Eljt SATURDAY. JUBE 15, 1861 it Beat that standard sheet Where breathes the lie bat falls before as? With Freedom's soil beneath ear feet, And Freedom's banner streaming elm as! A Letter and a Speech. Mr. ISPFEBSON Davis has inflated a letter upon the people of Maryland, and a speech upon the people of Virginia. They are very brief, and have been given to the readers of Tux Palms. The letter was evidently written for the Northern States and European Go vernments, but the speech could not have been intended for any other latitude than that in which it waa delivered. The letter is all tenderness, dignity, and peace—the speech is insulting, implacable, and malignant. In the letter he disavows all intentions but those at harmony, in the speech he threatens to drench Virginia with Northern blood. He strokes „Maryland with the velvety paw, and excites Virginia With the bloody fangs. To the Old Dominion he as speaks plain cannon, fire, and smoke, and bounce," while to Maryland he asps My tongue shall hush again this storm of war, And make fair weather in your blustering land. The impudence of the epistle is only equalled by the arrogance of the address. The sangui nary conspirator assumes a tone of the most virtuous indignation. He writes of " his Government" with more than imperial pomp, and seems anxious to impress upon the world that he has actually a it Government," and that he is actually a ruler. He is glad to know that Maryland sympathizes with the conspiracy, and he expresses a deep solicitude in her efforts to overthrow the Federal autho rity in her midst, hoping that at no distant day she will It unite her fate and her fortunes with those of the Confederacy." ic In defe rence to the State of Maryland," Mr. Davis condescends to assert that his "sincere and earnest desire is for peace," and to that end he will " readily entertain any proposition from the United States Government," but the conduct of the United States towards his " Government" forbids Jinn to renew any pacific proposals. We see in this studied effort coolness, cau tion, and shrewd diplomacy. We have the wily Mr. BEarsista in every line. In the speech, however, Mr. DAVIS unbosoms self. Called upon by an angry mob, he can only speak angry words. There is no cautions cabinet to measure his phrases, or curb his impetuosity. The people of the North, ac cording to him, have "shown themselves incapable of appreciating the blessings they have inherited," and cc are to-day stripped of the liberty to which they were born." Not Only this, but they have actually cc allowed an ignorant usurper to trample upon the prero. gataves of citizenship, and to exercise pow. era never delegated to him." This rebuke of the Northern people, we must say, they will certainly appreciate as the sublimity of impu. dance, while the solicitude of Mr. Davis, in relation to this "ignorant usurpees” exercise of unconstitutional powers, will only serve to strengthen the conviction. The tg gratifies- tion" of having severed a connection at once BO odious and distasteful to highborn gentle -Gmf„the South, as the Union has shown cc maittever, to the for, says Mr. Davis, " every gitlinitta.. beats high with indignation at the thought that the foot of the invader has been set on the soil of old Virginia." But even this imperious orator has his mis givings. He admits that the traitors commence with many embarrassments, as their econo mies have in their hands the results of se venty years' taxation." He mighthave given us some interesting statistics relative to this taxation. He might have told his auditors of the millions we gave to purchase Florida, to pay the debto of Texas, to drive the Indians from the homes of these tc brave people," to erect magnificent buildings in New Orleans and Cbsrleston, and to establish forts along the seaboard coasts for the safety of their commerce ; he might have told them of the millions we have been annually expending to protect their frontiers, to advance and dove lop their agrictiltaral Interests, and even to pay the postage on their letters. And he might also have told them of the millions we have to pay to make good the deficiencies lett in the Treasury and War Departments by Hownim Goan and Joan B. FLOYD. Seventy years of taxation" have been more than ex hausted by four years of plunder. Mr. DAVIS will keep recurring to fgt.% la.. there." He evidently longs fora pedigree, and would like ic to stand for fame on his forefa thers' feet," whoever they may have been. "When the time and the occasion comes we will smite them with manly anus," he declares, it as did our fathers before us, and as becomes their sons." The Virginians have but one mis sion, and that is ec vengeance upon man,"—to the Northern armies he leaves the task of gc in sulting helpless women," and the ft base acts of the assassin and incendiary." Every news bulletin from the South shows us that in these latter accomplishments we may have to dread the great experience of these cc manly sons," for the story of this rebellion has been a story of proceedings as infamous as those he attri butes to our armies. His hordee are even now in northern Maryland endeavoring to de bt:My the great works of improvement which line the Potomac shore, and no one certainly tan read elite fate of the lamented ELLOWOECTU without feeling that a man may be a Virginian and an assassin. It is not in the nature of Mr. Davis to make a speech without an allusion to Buena Vista. That one battle has been compelled to make the repntation of any quantity of generals, colonels, anti captains, but no one has used it with so ranch skill as the en-Senator. Any number of officers were as brave as Mr. DAVIS, but what is the use of being brave if the peo ple don't know it ? Mr. DANIS takes care that the people shall know it. Like the Jacobite lady in one ot Bcorr's novels who gave a breakfast to Casings I, in her early days, and never commenced a story afterwards without alluding to ct what his Majesty said at the dejeuner; Mr. Davra, baying commanded a regiment in a successful battle' constantly insists upon telling some story about his conduct in that contest, or snaking an allusion to the bravo Mississippiams inspired by the example of their commander. We have the old Buena Vista story here as emphatic as ever. tr We will make the battle fields of . Virginia," he says, another Buena Vista, and drench them with blood more precious than that which flowed there." This terrible boast mast furnish consoling reflea hone to the people of Virginia who are asked to shed their blood to further the aggrandize= snout of an ambitions traitor, and do their part in overturning this beet of Governments. Mr. DAVIS asks for blood in his speech, and for peace in his letter. He shall have both. The blood will be that invoked by a conspiracy each as the world has seldom seen, and the peace which he can only enjoy will be that of the wicked, when they cease from troubling, and the weary when at rest.- The Hoveraent at Harper's Ferry. The reported evacuation of Harper's Ferry 'ity the main body of Gen. Jonsson's • forces perhaps needs further confirmation before it should be entirely credited ; but it is not an improbable movement. So large a body of loyal troops has been arrayed against that post t h at its capture was almost inevitable. Its successful defence by our enemies would have required contiderable reinforcements, to ena ble thew to keep open their communications, and to resist our attacks, and a sufficient imm. ber of men ter this purpose ,could not well be spared from an army which has so much to engage its attention 'at lienatons Gap June- Sion, at Richmond, and in Eastern Virginia. It is posaible the traitors hare preterred strengthening their positions at the three lat ter points, to risking the loss of Gen. Jem mies forces, and that they design diminish lag the area or their operations in Virginia, sad concentrating their whale army in a corn pustirely limited space. ""Fast Pay" of the Rebels. Alike trite and true is the adage, that, when the devil gets into trouble, he becomes esti gums, or at least affects to be. The same maybe affirmed of his emissaries. They are like swallows, of whom it is stated that they never make a noise until they are caught in a storm. To these rules, it would seem, Jim- PERSON Davls and his rebel horde do not constitute an exception. Having been disap pointed in their hope of capturing Washing ton, and finding that their canes, like their chickens, have come home to roost, and that their et Confederacy" is about to undergo es spontaneous combustion," they are turning their attention to a quarter, whence it Is not likely they have ever directed their attention before. They have actually betaken them selves to fasting and prayer! Thursday was the day set apart for these praiseworthy pur poses, by virtue of a special “Preetematum,'' emanating from the chief of the Rebels.' As to the propitiation of offended Deity through the medium of their stomachs, we rather opine the largo majority of the Rebels have been on very low diet, for some months past. They have been fasting from necessity —for the want of something to eat, and it is still "Hobson's choice" with them. It did not require, therefore, an Executive manifes to to cause abstinence from immoderate in dulgence of the appetite, and it was hence more easily kept than broken. Coupled with the fasting process, it was, likewise, to be a day of Humiliation." Very sensible, truly, for if ever any community on earth have had cause to cover their faces with shame, and their heads with sack-cloth, it has been the Rebels. Engaged in a foul conspiracy to overthrow the beat Government ever given to man, and seeking to accomplish a most wicked end by the most profligate means, they ought to make daily confessions unto God, and abase themselves in the dust. We trust they did so Thursday, as their Rebel chief enjoined, and that their humiliation was as sincere as their iniquity has been great. But what avail confessions, fastings, prayers, and humiliations, without reformation 7 The Rebels can only convince the world, and the Supreme Governor of the world, that their observances are sincere, and that they merit forgiveness, by abandoning their evil courses, and demean ing themselves hereafter as good and loyal citizens. When they shall have cemed to do evil, and shall have learned to do well, then will their new moons, and their fast days, and their solemn assemblies, command approval in heaven and respect on earth; but as long as they persevere in their present unholy crusade against the Government, the Consti tution, and the Union, they will be no more nor leas than an abomination in the sight of God, and of all good and virtuous citizens. _ Letter from Chamberaburg. (Correspondence of The Press.] ORAMBSUBBOII4, Atilt 14,1661. The troops now here, at the different camps, ex pest to take up their line of march for Greencastle sometime to morrow. The Connecticut regiment was inspected last night, and ordered to prepare rations for four daps. The WisConsin regiment are encamped at Camp Chambers, near the Penn sylvania Eleventh, Colonel Jarrett. They have not get received their cartridge-boxes and oar ponehes, and express a great deal of regret at the delay in furnishing them these necessary articles. The Third Brigade, commanded by Col. Miles, of the Second Infantry, TJ. B. Army, left Camp Brady yesterday evening, at 4 &dock, it is trap posed for Frederick. The brigade consists of five companies of the Third Infantry and two com panies of the Ssoond Infan of the reviles army, and also the atteenth Regiment, Col. Zeigler; the Thirteenth, Col. Rowley, and the Ninth, Col. Longueeker, Pennsylvania volunteers. Toe regulars number about five hundred, and the volunteers about twenty. flee hundred men. The column presented a splendid appearance 511 It moved eff, and seemed to be animated with a new enthusiasm at the prospect of soon seeing the enemy. _The Twenty-fourth Regiment, Colonel Owen, is now the only regiment left at Camp Brady, and it is hourly expecting to move. The men are all in excellent health, there not being a ga p Ayss • ick list, and Colonel Owen ria. in which among the men remain ifisitYM llls I visited the hospital this morning, end found only some twenty.five there, the majority of whom were down with the dierrbcos It is estimated that the force now here, and advancing Booth from this point, is upwards of twenty-five thousand mon. There has been some delay in the move• meat, owing to the want of transportation. The Third Brigade ware under marching orders for two o'clock Thursday morning, but owing to the non-arrival of the wagons that had trans ported the eamp equipage of the first &damn, it was unable to start until 4 P M , the wagons ar riving at 1 P. M., and tents being sty ok and everything got in readiness to start in the ehort spies of three haunt We have just received news of the destruction of the bridge at Harper's Ferry and the retreat of the iebel forces. The news of the burning of the bridge by telegraph is oonfirmed by two Vir ginians, arrived here from Hagerstown, who es caped from the rebels, near Harper's Ferry, yes. terday. They say they saw the bridge burning last night Both are strong Union men, and declare they left hundreds behind them who are praying for the approach of the Federal forces to protect than in their lives and property. There is a great deal of conjecture as to what Will be Gen. Patterson's course in the event the rumor of the retreat from Harper's Ferry proves true. The men are greatly disappointed at it, as it spoils the chance for a fight, which they felt sure of there. It is thought that the reboil will retire to Ma nassas Junction and then join the main body of the army, and that our troops will follow them, uniting with those who are advaneing fuses Wash ington and returning to that city, ready to oo•ope rate with the main body of our army in a grand demonstration against. Jeff. Davis and his whole force. Letter from a Plailadelplua Volunteer The following letter was received yesterday from amember of Company I, _First Artillery Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers.

Bivouacked for the night about nine miles from Washington, on Mr MoCutchin's farm, near Leeeborough. Plenty thunder and lightning, but little rain. Well it was so, or we should have had the romance Of sleeping upon the grassy carpet of Nature, with the starry canopy of heaven as a covering, " played out." Took np our bade (two blankets, and a knapsack as a pillow) and wailied.to this place, which is about sixteen miles from Washing ton, where we arrived at 10 SO A AL Found New York Ninth and lint New Hampshire Regiments here. The Ninth left this morging. home of the " boys " went down the city (which is a ewes. don hole) and stunk the fg stars and stripes" where lately had been floating a C. 13 A. flag, upon the court house. The citizen' didn't like the idea ; but they had to put up with it. Oar colonel, who marched on foot all the way here, in the hot sun, with his men, fearing the boys might, without awaiting orders, do the Seetesienlids harm, tailor- . bidden us to leave the ground where we are sta tioned. We expected to march on towards Har per's Ferry last night, but didn't do so; hope we will to-day Expect tall fighting there, and are prepared to do it. Boys in first-rate humor. Com pany I (emallest men in the regiment) -gave three cheers upon leaving their beautiful encampment at Kalorama for the fray. They stood the march liks old soldiers, without a complaint. Sergeant M , who was very sick, and one of those recently reported by the doctor as not At for a march, walked the whole way, although the doctor told him to get in the ambulance. He looked badly, but stood it well. Sergeant S. and Corporal G. look Arst-rate.

WASHINGTON Letter from 6 g Ocestaletiel." (Correspondence of The Frees.i WASHINGTON, June 14, 18G1. I trust that Philadelphia in the Coming special election in the Second district, will take a warn ing from Baltimore, which yesterday, while the star-spangled banner was floating over her people, decided against the country and in favor of its anemia. This was done by the concentration of all the disaffeoted elements against the oandidate of the Union. Let Philadelphia take good oars that she is not surprised into the choice of an In efficient or unpopular candidate on the 21 of July, or that, by dividing the friends of the Government, she does weer) the triumph to its enemies. The population of the Second distria is composed of Citizens of integrity, patriotism, and loyalty, and they owe it to themselves to send no man to Con gress who will not be able to speak authoritatively in their behalf, and whose Words will not have a potential effect upon the representatives from other sections. I notice that ants of the professional politicians are at work as usual. Why, in God's name, cannot these men stand back in an hour like this? Why should they attempt, by their selfish intrigues and personal ambitions, to mislead sod divide others? They have had control before when the country was at peace, and have prospered by;making polities a trade, and, after our troubles are adjusted, the question is settled, and the people have returned to their avocations, they may again revel upon their ill gained profits and Sourish upon the confidence of those whO never inquire into the management of parties so long as their own welfare is not seriously interfered with. But now, when the /tram is bleeding at every pore, whisn traitor hands are raised against the Constitution, and when, even in your midst, men are to be found in num bers ready to strike hands with the conspirators of the South—at such a time, decency, if not self. respect, should indium the little leaders of party and of faction to hide their diminished heads, and allow the current of a healthful public opinion to •ieve its way. Should these men Named in foiet. log a candidate upon the people of the Second die. triet, the fact wilt be used in the South to show that we are divided into aquas_ It is the bound ea and conscientious duty of the people concerned to put a man into the field of the true grit if roS dible, some young, bravis, eloquent, And unselfish patriot, and send him to Washington, faithfully to represent them, and heroically to support the Go vernment. Let me say , a good word for our Pennsylvania regiments: We hare had so much talk about the manner in which they have been treated, and so much abuse of State and national authorities, that we have really forgotten the Enbetantial and admitted merits of the brave men themselves who itompOfie our military organization now in the field and mustered into -the active service of the United States. We ought not to forget that, while exposing our own weaknesses, and, to borrow isnot very oboe° phrase from poor old Senator Butler, of &nth Carolina, " washing our dirty linen before strangers," other States have bad their peculating officials and ragged regiments, too. I have heard as many complaints against the New Toils authorities aa against those of Pennsylvania. Indeed, a °Risen of New York told me, a few evenings ago, that the Empire State was Irre deemably disgraced by the manner in which she had allowed her politicians to squabble over the money appropriated for the formation and equip ment of her regiments. There has been great trouble in Ohio, not a little in Indiana, and consi derable in Illinois. Only New England seems to have emerged from the necessary preparatory mea sures with almost unquestioned credit, and this by the oornmesion of her rival and sister Blabs& Let ne look at the brighter and batter aide so far as Pennsylvania is concerned. We have twenty. live full regiments in the field, formed under the command of Major General Robert Patterson, with the exception of a few sent forward from western Penasylvania, formed under the command of Major General George B. McClellan. In order to give the number and names of the Colonels, I send the following corrected list ! let Regiment, Col. Samuel Yohe. 24 Regiment, Col. Frederick S.

Some of these officers may be inexperienced and others deficient, yet, I venture to say that no fit de has sent a larger number of accomplished and gallant °Moors into the field than Pennsyl vania. Colonel Samuel Yoke, of the old Teeth Legion, is a seasoned and practised soldier, and Colonel Irwin, of the Eleventh, former Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, under Governor John ston, is a brave officer of the Mexican war, and needs no commendation. The same may be said of Colonel Hem C L )ngnecker, of the Nfinth—a fine soldier, taught in the stern school of Mexico-- a thorough gentleman, and late faithful represen tative. Colonel Pinion Jarrett, of the Eleventh, has the fall °saddens° of his oilcan and men, and deserves it. Of Colonel Francis E Patterson, of the Seventeenth, nothing need be said. No one could have visited his °amp, at Eslorams, with. out being impressed alike by his own bearing and the order and oomfort of his men. Of Colonel Peter Lyle, of the Nineteenth, (National Guards,) Col. Wm. H. Gray, of the Twentieth, (ioott Iseigion,) Col. Turner G. Morehead, of the Twenty aeoond, and Col. Charles P. Dare, of the Twenty third, all that Is required is the simple declaration that they are men who believe in the cause in which they aro engaged, who know the exact oharaoter of the responsibility confided to them, and who will dbcharge all the various du ties of their respective commands. These are the well-known colonels of the regiments ; the others not so well known, have their records and reputa tions to make, and I doubt not will fulfil the expectations of their friends and the country. Among the lieutenant colonels, majors, captains and lieutenants, there are men fit to lead in any and every danger. I cannot particularise without being invidious, but I cannot forbear referring to such fine specimens as Captain Jamie, of the First City Troop, M.jor James H Campbell, captainsW. W. H. Davis, McKnight, and McDonald, of the Twen ty fifth, Lieut. Col. Christ, of the Fifth, Captain Henry Hambright, of the First, Captain Henry B. Edwards, of the Ninth. and Captains Parry, Brace land, Murphy, MoMullin, Maguire, and others of the Philadelphia regiments. It would beimposd hie almost to name all the worthy men who hold ootandadons of captains and lieutenants in those regiments... Mechanics who have left behind them families and profitable busineu, lawyers who have abandoned high practice, physicians, gentlemen 0 fortune—such are the elements to be fatted, not merely among those who hold commissions, but among the rank and file. The material of which ' these regiments are composed was pronounced a few' days ego, by-one et the most ealebrated officers of the regular army, unequalled by any foreign eoldiera, and unsurpassed by the patricide levies of other Staten There are, of course, exoep time bat the mass eampased of seen of noble stature, fine health, intelligence, and pat:dodo devotion to their country. Nor must it be forgot, ten that, apart from these twenty-five regiments, at least that many more are ready to ease. forward in support of the flag whenever the Government needs their service. Among these I particularly enumerate the regiments of Col. McLean, at Pitts burg, accepted by the Secretary of War a few days ago ; that of Cot. Bindein, already organised, ac cepted and ready to march ; that of Jno. K. Mar phy, also accepted ; and that of William B. MIMI, in eanip at Beaton not to speak of the large number in course of discipline at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, and at other camps in different parts of the State, or of the thousands who, grown impatient at the delay !A uden from competition in Pennsylvania, have gone to New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, and enlisted under the command of those having authority from the President to raise regiments or brigades. There is not a town in Pennsylvania, no matter how small, that has not its volunteer re serve ready to march, and this exclusive of the home guard established in each of these localities. In the counties bordering upon Maryland, on the eastern and western banks of the Basquelumns, and upop the borders of Virginia, thousands of Penturlivanians are now under arms, eager and ire ploring to be called into the army by the Federal Government.

The breastworks from Alexandria to Arlington Heights, and several miles beyond both of these points, are assuming large proportions and an imposing appearance. The ZMISIVeI mounted cannon to-day on the breast works which they have erected west of Alexan dria, and along the whole range guns are being placed in large numbers. The (( field " has as earned a most formidable military . appearance. The health of the 20 000 or 21,000 troops in this column continues excellent. It is generally believed here that Gen.

Highly Important to Editors and Pub■ The Government finds itself seriously ember ranted in the management of the present Military campaign by the premature publication of sofficient information to disclose its purposes to the public, South as well as North. Portions of its plan for the movement of the troops have thus bane made known, and enabled the rebels to frustrate the successful execution of them. It is no longer dis posed to allow this to be done, and 'at it is unwill ing to exclude the Press from the advantages afforded by the telegraph, and therefore is reluc tant to absolutely prohibit the transmission of despatahes for publication.
