The Disappointments of the Traitors. Almost every important occurrence since the tall of Fort Sumpter has had a direct ten dency to disappoint the sanguine anticipations of the Southern traitors. Up to that period the road of rebellion seemed an easy and attractive one, and, amid loud buzzes and fiendish exultations, the old landmarks of the Republic were swept away, its treasuries plundered, its undefended forts seized, its arsenals robbed, its proud flag insulted, and its authority defied. Bat Rebellion was over whelmingly strong, only while Patriotism slumbered, and, by the first blast of our war trumpet, a spirit was aroused which began at once to rapidly sweep away every hope of the realization of the designs of the con spirators. Looking northward with the expectation of seeing here perpetually a divided and dis tracted people, who would furnish almost as many allies and sympathizers to Jzersesoe DAVIS 88 to ABBVIAM LLICCOLIT, they were dumbfounded by the great uprising which oc curred; by the readiness with which old po litical divisions were obliterated; by the zeal with which the men connected with organiza tions hostile to the existing Administration enlisted in the service of their country. And when the masses they have deluded learn that, while a quarter of a million of men are under arms, the services of more than bait a million have been teudered, they will see the utter folly of contending against us, and the awful Calamities in store for them it they in. sanely persist in their treasonable schemes. Counting upon a divided North, and the cordial co-operation of every slave State, they now not only find in the free States an un broken sentiment in favor of the vigorous pro secution of the war, but Secession completely overpowered in Delaware, Maryland, Ken tucky, and Missouri, and many resolute op ponents of its heresies still publicly denounc ing it in Virginia and Tennessee. Expecting Washington to be so completely cut off from all communication with the North that it would fall an easy prey into their hands, this anticipation has proved en tirely delusive, and they are filled with dire forebodings that their own capital at Rich mond, although surrounded by immense bat teries constructed with stolen cannon, and made the great stronghold of the sacred seiP' of Virginia, cannot long be successfully defended. Boasting that Philadelphia, New York, and Boston would be captured by their victorious armies, from the moment the contest fairly commenced our forces have steadily advanced against them, and step by step they have been compelled to fall back. Holding possession for a time of Baltimore, the Union power la now clearly in the ascendant there. Though they at first resisted the landing of our troops at Annapolis, we have long peacefully occu pied it. The forces they had stationed at Al. exudes we drove away. Raising the stand ard of rebellion in Missouri, their army was put to flight, and the capital, like the metropo lis of the State, is now tinder the control of patriotic influences. Occupying for a time Harper's Ferry, and boasting that it was forti fied in an impregnable manner, they were compelled to abandon it as soon as a serious demonstration was made against them. Suf fering loss after loss, makiag retreat after re treat, nothing has occurred to revive their drooping spirits, or to encourage them, but the assassinations that their "chivalry" have committed, and their ability to murder a few of our brave soldiers by opening masked bat teries upon them. Brandishing their impotent swords, and pa rading their hordes of miscreants for menthe, before Fort Pickens, their promises to speedily subdue it have all been broken, and they bare not even dared to open their batteries against it. Expecting that, through their cotton pro duct, they could exercise a controlling in fluence over the foreign policy of France and Great Britain, they anticipated a speedy re cognition of their independence from these countries, but they now leant that such an idea has never been seriously entertained for a moment by Lours NA'POLEOIII, and that their Special champion in the British Rouse of Commons (Mr. Gemmel') has been com pelled, by the pressure of public opinion, to indefinitely postpone his motion to recognize their eg Southern Confederacy." Counting largely upon the damage that could be effected by their piratical cruisers, they find many unexpected embarrassments arising to check their villainous operations. Our fleets blockade the Southern ports so closely that they not only totally destroy the Commerce of the rebellious States, but pre vent them from warring upon ours. England refuses to permit any of the prizes of piracy to be sold in her ports, and her example in this respect will no doubt be followed by all other maritime countries; while privateer "No. 1," bailing from the treason-batching city of Charleston, has already been captured, and her crew, with the legal penalty of their offence, au ignominious death, staring them in the face, are no doubt fully satisfied, by this time, of the folly, If not of the wicked nese, of their expedition. Taught by their favorite demagogues that the South was by far the richest portion of this country, and that upon her patronage and bounty alone the North subsisted, the traitors apparently anticipated that, while they would have no leek of resources to manage their campaign, we would, from the outset, be almost destitute of means. But now, while each afpesl for pecuniary aid for the Govern ment in the North is freely responded to, in the South credit has been almost totally de stroyed, and it is only upon what that rebel lious section has stolen from us, or refused to pay ns for, that it bases the remaining vestiges of its prosperity. There are absolutely no legitimate means whatever left for replenish ing the exhausted energies of the Secession region, and right well do their leaders now know this fact. To all these calamities the irrepressible negro, in his close and peculiar relations with Southern society, forms a dark and gloomy background. He constitutes the chief ele meat of what Is termed Southern wealth, and if nothing worse happens than the great de terioration in the nominal value of the slaves which has already occurred, that will, of Haat, prove a most tuitions misfortune to their owners, and those who are pecuniarily con nected with them. But while their "market price" has fallen, for thousands profitable employment cannot be found, large num b ers are running away, and in bow many brains horrible plots of insurrection are hatching none can tell; but this is certain, that in some districts a fearful reign of terror pre vails among the white population ; and their own servants strike more terror into their souls than could an army with banners. With such a record to gaze upon as the re- Mgt of the first two months of vigorous au:no rth= to the Secession movement, it cannot re quire a very long period to utterly crush out that =Mural and Infamous rebellion. Ilissis of Tama= LAW Boma, this :afternoon, at, Thomas & Bane motion room. s e , omi a mpos aaa missztionints• Not Wart but Murder. As we read the daily telegraphic bulletins from the scene of hostilities it is hard to re alize that we are engaged in a war. The whole conduct of the Southern traitors has been that of highwaymen and cowards, and not what we should expect from chivalrous soldiers. For two armies to meet in battle array, and fight, is manly and honorable. We feel that those who fall meet the fate of com bat, and even when defeat comes upon ene mies we still respect them, for we know that they did all that brave men could do to gain a victory. Warfare is a sad necessity, but when it is marked by treachery and cowardice it is murder. We had at least expected from the soldiers of the Southern States an exhibition of that chivalrous sentiment, which they pro fess to hold, and which is their most distin guishing characteristic in the eyes of the world. With the exception of the assault on Fort Sumpter (and the difference in force was so enormous that they could afford to he honorable), the armies of the Confederate States have been carrying on this contest in the spirit of an armed and angry mob. They burn and murder, and steal and persecute, bat do not fight. They shoot solitary sen. tinels in the dead of night, fire at officers from an ambush, hang men for being true to their allegiance, tar and feather harmless loners, build masked batteries; but whenever there is an Opportunity for honorable warfare tht3y retreat. They assassinate at Alexandria, but retreat from Philippi; they shoot from am buscade at Vienna, but they abandon Haxper's Ferry ; they murder when the opportunity offers, but when the chances of war are tendered to them they hastily plunder, burn, and steal away. So far as the Southern traitors are con corned, we can hardly expect a different course of warfare. They seem to have ahem cloned every feeling of honor and humanity, in aejnring their allegiance to the Constitution. Their orators exhort them to deeds of rapine, their newspapers glorify assassination, their preachers minister to the fiercest passions of man's nature, and the basest feelings of Digo try and fanaticism; their generals urge them to acts of infamy, by bulletins of calumny and wrath. Where are the gallant natives of the South—the men of other days, who were as tonorable as they were brave—the soldiers of gowpens, New Orleans, and Buena Vista, the descendants or the companions of Maalox, JACKSON, and Timm—the men who did honor to their country and their profession? Bow have we fallen ! Instead of MARIoN, we have BEAT/REGARD, to insult those whom he was once proud to obey; for JACKSON, we have Twtoos, whose treachery has bleached the dark memory of ARNOLD; and for TAYLOR, we have the unprincipled JEFFERSON DAVIS, whose desperate ambition would mount to em pire over the rain of his native land, and the downfall of constitutional liberty. Another Royal Visitor. Prince Nsreuton, commonly called Plan- I" lon, first cousin to the Emperor of the French, has left Paris, with his wife, nee Princess CLO TILDE, 01 Sardinia, on a pretty ostensive tour. They intend to visit Nice, Ajaccio, Tunis, Al• giers, Malaga, Cadiz, and Lisbon. From the last-named capital the lady will return to Paris, while the Prince will proceed to the United States, landing at New York, thence to Nia gara, round to Washington, through Pittsburg and Harrisburg; from Washington to Phila delphia, through Baltimore, again to Now York, and, finally, through Boston, to embaxk from Portland. The whole trip will occupy from three to four months, of which four or five weeks will be in the United States. It is understood that the programme of the Prince's American tour is already planned. It will in chide four days in New York, three in Nia gara (Including the journey thither), two in Pittsburg, one in Harrisburg, ten days in Washington, a few hours in Baltimore, three days in Philadelphia, two more in New York, (seeond visit,) three in Boston, and one in Portland. It is doubtful whether the Prince will sail from Portland, or run up to Quebec and Montreal, and leave the latter place in a French steam-frigate. Prillee NAPOLEON, it Is said, will travel in this country as Count de Montford. He was born in September, 1822, and was married, in January, 1859, to the Princess OLOTILDE, who is nearly twenty-one years his junior. While correcting the proof of the above, we see it given in the English papers, just re. calved by the .6frica, that the Emperor NA POLEON has interdicted Prince NAPOLEON from visiting the United States, but lie will visit Canada. However this may be, the pro gramme which we here have given was so cepted, in Paris, so lately as the 4th inst., as that of Prince Na.ronzon's tour. Mr. Russell on the South. In the London Times of June 6, Mr. Res at= has a letter from Montgomery, dated May 6, in which he says: z‘ Tee apathy which struck me at New York, when I landed, has been succeeded by violent popular enthu slum, before which all Laodicean policy has melted into fervent activity. The truth must be that the New York population did not believe in the strength and unanimity of the South, and that they thoight the Union safe, or did not care about it." He then pro ceeds as follows ; " I expressed a belief in my firs: letter, written • few days after my arrival, that the South would never go back into the Union. The North thinks that it can coerce the South, and I em not pre pared to say they are right or wrong; but I am convinced that the South can only be 'breed back by such a conquest as that which laid Poland prostrate at the feet off Busses- It may be that =oh a (torqued can be made by the North, but eucce-a must destroy the Union as it has been con stituted in times put. A strong Government must be the logical consequence of viotory, and the triumph or the South will be attended by a similar result, for which, indeed, many Southerners are try well disposed. To the people of the . Con tederate States there would be no terror in suchen issue, for it appears to me they are pining for a strong Government exceedingly. "The North must accept it, whether they like it or not Neither party, if such a term can be applied to the rest of the United States and to those States which disclaim the authority of the Federal Go vernment, was prepared for the aggressive or re sisting power ot the other. Already the Confede rate States rruive that they cannot carry all before them unth a ruse, while the North have learnt that they must put forth all their strength to make good a tithe of their lately uttered threats but the Montgomery Goveroment are now, they lay, anxious to gain time, and to prepare a regular army. The North, distracted by apprehensions of vast disturbance in its eomplicated relations, is clamoring for instant action and speedy eon summation. The counsels of the moderate men, as they were exiled, have been utterly overruled. "I am now. however, dealing with South Caro lina, which has been the Eons et origo of the Se assume doeteines and their development into the fall life of the Confederate Steles The whole foundation on which South Carolina rests is cotton and a certain amount of rice or rather she bases her whole fabric on the necessity which calm in Europe for thee° products of her soil, believing and asserting, as she does, that England and France can not and will not do without them.- Cotton without a market is so mush floconient matter en cumbering the ground- Rice without demand for it is unsaleable grain in store and on the field. Cotton at tan cents a pound is boundless pros perity, empire, and superiority, and rice or grain need no longer be regarded In the matter of slave labor South Carolina argues pretty much to this way : England and France require our produotil. In order to meet their wants we must cultivate our soil. Thera is only one way of doing so. The white man cannot live on our land at cer tain seasons of the year ; he cannot work in the manner required by the crops. He must, there fore, employ a race suited to the lobor, and that is a rage which will only work when it is obliged to do so. That race was Imported from Africa, under the motion of the law, by our snoop tors, when we were a British colony, and it has been fostered by us, so that its increase here has been as great as that of the most flourishing people in the world. In other places, where its tabor was not produotive or imperatively essen tial, that race has been made free, sometimes with disastrous consequences to itself and to industry. Bat we will net make it free. We cannot do so. We bold that slavery is essential to oar ezlatenee as producers of what Europe requires ; nay, more, we maintain it is in the abstract right in principle; and some of me go so far as to maintain that the only proper form of society, wording to the law of god and the exigencies of man, is that which has slavery as its basis. As to the slave, he is happier far in his state of servitude, snore civil ized and religious. than he is or could be if free or an his native Africa." Mr. Rl:mama., it will be seen, is very deeply indoctrinated with Southern sentiment and prejudice. Who is Mr, Gregory? The article which we copy from Wilkes' Sprit of the Ti mes, telling the world about the antece dents of Mr. Gregory, the Iriah member of Parlia ment who wants England to acknowledge the so called " southern Confederacy," without the least delay, is written, it will be seen, by the celebrated "Touchstone." The writer, who was eight year. Editor of tho Landon Era, is well acquainted with the subject of his sketch, and, we believe, could have readily related a great deal more, if he pleased. Mr. George Hazeltone, editor of the London American, arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday, and is stopping at the Continental Hotel. Be H a member of the New York bar, and has resided for moral years in England. The London Angersean, lately established, is the only American journal in g mope, and is emaciated with fair n ess, iutd spirit. The Two Congressional Eleetiong in Pennsylvania. Tire Congressional vacancies exist in this State—one in the Second district, composed chiefly of the old city of Philadelphia, which was caused by the resignation of Hon. E. JOT Mona's, and the other in the Twelfth district, composed of the counties of 'Wy oming, Lucerne, Columbia, and Montour, which was caused by the death of Colonel SCRANTON. In this city, from present indica tions, it is to be feared that the patriotic in stinct of the masses of all parties which leads them to deplore, at a period like this, even the semblance of partisan strife, will not be respected, but that a contest nominally based on old political divisions will occur on the 2d of July between opposing candi. dates. In the Twelfth district all difficulty has happily been avoided. The committees of the Democratic and Republican pasties have united in the nomination at Hon. nazi mum B. WRIGHT as a Union candidate, and he will have no competitor, the political pa pers of the district all cordially advocating his election. Mr. Tram= is well known as an ardent supporter of the lamented DOUGLAS during the last Presidential campaign, and has, throughout his whole life, been an active Democrat; while at the last two Congress ional elections in his district, Col. Sceanzon triumphed as a nominee of the People's Par ty. The process by, which this fusion of two great organizations upon one candidate . was effected was very simple and highly credita ble to all concerned. When the Repub lican conference met they addressed a note to the Democratic conference, ex pressing a wish that some unexcep tionable candidate would be selected who weld be unanimously supported by Union loving men, and who was "in favor of the unconditional maintenance of the Union and a vigorous prosecution of the war, until the rebellion is subdued and traitors have laid down their arms." To this proposition the Democratic conference replied that they ap preciated the spirit thus evinced, and endorsed the sentiments which had been expressed. Then followed the nomination of Mr. WRIGHT by both conferences on the basis above stated, and in his letter of acceptance he pledges him self to vote for tt all the supplies that may be needed to meet, promptly and efficiently, the startling emergencies of the times." Atter an eloquent advocacy of an energetic prosecution of the war for the re-establishment of "one country and one flag " over all our dominions, he concludes by truly saying that the spirit of compromise which actuated the Democratic and Republican conferences will arm him with a strength which he could not otherwise pos. sees, of proclaiming himself, if elected, the representative of the whole people of the dis trict. Is there not in this action of the people of the interior something worthy of imitation in the city of Philadelphia ? WASHINGTON COBXESPONDENCE Letter from 4, OceaB7onat. 9, Correepondenee of The rrema WASHINGTON, JAILS 20, 1861 A leading statesman remarked some two weeks ago, that Ragland had so completely complicates herself in regard to the Southern Confederacy, that however she might be driven to moderate her course, she would, nevertheless, do all in her power secretly and stealthily to embarrass the re. gUlar Government of the United States. Lord Lyons, a British minister resident in this city, has undoubtedly been in communication with the S +utters Secessionists, alike before they left Con gress as since they have taken up arms against the Government. The tone of the London Post, Lord Palmerston's organ, is sufficiently explicit an this point, and the entire drift of tho action of the Ministry and those who sympathise with it in Great Britain tends irresistibly to the same egre t:Melon. The double motive of breaking down a free Government and of keeping up the supply of cotton necessary to maintain their manufactures has undoubtedly induced Lord John Russell and his associates to lean to the side of the slave oli garchy on this continent. Both will urquestiona- My be disappointed. Not, only will this Reptiblie maintain itself, but every effort made by Great Britain, through her rulers, to force the blockade, will end in the most calamitous failure. Cline inhuman and guerilla war carried on in. Virginia by the troops of the monarchists, only serves to infuriate the soldiers enrolled under the American frig, and when the opposing forme meet in the open field the eonfliet and the manage will be terrible. Day after day the intelligent ob server must be admonished that the boasted re liance of the Southern statesmen upon the fidelity of the sieves is the most dangerous of fictions. While Mr. Davis and General Beauregard are calling the Indians to arms against the free whites of the North and Northwest, and are threatening Missouri with a savage invasion under the com mand of Ben McCullough, the millions of blacks, free and slave, are not only patiently waiting for the time when they may spring upon their was• ten, but are fully apprised of the events going on around them. The inhumanity of the practices of the Secessionists; their open appeals to European Powers to armlet them in put lug down the only free Government on earth; their remorseless persecution or assassination of every man in the South who dares to doubt in regard to their plans or to refuse to applaud them, and the °entreat furnished by the liberality, the moders. tion, and the patriotism]of the Union eoldiere, have made the most sensible impression upon the ne groes, bond and free. lam not of those who desire to see the property of our Southern people inter fered with. I would unutterably deplore the hor rors of a servile insurrootion. But, as a faithful historian of the times, it is well that I should say that those who have taken the full responsibility of resisting the Federal authority, and of proscribing all who are found in defence of the Amerioan flag, should appreciate the dangers that are rapidly sur rounding them, so that when the tempest is let loose they may cot prove to be wholly un prepared. Is it possible that a war which starts oat with a declaration against free prin ciples, which denounces the people of the free States as ignorant, vulgar, brutal, and inferior, and which, through its numerous agencies, does not hesitate to anticipate the establishment of a monarchy, shall not awaken all those slumbering aspirations in the breast of the ooloriid race for freedom which Southern statesmen have really always secretly feared May not, in other words. this rate be compelled to take some steps of precau tion for their own protection, when they see the war that is wagedwithout mercy upon the whites? A gentleman just returned from Virginia—in feat, one who had been expelled from that State because of his Northern birth—informed me that it was inte resting to notion the assumed ignorance and in differenee of the alaves while in presence of their masters, and that the moment they believed them selves safe and near a Northern man, or one whom they could trust, they brightened into in telligence, and flake of patting events with wonderful accuracy and feeling. He told me that he had several copies of Northern nowarapers in his room, and that frequently the servants would steal up to him, and beg permis sion to read for their own information, greedily devouring every fact and opinion, and then going forth to spread among their fellows that which they had acquired. All these considerations enter largely into the present and the future of our coun try. We cannot ignore them if we would. What is to become of this race—whether it it to be echo nised or returned to Africa—are questions which lie far beyond. We have to do simply with what is now transpiring—not, indeed, what we wish to happen, but what we should be folly prepared for • You will perceive that Mr. Crittenden, who 1 8 running for Congress in the Lexington district, against Mr. Simms, announces his purpose to pro pose terms of peace at the special session of Con gress This programme has been foreshadowed by the Now York Journal of Commerce, Day Book, and Datly News, and is, of coarse, advocated by the Baltimore Situ and other Secession authori ties. I fear our ancient friend, John 3. Crittenden, whose patriotism no one can doubt, will become the mere instrument in the hands of Jefferson Davis. In fact, as you will easily recollect, the very proposition for peace now suggested by Mr. Crittenden, was asked for by Jeffereen Davis in his very laet eonunnnieation to the Maryland Le gislature. The dangerous character of this wig goatee may be realised when you under stand that he does not propose peace upon the heels of recognising the United States Government as it is, but somewhat upon the basis of his own rejected compromise. In other words, and in his own language, , t upon the idea of a fair statement of the grievances under which they labor la the Southern States." These men with arena in their hands, hacked, as they flatter themselves they are, by Great Britain, would, of nom make the recognition of the re bellion a atm qua non. That thin is their intent. Gen can be readily perceived, by turning to the letter of Bishop Otey, of Tennessee, to ticoretary geward. In this production, the Bishop says that a distinguished gentlemen residing in Philadel phia informs him that a large portion of the North deprecate bloodshed and civil war, and that he, the writer of the aforesaid letter, had foot signed a petition to the President to suspend hostilities until one more effort at peaceful conference should be made. The Blabopis plan is this " The peo ple of the South ask only for peace. They say to the Federal Government, take the army, the navy, the =nettle:a' of war, the Treasury, and let us separate) from you in pews ; we will pay you for your ousts and outorn-honsas weed upon our territory, and for the armaments and arsenala we have taken. Then let ua divide." gob au the @shaman of whisk Mr. Crittenden is to be the organ in the forthcoming mild= of Con THE PRESS.---PHILADELPMA, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1561 grass, and it is expected that he will be booked up by such " Democratic representatives" as Hons. Ben Wood, and Delaplaine, of New York, end Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, and wherever, in fact, representative can be found who Is willing to assist the Southern Confederates, by dividing the force of the friends of the Government. Now, no one would more rejoioe to see peace restored to our hap py country than myself, but a peace such as may arise out of one of the foregoing suggestions would be infinitely worse than a long and wasting conflict. Nothing would be more fatal than the true., and interregnum necessary daring the time when the treaty was being discussed. Of course the Elena. ral Government would never agree with the traitors to recognize their Confederacy, and of course the traitors themselves would never consent to an unconditional submission to the regular Go vernment. So, you will perceive, however olergy_ men may pray, or venerable polltioians deplore, there can be no peace until the authority of the Government has been recognized by those who have taken up arms against It.

This city begins once more to wear the ap. peftranee which has characterized it time out of mind. It looks again every inch a capital. ' The few weeks of camp-life serves only to heighten tke return of a less military regime. A short interval of martial life gives a fresh relish to an approachingseason, peace ful and political.

Knowing faces; which look as if they might belong to naem burs of congress, may be seen, where the black brows of war a-whilom frowned. To be sure, too, the usual appendage to Congress, those wise and sagacious men who consti tate the lobby, are also slowly falling, as the dew-drops, upon the just and unjust, for the lobby discriminates but sparely between per sons and things. The hotels are brushing up. Brisk bar-keepere are polishing their odds and ends, for a by-gone weakness of legisla tion has been a partiality of a drop of comfort now and then, the lobby of course partaking with great freedom and fearlessness.

They have selected a differ ent, though, as things are coming round, not less dangerous enemy. The neglected gaming houses, however are not less gloom-ridden, and the deserted gamblers not less down hearted. Few of them remain. Some have gone South ; some have attached themselves to the Confederate army, and some have turn ed from their wicked ways and exchanged honor" for honesty. Alas, poor sinners ! Those that yet remain mope sullenly about. They scowl blackly, and you may discover about them a reckless, hopeless air, the picture of despair. I have heard some talk of raising a subscription to export 'them down to Richmond. The main objec tion seems to be the useless expenditure of means, when the Government can accommo date them all, free of expense, in a very few weeks, to through tickets. The streets are less soldierly now, as I said. Uniforms do not make up two-thirds of the costume of passersby. Plain clothes prevail. The but tons are only occasionally seen glittering in the sunshine. Over the river and in the out skirts the few remaining regiments are camped. The public buildings are, I believe, entirely free. The Capitol is being rapidly prepared for the session. It has been in no way defaced, and will be opened on the 4th as freshly as a summer rose, lull blown. People must not believe the idle stories of the news papers, about injury being done by the troops q artered in our tt marble halla.” An Ameri can soldier is as good as a member of Con gress any day. They have proven themselves decidedly worthy their cloth ; and nowhere more so than in the Capitol, where they were quartered several weeks. It is still pleasant— the weather—fresh and balm, and not over warm. We are hoping it may so continue. The rigor of a Washington summer is famous, but as yet we have had none of the accus tomed sultry days and nights. A breeze is now blowing, at noon, as meetly as it could in spring. As. TRANOHARD. WARRINGTON, June 18, 1861. The Latest from Washington WASIIINVTON, June 20.—The apprehensions that hostilities will shortly commence on the Virginia shore, prevalent to-day, has its foundation is. the fact - that the outposts Of the opposing Armin ere being strengthened and extended. In view of thin, it is supposed that a collision between the out posts would bring on an, extensive engagement; hence the continued anxiety for intelligence from that quarter. The 18th Albany, New York, Regiment arrived to-night, and the 38th, from the > same State, is hourly expected. In order to avoid misapprehension, it is proper to say that the Secretary of the Treasury has not consented, or even entertained, any proposition to tame bonds for any purpose not appellee* autho rised by law. ALSEANDRIA, June 20—Midnight —A state of uneasiness has existed here during the entire day, resulting from a variety of contradictory reports of skirmishes on the Loudon and Hampshire rail road, but the most searching inquiry seems to pro duce no other foots for this alarm thou the ap pearance of the rebel troops in the vicinity of Cloud's mills, and the capture of two non commis sioned officers of the Ist Connecticut regiment while on picket duty, seven miles out from the camp, near Fall's church, and other events whioh newspaper correspondents should not be expected to communicate. The train which arrived at half past 6 o'clock this evening brings no rumors of war, and all is represented ae quiet. There appears sufficient reason, however, to apprehend offensive move- ments of the rebels. There has recently been a renewal of the migration of the residents, and many confident predictions are expressed in Be- OEM= quarters of Ileanregard being here at an early day. The active movements of the United States farces, however, have re-assured the Union men. AU persons were prevented from leaving the city during the early part of the day, but the order was subsequently rescinded. Kentucky Congiesinonal Election.

W.Ollll 41 , 70 N, Jane 20 The New Army Appointments. A reference to the long Hat of new army ap• pointments, published in The Press of yesterday, will satisfy the publio of the groundlessness of complaints which have been made in certain guar tore. It will be seen that a large proportion of the dithers of the new regiments have been promoted from the regular service, and are, for the most part, gentlemen who neve been long known as able and distinguished officers. General titOOTT said, in con versation yesterday with the President and other gentlemen, that, during hie long connection with the eervioe, he had never known so muoh care taken in the selection of officers. The veteran Lieutenant General was emphatio in expressing his approval of these appointments. When the new regiments were called for by the President, a commission demisting of General (then Mein) MoDowaLL, Colonel. FRANKLIN and MUGS, three of the best offiaers in the army, was appointed to fix upon a plan for their formation. It was agreed by this commission, &lad eanotioned by the Seoretary of War and General Boom that half of the officers of the new regiments should be appointed frona the old army, and the other half from civil life More than this has been Cone, for the Secretary of War, desirous to make the army, in every respect, what it should be, and anxious to reward a larger number of meritorious officers, exceeded the one-half determined upon in virtue of the recommendation of the commission referred to. Only a few mond lieutenants have been yet appointed. All the vacancies are to be Ailed by non-commissioned °fame and privates now In the United States army, who may be deemed worthy of promotion. These Riots, which I have from a high military mum reflect great credit upon General Cantatas, who continues indefatigable. A Dodge. It has leaked out among Virginia Secessioniets that the removal of the Confederate Congress to Richmond was merely a dodge to win over the wavering in the State to the rapport of Jaws , . Davis's Secession movement. There was no in tention to make Richmond the plasm of perms Dent orounaney; the obje4st being to secede" at their convenience whenever it was in the interest of leaders to do so. The portable Government of Jumuncon D. dr, Co. is not difficult to tronrcort, and Virginians need not be surprised at any time to learn that it had gone off in the last train. More Troops Arriving.

Massaohnsette Regiments have gone into cam p above Georgetown. where, while they are in imme diate proldmity to Gen. MoDowarx's column of the army, and are ready for duty on mill, they at the same time espy all the advantages of air sad shade. They will remain only a few days for drill exercise, when they will advance into Virginia. The. Pennsylvania Regiments now in and near this City are attracting their fell share of public attention. The regiments which have recently arrived from the old Key stone are second to none. The soldiers are a brave, determined set of fellows, well clothed, and equip ped with all the neoassary accoutrements. They seem perfectly contented but, like their prods oessors, are " spoiling fora fight." Return of the Rhode Island Regiment. Tho First Rhode Island Regiment were ordered into Virginia on the 9th, and returned on the 191 h, having in ten days panned through Harrisburg and Chambersturg, Pa., anti marched over a large portion of Western Maryland. Leaving Williams port, they merched to Middletown, thirty-five miles, in one day. They were enthanastioally re ceived there. They were met by a large prom. lion with music, and escorted into the town, in which nearly every house was illuminated in honor of their arrival. They arrived at Frederick on Teosday morning, where the municipal authori ties had tin excellent breakfast prepared for them, and the citizens vied with each other in doing them favors. The regiment returns as bright as lords, without a sick man, and suffering only with bilker ed feet from long marches in hot weather. The Case of Mr. Harvey. Under the aboveeaption, - our venerable ecnienr- Porart, the Intslizgenter, to-day, after some pre liminary remarks, says : " Whatever may he the oharaoter of tha eft dance upon which imputation:, have been oaat on the loyalty of Mr. Harvey, it is at least apparent that either a most unwarrantable liberty has been taken by some member of this *confidential corn mission, or that the sensation press has greatly abused its privileges by assuming to possess con fidences' which are wholly supposition." The Intelltgeneer does the examining commit tee, or " oonadential commission," great injustioe in insinuating a breach of trust. While they are under obligations of secrecy, which they undoubt edly sacredly observe, the Government is under no such restrictions ; and through that source the "sensation press." to which class our very respee tsble contemporary certainly does not belong, pro bably obtain that information on which they have based their eomments en the cedidnet of Mr. gar. vay. To suppose that Mr. naltvarie cage is pub li led with any other feelings than those of mortii. noation and sorrow, is a gratuitous insinuation. Henry Teams en route.

Sp e cial Atiiitary Appointments from .Missouri. The followers of the Secessionists in Missouri, and their continued eta** upon the troops of the Government, have impelled the Administration to adopt the most vigorous measures for their sup pression, and I understand that the post of Briga dier General, in ooneequenee of the threatened aondition of affairs in that State, has been eon ferred upon Senator „Tawas K. LAMB, and that the celebrated Captain MOZIVIONIIRY has been appoint ed a colons'; so that you will perceive that Glover- BO? SACISSON, ZIXIS S. Grusin, and their susaad ates, will be well opposed by the leaders of the ultra party in Kansas . Governor Hicks, or Maryland. The entrance of the soldiers of the Rept:bile upon the soil of Maryland has greatly strength ened Governor Mc's, and enabled him to take bold and fearless ground on the side of the Consti tution Ali doubts in regard to his fealty may Doff be dismissed.

A libel had been sled in the District Court for this District, by the United States and the captors, to condemn that vessel as a prise, the °ergo being valued at $22 000, for violating a blockade of the ports of Virginia. The court, in reply to the reepondent, says that the blockade being one of the rights inoident to a state of war, and the President having in sub• Ranee asserted civil war to exist, Is of opinion that the blockade was lawfully proclaimed by the President. As to the next inquiry, when did the blockade become tractive, the court says that notice, actual or oonstruotive, will do, and there does not appear in the cause any evidence to show that the United States government agreed to relax the law of blockade, so as to allow British vassals to load oar goes and come out of port after a knowledge of the effective blockade was brought home to them. It also appeared in the evidence of the master, Captain Layton, that be heard in lidel:noneof the blockade as effective before be began to load his cargo, and was informed that it commenced on the Zd of May. All the evidence concurs in showing that the cargo was laden on board the Tropic Wind en the 13th or 14th of May. No principle of prize law seams better settled than that each lading 'violate, the blockade, and forfeits both the venal and cargo. There must, therefore, be a condemnation of both. The court, however, still bold under future advisement the ultimate determination of a ques tion of foot, respecting snob an alleged relaxation of the strict law of blockade in fever of British ships, as would have allowed the Trope Wind to load her cargo and come oat of port after having re ceived information that the blockade had been es. tabliahed.
