On the other hand we hear that bold ; moasures'are contemplated by the dDunion ists. They are said to be gathering in force fer an invasion of the border States, design ing to seize Washington and consummate a violent revolution. Virginia has, by her convention, taken sides with the. rebels, and instead of sending her sons to help defend the that has always honored ltßr, she is intent on accomplishing its over throw. This state of affairs exists, in ecaie degree, in all the border States. Appearan ces new indicate a square conflict between the j free and slave States—between loyal citizens ! and a fanatical crowd of rebels, led by men j wbe beast of tbeir deeds of treasan. What is Patriotism ? Not Democracy. Not Republicanism. It bes no sympathy with traitors. It is care less of pecuniary interest. It is reckless of personal eafety. It abbores lukewarmnees. It t ras the spirit of 1776. It is the spirit of 1861. If any one doubts it, let him walk our streets, enter our stores and marts of busi ness* talk with our merchants, brokers, bank •rs. olergymsn, cartmen, firemen, working nen of every class,'and citizens of every rank and condition. Let' him consider what a spirit unites the people as one man. It is notaDger, nor revenge, nor more excitement. It ie the united uprising of a great people, who, with unparalleled forbearance, have berne insults and injuries uuti: patience is a crime. The quality of this spirit is especially in dicated by the fsct that, while these insults aod injuries whore in a sense personal to the North, they could move nothing but pity.— JUrt when emboldened by impunity, impu dent and sacrilegious hands are laid upon the sacred flag of our Union, and the principles staled by our fathers' blood are openly defied nnd trampled under foot—a patriotism iR aroused from which'the bravest cf the trai tors'will hide himself before it is appeased.

Things here are in a terrible condition.— The mob is readv for anything, and threats are made of billing Lincoln's office holders, and burning out the'union men. The Union men are praying for help from the North— A force of five thousand npen sent to the heip of the Union men, and who would over* come the police, would be enough to bold Baltimore and command Maryland.

Affairs in Baltimore* DESCRIPTION BY AN EVE WITNESS-" NEW YORK, April 22. —Mayor Alberger, of Buffalo, who had been spending some months with his relative in Baltimore, arrived here to-day with a number of other gejitlemen, who chartered a canal boat there of Friday for S2OO. They report the condition of Bal timore as fearful. Armed mobs are para ding the streets compelling all persons to unite with them in imprecations against the North, tho Governor and the Union. The principal streets are baricaded', and many of the houses have loop-hoies cut in the shut ters. Mayor Alberger was surrounded by a mob of drunken ruffians, at the Eutaw House, who endeavored, by abusive language, to provoke a word in reply, intending, no doubt to shoot bim on the spot had he afforded them any pretext. lie was unable to buy a revol ver in Baltimore, tbe stores having been ems ptied by the mob. A prominent citizen, who was known as a Union man, was compelled to leave the city at six hours' notice, with eight children. It was beleived that no Northerner's life would be worth an hour's purchase there when the next gun was fired in the war. A TRAITOR ARRESTED. IIANOVER, April 22.—Capt. Jeniper, a southern man by birth, stationed at Carlisle, resigned his commission informally yester>> day and immediately left that place, after obtaining all the movement of our troops for the rebel States in order to inform them of the movements and intercept our men, but Gov. Curtin knowing him to be a secession ist, bad appointed several gentleman to watch his movements. He was immediately followed after his flight, arrested at Hanover junction, and from thence transported back again to Car lisle as a prisoner of war. He wili be court martialed in due time, and reoeivea traitor's senteoee. A man that will eat the bread of the government, and then forsake it in the hour of need, is not fit to die a natural death. Gov. Curtia deserves great credit fer vigi lance. GREATLY OVERESTIMATED. HARPER'S FERRY, April 22.—The number of men reported to be in possession of liar per's Ferry has been greatly overestimated by the despatches sent from here. The num ber is small, and they occupy now a worth less place. The government arms had all been removed before its destruction. WILMINGTON, Del., Apr.l 22 The Balti more and Wilmington railroad is in the bands of the Government. The road is clear of all obstruction, and troops are rapidly transported to Washington byway of Havre de Grace. BOMBARDMENT OF BALTIMORE.

Gen. Negley is expected to arrive to-mor row with 1500 men from Western counties. HAVRE DE GRACE, April 24. —A gentle man has passed through from Baltimore which he left early this morning. The utmost reliance can be placed on the following information by him. He states that Fort M'Henry has certain ly been reinforced by six hundred men. The Bahimoreans had plauted cannon to ward the fort, but the commander required their removal, and this was complied with. Gannon pointed against another side of the Fort were also removed.

Havre de Grace, April 24.—The Baltimor® Sun and Exchange, of this morning, arrived here at five o'clock this evening, having been detained by the storm. Two thousand stand of arms have arrived from Harper's Ferry. Supplies of pork, flour, aud provisions for New York, have been stopped. Two light boats on the Potomac have been burned by the Virginians, in order to pre vent Government vessels from conveying troops to Washington. Heavy guns were herd yesterday morning, near the White House, and the supposition is that a transport steamer haJ been fired on. The mails between Washington and An napolis have been stopped, and the mails from Kichmond are detained by the Govern ment. The Baltimore Sun makes sport of the special despatches to the Northern press, communicating reports of the shelling of Baltimore. , The same paper says that although Pres ident Davie is not at Riobmond, he soon will be there, with an advance guard of five thou sand South Carolians, and be rabidly rein forced. the enrollment of thirty thousand hav ing been ordered. Governor Ellis, of North Carolina, has iss ued a proclamation calling an extra session of the Legislature on the Ist of May. From Washington via Harrisburg Harrisburg April 24.—An intelligent New York merchant, who left Washington at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, says that there are more than 10,000 men in Washington. Provisions are becoming searce in that city, and the Government is supplying flour to families at $8 per barrel. This is the flour seized at Gorgetown on Sunday, Gen. Beauregard is known by the Govern ment to have been in Riobmond, on Tuesday. THE MILITARY AT HARRISBURG. The War Excitement on the Increase. Three Thousand Troops in Harrisburg. | Special Correspondence of the Phila. Bulletin ] IIARRISBORG, April. 19—lOi o'clock, p. si. —Without exaggeration, it may be said that Harrisburg is fairly wild with excitement.— The news received by telegraph this after noon, of the attack made on volunteers, while passing through the city of Baltimore, and the subsequent despatch that the Arse nal at Harper's Ferry had been destroyed by our troops in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy, brought the ex citement to a pitch that it is difficult to sup pose any other event in the history of our struggle can exceed- The telegraph offices and the office of an afternoon paper was be sieged by the public, eagerly seeking for any additional information that was to be obtained, while upon the streets and in the hotels the subject was discussed in the most vehement manner. Add to this the stir oc casioned by each additional arrival of a hundred or more volunteers with the pierc ing tones of the fife and the jarring notes of the drum, and you can easily imagine what 1 mean when I say the town is wild with excitement. Amid all this tumultuous talking and fierce gesticulation, the State Government came in for a large share of reproach. And as the war of words waxed high, the excited crowd inquired why, in view of the condi tion of matters and things, the order was not given by the Governor to send oft the recruits, and strengthen the forces of the volunteers who have already gone South, in ease of an attack on the City of Washing ton. Then there was forced upon them the conviction of a truth—one which the public has known all along, bat which in the ex citement of the moment they forgot, that with but a few exceptions none of our vol unteers are armed, and that there are no arms here with wdiich to furnish them. This is a lamentable fact at the present crisis- There are no arms here, and notwithstand ing the repeated despatches of the State Department to the proper authorities, none have arrived yet. This morning the Gover nor received a telegraph of to-day from Pittsburg, (not Philadelphia, as the tele graph of to-day makes me say,) that five thousand stand of arms were on their way ; but up to the present hour of writing, noth ing had bjpn heard concerning them. Wishing.to get the latest information, I stepped up to the Executive Department a few minutes ago, and was there informed that a special despatch had just been re ceived stating that 5000 stand-of arms left Pittsburg this evening, and would arrive here t morrow morning at an early hour ; also that a thousand arms would arrive lrom Philadelphia at the same tiros. This is good news to the volunteers here, as many of them feared: that they would be obliged to leave without being suitably armed, de pending upon supplies at Washington, and that then, in the case of an attack being made upon them at Baltimore, they would fall easy victims to the violence of a mob.— As soon as these arms are received, a large number of troops will be mustered and im mediately despatched South. The camp ground to day presented a very animated appearance. The tents all day long have been hauled from the arsenal, and the soldiers have been busily employed in erecting them, and in making beds of straw. Stores and cooking utensils have been sup plied in number, and camp life is commen ced in earnest. Besides this, a large quan tity of provisions are being stored away, and every exertion is made to secure the comfort of the troops. At 8 o'clock, this evening, the number of soldiers who are encamped amounted to about 1750 men, while in the town, quar tered at the hotel's and boarding houses, there are about a thousand more. Camp orders, regulating the troops, have been is sued by E. C. Williams, Brigadier General in command, and the strictest enforcement of the rules is adhered to. No soldier is al lowed t® be out of his tent after nine o'clock, and all lights must be extinguished at the tap of the drum. Special hours are set apart for the admission of visitors ; but an order from the Governor admits me at all hours, by which means I am enabled to obtain ev ery information. ; I have mentioned that Camp Curtin has been named in honor of the Governor, and it was his intention to review the troops this afternoon ; but as I telegraphed he was com pelled to leave for Philadelphia, at noon, where his presence was indespensable. The probability is, that the review will take place to-morrow or during the early part of next week. The executive department is thronged at all hoars with individuals seeking interviews with the Governor upon military matters, and to so great an extent is this carried, that this morning I waited two hours at his room before I could obtain an opportuity to speak to him. So numerous are the de spatches received by him to which answers are required, that this morning a telegraph wire was placed in the Governor's office, so that now messages can be transmitted direct. It is but proper to add that it is to the kindness of Thomas A. Scott, Esq., Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, that the Governor is indebted for this act. Offers of volunteer companies are made from every quarter, but the complement re quired of this State, being now made up, the Governor refused their services, simply advising them to neglect no oppertunity in making themselves proficient in military tactics, until the time arrives when they may be needed more than at present. An incident has come to my notice which seems to illustrate the patriotism of the men of our State. Recently, six brothers, (some of them married men) enrolled themselves in the several volunteer companies recruited in Harrisburg, for the purpose of marching to the defence of the National Capital. Before entering the ranks they bad a miniature ta ken, representing the brothers on one plate, which they presented to their mother as a memento of their love and patriotism.— Surely it was of such men that the Roman mother proudly exclaimed, "These are my jewels !" The appearance of some of these volun teers, as they enter the city, strongly speaks to the heart of the object that has brought them here. They come clothed in the coarsest fabrics, and that scantily enough in some cases, Under their arms they carry a pair of new brogtms anticipating, as it were, the demand that may be made upon their feet in inarching, before they get Ihr'o; while in their hands they sling an old leather bag, containing a change of raiment or an extra shirt or two. At the side of some of them, strapped to their waists, dangle old swords, which, perhaps, were wielded by their forefathers in the first great struggle for American liberty, while others carry old muskets, of a half a century ago make, on their shoulders, all of thetn seemingly de termined to use what means have been pro vided them, to the best of their ability. And then of the pistols, the Colt's revolvers and other weapons, thrust into- their pockets, at the last moment, by parents and friends.— lYho can tell ? There was a rumor afloat this afternoon, that all the armed troops would leave for Washington daring the night ; but as yet it is without foundation. The Curtin Cuards I know, marched from the camp to-their ar mory, where they supplied themselves with arras, and then marched back to the camp ground. I have no doubt, however, but that on the return of the Governor, this ru mor will be verified. After I enclosed my telegraphic despatch es to day, several other companies of volun teers arrived, some of them armed. Others have been arriving during the night. Fifteen hundred troops from Ohio, are telegraphed as about to arrive at midnight. Between this and morning, there will no doubt be large accession to the forces already hero. The State Capita! Band serenaded a num ber of public men and all the volunteers, in turn, last night. The expense was generally defrayed by Messrs. George W. 11. Smith, Robert Randall, Charles L. Goehring, Rich ard VVildey and Oscar Thorpe. At a meeting of the German citizens of this place, held last night, a series of reso lutions were adopted, pledging their fidelity to the Constitution of the United States. It is with difficulty that the names of the difiorent companies are obtained as they ar rive ; as in many cases they neglect report ing to the proper authorities, so that no rec ord is to bo had, save by being on the spot at the time—an absolute impossibility when you are somewhere else. I have no doubt, whatever, but what with the arrivals I have already telegraphed, together with those volunteers on the camp ground, there are three thousand troops now in this town wait, ing marching order. Appended is a list of the companies encamped this evening : Johnstown Infantry, Captain T. M. Lap sley, 84 men. Johnstown Zouave Cadets, Captain I. M. Power, 78 men.

RETURN OF SMALL'S BRIGADE- The Mnchueu nnd New York Keg- I■tenia KentU ike City. THE BALTIMORE MOB. Philadelphia has, within the last fewdaya been the theatre of important military mow ments. The city has assumed the appear ance of the city which was threatened by aa invading army, and where nine-tenths of the men were hurrying to arms to drive baok the invaders. .Recruiting and enroling are going on upon all sides, and there are litterally " wars and rumors of wars." One of the most mortifying incidents of the week was the return home of General Small'■ Washington Brigade, composed entirely of Philadelphia troops. This body of men went from Philadelphia with the Sixth Reg ment of Massachusetts, yesterday mornrng, and they came in for a share of the ill-treat ment heaped by the Baltimore Plug Uglies upon the Bay State volunteers. The Phila delphians were entirely unarmed, and they were, of course, unable to contend with an immense mob of armed ruffians. They were brutally treated, and finanly sent back to Philadelphia by the authorities of Balti more. They reached home at a late hour last night, and proceeded at once to their rendezvous in the Northern Liberties, where their arrival created the most intense excite ment. The feeling of indignation was ex treme. Lieut. Haines, of Company A, of the in sulted Brigade furnishes some facts relative to the disgraceful riot. Prom his account it appears that the train, consisting of sev enteen cars, reached Camden Station, (with in the city limits of Baltimore,) without encountering any obstacle. It was about half-past eleven o'clock when it haulted in an open space. The first cars were occupied by the armed Massachusetts troops, who at once disem barked and formed into line a short distanee from the railroad. A few secessionists wero spectators and expressed their dislike to the volunteers by throwing missiles at the oars and using objectionable epithets. The mob increased in numbers, and finally engaged in a dipate with the Massachusetts Regiment which resulted in the infliction of injuries to the parties named. The New England men became incensed because their flag was torn and the mob fired stones and became violent. Finally the troops started to march away, and as they did so the collision occurred. The cars being left to themselves, an inter val of nearly three quarters of an hour elapsed. It was impossible for the inmates to say why the traiu was not moved, but the supposition is that the authorities of the road knew that the track ahead had been torn up, and did not think it advisable proceed. All this time the crowd was increasing, and it became so bold that au attack was made uDon the cars, the inmates of which, (with the exception of the Massa chusetts Regiment.) had retained their seals. Stones, bricks and pistol balls poured into the frail structures. The window glasses were demolished, and the woodwork began to yield. For protection the volunteers threw themselves upon the Boor of the oars, and in many cases seeured the doors with such fastenings as were at band. There w ere no weapons in the party, and no replv was made to tho assault. It was during this unprovoked outrage that the injuries were inflicted upon the persons who have been reported as wounded. This species of warfare continued until an official, which our informant believed t* be the Baltimore Chief of Police, appeared upon the scene. Under his instructions the unfortunate volunteers were crowded into as few cars as possible, the riot in the meau time continuing in all its force. A man in military clothes, on horseback, then succeeded in calming the mob, by tell ing them that " the volunteers in the cara were prisoners of war, and would immedi ately be sent back to the North." As soon a<r possible a new locomotive wa attached to the train, and it moved towarda Philadelphia. Atshoit distances it picked up volunteers, who, in the melee, had escap ed from the cars and walked homeward.— Some of the secessionists attached a flag ol the Confederate States to the engine, but it tvas taken down almost immediately, and before the cars had acquired much headway. The rest of the trip to Philadelphia was devoid of interest, except that at Wilming ton General Small was called for, and is reported to have responded in a brief speech. SEN. SMALL'S STATEMENT. General Small gives the following account of the aflair : " One-half of the Washington Brigade, consisting of six companies of the First Regiment, under Lieut. Col. Berry, and feur companies of the Second Regiment, nnder Lieut. Col. Schoenler and Gullroan, muster ed at Depot, Broad and Prime, at 10 o'clock on Thursday night, and were ready to pro ceed at once. They were delayed by the arrival of the Massachusetts Regiment, and by an uccident to one of the cars, and did not leave the depot until 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The train was a heavy one, hav ing nearly three thousand men on board and moved very slowly. Consequently, it did not arrive in Baltimore until nearly noon yesterday, instead of reaching and passmg il, as was anticipated, at or befbre daylight. As the streets were full of people at that hour, the arrival of so large a train excited much attention, and before more than one half the Massachusetts Regiment could be sent through the city by the horse cars to the Washington depot, great excitement was created. Four cars, containing the Boston troops, got safely through. Before the next detachment reached the Washington depot, the railroad on Pratt street had been partly taken up and a large number of anchors from the shipping, with other obstructions, had been placed upon the road. The rear guard of the Massachusetts troops were therefore obliged to leave the cars and march through the streets. Before they started
