W ashington, Friday, May 31, ISGI. At noon to-day, when the Keystone Stater an unarmed transport, passed Acqnia Creek, the Freeborn and Anacosta ware engaging, and bad almost silenced tho battery there, consisting of six puns, manned by 000 pen.— On receipt of the intelligence, the Paw Dee was seat down, and tho Yankee ordered to stop en her way to Gen. Butler with dispatches end assistance. The Poachontos took the Pawnee's place at Alexandria. Tho Pawnee draws to much water to get tyithin less than two mills of the battery,at which distance her gnus would not be very effective. Cap. Ward of the Freeborn was down the river to stop smuggling. The Pocahontas was sent to help him He has been itching for a •fight, aud made the attack on his own respon sibility. Capt. Trenchard, cf the Keystone State, sow st the Navy-Yard, makes the following statement : On onr way from Old Poiht to Washington, •with dispatches, &e., at noon, we came with in sight of Acqnia Creek, where we found the Freeborn and Anacosta hotly engagei with the batteries, One of which was near ihewarf, and ono in the valley, a mile from the water. The I a tcry near the wharf was sorn silenced l>y the puns of the vessels, and that in the vaiiey, which, when we first saw it, was most a3tivp, although its shot fell short of the ves -sels, appeared to have been partially silenced before wc got out of sight. The vessels, so far as we could see, were entirely uninjured. They were under way, and changing position from time to time, with the view of selecting the best points of attack. We were at no time uearer than two miles from the vessels, which were, perhaps, three quarters of a mile from the landing, and about a buudred yards from each other Since we arrived, the Pawnee and Pocahontas have teen sent down to participate in the attack. The Baltimore and Philadelphia and Phil adelphia City ice boats are lying with steam tp et the Navy-Yard, ready to take on board tbe Hot Regiment, which is under marching order at a moment's warning. AH on the Keystone State were crazy for the fight, but, unfortunately, her .draught of water was so great ss to prevent them from participating in the engagement, much to tiieir moriflca- Ticn. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE MEN . It is underload tc-dnj that Gov. BAKES' plans for increasing the Army, by an increase of one hundred thousand men, will he adopted. It is reported that the President has already begun, with Mr. CaMZP.OKand Gen. SCOTT, to arrange the quotas of these men from the sev eral States. Tho report that Gen. BUTLER was to be ordered back to Annapolis, was without foun dation. There wa3 a grand parade and review of the New York First, Ninth, Fourteenth and Gar ibaldi Guards. The line was formed on the Avenue, and gave a marching salute to the President, Gen. SCOTT, Gen. BAKES and Secre taries SEWARD and CAMKBOK. It is alsiost un necessary to say that tbe regiments made a grand display. THE SECOND ATTACK ON TIIE AQUIA CREEK BATTERIES. WASHINGTON, Sunday, June 2. From a messenger direct this morning at 10 o'clock from Aquia Creek, by the steamer An- Gaista, the following facts are obtained rela tive to the contest yesterday at Aqu<a Creek : The engagement commenced on Friday, as heretofore stated, and lasted two hours. Yesterday (Saturday) it was renewed, and continued twice that length of time. The lower, cr beach battery, which had been so essential Iy damaged the day previous, had, in the meantime, been repaired by the Confederates, in force, it is supposed, two thousand strong. The Frctlorn yesterday approached to with in abolit two raiies from the shore, early in the jtfternoen, and fired four or Gve shots, when the-Pawnee entered into the conflict, taking a position nearer to the laud. For the first two hours, the fire from tho shore batteries was very brisk, but was returned with more ex pedition by the FAwv.ce. During the engage ment, she fired 100 shells, oce of which was seen to explode immediately over the heads of tbe Confederates who were working the bat tery. The observer, through a telescope, saw numbers of bodies of them carried away on wagons. During that time the shore movements were exceedingly brisk. The Freeborn lodged three shells in succession in the beach battery, per ceptibly damaging the works, which had the effect of greatly diminishing the fire. The Freeborn received two shot,one of which passed through the cabin, damaging some of the croekery, but not the vessel/except making a passage through the bulwarks of siight conse quence. The Pawnee received eigiit or nine shot, but all too high to inflict much damage. One struck her maintopsail yard, which was thereby mashing ; another grazed the mizzen masthead ted passed through the hammock nettings. It is the opinion of thg officers O;J board, that had the rebels been provided with pood gunners, the vessels might probably have been sank. Some of the Confederates' shots passed over the masthead to the Maryland shore. The Ana cost a retnrncd here this morning. The Paicna and Freeborn hauled off beyond the range -of the enemy's fire. The Yankee, which went down on Friday with dispatches, fired a few shots only, she not being prepared for n, long contest. The railroad depot and building 3 oa the shore at Aquia Creek are ail destroyed. The damage to the beach battery is not consider ed permanent, as the Confederates can toon repair it. It is safe to say tbat at least tea or twelve were killed on the part of Ika Confederates, bat is not known how many were wounded. All the officers engaged in the fight concur in iho opinion tlmt the Confederates have rifl ed eannos, perhaprrfCTPfffl, in all it i suppos ed aWosi eight gij 6s. •.... * : - • • 0 *" •<<-• REPORTS FROM CAIRO. Cxir.o, 111., Sunday, June 2. There is nothing authentic i relation to a movement down the river from this point, but it ie certain that the force at this point is to be considerably increased. Two additional regi ments are ordered here in addition to a regi ment organized in this. Congressional District Another Company of Illinois Artillery, now j at Springfield, is under marching orders, and i will move in a day or two. The Government has chartered the big wharf strainer that lies here. It is capable of conveying several thou sand troops ar.tl stores. It is understood, also that the Government has chartered twenty five l iver steamers at St. Louis. A-SHIILAiiSiI AT WILL A .MS P 0 RT, AID. llagertown, Md., Saturday, June 1. This morning the secession forces attempted to take possession of the ferry boat lying o|>- posite Williamsport, for the purpose, as is con jectured, of removing into " Falling Waters," i a point four mile below where there is a con | siderabie number of secession troops stationed who doubtless intended by means of the boat to cross to tho Maryland side on a marauding I expedition. The Union company at Williamsport,as soon as they observed the opposite party possessing themselves ef the boat, ordered th.ra to desist which they refused to do,whereupon the Union guns opened fire upon them, which was return ! Ed, and a brisk fire kept up on both sides for about un hour. Three or four Secessionists were wounded, one seriously. None killed or : wounded ou this side. Upon the commencement of hostilities the ! boat was deserted by the Secessionists, and remains safely at its moorings. It is reported that the attempt to take it will be renewed to night. The river will be | closeiy watched by the Union Guards, who have been reinforced by a company from Clear 1 Spring. The Union company from Sharps lurgh is on its way to William-port with one 1 or two field pieces. FROM WASIIINGTOX. Washington, Thursday, May 30.1361. One of the events to day was the opening of the bids for tiio supplying cattle on the I hoof, for the use of the army. It was a de- I parture from the general rule for the War 1 Department to open bids in public, and to read them off for '.he information of curious ; spectators. There were about one hundred | and fifty bids put in, but some of them cm braced conditions which rendered it necessary that, they should be rejected. The bids ranged from $3 90 to $3 per one huLdred pounds. The lowest bidder was fund to Mr. Hugh , Maher, of Chicago, 111, who offered to fur nish whatever was [called for at that rate of $3 90 per hundred, delivered at llarrisburg, | and $4 30 delivered at Washington. There was a bid to deliver at Washington at $4 43, : but the everage of Mr. Maker's bid is lower than that. It is probable that the bulk of the number to be delivered under this lei ting : will be called for at Hrrisburg. Mr. Maher | is known to be responsible, and the contract will, doubtless, be awarded to him. At the 1 rate offered, it seems to be cheaper to feed ;be troops on fresh beef than on salt. the Mcdonald habeas corpus CASE. Kr. Louis, Friday, May 31, 1 61. } When the McDonald habeas corpus case : came up this moi oing in the United States District Court, Gen. Ilarcey made the return that Capt. McDonald had been removed to | Iliincis, and was now in the military command | of Gen. McClelian; that he had never had the • body of the prisoner under his control, conse quently he was unable to produce him. Gen. Harney further stated that by orders from | Washington dated may 10, but only received j yesterday, he had been removed from the ccm ! mand of this Department. It is understood that Gen. Lyon succeeds , Gen. Harney. The Democrat denies that Col. Blair's Ecgi ; meat is ordered to Virginia. j ACTIVITY OF UNIONISTS IN MIS SOUR I. Warsaw, Mo., Friday, May 13.1861, The Union men from Pettis, Henry, Benton I and Morgan Couuties,numbering some 700, or j gunized seven companies near Camp Cole in | this county on Tuesday last, ar.d threaten death to every Secessionist in the Osage Val ley. They have sent an agent to General ; Harney for arms. Great excitement exists ! here. AFFAIRS IN BALTIMORE. Two large colnnabiads lately shipped from i Pittsburg to Fort Mcllenry, were spiked by the Secessionists in the streets of Baltimore, and it was not discovered until they had been f mounted in the Fort. i A party cf rowdies left Baltimore on i Thursday night, to go to Federal Iliil and kill | some cf the picket-guard there, but in place of killing them, the guard shot three and the rest j fled. I Fifty Knights of the Golden Circle and a 5 Lieutenant, who have been stationed at Ilar ! per's Ferry, were in Baltimore on Thursday, | and made arrangements for a grand secret plot ; to again take possession of Baltimore. That city has been utterly demoralized since Gen. Cadwalladcr has had possession of It, and ; where there were forty Ur.ion flags flying ; when he entered, there is not one now. There has been a great deal of dissatisfac tion in the Massachusetts camp at the Relay 1 House, arising froai the unmilitary conduct of Brig.-Gen. Jone?. He was burnt in c-fligy at their camp the other evening. Brig. Gen. Pierce will supercede Gen. Jor.es, and the lat ter will go to Fortress Monroe. AFFAIRS AT FORTRESS MONROE. From a visitor to Fort Monroe we have the following particulars : Four hundred slaves had fled and taken refuge in Fort Monroe and Newport News. One planter by the name of Parrish, offered, 011 condition of his being allowed to leave his plantation and go to Richmond with his family, to free his slaves, to the number of thirty five, and actu ally did place the papers in the hands of the Lieutenant, who was scat with a squad to af ford him protection until he departed. The inhabitants have the utmost fear of the troops, and dare not leave their homes un lees by permission of the Colonel commanding. There are numerous batteries in course of erection along the James, Elizabeth and York Rivers, but they cannot effect any damage to the vessels on the river, as the range is too long. Several of the Old Dominion dragoonß, armed, equipped and uniformed, as the law of Virginia directs, have been taken by the Ver mont .Raiment, end nmda prisoners of war. i •• .. % W* . • E. O GOODRICH. ) rnrTnß v K. IF. STURIiUCK ,f EDITORS. ' Bit ■ —W~ — TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, June 6, 1861. DEATH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS. Hon. STEPHEN A. DOCGLAS died at Chicago, 111., on the 3d inst. His remains are to be takeu to Washington for interment. SOUTHERN MAILS STOPPED. The l'ostmaster General has directed the tuaiis to nli the Southern Stales which hare i adopted secession ordinances to be stopped, so 1 that hereafter there can be no regular postal ■ communication between the North and South. I With reference to the action of the Southern government on this subject the Boston Post says:—The Confederate usurpation, having at last got their own postal service arranged, are 1 resolved no longer to endure the outrage of j letting the U. S- Government bear the expense of carrying their letters for them. Mr. Ileagan, their Postmaster General, has issued a procla ' mation suspending and prohibiting the opera tions of the Post Office Department of the United States within the limits of the Confed erate States, after the thirty-first day of May. Postmasters are forbidden to collect postage j on mail matter sent to or received from the , United States until a postal treaty shall be j made by this Government with the Southern ] Confederacy, and, until postage stamps and stamped envelopes are furnished, all mail mat | ter i.s required to be paid for in money. Five | ceiiTs shall be charged for every single letter conveyed a distance of less than five hundred | miles within the limits of the Confederacy, and j for any distance exceeding that point double j that rate. Uncle Sam is shoved off without so much as a vote of thanks for having per : formed this service lor the last three or four j months. If postmasters are forbidden to col lect postage on mail matter sent to or received from the United States until a postal treaty is made, how are the Confederate insurgents to ' keep up their correspondence with Europe when their own ports are blockaded ? S:IESCE AIDING TIIC WAR. —The excellent uses to which NAPOLEON I If. put the magnet ic telegraph am) of the balloon during his cam paign in Italv are matters of history. Both these energies, we ate glad to see, are to bo brought into requisition by our own War De partment, besides another and most valuable auxiliary for reconnoitering the enemy at . . . night—the calcium light, which is already in ' use at Fortress Monroe. A telegraph lias been erected between tiie head-quarters of the Army at Washington and Arlington Heights, Iso that there is likely to be no reception of the causeless alarm and its mbseqnent confu ! sion which occurred in the army on the night j following tiie occupation of Alexandria. As j tiie efficiency of tiie army depends in great measure upon giving it rest when not actually in motion, every precaution which will guard | against surprise must be of great advantage in conducting the war. Tiie solditr should | never lie down to his rest under apprehension that he may be suddenly called to arms by the j " enemy driving in the pickets." A telegraph strung upon poles in the ordinary way is well ! enough where permanent communication is to be maintained, but for the nse of the Army while actually in the field, this will be found wholly impracticable on account of the time and large force required for putting, it in op eration. Modern invention lias supplied a insulated telegraphic wire, which is not larger than on ordinary bed cord, and equally as ductile, and weighing only from one | hundred to two hundred pounds to the mile. Five or ten miles of such a cord can be reeled upon an ordinary hose carriage, or, divided in to coils of a few pounds each for conveyance upon men's shoulders, can be promptly laid along a roadway, through a field or wood, ; across brooks or swampy ground, without in the least affecting its insulation. Operators accompanying the pickets with email local bat teries, will -thus establish instantaneous com. muuicatiou between any required number of the outposts and the head quarters of the army. As soon as the wires have served their purpose, they can be again coiled up for future use. SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.- —ln two of the Southern States, at least—Maryland and Kentucky—election will be held for Rep resentatives to the extra session of Congress, which will commence on the It!) of July. Gov j ernor Hicks, of Maryland,lias ordered the elec tion in thut State to be held on the loth of June ; and the proclamation of Gov. Magoffin fixes Thursday, June the 20th, as the day for the electing members of Congress in Kentucky. The Louisville Journal and other Union pa -1 pers are moving energetically in favor of thorough Union candidates. FOUR STATES ALREADY lIEJCCED. —Four Slave States have already been rescued from anarchy and destruction by the firmness and promptness displayed by the Government and the people of the North against secession and rebellion. Delaware, Maryland Missouri and Kentucky arc now vieing with each other in their devotion to the Government, the Union and the time-honored star-spangled bauner.— Western Yirginia also stands firm for the Union, and before loug we hope to record tbat Eastern Virginia has again returned to loyal ty. - The Union Convention will meet again at Wheeling on the 11th of Jone. -i - < e-jsr-: '♦ ' • ' STILL LITER JIM IRE WIS. Battle at Phillippa. Col. Kelly, of Virginia Killed.- CiNCiftMATi. Monday. Juue 3, J6CI. Two columns of troops from Gen. MCCLEL- I.AN'S command, one under command of Col. KELLY, of the First Virginia Volunteers, and the other under command of Col. CHITTENDEN, composed of the Indiana Volunteers, left Grafton early last night, nnd after marching the entile night about 20 miles through a drenching rain, surprised a camp of rebels, 2,000 strong, at Phillippa, Va , and routed them, killing 13, capturing a large amount of arms, horses, ammunition, provisions, camp equippage, Ac. The surprise was complete, and at the lust advice®, the Federal troops were in hot pursuit of the rebels. It is prob bie that many prisoners will be taken. Col KELLY was mortally wonnded, and lias since died. Several others of the Federal troops were slightly wounded. US* PROPOSAL FOR THE' $3,OOO,OOO LOAN. —Wc observe that Gov. Curlin has given no tice that proposals will be received at the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, until 3 o'clock, P. M., of the fifth of June, for the loaning to the Commonwealth the sum of three Millions of Dollars, at six percent per annum, payable semi-annually in Philadelphia, redeem able in ten years, free from all taxation for any purpose whatever. The State reserves the right to accept the whole or any part of the amount offered to be taken, unless the proposer stipulates otherwise. No conditional propo sals will be considered. Upon the acceptance of any proposals, at least ten per cent, of the amount must be paid down, the balance, if pre ferred by the bidder, in thirty and sixty days, when certificates shall issue for the same, bear ing interest from the time of payment. COMMISSIONrus APPOINTED. —The Governor lias appointed JACOD FRY, Jr., of .Montgom ery county, and BENJAMIN lIAYWOOO, of Schuylkill county, Commissioners to investi gate the facts connected with the furnishing of supplies of every kind, including clothing, &e , to the State. The appointment of these persons is a guar an'ce that the investigation will be thorough and searching. Mr. Fry has the entire confi dence of the people of this State. As Auditor Gene: al be proved himself fearless and incor ruptible. Mr. HAYWOOD aiso sustains the highest character. The public may rest ratis fied that these Commissioners have no person al partialities which will deter them from, ex posing the truth in relation to the frauds up on tiie Slate. SIIASIKITI. TREATMENT OF THE TROOPS AT LANCASTEP.. —The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Regiments of the Pennsylvania troops encamp ed near Lancaster, are almost in a state of in subordination consequent upon the shocking condition of the commissary department. The authorities hare demaned a retorm. Much cl the pork is rancid or putresent, nnd the sup ply of bread insufficient. For supper on Thurs day night a company of seventy-four men had only fourteen pounds of bread, and the pork furnished them being unfit to eat was thrown away. TREASON IN VIRGINIA. —Judge Lyons, of Virginia, in a recent charge to a grand jury at Richmond, gave the following definition of treason: " Any citizen ot "resident of Virginia, who now adheres to the United States, giving the government thereof or its officers aid or com fort, is guilty of treason. Furnishing inform ation or intelligence, money, arms, ammuni tion, provisions, or any other assistance, wheth er gratuitously or for reward, is giving aid, and therefore committing treason. Even the attempt to do any of these things, though un successful, will make a man guilty of treason." Senator Mason advocates the expulsion from the State of Virginia of all those who do not vote in favor of Seces.-ion; he will not even let those remain who do not vote at all, claim ing that all who are not with theiu arc against them. "THE FLAGGED ARMY OK PENNSYLVANIA." — Such, it seems, is tiie soubriquet that our vol unteers have gained in Washington. These men, who left their homes, their families und their business, to tight their country's battles and protect it in its hour of danger, have been rewarded by equipment in such trashy clothes that they are ashamed to- show themselves, while the splendidly equipped regiments of Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island are paraded, reviewed and admired. If, from a mistaken economy, we had been disposed to stint their supplies, we should have only our selves to blame; but we have spent money lib erally, and paid encngh to make them in every way comfortable—with what effect every one knows, and every day brings new confirmation of the statements as first received. We learn from the testimony of a friend who visited the camp at York, that when one of their coats was being tried on by a soldier, the. buck drop ped out! So fur, what we have contributed ha- not been for the benefit of the soldiers, but of the sharks who have influence at Harris burg. We regret to say it, but we are forced to the conclusion that our State is in bad bands. Corruption is the order of the day at the State Capitol. The people of Pennsylvania demand that those who have had a iiand in the swindle shall be fcrretted out and punish ed. No man who has a relative or a friend amongst the spldiera who ore now suffering bv the frauds, should rest until the perpetrators are brought to condign punishment.— Venn sylcania Enquirer. 16?- SAMUEL A.

BURYING THE AMERICAN FLAG. — At Mem phis, Tenn., a week or so ago, a Inrgc Ameri can ilag was procured, enclosed in a coffin borne on a bier by eight men, and formally buried. The fnueral was preceded by a band of music playing the dead march, and was at tended by about 600 Secessionists. The grave was dug alongside of a statue of Gen. Jackson in one of the public squares, inlo which the flag was lowered. The earth wus then thrown upon the stars and stripes, the grave filled up, and the procession returned peacefully to their homes. The very same evening, there arose one of the most violent gales of wind ever witnessed in Memphis, nnd every secession flag in the city was blown down. Singular to relate a very large secession flag which was suspend ed near th • grave was blown away from the staff ai.d carried by the wind to the newlv fill ed up pit, where it was deposited and left to souk in the rain and mud,an appropriate holo caust to the departed great. The anger ol heaven was thus unequivocally expressed at the infamous desecration of our honored banner.— \v hat is the next form in which Southern in sanity will diplay itself ? JEtST* A treaty of peace has been negotiated and signed between Gen. Harney, on the part of the United States, and Genearl Sterling I'rice, commander ol the State troops of Mis sori. the stipulations of wnich are that the secession forces are to be immediately disband ed, the freedom of speech and the protection of persons awl property is gnarenteed, and the United States forces are to be used to the accomplishment of that end, whenever they may be called upon to do so by the civil au thorities.
