We pub lished that gentlemen's marriage on the au thority of a note received through the Poet, requesting the insertion of the notice, and signed "Jumt BaaNss." It was to all up• pear:lnce genuine, and we innocently gave it a place in the Spy. Mr. Barnes was nat urally ins ;;mutt by this unwarranted an nouncement, and still more outraged on discovering the forgery of his name to the letter. We risk of any York County papers v:hich may have copied the announcement, as per request of the Spy, to contradict the report.

They-looked remarkably well, and astonished every ono by their excellent marching, and the variety and precision of the evolutions learned in so ;hail a time : — Unfortunately the men were without arms,, a want that trill probably be remedied as tour, as the fifteen receive regiments of the State are armed. The regula'r officers of the company commanded 'under Major Cua, and evinced a corresponding improvement with the mom we consider theca fully com petent to pot the company through. The Greys paraded forty strong—includ ing officers and drum corps—as fine a look ing set of soldiers as can be found in the - country. Lieut. Bruner entertained the company at Mrs. ticker's Ice Cream Saloon, when they reached that port of the route, after which Quartermaster Green set out fi.r them a characteristic spread, at his resi dence. By Mrs. Beiter's invitation the company again tea. 'her saloon in their route, ancl enjoyed a second installinent of her delicious Ice Cream.

The Ellsworth Itiffes, under Capt. &mil Koire, also paraded. They turned out twenty muskets, of the forty-odd members— oniy that number being uniformed for the oceasion. The dress was black trowsers, with red stripe, gray jacket trimmed with red, and blud cap with red band and top.— They carried shot-guns for the nonce, but will doubtless coon receive their regular arms. They marched and drilled remarka bly well, and did credit to their efficient com mander. They showed the agility of youth, and their progress in theshurt time they he re been drilling, gives promise of crack profi ciency after a while. The company has not yet elected the whole number of officers.— The drill of the Ellsworths on the vacant lot between Second and Third streets on Cherry, attracted a crowd nf spectators and aemirers. There was no public meeting in town, but there were patriotic exercises, singing and orations in the woods near Shawnee Run, at a Pie Nic of the Welsh Sunday School, which passed off pleasantly, wo understand. in the evening the members of the Co lumbia Fire company paraded the streets with their floseCarringe, headed by Martial Music. It was an impromptu parade but got up with the known patriotio spirit of the Company. We must not forget to mention that the Vigilant Fire Company, hung Jeff Davis in effigy before their Engine Geese, where the counterfeit presentment of the arch traitor swung all day to the great delight of the i patriotic juveniles. The Town Hall boll did its duty; and a handsome little rifled cannon, got up by Supplee 45: Bro., added to the din. For want of time we must defer n word or two con cerning this weapon far another day. The small boys of course, had the usual display of small fire works, and those of larger growth made the whisky and lager suffer some, but on the whole the day was not a disorderly one.

I spent the balance of Wednesday at Grafton in finishing up my aketchesfor Harper, and this completed, I looked aroand me for fresh food for my pencil. Finding that the secessionists had been so effectually scared and %chirped out of the region that no fighting was to be ea peered for same time— consequently no room for pictorial adventure-1 concluded to re trace my steps to Wheeling. I accordingly Icft Grafton on Thursday about noon and reached Wheeling at four o'olock, having met with every courtesy on the part of the Railroad officials on my return trip. I found ' the city naotamorphosed—alive with stran ' gets, delegates to the Western Virginia Con vention, which bittly convened on Wednes day. The MeLare house was crowded with 1 delegates—carnitat lookittg men of decidedly high stamp, and, of course, Union men with out cmdition or reserrc.tiott. They struck I me as having in their . 00Mposalitn u fair percent4ga of the Metal Tied in in casting our Revolutionary fathers—willing to'litake life and fortune on the throw for freedom from the intolerable yoke sought to be fit ted to their necks by the over-riding rebels of the State. Their work in the Convention will be that of patiioti, and thoroughly well done, I venture to predict. On Friday I applied for admission to the Convention, and in my character of "Spe -1 cial" of the Spy, readily found accommoda tion among the reporters. The press has its privilege, as I have found daring this lit tle journey of mine, in many instances. In fact, I have only bad to name my errand. wherever I bare been thrown, to secure ev• ery attention and accommodation. Although fully alive to the important characteril the assembly, to which I had obtained admission, and the interesting character of the busies:a and discussion pro gressing' before inc, my reportorial were sabjeCt to my artistic fiat:ides. I can give You no reliable scent:lli of the proceedings, as I soon left he reporters' desk fora more favorable station for sketching this to-be- Memorable body of patriotic men in session.

In procuring a retired and conve nient seat for sketching I Was much indebt ed to the courtesy of Thomas - llornbrook, Collector of Customs at Wheeling, who was acting as Sergeant at Arm. to the Convention. On making known my desire, he showed cze to , a seat along those reserved for ladles, where sketched at my ease, with none to molest or make me afraid.— Aly more experienced reportorial brethren showed me every .atteption. ;le of the Pitt burg Dispatch was ,particularly atten tive, and on meeting subsequently at the MoLure Boise we 'mixed" like old Baer and water. On Saturday I left Wheeling at ten o'clock A. M., fur Pittsburg, reaching the latter city in the afternoon. I spent Sunday amid the stake and filth of Pittsburg—solaced for those however by the comfortable goer tars at 4. good ,f,eed of the Monongahela louse, which to your correspondent was manna after the .rough fare of rural Vir ginia. The Monongahela is certainly ono ' of the bust houses I have ever stopped at. Here I might properly clooe my random sketch of my jaunt, as I bad left the scenes of war, but I may as wolf add that on Mon day, accompanied by my acquaintance of the Dispatch and a brother of the craft from the same enterprising daily, I visited the celebrated Fort Pitt Iron Works, where the immense ordnance of Government is cast. The latgs force of hands was engaged in finishing up a number of Columbinds. Un fortunately I did not hit the hour for cast ing. However, there Fag much of interest which I have not room to describe. Myself and companions afterwards took cars on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, some twelve miles to Camp Wright, of which I made a sqetch. This is beautifully situated on the Allegheny riyer, and is the Western Camp for the Reserve Regiments of that portion of the State. Tho Camp was originally I, - cated in the Allegheny County Fair Grounds, near Pittsburg, but there were many objec tions to the location, including want of space, so it was changed to the pleasant spot it now occupies. I found in Ccmp Wright about forty-two companies. Of these the Erie County Regiment, under Col. Jno.lV. McLane was the only one organized. I don't know whether Camp Wright is named fur Col. Jan. A. Wright, Aid to Gov. Curtin, or fur the Editor of the Spy: prob ably, all circumstances considered, the lat ter.

Camp McCall was broken up on Wednes day morning last, at 7 o'clock, at which hour we commenced to march southward, through Cumberland Valley. We marched but twelve miles the first day. Although, the march was a short one the boys suffered a, good deal from the heat, and a want of provisions: a little raw meat and a few crack ers were the only rations given out at Camp McCall when we left. A number had not even that. The country through which we marched could supply the troops with very little, as the people, as well as the land, seem poor. Thu few spring houses along the lino of march, ad to suffer some. We marched again ea: ly on 'F•fmraday morn inp, and encamped in a sugar maple grove, to the eaat and west of which arose abrupt hills one of is wooded, and neither fit to drill on. Camp Mason and Dixon is but a quarter of at mile from the Maryland line. Since leaving Bedford I have noticed no eters and stripes flung to the breeze, although it was known before hand that we were coming. I doubt not a large majority of the citizens whom we met along the march aro loyal citizens, but there are some who if not traitors, are indifferent as to the success of our arms. Whilst encamped on vr ednesd ay night a number of our boys, and some from other cerniutnittf, to the number of one hundred, went about a mile from camp. and obtained a good supper at Nre. lYm. Smith's. Mrs. S., although apparently over sixty years of age, was :this with her own hands to make cakes (shcirt cakes) and bake them as feat as they could be eaten by that number. She set eight at table at once: I suppose it must have been three orfour hours before the whole number had eaten. She was willing and seemed able to supply as many more. She • positively refused anrcompannation what ever. Cur boys all feel grateful for the kindness, and they desire me through the medium of your paper to make their ac knowledgement of the kindness. We encamped on the promises of G. Boerts, 'who evidently, was well to do in this world's goods; his buildings were large, and land seemed much better than any we bad seen. yet he was mean enough to charge tsysnty five cents for a cup of coffee, and mean slop at that. ilia charges for sleeping. dsc., were in proportion. Some of the koys felt indignant and de termined to have amps revenge upon him.— They quarried a ho!e through the wall of the spring house, and oleaucd it out com pletely of milk and butter. We are yet (Friday morning) without ade quate rations or any of our luggage:which *e left at Camp McCall. We understand vragene could not be procured fur their cdaveyance. We have no tante.

Some of the boys (I shan't name the.com pany to which they belonged) b,eing nearly starved, started on a foreaging expeditiuu; on their own account yesterday afternoiin, cad brought into camp a young steer and calf, yliie c h they cut up and when about half cooked, it was seised by the ufficez:s as con trubaud. The C. R. managed however to ounceal enough fur supper, which they cot into ateaks and roasted on sticks. Tom. ,lake Fraley, Welsh, itrid ono or two more of our buys lived, during our march, on the fat of the land, they man aged to elude the vigilence of the officers. OH-latter, Pies, Milk, and Chickens, they had supplies, always. Campbell's battery is planted to command the hills on both sites of us, pickets have boon thrown out several miles from camp. We don't know how long we will remain in Camp Mason and Dixon. We are but a few miles from the enemy, who are in farce a short distance from Cumberland, hid.— Should they make a demonstration rewards pentisylvAitia, we will tutdeubtedly advance to meet and give them battle. The bops are all ready. A few persons have maliciously slandered Capt. Gregg: a more generous and brave of ficer dues not live. Ile was clio-en Col. of the 2nd Regiment of the Pa. R. V. Corrs.— Almost immediately thereafter ho was offer ed a captaincy in the Regular Army, which he concluded to accept, but only on condi tion that Cul. Simmons one of the most ex perienced men in the V. States B.riny should succeed him. The following day the Regi ment was ordered off to the seat of war to relieve Cul. Wallace who was thought to be hemmed in by the enemy. Cul. Gregg in, stantly upon the receipt of the news took summand of his company, and marched with us. • The health of the Cookman Rangers is good--tnueh better than that of other emu. ponies. We obtained a supply of Col. Shoch's preparation for Diarrhcea at liar ri,borg and gegurd, which has proved of the greatest value. Letters and papers should be directed to Camp Mason and Dixon, Bedford county. We have heard no news from home, or the seat of war fora we.ok. Won't friends eepd, occasionay, a Ziew York Papery CAMP SPIELMAN, June 26, 1861 Dean SPI":—By the date of this you will learn that we have made another move in advance. We left runkstown last evening. and after a march of ten miles arrived at this place at eleven o'clock at night. We (the Second and Third Regiments) bivou acked in n field belonging to Hiss Spielman —hence Camp Spielman-.occupying a strong defensible position near the Potomac. It is rumored that strong bodies of rebels are in the habit of crossing from Virginia near this point to plunder the loyal citizens of the neighborhood; and we hear, too, that a strong force of the Confederate troops passed ever, day before yesterday, the road we marched on last night. So you see we may have a little brush. if we are good boys. and keep a sharp look, out. I don't know the position of the other Brigades, but suppose they are gradually following us towards the river. Doubleday (he of Sumpter) has two "big guns" in po sition zt Williamsport, and completely com mands the ford at that point. We are about eight miles below on the Potomac, and are doubtless intended to clear the country of the marauding bands, and prepare the way for n general advance of Gen. patterson'a Division into L irginia. If the secessionists ate in sufficient force we may soon look fur a fight. Our boy,' 4tood the march well. Tyler, Sullivan and Derrick stoned ;her:pelves in the baggage wagons and brought up the rear. Charles Long, (German) a good. sol dier, being sick, was sent into fingerstown Hospital. John R. Richards, very sick, was honorably discharced and sent home. The rest of the Company are all well and on duty. On 'Monday evening our boys were stirred up by the arrival of Lieut. Col. Welsh from Columbia, whither he had been on a couple of days' visit. IP returned with letters, &c., for almost every man in the company. There was general rejoicing. Rambo & Fry (A. M. and W. W.) arc , sutlers to the Second Regiment. They are now with us, and supply the boys with the little luxuries of camp. (Everything outside of our rations, which may, without exagger ation, be styled bare necessaries of life, is with us considered a luxury.) Will Rambo accompanied Col. Welsh from Columbia, to join his father. On march last evening he asked fur a musket, was furnished one, and marched bravely with our company during part of the night, to all appearance ready and willing to take a hand in any fighting that might be stirred up. Even the little boys trout Columbia are soldiers. I will endeavor to gat you later news for neat week's Spy.

In this en counter the intrepid and fearless Hays was wounded severely, and when the battle seemed to he over, the victors were leisurely making their arrangements to send their he roic leader and'spoils to Cumberland, the enemy again appeared arid resumed the at tack with increased strength and fury. The Zouavos were now reduced to 10 men, two being on their way to Cumberland to con reY hither their blseding Chief , but th,ey entered into .the desperAto strife with the fearlessness of the Spartan of old. The bat tle raged for an hour. The traitors fell one after another in sapid succession from the deadly aim and certainty of the minnie ri fle and its awful sabre. About 7/ o'clock an express arrived from the scene of . :action and found the Zouaves under drill. In an instant every man was begging to be sent to the relief of their fel low soldiers. 4 detackaen,t of bout 5Q men was ken( under the command of 1\13,j, 11.. , binson. After proceeding a few miles the apprOnch of night induced them to return to this city. This morning ut 4 o'clock, Col. Wallace sent a detachment, consisting of three com panies, to the scene of action. They return ed this afternoon and brought the dead body of one Zoonve, and reported tho death of 23 yirginhins, and the wounding of seven more. The loss of Col. Wallace,s men certainly does nut amount to more than the death or one man who is a private in Company I. and whose name is John C. Holinback, and the :sounding of flays, who will be kept a non-combatant for a few days. Many are the e:citinr, incidents of this battle already related to us, but we cannot now detail them. Th,e fgllen Zounve survi ved his wound untill this morning, when upon Isis captors hearing the approach of his res. cuers, they, in cold blood, murdered him with their bayonets. Life had scarcely de parted when he fell into the hands of his companions. All are excited, and every tongue praises the matchless hravery of this handful of men. Corporal Hays is in the mouth of every one. Ile is a man of tremendous strength and knows ' 7 . fear. He slew three in the strife, one of whom fell after he bad all his wounds. He is no stranger in such scenes, hrving gone through similar ones in the Mexican war. 4 soldier this moment tell, us that he received the eleventh bali in his body, and that Louis Farley killed six Vir. ginians and wounded another in this battle. This is conceded on all hands to be one of the most during achievments in modern war fare, and reflects imperishable honor on Col. Wallace's Zouaves, and particularly upon those immediately engaged. man dcubts the valor of the 11th Indiana Z.ouavee. ORDERLY To furnish an idea of the desperation of this deadly contest, we need only to state that not ILss than 10 horses liver° killed and wounded in the action. BATTLE ON TUE UPPER POTOMAC.

DarWe have been shown a document signed by the Mayors in office of the pities of he United States and Canada, certifying to the Superior excellence of Dr. Ayer's Com pound Extract of Sarsaparilla and to the value of all his reline lies as articles of great public utility. Such evidence from such high source bears us cut triumphantly in the posi tion we have lung maintained with regard to Duct._Ayer,s preparation, or more portico lacy our advertisements of them. No pub lishers need be more opposed than we are to the promulgation of quackery in any shape, but we knew when we began, that his reme dies were above any suspicion of deception —that they were about the best it is possible to produce for the cure of disease, and that they have the confidence of all communities where they are known. Not alone because ti,;.c !layers of the whole country believe them useful to their people, but because we know from experience that they are so to ours, do we believe we are rendering a sub stantial service to our readers in making their virtues known to them.— Courier Prince ton, 41 TUE FIFTEEN REGPIENTS.—Under the vigorous supervision and skii! of General McCall, the I rganization of the fifteen new regiments to be furnished by the State of Pennsylvania, is progre-sing as rapidly tkft possible, and will be complete in a very short time. The regiments are to come up to the minimum standard or the regular ar my, which calls for one thousara and forty men, rank and file—so that when the regi ments are filled up and organized, they will constitute a total force of fifteen thousand six hundred men. In the organization of this force, Gen. McCall is devoting all the ability and knout]• edge of his splendid military experinee, when fairly brought into the field, it will reflect honor alike on he who is in command, Gen. McCall, nnd the glorious cause it is to servp.—/larrisbarg relvraph. iIIPORTANT RAILROAD ARRA.NCEMENT.-- We understand that properly authoriZed representatives of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Philadelphia and ,Etie Railroad Company have united in a mutually satisfactory arrangement for 'permanintly leasing the work of the latter_ named com pany, in its present incomplete and unfinish ed condition,. to the Pennsylvania' Railroad Company. Three millions of the Philadel phia and Erie bonds are to be endorsed tty the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which, it is estimated, will realize more than suffi cient to finish and equip the road. Existing contracts for construction, etc., made by the Erie Railroad Company, are to be carried out, but payments ere to be made under the authority of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, from the three millions of endorsed bonds. The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company has, over and above the three millions named, between three and four mil lions of bonds, the proceeds of which are to be applied to the payment of the Company's debts. The rent under the lease is a per centage of receipts. So far as the negotia tiOMl have progressed they are represented as entirely satisfactiory to the managers of both Companies, and would be consumated by them, but in a matter of so much innior tance it is deemed advisable to have the ap proval and authority of shareholders, whose sanction will no doubt be obtained as soon as meetings can be called for the purpose. -- 7 Harrisburg Tekgroplt. 18th inst.
