The null A VISIT To CAMP CURTIN.—On Wednes day we made a little excursion to Camp ' Curtin, and ,beat- up the quarters of our boys there. We found them drawn up in 1 :le for a post prandial settling drill under Lieutenants Collins and Iloyer, 1 eking Lenity and cunlented, evidently having just iini-hed ea Food. dinner and plenty of it. W 6 ' part..ak. of a int of tench, and certainly found the fare'not only palatable but excel lent. We don't think the Rangers have -anything ti complain of in the way of ra tions. The boys wore evidently improved lin appearance by the uniform shirts, fur which they expressed many thanks to the citizens and especially to the ladies who. so kindly lent their aid in the making up.— They now approach in appearance a com pany of soldiers. They need yet trousers And caps to make them the equals (in Cos tume) of most of their fellow companies.— Although the men were sworn in on Tues day, and about to receive their arms, the authorities could give Capt. Fisher no satis faction as to suitable clothing, but rather geve him to understand that it might require time before the Reserve regiments cduld be properly clothed. The Capt. has determined to apply to the generous citizens at home (and we feel well assured his appeal will not be a vain one) as some of the men ace nearly in rags, and the eletl.in4 is an abso lute necessity with many, and will add to the comfort of a large number, ns well as the creditable appearance of all. This mat ter has been put in the proper hands, nod will doubtless be promptly attended to. The expense will not be great, and the end cer tainly will justify it. In spite of the infusion of a new and raw element in the shape of some two-dozen rt.- cruits, the drill of the company has sensibly improved, the men moving with promptness and preci.den, and g dng through all evolu tions Letter than creditably. 'lice Cuoktuan Rangers stand well in every respect—con duct, efficiency, reliability and pluck. In a camp made up as Camp Cottle has recently been, of ununiformed and unworn men, there must be more or less disorder; nnd here the impatience of sonic of the rougher components has broken out in insubordina tion and defiance of the officials. Oar cent- he efl a wb e ": he - F , cr „e., pony was on one occasion called upon to support the authoritic4, and promptly and satisfactorily petformed the duty assigned it. Now, in all similar conjunctures it is re lied upon as willing and able. This is ag , o account to render of our boys, and we arc proud to rccold their standing. The officers are very popular, and improve in efficiency with their command. The Rangers, with nine other companie4, forme I a temporary regimental organization for drill before being swot a in. This will, of course not be continued. The four Lan caster county companies will be placed in the same regiment, and will probably be sent into camp at West Chester, when regi mental officers will be elected. At three o'clock the drums beat for reg . - mental parade. Several of the comparOes were being inspected and mustered into ser vice at the time, and only a battalion of six companies appeared on parade, among which the Cookman Rangers did not appear to dis advantage (except in the matter of head gear and breeching, as above mentioned).— We had every reason to be proud of the movement of Capt. Fisher's men, and were proud accordingly. Our correspondent Ottona tx will probably give a record of the inspection, swearing in, so we will give him the word. Toe News.—Ltst week was an eventful one. The struggle was commenced 'by an advance of the Federal troops from Wash ington into Virginia, and the capture of Alexandria. We give the telegraphic sum mary and the newspaper details on our out side. Sinro that time there have been many rumors, but no collisions with the enemy except skirmishes ttith picket guard 4. The United States forces are entrenching them selves on the Virginia bank of the Potomac, around Alexandria and on Arlington Ueights. Northern troops are being push ed forward rapidly to Washington and For ' tres • Munrae. The Virginia troops aro re ported as entrenching at the junction of the Manassas Gap and Orange and Alexandria Railroads, twenty-seven miles from Alexan d ria On Monday two thousand Ohio troops crossed into Virginia nt Parkersburg, the termination of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad, and tock possession of that road towards Grafton, nt which point the latest accounts stated that two thousand Virginia ttoo?s were gathered. At the same time a still larger force of Federal troops crossed into Virginia below Wheeling, item whence the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad also runs to Grafton. These two bodies are thus equi distant from a cimtnan point of cunceufra tion. A. de-patch fiom St. Louis states that the United States tr ops have taken possession of Bird's Point, an important military posi tion on the M issoo , i shore, opposite to Cairo. From Fut,ress Monroe, we learn that General Boller has placed two thousand tire hundred troops on Nen pot News Point, where they are engaged in throning up en trenchments. The troops were conveyed in transports under convoy of the Ifattict Lane. They were firel on from Setvell's Point. but no damage done. Nen port News Point is at the month of the James river, six miles above II smpton and on the some side of Hampton It ovl4. It is opposite to, and about six miles distant from Sewell's Point. The two Pennsylvania reg:ments, that have been stationed on the , /ine of the rail road, near the Susquehanna liver. arrived in Baltimore en ‘Vednesday, by the dolphin railroad, marched across the City to the Northern Central depot arid took tra; ,, i, it is s opp.pied for Gettysbw-g. via the Han over rand, from which point they can ea%ily reach either Hagerstown nr Chambersberg. The Second Pennsylvania Regiment :Arri ved at Baltimore on Sunday evening by the Northern Central Railroad, and passing along the outskirts of the city, took the Fred• crick road. They were followed by a num ber 1,1 vehicles carrying camp equipage and Biting indication. ,ii .in iatention to rt.camp somewhere in the vicinity of the city. They are now • quartered at Catonsville, Maryland, cutting oft' supplies to the rebels, from Baltimore. The returns from twenty counties in Western Virginia, received at Wheeling, re port a large majority in each against seces sion. The returns from the eastern part of the State'ihow a small vote, nearly unani mous, for secession. Twenty-one counties in the Western part of the State have given an aggregate majority cf IG,GGI against se cession. Loudon county has given one thousand majority against the ratification of the ordinance. The Postmaster General has issued a pro lamation announcing that the mails for the seceded States will be suspended on and after the 31st inst. The mails for Western Virginia will be sent to Wheeling. Tim Mosrumes.—lLtarmt fur June opens with et e of Ross Browne's sprightly Cali fornia sketches, spiritedly illustrated.

Spy Our Army Correspondence. C.% C SCOTT. May 23, 1861 DEAR Sry —Still in C ucp Scott, and un der marching orders, but never a march, ex cept on drill and parade. Friend Spy, your owespodent has reluctantly come to the de cision that the flee regiments now in Camp Scott, are to be kept at home expressly to put down the uprising of the people that sure to occur Ivlien that long suffering; col lective, the Public, realizes the rascality of those in authority. The patriotism of Penn sylvania being sufficiently proven by the o tgerness with which her masses rushed, unarmed and almost unclad, to the ranks, upon the call of government, there appa rently remains no farther necessity fir any display of patriotic disinterestedness, or even of common honesty, on the part of those having charge of the s pply—food, clothing. &c.,-,lepartments. These .vorthies, selected from the class of Pennsylvania pol iticians (than whieli, without distinction of party, there exists not on the face of this eat th n more abandoned and utterly nod criminally selfish brood) seem to have, with instinctive unanimity, decide!" that the present war, instead of a righteous assertion of the very vital principles of self-govern ment, is a gran 1 scheme—n. "big thing," to be lobbeyed, and log-rolled, and axe-ground —sprung upon the people for the pecuniary benefit of themselves, the buzzards who hover over the State Capitol and gorge them. selves from the public carcase. I will not reiterate the thousand charges of corruption which a , 3 daily made against those who have furnished the supplies: God knows our clothing is poor enough; but we could bear to be Ply clad it we were not in addition condemned to inactivity, while the troops of other States arc rushed forward to the post of honor. It 7 s well known that the First and Second Pennsylvania llc,giments were among the very first in the Union to respond to the call for volunteers. '1 hey were or ganized. ar.ned and dispatched on import ant and perilous duty within a neck after President Lincoln's Proclamation was is. sued: yet such has been the subsequent shameful neglect that here we are—the First guarding railroad bridges, and the Second lying moulding in a mud hole of a camp, putting the finishing touch to their always 3 :de unit-nal! r.tri it Le that we are kers, here for the benefit of the army contractors of the neighborhood? Oh! fur active ser vice and a tight, that the purifying ordeal of fire may separate the true metal from the dross! I think we of the Second will make a good "heat," and come through the squeezer and the rolls with both honor and profit. I think the result of a battle will prove to the world that Pennsylvenia's men are. not to blame for her present attitude of inefficiency. To get back to our more immediate "mut tons!" Our Company goes on steadily im proving in drill and discipline. Capt. Ram bo is a good drill officer, is kind and humane, and is generally well liked by his men. A few of the boys who play '•old soldier"—re port themselves sick when guard or other duty is to be performed—complain of the captain's strictness, but these fellows don't receive a tithe of their deserts. Lieutenants Kelsey and Bruner are improving them selves both in thenry and practice, and per form their respective duties efficiently. In fact, but •few companies in the volunteer ,•ervice are better officered than Company F. Our camp is very dull, even the fifth Cor poral's enzertsinment hating been suspended Our friends from home have almost ceased to tisit ui. I hope, with all others in camp, that nest week may bring us more active duties. In such conjuncture you may look for a more interesting epistle from Tit 11181 .?Qt".l D.

MI DEAR --- You may by this time hare heard of the departureof the Second and Third Regiments from Camp Scott. We received our orders yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, and the two regim.nt. were ready to march by r annany 1• was the fret in roe with knapsacks packed and slung, haversacks and canteens filled. The regiments formed on the parade ground and took up the march for the railroad. We got off from York at at about eight o'clock and arrived at Chem bersburg, at about 7/ o'clock this morning. We were marched out to Camp McAllen, where we remained until about four o'clock this afternoon, when were ordered' back to town, where we are now stationed. Company P occupies a School House, and the boys are comfortably quartered. The two regiments with the exception of two companies are scattered through the town. The men had the run of the town after our return from camp this afternoon, and I am proud to say that our fellows did not in the least abuse the privilege. Chambersburg, is a pleasant little town and the home of our Colonel. The Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Regiments have been en camped here at Camp Slifer for some weeks. This afternoon the three regiments paraded through the town, making a very handsome, display. There are rumors of other regi meats to be stationed here and a new camp to be formed, and I imagine that before many days our force will be an imposing one. I suppose you would like to know the cause of our hurried movement in this di rection. So t001.11:1 I. I can on'y conjectu-e that we may be designed as a portion of the force to be advanced against Harpers Ferry. There was .t committee from Williamsport, Maryland, here to-day to insist that one or two regiments shall be sent there. They have a good many secessionist among,t them, and they fear these will be aided by an advance of the rebel troops from Virgin ia, if not held in chcA by our forces. I don't know how lung we shall be here—not a great while, I suspect. I believe that the balance of our three months will prove more active and eventful than We portion which has passed so quietly and distastefully— at least I hope so. Our boys are all well and in good spirits. We were reluctantly compelled to leave one of our number—Edward Miller--at York. Ile was not ab'e to leave with us, an I in fact is not sufficiently robust for the expos ed life he must expect—with him the spirit is far superior to the fl esh. We were very sorry to part with him. To lose one of our number 1.4 like losing one of a large family. Tell the friends of our boys that they are doing famously, and are the.pride of their Captain and Liettonant Colonel. Yours, &c DEPARTURE OF TIWOPS. Early on satur day morning last, the loft wing of the twelfth regiment took the cars for the purpose of relieving the First Regiment, who have been guarding the bridges and track of the road between the ISl.tryland line Roblin ire since our last issue.

ShPoting Affair on Sattrday Night Ou Saturday night List a man named Robert Sleeper, a member of the Washing ton Rifles of Mount Joy, was shot dead by a young man named. Andrew Brubaker, on the farm of John Den'inger, about three miles /rum this city, to the left of the Har risburg pike, under the following circum stances: It appears that the barn of Mr. Denlinger had been threatened with destruc tion by fire, and ho had in consequence plac ed a guard around it, composed of the sons of farmers to the neighborhood. On Saturday night about twelve o'clock, three men came to the road in front of the barn, got over the fence, and came tip to the pen, directly above which Mr. Bruba ker mid three companions were btationed.— sleeper got into the pen. and took posses sion of a turkey. with a hich he was making off, when Brubaker called on him to stop, upon which he dropped the turkey but kept on. The matting was repeated three times in English, and twice in German without effect, upon which Brubaker fired, but not with the intention of killing him. It hap pened, however, that he by some means slip ped or changed his position, a d the load took effect in his left bide, instead of his lower limbs, killing him instantly. Bruba ker came into the city shortly and gave him self up to the authorities. An inquest was held over the body by Deputy Coroner Sny der, about 4 o'cloc4. on Sunday morning, when a pest morzem examination of the body was nude by Dr. J. F. Huber, who found that the load, evidently duck shot, had entered the posterior part of the chest, breaking off three ribs, and lodging in the left lung. Sleeper lived about twenty min utes, dying from the hemorhage of the wound, the principal arteries of the body being severed. Judging from the concen tration of the shot, Brubaker must have been but a short distance off when he fired. The shooting took place at ten minutes before twelve o'clock. The verdict was death by shot fired from a gun in the hands of An drew Brubaker. Mr. Brubaker had a hear ing before Alderman Van Camp this morn ing, at which the facts already given were elicited. The body of the deceased was ta ken to the Poor House, and will be interred by the Coroner. After the occurrence, two men came to the house for something to eat, but none of the witnesses having noticed the two who accompanied Sleeper, they could not say whether tin se were the same men or not. The dead man is said to have visit ed the same house on Friday evening, and VMS treated with the greatest kindness—the people of the house giving him and his com panion both provisions and a small sum of money. They had been at several of the other houses in the neighborhood for provis ions, and had been well received at all of them; that this is not tho first time that the same acts of kindness have been done to wards the soldiers by the same people—so that no excuse can possibly be given fur the man who could be so wickedly ungrateful a= to be willin; to rub one who had been his bk?nefactor but a l'oa: !wars Lc ruct With iht• duct Tn , I" the., men wfts evident ly plundtn„t:, t:acits were. f• quid ire tlie fields adjacent, ni4d the nTal of whiA had no doubt been st.,len by the siona party. This - fatal termination of.their expelitiun should prove a warning to others who may engage in similar operations, There is no, necessity for our vollateirk-stealing when they need it, and this man knew-the. fact by experience. Our citizens are willing and ready to do all in their power fur the comfort an 1 assistance of the volunteers quartered amongst us, and are naturally in censed at such a return as this, and can feel but little pity for the-man.who.,met his fate so suddenly. But they must remember that there are bad men everywhere; and must not judge the Camp by any such scamps who have found their way into the companies. The deceased is said: to be from .Datuphin county, but we have no reliable knowledge of his previous residence or chars3ter. Mr. Brubaker bad a hearing before Judges Lone: and Brinton, this afternoon at half past one o'clock. Hon. Thos. E. Franklin appeared for the Commonwealth, and Ed ward Reilly, Esq., fur the defendant. The Court, after hearing the testimony, held him to bail in the sum of slo,ooo.—Lancavf7 Express, Nay 27th. Resignation of .Gen. Pinvianoe. The following letter of resignation has been handed to Gjv.

SAMUEL L. PCRVIANCE. Tue. EsouniAux Doc.—The Esquimaux dog is a character—his disposition a riddle. Ile has a wicked eye and a treacherous physiognomy, yet he seldom attempts vio lence to man. A stick or stone will drive him away instantly, should his proximity prove unpleasant. With his follows he is apt to be quarrelsome. If one be worsted in the struggle, the whole gang fall upon him, and then his life is not worth a farthing, unless his master comes to the rescue. In like manner they all rush upon a man, should lie , thance to fall and fail to spring to his feet before they can reach him. When harnessed to the kommetiks or sleds, if the sled be suddenly checked by an obstruction, they instantly pitch into each other indis criminately, and the fight is only stopped by a vigorous application of the whip.— This whip is a cdriosty—the handle not more than a foot in length, and the lash often as long as nine fathoms. An expert will use it with wonderful dexterity; hitting the smallest object its length from him.— This implement is us essential to dog driving as steam is to locomotives, but its constant use is a severe tax to the muscles of the arm. When two persons are riding together, they relieve each other at frequent intervals. The dogs are attached to the sledge each by a single trace of seal hide, the traces of dif ferent lengths, and are driven abreast, spreading out like a fan, as they run. The tracks upon the snow are like those left by a drove of wolves passing. The sledge is from three to sixteen feet in length, with tow runners shod with whalebone or iron, and lashed to their cross-pieces of wood by strong strips of seal bide. To the Esqui maux the dog is almost indispensable. Axe; T.NT SIJCERATITION VS. MODERN' SCI CNCE.—Six hundred years ago it wasbelieved that scrofula could be cured by the touch of a king, and that the fever of a wound was abated by salving the weapon that caused it! These, and fifty other similar absurdi tie? of which we read in tracing the progress of the healing art, now only excite a con temptuous, smile; but, even in this enlight cued era, prejudice and egotism sometimes stt uggle to pet petuate error. and venture to question the most palpable end self-evident I..dthA. Ihr9, when Holloway, ad Ler .years of stody and experiment, ushered his all-powerful rentclies before the world in their present pet rectcd state, their efficacy was denied by many jealous practitioners. These men were the slaves offormu'z; persons who be- Neva that truth moved in a circle like a blind horse in a mill-track. They regarded Holloway as an innovator; and so be wits. Ills innovations have astonished—nay, more, they have coa.vincel and delighted the world. The most formidable ulcerous and eruptive maladie3, with which science has heretofore waged an unequal combat, are now sub bred by the penetcartig Ointment for the care of external diseases and injuries, and his fain ms Nis are administered with marvelous &recess for many dangerous in ternal disorders. We have not arrived at this conclusion hastily. It is the duty of the press to in restive bcf.ore it approves. Public opin ion is, to'a certaTn extent, based upon its statements, and in all matters which concern the health and life of man, it cannot be too cautious or too scrupulous. But it is also the province of the press to give the widest notoriety to important facts, and to render justice to great public benefactors. The tes timony in favor of Professor Holloway's re medies emanates from all classes and from every quarter of the globe. It is enthusias tic, voluminous, and clnsisteat. To deny it, would be to fly in the face of the laws ufjv , idence, and would eviuco stupidity, not eau lion. If there be any thing in which the judg ment of it human being may Le relied up it is the effect which a remedy pro I uces up in him when sick.

ANECDOTES OF TUE Wes:.—A few days before the battle of Charleston Harbor, Major Ander son found two gunners talking very earnestly in an embrasure, and questioned them as to their discussion. wThe floating Battery. sir, was the subject of our dispute," said one of the "Well," replied Major Anderson, smiling pleasantly, c‘l think you, ought to' Sink that Subject While Sumter and the harbor batteries were exchanging iron compliments, the officers of the.tleet outside the bar were looting on with great interest and powerful glasses.
