IiTEST HMJIE lIS. BALTIMORE SUCCUMBED ! PASSAGE CF TROOPS THROUGH BALTIMORE! RIOT IN ST. LOUIS ! Surrender of the Missouri Militia to the IT. S. Troops. BALTIMORE SUCCUMBED. BALTIMORE, May 10,1S1. Five steam transporls from Perryviiie land ed about 200 troops at Locust Point yesterday afternoon, at which place they took the cars for tho Relay House. They comprised the First Pennsylvania Artillery regiment under Col. Patterson, and the Texas Regulars and Sherman's battery. Locust Point is on the south side of the har bor, in that portion of the city known as Fed eral Hill, about a tnilc above Fort Mcllenry. Tbe presence of the troops was viewed with satisfaction by the residents oi' the vicinity, and there were no indications of hostility. It is not known whether thev proceeded to Wash ing toil or stopped at the Relay House. A special dispatch from Frederick received this morning states that the forest on the Maryland side of the Potomac near Harpers Ferry was fired last night and much valuable timber destroyed. About 800 Kentucky and Virginia troops we're encamped npon the Maryland shore, and tho heights iu that vicinity r."a being fortified, a battery has also been placed at Jefferson Rock, aud trains of powder enclosed in pipes have been laid for blowing up the bridges aud other property at a moments notice. The conduct of the Virginia troops has ex cited indignation among the people cf Wash ington county. A party of thirty Baltiraoreans passed thro' Frederick this morning for Harper's Ferry. The Norfolk steain-r brings a report that the Virginians havo seized the small steamer Com. Seidon, which made the connection be tween Old Point Comfort and Norfolk, and thus all communication is cut off. FA3SAGE OF TROOPS THROUGH BALTIMORE. BALTIMORE, Slay 10. Col. Patterson's 2nc regimjnt of Philadel phia volunteers, Sherman's celebrated battery, and several companies of United States regu lars from Texa3,passed through this city yester day afternoon on their way to Washington The troops landed at Locust Point, near Fed eral Hill, and they were received with much enthusiasm by the people in the vicinity. Tho long line of armed meu filled through the streets in splendid array, and there was not the slightest obstacle offered to their j ro gress. At many points they were greeted with cheers,and the ladies at the wiudows encourag ed the soldiers with pleasant smiles and wav inghandkerchiefs. The passage through the city of this formidable body cf well disciplined sol diers has strengthened tiie Uuion cause here. SURRENDER OF THE MISSOURI MILITIA TO THE UNITED STATES TROOPS. ST. LOCIS, May 10. General Frost's brigade of Missouri militia, encamped at Camp Jackson, on tho western outskirts of the city, surrendered uncondition ally, this afternoon, on tho demand of Captain Lyon, commander of the United States forces in this city. Captain Lyon marched on Camp Jackson with some thousand volunteers, surrounded it, and planted eight field pieces cu the adjoining eminence. The following letter was sent from Captain Lyon to Gen. Frost: HEAL- QUARTERS or THE U. S. Tr.oors,} ST. LOCIS, MAY 10, ISGI, j To Gev. D. M FR9ST : Sir.: Your command is regarded as evident ly hostile towards the-Government of il.e Un ited States. It is for'the most part made up of those Secessionists who have openly avowed their hostility to tho General Government,and have been plottingnt the seizure of itg property and overthrow of itsauthority. You nreopeuly in communication with the so-called Southern Confederacy, which is now at war with the United States, and you are recciviug at your camp, from the said Condfederaey, and under its flag, large supplies of the material of war, most of which is known to be the property of the United States. These extraordinary preparations plainly in dicate none other than the well known pur pose of the Governor of this State,under whose orders you are acting, and w hose purpose, as recently communicated to the Legislature, has just been responded to by that body in the most unparalleled legislat ion,having an indirect view to hostilities to the General Government and a position with its enemies. In view of these considerations, and your failure to disperse in obedience to the procla mation of the President, and of the eminent necessity of State policy and welfare and of the obligations imposed upon me by inst: uc tions from Washington, it is my duty to de mand, and I do hereby demand of you, an immediate surrender of your command, with no other condition than that all persons sur rendering nnder this demand shall be humane ly and kindly treated. Believing myself prepared to enforce this de mand, one-half hour's time before doing so will be allowed for vour compliance therewith. X. LYO.V. Captain Second Infantry, Commanding the Troops. It is understood that General Frost says this letter was not received hy him until his camp was surrounded by United States troop*, lie then replied that the encampment was or ganized tinder the law of the State simply for organizing and drilling the volunteer railita of this military district. Not expecting any de monstration of this kind, he was entirely un prepared to successfully resist the attack. He therefore accepted tiio terms specilied and surrendered his command. There were only about 800 men in the camp ft large number being in the city on leave of absence. These troops laid down their arms, aud were escorted to tbt city as prisoners of war. PROCLAMATION HY THE PRESI DENT. WASHINGTON, May 11. The President has issued u proclamation, setting forth that insurrection exists in the State af Florida, by which the lives, liberty au 1 property of the loyal citizens are endun gercd.ar.d as it is deemed proper that ali need ful measures should be taken lor the protec tion of such citizens, aud of all officers of the United States in the discharge ol their public duties in that State, the President directs the Commander of the forces of tho United States on the Florida Const to permit no person to exercise any office or authority upon the Islands of Key West, the Tortugas.aud Santa Rosa, which may be inconsistent with the laws aud Constitution of the United Stales, author izing bira at the same time, if bo shall find it uecessan, to suspend there tho wiit of habeas corpus, and to remove from the vicinity of the United States fortresses ali dangerous or sus pected persons. NEGRO INSURRECTION IN KEN TUCKY. FRANKFORT, Ky., May 10. A messenger arrived hero this morning, bringing the information that three or four hundred negroes had armed and formed them selves into a company, und were committing depredations. The whites undertook to disarm them, dur ing which several were killed. The Governor has sent General Buchner to ascertain the truth of the matter, lie has not returned. The military are held iu readiness to march as soon as ordered. Risixc Sex, Ind., May 10.—Tho telegraph operator at Patriot, Indiana, telegraphs that I.e has been called upon to aid in quelling a negro insurrection which broke out last night iu Owen and Gallatin counties, Ivy. Great fears were feit, as it was supposed tie negroes were led ou by two or three white citizens of Kentucky. The people are gathering all their forces to put down the rebellion, and runners have been sent into Indiana for assistance. Capt. Wells, cf this place, who has a com pany ready lor our own State service, has tele graphed that lie would send his men aud arms to their assistance if necessary. Tho telegraph line lias been down all the morning between Patriot and Vevuv, so we aie without any news from t'.ie latter DIACC.— it is thought that tho lines have been cut by the insurgents, to prevent the transmission of cows of tho insurrection. RIOT IN ST. LOUIS. ST. Laris, May IC.IS6U The city was the scene of another terrible tragedy last night. About 6 o'clock a large body of Home Guards entered the city through Fifth street, from the Arsenal, where they had been enlisted during tho day and furnished with arms. On reaching Walnut ttreet the troops turned westward, a large crowd lining tho pavement to witness their progress. At the corner of Fifth street parties among the spectators began hooting, hissing, and other wise abusing the companies as they passed,and a boy about fourteen years old discharged a tiistnl into their ranks. Part of the rear company immediately turn ed and fired upon the crowd, and the whole column was instantly in confusion, breaking their ranks and discharging their muskets down tiieir own line aud among the people on the sidewalks. The shower of bails for a few min utes was terrible, the bulletts flying in every direction, entering the doors and windows of private residences, breaking si; utters, tearing railings, and even smashing bricks in the third story. The utmost confusion and conster nation prevailed, spectators fleeing in all di rections, and, but lor the random firing of tiie troops, scores of people must have been killed. As most of the firing was directed down their own ranks, the troops suffered most se verely, four of their number being instantly killed and several wounded. Jerry Svvitzer, a river engineer, John Garvin, and Win. (Judy, ail citizens, were killed. Charles II Wood ward was wounded in the shoulder; his entire arm will have to bo amputated. J. Godfrey, working in the garden ot Mr. Cozens, received three Minie balls in his body. Michael Davis had an ankie shattered. James F. Welch was badly shot in the foot. REPORTED SKIRMISHING AT ALEX ANDRI A. PSKYVILLE, Sunday, May 12. There are rumors in camp, this evening, of skirmishing nt Alexandria to-day, in which a company o! Virginia cavalry were engaged. 'i'fie railroad is still here. It is to go forward with the first train to-morrow. An alarm in camp, before daylight this morning, found the sentries all alert, and the men under arms in a few minutes. Passengers from tlie South discredit the idea of an attack 011 Washington, but confirm the accounts ot large forces in Virginia. REVIEW OF THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS. HAUKISBCBO, San-lay, May 12. There was a grand review at York today. The Governor and many members of the Leg islature were present. There were five regi ments on the ground. Tho Thirteenth, for some reasou not known, d-d not parade. The First, Second, Third and Twelfth made a fine appearance. Thirty one freight cars, with rough seats for tiie soldiery, are immediately opposite liarrisburgh, on the Northern Cen tral Railroad, and twenty-two at York. They are evidently intended for the immediate trans missiot. of troops in large bod es. The camp at York is filled with water in many places. A special train, tiiis morning, for the Gov ernor, returned at 7 o'clock to night. Great numbers of the citizens of York were present at the review. The Governor was received with lond shouts by the troops. An attempt was made, today, to tear up the track of tiie Northern Central Railroad, fourteen miles this side of Baltimore. It was detected before much injury was done. Great indignation prevailed ut the determination to take summary vengeance. lIARKISEURC, May 9. Aii officer arrived at the Chatnbersbnrg camp, brings intelligence that the Virginians had seized, on Tuesday morning, the heights on the Maryland side of the i otoiuac, at Har per's Ferry, and were engaged ia fortifying them. The number of Virginia troops is said to be nearly 0,000, the force having beeu increased by 1,200 Kentuckiuns. Four companies of United States cavalry, which marched from Carlisle Barracks 011 Monday, passed unmolested through Mar) laud ami have reached Gen. Scott's liues. CLEVELAND. May 4. 15G1. Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania; Gov. Dennis ton of Ohio; Gov. Randall of Wisconsin; Gov. Blair of Michigan; Gov. Morton of Indiana, and Xoesuor of Illinois, were in confereuee here last night. They wero serenaded and made speeches. Sral)farb|U))orter. E. O. GOODRICH, rnrrnß? R. tV. STURRUCK, t-DITORS. TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, May 16, 1861. THE WAR NEWS. All hopes of an amicable adjustment of our national difficulties are at on end. War is in evitable, and it must break forth with nil its horrors ere long. There are already reports of a skirmish at Alexandria, but for the truth of which wc cannot vouch. We learn from Washington, that six thous and southern troops are already stationed at Richmond, and that nineteen thousand more, (making an aggregate of twenty-five thousand men), are stationed at different points within fifty miles of that place. An attack upon the Capitol is anticipated, and tlio Government is making all necessary preparations for a suc cessful defence. Our advices from North-Western Virginia aro extremely interesting The Union men there, who comprise the great majority of pep tization in between thirty and forty couuties, are hard at work in the struggle against seces sion, the active military movements of the Go vernmcnt giving them confidence that they will not be deserted in their position, and that they will ultimately succeed. The Convention call ed to meet at Wheeling assembled on the 13th inst., attended by delegates west of the Alie ganies and north of the Kanawha river. Op position to secession is general, but opinions among the delegates are divided as to the pro per course to be ptusued. One party are in favor cf the immediate division of the State, and the organization of a new State Govern ment ; another party favors open opposition to the action of the recent Convention at Rich mond, with a view to the overthrow of treason in the entire State ; while a third party think the action of the present Convention should be pimply advisory, and that it should issue a cail for another Convention, toconsistcf delegates from a larger territory, ia which final action should be determined upon. The first great victory of the campaign, will be consumatcd hy the annexation to the north of the loyal portion of Virginia, which embra ces nearly one half of the entire territory of that State. About thirty thousand square miles of Virginia soil w ill lie attached to the free North, and it 3 inhabitants will enroll themselves under the Siar.-> and Stripes and fight for the Union. North-Western \ irgiuia is loyal to the Union, and cannot be forced into rebellion against the Constitution and laws. It is very evident that the South is not fully united,as many olhei Slave States arc in about the same situation that Yirgir.a is. The .blockade of Southern ports on the At lantic coast is now probably complete, includ ing Charleston, and tlie Savannah River, and those of the Gulf will soon be in the same con dition, if they arc not already so. The de>ti nation of the Xingirti, which left New York several days ago, is understood to be New Or leans The Secretaries of War and the Navy have been assiduous in their endeavors to per fect the biockade, and for this purpose, in adr dition to the national vessels, about twenty armed steamers from New York, Boston and Philadelphia, have been and are being put in readiness. The Virginia waters are now coin pletely invested by Federal vessels, and Capt. Prendergast, the officer in command of the licet there, has given the necessary fifteen days' notice to all vessels to leave the porls of that State, either with or without cargoes. An ex tension of time has been asked in several cas es, but invariably refused. Fort Mcllenry has been still farther re-en forced ; 1,200 men arc now there. Gen. But ler, with 50 men and two pieces of cannon, went thither from Annapolis on the 12th inst. There appears to be some reason to fear that movements is about being made upon the Re lay House by the Rebel troops at Harper's Ferry. A messenger sent from Gov. Ilicks of Mary land to Gov. Letcher at Richmond has return ed, and reports that the Virginians expected 30,000 troops to arrive lrutn the South at Richmond oa Tuesday. The ocouts sent out from Washington daily retnrn with accounts of bodies of Southern troops at Lynchburg, Richmond, Montgomery, New Orleans and Pensacoia ; they state that the men arc anxious to march upon Washing ton, and that if this move is not made the of- ficers will have difficulty in retaining them. It is said that three thousand applications have already been made to the Southern Con federacy for letters of marque. The gentlemen of the South rush to piracy as to their uatural sports. Up to the hour of going to. press, nothing more of importance Lad been received at this office. TENNESSEE. —The people, by a trtajority of 70,000, voted against a convention—ar.d yet the Legislature, like that of Maryland, won! d vote the State out of the Union, and have pas sed an ordinance to that effect. Hon. T. A. R. Nelson and Andrew Johnson say they will fight against it under the Stars and Stripes, and spill their last drop of blood for the Union. The leader of the Union party in East Tennes see say that if the State secedes, the eastern part will rebel, secede from the State, and stick to the Union. teg* A train of western cars, containing ten horses and a hundred head of cattle, bound to Baltimore, was seized by the troops at Har per's Ferry. Letter from Camp Cnrtin. CAMP CCKTIW, May 10,18C1. As usual, today has brought a continuation of the same old rain storm, and the soldiers having left off drill and congregated in their quarters, I take tlio opportunity of writing a few words in tlio intervals between dodging the drops that come in through our hemlock roof. Camp Curtin has been so often describ ed, that it is, perhaps, unnecessary to say more than it is situated about one mile and a half above town, in the inclosed grounds of the Agricultural Society. Accommodations for soldiers have been erected on the four side 3 of the enclosed space, consisting of sheds, of a very common kind. On the space within the circular track of the race course, are situated other sheds of a rather better character—the store houses and lio.-pital—the parade ground occupying one side of the space, and a multi tude of tents whitening the other. The parade ground is tidged and uneaven—not very good for beginners, bnt affording good practice to the better drilled companies. The level track of the course s ehiclly used when the nmd is not too deep, nffording a good place for the practice of double quick time, and originating many intricate moves to avoid coliision. The Camp, when full, is a place of considerable in terest, and on a pleasant day the movements of sometimes five thousand men in all styles of dress and discipline combined with the glisten ing of acres of burnished muskets, and the in spiring colors of the hundreds of banners, and the presence of the ladies, make up an attrac tive scene, and the time passes pleasantly; but on a day like this,.the boys have to fall hack upon the primitive amusements of a uap in the straw, a game of euchre, smoking, reading and meditation. Among so many there must be some gc-niuscs, and some new excitement is constantly arising. In one part of the Camp may be seen a group of gymnasts whose feats would not disgrace a circus, in another sing ers, who would do credit to a stage, cs well cs burlesque parades, Jeff Davis funerals, ora tions, and every conceivable amusement that ingenuity can invent to make the time pass pleasantly. Cooking is done generally by two or three men from each company, who make it their business. Some have 6toves inclosed in 6hautees, while others may be seen sitting in tbe rain around a wood fire, holding their meat to the coals npoti tbe point of the bayo net. The rations of fresh beef, bread, pota toes, rice, coffee, sugar, Ac., ar drawn every day, and are of good quality, and in quantity more than sufficient—enough being wasted to feed a small town. The routine of Camp life is about as fol lows. At the revillie in the morning at 5 o'clock, every one is required to turn out to roll call, after which there is a drill till break fast time, when they arc dismissed till some ap pointed time—which time sometimes means the next morning, and the balance of the day is spent in killing time to the best advantage —some preferring to drill in •squads, others comfortably disposed in the tents read the pa pers, or the Bible, while not a small number direct their energies to some means of eluding the guard and getting to town, in which they arc often successful. At 9 o'clock, tattoo is beat, and every one is supposed to put out bis lights and be quiet ; but it is oftentimes tbc noisiest time of all—whole companies often joining in singing some familiar hymn, or roar ing in laughter at some odd circumstance or remark. The reality of war does not seem to be realized, but all has tiie appearance of a protracted Fourth of July. The Camp at the present writing has a rather deserted appear ance, being occupied by enly twenty unattach ed companies, though new companies are ar riving every day, and preparations are making to receive a large number, who will come in under the new requisition. Owing to the three-months' requisition be ing filled, a considerable number Irom each company have left, not being willing to enter the service lor a longer time than they enlist ed for. Company A was cut down nearly one half ; a good portion of those who left imme diately entered the l-ltli and loth regiments, which were about to march, while a number being anxious to see their mamma's, started for home, and may probably have been seen about the streets ere this. The company will not suffer by the loss, as the required number can easily be filled up here—though no effort has yet been made, as we expect recruits from home. Perhaps those who left arc not so blameworthy as some may think, for it cer tainly requires more nerve to bear the delay and dilly dallying to which we have been sub jected, than would be needed in actual ser vice. Our boys arc all well, though wc have been saddened by the death and danger of comrades whom we were compelled to leave 011 the way. We occupy comfortable quarters, (when it don't rain,) and have had nothing to mar our harmonv. At our lu\e election, A. J. TROUT was elected Captain, and A. G. MASON, First Lieutenant, and J. GILL MEANS as Second Lieutenant. Capt. TROUT lias won the confi dence of commanding oflicer SEII.E:?, by hi.-, ability and correct deportment, and has twice filled the important position of Officer of the Day, and to-morrow our whole company are detailed to occupy the honorable station of guard to the Arsenal at Ilurrisburg. The people of Ilarrisburg are very kind to the soldiers, the merchants especially, as they have never been known to charge more than two prices for any thing they may want, and the citizens are all wil'ing to make any sacri fice, provided they get their pay for it. The Patriot 4* Union is now the r-pecial object of attention from our boys, in cotiseqaeuce of its cowardice upou them, and upon the people of Bradford county. It Las been warned, and n retraction will perhaps render it unnecessary for tho Patriot to again call upon the author ities for protection from soldiers' indignation. Nothing is yet known as to the final dispo sition of the Bradford companies in the forma t;on of a regiment. It was talked of once that we would unite with the Susquehanna— which will probably be the case if she has any companies left—two of the Montrose compa nies having started home yesterday, being un willing to enter the three years service. The boys do not express any choice as to their des tination—being only anxious to be called upon for some active du y soon. There is only one thing of which we have reason to complain. Either the Post office here is a greater hum bug than everybody thinks it to he, or our friends at home have forgotten us, as letters and papers aro Ike angels visits, few and far between. Letters should be addressed to the care of the Captain of the company, and if by any accident a person happens to get neer the single delivery window in the course of the few hours it is kept open, ha can get the mail for the whole company. The Legislature is still to work upon the War Bill. It passed the House to-day by a unanimous vote, and will probably receive the sanction of the Senate tomorrow. 3. A SOLDIER'S EQUIPMENTS. —The following ere allowed to each soldier, to be placed in the knapsack or bundle. We publish it as useful to volunteer companies, formed or in process of formation, or for friends who wish to aid them : One fatigue cap, two flannel shirts (one on,) two pair of drawers, (one on,) four pair of socks, (one on,) one pair pants, one over coat, one blanket, one pair shoes, (broad soled, low heels, and well saturated with oil,) one towel, one comb, one piece of soap, one black siiK neckcloth, one colored silk handkerchief, one pair slippers (for nse when heavy shoes are drying.) one flannel sack, one toothbrush. No other baggage will be allowed, except pipes, segars and and tobacco ! " A stand of arm," properly speaking, is a complete set of arms for one soldier, which would include tla bayonet, musket, and its appurtenances. The boys in camp have their hair cut close to the scalp. They say they rasp their beads each morning, now, in place of combing their hair. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia I'rets thus describes the New York Zouaves at the Capitol : Tiie New York Zouave*, under command of Co! Ellsworth, of Illinois, have created u good deal of consternation in oar City of Magnifi cent distances. Tncy have hail two davs of extensive, expensive and extreme fight, fan and frolic. They have broken into taverns, terri fied old ladies, ordered dinners nud sappers which they had the impudence to request their victims to charge to that bankrupt concern, the Southern Confederacy, and performed ma ny other irreverent feats. They now occupy the new llall of the House of Representatives from which their aristocratic prouece-ssora, the New \ ork Seventh Regiment, required to en counter the rain stcrm of Friday and Satur day ; and in order nut to be behind the ilepre sentutives of th-* pe>j :e, lii<-y yesterday impro vistd a House of Representatives, elected a .Speaker, Clerk and other officers, went into full session, dissolved the Uuion and recon structed it, and than wound up the joke by going into Executive Session, utter the model of the Senate, and in obedience so the exam pie of Senator Mason of Virginia, ordered tiie •naileries to be cleared, which was ruthlessly effected, although that part of the buiidinc was occupied by some of their tired and sieepy companions, seeking a few hours rest. After walking the parrnpets of the Capitol, rifle on one shoulder, leaping fences, knock- ig down sentinels, turning asiiie indignant bayonets, hanging like monkeys from the out er edges of tiie dome, soir.c two hundred feet above the firm set earth, to everybody's hor ror, they haw been brought up with a round turn by an old gentleman at the other end of the avenue, named Winfield Scott, speaking through a quiet gentleman in charge of the Capitol, Major McDowell, U S. A. These Tureo men of our time, these red shifted pa triots so indifferent to nil otlier appeals, have at last been conquered, and to day order reigns in Warsaw. What mighty magic has pro duccd this change few can know, but I suspect they have been promised a stenruboad ride some pleasent May morning to Mount er non, with a slight intimation tliat they may stop at Alexandria on tiieir way for refresh ments. It is astonishing how mild these Zoua ves have become since their treaty with Gen eral Scott. TRAITORS RT'T TO DEATH —A letter from a member of the Seventh Regiment to his father dated Washington, 28th April, states that the regiment on that morning received an ad dition of one hundred and seventy-five men from New York, all in goood health a::d spirits. The writer says : " Six Secessionists were caught yesterday in treasonable acts.and two were shot this morning,at the Navy Yard. One is to be shot tomorrow morning, lie was in the employment of tlie Ordnance De partment, and had been set to work filling bombs, but, instead of charging them with powder, he put sand in tliein. Several men have been arrested for tearing up the track of the raiiroad, and they will be summarily dealt with." A private letter from Annapolis, April 28, sny-i : " And now to give you an example of the punishment traitors receive, we can see fiom where I am writing, about two miles from shore, on the yard arm of the United States brig Caledonia, /wo men hanging —one for smuggling provisions and powder to the rebels at Charleston, the other for piloting the Seventh Regiment on the Chesapeake bar,with the intention that tlie Biltimoreaus might get possession of Annapolis before the Seveuth could land, lie was not quite sharp enough for the boys.
