At 4 o'clock in the morning, the eaptsio of
(be gun host Ps woe*, which was lying before
the towo, had demanded tho surrender of the
rlsce. A Msjor, in command of tho Virginia
troops, refused. The csptsio then said the
eOD9 f( l ,lirnce * lerriblu to the village
and all its inhabitants, and prolonged the time
till 8 o'clock.
E*rly in the morning not far from 5 o'clock,
the ficrt of boats with the Ziuaves on board
csrnc up to tho wharf st Alexandra. Some
twenty or thirty shots were fired upon the boats
by the Secession forces as they cama up to the
whaif, but noDe were killed or wounded. The
Zouave* disembarked and literally took toe
city.
Lieutenant Pendergast, of the Seventy-first
regiment of New Yoik, was tie firßt 6oldier
who landed at Alexandra, He was in com
mand of the steamer Mount Vernon, the ves
sel which mnveyei the Fire Zouaves of New
York from ihetr cauip to that point and iu com
pany with 001. Ellsworth at :be occupation of
she city.
The Z luaves lan '.ad in good order in dou
ble quick time, each company forming in com
pany order on the street facing the river.—
Company E, Cspt. Leveridge, was the first to
disembark. Capt Levpti-jge's company was
at once detailed to destroy the railroad track
leading to Rioboiocd, which service they
oroißptly performed. After ditiiliog Com
pany E, Col. Ellsworth directed fie Adjntint
to form tho regiment, and tben with his oil,
Lieu*. Winser, and a s!e of man, started for
the telegraph office for tue pu-poie of cutting
the wires.
Col. Ellsworth and his detachment proceed
ed iu double quick time up the stieet. They
had proceeded three blocks, when the atten
tion of Col. Ellsworth was attracted by a large
secession flg flying from the M >rshsll !lou*e,
kept by J. W. Jackson. Col. Ellsworth en
tered the hotel, and meeting a man in the hall.
Asked, "Who put that fl*g up*" The man an
swered, "I don't know, I am a border here."—
Col. Ellsworth, Lieut. VYinser, the chaplain of
the regiurnt, Mr. Uouse a volunteer aid, and
four privates, went up to the roof and Col.
Ellsworth cut down the flig.
The party were returning down he stairs,
preceeded by private Fratjcis K. Brown well,
of Company A. A* they left the ariie, the
man who had said he was a border, hut who
proved to be the landlord, Jackson, was met
in the hall, having a double barrel gnu, which
he leveled at Brownell. Brownell struck up
the gun with his musket, wheu J aek*nu pulled
both triggers of th* gun. The content* lodg
ed in the body of Col. Ellsworth, entering be
tween the third and fifth ribs. Col. E'L worth
was at the time rolling up the flig. lie felt
forward on the floor of the hall and exp red
instantly only exclaiming "My God!''
Private Brownell, with the quickness of
ligb'ntttg, leveled his muaket at J .okson an 1
fired. The ball struck Jackson ou the bridge
of the nose and crashed through his skull,
kilting him instantly. A he fell Brownell
followed his shot by a thrust of the bayonet,
which went through Jackson's body.
The couipauies of Col. Ellsworth, seven
in cuuibcr, immediately pis cd themselves
so as to 'eo umani the hail* of the hotel, au I
threatened to shoot the first man who showed
his head out side of a door, lo this way they
stood for ten minutes. Their protracted ab
sence alarmed Adjutant Looser, who ordered
Company A, Cipt. Co>l*,tu search for them.
The company found ibeir commander dead,
and their comrades in possession of the hotel.
A surgeon was tbeu sent for, hut Col. Ella
worth was dead long before his arrival.
The company mach a litter of muskets, and
placing the body of the C ltu*! on it, returned
to the boat, leaving, however, a detachment
to guard the hotel, aod m.ke prisoners of ad
its occupants. The body was brought to the
Navy l'ard, awaiting the action of the war
Department.
Colonel Ellsworth's remains were deposited
In tho neat little engine house of the Navy
Yard, the fire apparatus having been removed.
They were still clad in bia uniform the breast
being shockingly lacerated by the .-lug shot.—
"They were sewed up in a red blanket. Tho
body rested ou a suull bench, covered with
She national flag, with % wreath of Sowers, the
gift of Mrs. Lincoln, upon the breast. The
building was drajed iu digs and crap*, and
a detachment of the Seveuty first detailed t>
guard it. Ail the fi iga in the city were dis
placed at half-mist, in honor of the gill-int
deceased. The faei cf his death was kept for
twuh'-mra from Lis men, !o prevent demonstra
tions of violeuce.
It is stated wheu he received the fatil shot
he dropped his sword, and seizing hold of the
elotbiug over Li* breast, tore it entirely off,
and lookiog down upon the wouui, closed bis
eyes and fell down dead without utterimg a
word
A gentlemen in Washington says I called
at the White House this morning, with Sena
tor Wilson, of Missiobusettg, to see the Pres
ident on % pressing matter of public business
and as we ontered the library vi remarked 'he
President standing before a window looking
out across the Potomac, running at the fool
of the Presidential grounds. He did not
move till we approached very cloecly, when he
turned round abruptly, an i advmiod toward*
us ,cxtendiog Li-, band: ~Excuse me," he said,
"but I cannot talk." We supposed that his
voice had probably given way from some
cause or other, and we were just about to in
quire, when to our surprise tbo President
burst into tears, and concealed hi* face io hi*
handkerchief. He walked up and down the
toom for some moments, and we stepped aside
io silence, not a little moved at such a spso
taole, in such a man, in such a place.
After composing, himself somewhat the
President took his seat, aud desired us to sp
proaeh. 4 1 will make no apology, gentlemen,"
said the President, "for my weakness-, but I
knew poor Ellsworth well, and held biui iu
Seat regard. Just as yon entered the room,
iptaln Fox left ue, after giving m? the pain
ful details of Ellsworth's unfortunate death.—
The event was en unexpected, aud the recital
so touching, that it quite unmanned too."
The Pre-ideot here made a violent ff rt to
restrain his amotions, and after a pause he
proceeded, with a tremulous voice, t> giro us
the incident* of the tragedy that h*d ooeurod.
"Poor feliowi" repeated the Presideut, as he
closed bin rotation, "it was undoubtedly an
act of rashness, hut it only shows tho heroic
spirit that animate* oar eoldiern, from high to
low, in ibis righteoas cause of ours. Yet who
eao restrain their grf to them fall in aaeb
■ way a* this, not by trio fortnoon of war, hat
by the head of an assassin?" Towatds the
the close of his remarks he added, "There is
one fiot that has reached me, which is a great
consolation to my heart, aud quite a relief af
ter this melancholy affair. 1 learu from sev
eral persons, that wheu the Stirs aod Stripes
were raised tgttiu in Alexandra, uiany of the
people ot the town actually wept tor joy, and
manifested the liveliest gratifio >tion at seeing
this famillur and iovett emblem once more
fl luting above thetu. This is another proof
that all the S >utb is not secessionist-; and i*.
is uiy earnest hope that as we advance we
shall find an msny friends as foes."
Col. Ellsworth was quite a favorite with the
{'resident and his family. The Colonel ac
companied the President as one of his 8 lite
from Springfield before Mr. Lucolu's inaugur
ation. 11J afterwards recdercd great assis
tance in a clerical way. The Presideut ad
mired him for the wonderful energy he display
ed with Lis company of Z .usves with which
he made a tour of the United States. This
tribute to the memory of Colonel Ellsworth
is highly commendable in the President, and
will he appreciated by the military ot tie
Uuited States.
The body of Col. Ellsworth was to leave
Washington by the afternoon train yesterday,
it was to be followed tj the depot by ttie
President and Cabinet, and a large body of
troop*.
The last thing Col. Ellsworth did on Thurs
day evening before leaving Washington, was
to write a letter to bU lather E D. Edswoitb.

Carrie Sp fford, at Hioklerd, 111., t > whom he
was engaged to he married. His last act, as
ne leit the tent to embark on the steamer,
wis to lo k at her portrait, aud to place it iu
his bosom.

The loyal citizens regard Col. EllswottU's d atli
as murder, and thus signify their opinion. J ickson
was begged earnestly to tn ike lio resistance, but
sw re ha would die iu the defence of his flig. He
wis a very impulsive mm. His b xly lies in the
second story of the hotel, in a colli t, wearing the
Secession uniform, with the coat buttons orn na jil
ted with the Virginia coit-of-arms. The furniture
is Ix-iiig removed from the hotel, which is now un
occupied.
Yesterday morning the remains of Colonel Ells
worth were conveyed to tho E tst room ot th •
White Uouse, where they lay iu state for sever*!
hours.
The coffin was drape*! wi'h the American flig,
and adorned with choice flowers. The face was
expose 1 to pnb'ic view.
There was as lirge an attendance of mUitary men
as could be spared fr >m duty. The body of the
decease i w is dressed i t his uniform.
The President and his family visited the rem tins
and took a fin-well took at the face of their much
loved friend, before the crowd was admitted.
Shortlv alter the capture of Alexiniria r>y Ells
worth's Z niaves, the force which wi* unrobing by
land entered the city. Upon the entrance of Ells
worth the rebel troops fled. Some of them were
intercepted.
As the Michigan regiment advanced towards Al
exiidrii they met some of the fugitive* of a
compmyot four officers and thirty-six men, com
posed of F. F. V.'s, of Fairfax county, Virgiiia,
who had been enrolled into a brilliant and dashing
cavalry cop*. They were early alarm*d by the ar
rival of the Government forces in Alexandria, and,
mounting their horses, began a precipitite retreat,
riding till they believed themselves tar beyond the
reach of pursuit upon the road. They were re
joiced to see troops advancing from the West, whom
they supposed to be reinforcements for their nil.
Rushing hastily forward, they found themselves
surrounded by the M iehigau volunteers, and sur
render, d without a blow.
They were taken ou lioard the steamer B dtintore,
Capt. West, aud conveye 1 as pris-ours of war to
tne Navy Yard. They were gaily attired, with
feathered chapeau*, apparently utconsciou* of
the fate to which their treason naturally consigns
them. Some of th an were anxious to convince
thos3 with whom they conversed that their friend*
and relations, as well as their own unbiassed sym
pathies, were on the side of the flig of our Union.
They were a crestfallen troop indeed, for some hid
already dotfc I their featherel chapeau for the
simple felt. The opt tin was a mm of fine
physiquo and carriage. Uis p'umo was sti.l aloft,
an! sjiurs in place, an 1 hi vers tek ia irked "W. W.
Bail." Doubtless bia a tourers and friends are still
in a nvtzo at his su l len trip across the Potomtc.
The Michigan l gim-nt wes the first to enter Al
exandria from the w.:st, bringing their prisoner*.
Tb.'y were followed by tho other repifneut*. Tie

rections, inste id of a single body, an I united in
the centre of tho city, on Fairi.ix street, wheu the
order wis given to put the liat'ery in battle array.
The rapidity wi'h which this ordeP was executed is
said not on<y to nave excite 1 the astouislimeut of
the people of Alexandria, especially the cavalry
troop capture I, but also the Uuited States forces
who accompanied the battery.
All the advance posts of the Federal array were
instructed to answer the challenge of the rebel
pickets, Who goes tnere f with "The Advance

The Government very properly prohibited the
passage of citiam* into Yirgiuia ou Friday, but

stationed on tbo height*.
The Z >'i ivea were at nig';! anc'rated on a int

It is rumored thit tboy have already shot three
violent Secessionists. The peoplo at Alexandria,
who were sympa!hisar with Jackson, have been
compelled to flee lor the safe'y of their lives. The

Ths resignation of U >u. Samuel A. Furviacce,
late Attorney General of tho State, is the theme of
conversation here on all sides. Everybody is ask
ing, "what is the matter f" It was as unexpected
to his own immediate personal friends as to the
outside public. On Thursday ho returned from a
visit to Washington, and on Frilay th i resignation
was banded io, couched in in tho following laconic
language :
ATROKXEY GX.XERAI'S Orricc, I
HAKRISOUBO, May 24, lßfil. j
To AXDRZW G. CCRTIN,
Governor of Pennsylcanio :
For reasons wliich appeil to my sell-respett, I
cannot consent to continue any longer in consec
tiou with your administration. 1 therefore tender
you toy tesignalioii of the office of Attorney
General of the Stite.
SAMUEL A. PURVIANCE
It is nnderstoo d thit one ol the causes which
produced this result, was the fact that the A ttor
nev General was not, in accordance witli the usual
custom, consulted in the appoiniments made.—
Francis Jordan, of Bedford, and I). A. Finned, of
Crawfoid, are spoken of as his successor.
There are ut Camp Curtiu now twenty one full
companies, but they are nst organized into regi
ments. As fast as organized, the regiments from
Pennsylvania have been ordered to West Chester,
York, Chambersburg, and Washington, and at th'.s
time the number ot troops encamped at Camp
Wayne is two thousand, at York five thousand, at
Chambersburg three thousand, at Harriaburg two
thousand, at Piftahurg two thousand, besides Amr
> or five thousand In Washington, Ptrryvillc, and
along the line of the Northern Genital Railroad,
guarding the bridges.
There has been mach complaint aga ; nst the State
Administration for tbo bad quality of clothing fur
nished to a portiou of the trowpr. It is undeniable
that many of the uniforms, blankets, and shoes
have been of the most worthless description, but it
should uot bo altogether forgotten that a considera
! bl number ot the troops have been will uniformed,
| armed, and provis oued, and I ant informed by the
very highest authority Ihat the worthless shoes and
blaukota, purebissd by an ngenf, hive not been
paid fot, and the Governor does not intend to pay
for them.
Whuo the requisition was made upon Penntylva
nia for troops, it fonnd her somewhat more desti
tute of all the mstsrirl of war, except brave men,
than aay othes Stats to lbs Union. Sbs hnd not
muskets enough to properly arm a regiment, nor a
solitary uniform ; and, in the burry of the occasion,
abuse* have occurred, whxb, under other circum.
stances, might have boon to a great extent avoided.
Additional camps along the border—at Bedford
Bedford count?, and Uuiontown, Fayette county
have been ordered, where the volunteers will be
instructed ia iheit military duties, and at the same
time be on baud to repel the enemy, should he be
••• fool hardy as to invads the soil of Pennsylva
nia. Those proposed at Erie and Easton have been
abandoned, as being too far from the scene of
action to answer the ) u-poe. Before troops could
march fiom Easton or Erie, the Confederates could
devastate the whole border and retreat into their
own country. Pixx. =>

ScrofUla, or King's Evil,
i a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this feud becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low tiring, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and iilthy hv.btts, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. "What
ever he its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation j" indeed,
it seems to be the tod of liim who says, " X
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from tha
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles: in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface,' eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of fife, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, hut they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of ether diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
ht this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise'from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
Oue quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rec.rata
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by heakhy food turd exercise.
Such a medicine w supply in
AYER'S ...
Compound Extract" of SarsapariUa,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined trom the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
ryetem from its destructive consequences.-
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Jiavrnv*
and Sxix DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE,.
ROSE, or KBTSIPELAS, PIMPI-ES, PUSTULES,
BLOTCHES, PLAINS and BOILS, TUMORS,TETTER
' and SALT RHEUM, SCALD IIF.AD, RINGWORM,
RHEUMATISM, SVPHTLITIC and MERCURIAL DIS
EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISINO TOO* VITIA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impurity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue cf this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC,
arc so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or erade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once to
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the crery-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named ie
pleased to furnish gratis iny American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints : Car-te
net i, Heartburn, Headache anting from disordered
blonuieh, yan tea. lndtgtstion, I'am in and Morbid
Inaction of the Hoxcett, Flatulency, Lou of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,!
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
ROR THE RAPID CURE OP
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide it* the field of its usefulness and so nu
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
u*e. When once tried, its superiority oTer every
other medicine of it* kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues arc known, the
public no longer Bfesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing ar.d dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, snd pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
