Deah Sin; —l leafned from General Bicldle, Adjutant Genera),- and my Aid, Colonel R. Bid dle Roberts, that the condition of the Pennsyl vania troops now in Washington City was dis graceful s to the State, and, what is more im portant, that the men were actually-suffering, both from want of proper clothing and a Bmse of shame. It is, of conrse, useless tossy tp ypnhdw mortified I am at such a condition of things, and how determined that the. same shaßbc at once remedied, so far as is inmy power.

An agent will be sent with the clothing and other equipments and it is my desiro that you-remain in Wash ington City, or wherever the regiments may be,iintill'yon see that my wishes and directions in this respect have been fully carried oat.

Yours truly, A. G. CURTIN, The gentleman appointed to visit the troops, has been at Washington, and re ports to the Governor that he found them, even in a worse condition than was re ported, and immediate steps have been taken to furnish them, os well as all others who have been thus treated, with good uniforms and camp equipage.

We hope it may speedily be done WrOn Sunday last oar citizens were most egregiously humbugged by a tele graphic dispatch reporting (hat a battle had token place at Sewell's Point, in which the battery at that, place was captured, with a loss to the ,U. 8. troops, of 84 killed, and 100 wounded; and to the rebels, ot 200 killed, 300 wounded, -and 600 taken prisoners.— How anch reports are put in circulation, th'e proprietors of daily papers know best. : par people are beginning to “smell a mice,” and will soon place no reliance upon telegraphic news, and the conse quence will be a diminution of' patronage to daily papers. MU from a letter received by a gentle man of this place, yesterday evening, from a friend at Ghambersburg, we learn that the TJ. 8. troops which have for some time been encamped at York are now at that place, the camp at York hay ing been bro 4e» up.

The very important iiptice has ! lssa6 bjr#he Auditor 'general an(B State Treasurer of this 6>tate, There seems to be arrest misunderstanding ex-1 is§og jathe public mind as to the guards throUm around the HHitary Bill passed by the Legislature at their extra session, appropriating $3,000,000 for the purposes therein named. The action of the above authorities shows that they are aware of their power, and fully recognize their re sponsibility. They will audit no bills for supplies or materials, until they are subjected to the moat rigid and careful examination, and shown to be correct. — This is right, and as it should be. The honor of the State —the loyalty of her brave sons who have so nobly responded to her demand—their comfort and protec tion —all demand of the State authorities, who have the distribution of the war fund, that they exercise the utmost vigilance and care that the money is judiciously and properly expended. We insert the .no tice, as follows; TO COSTEACTOBS FOR SUPPLIES We hereby give notice to all those who may be contracting to furnish supplies to the State, under the recent appropriation of three millions, that having received the power under that Act of appointing inspectors of all supplies, and other power also in reference to the settlement of claims, which was not delegated to us under the previous Act of April 12th, we shall hold every contractor to the,most rigid accountability in the settlement of his claims, and the inspec tion of his.supplies must be of that character which shall prevent any imposition upon the State, and protect the volunteers who havtj so nobly responded to its call; and no supplies will be paid for until they have been inspected by officers who shall have been duly appointed for that purpose. x XIIOS. E. COCHRAN, Audstor General. M&* In our last, we predicted that from the rapid movements of the U. S. troops, we would have important news ere an other issue. "We have had important news, which will be found detailed under the head of “War News,” in another column. We have had much more news than is there given, but the most exciting and only part worth publishing, turned oat to be bogus. An advance has been made into Virginia, for the purpose of effectually preventing ’the secessionists from attacking Washington city. The movement has been successful, and the city it is now thought is perfectly secure; put it has been at the cost of one of the most promising, brave and effective meU in the U. S. forces—Col. Ellsworth, com mander of the New York Fire Zouaves. The particulars of his murder, for we can call it nothing less, will be found in an | other column. The men of his command will avenge hita ten fold, if they get the opportunity. Gen. Butler is manceuvre ing with his forces in the neighborhood of Fortress Monroe, but where he intends to strike first we have no idea.

As deserters begin to leave the camp of the traitors we also begin to gain information ot the dioipliue, confidence and anticipations among the rebels. There is very little doubt that great dissatisfaction exists in those en campments, and that the closer the proximity' of the rebel troops to the free states, the greater this dissatisfaction becomes. The fol-, lowing, from the Lancaster Express, throws ad ditional light on the subject : ■ The soldier who deserted from Harper’s Ferry to Cbambcrsburg, made a little revela tion full of significance. He says they want clothing, shoes, food—his own condition pro ved bis statement—without a change he had worn his shirt till it was black. They have transferred the unmerciful harshness of the plantation to the camp—from the negro to the soldier—many of them compelled to go into the army against the Union they love, they will shot to miss. When the opposing forces get near enough together—the proximity of free dom favoring it—they will descst in swarms. they are only training those men to blow •out their, brains from the opposite ,ranks—till then, their army carries so much for nothing. Were that force of 10,000 to approach a force of 10,000 on our side, near the Pennsylvania line, in three days they wonld dwindle to’ 7,000 —ours would swell to 13,000 —the 3000 burn ing with indignation for the outrages of which they had been the victims. ''How they -would pick out tho officers who hod thus treated them I What would an army amount to when its of ficers were killed?—confusion! Gen.

Bsltimobi, May 26.—John Merrynaan, a '’wealthy and highly respectable citizen of Balti more county, aati,Pre»ident of iho Maryland I Agricultural Society, was arrested last night at i his residence, by a Government officer, brought i to the city this morning, add taken to Fort Mc i llcnry. He is charged the bridges |on the Northern Cental Railroad. It is nnder ! stood that he says be acted by the anthority of the Mayor and Board of Police Commissioners HENRY D. MOORE. State Treasurer. Washwoton, May 24, 1861 Yesterday the Federal military authorities determined to mnkean advance onAlexaudri*. Accordingly, orders were. issued to such of i the troops as were to more The New York ; Regiment of Fire Zouaves, under Col Ellsworth, j embarked in boats, and arrived first at Alexan- ; dria at about two o’clock this morning. • ( They were received with a volley of musketry 1 from the wharf as their boats approached, but j no one was injured. Having landed, they pro- j needed to take complete possession of the town, ; raising the Stars and Stripes, and pulling down ' the Secession flags. i About four o’clock, as Col. Ellsworth was coming down stairs in the Marshall House, bearing on bis shoulders a rebel fisg that he bad pulled down, he was shot by Jackson, the proprietor of the hotel, and expired instantly Jackson was immediately killed by some pri vates of the Zouaves. Although there were numerous reports of others having been killed, Ellsworth’s, and Jack son’s were the only cases of loss of life, while no one was wounded. The death of Ellsworth has created a general feeling of gloom in he has ■been well known and prominently before the public ever since the first of March. x He was small in stature, and apparently not more than twenty-five years of nge. To-day numerous flags are hung at half-mast, - out of respect to his memory. His remains are laid out at the Navy Yard, with the American colors over them, and the rebel flag that he captured at bis feet. A disposition to take a horrible revenge prevails among the Zouaves. Some of them and of the other troops ate ear nestly desirous to lay Alexandria in ashes be fore nightfall. Owing to the large force of Federal troops in and near Alexandria, it is not probable that the rebels will make any attempt to advance on the city. ' ' The New Y'ork Seventh Regiment arc on the Virginia side of the I’Otomao on Arlington Heights. - Washington, May 24 I j A company of rebel cavalry, thirty-five in -number, were captured near Alexandria; this I morning, and have been brought to the Wash j ington navy-yard. I ' Passengers from Alexandria state that the ! Zouaves have been amusing themselves by ri ding-about on the captured horses. Other Se /ccSsionists are also in custody.’ The United States troops ore quartered in the Marshall House. At 2 o'clock this after noon, the body of Jackson, the proprietor of the Marshall House, still lay where he was killed. The troops between this city and Alexandria have made good progress in throwing up en trenchments. Col. Wilcox, of the Michigan Regiment, is in command of Alexandria. * The ferry boatabetween Washington and Alex andria will resume their trips next week. The flags all over the city ore at half mast to-day and bells tolling in respect to the mem ory pf Col, Ellsworth. It is probable that his remains will be brought to the President’s house, and conveyed thence to the cars to-mor row afternoon, to be transferred to New York, of which State be was a native. He was about 24 years of age. There are abonf^twelve Secessionists under charges in the common jail. . Many of the troops there are in readiness to march at a moment's warning. Washington, May 25. The rcmainS of Col. Ellsworth were this morning conveyed to the cast room of the White House, where they lay in state for several hours. The coffin was draped with the American flag, and adorned with choice flowers. The face was exposed to public view. Many persons, princi pally military, visited the room. The body of Col. Ellsworth was opened and embalmed by Dr. Holmes, the inventor of the embalming pro cess. Western Virginia is an exception to the order of the Post Master General for theTAopprige of the mails in the seceded States. Every facility .will be afforded for postal accommodations in that section. There is a great deal of coal on-the way from Cumberland, Md.. to Tide Water/ The princi pal or only difficulty in the way of tho passage to Tide Water, is the refusal of the rebel troops at Harper’s Ferry to allow boats to pass that point. From present indications this obstruc tion will probably not continue. Capt. Fox has just made an official report of the circumstances attending the killing of Col. Ellsworth to the President. It appears that Ellsworth was marching up the streets with a squad of men to take pos session of’the telegraph office, when, in passing along, he noticed a secession flag flying from the top of a building. He immediately ex claimed, “That has to come down,” and, enter ing the building, he made bis way up to the roof with one of his men, hauled down the rebel emblem, wrapped it around his dJUliy, and then descended. While on the second floor, a Seces sionist came oat of a door with a cooked double barrelled shot-gun. He took aim at Ellsworth, when the latter attempted to strike the gun out of the way with his fist. As he struck it one of the barrels was discharged, lodging a whole load of buckshot in Ellsworth’s body, killing him instantly. His companion instantly shot the murderer through the head with a revolver, making him a corpse a second or two after the fall of the noble JEllsworth. The house was immediately surrounded, and all the inmates made prisoners. ; /, It is stated that when he received the fatal , shot, ho dropped his sword, and seizing hold of j his clothing over his breast, -tore it entirely off, : looked down upon the wound, closed bis eyes I and fell down dead without uttering a word; ( Before hauling down the secession’ flag bim j'self, he politely but vainly requested his mur derer to remdvc the odious emblem. The Zouaves were so enraged at the assassi nation of their Colonel that the other regiments Were compelled w surround them anJ put them on board the Powhatan, in order to keep them from burning the city. The greatest conster nation imaginable exists among the members of the regiment / The government has secured all the products of all the arms manufactories and cannon foun dries in Great Britain, which are permitted to make arms for foreign States, for three months to come. This decisive movement will at once strengthen the government in its efforts to put dowu rebellion, and will also serve the further purpose of convincing the British government that there is to be no half way work in the pending war. ■ A portion of the New Jersey brigade, While distant some three miles from Alexandria, this forenoon, were fired upon from an ambush, but the fire was returned with such effect that the assailants quickly dispersed. There have been further captures of British vessels homeward bound, with valuable cargoes, that were attempting to run the blockade.— What disposition will bo made of them is not known, hot it is thought they will be condemned. The Governmeat is fully determined that the blockade it has instituted shall be respected, no matter what the flag that the mast-, head. President Lincoln has decided, at the instance of J. K. Moorhead, Edgar Cowan, Wm. F. John ston, and other-prominent and influential citi zens of Pennsylvania, to accept oil the volun teer regiments now raised in the State. The Chambeekßueg, Pa., May 23.—0 n Wednes day night a party of Virginians attempted to capture a ferry boat on the Potomac, near Clear Spring, Md. Notice war given to the Union men of Clear Spring, three miles distant, who turned out to guard the boat. During the night the Virginians seitTed the boat, but were fired upon by the guard, and when midway across, had to abandon the prize and escape in a skiff. It has been reliably as certained that two of the Virginians were shot. The ferry boat was returned again to the Mary land shore. No reinforcements have,reached Williamsport. All' is quiet here. . CnAMßEßsnunc, May 24—The officers who recently made a reconnoisance as far as Har per’s Ferry, report that they learned there that a sentinel had been captured by means of n lariat, about a week before, from the camp here, and was carried to Harper’s Ferry. There he had been bung up twice, to force him to im part information to the rebels, with what result I was not known. It is certain that a sentinel was 1 missed, andsupnosed to have deserted, and this I information convinced the officers .that the sus picion was unjust. ‘ Washington, May, 24.—Postmaster General Blair prepared an order to day discontinuing the tiansmission of the United States mails in Vir ginia and other seceding States, and nuulling all contracts for the same. Tennessee is ex cepted from the operation of the order, for the reason that that State has not formally seceded. This course of the Postmaster General is under the act in relation to the subject passed at the . Aast session of Congress. The contractors wit 1 be immediately notified of this decision. The mails for the Sjuth from Washington were stopped at a crossing place by the federal troops,, and Were returned to the post-office here. ; Feankfoet, May 22.—The House, bill to arm the State was rejected to-day by a vote of 48 yeas to 42 nays—the Constitution requiring an affirmative vote of 61 to appropriate any sum over §lOO. The resolution declaring that (he Governor’s Proclamation of the 20th contains the true posi tion that Kentucky should occupy between the Federal Government and the Rebel States was rejected. An act amending the .State militia law, by which the State Guard are required to swear to support the Constitution of the . United States and that of Kentucky, was passed by a vote of 49 yeas -to 38 nays. Cn.MißEnsnuKO, May 27. The Virginia troops opposite Williamsport have been reduced to 400. Scarcely a night passes that heavy desertions do not occur. A strict guard is still maintained on both sides of the river. The troops of Harper’s Ferry have fallen back from the town proper, to Bolivar, a suburb. . About sixty negroes are engaged in making a road up the mountain, on the Maryland side, to accelerate the passage of troops and heavy field pieces. Ex Governor Frank Thomas, the‘-Old War Horse ” was nominated for Congress at Frede rick, Maryland, qn Saturday, on the twentieth ballot, for the district composed of Washington, Frederick, ohd AHeghany counties. He is an unconditional Union man, and will receive nine* tenths of the votes of the district. Cincinnati, May 22.—A special-dispatch to the Commercial, from Frankfort, Ky.,' says: Tho House has concurred in the Senate amend ment, requiring the State Guard to take the oath to support the Constitution of the United State?. Mr. Rousseau made a strong Union speech in the Senate in favor of sustaining the Federal Government. He said he did not consider that the Union was now dissolved, and had no fears that it ever would be. The time had passed for appeals to politicians not to dissolve the Union. Tufts of grass had been tried, and we would now see what virtue there is in stones. Boston, May 25.—The armed steamer South Carolina, Commander Alden, sailed last night for Fort Pickens. She has 137 men, and takes 100 seamen for the fleet; also, ten-inch mortars, rifled cannon, and other war munitions. We clip the following from the special dispatches to the I’ress, dated Washington, May 27 th Six membersNof the Michigan Regiment and six Zouaves advanced this morning beyond the j outside pickets, about fourteen miles into the | interior, from Alexandria, where they arrested I n man with a Secessions fi%. His name was Reed, and he was from Alexandria. He was brought in and made to march through the streets between two soldiers, and there tramp the flag and lie down: upon it. Last eyening, * car,’ containing butter, cheese, eggs, floui*, &c., was seized by the Zou aves, four miles out from Alexandria, at a break in the railway. It was accompanied by eighteen men in citizens’ dress, who were proved to be long to the ranks of the rebel army. The goods and men were placed in charge of a strong guard, to await orders from headquarters. Captain Waddel, of the Fifth .Massachusetts regiment, reports that several men arrived in Alexandria yesterday, who have recently been drummed out of the Southern army for refusing to obey orders. They were orginally from Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and had been im pressed into the service while living in the South. They report twenty thousand troops within twenty five miles of Alcsandaia. They are proved not to be impostors, from the fact that many of the Massachusetts men recognized them as being old acquaintances. Washington, May 28.—Information has been received here that over 2,000 Ohio troops from Camp Dennison yesterday took possession of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad from Par kersburg to Grafton, a distance of eighty miles intervening, and proceeded in the latter direc tion. A larger number also crossed below Ohio, three miles from Wheeling, for the same desti nation. This is indicative of events at Harper’s Ferry. Munitions of VTab.— At tho Washington Navy Yard large numbers of workmen are busy preparing cartridges and loading shells. After the charge is placed in them, the shells are painted and cjich one carefully packed in a box, on which the size and description of the shell is marked. They are as neatly and carefully packed as though they were to be sent by Adams & Co.’s express, instead of a mortar into the enemy’s camp. Visitors arc admitted into the Navy Yard, but they are strictly pros hibited from speaking to tho workmen. Killkd at Si.

J. .He had gone to' that city on business, designing to return home last week; but, through an unfortunate desire to witness the capture of the secessionists, was pressent in tho melee, aed received a gunshot wound, from the effects of which he has since died.

Messrs. Editors:—Time with its flefcty wings has borne us ou through another with aa much prospect of leaving os when I wrote last. Among the many occur rences which happened through the week, was the arrest ing of a man in camp, on the charge of being a secession ist. From the facts of the case, it appears that ho had been living in Baltimore for some time although a native of York; he,'however, left the Monumental'Clty, and came to Camp Scott, and, among other remarks in tho crowd, talked favorably of secession. An officer approached him and demanded him to show his colors, whereupon ho pulled out a card with a secession flag imprinted thereon, lie was immediately taken into custody, brought into Col, Stumbaeqh's quarters, and Anally sent to jail. Next morn ing, in default of evidence against him, be was released. It is quite evident that ho was no spy, and probably no secessionist; however, ho will,doubtless, not display any mose secession flags in this vicinity. Jeff davis was hung in effigy and afterwards taken down and burnt, by a Franklin couuiy company. It was an amusing sight. All the flags in town are displayed at half-mast, in mem ory of tho gallant young Ellsworth. Nothing could havo transpired in the present rebellion, which could cause more/ profound sorrow, than tho assassination of one so young uud brave.

SnoF.MAik.zn, Pnc.vinxs, Lowtueb’ and life supper was served up at the Logan Hou - : on Thursday evening last, at half-past 0 o'clock About fifty persons were present dnd partook . a repast which, for richness and variety, won! have done honor to the “Continental” or “St tharlcs.” It was a grand supper, cmbraclr., fish, flesh and fowl, vegetables it. season.and ou of season, aubstantials and luxuries, with a win. up of desserts “too numerous to mention.” \V are pleased to note that there was no wine o other spiritnous liquors at the banquet, but in absence of these did not in the least detrao , from the “feast of reasomind the flow of soul.’ ; The repast elicited the universal praise of th guests, and fully sustained the high rcputatioi of the proprietors of the Logan House as cater ere for the most cultivated tastes. A vote o thanki unanimously tendered them. \ The supper over, Gen. Potts arose and state _ the object of the meeting antf supper, and te- ■dcred to Mr. Hall the compliments of those pre ent, assuring him of their high regard for hi: as a fellow citizen, and tht-ir approbation of h course as a public officer, and more particular as the ropresentative of this Senatorial l)ls*r; At the conclusion of Gen, P.’s remarks, J: Hall arose and responded in an address occu; ing some ten or fifteen minutes. He thank those present, in very, courteous terms, for ti evidence they had thus given him of their a; proval of his public acts us their representath in State Senate, and also of their kind fcclin, toward him. Be referred to the fact of his ha ing settled in Altoona a briefless barrister, son six years since, with bat little expectation th; he would now occupy the position of Speaker the Senate of the great and noble State of Pen sylvnnia—also to the fact that this district a; county had been honored by having two of h< representatives, in succession, elected to the pci tion of Speaker of. the Senate —referring to 110 John Cresswell, of 'lloU'dnysburg, who tv; elected in 1858, and himself. lie then refern teethe difficulties of the njition and express' [ his sentiments thereupon in a manner v, 1 11 . met with universal approval and showed th: he was the right man in the right place ia tb ericis. He was frequently cheered duriug tl delivery of bis remarks, which were well r ccived by all present. Calls were then ma for'speeches from others who were present, 1 all delined, except l)r. Gemini H.. He put 1, .plea for the profession he represented, to t effect that they, as a general thing, were i speakers, and generally conveyed informal! more readily by an ominous shako of the k-; and a wise look! than they did by much talkj He then adverted to the difficulties of the I tion, by which party lines had been ohliterat and alluded in a patriotic manner to the I! a add the Stars and Stripes. He was frcqtjen cheered. - On leaving the table, the party retired to spacious parlors in the east wing of the ho Where they indulged in singing thei“Star Sp gled Banner” and other national airs, and. gaged in social conversation until the ql struck twelve, when the party begin to din ish—all leaving well pleased with their ca tainment. Mr. Hall may well feel proud of the reap entertained for him by his fellow citizens, w out distinction of party, because in this insta party was not thought of. Party feeling, so aswc can judge, is “among the things t were’ in Altoona. And the,people of Alto should and do feel proud of thcr represents who, by his actions has won for himself a na throughout the State, and so high a placi the opinion of his colleagues the affair Still higher honors we feel confiu •wait him,- IC|L Tremendous high wind prevailed at piece on Monday last, demolishing awnii eipt-boerdß, &c.
