Forever float that !Standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but fall* before Us?
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet.
Arid Freedom's banner streaming over as:
The Star-Spangled Banner.
Renowned as our national flag is in song
and story, and enthusiastic as we have long
known the devotion of the American people
to it to be, no one could have sounded the
depths of this feeling or realized its tall extent
before the present excitement was engendered
and a stern necessity for upholding Its honor
against the desperate assaults of vile traitors
was created. It Boats now as an honored
emblem everywhere. Flags of mammoth size
are hung out by our extensive business esta
blishments, and thousands of a smaller size line
every avenue. It is worn as a badge by hosts of ,
young men, printed upon business letters and
envelopes, and greets the eye so often in va-
rions shapes, that the whole atmosphere seems
to be brightened by it. All the ardent feel
ings that patriotic poets have expressed in
regard to it are now burning in millions of
hearts, impatient to attest by heroic deeds
their attachment to their country, and their
adoration of the bright and beautiful symbol I
of its greatness and renown. Never did
French legions love their eagles, or British
troops their standard, halt so well as all loyal
American citizens anti soldiers now love the
Stars and Stripes.
The vast armies now marshalling nnder its
sacred folds will carry it in triumph wherever
their duty calls them, or die in upholding it.
The supporters of the piratical emblem of
treason will learn to their sorrow, if they
should ever dare to encounter our brave
troops, how much invincible courage and
determination it can inspire.
The Present Contest
'I he war which has been forced upon ns was
in its outset a purely defensive one. Never
before did a brave and strong people endure
greater outrages and insults for so long a pe
riod without resenting them. We have lite
rally obeyed the Scriptural injunction, and,
alter being smitten on one cheek, turned the
other to our assailants. We have sought
peace—peace at almost any price consistent
with our self-respect and the preservation of
our honor. We have quietly overlooked hos
tile demonstrations, without number, which
any other great nation would have been
prompt to punish with terrible chastisement,
until we almost deserved the sneers of the
whole world for our pusillanimity and match
less forbearance—until even the staunchest
and most faithful members of the Society of
Friends must have considered that our Go
vernment was more faithful to anti-war prin
ciples than the very founders of their sect.
But the opening of the Palmetto batteries
upon Fort Sumpter, and the subsequent pro
clamation of the President, worked a most
miraculous change. The blast of the bold
bugle-horn of one of WAIMEN. Scores heroes
was worth a thousand men; but the booming
of the cannon of the traitors against our brave
and halt•starved garrison was worth a million,
and in less than three months' time they can
be put in the field, fully equipped and ready
for action if any necessity for marshalling
them into service shall arise. As it is, with
a requisition for only seventy-five thousand,
no doubt three hundred thousand have already
enrolled themselves, and at short notice will
be prepared to march wherever their services
are required. Yet the exertions in no quar
ter should be relaxed, for the aid of all the
soldiers of the Republic who can be fully pre
pared may soon be needed.
The more resolute and determined we are
now in our movements, the sooner will we be
enabled to overwhelm the traitors who have
taken up arms against us. The greatest mis
fortune we could surer would be the indefinite
prolongation of the contest through a long
series of years, because neither party had
strength and power enough to bring it to a
speedy conclusion. It was the curse of
Mexico, in her recent civil contest, that her
resources were se much exhausted, and each
of her contending factions so much enfeebled,
that for a long period neither could command
sufficient energy to strike a decisive blow, and
thus a distracted and disorganized condition
was prolonged, in which she enjoyed none of
the blessings of peace, although there was
little of the excitement and fierce energy of
actual war.
We have the men, the wealth, the power,
and the will to do all that is necessary to pro
tect the honor of the nation, to secure its fu
ture wellare, and to punish armed rebels—and
that speedily. And it will be hest for all
concerned if onr military movements are at
once conducted on a scale fully commensu
rate with the demands of the occasion, and
the patriotism and resources Of the loyal citi
zens of our country.
Southern Pennsylvania.
The readinesa with which our gallant State
hue reaponded to the call of patriotic duty
has won the admiration and applause of every
loyal citizen of our country. A large body
of our troops are now on their, way to the
Capital, and endeavoring to open free chan
nels of communication with it. No one fears
that Pennsylvania will falter in a single point
of her duty. All know that she is ready and
eager to bear a double share of the burdens
and the dangers of the conflict But while
confident of her power not only to protect
herself, brit to carry the war into the strong
holds of the enemy, there is much justice and
wisdom in the following suggestions which we
find in the New York Evening Post of yes
terday :
On the southern frontier of Pennsylvania, in the
midst of a population faithful to the Union, and
within easy minexam of the seat of Government,
Monk' be gathered a powerfnl army, to be drilled
and kept under discipline, and ready to proceed
at a moment's notice to any point where it may be
needed Between its camp and the seat of Go
vernment the freest possible communication should
be kept open by railway and telegraph, and the
slightest attempt to obstruct it should emit the
lives of the offenders. It was not many weeks ago
that it was understood to be the desire of General
Scott to form an encampment at Carlisle, in Penn
sylvania, for this very purpose. The plan was a
wise one, and we do not woo why meaeuree are not
taken to carry it into effect.
We hear teat the rebels against the American
Government are concentrating their forces at Har
per's Ferry Seven thousand men, it is said, are
already collected there, and five thousand more
are expected_ This ie to be the centre of their
military operations, a point from which they
might have struck at th ashington, if that city
bad remained unprotected, and from which, close
as it is on the borders of the free States, they
doubtless hope to carry the war into Pennsylvania.
Bore ie a new danger to be guarded against.
We must keep the war the other side of the Pow
mite, among these who began it; it le their bant
ling,. and it is they who must pay the charge of
nursing it. It is out of the natural order of things
for the donih to invade the North, the course of
war and conquest is always in the other direction;
and if this rate Edionld now be violated we must
have a force at band ready to hew its violators to
pieces.
How the South Prepared.
We are informed, upon reliable authority,
that, for the last six months, the South has
been busily organizing military corupsui e „,
and have purchased more than 30,000 copies
of military works. Hence, they are fully pre
pared to light (thy the book." The .North
has purchased law works of military Instruc
tion. It is very important that the 'United
States Government, selecting the beet work
on Tactics, should supply it liberally to the
new lovioe, who will have to be drilled and
disciplined, and require this assistance.
The Tone of the Southern
In many of the Southern journals we re
ceived last night the project of invading Wash.
ington is freely applauded. And attacks upon
Northern commerce by privateers and up on
Northern cities, by hostile armies, are spoken
of as the moat delightlni and Convenient, re
creations in the world. We shall sea.

The Feeling in Virginia and Maryland.
We bad an interview last evening with
Farmers D. liessioxs, a resident of this city,
who has been a student for the last year at the
theological seminary at Alexandria, Fairfax
county, Virginia. HOSKUIS represents that
the feeling in favor of Secession among the
Southern students was almost unanimous after
Mr. Liam LA commenced bis present course of
action. The Northern students, some thirty
in number, were unable to express their Union
sentiments, and accordingly embraced the first
opportunity to leave for their homes. Mr.
HOSKINS left the college on Saturday morning
at ten o'clock. Arlington Heights, opposite
Georgetown, P. C., were unoccupied, al
though it had been extensively rumored that
the Seceesionists bad command of that point.
In Washington all was quiet and peaceful on
Saturday afternoon, and the American flag
floated from nearly all the private and all the
public buildings. At Baltimore, on Saturday
evening, the most intense excitement pre
vailed, and at halt past ten o'clock on Sun
day morning the military of the city were
called to arms in consequence of the ru
mor that eight thousand Northern troops
were within two miles of that city, and re
solved to march through. The troops pressed
into service all the horses they could find, in
order to carry artillery, and were prepared
for any emergency. Mr. HOMIINs and his
companions left Baltimore in a private convey
ance, at one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, by
a circuitous route, and travelled North. They
were not molested. At Cockeysville, seven
teen miles from Baltimore, they found five
regiments of Pennsylvania troops, who were
engaged in repairing the bridges and the track
of the Northern Central Railroad. Cockeys
ville heights are said to be the most command
ing position in that portion of the country.
At Tonceytown, six miles from Baltimore,
they observed a little . squad of Maryland vo
lunteers. Mr. Bossism and his companions
arrived at York yesterday morning. There
was much excitement at that place, on ac
count of several families having reached there
from Baltimore.
The Forts Reinforced.
The heart of every loyal American, no mat•
tor in what State he resides, must be rejoiced
at the vigor which has recently been displayed
in the military operations of our country,
not merely in the enrollment of volunteers—
sublime and majestic as the spectacle of hun
dreds of thousands of industrious, peaceable,
and honest civilians transferring themselves
in one short week into grim-visaged and reso
lute warriors undoubtedly is—but also in the
promptness with which the threatened forts
have been reinforced, the defences of the
capital strengthened, the Arsenal at Harper's
Ferry rescued from the grasp of the Rebels,
and their traitorous schemes baffled in every
quarter. No one doubts now that we have a
Government, and as noble, loyal, enthusiastic,
brave, and united a people in the faithful por
tions of the Union to sustain it as the world
ever saw.
The feats of which the chivalrous devotees
of the Palmetto flag have loudly boasted—
such as capturing forts garrisoned by one or
two old men or women, or by a little band of
half.starved soldiers, whose supplies were en
tirely exhausted—occupying undefended pub.
he buildings—and inflicting gross and unpro
voked outrages upon unarmed men—can no
longer be repeated. Fields of action of a very
different character will henceforth be open to
these valiant braggarts, and time will show
how they will bear themselves in future con
tests, in which the odds will be less than a
hundred to one in their favor.
The Military spirit in Chester County
We are pleased to learn that the citizens of
Chester county, in every borough, village, and
township, have gone actively to work, and are
daily enrolling their names and pledging their
lives, their property and sacred honor, in support
of their country. On Friday evening last a large
meeting of citizens was held at Odd Fellows' Ball
in the borough of Downingtown. Colonel Samuel
Ringwalt was called to the chair and made a pa
triotic speech, which was enthusiastically received.
He was followed by Major 3. Stuart Lee* M. V.
B. Hardin; Wm. R. Downing, Mr. Lamborn, and
others. About forty citizens enrolled their names
at once, and yesterday proceeded to Harrisbrn
under command of Captain Gam, of West Chester.
An energetic movement is now on foot for the for•
Landon of a "Home Guard." The "Guard" pur
poses to equip at their own expense, and "will
°Tar their services to the Governor to defend the
State against invasion and aggression from withLut
and treason and secession from within_" One hun
dred men will be ready in a few days.

EXOITIN6 ALAIIIrg, Buamxc or Bitinans, Ac
During the hours of last night and early this
morning the city remained in a state of great ex
citement, consequent upon reports that more
Northern troops were expected to arrive by either
the Northern Central or the Philadelphia rail
roads. Military sentinels paroled the streets, and
on various corners stood groups of Citizens busily
arming, loading muskets and other weapons.
Large armed crowds assembled at the several
depotS, and awaited the arrival of the troops.
Vone : however, mime on. About 3 o'clock 'this
morning the bridge over Hargis' creek, at thinton,
on the Philadelphia railroad, was fired and eon
sinned, in order to prevent the transit of troops by
that route.
About the same hour the bridge at Melville,
five miles from the oity, on the Northern Central
ttailroad, was fired by a party who went eut for
that purpose- The watchman of the bridge, Mr.
McComas, was emoted and ordered to deliver up
the bridge. The party, several hundred strong,
then proceeded to set fire to the bridge by pouring
on oamphene. The watchman's house was torn
down, as well as the fencing. and piled under and
over the bridge to aid the flames and accelerate
the work of destruction.

track was obstructed by the burning of the bridge
at that point• None of the rumors could be traoed
to an authentic) source.

Affairs in Baltimore.-Description by
an Eye-Witness.
Naw YORK, April 22 —Mayor Alberger, of Buf
falo, who bad been spending some months with his
relatives in Baltimore, arrived here to-day, with a
number of other gentlemen, who ehartered a canal
boat there on Friday for $2OO. They report the
condition of Baltimore as fearful. Armed mobs
were parading the streets, compelling all .persons
to unite with them in imprecations against the
North, the Governor, and the Union. The prin-
cipal streets are barricaded, and many of MO
houses have loop-holes out in the shutters. Mayor
Alberger was surrounded by a mob of drunken ruf
fians at the Eutaw House, who endeavored by
abusive language to provoke a word in reply, in
tending no doubt to shoot him on the spot had he
afforded them any pretext. He was unable to buy
a revolver in Baltimore, the stores having been
emptied by the mob. A prominent citizen, who
was known as a Union man, was compelled to leave
the city at six hours' notice with eight children.
It wee believed that no Northerner's life would be
worth an hour's purchase there when the next gun
was fired in the, war.
Union Sentiment in Western. Virginia.
Wintstista, April 22.--The demonstrations along
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad have been slight.
At Harper's Ferry there were abtut 5,000 Virginia
troops stationed.
The represeritatives of the Union sentiment of
Brook, Hancock, and Marshall counties were sent
to this city to•day to learn what action the Union
men of this county propose taking in view of the
demonstration in the Eastern part of the State,
and to concert measures for special action.
Nothing bass yet been done, but it is quite likely
that a convention of the western counties wiU soon
be called to take into consideration the propriety
of a divisioio of the State. Late advices from Mor
gantown, Monongahela county, represent the
Union feeling as being very strong.
Nothing of special interest has occurred in this
city to day. All has been quiet, but there is great
anxiety to hear from Baltimore and Washington.

ERE . CLOTRIEG ARRANGEMENTS AT TER ammo
The scene 'lathe entrances of the Girard Rouse,
on Chestnut and on Jayne street, yesterday, were
curious and interesting beyond precedent. Thou
sands of women of all ages and deloriptioni
thronged the doors and besieged the officers in com
mand of the admittances. There were many needy
women, already blind and feeble with stitching,
and likewise many of competence, who came to
volunteer their service§ at any department of
labor—cutting, sewing, binding, or fitting. The
officers in charge of the establishment were much
perplexed by the applications of these, and the
place resembled for a time a species of Bedlam,
filled with confused noises, voolferatione, shouts,
and the sounds of tramping feet. Messrs. R. S.
Martin and Captain Geo. C. Gibson were both on
hand traperintending operations and using every
effort to further the preparations of the ten thou
sand equipments.
Tho noel arty for this large amount of clothing
was madiknown to the Governor and State Ad
ministratien on Friday last. Prior to that time
the announcement had been that the United States
Government would provide all uniforms and
clothing to State volunteers, but on Friday the
discovery was made that by act of 1795 the States
would severally be required to clothe their own
regiments. Gov. Curtin etralghtway appointed
Messrs. Martin and Gibson on Friday afternoon.
They engaged the Girard House on Friday even
ing, and took possession of the apartments on Sa
turday. A finer depot for military purposes was
never prepared. Extraordinary energy has re
vised the preparations, and each department hasi
been supervised by gentlemen fully cognisant of
all the requirements of arsenal manufastures.
All the lower spacious rooms of the house, in
cluding parlors and dining rooms, ko., are mat
pled by one hundred cutters. Boards are erected
in every quarter of the room ; cloth in immense
quantities is heaped in every direction, and the
patriotic merchants of the city have offered cloth
to the State upon its own terms. Mr. 'Martin has
appointed as hie assistant, Mr. Samuel 8. Kelley,
the well-known draper and mercer of Walnut
street, who supervises the entire cutting depart-
Leant. The best cutters in town have been en
gaged by Mr. Kelley, end the olothing is out so
seeding 41 stated sizes. They are outdo g gray
pantaloons, blue overcoats flannel shirts, flannel
drawers, ie. Blankets are also being hemmed.

the women now at work are some of the wealthiest,
Mint failenable, and halted of the (Shy—whys
of the merchants and professional mon, and
daughters of the noted and intelligent, many of
whom have soaroely,takon a stitch during a life
time.
These have besieged the 'superintendent for
work. All the lady boarders of the Continental
Hotel are busily engaged, and the wealthiest takes
her seat with the poorest, to vie with her in labor
ing for the soldiers of the Commonwealth. We
remarked, yesterday, among the fair sewing wo.
Men the ladies of some of our merchant princes,
and in one instance the wife of a seitiionaire was
remarked sewing upon a stool, with her three
daughters crouching around her. These were so
busy that they had neither words nor looks for
some curious persons, who looked surprisedly upon
them. It was purely a labor of love with them,
needing not encouragement, adulation, or regard.
With snob fair blessings upon the volunteers, he
must be indeed inoredulous who oould doubt their
ultimate triumph. If the women thus labor, shall
the men not fight? We do not, in these remarks,
mean to throw alight upon the poor who labor for
remuneration in this 0511.1P.3. One of the latter class

Daring the intervals of sewing, some of the
women were. humming the " Star Spangled Ban

By the end of the week, it is thought, the entire

be referred to 4 committee, to report at an ad
journed meeting, as to the mode of distribution.
Mr. Davis, Mr. Chew, Mr. Mitcheson, Judge
Lewis, and Judge Knox, all advocated prompt
action, and Mr. Dougherty did not press his

Sttrer.
The subscription paper requires the money to be
paid by the Ist of May.
Mr. Colwell J. Biddle then submitted the fol.

Several gentlemen were apprehensive that this
might be misconstrued down South, and considered
an evidence that a panic was prevailing in the city
of Philadelphia. It was, however, finally agreed
to.
Mr. Dougherty submitted a resolution that the
members assemble this morning and renew the
oath to support the Constitution. This was oh

finished revolver to Mr. T. W. Martin, Company

was made by the senior partner, Thos. Maokellar,
Esq., who delivered the following patriotic address
on the omission, in the presence of the whole of the
employees of the establishment, whloh was listened
to with the profoundest attention, and at its close
cheer followed cheer for the worthy men about to
leave, and for our glorious Union:
I feel honored in performing the duty which
now devolves upon me. There is an elognenoe in
the oirousrostances surrounding us which Iran
soends any combination of words. The Constitu
tion is threatened with subversion—the laws ont
raged—the Federal fortresses and arsenals seized
—the public moneys stolen. Treason is rampant
in the Southern States—treason against a Govern
ment the freest and most beneficent of any in all
the world. Surely there is an eloquence in these
things that enters into the deepest recesses of our
hearts.
You, my friends, are not going forth to fight the
battles of a despoe—you are not going to meet a
foreign foe ; but your enemies, are rebels, daetard
ly, traitorous rebels, who have been base enough
to fire upon their country's flag—that beautiful,
that glorious, that conquering flag; which has
floated so proudly over every sea, the terror of
tyrants, and the star of hope io the oppressed of all
the ea rth.
Remember, this trouble is not of our nwg seek
ing, it has been forced upon us We have borne
long and patiently ; insults have been heaped upon
us, and we have still forborne, until the traitors
began to question our manhood. As a father treats
a vicious son with a loving forbearance, so have we
borne with the erring States; but the time has
come when the blow must be unmet
Lieutenant, take this sword. You have
already done good service in Mexico. and
we are assured that you will still be true
and faithful. And you, Martin, accept this
weapon of defence. We know that both of
you, as well as all who have gone from this
establishment, will uphold your honor and the
glory of your country. Go, with the sympathies
of every man, and woman, and child of the North
—go with the approbation of the lovers of freedom
In all the world—go with the blessings of God
Almighty upon yoa! Your cause is a just and
righteous one.
tries le he armed
Who bath his quarrel just."
God will protect and defend you ; and when you
return among us the honors of a grateful warm ,
will attend you. History will assoctiateyonr deeds
with those of the glorious heroes of the Revolution.
We °hell not forget you in your campaigniogs—
our hearts shall go with you, and we shall feel a
lively pride in your patriotio achievements. God
bless you Amen.
Both gentlemen feedingly acknowledged, in
imitable language, the teetimonials awarded them.
