Ser The rumors in regard to Mr.
Buchanan having left, or intending
to leave, Lancaster for Europe; that,
he has left Wheatland from fear 'of
being assassinated, &e, are all' bosh.
Mr. Buchanan supports the Govern.
went, the Constitution and the Union,
as he has always 'done. The only
threat that has' been made against
him is by Gen. Twiggs, who promises
to come to Lancaster to holdthim per
sonally responsihle'for having ordered
his name to be stricken from the roll
of the army as a traitor. If feces.
sary Lancaster county alone would
raise 10,000 men in one day to defend
Mr. Buchanan from all such enter.
prises. Moreover, we think that even
a peaceful mission of Twiggs to Lan
caster would be rather premature at
present.

afar The Legislature of Maryland
met on Friday last. The message of
the Governor is a moderato document,
detailing the events that transpired
in Baltimore and other parts of.Mury
land during the previous 'ten days,
and acknoWledging.that he was pow
erless to prevent the outrages of the
mob in Baltimore, or the 'passage of
the U. S. Troops across the soil of
that state. He recommends the State
to assume a neutral position and thus
save itself from calamities impending.
The Senate it is said favors the views
of the Governor and will not pass an
ordinance of secession at present, but
the House is rampant for immediate
secession. The Legislature is in ses
sion at Frederick, but many of the
members are urgent to go to the Capi
tol (Annapolis,) notwithstanding the
presence of 'the U. S. Troops 'there.
They say the U. S. government dare
not molest them no matter what their
action !
Stir The Lebanon Guards arrived
in Washington on Saturday. They
left Annapolis on Friday morning and
marched to the Junction, about 18
miles, and from thence to Washing
ton, 21 miles—in all 39 miles. They
marched with the regiment (the sth,)
and are now comfortably quartered
in the building temporarily erected
for the Inauguration Ball. The march
was a fatigueing one, but the men
have all recovered, and are as hearty
and spry as ever. They arc rapidly
becoming accustomed to soldierS' fare,
and are closely looked after hy their
officers. The President and Seereta.
ry Seward visited the troops on Sun
day afternoon.
On Sunday the Guards held service
in the Representative Hall. The Band
discoursed sacred music.
Is_ The President, on Sunday,
made a requisition upon Gov. Curtin
for twenty additional regiments of
infantry and one of cavalry—making
a total of thirty-eight regiments from
this State, and a grand total of 29,500
men. These regiments will immedi
ately be brought in the field. Ten
regiments of reserve will also be
formed, t 6 be brought.out should oc
casion require.
mg_ The Legislature of this State,
met In extra Session yesterday at
noon. It is said that the Governor
will recommend in his message an ap
propriation of not less than three mil
lions of dollars—perhaps five.
Sor George Law, of New York,
has written a letter to President • in
coin, in which he tells him tbat the
Government must clear the path to
Washington, or the people will do it
for tbeni. There is said to be perfect
unanimity on tbis subject in New
York, and that 60,000 volunteers could
be raised in three days for such an un
dertaking with or without the govern
ment's orders.
RIO llT.—The Mayor of Philadelphia
has issued a proclamation that he will
put down any attempt to organize a
Vigilance Committee there.
Mar It is said that Senator Mason
of Virginia, was arrested at Perrys.
Maryland, on Monday, by order
of Gen. Patterson, and taken to Phil
adelphia. The charge against him is
not stated but we presume it is trea
son.
Mir That party feeling is entirely
lost sight of in the present revolu
tionary period is perceptible all over
the North. But the following from
the. New York Times, the staunchest
supporter , of• Lincoln for the Presi.
dency,, and noted for its Republican
ism throughout, is rather stronger
than we were prepared for from even
New York. It is speaking of the
agreement, last week, by Mr. Lincoln
with Mayor Brown, not to take any
more troops through haltimore
"We will simply remark that the President
runs no small risk of being supractied in his of.
fire. if he undertakes to thwart the clear and
manifest determination of the people to maintain
the authority of the Government of the United
States, and to protect its honor. We are in the
midst of a Revolution, and in such emergencies
the people are very apt to- find some repre.ei t ta.
tine leader,lf the forms of law do not happen to
ha v given theta ono. 'lt would be welt for Mr.
Lincoln to bear in mind the possibility of such
en event."
The same paper adds:
"While we hare been pouring forth our treas
ure and offering the bloom of our youth, without
stint or measure, knowing that the robber's hand
is at the throat of our Government. our philo
sophic President has leisure to discuss "all the
questions of the tiny" with the Magistrate of the
rascally crew who have been murdering our sol
diers, and alto seek now to eutus off from saving
Washington I Does the President not know that
we have passed all that long ago? Tho "ques
tions of the day"—Crittenden Compromises or
Republican platforms—are all dead and buried
now. Tho only question now, is, how to save
our country. We must remind those nm iable and
disputatory gentlemen in Washington, that we
are in WAR. The question of a transit for our
soldiers through Maryland is no longer a subject
for debates and arguments. It is it military
question. Some route,'and a'direet one, we must
have through that - State, to Washington, fur
troops and material of war, or we must hold it
with the armed hand. * The President ought
never to have been lcd into such negotiations as
would-give the slightest appearance of justice,
and.a - claim for the withdrawal of the United
•Stlites-seldiers from the soil of Maryland. lie
has notime for such pacific dealings. The bat
teries of the rebels aro thundering at his gates.
He needs every soldier he can got ; and to send
away three thousand men, under an experienced
officer, merely because their presence is thought
insulting to the dignity of Maryland, is the
height of a Quixetic scrupulosity. * We fear
the Administration will only understand the na
ture of the conflict when Col. Lee's batteries are
playing on Washington."'

NEW YottK, April 25—The stemh
tug Yankee has arrived from Norfolk.
She reports•that on arriving at Nor
folk, on the afternoon of the 17th, find
ing that there was a movement on
foot, to seize her, she proceeded to the
Navy Yard, and took protection un
der the guns of the battery. On the
18th, the Custom House officers of
the State came to seize the Yankee,
but the Commodore refused to yield
her up, saying thatif they attempted
to take her by force he would blow
her out of water before' they could
reach Norfulk. This quieted the mob
who had congregated.
The Yankee took the Cumberland in
tow for Fortress Monroe. On the
way she grounded on "Orris" Island,
and the Yankee was two hours *get
ting her off.
The Secessionists observing the
escape of• the Cumberland - commenced
obstructing the channel below her.:—
After towing the frigate, the Yankee
proceeded to New York.
The Pawnee left Washington last
Friday night with an''ektra-•detach
ment of officers, men and Marines,
with flag-officer PAULDIN9 on beard,
and proceeded to Fortress Monroe,
where she received the 3d Massauhe•
sets Regiment, just arrived hence to
the Navy Yard at Gosport.
t was fou ud at Gosport that the of.
fivers in charge had commenced de
stroying the public property, finding
it would fall into the hands of the en,
emy. They had scuttled all the'shiPs.
The Cumberland being the only ship
in commission, cut dawn the shears,
‘and rendered most of the other prop
erty useless.
The object of the rioters having
been partially frustrated by the scut.
ding of the ships, it was intended
that the Federal fb , rees should leave.
Preparations were made to render the
demolition complete, to blow up the
dock, and burn the property, all things
to be ready at daylight
The Pawnee, with the Cumberland
in tow, assisted by the Yankee, start
ed, and after passing the Navy Yard,
sent up a rocket—a preconcerted sig
nal to apply the match—and, in an
instant, ships, ship houses, and store
houses, were in flames.
Large quantities ofprovisions,cord
age, and machineh- we're also.destroy
ed, besides buildings of great value,
but it is not positively'known that the
dock was . blown up.
The-burning of the Navy Yard at
Norfolk was dono by the Union men,
who . fiYe •in a majority but compara
liVely unarmed. The Cumberland was
60ihort of her complement. When
the Pawnee came up 'to Navy Yord,
both the Cionberland and Merrimac lay
broad Side to her with guns loaded,
thinking she was in the hands-of the
Secessionists. 011 board the Pawnee an
opinion prevailed that a similar state
of affairs existed on board those ships,
and the crew were ready accordingly.
When the Cumberland hailed :
"What steamer is that the answer
was, the U. S. Steamer Pawnee. The
cheering on board the vessel and on
shore told how satisfactory this reply
was.
So rapid was the progress of the
conflagration that Commodore Roo.
Las of 'the Navy, and Capt. WRIGHT
of the Engineers, were unable to
reach the peinl of rendezvous, where
the 'boat 'Was 'in waiting, and necessa
rily left,

FROM WASHINGTON DIRECT
WASHINGTON, April 28-12.30 A. lin.—lntelii
genc-e has just been promulgated that telegraphic
communication is again open to New York. It
affords the liveliest satisfaction. The office is be
singed with solkers telegraphing to Their friends.
The ofrtroops frotz j iltnnapolis is very
slow, owing tit the single tracnioing inadequate.
Those now here are alt lit good health and spir
its. The boys excite the greatest admiration by
their aptitude for all seals of labor, whether me
chanical or otherwise, and their Wonderful pow
ers of endurance. They left in such haste that
they were insufficiently provisioned, and under
went much hardship, in consequence, before
teaching here.
The troupe which have arrived to-day are
quartered in the inauguration ball room, the ro
tunda of the Capitol, and in the Treasury build
ing.
All report a bard journey from Annapolis, the
greater part on foot, with a seanty stock of pro
visibbs.
A part bf the troops came over the Annapolis
braneh by railroad, mending thli road Where it
was injured, and in many inattthees being thrown
—locomotive, cars and all—down embankments.
The spikes had been drawn and the rails left.
But as they were going slowly and were on the
look out, no one was seriously injured, but not a
few soldiers still limp in consequence of the
bruises then received. Some of the officers, who
were acquainted with the men, proposed that the
locomotive should be left till morning; hut there
*were. plenty of volunteers, who soon put the train
in running order again. The guard proyed to
be insufficient during yesterday, since several
times the road was found injured within an hour
after it bad been passed.over.
There are now here between six and seven thou
sand volunteers from the North, in the city. Be
tween five and . six thousand"volunteers front the
distract and vicinity, and net far from a thousand
regulars, making a total of somewhere between
twelve and fourteen thousand treops, not includ
ing many who can beseartns on an emergency.
At Annapolis, and between that point and the
city, are,between eight and ten thousand men.
It is said that the steamers land. some three
thousand a day at Annapolis.
The only serious 'accident that' bas occurred
among the troops here was. in the rotunda of the
Capitol, where the „Nigh th Massachusetts regiment
is quartered. A stack of muskets was scciden
tally thrown : down, and three of the guns dia.
charged. A ball passed . through the right foor
of Moses S. Berrick, of the Beverly Company.—
The foot has been amputated. Captain Clarke,
et the Sixth Sisesaehazette regiment received a
flesh wound in his arm from a musket discharged
by a private, who fell down while on drill.
Several of the Fifth and Eighth Massachusetts
Regiments were injured by revolvers accidentally
disrhnrged, and have been sent home.
Great credit is given to Gen. Butler for open
ing the road from Annapolis.

A gentleman who left Annapolis on Friday
evening. infohns us lira t there were 11,000 soldiers
in Annapolis and the harbor. There were four
war vessels and a transport ship in the Roads,
preparing to land, and at least SOOO in all had

We learn front another geed Man who arrived
in this ei l Y. last evening, from Annapolis, that
during the day about 10,000 Government troops

A citizen, who was the iiwtier - of four horses
and carts, was called upon to di.tipose of them for
the transportation of baggage and supplies. He
declined to sell them, but the officers stated that
they must have them, and requested him to name
his price. With a view of avoiding a sale, he
asked the exorbitant price of sixteen hundred
dollars. 'The property was taken, and a draft
given for the amount of the valuation.
The presence of the troops has had the tenden

SACJIVSerTS VOLUNTEERSA diaboli
cal atteMpt 'was made to poison the
4th Regiment Massachusetts 1 7- ohm:
teers, on board the Steamer State of
Maine, at New York Oil Friday of
Dist week. While the steamer with
the soldiers lay at the pier some boys
come on board with a quantity of
brandy in bottles, which they offered
to sell at $1 a bottle. Failing to ef
fect sales they left some or the bottles
on board as a present to the men.—
This brandy was pa taken of by 1M)
or six of the'scildieN; but a` Übstance,
resembling sugar of lead, WasdiseoV
ered in the liquor, and word then pas
sed around that it must not be par
taken of; Chat it was propably poison
ed, and whoOer drank it did so at
the risk of his life.
But the poison in the case of three
or four who had partaken, proved its
own antidote. It produced nausea
and vornitinol and their liveS were
saved. • AnOther orie, who had drank
less, has since died.
The design evidently was to poi
son.. the whole Regiment, and but for
the timely discovery that the liquor
was drugged the plot would have suc
ceeded. The fact that the Man who
died drank much less of the brandy
than the others, shows how well the
fiends had done their work.
Mr. Gov. Morgan of New Yoi h,
hai issued a Proclamation, calling for
twenty-one regiments of volunteers,
of 780 men each, in addition to Seven
teen regiments previously called for

as, good as, his bond, and that would
be. good, for several millions: ,Mr.
Lincoln may judge by this letter in
what estimate the conservative Mer

twaddle about using the troops for
the protection of the Capitol only.

MAJOR ANDERSON.-It is rumored
that this gallant officer has asked per
mission to take command of the New
Jersey quota, and promises to lead
them into Fort Sumpter, and that his
wishes will probably be acceded to by
the Government.
Ths9... The Charleston Mercury earn
estly protests against the advise of
certain Southern journals which urge.
an immediate assault on Washington,
and its occupation as the Capital of
the Confederate States.
FORT PICKENS.—The ominous si
lence of the Southerners relative to
their threatened attack upon Fort
Pickens, is perhaps the best proof
which could be adduced that the at
tack has already been made, and that
it has proved unsuccessful. The Ci
ncinnati Gazette, of Wednesday, states,
on the authority of a letter received
by the drum major at Newport Bar
racks, from 'his son, who is stationed
at Port Pickens, that on the 17th
inst. the fort was unsuccessfully at
tacked by - the 'Secession forces, who
were driven Mick with • the loss of
thirty-three inen,'while not a person
in the garrison was injured. 'ft is im
possible of °Curse, in• these days of
exao , reratedand false reports, to know
exactly how much faith to put in this
story.
iltZ - The Governor of Ohio has
moved six regiments to the Southern
frontier of that State to protect the
Union men of Western Virginia who
refuse to acquiesce in secession.—
Two regiments at Bridgeport, oppo
site Wheeling, one opposite Parkers
burg, one opposite Gruyandotte, one
opposite Point Pleasant, and one to
be held in reserve at Zanesville, the
latter to be moved to any point where
its services may be required.
m-r - A correspondent writing- from
Portsmouth, Va., under date of the
22d of April, says :
It is amazing how the people of the North and
South allow themselves to be mutually frightened
by the terrible tales told of each other. While
Washington is in dread of Gov, Wise and his
army invading that city, the people of Norfolk
and Porteutiluth tire Working hundreds of men,
night and day;with Gov. Wise, in their midst,
to fortify themselves against an expected in va
slim of these points by the' forces of the North.
Norfolk and Portsmouth are &arif tlilogin greater
dread of invasion than Washington; And both
Petereburgh and Richmond, and several coon ties
adjacent, aro sending volunteers to' protect Nor-
folk and Portsmouth—the very jioliits that are
supposed to be furnishing"men to iniacto 'Wash.
ington.
The truth is, the idea of taking Washington,
while lung cherished by the secessionists, has
been sprung upon them as a practicable achieve-
Meat much before they were ready for it. The
proclamation of Mr. LISCOLN was unexpected.—
The sudden rebellion and rioting in Maryland
'were itoliiokect for ;"and . it was only when the ac
tion of Miii : yland, taken last Friday, became
known in the South, that the thought of an tin.
mediate descent upon Washington seized the
popular mind. Jeff. Davis was at that time at
illontgotnery, and not a soldier was enlisted for
such a service, nor rations provided anywhere
between Montgomery and for "five
hundred men ; nor one piece of siege 'cannon
nearer to - Washington than ltiehinond. All
through the South the mails are deranged. The
telegraph only runs through the populous towns.
The bulk of the army to be gathered and brought
to Washington would be distant from that city
an average of not less than two hundreinnfies.—
With these dßtfi, ,wharf. is the 'probability that
within one, two or three weeks even an army
could bOgithered near Washington sufficient to
force a way across the Potomac, byextemporized
rafts, and seize the Capital with even five thou
men to defend it, in the hands of such a ;
chieftain as Gen. SCOTT.
