The navigation of the Potomac will be preserved at all hazards. The Virginia troops, nnder Gen Lee, have been withdrawn from Alexandria, iu consecjootjce of the active military movements of the Government on the right bank of the Potomac, and it is sap. posed that be is concentration bis whole furce at Richmond, in expectation of an attack Bpon that city. M Alien ON ALEXANDRIA. Washington, May 5. TLe Zonaves of Col. Ellsworth, it is believed will march on Alexandria to-morrow. It is not probable that a battle will ensue, inasmuch as the secession forces have been withdrawn. This is the first aggressive move on the part of the Government at the expiration of the twenty days' grace. The Seventy first Regiment have been sworn into the United Stutes service for three months, and a detuchmentment which bad gone down to Potomac in a gunboat seized a tchooner, loaded with provisions for the rubols on the Chesapeake, and placed ber under tbo guns of the Cumberland. It is evident, indeed, that not only will the direct route from the North to Washington bo ro-opened, but also the obstructed navi gation of the Potomac be secured at ell hazards. Tho military movement nboot being execu ted will plainly ehow the in tout ions of the Government in regard to treacherous Mary laud. The object of seizing Alexandria is, cot only to get possession of the Custom House, but to open the canal there for the passage of Cumberland coal, which is the best coal burned in locomotives and steamers. The Wur Department has issued an order creating what is to be known as the Depart ment of Annapolis, to embrace the city of Annapolis und the liue of railroad from that city to Bladensburg, within seven miles of this city, and twenty-one miles on each side of said road, which includes llaltiruoro, and tho samo published order makes liri?adier General Li. 1 Butler cotnaiander of said department.

The Lieutenant of the Company then addressed his men, saying that "the Ualtimoreans, who "owned the rood. coold not keep them back "They came to fight, and would, if necessary "go it on foot. He thanked God they were "not among enemies, but among friends. "The hospitality and kindness of the people "of Sunbury was already known, aod they "would be provided for free of expense, ontil "they could leave in the morning." Having by this time Goished the lunch furnished by the ladies, they gave three cheers, and marched to their quarters in the Conrt llooso The company left in the 10.30 train, next morning. f JT Patriotic The papers are filled with notices of the activty and liberality of tome of our wealthy citizens in raising and equip, ping troops. The Danville papers notice: amnnir others, the potriotic efforts of Peter Baldy, Sr., who, besides contributing lurgely to the volunteer fund, is giving bis houses ront free to those who leove families behind. At Williamsport Mr. l-'uries lias made the same offer. At tho Cambria Iron Works, Johnstown, Mr. Morrell, the managing lessee, told his workmen, who have volunteered, that their wives end children should have, at his store, all that tbey needed, without money or price, as long us the wur lusted. At New York more than fifty millions of dollars could be raised for tho Government. U m. It. Aslor alono offers to give four mil lions, and loan ten millions more if necessary. ET Tue SiLiss-Uiiovii Tmii!, a Breckin, ridge organ, with strong arresxion sympathies contains a lugubrious account of an attack made on the publishers of that paptr on account of io approval of the policy cf Southern trailurs, from which we make the following extract: Accordingly, on the ISth day of April, whilst engaeJ in the legal and ppacelul pursuit of his own business, a crowd ol snverul hundred per sons assailed the editor of Ibis paper, and by hor rid oath, insulting clamor, and violent threats, endeavored to intimidate him. or create a preteit for tho purpose of treating his person with vio lence, the lwtt r of which they most desired.

Of these fact every citizen of this town and county is cognizant, and we here put it upon record, and request every one of onr subscribers to preserve this number ut our paper for future reference." While we du not approve of the violence refer" red to, still we should not like to have siuh a record of our patriotism handed down to posterity, and would say to our neighbor, instead of asking his subscribers to preserve that number, for future reference, he had better advise tlura to council it to the flames, as i t is filled with dilo) al arlicles and extracts from the New York Day Book, a secession Journal of no influence or standing and only notorious tor its exclusivo devotion to tho South. These nre, no times to draw nice distinc tions. man must cither be for or against' the rebel traitors. jF A United Nonm. Tho Sooth has been laboring undr a dulusion that tho peo ple of the North could never be united, judging from the policy of some truckling politicians, they had some reason. The editor of the Mobile Register, at first doubted tho reports that Douglas, Buchanan, Fillmore Cass, Gov. Sprague and other leudiog men of the North were all determined to sustain the Government, but now admits tho truth, and with amazement remarks: ' Here is a representative man of every shade of northern conservatism. We con less that this conincidence and simultanenosuess of action on the part of men who are wider apart by their antecedents than even by their places of residence, lakes ns by surprise. We endeavor in vain to explain it by the supposition that these gentlemen consider Lincoln's proclamation a declaration of war between country ond country, in which they ure not as loyal citizens permitted to select sides according to their own convictions as to tbe justice of war. Were this the explana tion, why this hot haste? why the endorse- ment of the justice or constitutionally of tbe war. We are then ft rced to the conclusion that the whole public mind of the north bas been seized with ono of those manias by. which Providence sometimes smites au entire people." C3 Aunes op Sorento is the title of tho New Romance which Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has just written for the Atlantic Monthly. Tbo first pages are given in the May number ol that work, and tho manner in which the story opens assures us that its publication will add to the already brilliant reputation of this most popular cf Aoieriuau authors. This story is ono of love and duty, of joy and trial. Its heroine is a young girl, born in a Catholic country und educated under the influence of Cathulie institutions, and in the devulopemeut of the plot the author bas sought to illustrate the influences of that creel upon the lives aud characters of its votaries. From the intense interest in this (object which bas been manifested by the people of the United S lutes within the pust few years and tho fact that it has entered so largely into the discussion of the political as well as religious questions of tbe time, it caouot be doubted that Mrs. Stowe'i elucidation of it, through the medium of fictitious narrative, will cause it to be as widely sought for aud as eagerly purused as her previous brilliant contributions to American literature bave been. Snow. The weather, the past ten days, has been cold, wet, windy and disagreeable. On the 2d there was quite a snow storm at llarrisburg Peters' Mountain was wbile wiib suow on Saturday. At Mt.

M if si; ii, Esq.., Dear ."ir : I see something stated in your paper about tapping the Columbia Dam. This should be done by all means. The dam has been a nuisance to Pennsylvunia ever since it was tuilt. Shad-fishing has been destroyed along the whole river, wii'ch was worth mure to Penn sylvania than all the canals ever buil', and brought money than the canals ever did. Sixly years ago Pennsylvania was contending with Baltimore to keep their gill nets out or the Bay. LSut they are still there u:iJ stop nil' all the best shad c nning up the river. There is a law that requires the schutcs at the lower dams to be so erected, on to permit fish tocime up the river. But they do riot obey ihe law, and I say any city or State that will kill and murder our soldiers, ought to have no favors shown them by our Slate or Government. They want to complain about their Dingers, and Net try to make slaves of our poor whites along Ihe live, by this dam. This would be Governor Ourtin's lime to en force onr rights, and Lincoln's loo. I am going to cummer ce fishing for shad next week, but don't know whether it will pay. I hear that there is a break in the Unlutnnia nam wnicn is ail tne better, and I will close by saying if the Governor knew ull about this dam hu would attend to it.

We arrived at West Chester at 7 in the evening, aud were marched oat to the camp ground, near the town. This is tbe Fair ground, and con tains tbe usual tempotary buildings and cattle sheds. The fanners had brought in plenty of straw, aud our men were mudo tolerably comfortable in the sheds, originally designed for sleek Durhams, Devons, Aluerneys, and other neat cattle, and for Chester county. Berkshire, and other pnrkors. These fair grounds are ol modern date, and are admira bly adapted for encampments, and as a gul laot officer remutked, seemed to be providen tially designed for the benefit of our soldiers.

JFTF. DAVIS WANTS TO RKSIGN. There are sundry rumors afloat to-day to tbe effect that Jefferson Davis intends taking command of the Southern army io propria ptssona, aod will jo consequence resign the Presidency of the C. A. If tbe rumor is truthful, yon can set down bis intested resig nation as an end, not a means an ead which be bas sought to accomplish ever since tbe secession of Virginia. By a provision of tbe Montgomery Constitution ; tba President is made i-ouimaoderio chief of the army aod navy, and of tba militia of several States when called into actual service. And else where it is provided "tbat io case of tbe inability to discharge tba powers and duties of the said office, tbe same shall devolve 00 the Vice President, and in case of tbe disa bility of both, tbat tbe Congress sball declare what officer sball act as President, unlit tht disability be removal,'' : : At un" v tmv nnnKM. i' "pHirht- i. ! j ,i o r 'reived here, . .v .inn th,- v ,.

It is generally believed bere. to nlijlit, that tbe main object of the concentralinn of troops at tbe Relay House, below Baltimore, looks to a demonstration Which will effectu' ally check-mate tbe designs of the Secession ists. In order that the President should carry into eOect his proposed purpose of retaking all tho public property, Harper's Ferry most necessarily be one of tbe first points to bear tbe brant of a collision. VIIIOIMANS CONCENT RATI NO AT tlARFKR'R FKRR Y. There Is reason to believe that the Virein fa rebels have appreciated this fact, for they have, within the last lortyeisht hours, been concentrating in the vicinity of Harper's ferry. 1 hey boast of haviug V000 men in arms there, but authentic accounts fix tbe number at 3400. SENT UOMR IN DtSQRACK. Over one hnndred and fifty of the Zouaves hava been deprived of their places in the 'inks, their uniforms taken from them, and then sent borne. They crept into the company through the nasty manner in whicu tha regi ment was formed. Several New York detectives ara here "spotting" other disreputable characters, who will be subjected to like humiliating treatment. A vioonons m.ockadk. 1 have been informed by ono of tho officers in commaud of the blockading squadron tbat it is the intention of Ihe Government to enforce the most vigorous blockade.

It has been tedded to reluko the Nuvy Yard at Goeport, the Armory at II nrper'a Ferry, and hold Norfolk. Also, to take possession of Alex andria, and establish their head quarters nt Richmond. It is the intention of tho Admin istration not to go farther South than this for the present. To insure the safety of the capital, troops will nlso be 3ent to Western Virginiu, where the people uro anxious for their arrival. FKW PIK AND NONE TlEStn.V.

Baltimore, May 6 Yesterday morniog at un early hour, the thirty Car loads of troops from Washington, (said to bu the lvghth New York and Sixth Massachusetts regiments), under the command of Brigadier General Butler, reached the Relay House, a few miles below this city, and at one proceed to take possession of it. The troops number ing 1600 men, were followed by their cump equipage, and had, beside mnekets and small arms, several cannon and howitzers. They possession of Mr. Lucketl's and Talbot's farms established a camp, and announced that if any hostile demonstration was made, they should fortify the neighboring heights TELEOrtAI'l! rot.ES CUT DOWN. They are said to have cut down tba tele graph pules on '.he line west of Relay, so as to prevent communication between Baltimore and Harper's Ferry 'i he Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is u!o held to prevent for wardiug supplies to secession troops in Vir ginia. There was intense excitement in the vicin ity and many cf the inhabitants, frii;hteued, foolishly left, somo coining to this city, Wakhino-ton, May C Thomas Witians has refused to serve as one of tbe five Seces' eiouists, and un equally ardent traitor bas been nominated in this place. The Winans' youug and old, already behold visions of A triumplialarch, like a tavern sign, Willi gui lands of liemp around it eutwinrd. So strong is the feeling against Winans, that uolhiog but bis speedy cuplure and death will satisfy tbe people, Senator Chandler, or Michigan, said iu my hearing yesturduy, that if Winans' is not bung, be will resign bis 6eat in tbo United States Senate. Mr. Chandler complains tbat tbe Govern ment does not accept more troops from tbe Northwest. Ho says there are now fix hwf dred thousand in tbut section of the country alone under daily drill, auxoius tor active Service. Col Colt's offer of a regiment, furnished at bis own expense, is considered here aa a very necessary practical exhibition of bis eluveulh hour repentance. Though bis reciuient may do tbe Blate some service, the belief that it is raised to save bis own neck does not inspire ns guuerally with an exalted idea of bis pulri otism. It is well known that be tilled large orders of arms for tbe South as long as be could do so witb unpuuity; and it is also charged upon bim that be put twenty live per cent, extra upon all arms sold to the North since the inception of tha present war movement. Major Anderson arrived here in Company with Cyrus W. Field, yesterday moring.
