Yan Doran with 800 Texans lias cap tured 450 Federal troops under Maj. Sibley, who were at Indiauoltt, and attempted to ts cape in two Failing vessels. Yan Doran pur sued them iu three small steamers, and shortly after their route seaward was cut off by a steamer from Galveston with 120 men and three pieces of artillery, when Maj.

Rumors arc current that the United States trocps have crossed tiie Marjlaud line andure now moving towards this city. Union ward meetings were held to-night throughout the city, and delegates elected to a City Convention to meet on next Monday. The delegates will meet to-morrow to take tac tion relative to the public safety hill. Resolutions were adopted iu all the wards to the following purport: "That we cherish the Constitution and laws of the United States, and will devote our for tunes and lives to defend their integrity cgaiust fill revolutionary or violent assaults. "That we regret the violent attack on the troops of the United States while peaceably marching through the city to protect tiie seat of government, and indignantly repudiate mak ing it a pretext to organize an aimed mob, un der the disguise of a special police, to place the city in a hostile attitude to the general gov ernment, and hereby declare our abhorrence for the attempt of tiie Legislature to inaugu rate a military despotism by a biil for the creation of what is caiied a Board of Public- Safety. " That the persons named for tiie said Board have not the confidence of the people, and we protest against the whole measure as an inva siou of the prerogatives of the Governor, and a usurpation of executive power l took possession of Mr. Luekett's and Talbot's ; farms, established a camp, and announced that if any hostile demonstration was made they! ! should fortify the neighboring heigh!?. i The troops arc said fo have cut down the ; : telegraph poies on the lire west of Relay, so ! as to prevent communication between Haiti- i ; more and Harper's Ferry. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is abo "held, to prevent for warding supplies to Secession troops iu Vir ginia. It is believed here that the read from Wheel : ing will be taken possession of for the same 1 purpose, and scon Secession troop.; will hold ; the road only from Harper's Ferry to Martins- I burg. The troops this afternoon were drilling at the Relay. Their approach is said to have been so quiet and stealthy that the iirst the j tel graph operator knew of it was when the 1 guard ccine in and took possession. The news j is not generally known here, but so far as it ! lias been announced, it has been received with ' satisfaction, except among the National Vol- : unteers, who attacked the Massachusetts ' ' troops, and they feel themselves powerless to 1 resist. Two thirds of the members of the LegLla ture are here, seine of whom intended to leave j this afternoon for Frederick, i cannot learn whether liicy were permitted to pass the Re- • I lay. A special train will leave to-morrow mem- j ! ng. The intention of the troops was to permit no 1 communication West for the present. If this be carried out, t!ic assembling of the Legisla- ! ture will be postponed until they can and oth- j er means of reaching Frederick, or they con clude to meet elsewhere. The Union men are rejoicing over the proj pect of this unexpected stay of treasonable leg islation, which they believe must be entirely j stopped. The intention of the S c-.-ssionists was, in view of the certain defeat of the Com mittee of Safely bill, to keep the Legislature \ in session to take advnntngo i f any contingen cy which would enable them to accomplish ! their purpose. The prompt movement of i troops I-as already deranged their plans, and • demoralized the whole JSecersicn movement in Maryland. There is a tumor that Cen. Scott is in the city, but 1 o-.u unaMe to find any foundation for it. The repairs on the Central Railroad N*c.t!i, are rapidly approaching completion, nnd by to morrow it is supposed that the I enasylvaaia troops will move toward the city. There are tumors alloc, t that a detachment i | from the Relay House will occupy Camden s'a- : lion, on the Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, in the morning, but there is no definite informa tion. At the Union Convention last night, a mo tion was tnode to amend the resolutions so as J to admit the riaht of Secession by a sovereign Convention. The motion was voted down, ihe almost unanimous sentiment being for the Uu ; ion, without an if. I HOW THE ATIM3 WKIIE TAKEN*FROM THE ST. LOUIS ARSENAL. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Sfkinofjeld, April ?, 18G1. 1 am now able to give a complete and cc curate marrative of the transfer of the ■?1,000 stand of arms from St. Lcuis to Springfield. Capt. •Tame; H. Stokes of Chicago, h!c of j tin- rt-g hilar army, volunteered to undertake 1 the perilous mission, and Hoy. Vales placed in his bands the requisition of the Secretary of ' War for 10,0011 muskets. Capt. Stokes went ; to St Louis and made his way as rapidly a; ' ; possible to the arsenal. He found it surround j ed by an immense mob, and the postern gates al! closed. His utmost efforts to penetrate the i crowd were for a long lime unavailing. The I requisition was shown. Capt. Lyon doubted j the possibility of executing it. He said the arsenal was surrounded by a thousand spies, ' ' and every movement was watched and report ed to the headquarters of the Secessionist?, who couid throw an overpowering force upon ' them at any moment. Capt. Stokrs represent- | ed that every hour's delay was rendering the capture of the arsenal more certain: and the ; arms must be removed to Illinois,now or never. ! Major Collcuder agreed with him, and told : him to take them at his own time and in his 1 own way. This was 'Wednesday night. Capt. Stokes had a spy in the camp, whom ! ' he met at intervals in n certain place in the city. On Thursday he riceived information that Gov. Jackson had ordered two thousand j armed men down from Jefferson City, whose j movements could only contemplate a seizure of the arsenal, by occupying the bights around it, and planting batteries thereon. Thp job would have been an easy one. They had a!:e idy planted one battery on the St. Louis levee, and another at Powder Point, a shortdi tmce below the arsenal. Capt. Stokes immediately telegraphed to Alton to have the steamer City : of Alton drop down to the arsenal landing j about midnight lie then returned to the j arsenal, and commenced moving the boxes of guns, weighing some three hundred pounds each, down to the lower floor. About 700 men were employed in the work lie then took 600 Kentucky fiint-iock ir.u-kets which had been sent there to be aitered, and sent them to be placed on a steamer as a blind to cover his real movements. The Secessionists i nabbed them at once, and raised a perfect Bedlam over the capture. A large portion of the outside crowd left the Ar-enal when this ' movement was executed; and Capt. Lyon took i the remainder, who were lying around as spies and locked them up in his guard-house. About II o'clock the steamer City of Alton came i alongside, planks were shoved out from the windows to the main deck, and the boxes siid ' down. When the 10,000 were safely on board i Capt. Stokei went to Capt. Lyon bb when the cargo i was ail deposited in the cats, and ti j tr .in i f moved on, amid their enthusiastic cheers, fur j | Springfield. !

THREW 11 kb Shoe at Them.— A dr.yor two since, an incident occurred to the Ilarlanburg, (Lawrence county) volunteer company, which ,is worthy of record. There is nr. old Irish su } perdition that if a shoe is thrown at you, when ! starting upon any expedition, it i ; certainly ; good luck, or success in what you have under- i taken. As the company passed through Cro I ton, nn enthusiastic Iris-h giri pulled off her ; ' shoe and threw it at them. The company ua- j ' lerstood the matter, and hailing, gave thegii! i three rousing cheers.

STURRUCK,\ LDiTORS TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, May 9, 1861. SUMMARY OF TIIE DAILY INTELLIGENCE. In the State Senate on the 3d inst., an act to provide for the inspection of salted provis ion for the army and navy and for experta tions, was rejected. An act was passed Au thorizing the several counties of the State to irranfc relief to tjic families of the volunteers. In the House, the stay law wn> discussed, amended and laid aside. The Governor's veto of the Philadelphia Police bill was dis cussed. A resolution was passed inquiring of the Governor how much of the half million dollars already appropriated for military pur poses has been spent, how expended Ac.; and a tommunieation was presented lroin tiie com- ( mantling officers of Camp Curtin. complain-j ing of the inferior quality of tha blankets ; furnished to the troops. From Loui.-ana wc learn 'hat that State is very slew in fu'nishing its quota of troops, relied for by Jefferson Davis. Too explana tion of this is, tint the Louisiana planters ■ and farmers fear a" i ii:tg of the slaves."— ; ; Almost every plantation is doubly guarded, I everywhere, tho slaves are watched with the utmost vigilance. Planters refuse to let any of their white employees enlist, but rrn them j ! and keep them as a privet* guard. There were nunc, j i.i Louisville that r.

Already a of four full com-| panics, composed of the proprietors and cm- j ploye?, ha re been formed and | roperiy officered among :t themselves. Oilier foundries art actively engaged in shot and slicii 'liie Lonisviilc Courier announces that the fire or six hundred Kentucky traitors who left ; Louisville to a: Ist tho confederate States in ; the war they have begun against the general go veranjcnt.havc changed their destination for 1 \ irginia. Fifteen hundred negroes have enrolled . hers- , sel.i;; n-> soldiers in the confederate army in New Orleans. Tho V. heeling Intelligencer of April 25 j gives a list cf eight companies formed to that i date in ikr.t city, to support the government, j none of there iGMpr : es eo:.. rling of less than I eighty men. A company has ui.-o been formed i for the same purpose ul Beawool, three miles f 1 ' below Wheeling, on the Ohio river. We publish President Lincoln's proe'aroa- ; i tion, culling for 40,000 more volunteers to : serve tares years, and an incrcr.se of 22/JOO ! to the regular army, and IS,OOO seamen to the j navy, making in all SO,OOO men. Most of the free States are alreedy prepared to fill this re- i qnisition. The Governor of Indiana has refused to join the Governor of Kentucky in a league of mu tual pence. He talis upon ivenlac j to stand by the Federal government r aiast rebellion. -y Senator Dot :i as made a speech at Co ; iumbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, in which he said it was useless to waste time in discussing the ! j- cause of the civil war—all that we had now to I consider was our duty au citizen:;, and that du- 1 ; ty was to stand by the fi j r , and to defend the Capitol of tho nation. The question was, would the people permit traitors to destroy the con i stitntionaily elected Government, or would tlity 1 suppress rebellion ? Tills was a great commer c-ial question. Shall we have a petty passport ' system which v. ou!d require of every citizen who wishes to cross a Slato line such a permit as i- now given in the South to a negro?— Shall our baggage be overhauled on every bor- 1 uer, if we wish to travel ? Shall our Com- 1 rairco bo subject to sectional dictation ? It is uo time now fcr crimination. We must rally to the defence of the Government—to the re- : establishment of the Union. Speaking of Gen j SCOTT, Mr. Dot .t..\s said that in Washington he met on the street a Virginia gentleman who came ns Chairman of a Ccmmitteo to offer SCOTT the command of the Southern army.— Scott's reply wa3 that for fifty years he had j devoted his life to the defence of the ling of j his country, and so long as Gon permitted him j to live lie would stand by it against nil assail | ants, even though Virginia, his native State | were among them. THE CONTRIBUTION t -O THE WAR. — Accord- ; ing to the most accurate calculations,the cnor j raous sum of $29,000,000 have been contrib- ' uted by the citizens of the loyal States, and the States themselves as a freewill-offering to carry on the war. Were it necessary we be* lieve that the entire expenses of the war would be paid by State, county and individual sub scriptions. In contrast with this it is authori tatively stated that only $5,000,000 of the Southern Confederated loan have been taken. Rebellion is hard upon Southern credit. PATRIOTIC TEARS. — At Willard's Hotel, Washington, the other evening, a lady wa fc . seated at the piano, 6inging, Geneial Wool, wearing his button, asked her to sing the Star Spangled Banner. She did it with admirable effect. The General stood beside her with the tears running down his cheeks, and as lie turned to dash them from his eyes that rever quailed before his count:y's foes on the field of battle, the parlor wrang with the applause the eong and the scene so well merited. Letter from Camp Cnrtin. CAMP CCRTIM, May 5, 1801. Sitting here in tlie quarters of the Bradford Uuion Guards, it occur* that the friends at home may wish to know something of our situation. It will bo unnecessary to detail our experience at the outset, and our detention at East Troy—friends at tisecamp probably have made known'that our stay there was a pleas ant one, only marred by rumors of hr.ving to return home, which prospect was r.ct very gra ciously received, but they cannot do justice to the respect which every member of the Coin pany feels for our host, Mr. HILMER, of tiie East Troy House, and his estimable family, who, during our stay did everything that could he done to make us comfortable. Time pass ed slowly with the detention, and the rumors that pointed to a return home, hut at last, through the exertions of friends, Wednesday, the Prstdny of May, at daylight, saw ns take up our march for the depot at Troy. Mud nor rain couldn't dampen the enthusiasm, and the three pioneer Companies from old Bradford moved oil on the rails with cheers. At Wil !iamsport we joined Col. KANE'S Companies, from I'otter, Elk, M'Kean Bnd Cameron coun ties— a hardy, robust set of men, clad in red shirts, with buck's tails in their caps, from which they doubtless acquired their title of ! " Buck tail Hungers," together with a contpa ' ny from Tioga, making in all eight companies. ' The Hungers were accompanied by the Repass Brass Band, of Williumsport. At Sunbury notice was given of a slide on ihe track, and tbo soldiers disembarked and made n:i attack on the provisions which the | ladies had arranged on tables by the side of | the track. It soon leaked out, however, that the " slide " was a dispatch from the Governor ; ordering tiie detention from la k of accoinmj ; divtions at Camp Curtin. Though disappoint ed, tiie men soon became reconciled in view of the exertions which tiie ladies made for their , conveniences ; and when it i. remembered that j there were upwards of 000 hungry men to feed and lodge, end that both were done to the satisfaction of ail, and that it was not an ex _ ception but an everyday occurrence to the I passing soldiers, the amount of praise to which the Indies of Sunbury ate entitled can be esti i mated. The printers of the Company enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. BAUCHMAN of the Amer \ '.am, whose kindness, and tli3t of his estimable lady wiil be held in grateful remembrance. Many of the boys, doubtless, hold the bnglit | eyed and noble hearted girls iu more than grateful remembrance, for, from the talk that is daily nscd, tht-ir devotion to tlicrn is secoud i only to their love for tiie cause. Orders came on Thursday morning, and ! from a hollow square on the green, Col. MEANS 1 tendered the thanks cf the companies to the citizen.', a:.J after three cheers for the ladies of Sunbury, and a salr.te from Col. KANE'S ; H deun n, the companies embatkrd once again. V.'o niched et Ilurrisburg at 1 o'clock, and formed at t tic foot of Market st., preceded by Co!. KANE'S men with the Repass Band. Each company carried its banner unfurled, and tit* marching not only won the praise of the ofli i cere, but elicited buttering remarks froiu tiie j tho isands of spectators. Arrived in camp the j boys countenances fell at the prospect of out I io. g bunk filled with straw which was to serve as a bed,and hunger had grown pretty imper ative before a move was made to draw the ra | lijtis of bread,-meat and potatoes, and to im i prove an out door fire which was to serve to i prepare their first camp meal. But ail things i have a beginning, and with the improvemnets ! that otir geniuses bare made and the materials we have f, raged, the boys now call camp life j just the thing. The camp now contains but nbout 3,000 ' soldiers, four regiments having left during the i week and an additional one will leave to morrow A new regiment has been formed from the Tioga companies and Col. KANE'S meu and the follow j ing officers elected : Colonel. — THOMAS 1.. KANE, of Philadelphia. ; J.i'uhnant IW.-J.D.

THE CAMP AT CAIRO.— A correspondent of the Chicago Journal writes from Cairo, 28ih nit.,that the Big Muddy creek Bridge is guard ed by 200 Zouaves and a detachment of Chicago Artillery, with two guns. The camp at Cairo, is located upon a plot of about five acres south of the city, on which are the bar racks and tents of the troops. The reveille sounds every morning at five o'clock, and soon after all the troops, with the exception of those on guard, are put through an inspective drill. Notwithstanding the extremely low sit uation of the camping ground, the health of the men is good, they nre all nwaitir.g with anxiety a meeting witli the enemy. The cor respondent says he never saw a camp in bet ter spirits, or a stronger feeling of espirit du eordt. 4©- Or lute, Superintendent the Police Department, 55ys th(J Herald, has been in receipt of ] eU I ing information that there w as ' ** tempt on foot to destroy tbj, a , * North, and by an association ' k J'Sl Knights of the Golden Circle, Kennedy received another letter in St. Loot's, setting f ort h t | 18 had been previously forwarded Mr. Kennedy his every reason to J W be attempted should a favorable be off. red. -J I It stems that at the time a brea in the Croton aqueduct, the city *'"* I in various places by a gang reported'?' been hired by parties Sooth. .I secured various booses throughout t * I at a certain time they are to sim n p I fire the buildings.
