BALTIMORE, Satori'ay May 19. Three merchants of this city, Jcroma A. Penndergast, James Whiteford and George McGowan, were arrested this morning, charg ed with riotous conduct in obstructing the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, or. the 19th of April, whilst the Massachusetts troops were tn route to Washington. They are imdjer indictment by the Graud Jury. They were admitted to bail. The New York Eighth Regiment left the Relay House for Washington, this morning. FROM HARPER'S FERRY. ANXAT-OLTS, May 17. Parties direct from Harper's Ferry say there are only about 4,000 troops there, and that many Unionists were among them, who were induced to enlist by a false report of an other John Brown raid being projected at Harper's Ferry. One object of the scattering of the Confed erate troops in so many counties of Virginia it to make sure of a Secession majority by their votes on the election of the 23d. TROOPS INSULTED IN BALTIMORE. The statement made bv some of the Balti more papers, that all the troops recently pass ing through Baltimore havo not been molested nor insulted, is incorrect. Ringgold's Artille ry was grossly insulted nearly all tho way through the streets, but no offensive attack was made upon them. Tho commanding offi cer restrained his men from inflicting a de served chastisement upon the insulting fellows who thronged the sidewalks. ARREST OF A SPY. WASHINGTON, May ID. A spy named Wood was arrested to-day, and placed in close confinement. Ha is from Newark, N. J. Last evening he called upon Gen. Scott, and professed to toll him what was going on among the rebels of Virginia, lie then applied to the General for money to pay his expenses while on a scouting expedi tion in Virginia. Gen. Scott gave him thirty dollars, apd he left, ostensibly to obtain infor mation. This morning he visited the New Jersey regiments, and was reported as endeav oring to tamper with the troops, endeavoring to persuade them to leave the service of the Government. Ho was thereupon arrested, and stands a fair chance of being hung as a spy and a traitor. SPECIAL DISPATCH FROM WASH INGTON. WASHINGTON, May 17. It is ascertained beyond cavil that the re port of the desecration of the Tomb of WASH INGTON', and the removal of the remains, is wholly untrue. The Government has this frem a reliable messenger, who visited .Mount Vernon and returned today. He found eve rything unmolested, and Mount Vernon in its csual quiet condition. There was no indica tion about the Tomb of its having been mo lested, and the messenger was not interfered with nor questioned—seeing only the keeper of the place and the servants who usually wan der about the grounds. A letter from Col. Lee to a gentleman in this city, which has been shown to a member of the Cabinet, says that the whole statement of the removal, or any such intention, is without tho slightest foundation. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. lIAKKISSCKG, Saturday, May 18. Gov. Curtin left bore this morning, accom panied by his staff, to review the troops at Chambersburg. A. N. Meylert, of Luzerne, E. M. Dana, Cov. Geary, and Gcu. Wra. F. Small, are ap plicants for the two Brigadier-Generalships. An impression prevails here that there is nine to b appointed not a graduate of West Point, in addition to having seen actual service. ANOTHER CAPTURE OF SECESSION ISTS. ST. LOUIS, Friday, May 17. Several Unicn men having been driven from Potosi, on the Iron Mountain railroad, a de tachment of volunteers, under command of Capt. Cole, was sent on Tuesday night to pro tect the loyal citizens in that section. Capt. Cole reached Potosi at 3 o'clock this morning, aud surrounded the town with a chain of sentinels, and shortly after daylight a hundred and fifty citizens were taken prison ers and formed in a line. The Union men were recognized and releas ed. About fifty Secessionists were liberated on parole, and nine of the leaders brought to the city prisoners of war. A lead manufactory belonging to John Dean was taken possession of and some four huu dred pigs of lead seized. On the return trip, the troops dispersed a company of cavalry at Do Soto, and captured thirty horses they left behind in their flight. The Stars and Stripes were then hoisted on a pole just ready to receive a Secession flag. Auother prominent Secessionist was arrested here, and another at Victoria, making twelve in all, who are now in the arsenal. Thirteen American families arrived here last night, having all been driven from differ ent towns on the Pacific railroad for support ing the Union. Gen. Prico has issued orders instructing the Brigadier-Generals to immediately organ let the militia of their respective Districts and bold them in rtadiniss for active service. The officers and soldiers are strictly enjoined to af ford all the protection in their power to the persons and property of the citizens of the State, without reference to political principles, the organization being simply to protect the people in thejr rights under the Con stitution of the State, and the United States troope are warned to avoid collision with any armed bodies, uuless absolutely re paired to protect the lives, liberty, and prop erty of the people Tle flag of the State of Missouri is the only ono to be used by the' militia. Nearly 900 Irishmen bare been enrolled in the United Slates service here, and will probably be organised iato a separate regi ment. TIIE NEWS FROM THE SOUTH. The dispatches from the South that the re bels are nearly completing an arrangement for an attack on Washington, is not believed.— The Government has, however, received such information from secret agents in the South, but it is presumed that they have been made to believe these things by the leaders to de ceive their own people at honie.aud to draw the attention of the Government here from points in Virginia to Washington. Gen. SCOTT will, however, protect Washington, without aban doning his plans of operation at other points Three companies have been stationed at the Long Bridge the past two nights—one on the "Virginia side, one near the d<>w, and oae on the Washington side. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. * For the past few days, though there have been ailoat hardly even rumors of war, yet an oppressive anticipation of something im portant about to happen, a hush of expecta tion, and a repressed excitement, have been observed and felt by all. The latest Southern paper show that in the country of the Rebels there is a similar looking and waiting, except that with them, in spite of their boasting, there seems to be present a foreboading of coming overthrow. This morniug we have, however, intelligence of a stirring character. It appears that the rebels havo for some time beeu occupied in putting up offensive woiksat Sewali's Point, opposite Fortress Monroe. Accounts vary somewhat as to the mannar and the details of the attack upon the works, but the most trustworthy statements runs thus: On Saturday afternoon the steam er Star discovered a battery at Sewall's Point, mounting two guns. The Star opened fire and soon silenced one gun. Shortly after, the Thomas Freeborn, Capt. Cash, came on the ground, and being of light draught, at once upset the remaining gun. The saiue vessel, seeing a knot of Secessionists standing to gether near the dismounted battery, threw a shot into the group, the members of which scattered speedily. Tho engagement occupied three hours and more, at the end of which tima the offensive work was throroughly de molished. On Sunday night the Thomas Freeborn, cruising iu the Potomac, captured two suspi cious schooners, one of which contained thirty rebels. The prizes and prisoners were taken to the Navy-Yard. Important news comes from another point. On Sunday a body of 1,000 Virginians and South Carohnans from Harper's Ferry took a position on the Virginia side, opposite Will iamsport, a town about seven miles from Ila gerstown, Md. They there were in a situation to commaud the ferry at that spot, and were expecting on Monday to be joined by another body of nine thousand men with cannon. Gen. Butler, it is understood, has orders to proceed at once to active movements forward into Virginia, and will directly remove the ob structions in Norfolk Harbor. Gov. Letcher has met with a loss. He had caused to be made for his particular study oc curate military maps of Virginia. These hav ing been finished at Washington,were 011 their way to the Governor when they were seized by order of the War Department. We have two reports of Mississippi troops, which may refer to only one movement. It is said that on Sunday 1,100 of them left Rich mond, under Captain Barksdale, for Harper's Ferry. Also, that 2,000 Mississippians reach ed Harper's Ferry on Sunday. It is reported that the small-pox ha 3 broken out at the lat ter place. From Texas we learn that fears are enter tained of an attack upon the banks of the Rio Grande by Cortina. It is said that he is inov ing with a large force upon tho river,and thut he receives largo accessions. Yesterday, by a bold stroke, the Govern ment obtained possession of most invaluable documentary evidence against the sympathiz ers with treason in the North. At a given hour the officers of the law swooped down up on every considerable telegraph office in the Free States, and seized the accumulated manu script dispatches of a twelvemonth. The re sult is that the Government eau now trace the secret operations of the Rebels and their aiders and abettors, and henceforth hold the North ern enemies of the Republic at its mercy. There i 3 a report of an attack by the Seces sionists on a Government steamer at the mouth of the Potomac, and that in the conflict four United States troops were killed. The re port is denied, and it is not now known what foundation there is for it. The Governor of Kentucky has issued a proclamation forbidding the movement of Federal or Rebel troops oa the soil of his State. THE TRAITORS of Maryland, Kentucky, Vir ginia and Missouri, if not of North Carolina and Tennessee, will have their hands full at home. Western Virginia is a unit against re bellion; and, should the eastern portion of the state venture upon active measures against the government, a new state will be created, and volunteers euough take the field to hold the rebels in check. Kentucky is even more evenly divided. A1 ready three full regiments have taken the fieid for the Union, and When Col. Anderson shall tuKe his place at the head of " The Hunters " of his native State, an army strong enough to speedily crush out trcasou Iron its borders will make its appearance. In Missouri, ten thousand Union volunteers are already enrolled; and in less than ten days the loyal men of that state will show them selves too formidable to be attacked. Maryland has almost entirely recovered from her rebellions spasm. The true men of the state are bold and ready. They cannot be put down. Already our troops pass "through Bal timore" undisturbed; and in a fortnight not a traitor will show his head except through a halter. Of North Carolina and Tennessee we know less, and expect less They may "go with the multitude to do evil." But there will very soon be developed too 6trong a Union senti ment in both states to render safs a very for midable contribution of troops to the rebel confederacy for aggressive service. On the part of the leaders of the rebellion, the war is to be conducted on the principle of" bluster and brag. It is by these agencies that the south has fought all her battles and acb ev ed all her victories during tho last thirty years. Bat other weapons moat.be osed io this war sUporto. E. O. GOODRICH. mr-rnrrv R. IV. STURROC K, t.OUUHA. TOWANDAT Thursday Morning, May 23, 1861. THE BRADFORD VOLUNTEERS. Wc notice that a portion of the press of the State is indulging in disparaging remarks con cerning the action of Bradford county, in fur nishing Volunteers for the defence of our Coun try's flag. We notice particularly that those papers which seemingly take the greatest pleas ure in this unwarranted defamation, are those who needed the exhibition of public feeling to develop their patriotism. Newspapers which have provc&ed public indignation, and been threatened with the public wrath, for their treasonable publications, arc the most ready, of course, to find fault with others, for being backward in answering the call for troops. Wc shall not attempt to vindicate the pa triotism and courage of onr people. It would be a sufficient answer to the ill-natured and un called for remarks indulged in by sonic of tiio democratic papers, to point to the fact that there arc now in Camp Curtin five Companies from Bradford,imploring in vain to be accepted for the war—that ether companies have been organized here, and ready to march, which have been disbanded, because it was officially announced that they would not be accepted. Tbi3 County was not the first to tender aid to the Government, we are free to admit, be cause it is strictly an agricultural county, and we have no men idle or out of employment.— When treason ripened into open war, wc had not a single Military Company in the County -—and very few men with military ex|>crience. It took some days for the news of the Rebellion to penetrate the county thoroughly, and to ar ouse the peoplo to realize the supposed danger to the Capital. A public meeting was called for the 23d of April, which was one of the largest and most enthusiastic gatherings ever held in this county. Oa that day, three Com panies were enlisted, and organized, and the next morning started for Ilarrisburg. At Troy they were met with orders not to come on, and staid there a week, before they could get permission to move towards Ilarrisburg. When started, they were met at Sunbury, with orders to stop—but finally after another day's delay, succeeded in reaching Camp Curtiu.— The delays and vexations to which they were subjected, would have discouraged and dispirit ed men less anxious to serve their country.— Since then two other companies have gone on, without waiting for orders, and the five compa nies are now laying in Camp Curtin. The three companies organized at this place, volunteered with tiie understanding that the terra of their service was to be three months. After arriving at Camp Curtin, they ascertain ed that they would not be accepted uuder the three months' requisition. A portion declin ed to voluuteer for the three years time, ar.d returned home. We do not see that any par ticular blame attaches to them, because when tjiey went away, they only made arrangements for a three months' absence. Officers carnc back, issued a call for volunteers to Gil up the Companies, and ia tiiirty six hours started back with the desired number of iuen. We understand that we have already more men at liarrisborg than the Military Author ities think Bradford should furnish, and more than they have apportioned to her. We in sist that not a man shall be sent back. Un der the circumstances wo have a right to de mand that the five companies shall he accept ed. For the basest political purposes the cour age and patriotism of this County have been falsely assailed. While so many men here, are asking to he allowed to serve their country, the authorities have no right to ailow our fair fame to he tarnished. The prompt acceptance of those already waiting to be mustered into ser vice, is a simple act of justice. We trust that those papers which desire to do us justice will place us right before their readers. We cannot expect anything from those whose flimsy veil of patriotism fails to cloak the rancor of partisan prejudices. S©" The Virginia Secessionists, apparently are endeavoring to outdo all their confreres in the nature and magnitude of the outrages they commit upon Northerners. A telegram from Boston announces the arrival there, on board the steatn gunboat Pembroke, from Fortress Monroe, of C'apt. CHAS. GAI.E, of the hark D. C. Price, belonging in Cleveland, Ohio, and Capt. JOHNSON, of the hark Ida, belonging in Boston. The former reports that his vessel was sunk by the rebels at Norfolk on the sth inst., and besides losing his vessel, her cargo, and $3,000 in specie, in all valued at $75,000 lie was thrown into prison and kept there sev eral days. He finally made his escape with nine other persons, including his daughter, in a small boat, and reached the steam frigate Minnesota. Capt. JOHNSON reports that his bark, the Ida, was wrecked near Cape Henry, and that, having saved the cargo and rigging and shipped it to Norfolk, he was then robbed of everything he possessed and imprisoned several days. THEIR CERTAIV FATE. —Should this great rebellion be crushed out, as is now probable, a terrible retribution awaits Jeff. Davis, Cobb, Wigfall, Toombs and their confederates in treason. Their followers may allowed the de gree of mercy which the extenuating circura stances of iheircase may justly claim, bot noth ing short of the baiter will be given to these arch conspirators against the government. ; REPORT OP THE ADJUTANT GENERAL. We find in the Harrisburg Telegraph, the fport of Adjutant General BIDDLE. of this State, giving a list of companies of Peunsylva nia that hare been sworn into the service of the United States, and also the number of com panies offering but not accepted. By this re port it appears that some two hundred and eighty-three companies had offered their ser vices bat were not accented, owing to the fact that the requisition for troops had been filled before any of these companies had tendered their services. These companies, it is expect ed, will maintain their orgairzation in the mean time, and hold themselves in readiness for any emergency that may arise in the future, 'lhis large surplus force is an illustration of the de volion of the peoplo of Pennsylvania to the cause of the Union, and may be taken as an earnest of what they intend to do when the conflict for law and order is once fully organ ized. It must be boruc iti mind that the ten der cf so large a force was made in the short space cf two weeks, and that the premtory or der to receive ho more troops, alone put an end to the coatributiou of soldiers from Penn sylvania. We have no doubt, whatever, that were it necessary, Pennsylvania conld arm and equip aud place in the field for active service, a hundred thousand men before the first of June. She has the means and the musletodo this, and the patriotism tc prompt both to the most enthusiastic action. STATE LEGISLATURE. —The extra session of the Legislature has adjourned. The business was confined exclusively to subjects connect ed with the present condition of the country. Bills I'assed. —The "Stay Law," or bill to prevent the sacrifice of the property by forced sales in the collection of debts, passed finally witii various amendments. The law will be found in our paper to-day. The bill authorizing a loan of $3,000,000, for raising and maintaining 15 regiments of Volunteers for the service of of the State, in addition to the 1G regiments already in the service of the United States, passed by an unanimous vote. Also, a bill to provide sta tionery, postago stamps, Ac., for the United States. The bill to incorporate a Volunteer Nurse corps of women, for the military hos pital, passed both Houses, aud was signed by the Governor. LATEST Washington dispatches give stil! further indications that we aro on the eve of movements of a highly important charac ter. Immense bodies of troops are to be trans ported to Fortress Monroe with the least pos sible delay, including the entire cpiota from Massachusett, and a number of regiments from Mew-York. The Massachusetts Fifth have already received their orders, and will go by the wav of Annapolis. The troops from the Old Bay State, now at the scat cf war, are all expected by Gen. BUTLER to be i:i the Fortress before Thursday night. Tiiey arc of course, much gratified at being placed under his command. Gen BUTLER will repair to the Fortress immediately—probably to-dev and will establish bis headquarters there, as commander of the Military Department of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.— It seems to be doubtful now whether any at tempt to retake Harper's Ferry will be made immediately. There is now LO longer any danger of a descent upon the Capital from that direction, and the rebel troops now there will probably do as little damage to the cause of the Union there as any where. Their pro ceeeings, at any rate, are not calculated to impress their neighbors in Maryland favorably towards them. WHO ARE LIABLE TO MILITARY DUTY —In reference to the performance of military duty, the act of Congress provides that aii able bod ied white male citizens of the United States, between the age of 13 and 45 years, arc liable to perform military duty, and exempts there from the Vice President of the United States, the judicial and executive officers of the gov ernment of the same, the members of both Houses of Cougress, and their respective ofii cers, all revenue officers and their clerks, post masters, stage drivers, and others connected with the mail service, ferrymen employed at a ferry on any post load, inspectors, pilots, ma riners actually employed, aud ail ministers of the gospel and magistrates. ftaT" A dispatch from Chambersbnrg.Penn., announces the arrival there of another deser ter from the rebel forces at Harper's Ferry.— He reports that up to Thursday night last, there were but twelve pieces of cannon there, all told. Provisions were scarce, and the troops were supplying themselves as best they could, by making incursions into Maryland, and robbing the farmers. Such depredations were of daily occurrence. The dispatch also mentions the fact of the arrival there, dai!v,of Unionists, driven out of Virginia. JSST The Montgomery Advertiser , which is recognized as the "o:gan" of JEFF. DAVIS' Government, announces that the Confederates have deoided to remove their Oipital to Rich mond. It does not intimate, however, when the removal is to take place. According to present indications they had better be in a hur ry about it, or they will be likely, to be as completely forestalled as they were in their projected movement against Washington. Kg" Rev. Mr. Beattie, of the Bethel, at Cleveland, Ohio, presented a revolver to one of the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment, be fore his departure, with the following injunc tion : If you get in a tight place and have to use it, ask God's blessing, if you have time, but be sure and not let your enemy get the best of yon.
