_~..~ i ~z~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ___-_~ - }iiRRFSBURG Thursday Afternoon, May 2, 1861. SUDDEN NOS.—lnformation wag receive. here at an early hour this morning of the sud den death of Jacob H. Ross, of this city, which occurred at York last night. The deceased was well known as the son of Robert J. Ross, Esq., cashier of the Dauphin Deposite Bank.— His remains were brought to this city this afternoon. W NOTICH in the Mayor's office two large bun dles of bed clothing intended for Camp Curtin. Tbey were made and presented by Mrs. A. W. Bickerton, formerly Miss. A B. Carpenter of Market street They speak well for the head and heart of the donor, and will be fully appre elated by our gallant soldiers, to whom they will be promptly.delivered by the Mayor. Nor nom Mtomarows.—The man Hender son, noticed yesterday by our Camp Scott cor respondent as being one of the deserters from the volunteers of this city, was not from Mid dletown, but is said to hailtram Philadelphia. Our Middletown friends my that the " boys" from that ancient borough are not the men to desert their country's standard in the hour of its .eril. CAVALBY BQIIADBO/C-A meeting of all who are disposed to unite In re forming a squadron of cavalry, under the militia laws, is to be held at Market Square, Verbeketown, at the public house of John Oignger, on Saturday, the 4th knit., at 1 o'clock, P. M. It is hoped as many will come mounted and prepared for drill as conveniently can, and that our young men from the country will not be backward in uniting themselves with this organisation to defend their homes and families if necessary. A Lums Pon was raised by the citizens of Hanover township, in front of A. B. Boyet's hotel, on Friday the 26th ult. The pole was furnished by Jacob Early, Jr., and measured fifty feet in length. A splendid flag of the stars and stripes, the work of the ladies of the township, floats from the top of the pole. After the raising of the pole, a meeting was held at which speeches were made, and resolutions adopted, all sustaining the action of the admin istration in attempting to crush the rebellion at the south. Annexe 10 TH3 0031111 GVARDS.—Yesterday afternoon, Col. Ira C. Mitchell, of Bellefonte, late aid to Adjutant General Wilson, visited the Curtin Guards, and being formally intro duced, proceeded, in a brief and pertinent speech, to encourage them in the performance of their duty to their country. He saw in the company many who were his pupils ten years ago, and he knew they would not prove un faithful to the flag under which they had been raised and educated. He hoped the unanimity of the Northt would tirrify the Smith - info those terms which otherwise their arms would com pel lie then bade them an affectionate fare well, hoping they might survive the struggle and return to their homes covered with honor. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.-At a late hour night before last, two pistol shots were fired from Third street through the window sash of a sleeping room on the second story of Omit's State Capitol Hotel. Fortunately no person was injured. The presumption is that the act was committed by some soldier from Camp Curtin, out on a "bender," who was determin ed to signalize his "liberty" by making things rip promiscuously. The practice of permitting the soldiers from the camp to visit the city with side arms, especially after dark, is highly dangerous, and should at once be effectually abolished. It was only day before yesterday that wo had an example of the evil effects of this Praotioo, in the affray at the Filth Ward Rouse, where a drunken party of soldiers actual ly charged bayonets upon, and wounded quiet and respectable citizens; and It was only through providential interference that serious mischief did not result from the pistol shots night be fore last. We hope that the officers of the camp will consider our suggestions in regard to this matter, and by an exercise of their author ity in the premises, relieve our citizens from a very serious evil. If it is at all necessary that the soldiers should visit our city after night fall, let them do so unarmed. MUSTRRID INTO SUY/Cll.--The "Lochiel Greys" of this city, commanded by Capt. Henry M'Cor- Wok, were mustered into service of the United State at Camp Curtin this morning, by Capt . Simmons, 11, S. A.

Fortunately, the noise made by the transaction was heard by some of the police officers in the Mayor's office, who repaired to the scene andsucceecled in re-arresting the fugi tive before he left the yard in the rear of the Exchange, as well as preventing a general stampede of all the prisoners. The fugitive was taken back to his quarters, and this morn ing the Mayor sent him to prison for forty-eight hours for contempt of—look-up. NORTHISHN CirtiTRAL RAILWAY.—In conse quence of the burning of the bridges, by the mob and secessionists of Baltimore, of the Northern Cental Railway leading to Baltimore from Cockeysville, the board of directors have removed the general accounting department to Harrisburg.

Lawrence Rightmyer, arrived yesterday, from Baltimore, and will, for the present, occupy the offices at the Pennsylvania railroad depot. Parties having business with the department will address .or call upon Mr.. John S Lieb, Treasurer, as above. The lose by the burning of the bridges on this road, is over three hun dred thousand dollars. Their destruction by the mob was authorized by the Mayor of Bal timore and Governor of Maryland. I== TUB NOIIIIIOIN Tina IN MOTION —About six hundred volunteers principally from Bradford, Tioga, Cameron, hill.ean, Jefferson and Elk counties, accompanied with a brass band, :ar rived here this afternoon, and have joined Camp Curtin, That portion of them from Cam eron, M'Kean, Jefferson and Elk counties, fa miliarly known as the " wild cat district," numbered over three hundred. They wore red shirts, and their hats and caps were each surmounted with a fox tall, emblematical of their backwoods home. They bore in the ranks an immense pair of buck horns, which attracted much attention, and elicited "nu meroua" cheers. Each of the men brought with them their own rifles, with whose use they are familiar, and with which, if the ser vice permitted, they could do terrible execu tion against an enemy. Among the arrivals, were also four compa nies from Tioga and Bradford counties, com posed likewise of stout able-bodied sons of the forest, who looked " every inch tile soldier."

Since writing the above, we learn that the company has been accepted and will be muster ed into service to-morrow. At a meeting of the citizens of New Buffalo township, on the 27th ult., held for the pur pose cf giving expression to their views on the subject of the national crisis, George Lecher was called to the chair, assisted by a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.

The recommendation contained in the mes sage for "the passage of a judicious law, to pre vent the saSsilice of property by forced sales in the collection of debts, is one that meets with , the approval of your Committee, but they feel that the duty of preparing such a meaterre should be devolved upon the Law Committee of the House of Representatives; they therefore recom mend that the subject be referred to the Com mittee on the Judiciary, (general) That in compliance with the suggestion made in the message to provide for a larger sum than has been distinctivelyappropriated for the com mon defence and general welfare of the State and the nation in this emergency, your com mittee have prepared and beg leave to submit herewith, "an Act to create , a loan and to pro vide for arming the State." liesitesr - Mtdly submitted by the • COMM Mt,* tepottad of the conuoittee was Mr. IigIMPABD autaitted the folio : , Reekief t That so much otthe special inea v3hl Mgt "GOVernOr as relates to the attack WW — Of this Commonwealth,' WM* were I:== THURSDAY, May 2, 1861 PAY Of PRAOS COMMISSIONERS PETITIONS REPORT OS GOVERNOR'S MISADE. proceeding through Baltimore, Maryland, to the city of Washington, be referred to a select committee, and that so muoh of said message as relates to a re-organization of the militia of this State be referred to the Committee on the Militia System, and that portion of the message which recommends the passage of a judicious law to prevent the sacrifice of property by forced sales in the collection of debts, be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, general ; and said Committees are instructed to repot t by bill or otherwise at an early day.

WASHINGTON, May 2 The President has made• the following ap pointments: James Harlan, attorney, and Al exander H. Tweed, marshal for the district of Kentucky; Hiram Wilby, attorney, and D. H. Carr, •marshal for the Distriot ot Connecticut. AParis correspondentof a prominent gentle man here gives particulars of an official inter view between Mr. Faulkner, Minister to Paris, and Thouvenal, the French Minister, on the subject of the recognition of the Southern Con federacy. Mr. Faulkner protested, most energetically, in the name of his Government, against any recognition of the new American Confederacy until, at least, his successor had arrived. Mr. Thouveual said the 11. S. Government need not have any appiehension of a speedy recognition of the Southern Confederacy by the Govern. ment of France. The fact is demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that the policy of the Administra tion, now and henceforth, is war. To this conclusion Mr. Lincoln haa urged his Cabinet for ten days past. Messrs. Chase, Blair and Cameron entered heart and soul into the!plan, and but for the wavtring of Messrs. Seward and Welles on this point the Cabinet would have been a unit. Mr. Welles has received such letters, petitions, and appeals from his own State as have insured his conversion to an anti-peace doctrine, and finally Mr Seward has added his undoubting assent of such a course. Senator Wilson, with Judge Hoar, of Meese chuietts, called upon Mr. Lincoln and each member of the Cabinet to-day, and urged upon them the imperative demand of the country, that active and potsitivel aggressive measures to aiopted. Twice they saw Mr. Lincoln, whose whole nature Seems bent upon re assert ing the dignity and unity of this great nation before the eyes of the world. The country may rest assured that the course of the Administration has been, is, and will be onward and upward. The standard will suffer no degradation while in its hands.— Nothing, in the.end, will have been lost; and all good Men will agreein coinmeddations upon the action, of our leaders. The Navy Yard at Norfolk wit be re=taken and rebuilt, and that speedily. .Official reports have been made to head quarters that Fort Pickens has been placed, by re-enforcements, beyond the possibility of cap ture by any force the Rebels can bring against it. .‘ By every avenue of communication with this Capital, the , great ,spirit of the Free North makee itself •felt. Mothers write ;to Solis, who seek military employment, urging them ,for ward, cheering their hearts with words or no ble affection. Regiments of nurses, represent ing the cultivation and refinement of New Eng land, are arriving, or announce their readiness to come, meanwhile fitting themselves by prac tice in hospitals at home. Money, horses, arid equipments are offered with lavish hands by thrifty men of business. A single grand ex pression of patriotism reachea us, and its effect here is hourly to be perceived. Commissioners from Western Virginia were in town to-day. They told the President, in substance, that if he would furnish the people they represented with arms, they would take care of this section of the country and guaran tee its loyalty. Allusion,." in the hearing of the President, hlivingbeeit made by &gentleman to-day to the attacks upon the °ours° and motive of the Ad mixdatieateam, Mr Lincoln smiled and said, "Well, sir, we can afford to pass them by with the dying words of the Massachusetts states man, 'we still live.' I am sure they don't wor ry me any, and I reckon they dont benefit the parties.who write them." It seems thke Lieut. Maury will notbe al lowed to resign, but chat his leaving u he did will be considered an actual de/mato° of a post Of duty. 0411 the day of his desertion be Was With theßecietary of UHT Nail Up'to B'o'cloch in the afternoon, aud-said nothing of his in tionrk Re went lawne,,padordup his flirt - Attire and violated. , The Observary is now under hs,*(of pent: UMW; wicallent officer, 'Wan Woulliolorfifiyal, efficient antrWoethy seiv int of the Government does not exist. The mass of unfioiste.d work lett by Lieut. Manry at the Observatory is enormous, but under the cabable management and untiring energy of Lieut. Grills, it is fast being chased away. A man calling himself Brooks was arrested by Judge McCunn at Annapolis yesterday He had been to New York, had wormed his way into the confidence of the Union Relief Com mittee, Messrs. Everts, Aspinwall and others, and after remaining there several days, was made bearer of important dispatches to Messrs. Lincoln, Scott and the War Department. He reached Annapolis by means of a forged pass, which happening to come under the immediate notice of Judge McCunn, he caused his arrest His answers did not wholly satisfy the Judge on certain points, and on being stripped, the dispatched mentioned above were found open next to his skin. He was at once detained, put under guard, and to-day was to be tried. Secretary Cameron exhibits a marked degree of shrewdness in the selection of men. He placed Gen Butler at Annapolis ,to hold that section of country, and open communication. That haying been accomplished, he recalls that officer, giving his position to Col. Hamilton, of New York, and detailing Gen. Butler to a very important Southern movement. Gen. Butler seems to be the man for the advanced posts of duty, and will, within ten days, add laurels gathered from sterner service, to those already gained in peaceable successes. Gen. Patterson will very shortly move hither ward with a large body of troops, and his line of march will be through Baltimore. Prominent Baltimorians have been importu ning Lincoln for several days to re-open com munication, to send dispatches by telegraph through their city, and to insure speedy mail facilities. This has been manfully opposed by Secretary Cameron. who was determined to force them to their senses, deeming a whole. some punishment the best thing for them. He said that when the United States had posses sion of the city, and his own men were in charge of the offices at Baltimore, he would consent. Mr. Blair joined his petition to those of the delegation, and at last, when Mr. Cam eron had gained his point and humbled the Baltimoreans, be consented. The consequence is that an advertisement now announces a di rect line of travel open. Mr. Cameron is as true as steel. Evidences of Lieut. Maury's ttrachery are daily apparent. The meanest of them yet dis coveted is, that be removed buoys from Kettle Bottom Shoals, leaving the Adminishation to Bud It out as best they could. Jefferson Davis continues in the most dishon orable manner to attempt to seduce Federal cffi cers from duty. Last week he sent a General's commission in the Confederate army to a gen tleman holding a Captain's rank in the U. S. army, and whose experience in the Orduante Bureau would render him most valueable to the South The commission was accompanied by a strong personal letter. Both were re turned. EFFECTS OF TliE BLOCKADE. BALTIMORK, MAT 2. The steamer of the Norfolk line which left here on Tuesday, with the mails and passen gers, expecting to be permitted to enter Nor folk Harbor was not allowed to do so, and had to land her mails and passengers at Old Point. The steamer which left here yesterday has also returned without going to Norfolk. The blockade is evidently vigorously enforced against Virginia. The officers of the steamers say that the bay is dotted over with Govern went transports going and returning. Adjourned ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE Spentorrezn, ILL., May 1, 1861.
