in facilitating the execution of the orders of
Gov'Curtin. To Mr. Scott, individually, the
government here is under many obligations for
the prompt manner in which he has engaged in
its service, and we would be doing injustice to
the Gdvernor as well as the people if we did
not thus Publicly acknowledge these labors,
and express the.high estimation in which they
are held by the State administration. As the
head of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Mr. Scott
has left at the disposal of Gov. Curtin all the
machinely and men of the company, deeming
it hiseluty thus to dispose of the energies and
resources of a corporation which owes its, past
success to the tranquility of the country, and
which Can alone depend for • future usefulness
and power on the peace and prosperity of the
Union.
11A8 BM SUGGESTED, we understand, that
a loan of $16;000,000 be immediately offered
weep ew ' ork, Boston and Philadelphia.
• Such an expression of confidence in the stabili
ty of the Government from that interest—
Capital—always the most sensitive to any poli
tical' trohble, would be a new proof of how
universal-the feeling is which has seized upon
and •controls the North. The loan if offered
will be rather to put in this form an expression
of the implicit reliance felt by the moneyed
class in the strength of the Goveanment and
the determination of the gentlemen who repre
sent the capital of the country to give it their
most unreserved and generous confidence.
SINCE LAST MONDAY DONNING, Rhode Island
has called and held a special session of the Le
gislature, appropriated half a million of dollars
to fitting out troops, thrown five hundred
Rhode Island boys into Fort Monroe in Vir
ginia, sent to Easton, Pa., a splendid battery
of light artillery-, which might now have been
in Washington, had not its march been coun
termanded by the War Dedartment, and she
now. las a regimerit one thousand two hundred
strong, with her Governor at its head, far on
the voyage to Washington.
Tae Saaarreay os WAa is determined not to
be defeated by the treason of the Governors of
those border States who refuse to respond to
the proclamation of the President for troops.
He has therefore determined to accept the offer
of independent regiments from these States,
and his resolution bias already called outseveral
splendid regiments from these very States.
• Ix is SAID that the Proclamation of the Presi-
dent for troops elicited great laughter among
the Montgomery traitors. The order to block
ade their ports, however, turned this laugh in
another direction, and the traitors are now
about -to reap starvation as ,the fairest of, their
laurels.
Ammo the distinguished men in the city, we
notice Ex• Governor William F. Johnston. He
is warm in his expressions of devotion to the
Union, and speaks in tlowiag terms of the
uprising of the masses to defendisand enforce
the laws.
Jona B. Mcßae, a prominent merchant of
Philadelphia, has offered to raise ahalf a million
of dollars, to be tendered to assist in defraying
the expenses of the war. Creditable, for an

VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND
We have no fears for Washington city, be
cause Gen. Scott is there with a force of six
thousand men, but we must still keep before the
people, the conduct of Virginia and Maryland
in ihis dreadful crisis. With this force he can
disperse a secession mob of any possible num
bers; and the concentration of anything like
an organized hostile military force at Washing
ton for a week to come, sufficient to cope with
General Scott, we do not imagine can be effec
ted. With the city long bridge, a mile and a
quarter long, and with two draws, in his pos
session, no hostile force from Virginia can cross
the river there or below, without bor'
this season of the year, with the r
across the rapids, three miles above
in his possession, no hostile force, wi
can cross the river for sixty miles al
ington. In the next place, with all
of the Virginia Convention, and w'
Suspected preparations of Governor
Major Ben M cOulloch, we_conaideri
improbable that they can have . .ml
equipped an army strong enough
across the Potomac within striking
General Scott. Be can thus hold 1
for a week, and at the end of this w(
scarcely a doubt that there will be al
1 thousand fightingjmen in that cik !
be force sufficient to laugh rairthe armies to
of rebellion, Maryland may be overrun and
subdued in a single week.
The threat to - plant Secession batteries along
the Virginia shore of the Potomac is not very
dangerous. Opposite Mount Vernon, sixteen
miles below the city, the river is commanded
by Fort Washington, in possession of an effi
cient garrison of.. the . United States, and from
that point the stream, two miles in width,
gradually widens to ite mouth, where it Is
nearly ten miles across. In 1814 some batteries
were raised along the Virginia shore to oppose
the ascent of the British fleet; but a few broad
sides knocked them into pieces, the fleet as
cended to Alexandria, and opening their port
boleros) as to rake all the principal Area ts,red uced
the place on demand, and levied from it an im
mense amount of tribute, in the shape of flour,
pork, beef and tobacco.
From all these positions, we have very little
fear at resent n r9c_ruav-xan....=.--,--'---'—'
amay make on the city of
Washington. Maryland is in a more exposed
condition than the capital, by the action of her
mobs, and the inability of her authorities to
preserve the peace. Let us not however delay
the march to the rescue of those who are up
holding the government at Washington.
Come to the rescue is borne to us on every breeze
that blows from Washington, and the only an
swer that will satisfy those who are there, be
leagured as it were by the mobs and assassins of
rebellion, must be the sound of the tramping
feet of their northern and western brethren,
hastening with powder and ball, and keen steel
in the bands of brave men, to carve their alle
giance on the throats and hearts of the coun
try's foes !
THE NOE= HAS BEEN SLOW TO ANODE, I In
this entire movement the people of the free
States have forborne with a patience becoming
patriots and christians. The public treasury
was plundered to strengthen these conspirators,
and yet the North did not complain. Stores
and amunition and military implements of all
kinds were carried into the secession ranks, and
yet the impulsive spirit and brave nature of the
West were not provoked. Forts and arsenals
were stolen and held as conquered property,
and yet the marine strength of the,East, which
could at any moment have wrested all from
the traitors, calmly surveyed the scene of ag
gression, marking each deed of violence with
the hope that Muting reason would revive
the flame of patriotism and of justice in the
breasts of these bad men, without the aid of the
strong arm of the law. The world will bear
witness to these facts, and all future time will
preserve them in condemnation of the basest
act of fratricide . since Cain raised hie arm
against his brother, and made of hitt:well not
only a murderer, but an outcast and a wan
derer, forever fleeing before the wrath of God !
When we come to contemplate the developed
portions of this plot, the traitors assume the
attitude more of demons than mere rebels. The
inducements that :were held out to each
State, were all characterised by a fiendish
ness unknown to history. For' instance, the
prospect which took Florida from the Union,
was that all the lights along the Florida coast
were to be extinguished, and on some points
changed, in order to allure the shipping of the
world along that dangerous ocean path, cast
them among its reefs and rocks, and Snake
them an easy prey for the wreckers of that
vicinity. Was ever anything more devilish ! For
Louisiana's treason she was to have the excln•
sive monopoly of the mouth of the Mississippi,
by the establishment of port dues, and other
rigorous taxes on all the vessels seeking trade
and commerce up that mighty stream. Vir
ginia is to have the exclusive right of breeding
slaves for the market, provided she, too, per
jures her people—and if she refuses,to join the
treason, the African slave trade is to be re
opened. Thus each State was promised ;some
advantage alike repugnant to butiness and ab
Peunspluania 7D ally Zelegravii, iltionbav 'Afternoon, April, 24,:4861,
borront to nature and humanity in return for
its treason. All that was asked of any of them
was aid in felony and assistance in rebellion.—
It was no purpose of any of these men to es
tend the blessings of liberty or religion beyond,
or cultivate their divine principles within their
limits. Freedom was silenced in the pulpit
and banished from the press. He who prayed
to God and mentioned the word of liberty was
seized and scored with lashes while yet on his
knees before the altar. The freedom of the
press, the palladium of our own freedom, was
interdicted - and destroyed—and all these mon
strous, heathenish and barbaric proceedings
from the cold and inhospitable climate of the
North, with its sterile fields and bleak
mountains, to the congenial and balmy skies
of the South, where nature spreads her richest
abundance, thence to the mighty West, where
power and dominion repose in the, peace of in
dustry and the security of majestic law im
partially enforced—everyvrhere We hate pros
pered, because we deemed ourselves united.
Without union, instead of the mighty nation
that we were a few days since, we would have
been worse than we now are—a broken, distract
ed, antagonised and rebellious people. With
out union, neither religion or civilisation would
have flourished between the Gulf of Mexico
and the St. Lawrence, the Atlantic and Pacific
ocean. Without union, the freedom we possess
would never have been achieved. Yet, in the
face of these facts, this glorious,Union is to be
forcibly dissolved; the freedom-for which our
fathers struggled forever destroyed, and we
and those who come after us made the slaves of
a titled aristocrocy. Men and brethren, shall
all these things occur, and not arouse us to
arms? Soldiers of the people, will you ,stand
longer by your arms, while the representatives
of our Government and the temples of our
liberty are threatened by the hostile fronts of
treason ? It must not be; it dare not be.
Heaven and the instincts of humanity forbid it !
THE LADIES FOR TlaIR COUNTRY.
We have been permitted to peruse the fol
lowing correspondence between the ladies of
Philadelphia and the Governor of Pennsylvania,
and through the countesy of the Deputy Secre
tary of State, we have been furnished with a
copy of these letters for publication. The ladies
of Philadelphia evince that love and devotion
for their country, which once distinguished the
Roman matrion and maid, in their zeal for
Rome—and history will deal as kindly with the
virtues and the patriotism of the ladies of.
Philadelphia, as it has done with those of
Rome, by transmitting their names to !eV i 4
urns of lofty praise.
The proffer of their services is couched in
that modest language becoming the virtues of
those who thus offer their: services to their
country, while it will be observed that Gov.
Curtin is no less felicitious in reply. The cor
respondence is well worthy of being preserved
as part of the history of this perilous period :
GOVERNOR CURTIN,
Dear Sir: The women of our city wish to
make themselves useful to our country. I have
suggested to a'number the propriety of organ
izing in bands to prepare and-offer ourselves as
nurses to soldiers who may suffer in our de
fence. The suggestion has met with a hearty
response. We are willing to do whatever is
becoming to our sphere, whatsoever our coun
try may need, , •counting not our lives dear
unto ourselves." Notice will be given from a
number of our pulpits to-morrow, calling on
the ladies to assemble in their respective "dor
cas" rooms, and adopt measures for the pur
chase of bedding, the preparation of bandages,
lint et tetra, and make other arrangements
which will secure to our sick and wounded
soldiers such attentions as humanity and pa
triotism may dictate.
We wish the wives,
mothers and sisters of
other States to know that theirsick and wound
ed loved ones will receive such attentions as
mothers, wives and sisters alone knoW how to
administer ; let them comfort one another with
these words : we are determined to know no
ties but those of country.
Doctor Lennox Hodge, son of Professor H.
L. Hodge, an accomplished surgeon and earnest
christian is extremely desirous of serving his
country at home or abroad. His high character
and peculiar qualifications would render him
particularly acceptable in the hospital here,
whilst in the performance of his surgical duties.
He would at the same time direct the services
of the ladies who may engage as nurses. A
number of years of practice in the hospital of
this city, and other advantages have fitted him
for these peculiar duties.
Any suggestions you may make will be glad
ly received.
Mrs. E. M. Emus, Philadelphia.
Madamr—Yonrcommunication of yesterday, "in
behalf of many ladies," is now before me. Al
though constantly occupied in the active prepara
tions necessarily incident to putting in the field
Pennsylvania's quota of the great army now
about to march to the defence of our National
Flag,lcannot do j ustice to my appreciation of the
undertaking of those whom you represent,butby
briefly tendering to them through you, my sin
cere thanks for your womanly care and fore
thought of those who are now going forth to
battle for the right and their native land.
The brightest page of our country is that
which tells the story of the unsurpassed fidelity
and self sacrificing patriotism of the matrons of
the Revolution. And now, when the institu
tions established by the aid of that fidelity and
patriotism are in a dark hour assailed, by mis
guided men, it is a truly grateful consciousness
to find that the daughters and mothers of our
day are warmed by the same spark of holy
zeal as that which' animated the women of

leien o'clock, and thirteen vt them arrived at
lack river station six miles north of Balti
tore, at three o'clock on Friday morning.
he remainder were stationed at the various
midges on this side. The first indicatibn that
hey had of the intentionof the Secessionists to
turn these bridges was on Satutday morning,
rhen a train, composed of three .cars, ap
roached from Baltimore, loaded with police
ten and a detachment of soldiers. They had
3rned the, bridge at Camden station, two
dies north of Baltimore. This was done for
to purpose of preventing the Union men of
tat city leaving: town and interposing obsta
cles to their mission. The train stopped at
Black river station where the party entered the
telegraph . office„arrested the operetta, and de-
Moiled the wires. Mr. Stewart and his com
rade, divining the intention of the armed train,
crossed the river and proceeded home.
On their journey towards Havre-de-Grace they
saw indications of the burning bridges over
Gunpowder creek, Bush river and Back liver.
They found Maryland in arms, and sentinels
placed all along the road.
Upon their arrival at a small town six miles
from Havre-de-Grace; they were weeded and,
taken before a justice of thepeace, who gave
theta a hearing. They frankly "detailed their
mission. The justice claimed to be a Union
man, but professed his determination to do all
in his power to make Maryland neutral ground.
She had friends in the North, he said, and
it was not her duty to take sides with either
section.
The arms the men had on their persons were
taken away from them, and they were permit
ted to proceed on their way home. They took
the train at Havre-de-Grace and arrived here
yesterday afternoon. Some three or four hun
dred Union men of Baltimore, with their fam
ilies, came on in the same train. -
Several hundred men, women and children,
residents of Baltimore, arrived here yesterday,
by a steamboat which left that point at one
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. A passenger
informed us that the desire to get away from
Baltimore by a large number of Union-loving
citizens was most intense. The American flag
was floating from Fort McHenry as they passed
down the river, and was heartily cheered liy
the passengers.
Business is almost entirely suspended in Bal
timore, and merchants are anxious to consign
their goods to Western houses. Governor
Hicks is supposed to be a strong Union man,

Orders had been received from Governor
Letcher to seize the custom house, but the peo
ple of this city are strong for the Union ' and
the boiling was last night guarded by the Ma

Harpes's Ferry is said to be occupied by
3,000 men, and the greatest excitement pre
vails there.
Seizure of Goods for the South
Yesterday morning, Officers Schlemn and
Hamilton, of the reserve corps, seized a large
quantity of sheet lead, at Washington street
wharf, which was directed ter Williams & Co.,
Memphis, Tenn., and to be forwarded from
Memphis to Jackson, Miss. It was done up in
sheets, wrapped in long cylinders; each of which
required the combined strength of four men to
lift from the ground.
The whole lot comprised from three to four
tons.
A hogshead, containing lead pipe, was also
seized at the same time, and carried with the
sheet lead to the Mayor's office, where it is now
detained in the back yard.
These seiz,nres follow hard upon the seizure
of knapsacks, kettles, etc., last week. They
evidence the satisfactory character of Philadel
phia vigilance. The Mayor should straightway
order all the suburban depot in the neighbor
hood of the city to be guarded. Articles are
doubtless shipped by the wholesale to the South
from unscrupulous manufrioturers in our midst.
Let the people carefully mark these demonstra
