detained at ibis point, where no provision ia
made, for them, either by the Government or

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.

sent out two invitations one to Lieut; Gobin,
who is a great favorite in onr company, and the
other to Mr. Helhing, our 3d Sergeant.
Our "bill of fare" was roasl beef, mashed
polatoea with milk and cream, pickles, boiled
corn, peaches and cream, (the cream was fur
nished by H. B. M'a friend, Henry tf. Evans,)
and pound cake. A larg boquet decorated the
table, and the pound cake was covered with
flowers. Several ladies passed whila we wcro
eating, and expressed themselvsby saying "that
dinner was good enough for the most fastidious."
Had it not been for the Captain of our "mess,"
Jared Irwin, our table would have been vacant
of the delicacies.
I must close, as the Band is playing for
Regimental parade.

Washington, Moy 11.
The news from Baltimore is anytime but
palatable lo the Secessionists, who in the
depthi of their mortification and despair
have bit tboir lips and repaired to corner
drum shops.
Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, . is still
stomping for the Union. He uod his suite
are sutiiciuDtly well armed for any ordiuury
emergeucy.
The Confederate troops In Virginia have
been placed ooder command of Geoaral Lee.
He bas appointed Joha A, Washiugtoo as
bis Aid de-Cnmp.
Governor Letcher has issued bis proclama
tion prohibiting the exportation from Virgin
ia of any flour, grain, beef, pork, or other
provisions. 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. Scott are welt laid, and will be as
elliciectly executed as is possible witb new
levies of troops.
Baltimobb, May 14 General Butler's
proclamation lo-duy caused intense sensation
among ibe Secessionists, and proved uupala
lablo to Marshal Kane and the Police Com
missiuners. who felt their powers thereby
considerably abridged.
It is suid tbat sharp words occurred be
tween Marshal Kane and General Butler iu
relation to the seizure, by the latter, a lot of
OUUU contraband arms. Tbey were taken by
tbe Police Commissioners during the riot of
April 19tb, sod had beeo stored io Gittiog's
Building, oear tbe Post Office.
General Butler finally allowed the Com
missioners fifteen minutes to band him over
the keys, threatening to force in the doors
unless tbe demand was complied witb. Tbe
keys were promptly forthcoming, and the
arms taken and sent to Fort McUenry.
An encampment bai beeo established at
Genin'e Falls, and another at Patterson's
Park, and troops are daily arriving at each.
It ia rumored tbat Gov. Hicks will finally
csll out Maryland's quota of militaiu re
sponse to the President's proclamation.
It is also rumored tonight that General
Butler's troops bas been remanded lo tbe
Relay Encampment. Everything was quiet.
It is confidently expected tbut 15,000
troops will be quartered in aud oear Bulti
more, witbio tbe coming fortnight.
- Cuambehsbuuo, May 14. A gentleman
accompanied by several ladies, arrived from
South Caroline, this eveoiog, via Ricbmoud.
He was furnished with a pass by Governor
Letcher, and was therefore permitted to
proceod uomelested. He stales that there
are 900C troops io all in South Carolina, and
in Richmond tbere aie from 7000 to 9000 io
tbe city aod suburbs. IU was informed that
dj more troops were coming to Virgiuia at
present, lie saw a picket near Alexandria,
Dot did ootsee any troops witniu tbe towo.
Tbe people of Soath Carolina are much
afraid of eu insurrection. Home Guards
have been organized ia every village.
Hakkisucbo, May 14 Ao intelligent
Virginian from Western Virgiuia, a bearer
of despatches to Washington, expresses tbe
opiuiuo tnat western v irgioia will torm a
separate State. It will iuclude forty-fire
counties.
All supplies from tbe Ohio valley, which
will subsist tbe Secessionists, have bseo
eolirely cut off from transportation oo tbe
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Two thousand troops io Western Virginia
bad beeo sworn into tbe service of the United
States.
Two regiments from Ohio are ready to

St. Louis. 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. He states, how
ever, that there wr re many good and loyal
nieu in the camp, who wera in no manner
reeponsble for its treasonable character.

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 !

Si'NBi'BY will long live in the memories of
tbe volunteers who passed that wuy. As
each train passes tbe town, au abundance of
excellent provisions is at bund to feed the
hungry troops. At Camp Curtin, last week,
we heard tbe oame of that hospitable old
towo often and fervently altered by the men
who bad partaken of its generosity. A body
of over tbree hundred of Col. Kane's men
were unexpectedly obliged to remain at Hun
bury for about twenty-four bouis, aod after
wards, at Camp, all seemed anxious to testify
concerning tbe good acts performed in their
behalf during all tbe time they remained io
