U aitp Ettegrap4. 1ARRIBBIIRD• Monday Afte noon, April 22, 1161 Mons Aso Bereaso.—Col. F. K. Boas, one of our most patriotic and loyal citizens, to-day had a liberty pole planted.ht front of bis law office, from the top of which now floats a large and handsome American flag. Captain A. H. FAB; of the Wyoming artil lerists, requesti us to return the thanks of his company to the ladies of Harrisburg, for the kindness and liberality with which they have contributed to the comforts of his command. TEL services of the Washington Rifles of Mt Joy, Capt. J. R. Waltman, formerly of this city, have been accepted by the Governor, and will go into encampment at their own expense near Mt. Joy, until called into active service. A FIN® COMPANY of military arrived here this morning from the Wyoming Valley. They had the full complement of; 'Ma, arid were uni formed in red shirts, cap and gray panteloons, with dark stripe. They attracted much atten lion. Sgvna. loolting strangers were observed to-day lurking around the city, aP parently with no good intentions. They have been "spotted" by activemembers of the Vigi lence Committee whoi will take care to see that their conduct is all right during their stay in this vicinity. COURT.—The regular term of the Conrt of Quarter Sessions met in this city at ten o'clock this morning, and received the reports of the constables of the several, townships. Only four teen jurymen answered to their names, in consequence of which the Court adjourned until two o'clock P. M. I=l Mkroa's PaoariusTrom.— In accordance with a suggestion of Gov. Curtin, I hereby call upon all patriotic citizens to meet at once at the office of the District Attorney, to organize themselves into a Vigilance Committee, to ar rest spies and disaffected strangers. Citizens be prompt. Was. H. KEPNER, Mayor. SERMON BY TILE REV. ALFRED COWMAN.— This eloquent Divine preached an effective ser mon on the state of, the country, in the Locust street Methodist Episcopal Church, last even ing before one of the largest, congregations ever assembled within that edifice. He el neatly admonished his hearers to stand fast to the faith of their fathers in their constancy to the Won. A Emmons rumor ;prevailed to some ex tent in onrcity this- morning that the water in the reservoir was poisoned. Such a state ment naturally enough created the greatest alarm, and we are told that many families ln consequence cliseard the use of the water alto gether. We can azure our readers that there is not a word of truth in the report, and that the water to-day is just as pure and healthy as It was One geolmago. Gnu= PATRIOTISM. —The following has been handed to us, with a request that it be pub lished. It speaks for itself. To the Editor of the Telegraph:— Please state, through the columns of your paper, that the families of tenants occupying any of my houses, shall remain in the same free of rent, while their husbands are abroad serving the country in the present difficulty. Yours, 0. 0. ZOIEBEBBMAN, - No. 28 South Second street. Goal Ont.—An additional detachment, con sisting of about one thousand of the Pennsylva nia quota of volunteers, started this morning via the Northern Central Railroad for Balti more. When, however, the train .convoying the troops arrived on the opposite • side of the river, it was recalled to this city by a telegraph ic dispatch, and the cars switched off to the Pennsylvania Railroad—it being determined to send the troops,to Washington via Philadelphia instead of Baltimore. lEME _, ._~_. Ruircuraus Rintotm—We hear frequent ru mors about certaia men connected with the telegraph offices, and doubts are expressed sa to their loyalty. We can assure the poblio at large that no fear need be apprehended what ever. The Governor controls the Hoes, and Col. Berryhill, whose loyalty cannot be doubted for a moment, has 'taken up his quarters in the principal office, and is there in person day and night. No dispatches are permitted -to pass unless they are of the right stamp. 411 Union men can depend upon this.. We steak not only from a pereonal knowledge, but by authority. Tim "Rosa Gomm*" will meet at the• E xchange at 7ceclock this evening for the pur pose of perfecting their organization, and re ceiving additional names to the muster roll.— The company is not, as inadvertently stated by ua yesterday, composed exclusively of members of the Hope Fire company, but embraces mem bers of different fire companies and others not firemen. The roll of the company is rapidly filling up, and their services will no doubt be tendered to the Governor in a few 'days. Per sons desirous of signing the muster roll are requested to be present at the meeting to-night. Two "Summit Boys."—Two full regiments of the Ohio State volunteers arrived here last Saturday evening, and are quartered in the State Capitol bnildings. They are a fine look ing set of men, and commanded by experienced officers. In a conversation with the Quarter- Master this morning, he informed us that they are the advance troops of seventeen regiments, formed by Ohio in response to the call of the President. The quota of the State was thirteen regiments, but hearing of the refusal of the State of Kentucky to furnish men, they imme diately volunteered to fill the quota of that State, and hence the additional four regiments. In addition to this the Governor of Ohio has ordered another levy of thirty-five thou sand men, to he held , as a reserve in case of emergency. GOOD ADVICE TO THE FIREMEN.—WO endorse the following proclamation of Mayor Kepner and commend it to the sensible consideration of the firemen of the city of Harrisburg. The credit and decorum of the city are both in the hands of the firemen, and we have no doubt they will respond to the appeal of the Mayor, who is one of their best friends : MAYOR'S OFFICE, iIIaitIBBITIIG, April 22, 1861.-} I deem it important to urge upon our noble hearted flremeu the - adoption of some media° to prevent the running of their apparatus exe94 in case of need. The numerous false alarms' tend to keep up- as 'well as to :add to the painful excitement-already prevailing in the community; and too much care cannot be ex. ercieed to restrain that excitement within pro per bounds. I would anggest to the firemen that each company select a committee to take charge of their houses and machines, and not allow the latter to be taken out under any pre text until it is clearly assertained that there is fire. This will tend to allay much confusion and aid in preserving quiet. I would again urge upon all liquor dealers to be cautious in the sale of intoxicating drinks. Whenever it is known that one in this business has sold to a minor or to one already under the influence of liquor, his establishment shall be closed and be himself placed in the hinds of the District Attorney to be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Wm. H. Kulime, Mayor DEPARTURE OF THE tiAMERON AND STiTE rrai, Queens.-Harrisburg has witnessed many' a day of rejoicing and festivity, but never be fore has she.witnersedsuch a scene as that. of Satutley last in the departure of the, Guards. When the Roman matrons brought their song to the Roman Senate and offered these their only jewels to be lavished for the State; when Spartan mothers bade their sons go forth ad monished only that whatever wounds they show ed should be in front, they were not surely con tributing more to history than the mother who gave her six sons—Saturday wee a day to be re membered in the annals of this city, and the muse of history will smooth down her fair est and whitest page on which to record, could they bo gathered together, the acts of hero ism to which many a home bears witness ; let us all hope that their mission may be success ful ; and in conclusion permit us to say that many of the Guards were in the habit of buy ing their Dry Geode at Union 81 . , Bowman's, corner of Front and Market streets. ap22-2tt FATAL Acorossx.—A fatal accident occurred this morning at Coverly's Hotel. Lieutenant Blakely, of the Unlonßlues, was examining a Colt's revolver belonging to a member of, company, when one-of the barrels accidentally exploded and shot Robert. reel, from Old Chestertown, Delaware county. The ball en. tered the right side and the bowels, producing a mortal wound. Dr. Campbell was in the im mediate vicinity, and rendered all. the aid that could possible be given; but they proved una veiling, and the unfortunate man died shortly after the accident occurred. Not .the least blame can be attached to Lieut. Blakely, and Mr. Wean fully exhonerated him before his death. We bear since then that Lieutenant Blakely has taken very ill, and fears are enter tained that his nervous system is ito,seriousli affected that death may be produced bylt. Since writing the above we understand that an inquest has been held s of~ the body of the deceased by Alderman llline;and that the jury returned a verdict of "death` y accidental Vieux/son Comzerrna.--This mo ning Gov. Curtin sent. a communication to M. yor Kepner, stating that spies and disaffected individuals are in our midst, and suggesting that a Com mittee of Vigilance be appointed. The Mayor at once issued his proclamation, and the-loyal citizens assembled in large crowds at the Dis- trict Attorney's office, and enrolled themselves for the purpose of preserving the peace. The citizens are intensely concerned in this matter, but they seem determined„to.do :their, work - in a quiet and peaceable war. There is to be no gag law or extreme measures adopted ; but every man who spreads disaffection or treason will be dealt with promptly. This is a good move, and one very much needed. We warn traitors to beware ! PRESEPTATION.—Each of the members of the Cameron Guard, previous . to their departure, was presented with small pocket testaments, the gift of the estimable lady of Jas. W. Weir, Esq., - cashier of the Harrisburg Bank. A genHemarupf_ the city -also' presented this company and the State Capitol Guard with the sum of two - hundred dollars, which was equal= ly distributed among.thit Members of the two companies. Such evidenm of ,ic.jnd . feeling and benevo_ lenee will long be remembered by our gallant soldiers. Tug Puma° Gamins, and State, Pine and Locust streets this morning presented. a lively and animated scene caused by the military ex ercisef of the several companies composing the two Ohio regiments. The men gave etideace of good training in the marching evolutions, and we venture to predict that with Minnie rifles and sword bayonets in their hands the gallant "Buckeye Boys" will give a good scant of themselves. ==l THE CITY Comoro Ank THE Waz.--Pacorer. Acrroo.—At a meeting of the City Councils last Saturday evening, Dr. Bailey offered the following resolutions; which wete unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Common Councils of the city of Harrisburg appropriate the sum of five thousand dollars for the support of those vo lunteering to support the honor of our flag. Resolved, That the Ordinance Committee be instructed to memorialize. the Legislature for authority to levy an additional tax of two mills on the dollar to meet the above appropriation. =:==l Anima Musran x Corceaxr.—The members of the Good W ill Fire Company hold a meeting this evening for the purpose Of 'taking the ne cessary steps to forma company.

DEBOHLPTION OF CAMP CURTIN.--Tas MILITARY, &c.—We had the pleasure of spending an hour this morning at "Camp Curtin," above our city, and found it, as we bad anticipated, full of bustle and activity. Throughout the day the main road leading to the Camp was alive with pedestrians, military and civic, and omni busses, carriages and other vehicles of all sizes and patterns, beating passengers to and from the Camp. The main entrance is effectually guarded by sentinels, who permit no • person to pass unless they produce a permit Irom the - proper officer. to consequence of this regulation many of our atinens are disappointed in gaining an entrance, and are only enabled to witness the domestic econotn or : the interior by an occasional glimpse throUgh the open gates. We arrived upon the ground shortly after the breakfast hour, and found the troops mostly disengaged from duty, scattered promiscuously over the grounds ingroups, many reading the extra TaLsonapn, and others discussing the con dition of affairs generally. The tents, abouta thousand in number, occu py nearly all the available ground northwest of Floral Hall. They are regularly, laid out in rows, with wide streets between, so as to facil itate communicated and insu re a constant cir culation Of fresh air. They each contain abundance of dean straw, andlook altogether quite comfortable places of habittitiofi. T• In addition to the tents, all the horse and cattle pens belonging to the ground have been thoroughly cleaned, weatherboarded and filled with straw for the accommodation, of the troops. Stretched at intervals along these ranges of sheds are a large number of cooking stoves, the cooking utensils of which, during our visit, were filled with edibles preparing for an ex pected arrival of additional military. The cooking is done by the privates of the compa nies detailed for that purpose; and we most confess that the little we saw of them, im pressed ns very favorably with their culinary acquirements. • The first story of Floral Hall is devoted ex clusively to the commissary . departmint, and the piles of provisions in store there we opine, would astonish' the eyes of some of our citi The Commissary and his clerks are constant ly in attendance to deal out the rations to the companies as fast as the proper applications are made. The second story . of the main building is ap propriated to the use of the Adjutant General, and Major General Stem, both of.whom during our visit we found busily engaged performing their respective duties. The judge's stand, near the trotting track has been converted into an office for the use of Capt. Simmons of the regular U. S. army, who has been detailed here by the Government to Muster into actual service the volunteers, as feat as they report themselves.

The companies as fast as they are inns tered into service, report at the Adjutant Gen eral'a office, where they are immediately: ittp plied- with arms and amunition—large quanti ties of which are now constantly arriving at the camp. We should judge-that the camp had sufficient capacity to accommodate ten thorrsand troops, and more if necessary; Being under the commend of experienced of ficers, the most rigideamp ettiquette is Colistant ly observed. The revelle is sounded at the dawn of-day, when all the companies form on the parade grounds to respond to roll call, af ter which they are drilled for one hour. Immediately after this drill the tents are re quired to be put in order, and the streets prop erly cleaned. Seven o'clock A.X. is the established hour for breakfast, and`the guards are mounted at nine o'clock A. M. The regular hours for drill by companies , are from.-half-past - ten to half past eleven A. M., and from four to five P. M. Dinner'call is sounded- at 12 o'clock. The retreat is sounded precisely at sun set, when the rolls are again called and the orders of the day read. Tatto is sounded- at nine o'clock P. M., at which time, unless, ; special permission has been obtained, every soldier; is required-to be in his tent, and all- lights-ex tinguished. Soldiers coming into thee, camp intoxicated, or bringing liquor in, are imme diately placed under arrest by the officer of the guard. This morning there were about four 'thous and troops in the camp, and were constantly arriving by every Railroad train. The following is a list of the "companies, mustered into service from seven o'clock A. M. up to two o'clock P. M., at which time we left the ground : Curtin Guards, Centre county, Capt. Stover.
