are acting, and whose purpose, as recently communicated to the Legislature, has just been responded to by that laodyln the most unParal lulled legislation, having an indirect view to hos• tilities to the General Government, and a position with . its enemies: • In view of theitt consicieratMns, and your fail ure to disperse in obedience to the proclamation of the President, and of the eminent necessity of State policy and welfare and of the obligations imposed upon me by instructions from Washing ton; it is my duty to demand, and I do hereby demand of you, an immediate surrender of your command, with no other condition than that all persons surrendering.under this demand shall be humanely and kindly treated. Believing myself prepared to enforce this do. mend, one half hour's thus before doing so will be allowed for your compliance therewith. Lrott ; Captain Second Infantry,• - Commanding the Troops. It is understood that General Frost says this letter was not received by him until his camp was surrounded by 'United States troops. He then replied that the encampment was or b aanized under the law- of the State simply for organizing and drilling the volunteer militia of this military district. Not expecting any demon. stration of this kind, he was entirely unprepared to sueeessfully resist the attack. He therefore .accepted the terms specified arid surrendered his command., There were only a,bmit . Boo men in the camp, a large number being in the city on leave of ,absence. These troops laid down their aring, and were escorted to the city as prisoners of war. LATER. ST. limas, May 10-31idnight,—.-- Just before the troops started for, the city, and while thn State troops wero drawn up hetweou twO linee of U.

One shot took effect in the leg of Capt.

MAJOR A NDERSON PRO M OTED.-A correspondent writing from Washing. ton says, so much has been said about the disposition to be made of Major Anderson by the President, the Sec reta►y of War, and by the volunteer federal troops of Kentucky, to_ say nothing of Major Anderson's own de• sires, that 1 am authorized to make the following Statement: The gen tlemen composing the brigade of rol• unteers, raised in Kentucky sent a delegation here to invite AlLajor An derson to command them as Briga• dies General. He promptly respon ded that he would do so with the con. sent' of the President. The Presi dent as quickly said he would com mission Iklaj. Anderson, and detail him to that command, if there was any law authorizing him to do so, and would not throw the Major out of the regular service in the event that the volunteers were .disbanded in a short time. This point was not made clear to the President, and to-day Maj. Anderson was promoted by the Sec retary of War to the position of Col onel in the army and the President signed the commission, but with the distinct understanding that if it should subsegently be ascertained that au thority existed to promote the Major still higher, and give him command of the Kentueky brigade, or if Maj. An , derson desired the promotion, at the risk of leaving the regular army it should be done. This is the precise state of the case now. ,C' LEARNING TOiSIIGOT.—At West Point, the Cadets are daily trained to shoot at a target with the musket ri fle. They fire ten shots, in squads of ten at as many iron'tarpets, the size and form of a man. Each squad is arranged in line, so that each Cadet fires at, his own target, which has its number painted upon it. The shoot ing of each Cadet and each squad is recorded, so that the qualities of each, as a Marksman, are well known to the instructor. Chapman, in his book called the American Rifles, states fhat all men dodge in :fittingg---scime before and oth ers just after the shot is fired. The latter class may learn to be marks men, the former never. In learning to shoot with a rifle, a person should strive to acquire a steady, cool de meanor, with a true, quick eye and nimble finger. Practice, and nothing but practice can make a good marks. man. At the same time firing is not the only practice that is necessary. sear- A .girt going to market with a basket of eggs on herhead, had them knocked off a rowdy, for which he was fined. and had to pay for the eggs.
