AMERICAN VOLUNTEER. JOHN B. BRATTON. Editor'& Proprietor. CARLISLE, PA., JUNE 13, 1861. , OUR FLAG. V Forever float that standard sheet 1 Where breathes the foe but falls before ust With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, And Freedom’s banner waving o’er us 1 ” Rduor,— lt is rumored in town that Copt. L. Todd, of one of the new Carlisle companies, now at West Cheater,'has been elected Major of one 61 the new Regiments. We hope the report may prove true, for Capt. T. has the elements in him to make a first-class officer. , Baggage Wagons.— A great number of bag gage wagons have passed through our town recently, on their way to Chaniborsburg. The horses were of the- best quality and appeared to be in excellent condition. • For Chaubersbcbu.-— During the last eight of ten days immense numbers of troops have passed through Carlisle, on their way to Chara bersburg. The force there at this time must be 30,000-. ■ - : Carlisle and the War.— Carlisle has fur nished four full companies for the war. Con sidering our population—G,ooo—we, doubt whether any town in the State has done as well. : If necessary,, we can anti wfW turn out two companies more. . ' ■ The Sumner Rifles.— this efficient com pany—the first to offer their services from ohr town—is now encamped at Chambersburg. Capt. KunN, as well as a number of his men, returned to Carlisle a few days since, to pay a short visit to their families. They received a warm welcome, looked remarkably well, and expressed themselves well pleased with the service. They are very anxious for a tilt with the rebels, and we hope they may soon be gratified. ' The Ladies Again at Work. —The ladies of our town are again. at work, making up uniforms for Capt. Todd’s company. In a few days they will be ready, and forwarded tothecompany.atWest Chester. This makes the fourth company that has been fully equipped our citizens, at an expense of some sBs(KRvery dollar of this amount was paid by tne people of Carlisle, with the ex ception of some §2OO, which was collected in the country. In addition to this, hundreds of dollars have been expended by .individuals in making presents to their friends in the sev eral companies,, and in providing food for the thousands of troops.that have been passing through our town for several weeks past. The Crops. —From all our exchanges, as ■well'as from farmers in our own vicinity, we have the gratifying intelligence of the pro mise of an abundant harvest—and a yield of everything necessary for the support and' sus tenance of man and beast equal to any yield for years. The wheat promises unusually well, and as for corn and potatoes, nothing hut severe drought can prevent a supply lar ger than we have had for years. There will he an abundance of fruit, too. Three or four, weeks ago, it was announced that the peaches, apples, plums, &c., had all been destroyed by the.frost—yet go where you will you will see all the fruit trees loaded. The editor of the Germantown Telegraph, who is eminently an observer of such matters, gives the most flat tering account of a prolific yield of everything. In view of the existing troubles, this is grati fying intelligence, for'which wo . should be thankful. Dickinson College. —The Commencement Exercises of Dickinson College, for the pre sent year, will commence on Monday, July 8, with the Anniversary of the Belles Retires Society; op Tuesday, the general meeting of Alumni, andi the Anniversary of the Union Philosophical Society; on Wednesday, the an nual meeting of the Board of Trustees, and annual meeting of the two Societies; on the same day. Oration, by the Rev. B. 11. Nodal, Di D., of Brooklyn, and a Poem, by Hon. Horatio King, of Washington; also an Ora tion, before the Alumni, by John Carson, Esq., of Baltimore; on Thursday, Commencement Exercises. During these times of “war and rumors of war,” Colleges, like every thing .else, must suffer, in comparison with former years. We are glad to learn, however, that “ old Dickin son” lias braved the storm nobly. The ap proaching Commencement promises to be quite os interesting as former ones, and will be well attended by the friends of the Insti tution from abroad. The graduating class may not bo as large as last year, on account of a number of students leaving for their homes under the pressure of the first war news. Soveral of those students returned after the first excitement had passd away, and all, tdl.'WiU be in attendance next year, in ail, therefore, Dickinson College has sustained herself well, and bids fair to COD tnme-prosperous. Rtou Camp Wayne A. letter (v.™ „ ' , _ “• n-iior ttom our nephew, William Bratton, a member ot Cant Henderson’s Company, at Camp Wayne, West Chester, informs us that the boys of the three Carlisle Companies are all well, and on duty in camp. So far they are.in fine spirits, and, notwithstanding the privations to be endured in the camp, there are no complaints heard. The members of Henderson’s company at tended church on Sunday evening—a good, beginning. ■ : ET'Oov. Sprague, of R. 1,, with his splen dip Brigade, pgsppd through our totvn on Mon day night. "PDSII OB THE COLUMN!” We think we are safe.inpredicting thatwe shall have stirring nows in a few Jays. If the rebels don’t rtfn, a battle will certainly take place at'Harper’s Perry very soon, when the enemy will.be routed and the Arsenal at that point re-capturod;" We sincerely hope the secessionists may stand their ground, for wo desire-to see them severely punished, ns they certainly will be; We want to see their “ Southern steel” tested, about which they have been talking so flippantly; we Want them to “just try it on,” and see if “one Virginian can whip five Northerners,” as that most intolerable fool, Ex-Gov. Wise,, boasted they could do. Poor old Virginia 1 She has been led into rebellion, robbery and treason, by giving oar to her bad orators, and disregarding the safe advice of her good and loyal men—the men who had to flee to the North for protection. That State, in all probability, will be the principal battle ground, and of course the principal sufferer. She will mourn, in sack cloth and ashes, the day, she rebelled against our glorious Union. She, with all her glories, will go down, “ unwept, unhonored, and un sung.” - That the administration is determined to pursue a vigorous policy, is now evident to every one, and for this wo honor those who have the management of our National difficul ties. There is now an immense army of loyal men in the field, four-fifths of whom are drilled and equipped, and ready for the contest.— : When the attack is made, it will fall .as a thunder-bolt upon the, traitor D.vvis and his miserable followers. The rebels will fall be fore Northern swords as the grass falls before the scythe of the husbandman. Wo think it scarcely possible the war can be a long one. Should it threaten to be, the bosom of the North will again heave with love for the country, and a million more men will obey,the call of the President, and rush to the conflict. “Push on the column," then, and let the whole power of the Government be brought to bear upon the rebels. We believe it both economy and humanity to put this war through in the shortest time possible, and wo there fore approve the policy of an overwhelming army and energetic action. General Scott knows when to commence. When he is ready,' then “let slip the dogs of war," and never call them off till every secessionist comes hack to the Stars and Stripes, or is vanquished. Obi Volunteers. On the morning of the 6th inst., the three new volunteer companies organized in this town, and commanded by Capt. Robert Mc- Cartney, Capt. R. M. Henderson, and Capt. Lemuel Todd, bid farewell to their numerous relatives and friends, and took the cars for Camp Wayne, at West Chester., The com panies Were nearly full, and by this time, we prcSume,'they have their complement of men. Shortly before, leaving, Mr. Henderson’s company was presented with a very beautiful flag—the gift of Mrs. J. W. Henderson. .. ‘ The three companies then formed in line, and marched up High street, headed '.by the Carlisle Brass Band* and halted ini front ,of the residence of James Hamilton, Esq., where a large number of the young girls of our pub lic schools had assembled, neatly clad in hol iday apparel, and wearing the national em blem of “ red, white and blue," for the pur pose of reading an address to our brave young;, men. The address was read by Miss Jo sephine Adair, ns follows: TO THE VOLUNTEERS, The girls of the Borough of Carlisle, desire to express to you, on leaving your homes, the interest we feel in the successful issue of the noble cause which you go forth to defend, at. the hazard of your health and lives. We have no fears that your bravery and courage will fail to bear aloft the stars and stripes in the hour of conflict, if you should be called to the battle field. The best wishes of the young girls of your own town go with you. Our hopes and prayers accompany you. May this cheer you amidst the trials and privations of the soldier’s life. “ None but the brave deserve the fair!” Take this our little flag as a token of our best wishes and these wreaths of flowers—we give them to you, our brave volunteers, in the expecta tion that if an opportunity is afforded you, that on your return you will, deserve wreaths of laurel. Then followed the singing, by school girls, of the “ Star Spangled Banner,” which was executed in very creditable stylo. The cars having arrived, the order “ forward, march,” was given, and in a few minutes our friends were in the cars, nearly every man carrying one or two beautiful boquets—gifts from the ladies to their husbands, brothers and sweet hearts, As the train moved off slowly, re peated hearty and enthusiastic cheers made the welkin ring. “Farewell!” “Good bye!” “God blest you !” were the last words heard by our volunteers. Away wont the cars, leav ing behind a crowd of thousands, many of them weeping bitterly, and others struggling to keep up their spirits. These companies are composed of superior men—many of them quite young, but yet lull of the fire of their forefathers. Captains Mc- Cartney's and Henderson’s companies are composed principally of Carlislers ; Captain Todd’s is made up, with a few exceptions, of country boys—hale, strong former lads. These companies will perform their whole duty should an opportunity be afforded them. , Strawberries. —Mr. Harkness, corner of Hanover and Pomfret streets, is still receiving largo quantities of this luscious fruit, which he is selling at very low figures. Ho is also well supplied with vegetables. Give him a call. Col. Crittenden’s Resignation. —Colonel Crittenden, of the Mounted Rifles, whoso re signation is reported in New Mexico, is a son of the Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky. He graduated at West Point in 1832; joined the infantry, and, after serving ono year, re signed. In 1846 he re-entered thoarmy, dur ing the Mexican war, as a captain of rifles.— Ho is a most excellent officer, highly esteem ed in private life. The Col. Crittenden mentioned above, was for soma years Commandant at Carlisle Bar racks, during which time his gentlemanly de portment and many amiable qualities gained or imso t hoefs of friends. His many friends • and acquaintances here will hear of his “ do ■ footion" with regret. JtST Pennsylvania has now twenty nine regiments in the service of the United Slates of which, thirteen are for .throe mon-.be and sixteen for three years, if their services should |be so long required there. Dnzzttids la the camp. Now that there is a probability that tho gigantic.frauds practiced upon ourb'rave vol unteora hdyp'boon partially arrested—thanks to the Democratic protfs—and a. faint hope that the stealing scoundrels engaged in these frauds may be arrested' and receive their deserts ip the penitentiary, there is another piece of villainy demanding the attention of the Democratic papers—namely, the appoint ment of nincompoops to responsible military positions. Many of the appointments made by Cameron and Curtin are disgraceful and outrageously heartless. They are mere party hacks—the corrupt tools of designing men. Without one single miliary qualification— without oven the knowledge of a “right wheel 1 ' from a “loft wheel,” these miserable dwarfs have been selected for Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Brigadier Generals, Majors, & o. First our volunteers were swindled out of their rations and clothing by Republican vultures, and now on attempt is being made to have these men led into battle by a set of grannies. Every Regiment commanded'by these tools of Cameron and Curtin will be in danger of being cut to pieces on account of a want of knowledge of the head officers. This should not and must not occur. There are, we doubt not, many shrewed politicians in every Pennsylvania company.' Let them look at many of the recent appointments; let them call to mind the means employed to elect Cam eron twice to the United States Senate; let them remember too, that this great State, a State that ought to favor statesmen for high positions—voted for Cameron, (at the Repub lican Chicago Convention,) for President of the United States!! Let them look over the list of Delegates too, to the last Gubernatorial State Convention, and see who voted for Cur tin for Governor. Let them mark,' too, the members of ouf State Legislature who voted for swindling railroad bills, by the passage of which our people were robbed of one or two millions a year; lot the politicians of our vol unteer companies, .we say, look back to the transactions we have mentioned. 8®- Then let them look at the names of the creatures re cently appointed to high military commands; and they will be able to see why these worth less and incompetent tools wore selected,“©a Let our volunteers set their faces against these frauds—for frauds they arc—and speak oiii as they spoke out against their heartless oppressors who stole their rations. Let them inform the political knaves who have been appointed over them, that they are ready to face the enemy with competent men as com manders, but that they never agreed to pay off Cameron and Curtin’s old political debts, I by rushing into the jaws of death at the com mand of liliputians. Volunteers! the matter rests' with you— you have the power to remedy the'evil, Correct it, if possible. In the mean time let the Democratic journalists of our State—for on them the people must rely— make a united, bold and vigorous assault’ upon the vultures, and they will soon be driven in dismay from their places. The volunteers desire no crows dressed up in eagle’s feathers—no jackasses wearing the lion’s skin, to command them. Away with those old party hacks—these in the .barn. We want men—military men—to command our soldiers. Our volunteers are gentlemen— among the very best men in the State; they have never been engaged in trickery or brok erage, and don’t wish to be dictated to by those who have. Never! The following article we take from one of our exchanges. It will be seen that even some of the Republicans at "Washington are about to protest against a number of the re cent appointments: "The Philadelphia Inquirer fitly charac terizes such appointments as those of B. Rush Petriken, J ohn P. Sanderson, George R. Smith, and Alexander Cummings, to important po sitions in the regular army as “appointments pot fit to be made.” They have truly shocked the public mind of Pennsylvania. Old and experienced officers in the army are entirely overlooked to make place for these men who are held in deserved contempt wherever they are known, and have never, taken the first lessons in military experience. A dispatch from Washington in the Inquirer states that a public meeting is to be held by the Penn sylvanians in that city to. protest against these appointments. Another dispatch in the same paper reads thus: A, number of the prominent Republican leaders from the North, especially those who were active in 1856 in political affairs, are agitating the propriety of uniting in a joint protestto the President against allowing John P. Sanderson, Assistant Secretary of War, to take command of any .troops on the field of battle. They very foolishly and wickedly say that he was identified with movements called, at the time, side door evolutions , which tended greatly to the defeat of their candidate for the Presidency, and they fear that a repetition of such tactics for the benefit of the Secessionists would weaken public confidence in his integ rity. The Guillotine Again at Work. — A let ter writer from Washington says the Presi dent divides his time, by devoting the fore noon to removing Democrats from office, and making now appointments, and the afternoon to war matters." “Bully for him!" Making removals the President considers hhjirst duty; attention to our bleeding country his second, A few weeks since, the Republican journals informed us that the President and all his Cabinet had “ very wisely determined to sus pend removals, in token of respect to the De mocrats for their zeal in assisting the Presi dent to put down rebellion.” Why this story was started we know not. For some object, of course. But it was not true. The Presi dent, his Cabinet, and all officers under him,' have been making removals daily ever since the war commenced. Such malignant pro scription has never been known in this or any other country. B 5&. The Hon. David Taooart, formerly Speaker of the Pennsylvania Senate, and late a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, has been appointed a Paymaster in the Army.— Exchange. Ah!—and so the pure and upright Dave has boon provided for at last. Ho has been smelling around Washington actively over since the 4tb of March, in quest of the cheese. It must gratify him very much that ho has at last succeeded in finding a large rich slice. Our word' for it, Dave, like thousands of other Republican patriots, will make his “pile” out of this war. 0“ Two pretty girls, Catharine Quirk and' Rebecca Ellonstoin, ran away from their pa rents and homes in New York, and joined the Garibaldi regiment as vivandleres. They 1 wore followed detected, and sent home. CfIMISODTrIJi SincotKobold exposure of the unacfiiploua anil glgaatio. tw<ldsieiifD(A upon oUfgal laut volunteers, (who arotermed the" ragged army of the Keystone,” wherever they go out of this State,) by Governor Curtin, and hie agents, the contractors who furnished the va rious supplies are coming out. in “ cards,” with their names appended, denying the per petration of tray fraud or rascality. This must be excepted. Rascals and scoundrels, foroontu ries, have plead “ not guilty,” to any and all charges' that may be preferred against them. But before the stertnribunal of an outraged people, confronted by the bold,’glaring wrongs that cry aloud against those villains, these men are already convicted of a crime, for which lynch law, swift and sure ns the light ning’s flash,' would-be too lenient punishment. The lost week has been unsually prolific of cards of disclaimer, ,as well from Governor Curtin and hiis officials, ns from parties more directly implicated in these corruptions. The pointed and indignant reproof of honest Sam PurviaheOj-seems-to have-arousod-Qovv Cur tin, from the stupefaction of habitual hesofc mont, and os if for the first time hearing the slightest murmur Of complaint, he dispatches Mr. Benjamin Haywood to 'Washington, to inquire into the condition of the Pennsylva nia regiments, at the same time protesting the most virtuous andpatriotio purpose to prompt ly supply every deficiency. In less than twenty four hours, Mr. Haywood reports of the three regiments in Washington that one is not very badly off, but the other two are suffering great ly, while from' their general condition Gen. Mansfield is said to have pronounced the regi ments unfit to take the field. “ The blouses and. pants,” says Mr. Hay wood, “ore of all colors, and made of damag ed goods of inferior quality, mostly of ‘ shod dy, and some of ‘Kentuckyjean.’ The blan kets are of the quality of ice blanket 3, not fit foT' horses. -The shoes are of wretched ma terial. “The heels come off, and they are con stantly ripping; Many ore almost barefoot.” The firm off Du Hadwaytfi Dodson furnish ed those same blankets that Mr. Haywood says are “ unfit foi).horses.” They say in their “card” that alt the blankets furnished by them were of the best description ; and aver that after supplying an order for 3,000, they received another order for 4,000 pair, part of which is already filled, No\V, We saw these blankets furnished our troops; and meaner stuff wo never examined. The men could not wear them, the hair of which they were made, was about half an inch in length, and litter ally fell out, when the blankets were held up. Arbitrators directed that a deduction of 33ots. per pair bdmaae fromtheir bills. Who were those arbitraws ; and who appointed them? Was it Andyjburtin ? Who pocketed the re mainder of tae immense profits ? We would like an answer. Slade & Cbt, furnished flannel at 03 cents a yard—rottcil mean, and not fit for decent carpet' rags.l, Roberts & Macoltionor supplied coffee at 16 *nts a pound, already “ ground.” Who testedfbat coffee, for we know from per sonal obseimtion that it was hardly browned in color, am not fit to drink. R. S. Hoed. & Co., sold gnend coffee at 20 bents, vinegar at 12J ecnfeW gallon, salt at §2.50 per- sack, beans'.at y£,10((|52. 35 per .fidshel, and nda-. mantine 4O cents per pound, and have hot yet “ csrdcd” it before the public. But the last .Wards” are the most impor tant. Thai oltfi ossil, Thomas COohran, Au ditor General, anl State Treasurer Moore have figured for the noment, in elaborate defenses, and apparently ire endeavoring to stop these shameless fraud and malpractices upon the State. Oophrai, in a characteristically elab rate note, cloins to hate stopped a number of bills fradulcnl in their character; and with Moore, the. Sbto. Treasurer, has notified con tractors that they will bo held to a rigid ac countability then their claitns are to be settled, and that an supplies will be inspected by competent Moors. The bill already paid have been-Rlested by oath that the articles therein spaifiod wore supplied “at the low est marketfrico,” while it is known that each contractor committed perjury when .he so called Higl Heaven to witness. The hun dreds and thousands of dollars already stolen by AndyfCurtin and his officials; with their army of fiends-and jobbers are lost; and the people will bave to bear it in heavy taxes. But let the these robberies cease now or else the peoplo will take the matter in their own bands. Almost every family in.the State has some relative or dear friend in the army; and aknowltdge that these must suffer through the infernal, diabolical treachery W one man to’the bonfilence reposed in him/will rouse them to mildness. Let COcliran and Moore, ■wanted to be con sidered ashonest men, worthy of their positions and the confidence of the people, make a sum mary example of this horde of miscreants, hy wholly disclaiming the responsibility of the State for aty portion of the immense supplies of putrid pork, tough beef half toasted coffee, &c., now and for a month past lying around Camp Curtin at Harrisburg, and from thence shipped to all points in the State, contracted for at enormOus prices by the agents of Andy Curtin, These supplies are estimated to exceed ac cording to the face of the bills, $250,000 and have been purchased wholly without the au thority of la\K The Commissary General re fuses to recognize these purohses, and many of the bills hjive been rejected by the Auditor but, as the purchases wore made by the order of the Govorhor, the contractors are resolved to force tho State to assume the responsibility and, we greadtly fear, will succeed, despite the very excellent resolves to which Messrs. Coch ran and Moare give publicity. So says tho Lancaster Inquirer , The New Levy or Troops. —The N. York Tribune says that tho details of tho new levy of 100,000 men will soon be made known to tho country. The President gives notice that all full regiments, ready for service, would have an opportunity to come forward in a few days. The Colonel of the British Legion of New York is in Washington, and hopes that it will form a part of tho New York quota.— His chances will be improved, if it be true, that, in the fourteen regiments accepted by the Onion Defence Committee, only four full regiments cad 'bo found, as it is affirmed in the authorative communications to the Presi dent. The question raised'between Governor Morgan and the Onion Defence Committee is still unsettled!

Just such men as he and a few crazy men in South Carolina, have caused our present National calamity. They deserve a halter rather than a distinguished honor. B®. How very consistent it is in tho Be publican journals to doubt tho fidelity of men who have, all their lives, been Union men, and at the same time applaud the appoint ments of Corwin, Burlingame; Banks, and others, men who' have been praying for a dis solution of the Union for tho last quarter of a century. Consistent, we say I JOy We see it recommended by several religious journals that the camming 4th of July be observed as a day of fasting and pray- Secretary Cameron and Got. Carlin. There seems to bo a diffioulty between the Secretary of War.- Simon Cameron, at AYash ington,and Gov. Andy Curtin, at Harrisburg, the former accepted two Philadelphia regi ments—‘Col’s. Small’s and • Einstein’s —after they had been rejected by the latter, and against the persevering efforts of. Curtin to exclude them from the service. ' This action on the part of Secretary Cameron, is justly re garded as a severe and merited rebuke of the mean and petty favoritism that has marked Gov. Curtin’s action from the beginning, and brought so much disgrace upon our State.— These regiments wore , the first to offor'them selvos; but wore pushed aside upon every pre text, until prejudice and favoritism could ho longer ho hidden; and Secretary Cameron, in thus breaking through the formalities of red tape, by accepting them over Curtin’s head, has only evidenced his State' pride and sym pathy for our volunteers. Their acceptance is in every way acceptable to Secretary Cam eron; but it has greatly excited the ire of Andy Curtin, and.the.intercourse of these function aries, never marked by any excess of amiabi lity, is likely henceforth to become bitter and acrimonious.

The following choice, morsel we clip from the Pine and Talin, a newspaper published at Boston and Now York by a pack of aboliton ists:. “ K freedom can only prevail through the agency of vengeance, so be it; if the Temple of Liberty can only stand securely on the corpses of slaveholders, so be' it; rather let the white race bo swept from the face of the earth, than endure the perpetuity of negro bondage. Wo would hesitate at no concoiva blojitrooity; we would spare neither parlor nor cradle, nriiher age-, nor sex —did wo be lieve that they must in order thafno gro slavery might perish with them.” There, if that is not cqualto the language in use among tho most rabid Secessionists, we are hot judges of the matter.

Mr. Johnson and his friends were, at that date, hopeful. The passage of the or dinance of secession by,tho Legislature proves nothing, as that body has been for secession from the start. At Knoxville the Union men were as firm as ever. Tho nomination of a Union candid ate for Governor, Mr. Campbell, by the Convention presided over by William 11. Polk, brother of the late President, has given animation to that cause. The election of Governor comes off in August. . . “ The stylo of Mr. Johnson’s canvassing may bo judged of from the commencerooht of his’ speech at Cleveland, Tennessee,' where threats against him had been largely indulged in. He told tho crowd that ho “did hot come hero to be shot, but shoot," that ifthoro was to be tt fight, ho and his friends were ready for it, and that ho preferred to finish up tho fighting before making his speed! Nobody coming forward to fight, the intrepid Senator proceeded to speak, and by the time ho had iihisfied, nineteen-twentieth of the audience were with him, He told them, among other, things, that Jeff Davis and the Governor of the State ought to be hanged, and Would he hanged at that not far distant period When tho judicial power of the government could bo brought to bear upon them;” UtmtiNO the American Pi.ag.—At Mem phis, Tenn., a week or so ago, a largo Ameri can flag was procured, .enclosed in a coffin homo on a bier carried by eight men, and formerly buried. The funeral was preceded by a band of music playing the dead march,' and was attended by about 500 Secessionists. 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 return ed peacefully to their homes. The very same evening, there arose one of the most violent gales of wind ever Witnessed in Memphis, and every secession flag in the city was blown down. Singular to relate, a Very large seces sion flag which wassuspended near the grave, was blown away from the staffand carried by the the newly filled up pit, where it was deposited and.left to soak in the rain and mud, an appropriate holocaust to the depart ed great.
