With Freedom's soil beneath our feet.
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us!
Wass the story of the Revolution of 1861
Is told to the children of the next generation,
the scenes of yesterday will form the subject
of many a fireside tale. The child of to-day,
venerable with years, will tell of twenty-five
hundred young men who went forth from
Philadelphia, on a bright May day, to tight
the battles of the Constitution and the Union
—of the thousands who followed them with
shouts of acclamation as they passed along
the highways to the plate of embarkation—.of
the hopes and prayers which went with them
to the fields of victory and fame. Philadelphia
parts proudly with her sons. They go forth
npon a mission as holy as the mission of those
who carried the banner of freedom over the
plains of Germantown and by the banks of the
Brandywine. Their fathers fought the battle
of Liberty—their sons fight the battle of
Union.
The Goudition of our Troops.
We have exhibited towards the military
authorities of the State great patience and
consideration. We have endeavored to ap
preciate the difficulties which surround a Go
vernment in equipping thousands of men, yro
riding for their wants, and transporting them
across large sections of territory to distant
points. We can very easily see how a State
devoted for years to protecting the peaceful
intermits of 118 people, and naturally neglect
ing those measures of legislation necessary to
Its military security, would be almost para
lyzed by the shock of treason which came
from Charleston bay, or overwhelmed with
the tide of popular enthusiasm now flooding
the patriotic States of the Union. Accord
ingly we have treated all complaint against
the military authorities as a mere *lnt of die
satisfaction, springing from those temporary
annoyances necessary to these immense enter
prises which have been suddenly undertaken.
Facts are coming to our notice daily which
compel na to entertain the belief that, in the
management of the military affairs, great care
lessnese or ignorance is being exhibited.
There seems to be a universal feeling of dis
satisfaction with the arms, clothing, and equip
ments of our troops, and of the rations fur
nished to those soldiers now awaiting orders,
or in camp in various parts of the States. It
is a well-known fact that , the Pennsylvania
troops, who went to Washington in the latter
part of April, were the worst-provided com
panies in the city. Their clothing was scant,
ill-made, and of an inferior quality. An emi
nent citizen of this city has'called upon us,
and given a deplorable account of the troops
under the command of Col. DAR; and now
stationed at Elkton, Perryville, Havre-de-
Grace, and doing picket-duty along the line
of the Baltimore Railroad. Few of them hare
overcoats, and those who have, received them
very recently. Their blankets are of a misera
ble quality, and entirely unfit for nee among
civilized people. They have only one snit of
clothes, and no change of underclothing, and
they are either compelled to live in a state of
discomfort, or to wash their clothes, and re
main in their tents• unapparelled while they
are being dried.
If this state of things was unavoidable, if
the remedy was beyond this power of the
State, we would cheerfully submit to it, as a
military necessity, and• consider these personal
sacrffices among those which must be made
to the country. A little care or prudence on
the part of those in power would have ren
dered these COMM 424-4 tinneteSSAry... Penn
sylvania is surely as competent and as anxious
to provide for the comfort and necessities of
her soldiery as her sister States of New Eng
land and the West. We have heard of no
complaints Ake these from the troops of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, or
New York, and we are glad to know that the
regiment which left last week, under the com
mand of Colonel ParrEnsos, and those under
the commands of Colonels I.avlS, LYLE and
xenvoasn, are - provided for fully and com
fortably. This is owing, howay.i.,-to - me lb
evetflon and firmness of Contlial PATTERSON,
who remised to permit a soldier to pass from
the city until he was in condition for efficient
service.
We think, however, that instant - measures
should be taken for the relief of those volun
teen now on duty under Col. Dean, that the
situation of every soldier going from Pennsyl
vania should be inquired into, and that each
should be furnished with everything necessary
to his comfort as a man and his efficiency as a
soldier. We do not know who is to blame for
the present eontlition of things, but it should
be remedied, and measures taken to prevent
a recurrence. Oar young men go, forth from
Comfortable homes to eery() their country,
and the least that country can do is to keep
them in a state of comfort and serviceability.
The Affray at Bt. Lams.
W e read with rein the accounts of the re
cent terrible affray at St. Lords. The death
of so many people by a violent agency, and at
the hands of armed men, is lamentable, what
ever may have been the causes which led to
it, and we see among the slain innocent women
and children, with feelings of the utmost sad
-11083. The accounts which have come to us are
incomprehensible, uncertain, and partial. We
only know that there was a 00111131011 between
the troops and the populace, that offensive
Words were need, and shots fired by the mob,
that officers were wounded, that the soldiers
returned the fire, and that some twenty of the
spectators, including three or four women and
children, were slain.
As we have said, the accounts which come
to 11/3 of this deplorable occurrence are con
fused and partiaL St. Louis is in a state of
fearful exeitement, and every partisan has an
exaggerated and unreliable story to tell. There
Is one fact very satisfactory to us, however,
and that intim approval by General HAUNT of
the conduct of the troops. That discreet and
brave officer would not shield with his sanc
tion any act of insubordination or assassina
tion on the part of those Tinder his command,
and we are confident, therefore, that their
conduct was a necessary act of self-defence.

a repetiffon of the outrages of sbe conspira

[Correspondence of The Press.]
WAsaytwrosr, May 14, 1861
The extraordinary unanimity of the loyal States
against Secession and in favor of the Government,
does not prevent certain papers and parties, in
Pennsylvania and elsewbere, from resorting to
every insidious scheme to destroy this unanimity,
and to throw us book into the discords from which
we have only lately been rasened. Pretending to
an extra amount of patriotism, and greeting to de
nounce Davis and his brigands with strong em
phasis, they labor to keep alive the old party M-
T/Biwa, and delight in nothing no much as in as
serting that the Republicans aro not largely repro
fantod in the army. and that the majority of the
troops are Democrats. The object is to create
dissensions among the troops, to divert them from
their duties ; and to fin them with alt manner or
jealousies and @widens. 1 notice, with great
pleasure, that In nearly every instance the
person' engaged in this miserable game are
atm. who co-operated last year with the Ilia.
uoionists—the organs and defenders of the
Breokinridge revolt, which began its wrong upon
right and upon principle, by falsehood and foul
play, and, while denying its ultimata design
against the peace of the country, was, as the re
suit proves, a plot to deetroy the Union. I bad
hoped, when the people warned the Northern
traitors, after Sumpter fell ; that they mutt Mara
to the mode of the Union, or take the couse
quenoes, there would be a submission to their de
mand, and aomething like a show of sympathy for
the sufferings of our country. Afraid to strike,
however, directly at the heart of the great MOTE
meld in favor of preserving our liberties, they are
not afraid to wound it in every base and olandeotine
way. The constant Albanian to tile , polities', of
the soldiers is the meanest part of lilt system ' I
have not sought, through the router-tolls of the
regiments now encamped here, to separate the:.

Democrats from the Repablioona, hoonnaa I have
a higher appreciation of our great cause than to
resort to this profitless and malignant investiga
tion; and I know that be who does make
the experiment will be rewarded with the
Contempt and morn of the gallant men . composing
these regiments. You never hear of past polit ies here, except in the spirit that rejoices over their
utter, and, It Is to be }toped, thole etetail over
throw. The man who would make a party speech
jest now to a company of Pennsylvania volunteers
would be biased out of their presence. As to - the
contemptible allegation itself, 1 will not °Gude
wend to discos or refute it. Bunioe it that 'the
public feeling of the loyal States. which embraces
all parties, is here splendidly represented by the
troops ; and not a day pastas' that I do not meet
some late Tarty leader in arms for his coun
try. The miserable Marplots engaged in the dis
grace of trying to divide the frienda of the country
in the free States should be exposed before they
have succeeded in their scheme. I will not name
them, but hope that the people of Lancaster,
Barks, Northampton, Chester, Dauphin, Diontgo ,

closely to certain inallious Isadore and newepa.

if such internal influences against theflag of ihe
country art permitted to operate_ Detect, de=
nounce, and punish them, wherever found.
The Disunion leaders are rapidly concentrating
their forces in Virginia, particularly about Birth
mond and Harper's Perry. Within the last few
days they claim to be able to capture Fortran,
Monroe, though upon what grounds I cannot anti
cipate. Do not be surprised if within a few days
you hear of an advance upon Ilarper'o Ferry,
Alexandria, and Riohmoad, on the part of the Go
vernment. The vigorous blockade of all the ports
of the seceded States, extending from Pensacola to
Norfolk and Richmond, and their utter exolualou
from all the advantages of railroad ; connection
with the producing or free States, will compel them
to make a short campaign, and hence our tint con
flict will be a desperate one on both sides .
The anxiety to procure positions in tho vedette
branohes of the military and naval service con
tinues to increase, and the rivalry, so animated,
and sometimes so angry, between the candidates
far lieutenancies in the army, the navy, and the
marine corps, extends to the rank and file of the
regiments. All sides are clamorous to be enlisted
or mustered into the public service; and I have
been told that the sons of rich mon_have 'come
from all parte of the country, ready :to pay large
sums into the public treasury if they can secure a
chance to fight in a subordinate position for the
Amerloan flag. The feeling in New York city is
so strong, that if Mr. Lincoln called for forty
thousand additional troops, he amid receive them
from that city alone. The competition is not row
for mere °Aloe, for consulates and clerkships, but
for a chance to fight for the country. Some
speculation has titan place as to the operatirna
of the Statra of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisoonain,
tows, Minnesota, and Michigan. Far removed
from the immediate seat of excitement, it might
be supposed that they were comparatively Inuit'.
ferent and reasonably safe from all apprehensions
Of Attack, but I learn that there, as elsewhere, the
whole population is in arms_ The 1111•41ivri uptga
navigation of the Ohio and Mississippi, like that
of their own inland seas, the great lakes, is of
vital importance to these States. What they need
IN not troops. for they hare MOM in abundance, but
arms and ammunition. The Administration, ap
preciating the condition of this immense tract of
country, and the millions Ofteupying It, will, I have
no doubt, either furniat arms or authorise the
State Governooents to purchase them on the faith
of the Federal authority. Gen. Scott, with a full
knowledge of the neeeseitiee of thin portion of his
military empire, entrusted It to the experienced
care of that young but gallant and well-traioed
soldier, a native of Philadelphia, General George
McClellan, appointed Major General of the tomes
of Ohio, by Uov. Dennison. At the head of , the
great military district composed of Pennsylvania
and the whole valley of the Mitaiseippi, he will be
able to Rum not only the expootatioua (tibia friends
but the demands of those who look to him for coun
sel and support: He knows the oapaoities and the
renouroca of the Western people. For some years
the executive head of the groat Illinois Control
Railroad, which extends from Dunleith, lowa, and
Chicago, Illinois, to Cairo, and more latterly pre
sident of the Ohio and Mimissippi Railroad, be
adds to the knowledge he acquired in battle and
his foreign travels and his extensive reading a per
fect acquaintance of the topography of the West
.and Southwest_
I notice in ono of the papers here an allueitn to
the feet that General McClellan was a great favo"
rite of Jeff. Davis while the latter was Beeretary of
War; but, nelike that fallen statesman himaalf,
and the wretched men who have dishonored them
selves by following: hie example; McClellan has
ever been and still Is a true soldier of the Union—
s soldier by conviction and inheritance—and if
JOE Davis has ever dOne any good for the United
States, it was when he gave this line young (Geer
a canoe to display his energies in battle and in
private life.
Such is the demand for admission into the army,
that I would not be !surprised if the President
should direct that all the troops offering should be
mustered in. Carl Schurz, the newly-appointed mi
nister to Madrid, has had authority to raise a 'plan

points arose from unavoidable circumstances, and
probably they might prefer to be inactive in PM

Washington. Senator Wade, of Ohio, la here im

regiments lately organized in Ohio. The Union
men of Delaware, too, aro on hand, demanding as
a` right that they shall be permitted to take a

Sr Lotus, May 14 --Gen. Harney publishes an
address to the people, of Missouri, in which he
sails attention to the military bill recently passed
by the Legislature, which he regards as an indi
rect secession ordinance, manifestly unconstitu
tional, and ought not to be upheld by the good el:I
-som He says that voritatever may be the terrains•
lion of the present condition of things in respect to
the Cotton States, Missouri must share the destiny
of the Union, All her material interests, point to
this tee tit, and se impertartt is this town-tied to the
great interests of the country, that I venture the
opinion that the whole power of the United States
Government, if necessary, will be exerted tomain
tain Missouri In the Unlon. -
Speaking of Camp Jackson he says that the
names of Davis and Beauregard were marked on
its main avonneo ; that a body of men wee orga- .
nixed In the interest of the Secessionists; had been
received there openly, bearing the dress and
badge distinguishing the army of the so-ealled
Southern ConfederacY. Re leaves the people to
draw their own inference of the oharaoter and n 1
floods purpose of the eneampment. Be states,
however, that there were many good and loyal
men in the camp who were in no manner responsi
ble for its treasonable character.
In conclusion, he gays : Disolaiming all desire
or intention_ to interfere with the prerogatives of
the Stat.? of Missmui, or with the functions of its
EXeOßtivel yet I regard it as my plain path of duty
to express to the people, in reapeotful bat decided

Murder at Midnight..A Volunteer Stab.

A brutal case of murder marred last evening
toward midnight.
Shortly after half past eleven &clod, a Ger
man named Rohe, a volunteer in the regiment of
Colonel Max Einstein, was , proceeding along Cid
lownill street, near New klarket, in company with
two of his friends, who ware members of the same
regiment. When near New Market street they
were accosted by a company of rowdies to the
number of five or six One of them used abusive
words to Rohe ; and charged hint with having used
his sword upon hun in the earlier part of the day.
Rohe denied the charge, and said he never cerripd
a sword with him.
The rowdies intuited' the volunteer and. his
friends. In the altercation one of the party
stabbed Kobe on the left side. The knit* entered
hie heart, and in a few minutes he expired. Hi g
friends defended that/metres a 8 beet they could,
but after murdering Kohe, the assailants fled. The
body of the murdered soldier was taken te the
Eleventh ward station house, and his friends de
tained; in order that they might undergo !In Ng
amination.
The pollee proceeded, "at an early hour this
morning, to an armory on Front street, near *Me,

FOR THE WAR.
Departure of Three Philadelphia Regiments.
SCENES itT TEE ARMORIES AND DEPOT
Twenty-five Hundred Men on theldarch.
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Throe more regiments of brave men have gone
from oar city to add themselves to the army of the
Republic. The flower of our volunteer militia has
been summoned to the active duties of war, and
Plulanolphia, in sending them away, lute vindi•
sated the tardy , honor of her soldiery. From sis
ter cities regiment after regiment have been sent;
from Philadelphia but tut), With the three regi
ments whioh departed last night, however, nearly
five thousand of our troops will bays been plaoed
in the field, and there are ten thousand more at
home, panting with anxiety to be armed, clothed,
and equipped, that they may make good the boasit
of the Executive of the Stale and mingle in the
first fray.
GREAT ESPECTATIOI.B.”
The antiolpations end disappoint - manta to which
these troops have been subjected during the past
three weeke, might have wearied a laggard patti
otism and brought disaffection upon soldiers with
leas to contend for- There has seemly been a day
during the three weeks when it haa not been ru
mored that the men would be required to march
at once. They have frequently slept in their ar
mories all night, upon their arms, expecting before
dawn to be summoned up and ordered at once
away. Several times, the farce has been put
ripen them of providing themselves with ra
tions. Time and again they have bidden their
Mends good-bye, thinking, with each saluta
tion, that they had spoken their last fare
well. Subjected as they have been to these con.
tinned trials, it is a matter of some wonder
that many have not thrown up in disgust, or
yiellied to the temptations which beret the soldiery
in a great city It is probable that individual
men have been more or less demoralised; but the
experience' of yesterday afternoon evideneed to
the thousands that gazed upon them that the great
mass of the volunteers were still resolute, patriotic,
and eoursgeous men, able to endure hardships,
and anxious to fight the good fight. Many of the
troops bad resigned lucrative positions, and were
constantly reminded, during their protracted stay
in this city, that they might have been still at
tending to business matters, As a general thing,
there was a good deal Of dimatistiotion among
the volunteers, and it would have been well if
Mee having charge of the matter would have or
dered them to some place removed from the city,
where all the duties of military life could have
been learned, end rho temptation of a city avoid
ed. With the exception of the National - Guard.,
the other regiments have not been drilled by bat
talion, but simply by company. It may be that
matters like those have suggested a rumor, which
we heard last evening, that the men would go no
farther than Bitten or Perryville, and would re
main at one of those plugs a week or two to pet
feet themaelvea in military movements.
Tux NATIONAL GUARDS AT PhANKLIN SQVANE.
The National Guard, than which no finer regi

assembled in Franklin Square early yesterday af
ternoon, and held themselves in readiness to obey
further orders. Here the wives and families of
the soldiers gathered to hold the lent Conversation,
and say the final " good. bye." litany curious seance
were remarked here In one place our attention
was drawn to a soldier who had been separated
from his wife :Oa number of years, Hearing that
he bad connected himself with the Guards, and
was about to go to the wall, his wife took her two
oldldren yesterday afternoon, and sought out her
hnsband among a group of soldiers. The petty
differences which bed caused their aberration
were forgotten in the joys and anxieties of the
hour, and, laying aside all , pride, the wife
went forward, and took the man's hand, who
responded with like franknese, They were point.
