The sentinel fired, but did not hit either of them. The strangers then to took to flight and ran. Captains Bosaart's and Shant's companies, on hear ing the fire and number of the post whence it came, rushed for their arms, and in hot haste marched to the place of apprehended danger. On arriving at the post, they found the sentinel to be in a very great state of ex citement, who, upon inquiries made, commu nicated the facts as above stated. It seeming impossible to pursue the strangers with suc cess, who were then perhaps faraway, or else safely concealed, it was concluded to march the companies back to their headquarters, and to reinforce the picket guard, which was done. Nothing more occurred that night, but every man lay upon his arms for the remainder of the night, ready for any emergency which might arise. This is the first suspicious occurrence, Worthy of note, which has taken place here since the as bloody Eleventh" has been posted on this line of road. Of course, we can ex pect nothing else than that there should be disaffection among a few, in this locality, whose sympathies, for years -past, have all been with the rampant leaders of Secession at this day.

MR- EDITOR: Old Lancaster bas nobly per formed her part in sending out brave volunteers to support her country's flag ; already no less than six different companies have departed to course of citizens assembled at the depot to witness the departure of the , c Lcncaster Guards," commanded by Captain Neff, and the c' Union Guards," Captain Barton. They go to Camp Wayne. The Union Guards are composed of young men, very few of whom are over twenty-one years of age. As they volunteer for the three-years' service, the leave-taking was affecting in the extreme. The brigadier general is rapidly organizing cavalry, infantry, and rifle companies, to tender their services to the General . Government. Our city looks comparatively quiet. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Pennsylvania regi ments have moved'to Chambersburg. Troops from New York and Michigan are expected shortly to take their place. Yours, [Correspondence of The Preee.3 RELAY HOUSE, June 8, 1861 Leaving Philadelphia on the 25th day of May, fora visit to the Federal capital, I ar rived there safe, with many of our gallant boys, who were ready to do battle in their country's behalf, and strike from the soil of liberty every remnant of treason. Leaving this quarter of excitement, I visited the Monumental City, now so fallen, and looked in upon the forces of Colonels Morehead, Lyle, and Lewis. All the men seemed to be in excellent health and spirits, and longing for the clash of arms. Col. Morehead's command is located in Patterson's Park, in the western portion of the city. Col. Lewis and command are quartered upon Federal Hill, with a full, commanding view of the city, formerly occu pied by General Butler's command, while Col. Lyle and command, the National Guards, are quartered at Locust Point, near Fort McHenry. This regiment are highly complimented for their excellent drill parades, and are said to excel in the performance of the manual. Captain Neil, Lieutenants Johnson, Frank, and Henry C. Paxson, together with privates Claghorn,Conover, Mead, and hosts of our Philadelpia boys, are doing well in the camp life of the soldier. Your tellow•townBmau, lc DE 8178 NA." Proclamation from Gen.

Yon will soon meet the insurgents . You are not the aggressors. A turbulent fac tion, misled by ambitious rulers, in a time of pro foutid peace and national prosperity, have occu pied your forts and turned the guns ,against you; have seized your arsenals and armories, and ap propriated to themselves Government supplies; have arrested and held prisoners your companions marohing to their homes under State pledge of security; have captured vessels and provisions voluntarily assured by State legislation from mo lestation, and now seek to perpetuate a roign of terror over loyal citizens. They have invaded a loyal State, and entrenched themselves within its boundaries in defiance of its constituted authorities. You are going on American soil to sustain tho civil power, to relieve the oppressed, and to re take that which is unlawfully held. You must bear in mind you are going for the good of the whole country, and that, while it is your duty to punish sedition, you must protect the loyal, and, should occasion offer, at onus sup press servile insurrection.

LETTERS FOE VOLUNTEERS.—WO are in formed by Postmaster Walborn, of this city, that of late very many lettere, dm., addressed to volun. tilers encamped in various sections of the country have been dropped into the office unpaid. Re do• sires us to announce that all such unpaid matter must be roteined, as he has no authority from the Department at Washington to send it. An im pression, we believe, to some extent, prevails that the State authorities made provision for the pay ment of such unpaid matter This is doubtless a mistake. Certain it is that the postmaster has not received any official information of the feat, if such has been the ease, anci until he does so, while he would be happy and willing to assume the ad ditional duties of properly stamping and forward lag snob letters, he cannot do so until be is offi olally empowered from the proper authorities. We hope that those who write to their friends in the army will not neglect in future the importance of prepaying molt matter as they may . desire to send through the post office, thereby saving them selves and their friends much anxiety, THE CROPS.—From all our exchanges, as well as from farmers in our vioinity, we have the gratifying intelligence of the promise of an ebtut dant harvest, and a yield of riorything necessary for the support and sustenance of men and beast equal to any yield for years. The wheat promises unusually well, and, as for corn and potatoes, no. thing but severe drought can prevent a supply larger than we have had for years. There will be an abundance of fruit, too Three or four weeks ago it was announeed that the peaches, apples, plums, ita., had ell been destroyed by the frost— yet, go where you will, you will see all the fruit true leaded. The editor of the Germantown Me graph, who is eminently an observer or such nat ters, gives the most flattering account of a prolific) yield of everything, In wow of the existing troubles, this is gratifying intelligence, far which we should be thaukful.—Harrisburg Patriot and Union. 11r. Reward's Instructions` to Minnie Dayton. [From the Lcnden Times, May 231 War to the knife—war, if neeneary, pnehed to absolute extermination, to the destruction of cities, the desolation of provinces,the' letting loose of millions of negroes on ' thir proprietors—these words furnish a brief abstract of the resolution at which the people and Government of the United States appear to have arrived Respective lenity is relegated to Heaven, and Government and peo ple alike breathe the language of massacre and destruction. No potentate against whose sway the ancestral vassals of his house, who followed his forefathers to the Crusades, have risen in armed revolt, can feel more acutely the outrage to his sovereign rights than the imperious Democracy of America, founded on the declaration that all men. are free and equal, and that every man has a right to seek his well-being and happiness under what ever Government he pleases The term "secs sion " isobjected to, though, after all, it is probably the most suitable to describe the aotton of a San derbund, or a portion of a federation withdrawing itself from the remainder; because " secession, itke "federation," ezpresses an absolute equality and correlatton of righ,es 'ataxic, in thetr present wtood, the Northern States are not prepared to concede. The spirit of George 111. seems to have entered into the descendant! of hie revolted sub jecta. " Before I" will hear,'' writes George 111. in 1 779, "of any man's readiness to oomo i nto office, I will expect to roe it signed miner his own hand that hew determined to keep the empire entire, and that no troops shall consequently he withdrawn from . America, or itnirtmendenoe,..sno mo es, image. IVY orby faroe;" - iiiites Mr. Seward tn Mr. Day ton, " Weever entered into the mind of Any San did statesman here, and it is high time that it be dismiesed by statesmen in Europe " 'We profess that we think the language of the King the more moderate and reasonable of the two, for George 111. only Tamed to admit to his councils ,any one who would not 'sign a declaration ag that independence which he wits forced to admit himself three years afterwards, while Mr. Seward not only refuses to admit the possibility . of that object for which one-half of the Union is in arms against the other, but assues 296 1,1111ibLi624 to all European statesmen to allow such a thought to cross their ?lands. This is, indeed, a high strain of prerogative, and one to which none of the anti quated despotisms of Europe amid for a moment aspire. The truth is, American statesmen do at last know their own minds. After six months of the moat pitiable vaoi lation and uncertainty they have at last heard the voice to which they pay im plioit ohetience. State after State went on se ceding;; Senator after Senator took a long fare well of the Capitol ; a Government was formed, a Constitution drawn up, a President elected, the arsenals of the United States were seized, and bat teries thrown up Tor' the attack of Forts Sumpter and Pickens, yet the people of the North made no sign : they went about their business ILIUM!, and left the Southern States to do exactly as they pleased. As long as this lasted the Government of Mr. Lincoln had really no policy—aisleast none to which it tiered to give any practical effect. But the cannon which Binged the defenders of Feet Sumpter awoke the people of the North from their lethargy. It soon became evident that they were not prepared to permit the seoeesion of the South without a struggle The will of a democracy, as unused to and as impatient of contradiction as any Eastern monarch, was dietinotly expressed. From that moment Mr. Seward and his fellows became the most resolute and deoided of men. They breathed nothing but war and slaughter, and on cupied themselves, after au uneasy slumber of six weeks, with the most %/storm preparations for a campaign in Maryland and-Virginia. In all this there is nothing to complain of. The voice of the Amerioan people is the voice of the Deity who is worshipped under the forms of the American Con stitution, and we have no right Severely to cranny) men who have shown themselves ready to give afoot to the popular will as soon as they have dis covered what that popular will is. ' -But we do think that his own experience might tesoli Mr. Seward a little more charity and tole ration for the dotibts end diffroultiee of Enropean statesmen. Let hint remember his own uncer tainties till within the- last two or three weeks, nor let him altogether forget that if we have not the same confidence that he has, neither have we the advantage of the same unerring mentor to guide us. The voice of the American people after all, only the voles of a least divinity, whose oracles do not pass current on acts side of the At lantic. Mr. Seward may believe and tremble; we are not disposed either to do the one or the other. We have bad occasion to point oat the otter in adequacy, and even the ignorance of the real nature of the quarrel, which characterized MI-- Steward's proposition for conciliation, and we have remarked how precious time has bean allowed to steal by, the lose of which can never be compel'- , sated by efforts of the most spasmodic energy. We mast entirely decline to recognize in Mr. Seward that gifted seer to whom the future is as the pre sent, and who has the power of informing us, not only of the events of a oivil war, between the two Confederseleo, which may possidy shiver to pieces in the - very first moment of direct impact, but who can also tell us, in language ill suited to the pro ms. ....union es um connery, that in America ,ro - Feso will be only one nation and one Government, 'the saes "Itepublid; and the same constitutional Lnion that have already survived a dozen national changes, and changes of government is almost every other country. This is the message whiob, through Mr. Dayton, the American Secretary of State sends to the Go vernment of Pram& ; a message, if not of defiance, certainly one which sounds very like an insult. What good purpose can be served by reproaching France with a long and tragical history of her re volution at the moment when America is about to plunge into a civil war without one of the excuses whiob lend so thrilling an interest to the catastro phes of Lyons, Toulon, and La Vendee. There is no Duke of Brunswick on the frontier; there is no Coblentz; there is no Pretender to the Crown— none of those things which make mon cruel by ap pealing to their fears. At any rate , _ we have un dergone no violent change since the Declaration of Independence, and have, therefore, on Mr. Se ward's principle, a right to give an opinion on the subject on which he pronounces so dogmatically. The opinion which we incline to—though, we con fess, with the very greatest regret—is that, what ever be the result of the cavil war now pending, the result least likely to odour is the one so oorrfi• dently predicted by Mr. Seward. Let us grant that the South will be conquered—can the van quished elites be once more admitted to the en joyment of equal federal rights? Is it conceiva ble that Mr. Davis, for instance, or any of the pre sent Southern leaders, can again take their seats in Senate, to deliberate with the men of the North on the common interests of the Confederaoer? Will the North ever submit rigain, after the expe rience of this year, to the Government of the Southern President? Will it place the army or the Trersury in the hands of a Southern Secretary, after the experience le' has had of Mr. Floyd and Mr. Cobb? Will the victors submit to be outvoted by the vanquished? Is Mr. Seward of opinion that the institution of slavery can survive the vi cissitudes of a bloody and keenly-contested war? Is he prepared to give the four millions of negroes who would thus be emancipated a voice equal to that of the whiles in the national councils? Will that antipathy which now burns so fiercely be al layed by the process of conquest and subjugation ? And, if ell these things are more than doubtful, what is it that gives Mr. Seward the confidence to say, at a moment when the world stands aghast at the horrible preparations for a civil, and probably a servile war, that the Government of the United States will stand hereafter as it stood heretofore, the object of human wonder and affootion? Purl r A Desperate Conflict. A REFUGES FROM THE SOUTH We find in the Southern Confederacy, (Atlanta, Ga.,) of the 26th nit., the following advertise ment : " 5250 reward will beriven for the arrest of George .rdartan. dead or alive, charged with uttering Venous- We sentiments against the Southern Confederacy. and admitted by him. and for an attempt to take the life of Lieutenant Carruthers when under arrest. BROWN & LaIDLEII, T.. 1. McGann , . S. Pd..M.Lerillia. WHiTitrizap, And others. 4, All papers in the South please copy." Accompanying the above, The Confederacy makes the following statement : We clip the following from the Pulaski Tezvms, Published at Sawkitisville in this State. Martin resided some eight miles east of that place. It ap pears that he said that " if Lincoln would march his forces through the Southern States; that he would link his destiny with him, and that if the war continued Ave years ho would be as slob as he Wanted to be ; that there were thrifts who got rich in the Revolutionary war, and that he would do so in this." Lieut. Carruthers was despatched to arrest him, and be gave himself up, acknowledging that be had need the language with which be was charged. Lieut. Carruthers took him in a buggy to carry him to llawkinsville for trial. He was uneasy for fear he would be hung, but was assured that he would only have to leave the country. When with in two miles of town he was permitted to get out of the buggy. On getting bank into it, he threw up his band and frightened Lieut. Carruthers' horse, which was a spirited and restless znimal, causing him to spring very suddenly, compelling Lieut. Carruthers to release his hold on his musket, and grasp the reins. Martin immediately seized the I gun, and, with it, aimed a well directed blow at carrntherehead, who dodged and received it across his back or shoulders ; Carruthers then jumped front the buggy, and, as he did so, Martin stepped back and cooked the gun. Carruthers sprung behind the horse, and being followed by Martin, ran around to the opposite aide. Martin then presented the musket. Carruthers told him to "(track his whip, and at the same time fired at Martin with a re volver, at the (Moberg° of which Martin dropped his head, from which Carruthers thinks hie ball took effect. Martin then wheeled ae if to pass around the buggy, and, as he id so, another shot was fired hy Carruthers, but d without effect. As Martin reached the rear of the buggy, MIMI. thers fired a third time, and thinks the shot took also. Martin was by this time on the same side with Carruthers, and Carruthers again sprang to the opposite side. Martin instantly fired upon him with the market, the muzzle of which was not exceeding five feet from the horse, and the whole charge passed into the shoulder of the horse. Finding that the shot bad not taken effect, Martin clubbed the musket, and Lieut. Carruthers fired upon him again, and thinking his pistol exhausted, threw it into his face, intiotin a severe wound. Martin then wheeled and ran. The alarm was given by Lieutenant Carruthers as aeon as possible, and some of the guards who were behind at the time the affray took place, upon finding the e ohdition of atrial", immediately started for dogs to follow the trail. Lieutenant Oarrutbers hurried to town as rapidly as the condition of his horse would permit, and gave notice to the members of the company of what had teensy feed, and in half an hour Captain Ryan had forty or fifty men in pursuit. Martin was followed until day break next morning. but escaped. it seems that he obtained a horse from a negro of William Allen, and thus evaded his pursuers. The negro states that be Will bleeding freely when he saw him, Gild that be was evidently severely *wounded."

Within the 1W two years nine hundred and ninety-nine children have beers killed by wolves in the Punjaub, and a large RUM bar of adults. Although the Government pays a considerable sum for the destruction of wild ani. ma's, they do not seem to diminish in numbers. In 1859 there were killed 12 tigers, 192 leopards, 187 bears, 1,174 wolves, and 2 hyenas—total, 1,587. In 1860 there- were killed 35 tigers. 163 inwards, 350 bears, and 2,080 wolves—total, 2,658.
