' LATEST TAB SEWS, ■ Largo bndiies of troops continue daily to reach AVashington.jand whatever fears may have been entertained of an attack .on it, the oapital is now safe from, the assault of any force the reb els could possibly send against it. Secretary Welles has ordered a powerful naval* forco to guard the river below Washington, so that it would be impossible for tile enemy to cross it at that point. Above, it Is equally secure, the division of General Banks baring been rein forced, within the last three days, with a force more than double the miqiber of those who have returnee home. The; story that General Lee intended to cross the’ Potomac, between Washington nnd Harper’s Ferry, is pronounced absurd, as be is considered too discreet an off cer to be caught in betwCpn the divisions'of Generals McClellan and Banks. General McClellan, accompanied by his staff and several other distinguished Officers, visited the entire army across the Potomac on Sunday, and examined the fortifications and other means of defence, an(l expressed his entire approbation <>f the present condition of things. It is said there is to be a change in the whole organization of the .army, placing each brigade and division on a more satisfactory footing. During Gener al McClellan’s visit on Subway, he was received with the utmost enthusiasm 1 by the troops. His presence seemjed to inspire them witlf newwig or nnd zeal, and to erase from their ’memories the terrible conflict of the last week.; From Fortress Monroe jr« learn tliat an at tack was anticipated on Newport on Fri day night, os the rebels had thrown forward a strong force of Cavalry and infantry.

I Certain Northern newspapers- whose editors -are now and alwayshave been in full sympathy With the traitors of the South, are now clamor ing for Peace. This is doubtless in accordance with a weli arranged programme of the-rebels. The Tribune in nuticing;this active sympathy on the part of the Northern traitors, makes this short but pointed statement of the case: ; “There are those who still talk of Compro mise.and Peace, but no one dares name com promise within the region subject to the sway of Jeff. Davis.. No thought of Compromise! is there tolerated save by the gagged and dumb subjects who hate that domination, yet have to shout huzzas for, it to save their lives. . ; - u - ! - “Understand, now,, that whoever is for peace is fur submission to a dissolution of the Union; for peace is now possible on no other ground. S>uch a peace would be first ineffable sbamje; next, war. The traitors would soy they had conquered the North, and that'she must hence forth obey their mandates.' They would insist : on having the Border Slave States that have not yet seceded, in all of; which they have des. perate and active partisans. To concede to them \ all! they now have is to be forced at onse to fight them for all they still want. They mean to have Washington City, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, in addition to all they now bave.f- Theymean of coarse, to crash oat the freemen of Western Virginia, and Eastern Tennessee, cbnfiseate their property, and punish them as traitors. If We now say :Peace, we mean thjat we will submit to all this—will stand by and tamely see it done.” j Men of Tioga County, and patriotic citizens elery where: When you bear any man speak of peace or desire to see peace established at pros ekt, you can have no reason to doubt that be is a| traitor, and it is yonr duty to denounce hi-m as snob. - ; j When you read a newspaper which clamors for pence, just because the National troops have mot with one repulse, set its editor down asla traitor, and spurn it from you as yon Would:a serpent. Peace now means submission to the rebels. ' » j THE HEW YOBS SIXTY -NINTH, ) It is recorded of the Pennsylvania Fourtp, that cn the da; preceding the great battle at .

We forbear it this time to answer these inquiries. There is a da; of reckoning coming, when all these things will be looked into, and the reason for Pennsylvania's inefficient; will be known to all. . ; In fine contrast with the conduct of the Pennsylvania Fourth, was that of the New York Sixty-Ninth (Irish), Regiment. Their three months expired on the. same da;, bdt they voted to a man to go into the battle. Thu regiment left New York, April 23d. It stopped a few da;s at Annapolis and marched to tije defence of the Capital, April 28th. Itrtlt onie distinguished itself b; throwing up intrench meats in the vicinity -of Washington, and at the occupation of Alexandria it destroyed seven bridges and tore up the track of the Bail Road between Leeaville and Alexandria, and captured a rebel- cavalry company. But it whs , in the late battle where it became particularly distinguished. Dr. Bussell of the London Times, who witnessed its charge upon the rebil batteries at Bull’s Run is reported by a by stander to have said that it equaled in braver!; the famous charge at Inkerman which that gen tleman witnessed during thp Crimean War. As a matter of coarse, the regiment was bad); cut up, leaving 242 of their number upon the field. Their progress from Washington to New York was more like .an ovation than anything else, and far exceeded' in enthusiasra the recep tion of the Prince of Wales last Summer. Id another column we give' a notice of the late Col. Cameron of the Seventy-Ninth'(Scotch) Regiment. This regiment also distinguished itaelfjfor its bravery, and next to the Fire Zouaves, lost more of its men than anjy regi ment: engaged. The closing up .of Blenker’s Brigade (German) in the rear of oat retreating army, and their orderly and steady march, dip more .to rally the panic stricken than anything else. this well timed proceeding, the enemy i-'3| FROM THE TIOGA BOTS. Corespondents of the Agitator. Fort" Holland, Va., July 20,1861. - Friend AoirAToß.—Beiog pleasantly situa ted this hot sultry afternoon, not in an old rail road car, where I was when I last wrote, but in a largo and well furnished Stone Mansion, beautifully situated on the right bank of the Potomac, I will give you the news of the past week. Lust Monday morning, Captain Holland and Captain McDonald were ordered from camp Dayton to the aid of Captain Taylor, who was holding this little town, and was momentarily expecting an attack from about three hundred horsemen. We came here on donble qnick time, expecting to have a fight, hot when we arrived in town, we found the rebels had made, up their minds to leave their property in the. bands of good nnion men, (the Tioga boys) and “take to de woods,” so we hadjnotbihg to do but tfi walk in and select our own quarters. Capt. McDonald was stationed in a large foor square brick building, in the most commanding part of the town. Capt.. Holland was'ordered to this old situated a little out of town at the base of a lofty mountain, on the road leading from town to Bomney. This bouse is a Slimmer residence of Col. McDonald, who is now in the rebel army at Romney. It was built in times of peace, bat it seems destined for the purpose for which it is nowj used. We have found papers and communications here .from Gov. Wise, and many other prominent men in the Sooth, which go to show beyond a doubt, that the South has been making prepa rations for this war for years, and no one can read what we have read, and then say that this mighty revolution which faas caused, ns to leave our homes, and friends, and go forth to meet the ! dangers of war, is .not the ootbnrsting of plans which they have been concocting for years. , Captain Niles is still in Camp Dayton, two miles from ns. The other morning, a squad of his men crossed the'Potomac, and planted the Stars and Stripes on the top of one l of the lof tiest mountains in Virginia, fired three salutes, and left it once more to wavs in the pure sun light over the old Dominion. 1 beard a man right from Romney, say this imorning, that Col. McDonald has said that be would retake his property from us, or die at the threshold of his own door. - All we have to say to him, is, if ho had rather die a natural death, than to be shot down like, a dog, or hung up like a traitor, he bad better not be seen among those rooks and hills. i We have been destitute of news nntil to-day. We now have the telegraph wire in good order, and an office of onr own in town. Since I have been writing this, o' car load of timber bos passed to rebuild this bridge, and onr regimentals to remain here to: guard the work. That is good news for us, for we have a good cool place, the very best kind of wa'er, and a large library to spend our leasure. hoars with. We have scouting parties out every day. They generally bring in two or three prisonera, and as many horses. To-day they brought in one mao and six fat oxen. The prisoner Is in onr room fur the night. He is a spy. There is now within five miles of this place the Kane Rifle Regiment, the fifth under Col. Simmons, and a part of Capt. Campbell’s artil lery, and situated as wo are, we can whip five times our number. Not one of onr regiment has yet been killed or wounded. The most pf the Tioga boys are in good health, and like the scooting parties as well as an old banter likes to chase the deer. This is secession paper, and I am seated by a traitor’s table, and on this envelope you wiU find the name of the man who once owned it, and all we now hold in our possession—a man that is destined to live only to be spoken of by future generations, as we to-day speak of a Cataline or an Arnold. Coi. Crocket. The Union Men or Texas. —A movement, which has much strength and character, is on foot to organize a new State out of Western Texas. It is strongly supported by the united German press in that section. The Union feel ing is rapidly increasing, and has already made itself seriously felt by the traitors. Secret so cieties exist throughout the western section, and arO becoming more open in their proceedings. Gen. Carpen has been nominated as an uncon ditional Union candidate for Congress, will be elected, and will soon go to Washington to make known the wishes of his constituents, and ask for a sufficient force r from the Govern ment to enable the loyal men of Texas to assert the authority of the Government. .Gen. C. is at the head of .the Union forces, and has al ready become an object of great ierror to the traitors, whom be has defeated thus far in every skirmish. For example, on the Sd.inst., Gen; C., at the' head of two hundred and seven Mounted Rangers, made a descent upon an armed camp of four hundred and fifty-seven rebels, and killed one hundred and three on the spot. The rest fied, leaving everything be hind, glad enongb to escape with whole skins from a man who treats all traitors that fall into his: hands as they deserve, who knows their hiding-places, and is sure to be at their backs when they least expect it. s In the opinion of the New Orleans True Delta the managers of the Southern rebellion are not very apt at their undertaking. It says: “ If this State is to be taken as a sample of the.-way things have been conducted, what do we see ? A treasury which, a few months ago was full to repletion, now collapsed, a great city comparatively defenceless.” Mr. Etheridge, the new clerk of the House, has expressed his determination.net to allow a single man to remain in his employ for an hour, who visits gambling saloons, or who keeps liquor about his room in the Capitol. Tms .Sraafow orwaHots* od Refsmknta- Hon. Galtuha A.

He was elected Spea ker of this Congress because foe impression wds slmost universal that be was foe best qual ified and foe most entitled - to tbe position>— There is a coincidence in this election which may be regarded a good omen. The first Spea ker of the Hotise .elected after the establistflent of our National Independence was Mohlenborg of Pennsylvania. And now again, when, for the first time since those days that tried the souls of patriots, oar National Legislature is called together on foe Fourth of July, the Rep resentatives of foe people look to foe Keystone State for the presiding officer over foe popular branch of Congress. They have made a wor thy selection. May it indicate a restoration of foe national prosperity and peace and progress and unity which followed the election of the first Speaker from the middle of foe .Union arch. Remember. —That Gen. Scott earnestly ad vised Mr. Buchanan and his traitor associates, tooccupy and re-enforce the southern forts— warning them of the designs and doings of the traitors. But Gen. Scott's advice was unheeded by the Bucbanier Administration, because it comprised the.leaders of the rebellion. Had the advice been heeded, rebellion would have been crushed in its buddings; and its Cabinet plotters would have done no more than repeat the South'Carplina farce of 1832. The southern traitors and their northern sym pathisers, then jeered at and ridiculed the old Chieftain's warning; and .now, these northern allies are cursing and faultfinding at the plans of the hero, because he don’t fight a great bat tle every week. Last winter, the “sympathisets”‘held a Hart ford Convention; in Albany, N. Y., and public ly announced that they would be. “a fire in the rear" in case.there should be. any attempt to “coerce” the rebels to submit to the Constitu tion and the laws. Now they croak and find fault with the delay in coercing, and the “cost” of preserving the Union and rooting’out trea son. » . , When this war is ended, there will not be rebel seed enough left, for another crop of trai tors daring the nest one hundred years. Diabolical Attempt to Kill Parson Brown low. —One day last week, says the Knoxville Whig, the Southern mall brought us a small package, done up precisely like a newspaper, and about equal in size to one of, oar exchan ges, with the usual endorsement, “ Brownlow’s Whig, Knoxville, Tennessee,” and postpaid. Upon opening it we found it to contain about half a yard of brown domestic, with blood and scabs on it, resembling a cloth taken from some one afflicted with small pox. Wc had it burned in the front yard of our printing office, after handling it with the tongs! This attempt at our death, by the planting of a masked battery, manned by the übiquitous spirit of secession, entitles the cowardly villain who did it, to the honor of being picketed in the deepest gorge leading to hell. Not only so, but be-should be required to make .nightly advances upon the ambuscades of the devil; and every morning of his life, by way of health ful exercise, he should make a reconhoissanee of the damned, having the entire control of the guerilla rebels of the infernal regions 1 Another Exploit of the Gun Thief.—Floyd, the gun stealer, turns oat also to have been a cartridge thief. When General -Butler took command of-Fortress Monroe be found himself with about three thousand men at his orders.— In the list of ordinance supplies of the' fort he found 170,000 cartridges—which was the amount reported to be stored there by John B. Floyd while Secretary of War.’ But when the new commander, preparing for expedition, came to look up his stores, he found, instead of 170,000, only abuut4,soo cartridges. Of coarse, with a ballet and a half to eacn man, an army is not likely to do much ; and this,accounts not only fur General Butler’s inactivity, but also for the activity of the rebels, who, took up daring positions in perfect safety, knowing that oar troops had no ammunition. Who is Cot. Siegel? —Col. Siegel, who is distinguishing himself in Missouri, is a native of Baden, Germany, and is about 27 years old. He graduated at" the military school of Carla rube, and'entered the regular army of Baden and was advanced to the post of chief adjutant in 1847. His sympathies with thefirst "revolution in southern Germany lost him his commission.
