THE NEWS
—Nothing of importance from the
army to-day. Regiments continue to
increase in numbers at Washington
and other Camps. Very soon the pro
gramme of the Government will be
made public, when the traitors will be
made to feel the power of a loyal peo
ple.
" Occasional" of the Press, wisely
says :—" let us be patient. Let us re
pose full confidence in our public ser
vants at Washington. It is not neces
sary for the loyal States to hasten
events. Gad has taken possession of
our cause, and He is guiding it. Every
hour adds to the great virtue of the
movement in which we are engaged,
and detracts from the rebellion of those
who are opposing us. If it were nec
essary, to save our reputation, that a
dash should be made into Virginia, it
might be done to-morrow. But this is
not necessary. Virginia is as sensible
of the potential elements enlisted on
the side of our free institntions as she
is sensible of the wickedness and weak
ness 9f the Secession experiment.—
When it becomes necessary for the
army of the advance to move upon the
rebellion, it will be fully prepared for
the consequences, and those who are
now demanding that it should move
upon the mission at once, will be sur
prised to find how much common sense
there has been in the policy that has,
up to this period, animated the veteran
who presides over the army of the
United States—Lieutenant General
Winfield Scott."
—Samuel Hanna, for many years
in the post office of Camden, New Jer
sey, has been arrested, and is now im
prisoned in the common jail at Camden.
He is charged with being a bearer of
despatches to Gov.Letcher, of Virginia.
—" North Carolina has passed an
ordinance of secession unanimously."
So the Governor telegraphs to Jeff.
Davis.
It is said that Commodore Maury
soon after the election of Lincoln was
ascertained, wrote to influential per
sons abroad that the Government
would soon be broken up, and that
the sooner European Governments
recognized the Southern Confederacy,
about to be established,•the better.—
Being better known in Europe, through
his contributions to nautical science
than most other Americans, there is
an apprehension that his advice will
not be without weight.
The Phila. Press of yesterday
says :—" Yesterday morning the steam
tug America arrived at this port, hav
ing in tow the ship General Parkhill,
of Charleston, and taken while at
tempting to make that port on the re
turn trip from Liverpool.
The folloWing is an extract from
the Montgomery correspondence of
the Charleston Courier, under date of
May 11:
"I understood from a gentleman
just arrived from Pensacola, that Gen.
Bragg expressed himself ready to
commence an attack on Pickens yes
terday. He has computed that in
capturing the fortress 3,000 lives will
be lost on our side. lie says the place
cannot be taken at a lesser sacrifice.—
From the great preparation in the
Medical Bureau, I am inclined to think
a speedy attack is premeditated.—
Surgeons seem to be in demand, and
instruments and medicines more so.—
Each day several of the disciples of
Galen aro despatched with their saws
and torniquets to the scone, and nearly
all of them, on leaving, have Men as
sured that they will soon have ' some
body' that is hurt' to attend to."
VIRQINIA.—To-day the people of
Virginia, aro to vote on the Secession
ordinance lately adopted by a Conven
tion, a large majority of whom were
chosen as Union men. Under the sys
tem of terrorism that prevails through
the greater part of Virginia, we do
not doubt that the ordinance will be
adopted by a large majority, though
we have strong doubts about the vote
being a large one. kt:raugements have,
however, been made by the rebel au
thorities tb use the soldiers now in
service in Virginia, first as voters and
then as regulators of the election:—
Any Union men that may venture to
make a demonstration, will fare badly.
VB`• The State of Mississippi has ta
ken the school fund to buy implements
of war for traitors and rebels. This is
the last act of a Commonwealth which
repudiated its honest debts, and pro
duced a President for a Confederacy
of Pirat-cm.
The Desire to Forget Party
No one can successfully bring the
charge against the loyal citizens of
this county, (with but very few excep
tion,) that they seek to keep alive old.
partizan prejudices or animosities.—
All feelings of this kind have been
swallowed up in the whirling waters
of patriotism and devotion to our
country and our country's flag. Those
men who now stand unflinchingly by
the Government in this its hour of need
and peril without reservation or equiv
ocation, and who have previously been
the supporters of the administration
of Mr. Buchanan, or favored the elec
tion of Breckinridge, if possible, are
welcomed with more joy and exulta
tion into the Union legions than those
who gave their suffrages to either
Douglas, Bell or Lincoln. Every
heart has beat warmly towards them,
and there has been thrown out loving
and wide spread arms to clasp them
in the unconquerable brotherhoolOof
the glorious Republic. The united
voice has been, let the dead past bury
its dead—let party strife with its
shrivelling and withering influences be
cast aside, if not forever, at least until
our menaced country can be rescued
from the fangs of those traitors who
assail it, and who strive to upheave
the strong foundations of Republican
Liberty. We appeal to every fliir and
unprejudiced than to say if this is not
entirely true. How eagerly and earn
estly is the question daily asked as to
the feelings of this or that prominent
opponent of the party in power, as to
how he stands in the great struggle ;
and when the reply comes, "he is
sound and right," the response has
ever been, " thank God for that!"—
The hearty desire is that all should he
right. That no man north or south
should be willing to see this grand
Government go to pieces, without of
fering himself as a sacrifice to save
it.
The Latest News.
WASHINGTON, May 21.—1 t is a suffi
cient denial of the reports of Lieut.
Gen. Scott's infirm health, to say that
he is engaged in the discharge of his
official duties, not only throughout the
day, but till a late hour every night.
BArnmonE, May 21.—This afternoon
two companies, numbering 120 mus
kets, from the .Philadclphia Camp,
company E. Lieut. Ringgold, and com
pany G, Capt. Phelps, under command
of Major McLane, came to the city,
and proceeded to an unoccupied house
near Green Mount Cemetery, where
they seized a large quantity of arms
which were stored there. They com
prised 1,500 muskets in boxes marked
" From Denmeads," making six dray
loads in cartage. All were taken to
the camp, and thence to Fort McHen
ry. The arms had been in the custody
of the city authorities.
CHAMBERSBURG, May 21.—Two re
connoissances which were pushed
southward from this point yesterday,
report to-day that they passed the
lines of the Confederate army and went
deliberately through the camps. They
saw 300 troops ten miles from Harper's
Ferry, and 700 at Williamsport. No
reinforcements had arrived there to
day up to 3 o'clock this afternoon.
ST. Louis, May 21.—Major General
Price, commander-in-chief of the Mis
souri militia, arrived here last night,
and this morning had an interview
with General Harney, when a plan
was agreed upon for the maintenance
of peace, and the avoidance of future
conflicts between the Federal and State
Governments. They mutually declare a
common object, that of restoring peace
and good order to the people and the
State, in subordination to the laws of
The General and State Governments,
and unite in recommending all persons
to respect each other's rights through.
out the State, and to make no attempt
to exercise unauthorized powers, as it
is the determination of the proper au
thorities to suppress all unlawful pro
ceedings which can only disturb the
public peace.
General Price pledges the whole
power of the State and its officers to
maintain order among the people of
the State, and General Harney declares
that, this object being assured, he can
have no occasion, as he has no wish,
to make military movements, which,
might otherwise create excitement and
jealousies, which he most earnestly de
sires to avoid. They therefore enjoin
upon the people to attend to their civil
business, and express the hope that
the unjust elements which have threat
ened so seriously to disturb the public
peace may soon subside, and be re
membered only to be deplored.
BALTIMORE, May 21.—A letter to
the American, from Williamsport, says
that about one thousand Virginia and
South Carolina troops, from Harper's
Ferry, took a position on Sunday, on
the Virginia side of the Potomac, op
posite that town and commanding the
ferry; and expected to be joined by
another thousand to-day, with field
pieces. Williamsport is but seven
miles from Hagerstown.
Southern Delusion
Tho Mobile Tribune which is about
an average sample of the Southern pa
pers, says :
The Northern papers have been
"driven to the side they are advoca
ting ;" the armies the Government is
putting into the field " are the scum of
the cities and rural districts ;" that
they are " men who have no bread to
eat, and who 'enter a service which
they are indifferent about, except so
far as the commissary department and
the monthly pay are concerned;" that
"they have no stomach for the fight,'
but are going into the war because
they have no employment and no
food ;" that they are all " hirelings," a
mere " starving rabble."
A short time will undeceive our South
ern enemies. They will meet face to
face our " starving rabble" and be con
vinced that the " mud-sills" of the
North are men with big hearts and
strong hands,
Our Army Correspondence.
CAMP JOHNSON, Lancaster,
May 21, 1861.
DEAR Silt :—As we are one-half of
the representation of old IruntingdOn
county in our country's service, a
short communication might be inter
esting to some of our friends at home.
We have been encamped here since
the 10th inst., and arc getting along
very well thus far. The health of our
company has been good ; although we
have had some very rough weather
since our departure from home, we
have not had a single man in the hos
pital yet, and hope, with care, that we
may not. We are coming well disci
plined; drill from 4 to 5 hours every
day ; men soon become adepts in the
use of handling the musket, if they
give it attention, and try to learn, but
1 am sorry to say that some are so in
dolent as not to care, and are anxious
to have each days duty clone as easily
as possible ; but these are the few ex
ceptions to the general rule.
There arc now two Regiments quar
tered here ; the 14th and I.sth, com
manded by Col. Johnson, a brother of
the ex-Governor, and Col. Oakford, of
Luzerne county. Gen. Negley re
viewed the two regiments yesterday.
and put us through the manual of arms
and movements. Ire is a spendid offi
cer, and saw the " Elephant" in Mexi
co • we are attached to his Brigade.—
Where our destination will be, we are
ignorant of, as soldiers do not know
where they are to go, or when; it was
amusing to hear the conjectures, when
we left Camp Curtin, as to where
should be our next place of residence.
From certain movements here, lately,
its quite probable there will be a con
centration of the Pa. Volunteers, now
encamped in the eastern and southern
portion of this State, and you may ex
pect to hear that we will be doing
more than encamping on fair grounds in
the future.
You have no doubt heard that we
have been badly treated in regard to
rations and quarters .; of course we
have not the comforts and luxuries of
home, but they who expect such should
never become soldiers, for if they
should, they will make grumblers, and
cause disturbances, which have a very
bad effect in camp lift. Soldiers should
live on the rations the Government
allows them, and get down to it as
soon as possible, even if it is flitch,
crackers and coffee; but it allows all
the substantials that men require.—
That there has been dissatisfaction
with regard to the Quartermaster De
partment, is true; but the boys should
remember that to make all things gre
ular and systematic, requires time.—
Our commanding officers are good
men,
and bound to sec that everything
will be got for us that we are entitled
to ; so, if you should hear any more
complaints, just attribute them to the
fact that some are and always will be
dissatisfied, or of the -" peaches and
and cream" style. We received while
at Camp Curtin a " W" box of provi
sions from the Ladies of Huntingdon,
for which they had three cheers and a
" tiger" and our thanks. The things
a soldier needs, are many little conve-
Menus "not put down in the
such as towels, needles, pins, combs,
and " tobocco," with him these are ne
cessaries and luxuries. About two
thirds of the boys are strapped, and a
plug of tobacco, when it is exhibited,
draws a crowd almost equal to August
Court in Hutingdon. _ _
Capt. Johnson is in good health, and
fine spirits; has the good will of all his
men, and, I believe, is the Senior Cap
tain of the Regiment. Lieut. McNally
is acknowledged to be an officer of su
perior military attainments, and a
thorough soldier and perfect gentle
man.
Lieut. Simpson is a fine specimen of
Huntingdon county soldier—a clever
fellow, and a perfect Heenan in mus
cular development—as fine and manly
looking a man as you will see in a
whole Regiment. Although the Union
Guards labored under disadvantages
at the time of departure, they are all
right now, and are equal to any in
Camp. We have not got our uniforms
yet, but expect them soon ; trust that
they may be serviceable and comfort
able.
We have three Mexican Soldiers in
our Company; our 2d Sergeant and
fifer served under Old Zack ; were in
the battle of Buenna " Old
Fred" in " cock of the walk ;" be has
been in the carpentering business ex
tensively, since we have been here.—
Ho had a contract for a three story
brick, for officers quarters, -with con
tinued rail on the hall stairs ; lie has
not yet handed in his bill to Governor
Curtin, but hope when he does the
Legislature will pass it, as an old sol
dier is more deserving than a specula
tor.
Yesterday, Sunday, most of us went
to church; camp was as quiet as a Sab
bath morning in Alexandria—we have
good men here as well as bad ones—
many of the soldiers are church mem
bers, others are complete rowdies.—
Intemperance has its votaries repre
sented here, but I consider it a tine
place to reform; as it is always pun
ished. But I must close; excuse the
disconnected epistle, as the conveni
ences for writing are not so good as
your office. My best respects to all
friends. Yours, Respectfully,
BURYING THE .A.MERICAN flAo.—At
Memphis, Tenn., a week or so ago, a
largo American flag was procured, en
closed in a coffin borne.on a bier car
ried by eight men, and formally buried.
The funeral was preceded by a band
of music playing the dead march, and
was attended by about 500 Secession
ists. The grave was dug alongside of
a statue of Gen. Jackson, in one of the
public squares, into which the flag was
lowered. The earth was then thrown
upon the stars and stripes, the grave
filled, up, and the procession returned
peacefully to their homes. The very
same evening, there arose one of the
most violent gales of wind ever wit
nessed in Memphis, and every secession
flag in the city was blown down.—
Singular to relate, a very large seces
sion flag which was suspended near
the grave, was blown away front the
staff and carried by the wind to the
newly filled up pit, where it was de
posited and left to soak in the rain
and mud, an appropriate holocaust to
the departed great. The anger of
heaven was thus unequivocally ex
pressed at the infamous desecration of
our honored banner. What is the
next form in which Southern insanity
will display itself'?

Reply of Judge Taylor.
• IIoNTINcnoN, May 18th, 1861.
To the members of the Bar of Huntingdon,
Blair, and Cambria counties:
Gentlemen—Your communication, hand—
ed to me a month ago, owing to the absorb
ing excitement, since prevailing the country,
upon a subject vastly more interesting to us
all, has remained, to the present time, unan
swered. To the request contained in it, I
now reply at .mce and frankly, that, since
neither my age nor my circumstances, my
duty to my family or to the public, permits
me to entertain a thought of retiring from ac
tive life, and as I have no inclination to re
turn to the practice of the law, I ant willing
to be a candidate for re-election to the office I
now hold,
It accords, also, with my views and desire
to come before the people in the attitude sug
gested. There is a prevalent and growing
public sentiment, in which I heartily par
ticipate, that a Judge ghoul I not be a politi
cian; and that contests for judicial offices, as
far as is practicable, should be kept clear of
party politics. It is grating to our sense of
propriety to observe one whose office it is to
administer juntice with a steady and impar
tial hand between persons of all parties and
classes, descending into the arena of local par
tizan strife; nor can it, in the nature of things,
ever happen without imparing, to some ex
tent, public confidence in his entire inde
pendence and impartiality as a Judge. I an
nounce myself, therefore, in compliance with
the request contained in your letter before
me, us a candidate for the office of President
Judge of the twenty-fourth Judicial District,
.• without reßpoot-to--party.) , ---- ----- • - -
I would be doing violence to my own feel
ings, however, g,entlemen, and great injustice
I
to you, were to close with this direct and
brief respoise to the request contained in
your letter. It is a communication from the
Bar of the district district over the courts
of which I have presided fur many years, and
in which during that time, a very large
amount of judicial business, civil and crimi
nal, much of it very important, has been
transacted;--a district, ranking, in view of
the amount and character of its business and
litigation, among the most important in the
State;—a district, too, in which. you will
pardon me, gentlemen, for saying, it has al
ways been my belief, without claiming any
credit for it myself, causes are as carefully
and well tried as in any other. It is not only
a communication from the Bar of the entire
district but one signed by all the gentlemen
of the Bar within the several counties com
posing it, of all parties; some of whom are
my professional seniors ; with whom I
started out in professional life; many of them
young gentlmen who have come to the Bur
since I have been upon the bench, and whose
steady progress toward distinction, I
watched with pride;—and with all of whom
I have enjoyed the most intimate and agree
able intercourse in the different relations in
which we have met and mingled. Such a
call upon me from such a source, is, itself, an
expression of confidence and friendship,
stronger and morn expressive even than the
language which you have employed to convey
it; and which I have no words suitably to ac
knowledge. I value it, be assured, more
highly than I would the nomination of any
party convention, for the highest anti most
honorable office in the State,; and I shall
preserve and cherish your letter to the latest
hour of my life, as the most valuable monu
ment I hope to leave behind me.
Your generous friendship has doubtless,
gentlemen, induced an oversight of many
faults and defieie, cies of which I am very
sensible, and which' cannot have escaped
your notice. I am conscious of having,
during my term of office, drawing near to
elose, committed many errors. You are
right, however, when you accord to me, and
I believe also in the opinion expressed that
the people of the district, of all parties, ac
cord to me, strict impartiality and integrity
of purpose in the performance of my judicial
duties. As to the latter, no ono occupying
any public place, is entitled to any special
credit for habitually intending to do what is
simply and only his duty ; nor is it to be for
gotten that the strongest motive which can
actuate a Judge is to be RIGIIT always if he
can. I have here only stood in my lot with
my judicial brethern of the State ; while it is
not, as I suppose, ascrillible to any superior
personal merit in those of the legal profession
who have been called to exercise judicial
functiens,that the entire judiciary of Pennsyl
vania has ever, in this respect, stood above
and beyond reproach or suspicion. With
respect to the other quality refered to, if there
is tiny one qualification of a Judge which,
among many conscious deficiencies, I feel
that I might venture to claim, it is the power
of holding up a question and viewing it stead
ily in all its aspects, without thinking, fur the
time, who are the parties into, eqed, or how
they will be affected by the decision. I an,
not conscious of ever having felt the tempta
tion to allow the weight of a feather. in any
judgment, to the social position, political pre
dilections, or religious faith of the parties be
fore the court, or of their counsel.
W . D
I have only, in conclusi , n, gentlemen, to
repeat my grateful acknowledgement and
appreciation of your kind partiality; and to
pledge myself.that should it result in my
re-election, and God should spare my life to
the commencement of another judicial term.
I will endeasor to bring all my energies to
the discharge of the high responsible, and
arduous public duties devolving upon me un
der anew commission. I am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully and truly,
- Your friend end ob't.s erv't.,
GEO. TAYLOR.
Seizure of the Telegraphic Dispatches by
the Government.
The propriety of' taking pOssession
of all messages convoyed South,
by means of telegraphic companies of
the Northern and Western States, has
been the great topic of discussion in
the Cabinet at Washington during the
last week. The comparative_ scarcity
of arms in Northern cities, and the
fact that announcements had been
known to be made of the different mil
itary- movements of the Federal_ Gov
eminent to the leaders of the revolu
tion South, led to the idea and its gen
eral development.
Accordingly, on Saturday last, 'or
ders from the Government were re
ceived by all the United States Dis
trict Attorneys in the several districts
of the Northern and Western States,
requesting them to take possession of
all telegraphic matter sent over the
wires to the Southern States, in order
to discover the aid and sympathy
which such States had received from
traitors in the North. There were
two known objects which the move
ment was intended to accomplish.—
The one was to discover the quantity
of arms received by the South from
the North, and those who had • sent
them and the other to ascertain if the
plans of the revolutionists had at any
time been revealed to the individuals
who were supposed to syMpathize
with them. At the hour named in the
order, three o'clock on Monday after
noon, officers in all the cities entered
the telegraph offices.
It has been regarded as certain, says
the New York Post of Tuesday eve
ning, that Jeff Davis has had an army
of spies and informers in the Northern
cities, some of whom were sent from
the South, and some of whom are citi
zens. These telegrams will establish the
truth of this belief beyond a doubt, and
will also furnish the Government with the
names of many of the spies and informers;
and if such regard their personal safe
ty they had better leave for the terri
tory of the rebels immediately, for
there can be no doubt but that the U.
States authorities have now a clue to
their proceedings, which will render• it
unsafe for them to remain.
Nor are the spies and informers the
only ones whose treason will be laid
bare by these despatches. Those who
have been supplying the South with
arms and munitions of war, will now
be known, and if tiny Government does
not obtain evidence to convict such
men of treason, it will at least be able
to mark and watch them with a vigi
lant eye, and prevent them doing fu
ture mischief:
One thing is certain. Every traitor
who has corresponded with the rebels by
telegraph during the last twelve months,
is now known by name to the Govern
ment.
The financial and diplomatic hopes
and plans of the rebels—their negotia
tions for arms and ammunition—the
treachery of army and navy officers,
and other movements of the greatest
importance, are by this bold stroke
placed within the knowledge of
Federal authorities.
There can be no doubt but one re
sult will follow immediately. Hun
dreds of secret traitors, who are now
in this city and other cities in the
North, will deem it safe to leave im
diately, and we shall probably see no
more of them in these parts. They
will forthwith place themselves under
ernmeut.
North Western Virginia
The following are among the reso
lutions unanimously adopted by the
Convention of the people of North
Western Virginia at Wheeling, repre
sent some twenty-five Counties :
Resolved, That in our deliberate
judgment the ordinance passed by the
Convention of Virginia, on the 17th of
April, 1861, known as the ordinance of
secession, by which said Convention
undertook in the name of the State of
Virginia, to repeal the ratification of
the Constitution of the United States,
by this State, and to resume all the
rights and powers granted under said
Constitution, is unconstitutional, null
and void.
Resolved, That the agreement of the
24th of April, 1861, between the Com
missioners of the Confederate States
and this State, and the ordinance of
the 25th of April, 1801, approving and
ratifying said agreement by which the
whole military force and military ope
rations, offensive and defensive of this
Commonwealth, are placed under the
chief control and direction of the -Pres
ident of the Confederate •States, upon
the same principles, basis and footing
as if the Commonwealth were now a
member of said Confederacy, and all
the acts of the executive officers of our
State in pursuance of said agreement
and ordinance, aro plain and palpable
violations of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and are utterly subversive of
the rights and liberties of Virginia.
Resolved, That in view of the geo
grapical, social, commercial and in
dustrial interests of Northwestern Vir
ginia, this Convention constrained
in giving expression to the opinion of
their constituents to declare that the
Virginia Convention in assuming•to
change the relation of the State of
Virginia to the Federal Government,
have not only acted unwisely and un
constitutionally, but have adopted a
policy utterly ruinous to all the mate
rial interests of our section, severing
all our social tics, and drying up all
the channels of our trade and prosper
ity-.
Resolved, That in the language of
Washington, in his letter of the 17th
of Sept., 1787, to the President of Con
gress; "in all our deliberations on this
subject we have kept steadily in view
that which appears to us the greatest
interest of every true American,.the
consolidation of our Union, in which
is involved our prosperity, felicity,
safety and perhaps our national exis
tence." And therefore we will main
tain and defend the Constitution of the
United States and the laws made in
pursuance thereof', and all officers act
ing there-under in the lawful discharge
of their respective duties.

[Correspondence of the Pfe.4.l.]
WASIIINOTON, May 13, 1861
I have travelled in every part of the
world, among all sorts of people, in
times of war, and times of peace, but"
have never met with such indignities
as were lately offered me 7 ,l),ythe un
civil authorities of Riehmond, the en
lightened capital of the gallant Com
monwealth of Virginia. I was there
arrested and imprisoned for ten days,
because suspected of entertaining sen
timents contrary to the opinions of
Wise, Pryor & Co.
I have shuddered at the sight of the
Ergastolo, the No.tpolitan life-prison,
on the island of Ischia; I have read of
the horrors of the S:pielberg ; I
_have
visited the Bagnes of Toulon and
Brest, and I have seen the Roman
Carceri, at Civita Vecchia—but I pity
the man who has to endure the depre
dation of a Virginia jail.
lam a native and resident of the
South, and have always regarded Vir
ginians as fellow creatures and human
beings; but they are no .follows of
mine—they are barbarians! An ordi
nance had been lately promulgated,
enjoining every citizen of Richmond to
report to the police every suspected
person. - Under that.ordinance I was
arrested, and my trunk was examined.
A petition for office to President Lin
coln was found in it that was enough
to condemn me. I was accused of dis
loyalty, and hostility towards the
Commonwealth of Virginia. "
I told the Mayor I owed no more
fealty to Virginia than I did to Eng
land ; and as to hostility towards the
State. I had said or done nothing to
show it.
The testimony of my diary and pri
vate papers, taken forcibly and illegal
ly from my trunk, was no competent
evidence, even if they had contained
inimical expressions.
He said I was a suspicious person;
my case was very important; that he
would remand me to jail; my case
was not bailable; I might do much
harm if suffered to go at large; the
opinion of the Attorney General must
be obtained before I could be released;
and I was sent back to prison.
The Mayor of Richmond, is Joseph
Mayo, the same old drunken repro
bate who went to New York to invite
the Seventh Regiment to fight against
their country and their friends, in fif
vor of Virginia.
Their refifsal affected him so deeply,
he " drowned his sorrows in the bowl,"
was picked up drunk, and put in the
Tombs till morning.
Nobody can pass through Virginia
now without a passport. ' There - are
innocent strangers in the Richmond
jail at this moment. Onepoor invalid
has been suffering there for ',nine ,
months, because ho openly declared
his preference for the North. A young
man from California, a student at the
University of Virginia, was imprison
ed for two weeks for saying he was a
patriot—for his country, the United
States. Even women are imprisoned,
and every traveller is regarded as an
emissary from the North, " who has
conic to spy out the nakedness of the
land !" Alas I poor, ohl, decrepid
State! her nakedness is evident, and
her desolation is to come. Ten thou
sand men could now march easily to
Richmond, and capture it us readily as
they pnidd ital
_ co A 1 o . ,v
.L'otomac.
This individual persecution will do
Virginia no good; it will make her
many bitter enemies. Talk of the ty
ranny of monarchies! There is no
despotism equal to that now prevailing
in Virginia. '
Part of my journal was written in
French, and much of the latter part of
it in phonography—both of which wri
tings was a puzzle to the learned au
thorities. The little Dutch looking
myope reporter for the Examiner sup
posed the phonetic characters to be
hieroglyphics from the obelisks of
Luxor, or the temples. of Dendera. '
The Governor, Attorney General,
and Mayor took counsel or my case,
and finding no capital verdict—no
°rime worthy of hanging, or tar and
feathers, I was provided with a pass,
and a police escort to the frontier.—
Washington city is to lie my residence
hereafter. • Respectfully,
GEO. G. GAITHER,
of Kentucky.
Queen Victoria's Pioclamation on the
American Contest.
Precise and particular details re
specting the position and feeling of
England and France towards the Uni
ted States are eagerly anticipated and
expected. The steamship Persia,
which passed Cape Race, on Saturday
evening, has brought news from Lon
don dated May 12th. It runs as fol
lows:
"The Privy Council met ye'AterdaY
at Whitehall. Lord Herbert, the Duke
of Somerset, and other thinisters,:Were
present. The Attorney and Solicitor
General, and the Queen's Advocate at
tended, for the'purPoSe . of arranging a
proclamation to be issued by the Queen
and Council on next Tuesday,yFarning
British subjects against_illicit.oi,ovet;t
complicity in the civil NS; a now raging
in America. The usual Saturday Cab
inet. council was. not held, in conse
quence of the above meeting." '
We shall have to.wait or fora few
days more, until the next mail-steamer
brings the Proclamation here referred
to. It would seem as if England really
'meant not to - interfere in our Civil
War. Neutrality will be her best
policy. The Whig and Tory leaders,
in the _Rouse of :Lords; have united in
expressing the hope that British sub
jects will not bo, ; so ill-advised as to
join Mr. Jefferson Davis' privateers.—
If they do, and are detected, British
law will treat them.as pirates. .

aril hder left this city at 3 o'Cloek
A. M. and returned at 1 P. M., with
six parties charged with counterfeiting,
and in possession of whom bogus• coin
and paper money were found. The
parties arrested were Jos. Shoemaker,
proprietor of the Cambria housejohns

that region, and two attaches of the
I house, Sterrett Montgomery and Philip
Williams; Geo. Rushenberger, jeweler;
Daniel A. Goehenhauer, wholesale

merchant of Maryland, (Perryville We
believe,) who is quite, wealthy, - and.a
prominent man socially and politically
at home. lie is suspected, of being
the seller of the spurious money.
Upon all of these, or in thoirposses
sion, counterfeit coin and paper money,
and upon some of them, both were
found. The coin found is some ofit
among the most deceptive we haVe
ever seen, and -the paper money is
most of it an excellent imitation. Two
and a half gold pieces, half dollars,
quarters and dimes, wore the kinds of
coin found; the paper money included
$2 bills on the Summit County Branch
of the State of Ohio; tens on the Far
