THE PROGRESS OP THE WAR
Since - Our last issue the troops of the Gen
eral Government have taken possession of
Baltimore, as also of the railroads leading
from Philadelphia and York to that city, and
this was done without - molestation on the . part
of the Secessionists of Maryland. The Gov
ernment has also complete possession of the
railroad from Baltimore to Washington and
from Annapolis to the Junction. An immense
body of troops—probably not less than 30,-"
000 men—are now in Washington, and all
danger of an attack on that city is considered
at an end. It is altogether probable that
some movement of a definitive character is,
contemplated by Gen. SCOTT in a few days,
and we shall not be, surpritied if, during the
present week, the Secessionists at Harper's
Ferry and Norfolk are both attacked by
United States foices. Should the former
place be assailed there will probably be many
valuable lives lost, `as it is said there is a large
Southern force there, and they are strongly
fortified. We have every confidence, how
ever, in tho tact and ability of Gen. SCOTT,
and we doubt not if he orders an attack on
either or both of the above-mentioned places,
it will be made with such force and spirit as
to render it successful.
Some are disposed to blame the Adminis
tration for the delay in commencing offensive
operations. We are not of that number.—
We believe they are acting wisely and well
in not making any demonstration of the kind
until they are fully prepared at all points to
make it effective. We have no common enemy
to deal with. Gen. SCOTT knows this full
well, hence his determination to leave nothing
to chance. When he does strike a blow, it
will have a telling effect, and redound to the
honor and glory of our brave troops who may
be engaged in the enterprise. The heavier
the first blow falls upon the rebels the sooner
the war will be ended.
ARREST OF ROSS WINANS
As the members of the Maryland Legisla
ture, which adjourned on Tuesday, were re
turning to Baltimore in an extra evening train,
it stopped a few minutes at the Relay House,
when an officer entered the cars and ap
proached Ross Winans, Esq., one of the
members of the House of Delegates from Bal
timore city, courteously inquiring if he was
Mr. Winans. Receiving an affirmative reply,
the officer said he wished to speak with him.
Mr. Winans asked him what it was, and the
officer said he had an order from Gen. Butler
for his arrest on a charge of treason.
Mr. Winans was then politely assisted from
the oars and across the railroad" track to an
office in the depot, before the door of which a
guard was immediately placed. Members of
the Legislature rushed from the cars and
asked the cause of his arrest and to be per
mitted to see him, but no one was allowed to
enter except Governor Hicks, who was present.
The Governor soon returned and stated that
no satisfaction was given him as to the reason
for Mr. Winans' arrest, and that all offers of
security for his appearance were refused.---
He also stated that he was assured that Mr.
Winans would be comfortably cared for until
his examination took place. Mr. Winans
was arrested, it was said, by order-of General
Butler. The train left for Baltimore in a few
minutes, the members of the Legislature . 'on
t e h v e en ,tra t. in manifesting much excitement at the
Mr. Winans was subsequently sent to Fort
MeUenry, but has since been released by
order of the President.
POSTMASTER AT READING
Jecou KNABB, Esq., Editor of the Reading
Journal has received the appointment of Post
master for that city.
We congratulate our friend KNAEB on his
good lick, and we also feel kindly disposed to
the present National Administration for taking
such good care of a class who have to do all
the hard fighting and heavy work of the party
to which they are attached. Mr. K. will make
a competent and obliging officer, and we doubt
not will render general satisfaction to all
having liusiness . with his office.
Nearly 'all of the principal post office ap
pointments made in Pennsylvania and else
where, by President LINCOLN, are from the
editorial fraternity, and we honor him for it.
MARYLAND TROOPS
Goveinor Hicks has issued a proclamation
calling ont four regiments of volunteers, "
serve• during the period of three months,
within• the limits of Maryland, or for the de
fencepf the capital of the United States, to
be strbjdat, under the conditions aforesaid,
to the' orders of the_Commander-in•Chief of
the Army of the United States,"
TEE OLD AND min NEW.—When Virginia
was ?" in_her glori's time," her Washington,
her, Jefferson; bker Madison, and other heroic
sons, labored to form the American Union ;
and they deemed it the crowning glory of
theii Bias'. Now the degenerate Letchers,
and Masons, and Wises, are making a dastard
effort' to , overturn the mighty fabric 'of the
Constitaion, and to destroy the work of which
Virginia, should be most proud. But there is
at least one of the old stock yet reinaining,
who has not been debased,by the corruptions
of modern times. The patriotism of , " Old
Scott" will he, more than.':ti itiatch for the.
traitors, and Virginia ,yet have , some:
thing to be proud of.

a great measure to bring the horribletcalamity
to our doors.
THE AFFAIR AT ST. LOUIS
The Governor of Missouri, who is a seces•
sionist, established a State Camp near St.
Louis, and 800 State troops were there en•
camped under Gen. Emit. The U. S. au•
thorities and Union men in the city did not
like the appearance of this, regarding it as a
part of a plan for the seizure of the United
State arsenal, and the "suppression" of the
Union men." Accordingly on the 10th inst.,
Capt. Lyon, commander of the United States
forces there, marched a body of troops to the
camp, surrounded it, planted cannon on
ground commanding it, and then called upon
Gen. Frost to surrender. Gen. F. did so, and
the State troops were taken prisoners, and
subsequently released upon taking an oath
not to fight against the Government during
the war.
After the troops surrendered, a large crowd
gathered around, including women and chil-
dren, and some persons in the crowd threw
stones at the United States troops, and a few
shots were fired from the crowd, one of which
wounded an officer. He thereupon ordered
his troops to fire upon the crowd, and two or
three companies obeyed the order. The re
sult was the killing of over thirty persons,
including two women and several children,
and the wounding of many others. The
effect of the movement would have been very
beneficial had it not been for this unfortunate
incident. As it is, great excitement exists in
the city, and serious times are anticipated
there.
Another similar tragedy was enacted on
the Saturday following. A large body of the
Home Guard was marching through the city.
The sidewalks were crowded with people, and
at one point a large crowd hissed and hooted
them, and a boy fired a pistol at them.—
Thereupon the rear company fired upon the
crowd, and the whole column was thrown
into confusion and began to fire "promiscu
ously." The result was that they killed four
of their own men, and wounded.many others.
There was a fearful scene for a few minutes,
and it is not strange that great excitement and
indignation followed. But comparative quiet
was finally restored by a speech from the
Mayor and a proclamation from Gen. Harney,
(now in command there,) pledging themselves
to exert their power to preserve the peace of
the city and protect the people from outrage.
KENTUCKY
If this State does not go out of the Union
and join her fate to the rebellion, it will not be
for want of a disposition to get her out on the
part of the Governor. In Gov: Magoffin's
message, he declares that the American Union
is dissolved. This is taking for granted a
thing which has yet to be decided. The
National Government says the Union is not
dissolved, and cannot be, and shall not be.—
Gov. Magoffin charges the President with
usurpation in the military measures which he
has taken to suppress the rebellion, and at
the same time he appears disposed to recognize
the usurped authority of the Southern Con
federacy. He endeavors to frighten the peo
ple of the State from joining the North by
speaking of the enormous war debt to be
incurred, and totally forgets the enormous war
debt which the rebellious South is saddling
her citizens with. He leaves it to the people
to decide whether they will set up for them
selves, or make common cause with the slave
holding States. He does not seem to admit
that the Union has any claims upon them.
- All this looks bad for Kentucky.
_`A posi
tion of armed neutrality she cannot maintain,
for she claims jurisdiction over the waters of
the Ohio to the'low water mark on the Ohio
side of the river, and the general government
must and will claim the right to march its
troops through her territory if necessarY.
PENNSYLViNIA.
No State has more nobly responded in men
and money to the call - of the government than
the :noble old Keystone State. The troops
which she has already equipped and furnished,
and those which she proposes to equip, will
fall little short of• fifty thousand._ Most of
these troops are.the very best fighting materi
al of the State. The people of Pennsylvithia
are both a military and patiotio'people, ;mad
will acquit themselves on the field with dis—
tinguished honok.

purchased these arms at the rate of -$2 each, •
and would have rejoiced at an, opportunity to
sell , them at $5, after their conversion 'into

Pipe Layers are suppoaed to have had a big
share in the profits of this rascally specula
tion:
In the meantime the plunderers have teen
continually busy .in plucking the nationaZ
goose. General Wool, while his headquarters ,
were in this city, sadly interfered with the
projects of these 'plunderers, and. tiff bad
influence enough at Washington to.secure his
removal and send him back to the obscurity
of Troy. The . patriotic old war veteran
would not stand quietly by and•see the goir=
ernment robbed in the purchase-of worthless
trash at five times the price of good articles,
and he consequently fell into disgrace at
Washington through:the influence, it is said,
of ceitaireAlbany politicions who wanted a
chance' to steal. ,
-
• '
The present contract system for army sup
plies is ,a gigantic, swindle for the benefit of
government favorites, .who act as . " middle—
men." A contract for beef has been , given
out which affords a profit of a quarter of a
million of dollars. Miserable blankets and
the - poorest kind of forage are provided by
government pets at the most preposterous
prices, and - contracts for every thing connected
with the war are awarded at the - most extrav—
agant rates. Veal and other stuff fitter for
the offal cart than for the human stomach, is
purchased in our markets, and put up fur use
in Washington, at the _highest prices asked
for the choicest qualities of these articles.—
The soldiers- are crammed into transport
vessels under dangerous circumstances, lodged
in leaky shanties, fed on wretched fare; and
supplied with blankets, etc., of thekpobrest
quality ;—but the republican leaders are
making money
A contractor in this city- for belts and
cartridge boxes told a friend of ours, last
week, that upon the work he should be able
to turn out in four weeks from the time
of taking the job, he expected to realize a
nett profit of $30,000.
There is beyond all question a vast amount
of rascally jobbery now being practiced upon
government by the old '!Pipe Layers," into
whose hands both the State and National
Governments have thrown most of - the busi—
ness of furnishing equipments, provisions,
and transportation for the troops. And
'especially in the charter and purchase of
steamboats have monstrous impositions been
practiced. Of the millions of dollars already
expended, it is fair to calculate that one.half
has been literally stolen by the Republican
leeches who enjoy the favor - of the government.
The Astor House clique, at the head of which
stands "my Lord Thurlow," . are reaping a
rich harvest. They certainly will lose nothing
by the war, however long it may be continued;
and those who know them best, say that they
will do their utmost to delay its progress to a
termination, in order that•they may cohtinue
in the enjoyment of these plundering opera—
tions.
9 CESSION OF WESTERN VIRGINIA.
The toaster mind of DANIEL WEBSTER con
templated the probable coarse of Western
Virginia, in the event of the Old Dominion
seceding from the Union. It was his opinion
that the part of Virginia lying on the .west
slope of the Alleghenies would never submit
to being separated from the Union, but.would
cling to it, though a division of the State
should be the consequence.
In his speech delivered at Is dinner given
him by the citizens of Albany, New York, on
the evening of May 28th, 'lB5l, he Said:
"I db, indeed, admit the - possibility that a
great mass of the Southern States, if they
should come so far north as - to include
might matte Southern confederation. But
it would.put Virginia up to 'all she ,knows to
'accomplish it. More than half of ;Virginia
lies on the west slope or the Alleghenies,- .and
is connected with the valley orthe
its people and interests, more than' With those,
who . live' on tidewater. Do they think that the
great, western slope pf the :Allegheniee is to be
induded in a secession movement?" • •
It was evidently the opinion of, Hr. WEB
STER that western Virginia's interests were
with the Union, and that she would and could
maintain'her-attaeliment thereto.

The afternoon of Lieut. R.'s departure he was. escorted
theton debut by Company H. (Jackson HMSO, and the Regi
meats! (Fencibles') :Bend. On arriving , at the depot the
,company was drawn upin line, and Capt. Mastamorr re
marked that the : Mies were now p or ting with an old and
valued friend, and one who as en officer the company had
always justly been 'proud. of.. He had- a
, proposition . to
make, which was not strictly.of a military character; but
ptlll-in snob a. ease aa.thls he thought it was justly allow.
able; It wee, that the company give Lieut. John , Rees, who
Was jeaeitig for:lipme against hie own desire, tree cheers
and a tiger. The request was hardly made.until the depot
fairly resounded with the tremendous etionte of the gal
lant Rifles' . boys. We have, been told . by, a, gentleman;
who wittiersed the seen°, that it was .a sorrowful parting
indeed. (The Lieutenant - I+nd his brother officers and the
privates were greatly endeared to each other.
We have heed requested by Lieut. Rees to tender his.
Sincere and heartfelt thanks for the, honor the Jeekton.
Rifles - and their braie and gallant commander did hlati
which he will treasure up as long as life lasts: He is
warmly attached to the Rifles , by:old associations read ties,
and will eViJr ill the future, as he has done in the past,
bike a deep interest In the welfare, prosperity and happi
ness of the company, lntfividnally and collectively.
THE IST/ IiECIHERT .ON THE MARCH.—The
let Regiment, P. V., to which are attached the Fenelblas
and Jackson Wails of thincity, left Camp Scott, on Tuesday
evening last, about 8 o'clocit, for Federal Hill, Baltimore,
as tiniy supposed; but when they reached the Maryland
line companies andAdtachments were tiken off to guard
the bridges and other points, and the Regiment le there
fore pattered 'along to 'Artthin two or three MHOS of
Baltimore. A portion of the Feneibles are near Conk*ville, or ''CampMisery," which they more aptly termed,lt
from former experience, while the rest of the company is
in squads a considerable distance apart. A note from
Lieut. Smith, Company K, (Jackson Rifles,) Informs us
that thirty men, under his command, are on guard it
Freeland Station, while the right of the company is three
miles distant. He says the weather is flue, and as long as
it lasts they will have comfortable quarters—that they are
treated very kindly by the citizens of, the neighborhood—,
and the meruare enjoying themselves very much In fishing;
Ac. The whole Regiment is In the beet of health and
spirits. How long they will remain where they are now is
not known.
Paomotrorts.--It gives us much pleasure to
note . that Lieut. Dam= 11.13trraau, Company E,;(l,ansaa
'ter City Infantry.) has been appointed Adjutant of the 10th
Infantry, stationed at Camp Slifer, Cbambersburg. This
position Dan will fill. with great cradit'to himself and hi.
company. A thorough:going, energetic, business man,
and first-rate drill - officer, he is the very Pelson for the re.
•sponsible duties of the post.
Wlthert G. I:l , airs, Rag., Commissary Sergeant of the
same company, has been appointed Commissary of the
Regiment.. This is also a good appointment- There is not
much danger of the Regiment Starving in his hands. '
— Who City Infantry, Capt. PArTgariorr, And. Stenben
Guards, Capt. BOLENIIIB, are getting along admirably.—
They are considered ,among the finest and bestrdrilled eoni
panics at Camp Slifer. Both are attached to the -10th
Regiment.
JACOB D. taus, en "old Typo" of this' city; and a
mighty clever fellow to boot, haa been appointed a Brevet

experience an Old Ocean's waves, and the appointment is .
therefore one at to be made.
Atpr's company, the
Lancaster Guards; paged and drilled•noarly every day
last week, and attracfAH much attention. Capt. Nary is
rapidly perfecting. hie command-in the drill, and should'
their services be accepted they will reflect Infinite cretlit--
on their talented commander and the city ofLancaster...
Capt. JOHN ❑. DINAR; owing to business engagements,'
has been compelled to relinquish the command of the.
Union Guards, much to the regret of the members of that
flee corps. A complimentary vote wee tendered Capt. r).-
for the 'efficient Services and ability he - displayed in the
formation of the company. The companj,-on Thursday
evening last, elected, by a nearly uuaniumina vote, Cap_t..

THE POINT - OP HONOR
The subjoined letter from Es-President Bo -
CHAIViN, was received at the office of the
National Intelligencer a few days ago. A
friend of the Ex President's who happened to
read the letter, and Who feels'much interested
in the-question of honor , and duty, wiiinh the
letten incidentally...but very strongly states,
and-thinking that the opinion of one who has
served , the country so conspicuously and so
long might exert a salutary influence on the.
opinions 'of others, asked and obtained. the
consent of the distinguished writer to its,pub•
ication, and it is published accordingly
- ' Wlmortis - trti, slay 6, 461. '
To the Editors of the . Naliotta , littelligencer
Gaprnaust-i : In' theeonfuiiian of the• times
I have not received your tri-weekly numbers
9, 157 and. 9, 14, of April 27 and April 30,
I believe. As yours., is, the only paper of
which I - preserve a file, I should' feel . greatly,
obliged if you would send me these numbers.
Several items in the Intelligence, have
awakened my attention to the facility with
which military gentlemen relieve themselves
from their , oaths apdohange their allegiance.
A Milftary . oitth has ever been held sacred in
-all agei and in all countries. Besides the
solemn sanctions of religion,, there is super—
added the highest appeal to - personal honor.
Each-military officer swears'that he will bear
tide allegiance to the United States, and serve
thent:honestly and faithfully.agttinst their
enemies and oppotiers whatsoever. They do
not swear to support the Constitution of any
State. Edficated by the United States; they
belong to ;the Federal Government in pectv-:
liar tienseii can, imagine' why an.
officer might resign rather than shed the
"blood of citizens of his native State in war,
yet it is difficult to 'excuse or,pallitite ,
the peat
step,' which to go over to the enemy, and
make 'war upon the time honored flag of the
country. - Major Betinregard, when 'he die--
oharged the first-, gun against Fort Sumpter,
lighted a flame which it will require a, long
time to extinguish. The people of the North
at present are enthutiiastically unanituous.-7
They never Were aroused until that allot was
fired. ' I Often waned Southern gentlemen
that thiir would be the inevitable result.
I, enjoy good health; and-as tranquil a spirit
as the evile, impending over my country mill
permit.

now- has ootitrol 'of the government. We ,
sustain the constituted authorities—we stand
by the Governiuent, acting through its legally
Land constitutionally chosen „,agents, seeking
remedy for wrongs legally and constitutionally. .
We oppose:, and will ever oppose the rebel
spirit, which by • rebellion, usurpation, and
the 'abrogation of all laws, seeks to destroy
this government.. From the conservative
party.of the North,- the seceded States have
nothing to hope, no aid nor encouragement to
expect until they are ready-, to acknowledge
their, allegiance to the Union. We take the
groiind that the first and highest allegiance of
'the citizen is'td the Federal Constitution and
the-laws, - rather than to the Constitutioil and
laws- of any separate State. -We do not
acknowledge the doctrine claimed ' by -the
South, that the highest allegiance is due to
the State. The United States has paramount
claims upon every citizen. The Federal Gov
ernment is the - government Of the people of
the United States, and as - such, we bow down
to it as the supreme authority under the
Constitution and the laws. Nullification of
law, in the,-shape of personal liberty bills
in the North, weroppose on the same principle
that we do nullification of the laws in the
shape of rebellion in' the South.
The Dentecracy of the Northerm States stand
prepared, as they have ever done to support
the. Government Unitedly when its legal
authority is attacked or abrogated, either - by
Northern Legislatures or Southern rebels. It
has not-changed ita opinions in regard to the
,political rights - of the people in any section of
the country, and its stern, unflinching and
patriotic support of the Governinent against
plotting-traitors, and mad rebellion, must not '
be mistaken fur an endorsement of the policy
and principles of the Republican party.
But this is not a time to write politice,—
We have said this much in order to correct a
misapprehension which the patriotic enthasi
asm of the donServative men of the North, • in
behalf of the Uniot, Seems to have created
throughout the country, but especially in the
Southern States. For -the present patriotism
must take the place of politics with us. A
great battle is to be fought for the Union. and
we go shoulder to shoulder with every Union.

6000 , men,, with twelve pieces. of artillery..,--
Only about half of these „men are armed, the

the iltithber of men' at about '2sof/,' in about

Corinth, ha says: the number was ;represented
to be something over 4000 men; but:as he;did
not tee them parade, he can speak only as. to
report of these, but he thinksthe 'number. is ,
over estimated. At IsTashvill:e hexed that'

NOBLE SENT/IMLIZNt'S
Senator Douot,.is was publicly received by
the Illinois ,Legislature on the 25th - ult., and
.made a patriotic speech, urging immediate
action in support of the Government: He
said :
" Most of you know I am a good fighter in
times of partizan strife. I hope to show you
all, that I am an equally good, patriot in the
time of my country's danger. It is now your
imperative duty to throw party and party
platforms to the winds, forget that you ever
differed. Give me a country that my children
can live in peace, and then we eau have a
theatre if we desire, for partizan controversies.
" We are called upon to fold our arms and
see our Capital seized, our archives carried
away by those who glory in trampling the
American flag in the dust. Illinois and my
native State would say to day that if I bad
committed an error in my political career, it
has consisted in leaning too far 'toward the
&loth. I have never pandered to the prejti-1-
dices of the North ageing the Minoritysectinn.
While I will never invade the constitutional
rights of the South . , nor sanction their invasion
by others, I ‘ want them dietinctly to under—
stand that they hnst hot invade my constitu—
tional rights. (Loud cheers.)
"It is a prodigiodg crime agehist the free—
dom of the world to blot the United States
out of the map of. Christendom. What der
we see ? , Washington to be bombarded.! The'
President and his, Cabinet * , elected and ap—,,,
