As matters stand at present, the capital of our country is a frontier post upon what is virtually a hostile country. Nothing but the Potomac separates it from a strong hold of the Secessionists, and within sight of the capital men are daily driven from their homes, and subjected to cruel outrages and indignities, for no other offence than being loyal to the laws and Constitution of their country. - Unless an armed force is sent for ward, to protect the Union men of that district ; they cannot in safety either vote against the Virginia Ordinance of Secession or for a member of Congress to represent their inte rests at Washington. The Disunionists of the Old Dominion are as cruel and ferocious as they are desperate and treasonable, and they are now preparing to administer a test oath of allegiance to their State Gevernmmt and those who control it at Montgomery, and to punish as traitors all who will not bow the knee to Baal at their command. To guard against surprise, scouts of our army are constantly traversing the country on the opposite shore, and it is no unusual thing for them to see the 4icket guard of a hostile camp. Although no great force of traitors may now be concentrated in that immediate vicinity. yet it is well known that for weeks past the Secessionists have been concentrating the chief portion of their army in Virginia, and it would be in their power at any time, at a few days' notice, to gather many thousands of soldiers immediately opposite the capital. We do not refer to these facts from any fear of the ability of our Government to cope with its antagonists, but because of the anomalous position of affairs it presents. If in any other nation a traitorous army of great strength was within two days' march of its seat of Government, we should be very apt to conclude that it was in a tottering con dition, but the peculiar character of our present contest, and the sectional nature of the rebellion, renders the fact that Washing ton has been threatened much less significant than hostile demonstrations against the capi tal of any other country. It we hold it against all onr antagonists, as we doubtless will, that circumstance will in itself be an overwhelming proof of the strength of the loyal portion of the American people, and the comparative weakness of our enemies ; for while it is one of the most difficult points for us to maintain; surrounded as it is by a hos tile populatiori, it is one of the easiest for the traitors to assail. Their failure to capture it, after all their loud boasts, their secret prepa ration!, the unexpected outbreak in Balti more, the interruption of communications with the North, and the difficulty with which Northern troops approach it, while the communications with the whole South are so freely kept open, is a virtual confes sion of their weakness. And, after all, the Rebels are weak, very weak, in contrast with the loyal men of our country, and nothing but profound ignorance and senseless excite ment could have induced them to provoke a contest with us. Their inhabitants are dis tributed over an immense surface of land, and the average density of the white popula tion, per square mile, in the wildest and most uninhabitable districts of Pennsylvania, is fully equal to that of the whole South. It is not strange that, to make a formidable dis play of military strength, they have been compelled to force into their service men from sixteen to sixty years of age, for in no other way could they obtain the large armies which are necessary to make even a show of resistance to such forces as we can bring into the field, and to overcome their servile popu lation. After all their loud boasts of wealth, they are, in reality, as a people, poor—very poor. Their chief resources consist of the land which they rapidly impoverish by their destructive system of cultivation—the labor of their enegroes, who, in times of war, will become, in many cases, rather an incumbrance and a source of anxiety and danger than of wealth— and of the money, goods, &c., they have ob tained on credit from the bankers, merchants, and manufacturers of the North. They are constantly heavily in debt, said almost every sign of business vitality and advancement among them , . has been obtained, directly or indirectly, th rough the aid of Northern capital. Whatever may be the result of an occasional skirmish, or a few unimportant battles, there can be but one issue to a straggle in which the relative strength of the combatants is such as now exists between the patriots and traitors of this country. While we do not wish the war to be unnecessarily protracted, we should not become impatient if all the points we desire to have captured are not taken at once. We can afford to wait, and to fully prepare our selves for all contingencies, much better than our antagonists. Whenever and wherever we make an &liveliest step, we can, by timely pre cautions, render its success absolutely certain, and it is far better to do so than to rashly en counter unnecessary risks. With an abun dance of food, we still find great difficulty in properly organizing the commissariat of our army, and the troubles of our adversaries, among whom supplies are very deficient, to prevent starvation, must be very great. We are rapidly hemming in the Rebels by sea and /and, and not only preparing to defend every important point, but to march forward against them, and the American people may rely with perfect confidence ppm the energy and saga city of these to whom the direction of our military operations has been entrusted.

The reconciliation of Gi.smaran and CAVOUR, the particulars of which have just arrived, is one of the most gratifying of recent foreign events. These two men are among the fore most of the age. If, on one hand, ()Aver% has raised Vzerou. Exuantraz into a leading Sovereign, each as he who governs Italy must be considered, GAineennr, on the other, ma terially aided, first by his successful gallantry in the War of 1859, and, later still, by that astonishing expedition which, in so short a time and with apparently such inadequate means, annexed the Two Sicilies to the King dom of Sardinia. The friends of good govern ment throughout the world have lamented that there should be a difference, approaching even to personal antipathy, between GARIBALDI, the man of action and impulse, and Ca.voua, the man of thought and policy. Vicron Daum= himself has reconciled these two—subjects of whom any monarch might well be proud. GAVOIIR'S feeling was that, with all his bravery, GARIBALDI wanted discretion—that he had an overwhelming tendency to dash into an affair, at once, without waiting to con sider the consequences, and that he, more especially, desired to attack Austrian rule in Venetia, forgefful z or,ignorant of the fact that his doing so would probably provoke Austria to open hostilities in Lombardy, which might peril the permanency of VICTOR EMMANUEL'S rule in Italy. The cycle of events, in Ga voua's opinion, will so bring round matters that, by-and-bye, Venetia will quietly become part of the newly established Italian kingdom. Why, then, he argued, should blood and trea sure be expended on forcibly obtaining what Time, in his inevitable circuit, will certainly give ? GARIBALDI, on the other hand, has certain grounds for objection to GAVOUR, which, uni ted, have caused considerable ill feeling in his mind. A native of Nice, he complains that Civoua, on any pretext or to gain any advantage, should have sturendered • Sa voy and Nice to France. [We have no doubt that this surrender, the price of Ns,yozzon's assisting Yterou EmitAnnhe in the War of 1859, was arranged in the autumn of i 855, when CAVOUIL visited NAPOLEON at Flora bieres, to arrange the marriage between Prince NArozzon-.loaostx with the Princess atorumnn of Sardinia.] GARIBALDI is also angry with °Avers for not having assisted him, warmly and openly, in his operations of last year, commencing with his descent upon Sicily. But it may have been CAvoim's proper policy, as VICTOR, EZMANVEL'S ter, to avoid showing any complicity in an expedition against the territory of the King of Naples, which might have failed. Gitm- Milan is also dissatisfied that the men who fought with him, in the conquest of Sicily and Naples, should not be placed in exactly the same position as the regular army of Vie. TOR EMMANUEL : about the same as if our Volunteers, who have mustered, and have marched under the if Stars and Stripes" to maintain the , Union, should be dissatisfied, when the war ended with victory, in not being recognized on the same footing as the regular army of the United States. Another com plaint preferred by GARIBALDI was, that, pledged as he was to bring the whole of Italy under the sceptre of VICTOR Emmantran, his contemplated expedition to Venetia was for bidden by CAvoun ; who, moreover, had de cided on letting Rome alone, until, in the natural course of events, it must become the capital of the Italian Kingdom. Lastly, Gm:tummy; the Soldier, has that natural anti path y to Cavotm, the Statesman, which the man of action almost inevitably feels against the man of thought. Whenever such a feel ing arises, it is easy to foresee who must eventually succumb, for, as BYRON says, •` They who think must govern those who toil." The reconciliation between GARIBALDI and CAVOUB. has been effected by the personal in terposition of King Vxcroz-Emusunzz. GAIII DAtin Was on the eve of returning, dissatisfied and angry, to his island at Caprera, when he received a letter from the King earnestly en treating him to visit him, at his castle of Mon called, (four miles south of Turin, by rail way,) and bid him farewell. Of coarse, GARI BALDI complied, and after an hour's confiden tial conversation with the King in his closet, on the evening of April 24th„ he was talked over, and admitted that he acted thoughtlessly in attacking GATOIIR, on the 18th, in the Italian Parliament—at which time, indeed, he publicly intimated that he was ready to meet Osvona in the field, if he did not like his words in the Senate. So Impressible is GARIBALDI that, when, immediately after he had thrown down the gauntlet, and General Braio and Count CA-roun had re plied, with calmness and courtesy, .GAltt- Daum was in the act of leaving his seat and walking across the House, of pressing the prof fered hand of Count Ca.votra., when ZUPPETA I a Mazzinian representative from Naples, suc cessfully urged him not to yield to the gene rous impulse. A few hours afterwards GARI BALDI had been talked over by Tricroa-Etrsait. nat., the latter accompanied him to the house of the Marquis PAraaviOntr Tumoral°, in Turin, with whom there had also been a_diffi culty, and there the reconciliation between GAVOUR, TRII7IILZIO, and GARIBAIDI was com pleted, to the infinite satisfaction of all Turin, It is hoped that this pleasant state of good feeling will continue, and it is the more de sirable as the Italian provinces are so very greatly in favor of GARIBALDI that any slight shown to him would probably have a proju. dioial effect on the public mind. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter from " 0 ccasional.” [Correspondence of The Press.] Waartutopos, May 19, 1861 There have been several well-deserved promo - done in and appointments to the army within the last three days. Gen. George McClellan, of Penn sylvania, appointed Major General of the Ohio volunteers by Gov. Dennison, has been promoted as a Major General in the regular army by Prod dent Lincoln, and will be at the head of the West ern military district, composed of the western counties of Pennsylvania, the States of Ohio, Illi nois, Indiana, and Rentuoky. Col. B. F. Butler, of Massachusetts, has been promoted to a Ma jor Generalship of the army, and proceeds to day to Fortress Monroe, to take command of the forces in the district composed of Virginia, Ten nant*, and North Carolina. Both these gentle men have earned these high honors. General MoClellan outranks all other general officers, and will be Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States in the event of Ihe death of Lieu tenant General Scott. When it ist understood that he is not mach over thirty years of age, his pecu liar talents and services may be better apprecia ted. Young men are needed for such emergencies as the present; and you may look for a progressive and origteal campaign under the counsels of such men as McClellan and Butler. The two new brigadier generals' for the regular army are Major McDowell, U. S. A , promoted, and An- drew H. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, taken from pri vate life. The latter will henceforth be a member of .the permanent military eltablishment of Our country. Ho will be compelled to throw aside law and polities, and devote hie intellect and his life to the Republic. It is supposed that another briga dier general will be taken from Ohie to-morrow, in he person of Colonel Sherman, formerly of the army, but latterly superintendent of the military school of Louisiana, which he resigned when that State seceded. He is the brother of Hon. John Sherman, late Speaker of the House and the sue icessor of Secretary Chase in the /Senate of the United States. It is stated that later news from Europe leads the Administration to antioipate a less cordial sap port by England and Frame of the policy adopted towards the acceded Otatee than wee looked for two days ago. Should these two great Powers attempt to treat the Davis piracy u a Government, to dis- regard the protest of the Adndniatration, and to force the blockade, the war will extend from the New World to the Old. In such an event, we shall have a clean open field, on a dean open issue. It will be the battle of every element of slavery against every element of liberty. The end would be rushed through bloodshed, but the viotory would be with the right. The preparations of the Administration for a long and comprehensive campaign, though secretly madeN are stupendous. Up to this moment they aro not based upon tho contingoncy.of a war with foreign countries ; but the spirit of the people will sustain any expenditure that may be deemed ne- Gentry to vindicate the Government against European as well as domestic foes. Seizure of Arms at St. Louts. Bs.

FROM WASHINGTON. oneentration of Troops at Fortress Monroe. Major General Butler to Command the military Department of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. LETTER FROM FORTRESS MONROE. SEIZURE OP SHIPS AND TOBACCO. Special Despatches to " The Press." The transportation of immense bodies of troops to Fortress Monroe is to take place with the leak possible:delay. Major General Butler will forth with repair thither, whore ho establish hia headquarters as the commandant of the new Mili tary Department of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. These facts are significant of future events. A private letter, dieted on Friday, on board the U. S. frigate Minnesota, in llamptori:Roads, says : We arrived from Boston on the 13th, and have commenced our assaults on the enemy. We have seized about *300,000 worth of ship and tobacco. We are antioipating an attempt on the part of the enemy to fortify Shewell's Point, and if they do, we shall attack them. Twelve or fifteen of the regiments now in Wash ington are encamped in various localities. The troops manifest the 111019 t friendly feeling toward each other, while their general good conduct is re markable. Two grand °crape are proposed—one to be con nected with the Sickles' brigade, on Staten Island,; to receive whatever volunteera may be accepted, there to be drilled, and thence to be transferred wherever required on the Atlantic coast. Another camp to be located at Harrisburg, for the support of the service in this direction, and at the aouthweet. Colonel HeDowell was tendered promotion as a major general; but this he declined, preferring a brigadier. generalehip, which was worthily con ferred. His course on this subject was alone prompted by feelings of delicaoy; and in satin faction of a modest degree of ambition for military advancement. The Long Bridge, connecting Washington with the Virginia shore, was not merely guarded, but was occupied last night by a larger number of effective troops than heretofore, and an armed vessel was in the vicinity. These assures were precautionary, in view of reports of designed in jury to the bridge by the Secessionists. The New York Fourteenth Regiment arrived here at half past 7 °Week this evening. The health of the volunteers in and, around the capital continues unusually good. It is the intention of the Government to render the West Point aoademy even more efficient than it has been heretofore. A number of appointments have been reeently made from civilians to twangy lieutenancies of the regular army. Portland, Detroit, and Chicago have been con stituted new offices of exchange for the United States and Prussian closed mails, to be conveyed via Bngland by means of the Grand Trunk Rail way, through Canada and the Canada line of mail steamers plying in summer between Quebec and Liverpool, and in winter between Portland and Liverpool• Those (Coco will, in: addition to the British and French mails already regularly de spatched by th?, oomme nee to forward the closed mails to Prussia, via Quebec and Liverpool, on the let of June next. Major General Butler. Major General Dolman hue been placed at the head of the new military district composed of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. He left Washington last evening for Annapolis and•Fort rem Monroe. Illness of Judge Doug The telegraphic report of the illness of Judge Dommts is received with extreme regret here. Letters from Mrs. DOUGLAS, SS late as May 1.5, make no allusion to the illness of Mr. DOUGLAS, excepting that ho was then recovering from an attack of rheumatism. His friends, therefore, discredit the report of his being dangerously ill with typhoid fever. Arrival of the Eighth N. Y. Regiment. At noon, yootarday, the Eighth New York Re giment arrived by railway, and marched through the Avenue to their encampment ground at " Kale roma," en estate surrounded by green groves in the suburbs of the city.

Dr. Pincicsorr, of the Church of the Amension, in Washington ; has been elected Bishop of the State of Alabama by the Episcopal Con vention. The Troops at Religious Service. At the encampments, and in or outside of the quarters of the regiments in the city, religions services were held this forenoon. The Rev. Mar THEW BALE SMITH, chaplain of the Now York Twelfth regiment preached before the tent doors of that regiment. Ms discourse was eminently appropriates, and his eloquence riveted the evtten. tion of ,every soldier and civilian present. Washington the Resoot of Visitors. So thoroughly is our city environed by military posts, and protected against the possibility of a surprise, that the safety of our citizens is no longer questioned. It is now, and will continue to be visited by ladies and gentlemen from other parts of the country. Certainly, during the extra Con gress large numbers will embrace the opportunity of paying us a friendly visit, for which they will be amply repaid in the - gratification afforded in familiarizing themselves with the imposing milt bay parades and reviews, and civil attractions of the metropolis. Drillings for the Drilled. The Secretary of War was asked by the Chief Engineer to admit linen drillings free of duty for the Military. Academy. The Secretary of War de clines, and recommends the nee of - a domestic manufactured article?' The principle is sound, even if applied to a wider range than the demand for military purposes. Railroad Surrendered to the Di. The War Department are preparing to aurren der immediately to the direotors the railway be• tweets Baltimore and Waehinuton. They will con flates to eontrol the route to Annapolis, -which will be kept open for travel ) and will hold a supervi sion over the operations of the railway west from the Relay House. The Bishop and the President. Bishop WHITTINGTON, the head of the Episcopal Church of Maryland, was grieved to learn that one or two of the clergy of his diocese so far violated the rules of the Church as to omit that portion of the prayer which referred to the Presi dent of the United States. He immediately issued a circular to each clergyman, informing them that tiny are clearly enjoined " by the Word of God to make IMpplicetion and prayer for the. Chief Magi'. trate of the Tinion," and that " alt.. omission ren ders the cleigYrean liable to presentment for wilful violation of bia ordination vow, by mutila tion of the worship of the Church," and " he would in future hold himself bound to act upon any each offence." Major JAMES A. MULLIGAN, of Chicago, h now in Washington, and has tendered his regiment to the President. They are largely composed of the personal friends of the President,and their accept ance is urged by Hon. B. A. Douarnis and other prominent gentlemen.

The Pennsylvania Troops in Baltimore [From the ATM ioan of Saturday-] The military encampment under the command of Brigadier 4.4.eneral Cadwalader continues to be an object of copelderable attraction and intermit to our citizens ' who visit it from morning to night. At an early hour yesterday morning Fort avenue was crowded with vehicles of all kinds, filled with persons anxious to roe the troops. Two full regi ments are encamped on the grounds belonging to the Cuba Mining and timelting Company, and the thilld is on the opposite side of the road, and Imme diately in front of a large brick-yard. The dress parade of the regiments, which took place yester day morning about ten o'clock, was a beautiful affair, and attested the high state of diseipline to which the soldiers have attained. The several regiments, formed into line by the adjutants, opened ranks and saluted their respec tive commandants by a present. The bands then played up and down the line, *hen theeolora were saluted, followed by the usual consultation of officers. It Is worthy of remark that the entire thirty companies, each mustering 77 muskets, appear in fatigue dress, and whilst on parade in variably wear the army overcoats. The field, staff, and other oonlmissioned officers, all appear in their regular uniforms, with fatigue oars. The Baited States Cornet Band, Which is attached to one of the regiments, maids of twenty members, who play charmingly. General Cadwalader has taken up his quarters within the grounds of. Fort Menem, upon the in vitation of Major Morrie z and occupies the large hospital building immediately on the right of the main entrance. Daring yesterday he was called upon by a number of personal friends, residents of this city, and received them very cordially. It may be worth white to state that no persons are permitted to enter within the works of the fort, and but few are allowed to pass the outer gates. As far as the encampments out:tide are concerned, there was scarcely a man in eitieen's dress to be seen within. The fame are that a far better view of the parades and avenues can be obtained from without than within, whilst it is not desirable to any military force, under existing cireumstaneee, to have too many civilians amongst them. Persons who feel disposed to witness the encamp ments and the parades of the men should bear in mind the following routine of dative: Reveille best at four o'clock A. M ; from six to seven the companies drill, after which breakfast is had ; at eight the guard is mounted, and at nine the morn ing parade is had, after which the soldiers have a Teat until noun, when peas on the trencher are partaken of. From three to four o'clock the com panies drill, and at sundown the evening parade takes place. Supper is fixed at seven o'clock, and at ten the tattoo is beaten. The lights are then ex- tingaished, and all the soldiers, with the exception! of the guard, retire to rest. The tents are of the very best kind—such as are need in the United States army—and, stretch ing along the green award in straight linen, pre sent a beautiful appearanee. The number of persona who visited the camp yesterday could scarcely have been less than twenty thousand. Many persons in visiting the camp take the South Baltimore Railway oars, and walk norm the Fort avenue to the grounds, whilst others ride to East Baltimore, and cross the Patetismo in the ferry boats. The regular charge for the ferry is three cents for each paseenger. A. Regiment of Indians.

A Maud of Bonator Douglas has haudod us for publication a copy of the following letter from him on the state of the country: Coteau°, May 10, 1861. My DEAR SIR : Being deprived of the use of my arms for the present by a severe attack of rheuma tism, I am compelled to avail myself of the ear vioea of an amanuensis in reply to your two letters. It seems that some of my friends are unable to comprehend the difference between arguments used in favor of an equitable compromise, with the tope of averting the horrors of war, and those urged in support of the Government and flag of our country, when war is being waged against the United States with the avowed purpose of pro ducing a permanent disruption of the. Union, and a total deetraotion of its Government. All hope of compromise with the Cotton States Was abandoned when they assumed the position that the separation of the Union was complete and final, and that they would never consent to a re construction in any contingency—not even if we would furnish them with a blank sheet of paper and permit them to inscribe their own terms. Still the hope was cherished that reasonable and satisfactory terms of adjustment Could be agreed upon with Tennessee, North Carolina, and the Border States, and that whatever terms would grove eatiefaotory to these loyal States would create a Union party in the Cotton States, which would be powerlul enough at the ballot-box to de stroy the revolutionary Government, and bring those States back into the Union by the vole* of their own people. This hope was cherished by Union men North and South, and was never aban doned until actual war was levied at Charleston, and the authoritative announcement made by the revolutionary Government at Montgomery, that the Seoeraion flag !amnia be planted upon the walls of the Capitol at Washington, end a proclamation leaned inviting the pirates of the world to prey upon the common'e of the United States. These startling facts, taken in oonneetlon with the boastful announcement that the ravages of war and carnage should be quickly transferred from the cotton fields of the booth to the wheat fields and corn fields of the North, furnish conclusive evi dence that it was the fixed purpose of the Sem sionista utterly to destroy the dovernment of our fathom and obliterate the United States from the map of the world. In view of thle state of feels, there was but one path of duty left for patriotic men. It was not a party question, nor a question involving partisan policy ; it was a question of Eloveinment or nc Government, country or no country ; and hence it became the imperative duty of every Union man, every friend of 'constitutional liberty, to rally to the support of our common country, its Govern ment and flag, as the only means of checking the proress of revolution and of preserving the Union of t h e States. I am unable to answer your questions {n respect to the policy of Mr. I,,incoln and. his Cabinet. I am not in thatr:etinfidence, as you and the whole country ought to be aware. I am neither the sup porter of the partisan policy nor the apologist for the errors of the Administration. My previous relations to them remain unchanged ; but I trust the time will never come.when I shall not be wil ling to make any needful sacrifice of yawned feeling and party policy for the honor and integrity of my country. I know of no mode by which a loyal citizen may so well demonstrate his devotion to his country as by sustaining the flag, the Constitution, and the Union, under all circumstances end under every Administration, (regardless of 'party polities,) against all assailants, at home or abroad. The course of Clay and Webster towards the Adminis tration of General Jackson, in the days of Nullifi cation, presents a noble and worthy example for all true patriots. At the vary moment when that fearful criate was precipitated upon the country, partisan strife between Whigs and Democrats was quite as bitter and relentless as now between De mocrats and Republicans. The gulf which separa ted party leaders in those days was quite as broad and deep as that which now separates the Dense orsoy from the Republioans. But the moment an enemy rose in our midst, plotting the dismember ment of the Union and the destruction of the Go vernment, the vela* of partisan strife was hashed in patriotic atlence. One of the brightest chapter! In the history of our country will record the faot that during this eventful period the great leaders of the Opposition,sinking the partisan in the pa triot, rushed to t he support of the Government, and became its ablest and bravest defenders against all assailants until the conspiracy was crushed and abandoned, when they resumed their former positions as party leaders upon political These acts of patriotio devotion have never been deemed evidences of infidelity or political treaohery, on the part of Clay and illebotor, to the principles and organization of the old Whig party. Nor have I any apprehension that the firm and unanimous support whloh the Democrat:lo leaders and manses are now giving to the Constitution and the Union will ever be deemed evidences of infi dol:ly to Demooratio prinoiplee, or a ward of loy alty to the organization and creed of the Demo cratic party. If we hope to regain and perpetu ate the aecendenoy of our party, we should never forget that a man oannot be a true Democrat unless he is a loyal patriot With a sincere hope that theca icy cm:oriel:Moue sonvictions may coincide with thoee of my friends, I am, very truly, your!, STSPBISS A.
