We learu from him that tbe members of the company enjoy good health and are exceedingly well pleased witb Camp Wayne, and more particularly with the good people of West Chester. They all speak kindly of tbe attentions paid them by tbe citizens of that beautiful village, and especially of our old friend and cotemporary of tbe Village Record, Hon. Henry S. Evans. Tbe statement in tbe papers that the 11th Kegiment was to be removed to Chambers- burg, is not correct. We trust they will teuj-it) at West Chester ontil wanted for uctive service, as they will cot readily get into better quarters, or as pleasaut u oeijjh. borhood. CJT More Vui.cnti:m;s Hktainku at this Placr Another company of volunteers, the Troy Guurds, from Bradford county, was detained at this place on Wednesday, and had to be cured for by our citizens cutil next day. Tbere is some bad management in this mutter. Why volunteers should be so often detained at ibis point, where no provision ia made, for them, either by the Government or the Railroad company, ia hard to say. If the Government wishes to prevent their coming tbey should adopt measures to erret tbeir progress at th b tuning point.

"The fault lies somewhere, and ought to be remedied. Such occurrences, occasionally, might . be over looked, but I heir constaut re;litfaa U irjnjsb!. DGRtEt Trtt CMAItOlf. ; We stated some weeks ago io onr German paper, as matter of aews, that a secession paper io .Philadelphia had been destroyed, and that threats bad been made against a Harrisburg paper, on account of its alleged srmnathv for the Sooth, and also that threats of a similar character bad been made against the Xorthumberltind Comdy Democrat, the ""ner starteu in vnia jjibcoi iui iium reasous. iu... Brl.-cl woo)d Uve ap. peered in tbe American, baa ... , German Compositor neglected to bond it over. The publishers of the Democrat, in their lust paper, deny the charge, and say "their office received no violence, nor has any been con templated ngninst it, 'to their knowledge."- We have no desire to stir op such unpleasant romiuieceoces at this time, when all should be and are, apparently, united against tbe Southern rebel and traitors, nnless com pelbd to do so. Now, the fact Is, that no obe asserted that any violence bad been com mitted upon the Democrat, bat that thrir'. "loud and deep" were uttered against it, is a matter we thought no one would question' and if tbe publishers did not hear of them, they were, perhaps, the only individuals in this place in that blissful state of ignorance. But the evidence does not justify such a conclusion. Why-wus the tone ol their paper so sud denly changed, and why was it necessary to distribute and set over matter that bad been prepared for their paper that week? Whe ther this change waa the result of honest convictions, or tba fear of punishment, we will leave for the conclusion of others. It was, to (ay the least, a most unfortunate .oc currence, which, ullbongb it may be atoned fur, by appurer.t repettance, will never be forgotten. Iu regard to correcting the article io tbe Harrisburg Telegraph, we think the gentle man referred to is sufficiently shrewd la see that he is less indebted to indiscreet friends, who would obtrude upon him a disagreeable notoriety, than to ourselves, io refusing to notice such anonymous allusions, especially when no name was mentioned. He might well exclaim, 'save me fram my friends, I will take care of my enemies." Having taken our neighbors of tbe Aor thumlerland County Democrat to task for volunteering in defence of that arch traitor Bunnot, of tbe New York Iferald, they attempt to reply by showing tbut they have a much larger fl.ig thto our own. This kiud of logic is about as pointed as the wit of our cotemporary. When a mac comes into court with a bad case, and under suspicions circum stances, he necessarily requires strong evi denco to sustain himself, whilst another having a clean record, wants but little testi. mony to show the justness of his case. Now our neighbors of tho Democrat, knowing tbo feeling of tbe people in regard to their course, thought that a big Qag, tike the. "mautlo cf charity," might be made "to cover a multi tude of sius," and therefore hastened to run out as big "a certilicule of character" as possible; As some of our friends msy not know wby we did not sooner prepare oar Bag, it may be propcrto fay, wevere en erg the tiitl tc get material for that purpose, but when a do mand came suddenly for fl annul shirts to equip our volunteers, who were ready to start, our seamstress, who had come to make it, engaged in that more important work, and we sent our sewing machine along to aid that purpose. The true colors of uo editor are beet shown, however, in tbe columns of bis paper. Tbe exhibition of tbe stars and stripes is all well enough, but it is by no means a sgre test of patriotism. It requires something more tban a few dollars worth of bunting to make a true patriot in times like these. Cjr James Oukes, a son of Judge Samuel Oakesof Moutoor county, a Lieutenunt'in tbe U.S. Army, was one of the faithful men who escaped from Texas, after the infumou8 treachery of Twiggs. He thinks that, man for mau, the Southern soldiers, from their fa miliarity witb fire-arms and their bold and reckless nature, are a fair match for Norther ners j and that uo overwhelming force against them Is adviscble. He says the Secessionist) are actuated by the most insane and hostile spirit and thirst for blood and plunder. Latest News. A letter from a lady in Charleston says Gen.

This is understood to be a measure of retaliation fur tbe blockade enfor ced by Lincoln. Norfolk is to be re occupied at en early day. The first step toward the consumation of this project will be the concentration of forces ai Fort Monroe. The Govercment must and will repossess the Navy Yard. It is further believed tbat the Federal troops will be thrown into Virginia from the West, to blockade Harper's Ferry. The plans of Gen.

May 14. Geo. Harney pub lisbea an address to the people of Missouri, in which be calls attention to the military bill recently passed by tbe Legislature, which he regards as an indirect secession Ordinance, manilestly unconstitutional, and ought not to be upheld by tbe good citizens. He says that whatever may be the termination of tbe present condition of things lo respect to the Cotton States, Missouri most share tbe destiny of tbe Union. All ber material interests point to this result, and so important is this regarded to 'be great interests of the country, that venture tbe opinion that tbe whole power of tun wiiiivu Dimes uoverunienv, 11 necessary, will be exerted to maiotain Missouri in the Union. Speaking of Camp Jackson, be says, mat tne names ol Davis and Beauregard marked its main avenues that a body of men, organized in tbe interests of tho Seces sionists, bad been received there openly, bear ing tbe dress and b.idge distinguishing tbe army of tbe so-called Southern Confederacy. tie leaves tne people lo draw their own inference of the character and ultimate pur pose ol tue encampment.

Camp Slifkr, Chamiikrsbl-ro, May 11th. Rain, rain, rain I Well may the troops at Camp Slifer be disgusted with their mili tary experieuee. Day after day has tbe rain poured down upon their .temporary aud hastily constracted domiciles, moistening the garments of many, and soaking to the skin others who bod neglected to properly attend to tbe shingling of the roofs. THK RK01.MKNT3 TO BR RR ENLISTED. This morning the Colonels of the different regiments stationed at "Slifer" ' received a letter from Governor' Curtin, in - which he stated that be bad been requested by the Secretary of War to 'inform the different regiments that it was preferred that all regi meats which have already been mustered into service for three months, but which have not been actually sent forward, should be re in us tered for three years or during tbe war should the officers and suldiers be williog. Tbe Colonels were requested to immediately ascertain tbe preference of '.be troops under tneir command. 11 is uuderstood that tho-e who do not desire to be re-enlisted can be formed into regiments, or have such other arrangements uiudo as will enable tbem, at tbe end of tbo present eolistmeut, to retire with honor. The Governor, B9 Commander in Chief expiesses tbe gratification it would afford bun to see tbe Pennsylvania Regiments ucqninsce witb the request of the Secretary of War. TUB HAJOMITV ACC(l'lKClt. I have every reason to believe that a large majority of tho men will consent to the re enlistment, and all honor is due to Mr. Cam eroo for thus giving them an opportunity to accept or decline before other regiments are formed for the increased term. The office!, of course will all answer affirmatively, but if the new arrangemeut proves to be destructive to the prefeot formation of the regiments, tbey should be granted the privilege of re' turuio j home on recruiting service. I.VDH3NATION OK tjK.NKHAL PCOTT At the Report of His llaciny Resigned. General Scott was thoroughly aroused at the reports spread at the South, concerning his resigna tion, and took occasion to say to a croup of gentlemen' several of whom viere officers, and aod who had pointed out to him the report : "Sirs, 1 buve served half a century under that that beautiful flag, and though 1 have the firmest conGdeiice in you ull, ami in your pa triotism, 1 could more easily believe that you would trample that flag in tbe dust than that 1 should ever be suspected of resignation in this hour of triul. No sir; please Gud, 1 will b'skt lor muny years yet for this Union, uud that, too, under the protecting folds of the star-spangled banner." Wbut a noble old patriot. God bless him !
