Threatened Invasion of Washington.
DISASTER AT VIENNA.
A BLUNDER OF TIIE REBELS.
W ABHIXCTON, Juns, 13.
By a blunder, the rebels failed to destroy
6<Jme fifty locomotives belonging to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company. The loco
motives were at Martinsburgh. Gen. JOHNSTON
sent a force to Martinsburgh to bring down
the engines and destroy the bridges. The
Captain, in his zml, thought ho would make
a sure thing of it by burning the bridges as he
went tip, and was somewhat surprised to find
on his return that lie had cut off his return.
Five thousand troops came into Washington
to-day, and five thousand more will be in to
morrow. In addition to th"se, ten thousand
more OTO under orders to come to Washington
•ud will be here by Sonday night.
THE FIGHT AT F.DWARDS' FERRY.
Three hundred Federal troops, under Oapt.
GARDNER, of the Pennsylvania First Regiment
liad a skirmish yesterday evening at Edwards'
Ferry, with a considerable force of Secession
ists. The fight lasted nearly three hours, when
the rebels fled, having had fifteen to twenty
of theif number killed and wounded. One
private in Capt. GARDNER'S command was kill
ed, and three or four were wounded slightly.
The fight occurred from across tiie river. The
attack was made by the enemy, with a view of
taking possession of the Ferry. This news is
brought to Washington by Capt. GARDNER'S
First Lieutenant, who was engaged in the ac |
lion.
The Rhode Island First left Waynesboro, i
on Monday, at C A. M., and marched thirty- s
four miles in fourteen hours ; arrived nt Fred
erick, at BP. M. One of their vivandieres
marched the whole distance,bearing an Ameri
can flag They took two secession flags en route ;
snd were cheered all along the march. At !
Frederick City they met with every hospitality '
from citizens and the Home Guards there.— j
Tliey arrested one noisy Secessionist, and left
him in charge of the authorities. From Fred
crick, they came through by cars, aud arrived
here this morning, all well.
MAIL ROBBERS.
The Richmond Examiner publishes the fol- |
lowing :
" We have just seer, a letter from Alios A.
LAWRENCE, of Boston, well known to the
eoantry as one of her jnen of capital, and a
leading Black Republican, in full cons tence o,' <
President LINCOLN and his Government at
Washington. It is addressed to ANDREW j
JOHNSON, ot Tennessee, aud encloses a draft !
for $l,OOO, as a part of (he pay intended for ,
liis services in tiic betraying of the coi.fidinir
fiorticn of the people of Tennessee who
lave stood by him in support of tiie niainten- |
ance of the Federal Uunion. We give this !
letter to the public. Il was intercepted in its
passage to JOHNSON, and is now in the posses- ;
siou of n reliable gentleman of this city. There |
is co doubt of the genuineness of the letter.
Let the people of Tennessee ponder over!
this letter, and ask themselves if so base a 1
traitor should longer exist in her midst.
So blasting a crime cannot be resented with
too dire a vengeance by the people of Tennessee
He ought to bo arrested at once :
" BOSTON, May 18 —DEAR SIR : If yonr
cote to me were printed in oar newspapers, it
would be good for ten thousand dollars in three
days lime. But of coarse I must only use it
as a private letter.
Ia order that yon shall be sure of something
at once, I write below this a draft which some
of your Union bankers or merchants may be
willing to cash at the usual premium far East
ern exchange. Probably GARDNER & Co,
EVANS & Co , DOCCLAS tk Co., of Nashville,
will know it.
The Government will soon exhibit a power
which will astonish even yoi. The nuliifiers
have been playing intq SCOTT'S hands for three
aud they have lost the game. Yours,
with regard. AMO* A. LAWRENCE.
If yoa cannot use the draft, return it und
tell us what to send.
BOSTON, May 18.—At sight, without grace,
pay to ANDREW JOHNSON, or order, one thous
and dollars, for vaiue received, and charge to
my account. AMOS A. LAWRENCE.
To MASON, LAWRENCE & Co.. Boston.
Across the face of the draft is the acceptance
cf MASON, LAWRESCE & Co.
The original of this letter is now in the
band of Gov. HARRIS. Several previous let
ters have also been detected."
Of course, the Secessionists cooid only get
possession of this letter by robbing the mail.
PICKING OFF THE PICKETS.
Two of the pickets of tho Rochester (Fif
teenth) Regiment were picked off last night
by the rebel pickets. They are missing, but
it is not known whether they were killed or
stolen.
The Seventeenth, Col. Lansing, arrived at
Washington this afteinoon."They were forty
eight hours on the road. They go iuto camp
te morrow, near Camp Cameron.
•One of the officers of the Second Connecti
cut Regiment, whose name I could not learn,
beyond the fatt that he was the officer of the
day, wns yesterday decoyed by two women to
accompany them to their home, about a mile
beyond his post, upon the pretence that they
were afraid to ga aloae. On arriving, he was
invited in, and shortly after the house was sur
rounded by rebel pickets, and the officer taken
prisoner. The whole thing was evidently a
trap to secure the officer, and the women wrre
doubtless decoy ducks. This is the third Con
necticut man that has been thu3 taken.

BALTIMOBE, Bunday, Jane 23.
A gentleman from Frederick says tiiat on
Saturday, at noon,the advance of Col. STONES
column was at the point of Rocks, moving
towards Harper's Ferry, and one of Gen. PAT
TERSON s columns had passed through Green
castle in the same direction. No doubt was
entertained in the vicinity but that Harper's
Ferry would be occupid today by theGoverm
ment troops.
The Government lias possession of the tele
graph, and allows noting relative to the move
ment of troops in that vicinity to be sent.
It is also said that the report of hanging
Col. BOWMAN and Mr. CHASE, at Martinsburgh
was current there yesterday morning, but was
ascertained to be incorrect.
SPECIAL DISPATCH FROM WASH
INGTON.
WASHINGTON, Tnesday, Juno 18.
There was an attack made upon a train of
cars yesterday afternoon near Vienna For
incomprehensible reasons the coirespondents
were not permitted to allude to the matter.—
The facts, 1 believe, we are now permitted to
state.
A detachment of the First o!iio.R°gimer.t,
three hundred in number, under command of
Brig. Gen. SCHEXCK and Col. MCCOOK, went
up the Alexandria and Leesburgh road.—
When near Vienna it encountered a battery of
six pieces, supported by fifteen hundred in
fantry. At the first fire the train was Uisa
bled the troops thrown into confusion. Tliey re
treated, with a lo>s of seven killed and about
a dozen wounded. The rebel battery also
withdrew back upon the rnaiu body.uear Man
assas.
As is apparently the rn'o, the Commander
skirmished with a locomotive, with a tender
and a platoon of cars for advanced scouts,and
so with a full head of steam run full upon the
rebel battery. In view of the brilliant capaci
ty to command exhibited by cur Brigadier-
Generals, it is understood that BEAURESARD
has issued orders to his sharp-shooters uot to
hit the men with epauletts, thus reversing the
usual order of fighting. The rebels had rather
encounter two or tree of our Brigadrers t'uau
one private.
ST. LOCI 3, Tuesday, June IS, ISGI.
The Democrat has just received the follow
ing di-patch froin Jefferson City. Mr. Gor
don cf St. Louis, and other gentlemen from
above, give the following account of the batt/
of Buoneville :
Geu. Lyon landed four miles below Boone
ville and opeued a heavy canncuuue against
the rebels, who retreated and dispersed into
the adjacent wood, whence, hidden by bushes
and trees, they opened a brisk fire on our
troops.
Gen. Lyon then ordered a hasty retreat to
the boats, and the Rebels, encouraged by this
movement, rallied, and followed the troops in
to a wheat field.
Gen. Lyon halted, faced his troops about,
and bringing the whole force of his artillery to
bear, opened a murderous fire on the Rebels,
300 of whom were killed, and the,balance fled
in all directions,leaving their arms on the field.
General Ljou then moved forward and took
Buoneville.
Gen. Price was taken with violent diarrahoea
at the beginning of the battle, and was taken
on a steamer and carried to his home in Char
aion.
Gov. Jackson viewed the battle from a dis
tant hill, and fled to parts unkuown after the
defeat of his forces.
There is great rejoicing among the Union
men here,and the stars and stripes are hoi.-ted on ;
the Capitol, guns are fired, and the Star-
Spangled Bauuer was played by regimental
bandg.
Scouting parties will be sent out in all di
rections to morrow to cut off the retreat of the
rebels.
Steamer J. C Swon lias arrived with two
cannon, ammunition, and artillerymen, which
have been planted at Col. Boernstoin's head
quarters. John Fitzpatrick, one of the inost
violent Secessionists in the State, took the
oath of allegiance to the United States Gov
ernment iu the presence of all ollicers here to
day.
A SECESSIONIST AND INCENDIARY

to-day by the citizens from a third story witi
| dow of the Court-house building, lie was
I charged with causing the destructive fires here
I on the 7th of this month and in Decmber la.-t.
His guilt was fully established, and it was also
proved that he had planned the burning of the
business part of the town.
TIAGEr.sTOvrN, June 20.
Lieut. Col. Bowman, and aUo a Sargeant
of the eighth Pennsylvania rrg ment accident
ally got within the enemies' lir.es yesterday,
opposite Williarasport, and were captured.—
Tiieir present locality is not known.
A lawyer named Alvey was arrested last
night and is still in custody. A strong case is
said to be made out against him.
FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, June 23.
I see yon are puzzled to understand the
■ proposition of the rebel Government to buy
one half of the cotton crop. Let me tell you
what Mr. Ex-Secretary COBH expects to make
by his scheme, and how he expects to make it
successful.
The cotton obtained from the planters is to
be sent to one point, probably New Or'eans.
Mr. COBB then expects to say to England,
" We have gathered one half our crop at one
point ; you must raise the blockade and let it
out." if England's necessities are so great as
to impel her to such an act, COBB expects
then that the remainder of the "crop will be
seat forward through the same direction by the
planters, And thus the entire ci op will be sold
and the cash realized.
i Yoa ceo elaborate tbis idea - I kcow it is
the key of Cosa'a scheme. The prospect of
such a market induces the planter logive the
rebel Government one-half of his crop, while
concentration induces England to risk a war
with this country. This is the way in which
Cotton is expected to prove that it is King.
IMPORTANT EXPEDITION TO TEXAS. •
A naval expedition of much magnitude will
soon be fitted out to operate on the Coast of
Texas, it will consist cf transports, carrying
munitions of war and men, conveyed by small
vessels of war. The former will be large en
ough to take field and form a nucleus, around
which the Union tnen, under Houston, can
rally Preparations are now making for the ex
pedition.
The Second New-York goes over the river
to-night, to replace a regimeut moved forward
from the intrfciichmets.
BLOCKADING THE FORT OF CHARLESTON.
I think it has been resolved to blockade
Charleston harbor most effectually, and by the
same process which the rebels initiated. Ves
sels loaded with stone will be sunk across the en
trance of the port, so as to prevent the egress
or iugrcos of vessels.
A BALLOON RECGNNOISSANCE.
Gen. MCDOWELL had a balloon reconnois
sanee of this rebel camps on the Virginia side
this afternoon. A telegraph operator and two
topographical engineers went up, and remain
ed considerable t rae—long enough to note
with accuracy the positicus which the rebels
have taken.
INTENTIONS OF THE REBELS.
It is again talked among the old residents
Washington is to be attacked this week. The
re 1 els huve, I think, conceived the idea that
they can frighten Congressmen from the Cap
itul, and so prevent a session iff Washington ;
—and, indeed, some among them expect to
have Washington sacked by t he Fourth of July.
A wife of a former resident ot Wa-hmgton,
who is now a captain in the rebel ranks, as
sures me that there are one hundred and eighty
thousand rebels armed and in the field, and
that the genius of BEAUREGARD is eipuil to
concentrating that ma.-s of chivalry so as to
environ Washington within the next ten days.
I know she is in constant communication with
the rebels, and that she believes the danger of
Washington so imminent that she is in the
greatest distress for t Ire personal safety of some
friends who are yet loyal. I think she reflects
the opinion prevalent among the rank and file
of the rebel army, that Washington is within
their power ; and I think, too, that the rebel
leaders really contemplate a tremendous effort
to prevent the assembling of Congress.
The disposal of the Government forces in
dicates that the War Department are prepar
ing for lite possibility ot an advance of the
rebel forces. Our troop are being eoncen
trated and are assuming camp positions capa
ble of being defended, without so much regard
to pleasaut campaiug grounds as was formerly
apparent.
Wheeling Convention.
WHEELING, Jane 20.
Tho morning session was occupied in sign
ing the decimating reconstructing the State
Government. It was an impressive scene
I'lte roll was called by counties. Each member
came forward to the secretary's desk and signed
the parchment.
In the afternoon session, Frank P. Picrpont
of Marion county, was unanimously elected
Piovisionul Governor; Daniel Pallsoy, of
Mason county, Lieutenant Governor, and
Messrs. Lamb, Paxtou, Van Winkle, liar
rison, and Lazear from the Governor's coun
cil. The election of Attorney General was
postponed till Saturday.
'i'tie Governor was formally inangrated this
afternoon, taking, in addition to the usual
oath, one of the strongest opposition to the
usurpers at Richmond, lie then delivered
an address to the members of the Convention,
urging a vigorous prosecution of the work ot
redeeming the State from the Lads of the
rebels.
A message from Governor Pierpont,
favoring a strong miilitary organization, is ex
pected in a day or two.
To night the city is in a blaze of excitement
Fireworks, bells, cannons and music arc com
bined to illustrate the geueral joy. Everybody
is rejoicing.
BALLOONING. — Prof. Lowe made his first ex
perimental ascension on the 18th inst., from
the Armory grounds at Washington. Messrs.
Barns of the Telegraph Company, and Robin
son, the orperator, accompanied him. The
latter had charge of the at rial end of an ex
ceedingly small 11 • lix wire,insulated with green
silk, and connected with the regular lines.—
An operator below repeated the message from
the air afhr it had been transmitted llirougb
n mile of this helix wire, wound round by a
cable, ascended. The White House, the War
Department, Alexandria, and the Philadelphia
office were communicated with, and if the oth
er offices had la en silent, intertoarae might
bare been indefinitely continued.
The highest ascension was 45J feet. Several
more experiments will be requisite to establish
the extent to which the bahooncaft be used on
the battle -field, to give orders, and in recou
noisances to record observations in camp while
working at a distance. After the experiment
was concluded, the balloon was towed up by
ropes to the grounds of the President, who
reviewed it. from the window. The car was
adorned with two American and one British
flag. The tricolor was accidentally absent.
DRUMMED OUT —On Monday evening of last
week, at G o'clxk, a member of Capt
McGee's Irish Infantry, of Maoch Chunk,was
drummed out of Camp Curt in, at Harrisbnrg,
with all the honors. It appears that the in
dividual in question, whose name we did not
ascertain, was not only guilty of irMibo'rdina
tion. but lie was also pugnacious,having knock
ed down nn officer of his own company, for
which offence he was tried by a court martial
and sentenced to five days' imprisonment on
bread and water, and to be publicly drummed
out of camp, in presence of the entire division.
On the evening named his head was shaved,and
in the presence of the entire army he was
marched cut of camp at the point of the bayo
net to the tune of the " Rogue's March."
FLORA TEMPLE. —The little Bay Mare has
been goiug it again. A horse called John
Morgan, a grandson of the celebrated horse
Medoc, was brought here to contend with the
" little wonder." The trot took place on the
Centerville Course, Long Bland, on the 13th

Thursday Morning, June 27, 1861.
THE NEWS.
An aggregate of over thirteen thousand
additional troops have readied Washington
within the past week, and these troops have
generally taken the place of those which have
been pushed' forward across the Potomac, to
swell tho grand army of invasion. Military
movements were quiet active on Saturday,
but the caution with which everything is now
done by the War Department precludes the
possibility of explaining their meaning. It is
rumored in Washington again, however, that
the rebel forces intend to innko an attack this
week. They have, it is asserted bv those who
are supposed to be in the secrets of tho ene
my, one hundred and eighty thousand men in
the field, and that they will soon make an
attempt to surround Washington, under the
directions of CEAonsocARD, is co spidered not
impossible. At any rate, the War Depart
ment seems to be preparing for such a possi
bility. Gen. MCDOWELL has made himself
fully acquainted with the position occupied by
the enemy, through the medium of a balloon,
in which were a telegraph operator and two
topographical engineers. This operation, it is
to he hoped, will prevent the recurrence of
any more such affairs ns that of Vienna, as
the exact localities of all the enemy's batter
ies, masked and otherwise, are now known.
The call of the Union men in Texas are not
to be disregarded, as will be seen by oir dis
patches this morning. A naval expedition of
great magnitude is soon to be fitted out to op
erate on that coast, consisting of transports
carrying munitions of war, and small vessds
of war with troops on board the latter to
take the field at some convenient point, as
the nucleus which the Union men can rally to
the support ot the Government. Another
coil in the ureal boa-constrictor !
Harper's Ferry is probably once more in
possession of the Government, and this with
out striking a blow. On Saturday, at noon,
the advance of Col. STONE'S column, which
has been operating on the Potomac, at Ed
ward's Ferry and Seneca reached Point of
Rocks, on the way to the Ferry, and one of
Gen. PATTERSON'S columns is reported to have
passed through Greencastle, in tiie same di
rection. This intelligence comes through Bal
timore. We have also a corroborative dis
patch from Hagerstown, which states that
the Sixth, the Fifteenth and Twenty-fourth
Pennsylvania Regiments had marched to take
possession of the Maryland Heights, looking
down upon the Ft rry. The position of Gen.
CADWALLADER'S command appears to be un
changed. Four Regiments are in camp about
a mile east of Williatnsport ; DOUBLED* Y'S Bat
tery is on the Williurasport Bluffs ; PKRK'N'S
Liirht Artillery Battery is between Hagers
town and William-port ; four regiments are
two miles from Williamsport, on the Green
castle road ; five companies of cavalry are
a mile below Hagerstown, on the Fredrick
roud ; three regiments are ono mile further
south, and two regiments are twelve miles be
low Hagerstown, 011 the Sharpsburg turn
pike.
THE COMING SES.-lON OF CONGRESS. —Tlie
Post's Washington letter Fays : The hotels
ut - e full, and many members of Congress are
already here to prepare for the short but ex
ceedingly busy session which is at hand. The
Congressmen who hare arrived seem to be
pretty generally agreed upon two or three
pouts —the session shall be a short one
—that no subject shall be introduced tending
to divide the loyal men of the country —and
that everything the government has done shall
be most fully endorsed, and every necessary
provision for the future be made. Three
weeks will probably be the extent of the ses
ion, but the month of July may be consumed
particulury if any new treaties be proposed to
the Senate for a ratification.
The departments are overrun with appli
cants for ofliee, as much so as ibey were the
fatter part of March. There are 50,000 ap
plications for office in the different depart
m n ■ not one of which has jetreeeivel con
sideration, nor can many of theui be atteuded
to till the war is over.
MONUMENT OF SENATOR DOCGI..— A num

representing several States, assembled at the

views, J. J. McElhone, J. F. Earns, Thos. C.
Fields, Andrew M. Sallnde, and George W.
McLean, were appointed a committee to ar

CROPS IN lOWA. —The Deavenport Demo
crat speaks very flatteringly of the crops in
lowa. Of wheal, the Democrat says : "If
the weather continues favorable from this for
ward, the crop will be considerable heavier
than that of last year, which was good enough
for anybody. With the large crop and cor
responding price, lowa will furnish wheat
enough to bread one qaarterpart of the whole
North "
GENERAL SCOTT IS wisely substituting light
artillery in the army for that of cavalry. He
is induced to do this, because it requires more
than a year to drill cavalry, to render the men
proficient us riders, to mike them perfect in
the various evolutions, and to accastorn the
horses to the shocks of battle, when gunpow
der has to be wasted. Light artillery will
make dreadful havoc among the knights ol
the Sonth, who, true to their instincts of aris
tocracy, array themselves in the most gorgeous
nttire, mount young and untrained horses, and
thus caparisoned and equipped, they expect
to intimidate the infantry troops by their splen
dor as well us glitter of their appearance. A
few round of grape, well directed and copious
ly given, will soon change the courage and
the course of their silly chevaliers.
