Sfe?~By reference to an advertisement in another column it will be seen that sub scriptions to the three million State loan will be received at the Banking House of Wm. Russell, in sums of fifty dollars and upwards. The loan is a desirable one and will recommend itself to moneyed men. The Blanket Story. We copy the following from the Lewis town Democrat of' last week : " Recent developments, before the Fnited States Grand .Jury in Philadelphia, show that the State has for all these things paid the price of good articles! Blankets, for instance, although weighing barely one pound and six ounces, have cost the State S'j.GO a piece. Any housekeeper knows they were not worth over half the money. It is plain therefore that somebody has been spec ulating at the expense of the gallant volun teers, who so nobly and promptly responded to the country's call. Somebody has swin died the State, and at the same time deprived at least a portion of oar soldiers of a decent outfit. XV e know not to what extent this game has been played; but certainly quite far enough to be a lasting stain upon the State." To put at rest, once and furover, one of the miserable lies got up either to produce an effect for political purposes, or else in subordination among the volunteers, we state, ii Y AUTHORITY, that the light blan kets spoken of above were settled for at 51.50 per pair, or 75 cents a piece—so that the Democrat and all other papers that have published this abortion, will perceive that the blankets were bought and paid for at less than half what THKY alteje every housekeeper knows to have been value! THE WAR NEWS. XV e give in another column such details as may be considered authentic relative to the war movements. There are now about 15,000 troops at Chambersburg, the same number at fortress Monroe, a still lamer force at XV asliington city and its vicinity, while Gen. McClellan is evidently advan cing east from X\ heeling. The forward movements of these armies will enclose Harper's Ferry, shut up Norfolk on the land side, and drive the Southerners be yond the Rappahanock, if not Richmond. It looks a good deal as if Scott intends to starve them out, or else to make them risk a forward movement from Richmond with Butler in their rear. The arch trait or Davis is now iu Richmond. Troops continue to arrive at XVashington daily. B®-The citizens of Altoona tendered a supper to Louis XV.

From Western Virginia we learn of an s important military movement. Two thou sand Ohio troops crossed into Virginia at Parkersburg, the termination of the North western Virginia Railroad, and took pos session of that road towards Grafton, at which point accounts stated that two thou sand Virginia troops were gathered. At the same time a still larger force of Feder al troops crossed into Virginia near Wheel ing from whence the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad also runs to Grafton. These two bodies were thus equi distant from a com mon point of concentration. From Fortress Monroe, we learn that General Butler had placed two thousand five hundred troops on Newport News Point, where they were engaged in throwing up entrenchments. The troops were conveyed in transports under convoy of the Harriet Lane. They were fired on from Sewell's Point, but no damage done. Newport News Point is at (4ie mouth of James riv er, six miles above Hampton and on the same side of Hampton Roads. It is oppos ite to, and about six miles distant from Sewell's Point. A despatch from St. Louis states that the Fnited States troops have taken posses sion of Bird's Point, an important mili tary position 011 the Missouri shore, oppos ite to Cairo. General Harney has author ized the formation of companies of Fnion Guards at various points in Missouri. The Missouri State troops have disbanded. At Cairo a large force has been engaged two days in tearing down buildings at the extreme point, to make way for the propos jed fortifications. A heavy construction train is bringing in earth from a point twelve miles out, on the line of the Central Railroad, to construct a cross embankment from the Ohio to the Mississippi levee, so as to enclose an area of about six acres. — When this embankment is finished, as laid j out, the troops here will be amply protec ted on every side by breastworks. The Border State Convention assembled at Frankford, Kentucky, 011 Monday a week. Hon. J. J. Crittenden is President. Mis souri and Kentucky are the only States represented. Mr. Russell, the London Times' corres ! pondent, writes an interesting letter from Charleston in relation to Fort Sumter and its surroundings, the material portions of which we reprint. Mr. Russell expresses the opinion that with a proper force and the necessary munitions of war Fort Sum ter could have been successfully defended by Major Anderson. | Last week the editors of the Baltimore | American had a prolonged interview with a gentlemen direct from Norflolk, who has 1 resided for some years in that vicinity, and being opposed to secession, thought it bet ter, in the connection with the utter pros tration of all kinds of business, to leave. He denies the statements put forth that those in favor of the Fnion have been mobbed or ill-treated. It would of course not do for them to express themselves too ' strongly, but those who remained quiet were not molested. There were but six Fnion votes cast in Norfolk, and eighty in Portsmouth; of the latter, seventy were members of a rifle company, which was immediately disbanded and their arms ta- I ken from them. '1 he troops in Norfolk and the vicinity i are variously stated, but he did not think that there were more than 7,000, and that they lack discipline very much, though well armed and equipped, and will fight if prop erly brought in the field. Numbers of boys from fittcen to eighteen years of age he represents as shouldering their muskets and doing camp duty with all the energy i of veterans. A schooner loaded with heavy cannon was despatched a short time since through the canal, which were destined for Fort Pickens. 1 he battery at Sewell's point was under stood in Norfolk to be nearly destroyed by the Monticello, though a large force of hands were at work repairing and stjength ning it again. It was understood to be the view of General Butler to land his for ces at Ocean A iew, on Hampton Roads, about six miles from .Sewell's Point, and about ten miles, by two good roads, to Nor folk. There is a fine sandy beach here, and the guns of the Cumberland can ef fectually protect the landing of troops. — This will enable him to move on Norfolk by regular seige movements, unless attack ed by an advancing army. General Iluger, late of the Pikesville ! Arsenal near Baltimore, was in command on luesday evening when our informant , left, though General Beauregard was ex pected to arrive the same evening. _ A force of three hundred negroes, from North Carolina, arrived at Norfolk a few days since, and were put to work throwing up entrenchments on the roads leading from ' Norfolk to Ocean View. The prostration of business at Ports- ; mouth and Norfolk is most thorough and complete. The Navy Yard, the truck trade, and naval stores, on which the busi ness and almost existence of the two cities is based, have ceased, and were it not for the abundance of vegetables and fish, there vvould be much suffering among the poor. I lie truck gardeners are giving away their peas and strawberries to any one who will take the trouble to gather them. A great many of the immense pea fields have been p owed in for the purpose of planting corn. 1 he crop of garden truck and strawberries shipped to Baltimore, New York and Phil adelphia last year during 3lay and June yielded 3 100,000, and the yield this year i was confidently expected to amount to not less than 3000,000. Genera! Huger, the commander-in-chief, holds his headquarters in the Custom House, over which the confederate flair floats. The troops are camped on the Fair <>rounds—a very fine location—and the officers are drilling and disciplining the men as rapidly as possible. There is also a good force at Fort Norfolk and the other j batteries. They have hut one rifled can non, and that is at Sewell's Point. A despatch received from New Orleans an nounces that the mouth of the Mississippi was blockaded by the United States on the 28tb. The blockading fleet, cruising off the delta of the Mississippi, has destroyed the fort en Ship Island. The port of Galveston is also blockaded, and several vessels have been fired at and stopped. General Beauregard, instead of arriving at Norfolk on Wednesday, as was expected, has reached Memphis to take command of the western division of the Confederate Army. Four steamers passed Vieksburg, Miss., on the 23d, loaded with troops from New Orleans for Fort Smith, Arkansas. The exodus of the Southerners northward, according to a despatch from Louisville,is un precedented. They are doubtless those who do not sympathize with the Secessionists. The army worm has appeared in the fields of Kentucky in great force, and is represent ed as sweeping oft' the vegetation very rapid ly. The Secretary of the Treasury has released vessels from ports of the seceded States from the fines which the law imposed on vessels for not obtaining a proper clearance. The ['resident has instructed Gen. Butler to retain the fugitive slaves who have come within his lines at Fortress Monroe, to make use of their labor, and to keep an account of the value of their services and the cost of their subsistence. The question of returning them to their owners is to be determined here after. I The Government has announced that pro posals for the complete construction and equipment of steam screw gun boats will be received until the 15th inst. Proposals are to be received only from ship builders who i are actually engaged in the business. A despatch from Montgomery states that the Confederate Government was making preparations for a removal to Kichm >nd.— - The Maryland "Peace Commissioners" were ' at Montgomery. Ex Gov. Pratt was arrested by order of the i United States Government at Annapolis on Friday and taken to Washington. The I charge against him is said to be treason. A report was also current last week that ex Gov. Lowe had been arrested, but it is be ; lieved to have been incorrect. George 11. Tucker, of Baltimore, sutler's clerk at Fortress Monroe, was taken into cus tody from information received pointing to j him as a suspicious character. An exauiina < tion developed information that he had open ed private letters, and communicated their | contents, together with other information rel ative to affairs at the Fort, to parties residing at Norfolk connected with the Southern army. He was ironed, placed on board the steanitug Elizabeth, and sent to Fort Mcllenry, where he arrivedTast week. On the arrival of the Vermont Regiment at Newport Newspoint, a planter named Par rish, owning 30 slaves, gave them their free | dom. urging as a reason that he could not get them to work unless the Colouel command ■ ing gave him authority to compel them, lie | immediately after packed up and went to Richmond, Ya. By the Last Mails. The first serious encounter of war has ta gen place in Western Virginia. Two columns j of United States troops, under the command of Colonel Kelly, Virginia volunteers, and : Colonel Crittenden, of the Indiana volunteers, ; made a forced night march from Grafton to ( Phillippi, the county seat of Barbour county, near which they surprised a camp of Confed ' erate troops reported to be two thousand I strong The surprise was complete. The camp of Confederates was captured, and they fled leaving fifteen dead bodies on the field, i The I nited States forces seized large amounts of arms, ammunition, provisions and some horses. The pursuit was continued and it was expected that a number of prisoners would be captured. Colonel Keliy of tiie Wheeling regiment, was mortally wounded in the attack, and soon after died. Several of ! the Federal troops were also wounded, j From Fortress Monroe we have intelligence up to Saturday evening. No movement of any importance had been made. The troops were being drilled and disciplined, the posi . tion of Newport News Point strengthened, 1 and preparations busily going forward for an j advance movement in some direction. There were no Confederate troops nearer Newport j News Point than Yorktown, on the York riv i er, where there were reported to be two thou- J stand under command of Col. Magruder, late ! of the United States Army. Among the late i est additions to the force at Fortress Monroe is a picked company of sappers and miners. There are about 15,000 men there. | From Williamsport, Md., we learn that the | Virginia troops opposite that point on Satur ; day made another attempt to get possession |of the ferry boat. The Union men at Wil liamsport resisted and shuts exchanged by which the Secessionists are reported to have j suffered without damage to their opponents, i Major General Patterson and staff arrived at Chambersburg on Sunday, it was beiiev ! Ed that the military stationed there would move forward into Maryland in a few days. The force is upwards of 15,000. j An engagement has taken place between the United States gunboats and theConfeder ! ate batteries at Aquia Creek, on the Potomac. The cannonading was commenced on Friday by gunboats Anacosta and Freeborn. The engagement continued two hours, the batter ies replying with spirit. The batteries on the wharf were silenced, and the depot buildings knocked to pieces. The shore batteries were repaired during the night, and on Saturday the cannonading was again resumed, the Paw nee having joined the attacking force. The beach batteries were again silenced, but a bat tery on the hill, supposed to be armed with rifle cannon, was beyond the range of the guns of the vessels. Only one man on board the vessels was wounded, and the vessels re ceived no serious damage, the firing from the batteries being generally too high to be effec tive. Among the Confederate troops it is be lieved that a number were killed or wounded, ' as parties were seen removing them from the batteries. The Pawnee and Anacosta were still lying off the Creek, but beyond the range of the batteries. The affair at Fairfax Court House on Fri day night was merely an encounter between the scouts of the two armies. A company of United States Dragoons, under command of Lieut. Tompkins, made a reconnoissance as far as the village, where they were fired on. The dragoons then tired, killing the Captain of the company. They then charged through the village and made good their retreat. Two of their men were captured und three wound ed, whilst they brought off five prisoners. The number killed on the side of the Confederates ranges all the way from one to twenty. On Saturday night the dragoons, it is reported, returned to the aaage and succeeded in bring ing off the two men captured the previous night. On Friday night the outposts, near Arling ton. were tired on by the Virginia scouts, aifd ! one of the New York Zouaves killed and another wounded. The fire was returned and the attacking party retreated. The force at Alexandria were throwing up earthworks for the defence of that city. B@L,Tbe Border State Convention, in ses sion at Frankfort, Kentucky, has appointed committees to prepare a General Address to the People of the United States, and also an Address to the Border States. Dooley and Joseph Hood, arrest ed by the United States Marshall, on war rants issued by John Hunan, United States Commissioner, charging them with treason in enlisting and bearing arms against the United States at Point of Rocks and Harper's Ferry, had an examination before the United States Commissioner, at Baltimore, after which they were fully committed to jail in default of $5,000 bail each. £@~The monster '"Union" gun, recently cast at the Fort Pitt Works, Pittsburgh, has been completed, and is now removed to the Pennsylvania Railroad depot, whence it will bo shipped to Washington, and thence to Old Point Comfort, with as little delay as possi- I ble. It is intended for Fortress Monroe, and | will be put iu position immediately on its ar ' rival at that point. The " Union" is heavier j than the "Floyd," and will throw a bail ba i tween six and seven miles. It is perhaps the j heaviest piece of iron artillery ever manufac ! tured, ami the result of the experimants which it is proposed to make with it will be j looked for with interest. ol the Ohio regiments recently ' elected the Rev. Granville Moody, a well ; known Methodist preacher of that State, | their chaplain. When their choice had I been declared, they sent to Brother Moody to ask him if he would go. He replied : : by, yes, he would like to be their chap j lain—but with one condition, that they , would furnish him with a musket; 4 for,' ! said he, 4 in our Methodist communion we ; do not believe in faith without works.'— ! The Rev. Mr. Moody was furnished with ! a musket, but it is doubtful whether his | sermons would not be found quite as effee- j j tual in scaring away the enemy. Centre County. Charles 11. Winter, son of Samuel Winter, | of Centre county, about 18 years of age, who I left home on the 22d of April, joined the ! Curtin Guards at Cainp Curtin, for three | months' service, and subsequently, at Camp , | Slifer, (several days prior to his death,) he j enlisted for three years more. He died after j 1 an illness of only two days, in the military ; hospital, at Chambers-burg; his disease was ! purpurea. E. S. Burket and Simon Spang- , ; ler, members of the same company, took charge of their deceased comrade, placed his j remains in a metalic coffin, and brought him home on the 23d inst. A larger gathering of people than attended hie funeral was never I seen at Rebersburg before at one time. On Saturday the 18th ult., a man named I ; William Council was killed by the acciden- j ; tal discharge of a gun loaded with a number j | of buckshot, and frightfully maiming the ( | hand of his companion, Mr. Quiggle. These j I gentlemen had been on a hunting excursion j ; up Beech Creek. Mrs. Gill's dwelling, in I'attun township, j was destroyed by fire on the afternoon of the j 17th ult.

FRANCISCUS. | Death of Stephen A. Douglas. 1 his distinguished gentleman died at Chicago on Monday morning last, after an illness of a few weeks. His loss at this time will be deeply regretted by all good men, as he was among the first to tender his services and support to the President when the rebels unmasked their infamous designs. The Secretary of War has, in a feeling notice directed the colors of thedif ferent regiments to be draped in mourning. We annex a brief sketch of the life of Mr. Douglas: lie commenced his career in a cabinet ma ker's shop, from which he entered several academies of learning, and having removed to the state of Illinois when very young, where, a year after he was admitted to "the bar, when j not yet twenty two years of age, he was elect | ed by the legislature attorney general of that i state. In December, 1835, "he was elected a member of the legislature of Illinois, where he commenced that career as a parliameuta : rian and debater for which he since became sso eminently distinguished. In 1837 he re : ceived the nomination for Congress, at a time 1 when ho was not yet twenty live years old, | but attained the requisite age before the day j of election—and was defeated by the whig j candidate by a majority of ouly fire vote/. ; In 1840, Mr. Douglas was appointed Secreta i ry of State of Illinois, as a recognition of the j services he rendered his party during the po : litical struggles of that year. In 1841, the legislature elected him a Supreme Judge of that state, which position he resigned in 1843 to accept a second nomination for Congress, and was elected after a spirited contest bv a small majority. In 1844 be was re elected, but did not take bis seat, having been in the meantime chosen a United States Senator by the legislature of his state. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Douglas gained great prominency for his support of the 54-40 pol icy of the I'olk administration—his vote and speeches fn favor ol the annexation of Texas, and other decided measures of the Democrat ic administration, then in power. He was chairman of the committee on Territories which reported the joint resolution for the ad mission of Texas, and after this admission, supported James K. I'olk during the war with Mexico, with all his peculiar zeal and mental might and power. As chairman on the Com mittee of Territories in the House of Repre sentatives, and afterwards in the Senate, he j reported bills for the admission of the terri tories of Minnesota, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Kansas and Nebraska, and also the bills for the admission into the Uuion of the states of lowa, Wisconsin. Cal ifornia, Minnesota and Oregon. On the question of slavery, he opposed the interfer- ; ence of Congress in the organization of ter ritories or admission of states, in taking oue side or the other—a doctrine out of which grew the agitation in which Mr. Douglas bore sueli a conspicuous part, and which lias since divided the Democratic party, and which led to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Whatever mav be said now of the policy of this repeal, it is a fact that .Mr. Douglas re mained faithful to it throughout his life, de fending it whenever it was assailed or viola ted. It 13 not our purpose to allude to the polit ical trouble and contentions into which Mr Douglas was forced since 185t>, any further than to declare that he bore himself bravely and nobly in all his encounters. He may have committed wrongs—hut they sprang more from his zeal than from ar.y purpose to injure his country, or impair the principles of good government, lie was a partizan of uncompromising temper in the commence ment of his career, but lived to modify his feelings in this respect, and withinthelastyear went so far as to disregard party lines in his d fence of what he considered the safety and the permanency of his govern ment. During the lat Presidential contest, he was the candidate of a wing of the Democratic party, and since then has been tlie object of the bitter hatred and opposition of the other wing, or that por tion which have been engaged in the unholy war of dissolving the American Union. The lu v. Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, chairman of the Young Men's Christian As sociation, who visited President Lincoln du ring the Baltimore troubles, and advised him to yield to the Baltimore mobs, has it seems been at a Baptist Convention at Savannah, Georgia, where he reported a resolution al leging there is a lawless reign of terror at the north, stigmatizing our soldiers as " hosts of ruffians and felons, burning with lust and ra pine," and other choice sentiments. This is treason, and this reverend scoundrel will probably find it so. THE MARKETS" Lewistown, June 0, lisGl. CORRECTED BY GEORGE BLYMYER.
