Riess as one of the most gratifying remits of the military occupation of Baltimore. We are disposed to give the Governor credit for the best intentions. We think, if the rebel lion had not overmastered him, he would have called out his contingent of troops at as early a day and with as much alacrity as Go- VernOr COWIN or Governor Annanws. We are sorry that he has clogged his proclamation with conditions, but perhaps it is all for the beat. When we cannot get all we want, we must take as much as we can get. The Go vernor has been fearfully tried, but has con tributed greatly towards maintaining the Union feeling in Maryland, and deserves the support and sympathy of the Union men throughout the country. •• Government or no Government 9 ' Colonel ANDERSON made to the New York Board of Brokers, on Monday, one of his neat little speeches, so remarkable for their brevity and common sense. He spoke, as be always speaks, with the frankness of the soldier. as He bad never," the report tells ns, ce written or said anything to indicate that he would unite his destinieiN - ith those of the South. At the outset of tkeilavery troubles he did sympathize with Ide Southern friends, thinking that there was much Northern inter ference with the subject; that it slavery was an evil, it attached to the South alone. At the present crisis, neither slavery nor party politics bad anything to do with the subject. The question ts, government or no government, and he felt satssfied that when the present or deal is past we shall be again a happy and united people." We print this brief speech of Col. Amas ses, not because we want any assurance from his own lips of his fidelity to the Union or to those who hold his oath of allegiance and military obedience, but as a plain and practi cal statement of the issues which are involved in this Revolution. It would be difficult for language to be more concise than that used by the Colonel. He speaks with the prejedices of hie section and education on the slavery question, but he arises above those prejudices when he says that neither slavery nor party po- Utica have anything to do with the subject, that the question is, 4 . Government or no Government." In these words we have the whole story of the contest. We do not fight Ibr subordinate issues, but for the grand sys tem from which all issues spring. It is not a question of policy or convenience, of happi ness or misery, but one , of existence. The life of the nation is in danger, and we must insure vitality to the body before we look to the ne cessities or diseases of the system. It is not howlaws are to be administered,but whether we shall have laws to administer. It is not hovr.our freedom may be best enjoyed, but whether we shall have freedom to enjoy. It is not how our industrial interests may be protected, or revenue secured, but whether we shall have interests to protect or revenue to secure. It is tg Government or no Government." Into such a contest we are entering, and to it we must give everything that the patriot can give , to his country. The ordeal is terrible, but we must pass through it before we can ever again be come a free and happy people. Deposits an Savaug Funds. Not the least of the troubles which the present state of our national affairs has pre cipitated upon us is the anxiety of a large class of our citizens about the safety of their deposits in Saving Funds, and other institu tions. In some instances these deposits con atitute the fruits of many years' industry, and, in certain contingencies, represent the sole dependence of parties. It is, therefore, not unreasonable that, in these perilous times, deposit ors, especially of this class, should feel somewhat solicitous about the security of their money. This solicitude has been in tensified by the misfortunes entailed by recent failures of certain institutions in this city. In consequence of these, a large number, from fear of incurring a similar loss, are rushing for their money, preferring the risk of its safe-keeping themselves to taking the chances of its safety elsewhere. What we desire here to impress upon such is, to dzseriminate. That there are institutions in whose keeping funds are now extremely hazardous, we do not doubt ; yet that there are others perfectly secure is equally true. It is not to be expected, of course, that these institutions should have their capital at all times in ready cash; nor need the depositor be anxious abont this, provided he knows that it has a bona fide exhcones and is wifely invested. It is a well known fact, for example, that one of sour Saving Funds in this city has a surplus capi tal of four millions investea in mortgages and real estate. In such an institution deposits are unquestionably more secure than in pri vate hands. Besides this, to draw them out Involves the necessity, on the part of the in stitution, of realizing, by force or otherwise, upon their investments, the tendency of which is to engender panic, and create a greater and false stringency in the money market, which should, if possible, be avoided. While, there fore, persons who have moneys deposited where their safety is doubtful are fully justl gad In withdrawing them, those who bare en trusted their funds in the bawls of a, perfectly reliable institution—which may be ascertained by making proper inquiry—will certainly do themselves and the community a service by allowing them to remain, as usual.

Now TOM May 15.—The aloop•ofmar Van dalic. antrod Ofe orealog from the Cape of Good British Relations with this Country. At a cost of 200 millions sterling ($1,000,- 000,000) England learned the lesson, from 1793 to 1510, that her proper policy, is not to inter fere with the domestic relations Of other-coun tries. She waged a twenty years' war to re place a fat Bourbon glutton on the throne of France, and in less than a year he had tied from Paris, and Natenzost resumed his place in the Tuileries without the shedding of one drop of human blood. England, still bent on interference, renewed the war, and after a brief but wonderful reign during the Hundred Days, NAPOLEON was a second time defeated, and the Bourbons a again forced upon France by English bayonets. Exactly fifteen years later, Franco drove the hated Bourbons into exile, and England, which had already con sented to acknowledge the Independence of Greece, frankly admitted the right of every nation to choose its own ruler and its own form of government, and recognized Louis Fawn% as Mug of the French. Next came the acknowledgment of Belgium as a sove reign State. Then, NAPOLEON 111. was frankly received as the choice of France. Lastly, Viceon Eioraerier. has been treated, by Queen Vicronrals Government, as King of Italy. With each precedents before us, it was not to be expected that England wo-ld interfere in the present unhappy divisioe in the United States. Moreover, Mr. SEWARD had firmly intimated that he would not permit any foreign Power to interfere with the domestic rela tions of the United States. On the 29th of April the official determination of the British Government on this head was intimated, in the Upper House of Parliament, by Lord Wm:frame, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. He was asked by Lord io - iTatesernar, who was Foreign Minister in the Derby-Disraeli Cabinets of ISO and 1858, er What steps the Government have taken with that object;• whether they have made any attempt to prevent the quarrel between the different States of the American Union from coming to a bloody issue; what hopes they entertain of succeeding in so laudable an endeavor, and whether they have invited, or are in correspondence with, any other European Government, with the view of ob taining their assistance in seeking to put a stop at the outset to a civil war, of which, if once fairly commenced, it will be impossible to foresee the end." The official reply was brief and plain, in the following words; ‘, In answer to the question, what steps have been taken by her Majesty's ministers to avert this great ca lamity—for such a great calamity it undoubted ly must prove to be, not only to the Americans themselves, but to England, which is so closely connected to them by the ties of kindred—l have to state that, after the most mature deli beration, the Government came to the con clusion that it was not desirable that this country [England] should intrude her advice or counsel on the Government of the United States." Lord Wei:isnot/se added, that the Palmerston Ministry thought that a great and independent nation might not welcome advice given with 'respect to her internal affairs, if that advice were proffered without being soli cited, and that the instructions to Lord MONS, British Minister at Washington, were simply that he should, on every fitting occasion, ex press the earnest desire entertained by her Majesty's Government that the differences which prevail between the Northern and Southern States of America should be ar ranged, but that, neither officially nor offi ciously, should he presume to give any coon eel or advice to the American Government, -unless such counsel or advice had been asked for by the contending parties themselves. Mr. SEWARD'S decided declaration, already re ferred to, put the negative, by anticipation, upon any offer or attempt, on the part of a foreign country, to intermeddle in the do mestic affairs, peaceful or waxlike, of the United States. In all cases where mediation Is proffered, it is where two nations have a misunderstanding, and not, as in our case, where civil war arises out of rebellion. That England should acknowledge the Sou thern Confederation, at the earliest, until it really bad effectually broken from the United States, and actually established separate and independent nationality, is wholly out of the question. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, a week after Lord WODEHOUSE'S declaration, distinctly stated what would be the action of the British Government. Mr. EVART asked eg whether, seeing the possibility of privateering being, permitted and encouraged by the Southern Confederacy, the American Goveriveittt had placed a sufficient naval force in the Gulf of Mexico for the Protection of British property in American ships, and if privateers, sailing under the flag of an unrecognized Power, would be dealt with as pirates ?" Lord Jose Russztt, the Foreign Secretary, replied that a British naval force had been sent to the coast of America for the protection of British shipping—that the United States had decided on a blockade of all the Southern forts, which, the law officers of the Crown had declared, could only be recognized when effective— that the Son. them Confederacy had issued letters ofmarque, and that, as regarded them, the Government were legally advised that the Southern Confe deration must be considered belligerent; and that "the British Government has felt that it was its duty to use every possible means to avoid taking part in this lamentable contest. Nothing but the imperative duty of protecting British interests in case they are attacked justifies the Government in interfering at all. We have not been involved in any way in that contest by any act, or by giving advice in the matter, and for God's sake let us, if possible, keep out of it." As there is some difference of opinion re specting the meaning of the words that as re gards letters of marque, the Southern Confede racy must be considered belligerent, we desire to state Lord Jona intended the declaration as a reply to the last part of Mr. EWANT'S question—whether privateers, sailing under the flag of an unacknowledged Power, would be dealt with as pirates ? Lord Joan virtually says cc the Southern Confederacy, although an unacknowledged is yet a belligerent Power, and, being so, England will not deal with her privateers as if they were pirates." This la the obvious meaning of the words, which are ob scarely expressed, in Lord JOHN'S usual mud dled manner. Correspondence.

The English press exhibits great alarm at the progress of Mormonism in Great Britain, but particularly in Wales. The last•received number of the Morning Star (one of the ablest of the London cheap newspapers) takes the subject np very seriously, and expresses its horror at finding that et so hideous a delusion as Mormonism" is not dying out for want of material. It adds "But it seems it is not so. A paragraph we printed the other day tells us that the emigration of Mormonitea from Great Britain, particularly from the Southern districts of Wales, has, during the last ten weeks, been on a large male. From this metropolis itself a party of upwards of fifty has jest left for the Salt Lake, and many salt tears some of them are fated to shed before and after they get there What seems more astonishing is, that these devotees of Joe Smith are said to em brace all claret's.

Yet so it is. The bulk of the victims, however, are undoubtedly the igno rant—we do not mean those ignorant merely of the Christian religion, but people who have grown up without having had en opportunity of learning more than is to be seen within their own horizon, and not always that The audacious theocracy on the borders rof the Salt Lake finds its reunite *hien, in the most benighted agricultural districts, and in the dismal nooks and crannies of great cities, into whioh the light of intelligence no more penetrates than it illumines the moral mind in the southwest of England and in South Wales " The Star declares that this fact is a re proach to England as a nation, not that ample means for educating the whole popu lation have not been provided, but that there ig some obstructive and perverting influence in our political and social institutions which arrests the flow of light, into those places where it is most needed." In fact, the agri cultural classes in England and Wales are re markably ignorant. It is different in Scc)t land, where every peasant receives a good plain education, and though the Irish pea santry are indifferently educated, not one of them has been induced to join the Mormons. It is probable that their religious belief has kept them back from such mingled wicked ness and folly. Putting aside any discussion, as utterly use upon the imposture of Mormonienl fabri cated by Elmira and cunningly kept up by BRIGHAM YOUNG, it is singular that compara tively few rehable revelations concerning life at Salt Lake City have appeared, to put the weak-minded and credulous upon their guard. It, is generally believed that the emigrants to Utah are robbed, cheated, and ill-used by SatotrAm 'rouse and his leading associates, but few have been willing to confess how mi serably duped they were. Life in Utah is not the most pleasant. The journey to Salt Lake City is of itself a terrible affair. Utah is not exactly a land Sowing with milk and honey. The Star Bays Milk, it seems, is not sold, and is only to be had by families who keep cows. such a thing as honey was never seen in the place. Wine is at an enormous price. There are no apples, pears. plume, cherries, strawberries, nuts, gooseberries —no oranges, lemons, or citrons. Sugar is at twenty pence per lb , and frequently within a couple of months after the arrival of the goods' tea,me, neither tea nor sugar, coffee nor pepper, nor rice is to be had. Articles which are not ab• salutely necessary, but which nevertheless contri bute to the comfort of homes, cannot be had at any pries at the Balt Lake. With respect to the pur veying department in short, the exoter i c sain is must rind the New Jerusalem an extremely undesirable place to live in; whatever fat there is in the land Is mostiv swallowed by Brigham Young and his bishop-elders. The poor are worse off than in Nfigland, and that surely Is saying a great deal. Workmen are paid in instalments of flour, pota toes• and meat, doled out to them in petty quEnti ties." In winter the condition, of the poor is wretched in the extreme, for the cold. is in tense. The condition of woman in such a place is shockingly degraded ; she is in the position of a slave, bumbled, dispirited, filling the office neither of wife nor servant. Tho General Government of the community is thoroughly despotic, and the rulers have no compunction in executing the sentence of death for trifling offences. The saints in the country are continually singing a song, the burden of which is, " In Deseret we're free!" A part of the freedom consists in every ono paying a tithe of his whole income to the priest-rulers. co And that isn't enough," said BRIGHAM YonNo, on ono occasion ; c , if you have a lot, or a share of a lot, upon which you raise anything, you must pay a tithing for that. But if I pay you a salary you have no right to work on the lot, not even after hours ; for yen are mine—my slave as much as a nig ger in the South is the property of his mas. -ter." People who read newspapers learn some. thing about Utah and Mormonism. Bat such people are not at all disposed to go to Salt Lake City. The poor and the ignorant be come the prey, of the half.enthuslasts and whole-knaves, sent out from Utah to persuade them to emigrate thither. The British Go vernment, with all its power, cannot prevent such emigration. Is it not possible, however, to send proper agents among the people most easily deluded, whe would show them how the case actually stands ? As for this country, the continued toleration of Mormonism in Utah is far from creditable to us as a nation. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Letter from 4, oecasional.” [Correspondenoe of The Preis) WASIIINGTON, May 15, 1861 Among the moot interesting pointsl in this revo lutionary period, St Louis deserves to be classed. Yon hive pima the telegraphic despatobes, demi- Meg the collisions between the mob of St: Louie and the troops under commend of Captain Lyon. The troops, loyal, faithful, and courageous, were Germans, and the Bacesolonists have contrived to awaken against these gallant men the prejudices Of people of other nationalities. The Colonels of the volutesr brigade are all Republicans, chief among whom is Frank Blair, the son of Francis P. Blair, of Silver Springs, well known as the editor of the Globe during the Jackson Administration. St. Louis is probably the only place in which the friends of the Union may be said to be composed almost entirely of Republicans, which is unfortn nis, but is the result of the acrimonious party strife that has existed between the Republioans of St. Louis and other organisations In Mis court a different state of parties Wets. There the Union men are composed of the straight Douglas and Boil-and-Everett parties, while the Diounionists, beaded by Governor Jaokeon, are made up of the Breekinridge faction. Bat it can nit be denied that a strong Secession sentiment 15 growing in Missouri, and that, for same canoe, there is imminent peril of that State being carried out of the Union. Letters that I have read ard r eceived from gentleman resident in the interior of the State give a mist gloomy account. In some quarters, whore the Pennsylvanians and other Northern men reside, there is every prospect of the Union men being driven out, and compelled to seek shelter in lowa and Illinois. The secession of Missouri would be the destruction of St. Louis —sudden, inevitable, and irreparable. The policy of the Government in keeping open the Mississippi, and in preventing all trade between Bt. Louis and New Orleans, and its determination to avoid every State controlled by the Secessionists, and thus to cut off St. Louis from that vast overland trade connecting the Mississippi with the Pacific and tar intermediate territories, will soon convert the beautiful commercial capital of Mieeouri Into a &Sedation and a waste. Missouri was destined to a long career of pros perity. Her finances bad been managed Skilfully, though Somewhat boldly; but 311300 the death of Colonel Benton, who apprehended and anticipated, with prophetio eye, the design which has now been so fearfully and formidably unveiled, the doctrines of Calhoun, preached by such men as Green and Polk, and a host of similar politicians, have taken deep root, and all that Colonel Benton feared. and fought against is probably about to take place. It is impossible to overestimate the powerful impression created by Stephen A. Douglas 'in his wonderful speeches throughout the State of Illinois.

It is, however, so near the Kentucky border that a good deal of strong Southern sympathy has al ways existed among its people, who are almost entirely descendants of Virginians and Kentuck ians, and if Judge Douglas had remained neutral in this mighty struggle, or had taken the course of Breokinridge and his gang, an incurable division would have taken place in this important section.

The old hero works with astonishing seal, and his mind operates as actively as many a man at fifty-five.

Occeszorran, LATEST NEWS By Telegraph to The Prima PROBE WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to " The Press." The assurances that the Administration is vigor ously prosecuting its measures against the insur rectionary States have a substantial basis. All the membere of the Cabinet s together with the President, are animated by a common principle in furthering the plans for consummating the Govern ment policy. An increased stimulus, however, was to day, ap plied. A committee of prominent gentlemen from , the city of New York had a long interview with them, and the result.was their consent to accept the services of fourteen additional regiments from that State. This meets with the concurrence of Lieutenant General Scott. The committee strenu ously nrged prompt and effective Measures, with no halt in the proceedings, and it appease from their private conversation that the supply of money to support the increased force is a matter which should occasion no unpleasant concern to the Ad ministration. A report is current than an engineer officer has discovered that the Virginians are throwing up defences within spy-glass view of Washington. This may be a repetition of a former unfounded rumor. At all events, if it should, he confirmed, it is not at all probable that the Government would remain an indifferent observer of the proceedings.

Rising at day-break tbb3 morning, your Special Despatch reporter made a hurried visit to the mili tary encampments in the suburbs of the city. Camp Anderson, on Franklin Square, is emu pied by the Twelfth New York regiment, 001. BUT TICRFIRLID The selection of this spot , has the double aecomtnodat;on of loontion within the eity, and ample spaoe for camp and parade ground The acoommodations of the regiment are ample for the purpose, and comfortable, consisting of about seventy-five small frame houses, boarded and supplied with windows. The materials were furnished by the Government, and the work was dene principally by the troops The only difference between the dwellings of the effacers and those for the'privates is in their respective sizes. At the early hour of my visit, the men had been called up, and were outside of their houses and around the pimps, at the corners of the square, perform ing their morning toilet. The rules of the camp ware posted on the door-posts for the notice and observance of the men. Sentinels were on guard around the square, and an air of cOntent mord and comfort was perceptible on every man. tenameet The bind .that came on with iligregi ment has return6d to New York-rand - Witier's Excelsior band, of this city, has taken their place. One half of the Square is reserved for parade ground, where daily parade and drill is observed. For daily target practice, the regiment is led out in companies to a neighboring brick-yard. As nearly every camp on the ground is shaded by, the overspreading boughs of the stately trees on the square, the men are simply protected from the heat of a noonday sun, while the facilities for vanilla• tiou alffrd an ample supply of puro air during all hours of the day and night. Camp -Cameron.' The camp of the Seventh New York, in on: northern suburbs, has already boon described in the columns of The Press.

Company A, acts as general literary agent for the regiment, and does the editing of sermons preached by the chaplain and those who mutat him, a portion of which have been published. Under the sturdy oaks which ornament the camp ground, and render it peculiarly pleasant in warm weather, groups may be seen at all hours, gathered together for tionvoreation, reading, or a hand at garde, while the locality affords ample space for daily drill and target practice. Meridian Hill Encampment.. On the ample elope of this beautiful elevation, hitherto consecrated to pie me parties, the four New Jersey regiments have pitched their tents, and are now in the enjoyment of one great, pro longed pio-nio pastime. Verily this soldier-We is a very pleasant thing M some of its stages. The New Jersey boys find it so, for beyond the hem" of parade and drill they have ample time to erjny themselves in all the pleasures pertaining to lone• cent rural recreation. And with the ample picnic pavilion within their camp-ground and superior regimental bands of music, the boys only too keenly regret the absence of the left behind them, whose presence here is only required to complete the`elements essential to enable them to add the Terpsiohorean to their other exercises. This fine regiment is encamped on an ample park near the Insane Asylum. As they have not yet completed their camp, I will only say that they are in possession of a very fine position for comfort, and are, under the excellent regulations of the colonel, among the hest disciplined regi ments in the city. Their correct military move ments in drill exercise are a theme of remark and commendation by spectators, and, coupled with un usual agility, they will prove unusually effioient in an engagement, should next:Afar be °ailed to that experience. If a reverent ever felt anxious for a practical trial of their skilli the Zouaves are oar% tainly under that influence, judging from their own declarations. The Georgetown Encampment. Col. Coßoonwe.s fliztpainth New Tork ment, as ThA _Press hag informed its readers, is within the walls of the college, at Georgetown. Your reporter found the regiment in excellent spirits; and it is due to the citizens in this neigh borhood to gay that they have been unremitting in their efforts to render the sojourn of the Sixty. ninth pleasant to every man in the company. So far from the presence of a military gathering being injurious to the interests of the college, it bee been demonstrated that the reverse is the foot, as teaohers in the college have embraced the oppor tunity, while the regiment is daily ant on drill, to point out to their pupils the peculiarities of the different movements, and thus afford them a good lesson in military tactics. The regiment are, like the others, in excellent health, and there is enough of the literary element among their snout bars to give a high tone to their amusements. One of the surgeons of the Fourth Pennsyl vania Regiment was insulted and threatened in Barnum'a Hotel, in Baltimore, nn Tuesday. lie was on his way to Washington, and having registered his name, was Omit going to his room, when a Secessionist, without provocation, endeavored to draw him into a quarrel.

A Bf*LL TRAZIBACTION One of the detective officers related to um you day a transaction which indioates a Saloonsi sympathy and a general @matinees of mind. It also throws some light upon the matter of Secession feeling in the city, that, fearing to proclaim itself openly, resorts to petty undertakinge which sai Adeptly show the spirit of its chivalry A surgeon of one of the regiments that left Phila delphia on Tuesday boarded at a domicil!. on Chestnut street, not far from Tenth. The bones in question is reputed to be the abode of certain redi oat Southerners, of more real than goad sense . Those worthies, it is said, labored strenuously to make riots during the late Presidential eleotion; and since the question of Secession has been broached, they have proclaimed themselves fa. vorabte to the Cotton Confederacy, and cut pub tic reflections upon our Philadelphia volunteers. The surgeon referred to was in receipt of a box of bandages, supporters, ate., from the ladies of her. Dr. Daeachet'a congregation. The same were securely pecked In small box, and consigned to the surgeon aforesaid, who, in daily expectation of being ordered away, planed them in the hall of the boarding-house, under a table, so as to be out of the way. It fall to the ears of a youthful sprig of tholes/ —likewise from the Sonth—a resident of the place t that the box contained bandages for the" Yankee' or Pennsylvania volunteers. He proceeded to the proprietor of the boardlog-house, and doomed the preeenee of bandages for Amerient soldiers as an znsult to him. The proprietor thereupon penned a letter to the wife of the surgeon—old totter extremely insolent in spirit—directing bet to tell her bneband to remove the box. She Fed no attention to the same, but found on her dime. plata that day a letter still more insolent, !WM she tore into fragments, and passed, per waiter, to the landlord. The result of the matter was, that the box of bandages, valued at TAM was thrown into the yard. where the surgeon discovered it on Sunday, in great risk of being ruined by exposure to rain. lie forthwith left the boarding•house with ble family. The estimable boarders of the place 00D• sidered the small transaction a very good joke, and mot their sympathies with the insetted limb of the law. How the storing of a box of bandages for wound ed soldiers in any house could be an !Nutt osollot be explained.
