A friend sends us a specimen of the Now York Pay Book, a tory secession sheet published in the ci y of New York —probably in the pay of .Jef Davis A Co —rwhich is now being- scattered among the democrats in. (lilbliti county with a profuse hand. At one of the small post offices in -his county 22 copies, aJjh-csml toprofess ing democrats, were received last week. — This vile sheet is endeavoring to inculcate the tory idea that the present is a rcpubli- can war —a sentiment as traitorous as the acts of any of the southern cutthroats— and it therefore behooves all good citizens to watch for those miscreants who are aid ing its circulation by furnishing the names of the people of this county. By the present law we believe postmasters are not authorised to deliver transient papers un less the postage is prepaid, or if subscribed for unless a quarter's postage is paid in ad vance, anu we hope in the case of this to ry sheet they will hold it to the letter of the law. Bg£Thc reports of battles fought list week, giving even the killed, wounded, and prisoners, originated at V\ ashington City, and were telegraphed on Sunday all over the country. This is the second or third time that Sunday has been desecra ted by the most infamous falsehoods.— Government ought by ail means to have an agent in each office during the present crisis. ()f course the telegraph operators are -not to be blamed for these canards. We see it stated that the bad blankets, shoes, Ac. supplied some of our State troops have not yet been paid for by the State, and will nut be. Other complaints are no better founded than those alluded to in the the following letter. A misunderstanding also seems to prevail as to the power of the Quartermaster, that officer having nothing to do with many matters charged to him. \V hile heretofore allowances ought to be made for the want of proper supplies— and any sensible and reflecting man will make them—we venture to say there will be iittlc just cause for complaint hereafter, except with such parties as would probably grumble if strawberries and cream were served up daily among the rations: CAMT HAVRE DE (IK ICE, 1 May 22, 1861. } KIUTOR PRESS:— The newspaper accounts of tlie condition of the Twenty third regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. Dare, (seven companies of which are under my command!, are greatly exaggerated. Our regiment was the first equipped and uniformed. The blankets are of good quality, and purchased by oar regimental quartermas ter, by the permission of General Hale. He '.._3 not limited as to price, place of purchase, or qm.'.ity, and obtained the best that could be had at the city. Our uniforms were ob tained by the State from the United States And arc €€|Uii to any in thc&rmv. . e were somewhat inconvenienced by hav ing to wait for overcoats, and a plurality of shirts and drawers, until the other regiment* were uniformed. Rut these have been sup plied now, and the command is comfortably uniformed and equipped. lhe stories as to vermin and uncleanliness arc mere exaggerations. The regiment will compare with any in the field on the score of cleanliness and neatness. The duty assign ed to us necessarily keep 3 us within depots and stations, and the men anxious to move on are somewhat uneasy, but are subordinate and obedient. lhe health of the regiment is good, and, with the exception of colds and rheumatism, that usually lollow unaccustomed explore and a soldier s life, our hospital has let-n free The commissary department is und°r the com trol of an ofih-rr of the United States army Capt. Kddy. I have found him attentive to soldier's wants, and willing to do his duty. I deem this explanation due to Mr. Hale, the State Quartermaster, who ha - shown al ways a great desire to promote the comfort of the regiment, and has in every instance tried to remedy any oversigl tor mistake. If there is any just cause for complaint, it is not with Col. Da*.:? regiment: it is only anxious to Jo something during its short enlistment to prove that its members are grateful to their coun try, and willing to sacrifice life and all in its service. Yours, respectfully. D. R. BIEXET, Lieut. Colonel Twenty third Regiment. iV hy is it that Iloofland's German Bitters is preferred to all other remedies for the cure of diseases of the nervous system ? Simply because it never fails to perform all that is said of it. Read the advertisement in anoth er column LATEST NEWS. The Washington Star of the 24th pub lishes many important facts relative to the occupation of Alexandria and the shooting of Colonel Ellsworth. The Star says : Last night was a stirring one indeed.— Through the day and evening the reports of contemplated military movements kept the populace on the qui vive. to which ex citement fresh fuel was added on its being whispered that various regiments had been ordered t > prepare for immediate service; the words dropped ai c o by Gen. Thomas, at the Seventh Regiment camp, that the storm was about to burst, indicated that a decisive move was to be taken. The gen eral idea among the troops was that an ad vance was to be made into Virginia, but nobody seemed to be posted as tq. the ex act purposes entertained at headquarters At 11 o'clock we pushed off for the Long Bridge, to sec what was developing thereabouts. We found the vigilant sen tries of the Washington Light Infantry (company A) posted some distance up Ma ryland Avenue, and a portion of the same company stationed somewhat lower down. A squad of the infantry had also been de tailed to a point near the monument, to keep an eye on any boats going out of the canal. Near and or. the bridge were the infantry, a company of Rhode Islanders, a Massachusetts company, a United .States cavalry company, a company of United States artillery, ( two pieces >, the Putnam Rifles, the Turner Ivifles, the National Ri fles. Metropolitan Rifles, and and company F. Union Volunteers; while company K, Washington Light Infantry (Captain Pow ell's Zouaves , and the Constitutional Guards, occupied the Virginia end of the bridge. A full moon looked peacefully down, and perfect <juiet reigned on all the neighbor ing shores. But this was to give place very speedily to more stirring movements. Somewhat ! fter midnight, ('apt. Smcad's company, the National Rifles, and Captain Powell's company, were advanced across the bridge to the neighborhood of Roach's Spring. Scouts were sent out in all direc tions. who managad to get past the line of Virginia pickets. Somewhat later, the Virginia pickets, getting the alarm, set spurs to their horses and scurried down the road towards Alexandria in hot haste. The Constitutional Guard, Capt. Regges, about 80 strong, were on duty over the bridge; Colonel Stone, of the l>. C. volun teers, went to them, and asked if they had any objection to go beyond the district, as they were very close to Alexandria. The men answered unanimously in favor of go ing anywhere, and they were accordingly advanced along the road, and through the country down as far as the Four-mile run. The Virginia picket guard, stationed near Roach's Spring, ran, and about an hour af ter the alarm bells were rung in Alexan dria. Friday morning at 2 A. M.,in pursuance of orders previously given and rumored over Washington, a large body of United States troops crossed the Potomac from this city and its neighborhood into Virginia. Ellsworth's Zouaves, in two steamers, with the steamer James Guy as accompanying tender, left their camp on the Eastern Branch, and made directly for Alexandria by water. The Michigan regiment, under Colonel Wilcox, accompanied by a detach ment of United States cavalry, and two pieces of Sherman's battery, under com mand of Lieut. Ransom, proceeded byway of the Long Bridge direct for Alexandria. J he Seventh New York regiment halted under orders at Hugh's Tavern, at the "Vir ginia end of the bridge; the Second New- Jersey regiment is at Roach's Spring, half a mile from the end of the bridge; the New York Twenty-fifth and one cavalry compa ny, and the New York Twelfth, and the Third and Fourth New Jersey regiments, proceeded to the right alter crossing the bridge, for the occupation of the Heights of Arlington. They were joined by other troops which crossed the Georgetown aque duct. At 4 o'clock A. M., at about the same moment the Zouaves lauded at Alexandria from the steamers, the troops before named who proceeded by the bridge reached tlie town. As the steamers drew up near the wharf armed boats left the Pawnee, wh se crews leaped upon the wharves just before the Zouaves reached terra firma. The crews of the Pawnee's boats were fired up on by the few disunion sentries as the boats left the steamship, byway of giving the alarm, when these sentries instantly fled back into the town as fast as their legs could carry them. The fire was answered by impromptu shots from some of the Zouaves on the decks of the steamer bear ing them. Immediately on landing Col. Ellsworth marched the Zouaves up into the centre ot the town, no resistance to th eir progress whatever being offered. Thus quiet possession was taken of that part of Alexandria, in the name of the Tinted States, by the portion of the troops immediately commanded by Colonel Klis- worth. Those commanded by Colonel Wilson, at about the same moment as explained above, marched into the town by the ex tension of the Washington turnpike, the the cavalry and infantry marching in two or three streets below. The destination 01 both these detachments was the depot of the < 'range and Alexandria Railroad, which they instantly seized. They also found near by, at Burch Cook's negro pen, a disunion company of cavalry, com manded by Captain Ball, (thirty-five men and as many horses,) who were made pris oners, not having heard the alarm of the firing of the sentries below. Everything found at the depot in the way of rolling stock, etc., is of course in the hands of the Government troops. Proceeding up town, Colonel Ellsworth saw a Secession flag waving over the Mar shall house, kept by James Jackson, a well kn< wn Secessionist Instantly entering the house, with four Or five of his men, Col. Ellsworth proceeded to the house-top, tore down the flag, and trampled it under foot. Tn descending the stairs the party were encountered by the keeper of the house, double barrel gun in hand. lie raised the gun to shoot the foremost Zouave, who knocked aside his arm, when Jackson in stantly turned it upon Col. Ellsworth, and firing, discharged the load of one barrel into the heart of that gallant officer, who fell dead upon the stairs. Jackson as quickly snapped the other barrel at a Zouave standing next to Col. Ellsworth, wh.en private IJrownell, another of the Zouaves, accompanying Ellsworth to take down the flag, discharged the contents of iiis musket into Jackson's brain, bayonet ing his body as he fell, pinning it to tht steps. There it lay up to OA. M , under a guard of Zouaves, who will permit no one to remove it. The news of the assassination of Col. E. E. Ellsworth reached this city at an early hour this morning, and created much ex citement, though not at first generally be lieved. At a later hour it was confirmed, and at 10 o'clock the tolling of the bell of the Franklin Fire Co. announced the con firmation. and orders were given to halt mast the flag of the company. At 4 o'clock this morning a large num ber of Government wagons went across the Long Brdige, loaded with picks, shovels, and all manner of tools of that description, and accompanied with a full corps of car penters and workmen. The I . S. forces are now busily engaged in throwing up for tifications on the Virginia shore, commen cing at daybreak. The bids for the nine million loan asked for by the Government were opened on Saturday. Seven millions seven thousand dollars were bid for in bonds at rates rang ing from *3 to >•). Six millions seven hundred and fifty-three thousand dollars were accepted at 85 and upwards, and the remainder of the loan will be awarded in Treasury notes at or above par. The whole loan will thus be placed at an average of seven per cent, interest. The returns from twenty counties in wes tern Virginia, received at Wheeling, repoit a large majority in each against secession. The returns from the eastern part of the State show a small vote, nearly unanimous for secession. Twenty-one counties in the western part of the State have given an aggregate majority of 10,004 against se cession. Loudon county gives one thous and majority against the ratification of the ordinance. The stories in regard to the proscription of Union men at St. Joseph, Missouri, are said by the ST. Louis Evening News to be much exaggerated, though it is admitted that a deep-seated spirit of resistance to the authority of the United States yet ex ists in the interior of the State. The St. Louis Democrat of the 2 4th had advices from Jefferson City, the capita], to the eve ning previous, which states that the troops at Jefferson City have refused to disband upon the order of the Coventor and (Jen. Price. Croat dissatisfaction was expressed by the secessionists at the arrangement made with Con. llarnej'. If this report be true, it becomes the duty of the Cov ernment to assist the State in carrying out the programme which has been agreed upon between Gen. Harney and the State of Missouri. The Washington .Republican states that two lieutenants in the regular army had their names stricken from the army roll on Saturday. They offered their resignations to the War Department, fearing they would be called into active service. Their resig nations were nut accepted, and they were immediately dismissed from the service. It is now quite certain that Cortinns, the Mexican bandit, has a large force organ ized for the invasion of Texas. The Tex as papers, with their usual lying, say lie is making war in the name of the United States. The Washington Republican has been in formed that sixty votes were cast against secession at Occoquan, Va., on Thursday. The vote at Rail's Cross Roads, Fairfax county, was 31 for secession and 70 against it. We learn from the Wheeling Intelligen cer of Thursday last, that the first bellig erent issue between the " Union men" of Western Virginia and the State troops" recognizing the authority of the Southern Confederacy has been joined at the town of Clarksburg, in the county of Harrison. Two companies of the Confederate military hav ing marched into the place on the 20th inst., the court house bell was rung as a sig nal for the assemblage of the two " Union military companies" of Clarksburg, under the command of Captains A. C. Moore and J. C. Vance, who demanded that the''Con federate forces" should surrender their arms and disband. After a brief parley the demand was complied with. WASHINGTON, May 28. On inquiry of several New Vork guests at Williard's Hotel, it is ascertained that Van Valkenburgh parted with them at noon on a visit to Alexandria; therefore, the distant report of his arrest as a spy cannot be true. 'I he belief that the President has deter mined to tender Col. Fremont a Major Gen eralship elicits much gratification Gov. Hanks is here by invitation of the Secretary of War. The Washington City Councils have pas sed resolutions of respect to Ellsworth. The rebels are evidently preparing for action. Reports received here this morn ing state that they are throwing up en trenchments at the Manassas Gap Junction; and the secessionists in Alexandria are loud ly boasting to-day that they will soon be re lieved by the advance of rebel troops from Richmond. The government, however, is prepared at all points to check any forward movements of the enemy. From Alexandria all aiong to the George town aqueduct breastworks have been thrown up in twenty-four hours—every sol dier, even in the ranks of the New York Seventh, working constantly and effeetual !y- The President lias accepted three regi ments from Kansas, including otic of cav alry from the Leavenworth arsenal. A large detachment of the former, and the main body, if will be deployed along the llannibal and St. Joseph railway, to protect passengers and freight from cap ture or injury. There l.as been no little ap prehension of trouble from secessionists, but this will guaranty protection to persons and property. There are about ten thousand additional troops in Virginia. The Hagerstown Torchlight has been furn ished with the names of thirty two persons, residents <.{ tlto county, wli se houses were searched by the irginia troops for arms. A:c. John Savin and i'. C. Savin refused to let the searching party enter the house, but after wards invited tiie officer in. Mr. Sparrow defied and refused to let them enter is is house.

Mav 25.— J hn Merryman. a wealthy and highly respectable citizen of Baltimore county, and I'rt sid -nt of the Mary land Agricultural Society, was arrested last ■light at his residence by a Government offi cer. lie was brought to the city this niori • ing and taken t > Fort Mcilenry. He is charged with burning the bridges on the Northern Central Railroad. It is understood, he says he acted by the authority of the Mayor and Police Commissioners. The writ of habeas corpus directed to General George Cadwalader, commanding him to produce the body of Mr. John Mer ryman, in custody in Fort Mcllenry, was returnable before Judge Taney, in the Uni ted States Circuit Court, at Galtimore on Monday. General Cadwalader did not obey the writ, and sent through his aid, Col. Pec, a written response, in which he states that the arrest of Mr. Merry man was not made by his orders, but by Col. Yohe, acting under the orders of Major General Wni. 11. Keim, both United States military officers; that Mr. Merryman is charged with various acts of treason, the chief of which is that he holds a commission in a military company organized with an avowed purpose of armed hostility against the Government. General C. further states that he is authorized by the President of the United States to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in such cases, and in conclu sion respectfully asks a postponement of action on the case until he can obtain further instructions from the President of the United States. Col. Lee, in reply to interrogatories from the Court, said he had no instructions but to deliver the response, and then retired. Chief Justice Taney immediately ordered the issue of an attach ment agaiist General Cadwalader for con tempt of Court, but the marshal was re fused admittance into the fort. Major Anderson's recent trip to wards Kentucky showed the estimation in which he is held by the people for his ga 1 - lant defence of Fort Sumter. At all points he was warmly greeted by crowds, and his brief detention at our station probably af forded him a reminiscence as gratifying as any met with. J. W. Parker addressed him briefly, to which the Major responded in a few words, when a fine boquet was presented to him by Kddie W., for which he received a kiss, as did any number of girls LOCAL AFFAIRS. MEETINO OF TIIF. BOARD OF RKMEF. — By a late act, which we publish on our first page, the Associate Judges and Com missioners arc constituted a Board ot Re lief, to extend aid to families of volunteers who stand in need. Hon. James Parker and Cyrus Stine, Associate Judges, and John Peachey, R. Brutton, and Samuel Brower, Ksqs., Commissioners, met at the Commissioners' office on Monday last; John Peachey President, and George Pry singer Secretary. After a discussion of the matter, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopt ed : itesnlml, That the Board will continue to pay the amounts specified in the reports of the Executive committees of Lcwistown and McYeytown until the last Saturday of Juno, 29th, at which time written applications from each party requiring relief, attested bv at least two known citizens, that he, she, or thev have been dependent fur support < n the vol- ; untcer out of the family, shall be presented to said board. A resolution was then offered by Judge Stine providing for the issue of scrip re funding the several amounts actually paid in by voluntary subscriptions and which had been expended for relief purposes, to be paid one year after date without in terest. Messrs. Peachey and Brower ad vocated the propriety of postponing action on this resolution until the next meeting of the Board, and on that ground voted against its adoption. Messrs. Stine, Par ker and Brutton voted for it. A fund of Bi><)o was provided, and as it was found impossible to make all the necessary arrangements, the amount was directed to be placed in the hands of Ceo. Frysitiger, treasurer ot the Logan Guaid Fund, who will issue the orders as hereto fore, to be endorsed by Judge Parker. — F"r the Mc\ cytown Fund he was directed to draw in favor ot Win. Maeklin, win. will also issue the orders as heretofore, to be endorsed by Judge Ftine. This ar rangement will continue until the next meeting. The Board then adjourned to meet on Saturday, 2!>th June, at the Commis sioners' office in Lcwistown. FIRE.—The quiet of our town was dis turbed on Thursday afternoon by an alarm of fire which originated in the stable on the premises occupied by Robert Junkin, corner of Boreas and Third streets, owned by T. G. Bc'l of Berry township. It speedily extended to the adjoining stable on the Gruver lot. occupied by Rev. Mr. McMurray, and to a stable owned by James MeCurd n hi- lot north of tire alley, all cf which were consumed with most of their contents. Baniel Ticc lost two plows and a cultivator, Mr. Zollinger sundry garden implements, John Kennedy a sleigh and a number of empty barrels, and all the other parties implements of some kind. The corner of a wheat fi Id adjoining McCord's stable was badly scorched. The tire is -apposed to have been kindled by some matches in tiie hands of children. The loss is probable about 880". LADIKS ASSOCIATION. —The ladies of this place some weeks ago made up a lot of satchels filled with sundry articles, one for each member of the Logan Guards, and forwarded them to Washington for deliv ery. On Tuesday evening a large meet ing was held at the house of Geo \V. El der, Esq . at which they formed themselves into an association for the purpose of pro viding comforts for the soldiers, and elect ed the following officers : President —Mrs. H. J. Walters. Secretary —Mrs. F. J. Hoffman. Treasurer—Mrs. G. W. Elder. Managers —Mesdames Geo. Frysingcr, R. 11. McClintic, M. M. Faxon, Jcrnian Jacob, J. L>.

Ladies in the country are requested to extend their aid hy donations in money or calicoes, socks, muslins, flannels, linens, Ac., and similar articles or money will not be declined when tendered by gentlemen. tfoyDuring a recent visit to Licking Creek, we found that wild and romantic spot as much frequented as ever, the trout having apparently as little rest there as the wicked elsewhere. The boys enjoyed them selves in various ways, and would probably be ready to go again any day. On the last expedition we killed two rattlesnakes, one going up the mountain through Minehart's Gap, and the other at the creek, above the forks. THE LAST CHANCE. —B. K.

Several weeks ago two men of Illinois, rrn resenting several vicinities there, visited them accompanied with l.'i tons of grain mostly spring wheat. corn, Jtc., fur seed, and several hundred weight of ganbn seeds which they timely received, and also .in the same day they received four wagon i ads from another source, all of which lasted only four days.
