To varlet:a STEVENS.--We notice that Mr. Snerens has been placed, fitly, at the head of the Corn mitte of Ways and Means in the House. lie is decidedly the umn for Ilie place, and tne man fur Penn sylva•iia to have there. While he will look t 3 the interest of the whole country, he will by no means neglect the peculiar a•.tnts of Ida owe great Commonwealth. With the absurd clamor raised by Near York impor ters and English manufacturers against the Morrill Tariff, we need a chairman of the Ways and Means who will hare sense enough and stamina enough to disregard the causeless demand fur reduction of duties mi our great etaple. We think Mr. Stevens will stand firm against any injurious tinker ing of our present tariff, and his influence will be powerful in the right direction. His position also gives him the leadership of the House; there is no need to say in what manner he will support the vigorous meas ures tar the Government.

The marks of s livly battle were visible—scars of cannon ball and bullet on trees, fences, $o There was no doubt of the issue of the tight, however, for scattered everywhere were the knapsacks of .tlie enemy—mostly of the First Virginia 'Volunteers—dropped in their flight before our advance.

There was nothing of much value, but we eagerly gathered up us mementos of the first light, the knapsacks, which were imeedily rum maged.

Their army in front of us is. bet down by rumor at 30,000 —probably exaggerated—but we shall go at it, whatever its strength, with full confi dence of thrashing therebels. They show less fight than the Mexicans, and are either cowardly eogs, or fuel the weight of our cause against them. We look to to-morrow as certain to bring us a big fight. We—Wynkocp's Brigade— ! support Doubleday's Battery, and fight with it.

We took our coffee and crackers with a relish, and after placing stror.g camp and picket guards made our beds amongst the ripe grain, and slept the sleep oft wears.— Wagnmi being scarce our tents, with the exception of four. were left at Williamsport.

Oor force eamsists of the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, Sib, 9th, 10th, Ilth, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 10th, 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th Regiments Penna. Volunteers; let Regiment Wiscon-in Volunteers, McMullen's Rangers, Perkins' 11,otery „r six pieces (Regulars). First City Troop, of Philadelphia, and two or three companies of Regular Cavalry—al togetker about 11,000 Melt, some of the regi ments nut being full. We have been ex pecting a battle every day since our arrival the enemy lying some six miles from us, re ported 19,000 strong. The pickets come into daily collision. Our boys think it hard that we are. held back. We are sure of thrashing the rebels at any odds. Jets Sra.--We have jest received orders to prepare for a forward movement early to-morrow morning—our regiment to start ;It 4 o'clock. We have been largely rein- forced. Doubleday is here with his ponder ous 324, nod the Rhode Island Marine Bat tery with six rifled pieces. The Ist, 18th and part of the 25th Pennsylvania Reg- i ilium's, the let New Hampshire and the oth ' and 2Sth New York Regiments have ar rived, increasing our effective force to fully 17,000 mon—the different arms fairly pro portioned: Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry. This accounts fur our delay. A fight is im minent and must seine in a day or two. Look fur a "big thing." We expect to be in, and will do our whole duty, hoping to reflect some credit on the good old town that sent us forth to du battle for her and for car country. We were visitel to-day by James Clod• borne and John Miller, formerly of Colam. bia, Claiborne is a rrivato in the Scott Legion (2fith Penna.) Miller a private in the lith. George Brooks (a graduate ofl the Sp.,/ offs se) of McCormick's L chiel Grays, 25th Regiment, also culled to see us this evening. Brooks is well and looks the soldier. David Welsh of our town is also here, (private in the 17th) looking well and hearty. I had the pleasure of seeing our old friends, the Ist, as they filed into town. Cliff Haldeman was mountedion a bageage wagon, foot sore, having been sewe I up on the long march from Frederick. Corporal Iless was in the ranks looking rugged and hearty. The Ist is to remain at M mins burg as a garrison, consequently will not take part in the coining battle. Our friends Stcaoy & Eherlein arri% ed here a few days a;), provided with goods to supply the 16th Pennsylvania, they hav ing been appointed sutlers, as you are dpbtle,s aware. Steady was well, but I am sorry to say that Col. Eberloin has re• Iturned to Hagerstown on the sick list. Every ruin of Company F. is ready for service in the morning; they are now busy ; cooking provisions, orders being to carry ' fire days' rations. Tailoo is now heating l and 1 must close. My next will be from somewhere "down in old Virginny." Look sharp fur news of fight or foot-race. CAUP MASON AND DIXON. July 4th, ISGI. FRTEKp Srr:—Where you have so excel lent and regular a correspondent as (Wert 1/41i , my superfluous communications must be occasional, and as the "itch" Metes me.— You doubtless are spending this glorious old anniversary coolly and comfortably, and as I cannot be with you in body, and am not given to spin tual visitinw, the only remain ing vehicle of communication is the mail.— I will send you greeting on the Foyatm, which finds me among the sterile hills of our frontier. I parted with you at Bedford, but °aura- LT has stumped you over the intervening miles between that place and our present Camp. and teid you how wo lie on the bill aide overlooking Maryland. I will endeav-! or to chronicle the interruptions to our hom .drum routine of dutios—drill. guard,.&c.— which -are few, however, and far between.— First, we have received our uniforms. These consist of two suits, one—full dress—of light blue army cloth jacket and trousers— we will receive the jacket in a day or so— the other is a blue LL use similar to those urn by the three trionth . mcn, but of better crial, and a pair of first rate brown duck trowsers.

'he officers sent to the Commissary to buy' a loaf of broad for their private toothnot-being able to procure such a thing in all the coun try round 'abont 7 -and • were accomodated with a venerable itruCtueo of pre-Adamite date and preternatural flavor; they were com pelled to excavate through several strata of mould berure they arrived at the granitic formation within. On Tuesday we had ppthing but what the boys have christened 'soldiers' pound cake"—the hard bread, or pilot hrcad, which has to be resolved into elementary fl. url3s "poueding before we can eat it at all. To-day, however, because it is the Ricarp, I suppose, we are plentifully supplied with everything. On Tuesday Lieut. Evans, Sergeant Smed ley,' Corporals Smith and Mullen and my self invaded MarylaPl on our own responsi ' bility. We walked irlhut six miles to Cum berland to' get ti sight Of the Indiana boys and hear news of t 9.lcesle. We were welcom ed by our old townsman Harry llamaker, of the Steam Sawmill, who showed us around. The people of' Cumberland are s rand and true and desire our advance to encamp near their town. They promise to treat us well, and 'doubtless we would fare much better than where We are—as long as the soil could furnish the vivers; but it is I no Laticastercounty, you must know. Grain stands about as thick on the ground as onions with us. Our friend Ilamaker is Union to the mar row. Ile was unfortunate in losing a very fine horse in rho fight at Pattersoa's creek, the other day. lie bad loaned him .to the gallant Corporal [lays, under whom he was shot. I was in the 'I. mare Camp and had a long talk with Ile is a fighting fowl, and of our neighborhood—originially from York, where he has many relations. The Indiana boys are of the right stripe--flue. intelligent looking fellows. They r.re very anxious that our regiments shall join them, when they are prepared to again show their blood—and spill it if necessary, uti they have' already done. I saw the Virginia Major taken prisoner in one of Cot. Wallace's skir mishes. Ile did'ut look equal to more than a dozen of his captors in t; terrific hand to hand combat. We are not having a very lively 'Fourth to-lay. We varied our drill by a little tar get firing, however. Each man received three rounds of cartridge, and wo fired by sections, and by company. Our boys did no better nor any worse than their fellows at the target, but their fire by company showed their drill—the report of their pieces was itl most simultaneous. Competent judges pro nounced it a highly creditable first attempt. [lad we been near any town we should have had a bit of a celebration, as, I pre bad the gallant Grays in Columbia. 01 course' those warriors are spoiling for a fight. Say to them that now is the accepted time. As if by special pr n ovidenee we are ordered to fill up out ranks to ono hundred mod one men, and as a matter cf course our home boys would be preferred. Wo can give them a chance for non,commissioned of ficers, having four corporals and one ser i geant yet to elect. Let all who are willing to take a hand with us report to Camp Mason and Dixon. We shall be immediate ly mustered into the United States service, after our ranks are filled up, which Nyill give fgir chance to all of the impetuous to speedily have the fighting m )uld rubbed off. Kershner (left behind sick at.llarrisburg) has overtaken us, perfectly recovered. All hands are well and eager to be pushed for ward to SCCOSeIa.

SL:3I3IARY OT THE REPORT or TILE SECRE TARY OP THE TREASURY AND SECRETARY OF WAR.—Who report of the Secretory of the Treasury makes the estimated appropria tions needed $217,105.850.15, exclusive of provisions to pay maturing debt, redeem treasury note., etc. Of this amount the War Department takes $183.296.397.17, anti the Navy 530,609,520.29. As all this cannot be raised by duties on imports, the Secreta ry- recommends that 580.000,000 be presided by taxation and $240,000,000 by loans.— The Secretary proposes to tax imports of tea and coffee, and increase the sugar duties, and by this means be estimates that $15,- 000,000 of additional revenue T ,tty be raised. By raising the duties on some lightly taxed imparts, laying duties on exempt ar ticle., and lowering prohibitory dutiesS7,ooo more may be raised, while the inevitable improvement of trade will produce from the rest of the tariff 530,000,000, making in all ;37,000,000, with the 53,000,000 annually received from sugar, tea and coffee under any tariff. From land sales, etc.. $3 000 - 000 may be depended upon, making the to tal revenue $00,000,000. It will be neces sary to raise 5,20,000,000 for the , current yearly expenses by internal duties or excises. The report of the Secretary of War states that the force now in command of the Gov ernment is 310,000 men, which will be re duced to 230,000 after the discharge of the three months' volunteers. Mr. Cameron re commends that the term of enlistment for the new regiments bo three years, and all who are honorably discharged at the 'closo of the term revive a' bounty of $lOO. The appropriations required beside that already made for the year ending Juno 30, for the force 'now in the Geld is stated at $135,296,- 307. The report recommends a reorganiza tion of the militia and of the system of ed ucation at West Point.
