The militia laws of , the United States and of this State are very ; precise in their requirements, and draw an nc j curate distinction between’ those liable to mili ; tin service and those who. are exempted. I. The army of the, United States is composed j of persons who enlist voluntarily, who are j termed “regulars,” and corps of State militia, ! who 'f‘volunteer.” Both wings arc recruited j voluntarily, and not by compulsion, i The militia of the United States, as defined 1 by the United, States law, is composed of “cve | ry free, 1 nbleUodied white male citizen df the j respective States, resident therein, who is or shall jbe of the age of‘eighteen years, and under ! the age of forty-five years,” ’excepting those j styled “exempts.” The exempts are: the Vice 1 President, and judicial and executive officers of •f the United States .Government; the members | and officers of both Houses of Congress; Cus j tom-House officers and clerks; postmasters and 1 officers, persons employed ip the care and con veyance of the marls; inspectors of exports; i pilots); all mariners and seamen actually em- I ployeu in Sea service, and all other persons cx j emptad by the laws of the several States.: Besides the above, the Pennsylvania State militia law exempts from service all persons in the United States army or navy; ministers and preachersof licigospel; professors of colleges; schoe| teachers; judges of the coarts;' persons who may havp been heretofore regularly and i honorably discharged from the United States j army or navy; and commissioned officers of the j militii of any State, who shall have, served as i such for dive consecutive years, and whii shall have (honorably resigned, or been discharged ! from |he service. j Until a “draft” is resorted to, these laws are i practically inoperative. When the militia 4re : drafted they are drafted for three months only, so thpt no one can be compelled to serve any h longer. ' Persons while performing militia duty I‘may enlist in the service of thp United States, j bat no compulsion can be used; and wheti they have they became part of the - regular forces! “Mustering in,” as it is comfuonly called, does not mean enlisting into the army; it is simply a technical term used to designate a three-months’ service. When a “draft” of the militia is made, ac cording to the laws of Pennsylvania, a written or printed notice is to be served on every per son sol drafted, at his residence, as follows; - - - , Ink" notice that you are hereby per sonally, or by a sufficient substitute, to appear, prbperiv armed and equipped for service, at ——, on tije —— day of —' —-. to march when'required. 1 Given under my hand, &c, -—■ I Captain cr cou.maaUii.p .tilixr. A “substitute’' is a person not drafted, who may pe approved by the commanding officer; and if the substitute should afterwards be drafted, his employer must march er find a second substitute. Persons who neglect to serve, and provide no substitute, are punished accordihg to /penalties provided by act of Congress. These Penalties are provided in the special act of Congress, making the draft. As to privates, there is no penalty, and there will not be any .until Con gress, |at its next session, passes a law providing for the case. Commissioned officers, neglecting or refusing to serye, forfeit a sum not exceeding one year’s pay, and not less than one month’s pay, to he • adjudged by a court-martial, ac cording to the aggravation of the offence, and may be cashiered for a term not exceeding one year. When called out by title Governor 6f the State, commissioned officers neglecting or re fusing their duty, pay a fine of thirty dollars, and non-commissioned officers and privates six teen dollars for each month’s delinquency. No one is! in danger of being called upon until a draft is ordered, and even then the odds ore against any unwilling person being forded to serve. , Formation of Casipsmesis. —The War De partment contemplates to establish shortly two large cantonments, one at Gettysburg, Pa, and another in the neighborhood of New York probably, at Staten Island, The object of these camps is to prepare two efficient corps damee, with which certain important operations can be promptly! carried onfr The force that will be collected la these camps is not yet settled upon, but will vary from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand men. They will be worked up by the best officers to the highest efficiency, aud kept in constant readiness for, active service.— The force at Qetlysbarg will no doubt' tie em ployed at the right moment for an inland-move ment that it may not be proper at this time to disclose; wliilet niat at Staten Island is meant to he directed against various points of the sea board bounding the'rebel States. ■ Soothebs 'States.— The forts South of j son and Dixon’s line, now in possession of the ; Confederate States, are seventeen in number, } costing the United States more than $0,000,000, j which, when fully manned and armed, hold i 5,830 men and 1,310 gun/. Those still held J>y i the %ited States at Die South number fourteen, costing about the same amount, and of similar capacity. In addition to these there are forts incomplete at Ship Island, Miss.; Georgetown, S. C.; Port Eoyal Beads, S.

And wo doubt hot that a more recent declaration of an eminent Georgian will be pronounced in like manner “unauthorized.” - This Georgian writes that “if we fill, many persona propose, to deso late the country, and retreat; and if thaf will not do, to offer, the country do England as a Colony.” ■ ■ . , ' > •,'! v Wasbikjstos, May, 21st, —It is reported that a squad went down to Alexandria, yester day, from the Zouave Regiment (encamped on ' the banks of the river,) and down a Se cession flag that had been flying in Alexandria. Two of them were arrested, and ore confined in that city, awaiting orders from the Confederate ' authorities. Chamesusbcim;, May 18.—Ueavy reinforce ments are expected here in a few days—all to march southward. Excellent order and disci pline prevail in Camp SlLfcr, under General Williams. A deserter from the Virginia forces arrived here, and reported himself at headquarters.— He Is a shoemaker by trade, and was enlisted forcibly at Culpepper Court-House, in Virginia, and was marched to Harper’s Ferry/ He states that the captain of the 'company issued a gen eral order, requesting the troops to husband their ammunition especially. The captain said afterwards, verbally, that no waste should be made of pcrcussiqu caps, as there were not more than sufficient caps to fire five rounds. He was cross-examined on the facts by an experienced lawyer, holding high rank, but did not vary the slightest in his statements. He was at. Harper’s Ferry for three weeks, and esc&pcil on Wednesday morning. . He confirms the report that there arc only five brass field pieces, and the troops arc short of provisions. At least two thousand men were not armed at all out of the seven thousand. Col. Jackson is now in command. j Chambersbcho, May 19.—Judge Mason, ex ■ collector of Baltimore, was, released to-day, and j sent.'ever the Maryland line. He is known to entertain Secession sympathies, but bis charac ter is too high to induce a belief that he would ] condescend to play the spy, There wasipo au j thority from the Secretary of War to retain j him, and his discharge is approved by the most ! judicious residents. j The deserter who arrived here yesterday is ; named Stanley, and was originally from Ohio, i j He says there were but twelve pieces of can- ; : non at Harper’s Ferry on Thursday night. | j The Confederate troops on Friday visited a j Maryland farmer, three miles below the. Ferry, j and killed seven hogs and drove off three head j of cattle in broad daylight They have com- ; | mitted similar depredations in Maryland for ten ■ miics above the Ferry, and these visits arc oc i curring daily. I Unionists, driven out of Virginia, ape arri j ring here daily, and 'Borrowfril stories arc rela j ted by many. r. The 'troops in camp here are not yet fully ! equipped. , They need knapsacks, which will i he famished soon. They expect to receive j marching orders southward every day. They' I will certainly occupy Hagerstown in a few days. i CiiAHEEßßitcnc, Fa., May 21st—A detach i ment of 700 Virginia troops have arrived oppo ; site'Williamsport, on the Potomac fiver, only . twenty-six miles south of this point. It is believed here that they intend to m*ke an incarsipn into the southern borders of this State. Affairs grow interesting here. | Gen.

Hia object is believed to | be to obtain,the presence here; of two batteries j of artillery and a batallion of cavalry, rendered necessary by the forward movement of the Vir | ginia troops. ’ ’ i New Yohk, May 20.—Advices from Key West j state that Captain Craven,, of the V.

Find ley, we are permitted to copy the following ex tracts from a letter recently received by him from his son, Joseph B. Findley, who is a mem ber of the National Guard, of Philadelphia: Beak Fatale ; —I ha>to to inform you of my present pviitionand its comforts. You, will find the details of cur d« parture fiom Philadelphia vividly portrayed in llu Pres* and Jnq‘ur:r, and no! doubt have read it crc this. We are row ou Locust Point. within the limits of the city • of Baltimore, au-.I directly under the guns of Fort Me* I Henry—being at jut oDe-i,.«irth of a mile from it.- There j a:> now five regiments jested around the city, consisting j ol the rth Mas-achusetts, fth New Votk. National Guard. I Philadelphia Light Guard, and the 1-t Regiment, com* j Riaruled by Col. Lewis. ; %\c Lad a magnificent ride down I the Chesapeake and up the Fatapsco to Baltimore. Wo left iVrryviile just as it was breaking day, and.landed at j 1 o’clock I*. 31. We then had to march ahofit four tulles. 1 and it was shout as hard a walk as ever I undertook. My | knapsack weighs SO lbs., which I have to carry, la* | sidc-S a haversack, canteen, cartridge-box with -hj roumla of ammunition, and three days' rations in the haversack.— Finally wo camped on a nice open field, and proceeded to put up tents and get supper. Wc are now fairly estab lished in camp, and are getting on finely. Plenty cf good plain food, and not much to do. I will give you our daily routine; Reveille? beats at day-break, when we ail foil into line, have the roll called* and drill far about an horn - . Wc then take breakfast. I forgot to say that before break fast wc mafth off In squa-U to the river, to wash. After breakfast wo arrange our tcnU, and clean up generally.— At 0 o’clock A. 31. wo have full dress parade and guard mounting. Ftom that until SP. 31. we have for cfeauing guns, washing clothes, writing Utter?, Ac. At 5 I*. M. wc have evening parade and roll-call. At 30P.M.tattoobcats and all retire. It is difficult for us to get beyond the limits of the camp, os the Colonel refuses to give passes. He considers that it is not safe for the men to go into the < city. This latter is written hi my tent .which is about 8 i fxtlongby 8 feel wide. There are seven of us in the j tent, and we oro fixed very comfortably. I am stretched : or the ground writing, on a box-lid of rather a piece of j board, having one end resting on roy knapsack. We sleep ! on our arms at night, having our belts strapped on and i repdy to tmn out sit a moment's warning. Altogother.it ; Is a pleasant life, full of hardships and dangers, but yet 1 j like it. I sec by the Baltimore papers which hare just now j arrived, that the Ohio and Massachusetts troops Imve gone j back to tho Relay House, and that wo will occupy Federal Hill, which tht-y have just left. Our provisions arc plenty but plain—bread, cradkere, salt pork and beef, beans, find coffee; no vegetables yet, but I suppose wc'will have pota ! toes before long- Our officers and all rough it alike. Col. Ryle comes slipping along, 'sitting down \vith the men | when at meals, and examining their food to sec if It is as | it should be. Wc were sitting in front of oar tent last j evening, eating oar bread and bee£ and drinking our cof t fee, when he 'appeared, sat down, and tasted the quality of our coffee, lie pronounced it good, and passed on. ♦ « • ♦ * » « P. S.—Before sending this off I will add a few more lines;—The Philadelphia papers state that we were re ceived with cheering, 4c. Now, that is not the case. There was no demonstration of any kind, except in one instance, when two or three drunken fellows gave three cheers for, something, I cannot tell what. Our camp is in the enemies’ country, and wo are looked on as such. 1 hare no confidence in the patriotism of the city. Gentle men from that place hare advised Col. Lv]o not to allow the men to go into the city, as threats had hyen made against them. The Secessionists are as twotoonein the city. »*•• * * « Your affectionate Son, JOS. R. FINDLEY. Mcssxs.

But here we are yet, with no better prospect of going than a week. ago.

B. Cramer, E. B. MeCrura, I'roui Hie above it will bo seen that An ello i, about to be made to establish iu this place tirst-class academy, with which will bo associ; ted a military school. That such an instil, iluu is demanded in this section of the couatr :,!1 will admit—that this is the proper time I agitate the question, and Altoona \lhe prop* location for such a school, appears evident i ns. It is intended to establish a school i which the pupil will obtain a thorough acadcw cal education in all the Etiglish branches, matin uiatics and the languages, together with pcife military discipline as now taught at West Poii and other national military schools. Shoui such a school be established here, our citiiei would be enabled lo educate their children will out the expense of sending them abroad, at. they VM>a)d also obtain in it a military eduei lion, the importance of which is now apparen hut which they would not rcdctvc in other aca. cmics. Altoona, in point of location, means . access, and healthfuiness of climate, seems t be the proper place for such a school, and v. hope oar citizens will evince their interest i the matter by turning out to the meeting o •Saturday evening, when they will be more fuli instructed in reference to the institution. Col. at Altoona,— on Wcdm*; day evening last, the gallant Col. (late Mnj. Anderson, the- hero of Fort Sumter, pass, through this place on the Fast Line, ot) his v. to Kentucky, his native State, to take charge the United States troops now being mustered that State. Long previous Jo, the hour lor . arrival of the train onr citizens began to fi to the depot. and by ;thc time the train arrive 1 between one thousand and two thousand per.', bad collected. So dense was the crowd tha, was deemed advisable to call out a guard to k„ a passage-way Open from the cars to the dinii; room in the Logan House. A detachment fn Company B, Capt. Turner, marched to the i pot, and succeeded in opening a -passage-tvs but it was -with difficulty■ tbey'could keep open, so heavily did the press up them. Van Tries’ Cornet Baud, of Hollidwt burg. and the Altoona Brass. Band were on t ground, and enlivened the occasion by diseoi sing excellent music. When the tiain arrive tho jam. was tremendous—every person tryi to look ascribe heal of bis neighbor to g< t Sight of the illustrious hero. He succeeded getting into the dining-room without much dii culty. While he saf; at table- those who we fortunate enough to get a window, had a fa glimpse of him. .He is a small man, not m dium height, hair lightly tinged with gray, a * a pleasant, but determined, countenance. Wh he stepped from the cars, and again when stepped Upon them, the crowd gave cheer ai cheer, 1 and a swivel in the vicinity of the w: scales'made the hills and dales re-echo at ct explosion. The Colonel 'stood upon the rt platform of the car and bowed politely to crowd as the train moved off.
