• The News. —The telegraph despatches
aud rumors which come to us through this
daily papers are so varied; contradictory
and imaginary that we scarce know what
to tell our readers to-day lest it should be
contradicted to-morrow, flow the Feder
al and Secession armies can long remain
enqamped within sight of each other and
not come in collision is more than we can
understand, and must bo a severe tax up
on the patience and impetuosity of the
Northern men who occupy the advanced
positions.
The daily papers tell us that Governor
Pickens, of South Carolina, has issued a
proclamation forbidding any more troops
from leaving the State, believing that the
Northern hordes contemplate an invasidu
of that State, via Charleston.
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, has became
a little uneasy since the assembling of the
convention of the Union men of that
State, at Wheeling. This convention
adopted a declaration of independence
and established a provisional government
for the State, in accordance with the Con
stitution of the United States, thereby de
posing the traitor, Letcher, who has gone
over, body, soul and breeches, to the South
ern Confederacy, and is now endeavoring
to drag the State oat with him. But there
is a host of Union men in that State who
dare .to do right, and will neither Ije driven
orjedby him, and who will, ere long, mate
his seat at Richmond too hot for him.
The balloon experiment, with telegraph
wire attached, connecting with the War
Department, made by Prof. Lowe, has
proved an entire success. He ascended to
an altitude of 1,000 feet above Washing
ton city ahdi from thence took a survey of
the country,'through a spy glass, for fifty
miles around and immediately reported to
the Department what he there observed.
The balloon is now in daily use, making
observations of the' enemy's manoouvre
ings, and it must prove of great value to
the government.
Andrew Johnson, U. S. Senator from
Tennessee, one of the purest patriots and
bravest men in the country, has arrived in
Washington city to take his scat at the
extra session which convenes on the 4th
of July. He was serenaded on the even
ing of his arrival, and responded in-jm
address which we publish in another col
umn- Let everybody read it.
The time of most of the three month
volunteers will expire within the next
thirty days, .bat the government has taken
care to anticipate the disbanding of these
by bringing forward, with great rapidity,
al! regiments tliat are ready to serve du
ring the war. The three month men
are now occupying the most advanced po
sitions under Gens. McDowell and Patter
son, and are likely to get into active ser
tfioe erc lheir thne expires, in which event
it is not likely that any will return except
those whose business positively demands
their attention; and those who remain will
enlist for three years, thereby giving to
the regular army several regiments of well
drilled troops. None of our boys would
like to come home without haying a skir-
WMsh with the rebels, and if they eannot
have it inside of three months, they will
go in for three years and be sure of it. -
The traitors in the South cause it to be
announced that, in the event of a rising
of their slaves, they will cut tho throat of
e negro over five years of age.

A captain of one of the companies' of
the. Second Connecticut regiment; near
Alexandria, Ya., was abducted in a very
singular manner on last Saturday after
noon. A lady called upon him and re
quested an escort to her home as sbe : was
afraid to go alone. He gallantly tendered
his own services, since which nothing has
been lieard of him. A very foolish trick
on his part.
Maj. Gen. McClelland is at Grafton,
Va., at the head of his command now ad
vancing through that State. The rebel
force at Romney is reported by a deserter
to be 3,500.
Gen. Butler, in command at Fortress
Monroe, has refused admittance to any
persons visiting |hat place through curios

fortress are allowed but a limited stay.—
The first shot fired from one of Sawyer’s
rifled cannon, planted ft the Rip Raps, a
short distance from the fortress, struck
the'corner of the magazine in a rebel for

was aimed. It scared -the rebels badly
and came near producing an
The rebels are not safe within four miles
of this gun. The first shot was merely an
experiment.
Gen. Lyon is pushing on the campaign
vigorously in Missouri, and will soon push
the rebels out of the State. An engage
ment took place at Cole Camp, near the
terminus of the Pacific Railroad, on the
night of the 18th inst., between, a consid
erable body of Union men, under Capt.
Cook, and ,a number of State troops. —
The State troops were forced to retreat,
with a loss of 25 killed. Twenty-three
Union men were killed.
By the arrival of the last steamer from
Europe we learn that the British govern
ment has determined to send three regi
ments of infantry and sufficient artillery
and munitions of war to reinforce ‘'the
North American garrisons. It is thought
desirable to place them in a position to
command respect from any irregular bodies
which, in a moment of excitement, might
assail them. The Paris Monitcur publish
es the declaration' that the Emperor Na
poleon intends to maintain the strictest
neutrality in the American war.
Last week a storehouse at Richmond,
containing 8120,000 worth of property
was destroyed by fire, and on Saturday
night the war steamer Glencove was burn
ed to the water’s edge. Both cases of in
cendiarism, the authors of which have not
'yet been discovered. They have now on
ly two steamers on James river.
It is said by those who have access to
official data, thatthe present available vol
unteer force is over three hundred thou

The Rebels Frightened.
A. correspondent of the New York' JPbrW
gives the following with reference to the visit of
the Commissioners of the Southern Confederacy,
who are said to have been in Washington with
in a short time past, for the pnrpose of treating
with the general government: '
It seems that Jefferson Davis, having become
thoroughly frightened; has, in a semi-official
manner, made overtures to our government.—
When his commissioners reached the Capitol
they were desired to state their case, and to tell
what they wished. They submitted two pro
positions:
First, That the United States unconditionally
recognize the existence of the Southern Con
federacy, and that the latter bo premitted for a
term of one, two, or three years, to carry on
their government ns an experiment. That the
expenses of the war thus far incurred. be equit
ably arranged between the two sections, and
that each do its best for the maintenance of
friendly feeling and intercourse between thetwo
peoples. And that if, at tho expiration of the
time agreed upon, it be found that the experi
ment cannot succeed, a commission be appoint
ed to reconstruct a Union.
Tnis proposition was peremptorily rejected.
Whereupon they modestly put Forth ; another,
as follows:
Second, The South will bo content if the Go
vernment will pledge itself to pass, at thp com
ing session of Congress, %n irrepealable Consti
tntional provision recognizing and legalizing
forever the institution of slavery below thirty
six thirty, which is tho Southern boundary hoe
of the State of Missouri. This done, tho
Southern Provisional Government pledges itself
instantly to abandon war,- and to re-establish
peace and the most cordial relationship, so far
as its section is concerned!; to re-direct the
course of trade into its accustomed channels,
and in every way restore the happy days of bur
forefathers. ' ■ “ '
As to tho reception which this preposition re
ceived, my information was positive, though
from another sonrcel gathers doubt. Uo stutes
that, it, . also, was peremptorily rejected. It
seemed to the party of the second part a mere
intensification of the Crittenden amendment,
and not varying greatly from the Adams’ pro
position. Others say that the acceptance of
this proposition would not be unacceptable to
the Secretary of State; and, therefore, will
meet with favor from the President. Between
the two I cannot decide.
Mr. Davis says that his retreat from Harper's
Ferry was a stroke of peaceful policy. He had
troops enough there to withstand any force
which General Bcott was prepared to bring
against him and it Was not 1 because be feared
the result of an engagement at that time, hat
because he knew that he had no force with
which to meet what might subsequently tent
against Mm. . The Secession Government now
rests on a hope—that hope once swallowed up
in a disastrous defeat upon the battle field
jrould prove the destruction of what it now sus
tains. He is sensible of the fact, that if once
defeated, thejre would rise such a tide of popular
indignation against him and his coworkets (that
they could in no way withstand, and ignomini
ous flight or ignominious death would be the
lot of one and all. ' , ’
A Trip to Harrisburg.
Having a few leisure heart within the pint
week, we embraced the opportunity to escape
for a while from the confines and cares of a
.printing office, and sought recreation and va
riety in a trip to Harrisburg. It did our heart
good to witness tho promising, appearance of
the wheat crop as we passed down the valley of
the Juniata. Should nothing interfere with it
within the next two weeks, the labors of the
husbandman will be more amply rewarded this
year than for several years past. The corn crop,
which covers more acres than usual, looks rather
short for this season of the year, owing to the
lateness of the spring, but a&the coming months
of July and August generally-make this crop,
we hope that it may yet prove -an average one.
From almost every housetop along the line
of tho road the glorious ensign of our nation
ality had once fluttered to the breeze—wc say
once, because the most of the bunting which
composed these ensigns was selected without
due regard to fast colors, and- the sun and rain
have obliterated the red and blue, causing them
to look more like flags of trace than emblems
of a great nation. They should either be taken
down entirely, or replaced with better ones, ns
they are now more of a burlesque than an evi
, deuce of patriotism. That many of them will
ever be replaced with now ones is doubtful.—
The mania for such displays of the feelings and
loyalty of our people has bad its day, to a cer
tain extent, nevertheless that loyalty which
prompted the first flinging out of the glorious
stars and ~ stripes, is os true, deep and abiding,
as it was.
Arrived at Harrisburg, we found it wearing a
truly martial appearance. The stars and stripes
were to be seen on almost every housetop and
at the entrance to all business places. Old and
young alike have, from continued association
with military manoeuvreings, caught the- mili
tary fever, if we may be allowed the expression.
They talk about little else than the military,
walk with measnred/tread, a la miUlaire, or, if a
faster gait be necessary, they assume the rock
ing “Zouave trot,” as it is called. At every
turn of the street, and wherever you turn your
eyes, you encounter the grim-visaged sons of
Mars, with stripes on their pants, lace on their
caps, swords, bayonets, pistols, bowie-knives,
buteber-kuives and dirks at their'' sides, and
“death to traitors” in their eyes. Everything
here goes by “left,” “left." They file around
corners, and in and out of saloons, to the time
of “left,” “left.” Boys and men, by twos or
tens, keep time to “left,’' “left.” In fact it
nothing but “left,” “left,” all over the city.
By the way, the Harrisburg Telegraph told a
good story the other day, in which this word
“left” played a conspicuous part, and we think
it will bear repeating. An unsophisticated
couple from one of the rural districts around
Harrisburg, came to the city to be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, and get a sight of
the “sojers boys.” the most important
oereniony been performed and they had
seen enough of the military, they wended their
way to the depot, and took scats in the train to
return home again. Just previous to the de
parture of the tiAip., the happy swain darted
out of the cars and down into x a neighboring
saloon to take on a little steam by swallowing a
glass of lager, and then returned to find that
the engineer of the train bad put on steam also
and moved off without him! The ladies can
imagine the feelings of the bride, and the gen
tlemen can picture the discomfiture of the groom
| under such circumstances. There was no use
in swearing, as that would not bring back the
train or help him on his journey, and he conclu
ded to bear his misfortune as philosophically as
he could until the arrival of the next train. To
divert his mind he took a stroll around the city.
Every company of two or more persons that ho
passed on the sidewalk, greeted him with the
ominous words, 'V*deft,” “left,” and as he had
not before heard them, and did not know their
meaning, he imagined that everybody knew that
he had been “left” by the train, and were thus
poking fun at him; consequently, he gave them
savage looks as they passed. Wherever he went
on-the streets, in hotels, or saloons, everybody
repeated tbo words “left,” “left,” and he coaid
And no rest. At last ho became enraged and
declared that he would no longer remain in a
town where everybody knew of his misfortune
and were continually casting it np to him, and
he therefore took “Walker's Line” and left for
the next station:
As is qur usual custom, we put up at the
United States Hotel, a short distance above the
depot, and found everything in etalu quo. This
house is one of tho most orderly to be
anywhere. Mr. Ten Eyck, the proprietor, knows
how to “keep i hotel” as well as any other man
in Harrisburg. His table is always supplied
With the choice of the market, and every atten
tion necessary to comfort and convenience is
given.
■ On Friday morning we -witnessed the arrival
of the 2d Begiraent of Bhode Island Volunteers,
under command of Col. Slocum. They arrived
over the Lebanon Valley Rail Rood, direct from
New York. They numbered eight hundred in
fantry, two hundred artillery, with a well-ap
pointed battery of six rifled cannon, one hun
dred horses, and a full equipment of camping
materials. They were a splendid looking body
of men, and the uniforms they; wore presented
a striking contrast with those worn by tho Penn
sylvania Volunteers. Gov. Sprague, and other
Executive officers of the State accompanied the
regiment. A brief and pleasant interview took
place between Gov. Sprague and Gov. Curtin,
at tho U. S. Hotel. Gor. S. is quite a small
man, and looks yonng to occupy the position he
does; nevertheless, there is something mpre
thin ordinary in the shape of hia head, and he
talks like a true patriot.
During the day we visited Camp Curtin, and
wo must confess that we observed nothing there
which would load us to desire a soldier’s life,
but on tho contrary many things which would
cause us to consider well the privAtions and
hardships we Would be compelled to encounter.
Asmart shower of rain had fallen in the morn
ing, and the main thoroughfares of tho camp
were about an inch deep with mod, and the
drill-ground was almost covered with pools of
water, making it anything else than pleasant to
go through the manoeuvres of a squad. ‘ But
few of the men on the ground, some 4,000 in
number, bod received their uniforms, and the
clothes of many of them looked as though they
needed a supply at as early a day as possible.
Many of the men with whom we conversed in'
the morning, complained that they had been
kept so long in the camp without any prospect
of getting into active service. They were tired
of the monotonous life they there led. We were
on the ground at noon when two regiments,
in one of which was the celebrated “Back
Tails,” from the regions of Clarion, Elk, Potter,
&c., received their orders to get ready to march
that evening, to proceed over the Penn’a R. R.
and Huntingdon & Broad Top R R. to Hope
well, and from thence march across the country
on foot to the relief of Gel. Wallace, at Cum
berland, Md., who was occupying that place
with a regiment of Indiana Zouaves, and was
being advanced upon by a party of 4,000 or
5,000 Secessionists, To attempt?- to describe
the scene which this order created would be
folly. The prospect of being moved from their
present quarters, and the hope of getting into
active service immediately, so elated the men
that they gave vent to their joy in terrific yelling,
whooping, and every other manner possible. It
was with difficulty that the officers could keep
them quiet long enough to give them their or
ders. We saw them again when we passed
through Huntingdon, on Saturday, and they
were all in fine spirits. In our opinion the
“Buck Tails” could frighten an army by yelling,
if in no other way.
The Pennsylvania Fifth.
We Lave before us a copy of a paper
bearing the above title, published in Al
exandria, Va., by the printers in the Fifth
Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. On
entering that town the U. *S. troops took
possession of two or three secession print
ing offices, and by permission of the of
ficers of the regiment, they issue a neat
and spicy sheet, weekly, from one of the
offices. A portion of the paper is set iu
the German language. Wc make a few
selections from the original articles in the
number before us;

is receiving attention now, and when the rebels
who are lying nronnd the Junction bear the
shrill whistle of the engine as it bears the
thousands of bristling bayonets down upon
them, they will make, no doubt, as inglorious a
flight as, they did when we occupied Alexandria.
In the hurried flight of the traitors, as we came
down on them, from here, they had not time to
take all the valuable railroad machinery away,
and they could not destroy it. ' There,is left
some forty miles of railroad iron; an immense
supply of bar wheels; timber, and everything
needed to build and keep a road in order.
The large stock of material ou hand, isaccou t
ed for by the fact that they always bought every
thing any one tvould sell on credit and neverpaid.
any one.
The road is in a miserable condition. The
shops and depot are all dirty and slovenly, on
all sides are half used and broken implements
and cars. A more wretched, villianous and
wasteful management of a railroad was never
seen, unless matters grow worse as wo go South.

next issue wo hope to have a time table, and
regular trains to “i/o/awcj Gap" and “Leesburg."

Speech of Andrew Johnson.
The special corespondent of Forney's Prut
gives the following extract form the speech of
Hon. Andrew Johnson, ou the occasion of a
serenade, given him in Washington city a few
evenings ‘office: " :
He said that Mr. .Lincoln had done:no more -
than his duty, and that if he had done less, be
would have deserved the falter himself. He
said he stood by the President in alibis acts, i
and called upon all good citizens everywhere to !
do the same. Let millions of money be ex
pended, let oar most precious blood be poured i
ouf; bat above and before all things* let the
Union and Constitution be preserved. !
The Speaker showd clearly that the. war was |
not brought about by the North, but in the ful* I
filment of every citizen’s privilege— j
the election of our Chief Magistrate, which
was done honestly and fairly.
There arose in the South a few dishonest pol
iticians, who were bound to break up the Union
ijind the Government. Then was practically in
augurated the principle of secession. South
Carolina must first make friends with the hydra
headed monster, and thrust its acquaintance
upon the other Southern States by its brutal
assault on Fort Sumpter, thus causing blood to
How and the cannons to reverberate over tho
Sauth, until every Southerner shou!J ; be filled'
with the spirit of war.
He showed that the doctrines of secession
would utterly abandop the idea of ever construc
ting another Republic, because its tendency
was to destroy and not to inaugurate -any sys
tem of equality among men, and destroy that
principle which enable men to govern them- |
selves. Hence, to acknowledge the doctrine of J
secession would be to invite despotism and an- j
archy. And shall wc permit it? [Cries of “Noi'i
.No! Never! 1”]
The line of march has already begun on !
| Washington, the capital of our nation, founded j
b'y the fatherof our country, George Washington; j
and, my friends, let met tell you that anarchy I
[ and destruction are treading closer upon your !
| heels than you arc aware, if you allow this
| principle or Us advocates to gain a foothold
> upon the soil of American freedom.
This man Beauregard, or no regard (cries of
blackguard,) as some call him, fired upon our
gallant Anderson when he was informed that he
and his men were upon the point of starvation,
and would evacuate the fort in three days, un
less supplied with provision. Pryor was there,
and desired that the cannon’s roar should be
heard by Virginia, as that State was then wav
ering on the point of secession, and be dekired
to make her decide in favor of “protection of
the rights of the South.” Hence, tbowar upon
a little band of the most gallant, though starv
ing men, in the service.
He referred to the historical records of the
| past to prove the spirit of anarchy among bad
j men, and proved the present Suutheln move
ments to eclipse them all.
What principles have we lost by the cohtinu
ance of this Union? [Cries Of “none,”] Then
stand by it! [“We will,” “we will.”] Compro
mise i Where can compromise bo found but in
the Constitution of tbo United States? I look
upon it as one of the best compromises that
ever could be made. (“Good!” “good!”) Hence
I look upon it os oiir GoJ-blddcn duty to stand
by it; by the Government which was framed by
Washington; which was sustained by Jackson;
which was fought for by our good bid patriot
Scott. (“Bravo!” and “Huzza forGqn. Scott,”
and the cheers heartily given.”)
He then paid a very high complimentto Gen
eral Scott. ■
He believed Soulh Carolina and the whole
South would he as quiet as a lamb if the old
man Jackson had been at the head of the na
tion last fall; and could Clay and Webster re
spond to their cries of compromise, it would be
as it often has been, in the language of Andrew
Jackson: “The Federal Union—it must and
shall bo preserved.”
They may burn onr fields, destroy oar pro
perty, nay, our best blood may and will he
sacrificed, but East Tennessee cannot be convert
ed into a land of slaves! They may; confiscate
my little property I own in Tennessee. My life
may he required to lay upon the alter of my
country, tut let my couniry be saved.' She is
right, and right and justice must prevail, while
the stars and stripes continue to float over us.
Wise Making an Ass of Himself Again
At a serenade at Richmond, the irrepressible
Wise made one .of bis rambling and incoherent
speeches. He is now content to play second
fiddle to Jeff. Davis. We quote as follows:
The call is for action.* 1 rejoice in this war.—
Who is there that now darcs-to put on sanctity
to deprecate war, or tho “horridglories of war.”
None, Why? Because it is a war of purification.
You want war, fire, blood, to purify you; and
the Lord of Hosts has demanded ’tbat you
should walk through firo and blood. You are
called to the fiery baptism, and I call upon you
to come up to the altar. Though your pathway
be through fire, or through a river of blood,
tran not aside. BO in no baste—no ’ hurry and
flurry. Collect yourselves—summon yourselves
—elevate yourselves to the high and sacred duty
of patriotism. The man who dare* to pray, the
man who dares to wait until some magic aTm is
put into his hand; the man who will hot go un
less ho have a Minie, or percussion musket, who
will not be content with flint and steel, or even
a gun without a lock—is worse than a cowared
—bp is a renegade. If he can do no better, go
to a blacksmith, take a gun along as asample,
and get him toeonake you one like it. Get a
spear—a lance. Take alesson frgm John Brown;
Manufacture your blades from old iron, even
though it bo the tires of your cartwheels. Get
a bit of carriage spring, anil grind ahd burnish
it in the shape of n bowie’knife, and put it to
any sort of a handle, so that it bo strong—ash,
hickory, oak. But, if possible, get a double
barreled gun and a dozen rounds of buckshot,
and go upon the battle field with these; If the
enemy’s guns reach further than yours, reduce
the distance, meet them,foot to foot, eye to eyo,
and body to body, and when you strike a blow,
strike home. Yonr true-blooded Yankee will
never stand still in the presence of cold steel.—
Let your aim, therefore, be to get into close

A GoOD-BYK KtSS GIVES UNDER; Dirncui,-
ties. —As the Eighth Ohio Regiment was going
from Cleveland to £amp Dennison, Capt. Buck
ingham supposed the train would stop at Crest
line, and notified his. wife. Unfortunately, the
orders were to pass through Crestline without
stopping. The train, however, slocked up u
little, but'tfae rate of speed was still high. The
gallant captain saw his wife on the-platform,
made a desperate spring, clasped her in his arms,
kissed her quickly, and, under tremendous ap
plause from his comrades on board, sprang hack
on the flying train, having barely time to catch
the rear car.
The Sharp Shooters.— Mr. Berdan who has
been active in organizing the regiment of crack
shots, has received more than five hundred ap
plications, by letter, front sharp-shooters, who
are desirous of joining this regiment, and who
can send targets within the limits of the require
ment, properly attested. Detachments from this
regiment will he sent forward, ami placed'at
the disposal of General Scott, as fast as sub
scriptions are-made for equipping the men. -
