FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1861
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe bat falls before us?
With Freedom's soil beneath oar feet,
And Freedom's banner waving Wer US!
“An Armed Nentrality.”
Those people of the Border Slave st a te s ,
who have hitherto been for the Union ft 'on
conditions," have assumed another position,
and now demand what is called an cs Armed
Neutrality." The Louisville Journal, which
represents the Crittenden party in Kentucky,
advocates this policy in urgent editorials,
while in Tennessee, such men as Joss BELL,
Ex Governor Same, and ANDREW EWING,
publish an address to the people in favor
of its adoption, which is a singular docu
ment. Speaking of the refusal of Governor
Maims to furnish the quota of troops de
manded by the General Government, it com
mends him for tc the wisdom, the justice,
and humanity" of his course. Secession is
denied as a constitutional right, and the ac
tion of the Government in endeavoring to
sustain the Republic is denounced as a sysitem
of 4 ( coercion and subjugation." The present
duty of Tennessee "is to maintain a position
of independence—taking sides with the Union
and the peace of the conntty against all as.
!silents, whether from the North or South.
Her position should be to maintain the sane-
My of her soil from the hostile tread of any
party." To maintain this sanctity, it is re
commended that Tennessee be fully armed, to
tt resist, at any hazards," the Government, in
its efforts to carry out the policy indicated in
the President's proclamation.
We must, therefore, assume this address to
be an official definition of what we are to un
derstand by an cc armed neutrality." The
people of these Border Slave States may very
naturally object to having their territory made
the scene of civil war, with its attendant mi
series and peril. They may claim an immu
nity from a quarrel in which they profess to
feel no interest, and present plausible reasons
in favor of such a position. But does the ad
dress of these eminent men, or the reasons they
adduce, really represent the position of the
Border Slave States? Let us see. They have
been crying "peace," "peace," for the last
few months, and yet at the same time every
effort has been made by their States to advance
the cause of Secession. Their public men
have given aid and comfort to the rebels in the
Cotton States; they have taken possession of
railroads and public highways, for the pur
pose of obstructing the ordinary course of ju
dicial procedure ; they have permitted agents
of the Confederate States to enlist troops for
service in the cause of treason; they have
collected munitions of war for the use of the
Government at Montgomery ; their Governors
have insulted the President of the United
States in the performance of his duty, by
messages nnbeeoming gentlemen, and the
constituted authorities of the Republic are
coolly told by subordinate officials, who have
oaths of allegiance recorded in Heaven, that
fifty thousand troops would be gladly furnished
to make war against theponstitntion.
Practically we can, see little difference be
tween the course of the Border States for the
past few months and that of the Cotton
Inion in De
ember and January. They have volunteer=
to defend them in every aggravated act of
treason, and now they propose to cover them
with the shield of an armed neutrality. They
hold the loaded pistol ;to the head of the
rightful owner while their partners are quietly
appropriating his property. So long as the
General Government continues in the course
of conciliation, they hold conventions, debate
the propriety of treason, ask humiliating con
cessions from the North, open recruiting
stations for traitors, and invest their money
in the promissory notes of JEFFERSON Davis.
But when the Government attempts a simple
act of self defence, and the President asks
all good and loyal men to assist him in the
execution of the trust committed to his care,
they draw the sword and insist that treason
shall be protected, and its authors permitted
to continue in their wicked career.
The Republic must be preserved, and every
good citizen must give heart and hand to the
work. If these gentlemen of the Border
Slave States are willing 4g to take sides with
the Union and the peace of the country
against all assailants," they must do so by
giving obedience to those whom the Union
has chosen to command. The day of conces
sion and compromise is over. Forbearance
ceased to be a virtue when Fort Sumpter
was cannonaded by rebel batteries, and
its practice to-day would be an unpardonable
sin. War is terrible, but national degradation
is infinitely more so. We are now to know
whether we have a Government or not, and
the sword is forced upon us as a test. When
the mortars of the Secessiordsts are almost
within shelling distance of the White Rouse—
when nearly every avenue to the capital is
blockaded—when a traitor in Montgomery
boasts in April that ltui flag will float over
Washington in May—when Southern generals
are rapidly concentrating their forces on the
shores of the Potomac—when organized pi
racy threatens to destroy our commerce—
when unarmed men and peaceful soldiery are
murdered in broad day by a brutal and Malig
nant mob, it is no time to talk of at armed nee
frailty." We must be for the Union or against
it, and the consequences of either alternative
must be accepted by every citizen, whether in
the North or the South, Massachusetts or
South Carolina, Pennsylvania or Tennessee.
The Commander of the Ohio Troops.
Governor DENNISON, of Ohio, has appointed
Captain Geortox W. MCCLELLAND, Major
General and Commander-in-Chief of the forces
to be raised by Ohio in the present contest.
This appointment is the best that could pos
sibly have been made. The only regret which
the citizens of his native State will feel in con
nection with it is, that he has not received a
responsible and leading position in our own
army. It is due to Governer CURTIN, 110W
ever, to state that he offered to Captain
MeCtimattre a high command quite recently,
but, through some misunderstariding as to the
proper point at which he could be reached,
his despatch was not received until the flatter
ing but well-deserved, merited, and highly
appropriate tender of Governor Desersort bad
been made and finally accepted. It is scarcely
necessary to inform our readers that Captain
McCzar:Lane is a Pennsylvanian by birth, a
son of that distinguished surgeon, the late Dr.
GEO. MCCLELLAND, whose name is as familiar
as a household word in this city, and in many
Other portions of the country ; and that he was
formerly one of the most eminent and skilful
officers in the United States army. Graduating
with much distinction at West Point some
years ago, he served with great credit in the
Mexican campaign, and in some of the frontier
wars. He was afterwards appointed one of
the three commissioners to visit Enrope du
ring the time of the struggle betsveen the Al
lied Powers and Russia. Enjoying ample fa
cihties for inspecting all the operations in
both the hostile camps, he was enabled to
render himself personally familiar with all the
details, and every possible aspect of modem
warfare on a gigantic scale. His report to the
Government of the results of his observations
forms one of our most reliable and interesting
military works. For several years past he has
been actively engaged in superintending ex
tensive railroad operations in the Western
States, to which pursuit he energetically de•
voted himself after his resignation.
Now that our Southern adversaries are se
curing the aid of so many skilful officers, who
were trained up in the national service, it Is
gratifying to see a disposition manifested to
adopt a similar policy in the Northern States ;
and as we understand that a large portion of
the Ohio troops will be sent through Penn
sylvania, and as several regiments bave already
arrived, we presume . their new commander
will join them, and as they will probably co
operate cordially with our volunteers, and
will unite in important future operations, our
soldiers will have an opportunity of serving in
conjunction with his forcen, it not under his
direct command.
The Causes of the War.
The issue which has been forced upon our
beloved country all now comprehend without
argument. From one end of the tree North,
East, and West, to the other, there is but one
idea—that of loyalty to the Government.
Did the South loudly calculate upon dis
cord among free men when their country was
in peril? They will discover how grievously
they have been mistaken. Who will doubt the
future, as with a universal shout patriotism in
stantly and heartily responds to the demand
the Chief Magistrate for men and
made by
money
The issue of war has been forced upon us,
not by enemies beyond seas, but by men whom
we have been accustomed to can brethren,
who have lived beneath the protection of one
common fiag—who have been taught in our
schools—who, in periods of pestilence, have
received spontaneous aid from the North, and
had personal sacrincee endured for their re
lief. What honor, what respect of their oaths
before Heaven, do they now display when they
make the advent of a new President to power
a pretext for blood ?
Our humanity, our instincts, all history
teaches us the horrors of civil war--of inter
necine straggles. Who does not deplore it ?
Is it the spirit of sections, the question of
the negro, of a certain commercial policy
which urges this Government ant this free
people to advocate a call to arms? Prepos
terous But it is for the honest purpose of
upholding the law of the land; of preserving
the sanctity of our freedom Have the North
done nothing to avert this spirit of discord;
nothing to conciliate;.nothing to show their
aversion to bloodshed? Have they been in
haste to open this contest? Have they not,
on the contrary, borne and forborne for the
sake of peace? We know that fanatical par
ties have existed is tbe North, but their ex
cesses were and are condemned everywhere
alike. There is, then, no just plea which can
be put forward by the South.
Whatever may be the rights of the States,
as to their own jurisdiction, nothing can be
plainer that as to the public property, the pro
perty in'common ownership by the 'United
States, no State has a shadow of a right to
seize, hold, or occupy. Those who still en
tertain any doubt on that point will soon be
disabused of their error. It may be said that
after blood and treasure have been shed cote •
promises will at last be sought to arrange our
difficulties, and the terms of any treaty which
shall be made could as easily have been made
in the beginning. We doubt it.
Bet is this all Do Governments—shall
ours—treat with those who rise against it in
violation of their oaths of allegiance ? All
government, under whatever form, is useless
unless it has the strength and the means to
support its own laws. All government im
plies force; such force and of such a character
as to carry out its enactments.
The North has certainly done much. Pro
positions have been made and submitted by
committees and well-known men for the set.
Bement of our troubles. We have preferred,
and do prefer at all times, honorable compro
mise to war, but the North cannot yield up
every right principle. They certainly will
not abandon justice. They will, at all ha
zards, defend their liberties and maintain
the constituted authority.
One thing has not been done : A. conven
tion has not been had, as set forth in the Con
stitution for political exigencies. This was
urged months ago, when time was being
wasted- on new modes. There are, without
doubt, in the South, many hearts which beat
for the Union, but they are overawed by a
few daring spirits. We feel for such.
The people there are led on by a usurped
power. Every falsehood, blackened and
whitened over and over again, that men could
invent to arouse revenge and the basest pas
sions, has been used against the North.
We abhorwar, but we abhor anarchy. It
is not against the ..States. se tarp, but
ibsuniot, ule rebellious, we are called upon to
vindicate the supremacy of the ; United States
Qovernment.
When the South shall be more fully informed
of the undivided front, the unanimous posi
tion of affairs to the north of the line, and that
many in the Border Slave States are for the
Union, it may make them pause ; and in that
pause they may perceive how fearful is the
destruction which their measures are bringing
upon them, if better counsels do not prevail.
The imposing and determined legions which
gathered from every farmhouse, hamlet, town,
and city, composed of sons in whose veins
flows the blood of strong and valiant fathers,
will not fail to emulate the courage and endu.
ranee of their ancestors, on those fields of the
Revolution, the remembrance of which every
day renders more sacred.
Nor will those noble ;.egiments whose ranks
have been filled by men who have fled to the
Star Spangled Banner for safety from oppres
sion in foreign lands fall behind in the vindi
cation of its glory. In one way or another, all
who love the Union will show that they have
a will and a might tor its preservation.
An sc Election" in Baltimore.
Perhaps the most forcible illustration of
the state of society at present in Baltimore,
may be found in the result of the election
which took place in that city on Wednesday.
Baltimore has, as a general thing, been re
markable for the novelty of its elections, and
for the singular and energetic influences under
which they have been conducted. This last
last election is remarkable even for that city.
The total vote cast in all the wards is but
9,249, electing ten representatives pledged to
secession. To this ticket there was no oppo
sition—as scopposition" there is no longer a
question of franchise, but one of life and
liberty. The total vote cast at the recent
Presidential election in November was 80,148.
In November Baltimore was peace—in April
Baltimore is terror. In November over thirty
thousand of its citizens go to the polls and ex
ercise the duty of citizens, in April the number
does not reach ten thousand. What a dis
graceful and humiliating spectacle for one of
the most magnificent cities of republican
America to present
Colored Regiments
For The Frew.]
Opposition has been made to the employment of
colored men for the defence of Philadelphia upon
the ground that they are not citizens. This seems
a very untenable objeotion. If a man's house is
threatened with conflagration, he never thinks of
inquiring whether the men who work the engines
are white, biaok, or mulatto. What concerns him
is to have the fire extinguished. If want of citi
zenship is an objection to having colored volun
teers, it is equally strong against having ally aliens
or foreigners in the ranks.
Colored men fought for the liberty and inde
pendence of Amerioa daring the Revolution. The
lisstorical Magazine gives the following account
of some of their services : (Vol. 3, 1859, page 253 )
g , Thip black regiment distinguished itself greatly
at fled Bank, and elatmed the honor of having
been the first to stand and repel a British charge
of bayonets."
During the war of 1812, with England. there was
a company of colored volunteers in Philadelphia.
Colored sailors did good service in the navy. The
filibusters of New Orleans are now raising colored
companies- What impropriety can there bein
our detending ouradves by the same means ?

BARRIIIMIG, April 25.—Two Massachusetts men
fleeing from Thomasville, North Carolina, arrived
here this morning, via Carlisle. Lest Bundey
morning five hundred South Carolinian troops
passed Thomasville on their way North.
All along their route to the North they eaw
troops embarking for the North, and heard them
talk freely. They said their destination was to a
camp twenty-five miles south of Washington, near
Aquae creek.
who fugitives left Baltimore by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, not being able to get out any
other way.
As they passed Harper's Ferry they saw nume

number.

At Weldon, North Carolina, they saw a man
pleading for hie life to a mob, but cannot say what
was the result.
These fugitives were compelled toleave or volun
teer, end they left suddenly.
A volunteer of Allegheny oconty died at Camp
Curtin suddenly last night. There are five men on
the sick list, but there are no symptoms of disease,
except such as naturally result from men suddenly
changing their habits of life.

Important from the South
THIS POSITION OF AFFAIRS IN NAIIPLAND
The train that arrived from Baltimore last eve
ning brought a large number of residents of the
South, who are now coming to the North in conse
quence of the persecution to which they are sat,-
jeeted. Among them were whole families from
Baltimore, Charleston, and various parts of Vir
ginia and Kentucky. Among them was an old
gentleman from Charleston, who had the inilamma
tory rheumatism, and was permitted to pass unmo
lested in consequence of his inflation. It Is said
that the Secession feeling in the South is on the
increase. Troops were to be seen musterieg at all
points on the line, and every one was laboring
under a war fever. Many of the soldiers had
left Charleston and were marching to Rich
mond. Seven thousand troops are stationed at
Harper's Ferry. It was generally believed that
the Massachusetts and New York regiments had
reaohed Washington. The Seventy-first regiment
bad arrived at Annapolis. General Butler's regi
ment have pushed through from Annapolis and
°soupy the road down to the junction. The cam
munioation to thus kept open, and any num
ber of troops can be passed over to the capital.
Our forces have complete possession of Annapolis,
and no trouble is experienced in landing troops
and provisions. Large quantitkes of the latter
were oonetantly being reoeived by boats from
Perryville.
The ferry boat at Havre-de-Graoe is in good
condition. The Government has erected a thirty
two pounder on its deck. This gives us command
of the Maryland shore at that point. The Ameri
can Beg bee not yet been hoisted there, but it is
supposed the local authorities will be compelled to
do so to day by the forces at Perryville.
Colonel Dare has despatched a portion of hie
troops to Annapolis. Our informant, however,
passed the Solmylkill and another Pennsylvania
regiment between Elkton and Northeast Station
yesterday afternoon. The soldiers were in excel
lent spirits. A portion of the Schuylkill soldiers
remained in this city. They will receive their
aims, ammunition, and uniforms, and probably
leave to-day. Sherman's battery, composed of
eighty men and ninety heroes, are encamped at
the railroad depot in Elkton. They have several
field pieces with them. The populace of Elkton
have not yet shown their colors.
The transports used for conveying troops from
Perryville camp to Annapolis, are the Commerce,
Express, and Wilmsngtori,• and the Maryland
ferry boat. They make regular trips to that place,
and have not yet been molested.
On Wednesday evening a volunteer from Norris
town 'cut his throat, while suffering from the
mania-a-potu,and died almost instantly. His re
mains were brought to this oily last evening, and
will be forwarded to Norristown to-day.
Martial law has been proclaimed all along the
borders, from Newark, Delaware, to Perryville
Camp. The Union feeling in Wilmington was
said to be almost unanimous, although Governor
Burton has not yet issued a proclamation or made
any req,uleition for troops. Mayor Gilpin, how
ever, has been very active, and is very earnest In
his desire to proteot the Government. Five full
companies have been mustered into service at
Wilmington, and applied to the Secretary of War
for commissions for their officers.
•
A passenger from Baltimore assured as that at
least one third of the substantial men of that City
are for the Union. They emphatically state they
would rather see the City reduced to ashes than to
have the present disordered condition of things
prevail.

Two hundred more members of the Seventh
Regiment, under command of Captain Nick, late
of the army, left last evening, to join their com
rades in Washington.
The following interesting announcement, rela
tive to Colonel May, appears in this morning's
Tribune :
It having been very recently reported that this
gentleman is a Secessionist, it is due to him to say
that the reverse is the fact. A brevet eolonel in
the army, he saw his juniors promoted over his
head, Hardee being the last instance; so, in Sep
tember last, he wont to Washington and tendered
his resignation to Secretary Floyd. The latter
refused it, and gave him a votes leave of absence.
--1. , t1y...C010nel May went to Washington and
tendered 1118 mirvinuirtn - nive•val Scott, provided
he (Kidd serve in the rank to which he was en
titled. The General was sorry Qt. ne—oetild
not so arrange it, and Colonel May has since ten
dered his services to the Governor of this State,
for any position which he may choose to assign
to him.
Ekeorge Law (Colonel May's father-helaw) has
presented a revolver to each th an in one of the ec
lat:deer regiments.
Beckley, the man who has the great contract for
cleaning the streets, is again in trouble, two in
dietments having been found 'against Aim rester,
day for frauds committed in procuring the con
tract. In answer to the question propounded to
him, as to what became of the $40,000 said to have
been given to him by Mr. Hope for the purpose of
putting the thing through the Common Council, he
said that I his answer would tend to disgrace and
criminate himself." There is good reason to be
lieve that this stupendous swindle on the city will
yet be thoroughly exposed, and the parties to it
brought to justice. The present moment, when
patriotism rules the hour, seems favorable for a
more thorough administration of the laws.
Columbia College was yesterday the scene of a
remarkable demonstration, the prominent partied
pant in which was Major Anderson. That °Meer
had been invited by the president, faculty, and
students to raise the American flag on the staff
that had just been erected in the college grounds.
Among the notables present were President
Ring, ex-Governor Fish, the Mayor, Rev. Dr.
Spring, Hon. Samuel B. Ruggles, and Sergeant
Hart, who was with Anderson in Sumpter. Gov.
Fish, in his speech, referred to Columbia in
Revolutionary times, when Alexander Hantilton, a
strident of the college, stirred the masses by his
eloquence, and roused the public through the
press. After Major Anderson took the halyards
and pulled the stars and stripes to the top of the
star, which was done, amid deafening cheers, the
President called for the Star Spangled Banner and
asked the ladies to join in the chorus, which they
did with great enthusiasm. Anderson also joined
la, and waved hie cap along with the students, as
they sang "Oh long may it wave l" The whole
scene was one that sent the blood coursing through
the veins of , every one . who beheld it.
The Times, Traiune, and Courser and En
quirer this morning were emphatic in their com
plaints of the Administration for leek of energy
in getting off troops to Washington, and the gene•
rel inefficiency it hall manifested throughout the
campaign. In this they simply reiterate the pre
vailing sentiment of all classes, regardless of
party.
After considerable inquiry, I have ascertained
that there are now in thisoity, fully organzzed and

been seen below the navy yard, that Gray's Ferry
bridge was burned down, that a Secession Sag had
been seen on the State Donee, with atbeneand Tidi

PATRIOTISM IN THE PIPMENNTH
FLAGS ON TES SCHOOL•HUILDINOS
The directors of the Fifteenth school section have
placed flags upon the !whoa buildings under their
superintendence. The ceremonies took place on
Wednesday, and were of an Interesting andpatri
otio character. The first flag was raised at the
Broad and Barolay-streat school, in Craig's build
ing. The cornet band played the national airs .
The girls, under the charge of their teachers, Miss
Ford, principal, Miss DIMICIO, and Miss Maitland,
were dressed with red, white, and blue wreaths on
their heads. The boys, with flags in their hands,
were in charge of Mrs. Curtis, principal, Miss Sun.
derling, and Miss Curtis. A prayer was delivered
by the Rev. 3. Hyatt Smith. The flog was then
raised, amid many demonstrations of enkhnolaam. ,
Here the procession organized, led by Messrs.
George F. Gordon, Charles Adams, J. C. Dahad
way, J. M. Harman, directors, followed by the
band and the whole school. The second flag was
raised at the Francisville sobool-building, on Se
venteenth street, near Coates Here a large flag
staff was raised, amid unbounded enthusiasm. The
teachers formed a circle, which for graoe and
beauty could not be easily excelled. Principals,
Messrs. Potter, Diehr, and Burns ; assistants,
Misses Pettit, Oirby, Martin, Mendenhall, Carl,
Ward, Fisher, Faunae, Alb, and Allen. A short
address was delivered by Mr. George F. Gordon,
president of the Board of Directors. Rev. Theo
dore J. Wylie offered a fervent prayer. The flag
was raised, and the benediction pronounced by the
Rev. Dr. Crawford.
From Franoisville the schools formed in proces
sion and marched to the Livingston Grammar
School building, on Twenty-third street, near Cal
lowhill. It is supposed that over two thousand
people were present. The boys, under charge of
Mr. T. G. Barnwell, marched out and took a posi
tion opposite the school. The girls of the wheal
were under charge of Miss Gillingham, principal.
The primary aohools were marshalled by Misses
Farrand and Martin. Mr. Gordon delivered an

prayer. The Sag was raised, while the teachers
and scholars in attendance sang " The Star-
Spangled Banner" and the anthem, "My Coun
try, 'tie of Three." The flags were all made by
the teachers; the one at the Livingston by Mean
Chalmers, Coohrane, Allen, Gillingham, Potter,
Cooper, Bolton, Farrand, Hughs, Martin, Clark,
and others. The whole demonstration refloated
great credit upon the directors, tesehers, and
scholars of the Fifteenth ward.
PIRATICAL VESSELS IN ORR/UPHAM! BAY
We have information from the camp at Perry
ville that a number of suspicions Teasels have been
seen in Chesapeake bay, hueging the eastern
shore, edging up towards the Elk river, the outlet
of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, and even
approaching the head of the bay, toward Havre
de-Grace. The number of transport Tassels leav
ing the bead of the bay may have awakened the
vigilance of these pirates. It was rumored that
the City Ice Boat, which left the city last night,
was intended to cruise on these waters. She was
armed with heavy guns, and carried a staunch
orew.
TRN NATIONAL GUARD,
fully equipped, will farads this afternoon, starting
from the armory. They were furnished, yesterday,
with the regular United States service mniform,
and ordered to leave the city on Saturday—it is
thought to Camp Ourtin—to undergo drill for some
days. The regiment inoludes one thousand men.
Nearly seven hundred prime volunteers are left
over. A second regiment National Guards (Third
Regiment Penn. Volunteers) will be immediately
formed and officered. Rolls ler the new regiment
will be opened as soon as the present regiment
leaves The Guard have been drilling by squads
and 'companies in the armory and in Franklin
Equate daily since Monday week They have been
picked from 1,700 men, and, it is said, will be
equalled by no regiment leaving the North.
—Col. Lyle, the connnander, combines, with cour
age of a high Order, diaaretion and military skill
exceeded by none. Re has labored hard, and has
formed a regiment of gallant soldiers. Lieut. Col.
Baxter is only second to Colonel Lyle in all the
qualities necessary to constitute a thorough soldier.
Maj. Frits likewise reflects credit upon the forces
of the State, and this regiment especially.
Ta SCOTT LIGION 23111111ENT
drilled nearly fifteen hundred men yesterday in
Independence Square. The ranks of this legion
exhibit, in the character of the men, a most grati.
fying state of affairs. All are men in the full
development of strength, and with a moral integ
rity, which will go far to make them apt and
brave soldiers.
The renown attending the old Scott Legion has
been exemplified in the rapid manner in which the
regiment has been Oiled. To raise thirteen bun
dred men in the space of four days la no trifling
matter; of these, but 780 can be taken In the pre.
sent regiment, and a new regiment roll will be
opened as soon as the present regiment is offiolally
accepted.
Col. Gray, commandant of the regiment, is a
tried and discreet soldier. Captain Spear, Lien.
tenant of police in the Seventeenth ward, has
served Philadelphia as be served the nation in
Mexico—persistently and well. He takes with
him In company six, police officers, among them
Private Buck of the Seventeenth ward, a colossus
of muscle, weighing 260 pounds, and a fighting
man of the first order.
Captain Thomas Hawksworth of the regiment,
we have understood, raised more volunteers than
any individual captain in the regiment—namely,
140. Of thee% but 74 can be taken in his company.
Captain Hawksworth served with Gan. Scott in
Menlo°. He is a proprietor of the Sunday Trask.
;ova, and has been connected with the press of
this city in various capacities since 1840. A bet
ter soldier and a truer gentleman cannot be found
in the army of his country. All the other captains
in this regiment are men of indisputable skill,
bravery, and discretion.
A 8100 ND REQUISITION
When the demand for troops was made upon
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia was charged to raise
six regiments. Three additional regiments have
been shoe accepted, viz : two of Gen. ilmall'a Bri
gade and the Scott Legion Regiment. The latter,
it is understood, has been formally accepted.
It is now known that a requisition will be made
neat week or the succeeding week, for one hun
dred thousand additional men, of which Penn
sylvania will furnish twenty regiments. Ten of
these must come from Philadelphia. It is be
lieved that these could be raised of volunteers,
without resorting to a draft.
Already a New Jersey regiment is being formed,
five companies of which will be furnished by Cam
den and five by Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, it is
said, has furnished already twenty regiments.
RAISING OF A. FLAG AT TIM ORNTRAL MGR SCHOOL

the Star Spangled Banner in the lecture•room,
with a glorious ohorus. They were led by Dr.
Vogdto. A number of vitiate connected with the
school put the lade through a creditable drill, end
ail other matters passed off moat harmon.toudy.

Far other scenes are daily witnessed in places
of debarkation and departure. At Broad and
Prime we noticed, among the volunteers in the
depot, ready to start anywhere in obedience to
orders, numbers of sisters, wives, and daughters,
who bade their relatives good• bye with pride, but
not without tears. A y oung officer we remarked,
escorting a 'handsome g irl, painted out , to us as his

frequent exchange of letters,—promotion,—an ho
