to his honie in this city night before last

church, will preach in Brant's Hall to-morrow

IT has been suggested that a greatly increased
demand will be made for provisions during the
summer, and that the scarcity of provisions for
a large army will render agriculture very pro
fitable in the northern States. Hence we trust
that the farmers of Dauphin county will duly
consider this fact in their preparations this
spring.
FIIRLOVORS.-Ouly one soldier at a time from
a company is now permitted to leave "Camp
Curtin" on furlough. The new regulation

disagreeable rain storm from the east prevailed
nearly the whole of yesterday, rendering an
thracite fires and a return to woolen shawls and
overcoats a matter of necessity to comfort and
health, Last night the rain appears to have
subsided Into a regular old fashioned snow
storm, and instead of "vivid verdure,"
"delays" and "batter-cups," and all that sort
of thing, with which poets are wont to associ
ate the month of May, our good citizens when
they arose this , morning found old mother
Earth covered with a blanket of snow. At the
the time. of writing, this morning, a chilly
rain is again prevailing, but there lira indica
tions of its early cessation, and a return of the
month to its usual good habits, "for which as
in d uty bound we will ever pray."

AN Impossoa.—The Vigilance Committee of
Chambersburg yesterday, upon the arrival of
the cars at that place from this city, arrested
a passenger who from certain suspicious cir
cumstances they had reason to believe was con
nected with the Southern rebels. It was ascer
tained ..that he had came direct from New
York. and was en route to Hagerstown. He had
in his possession a trunk very large and very
heavy, which it was supposed contained articles
"contraband of war." At an examination be
fore the Committee the man produced a "pass"
purporting to have been issued by Mayor
K.epner, of this city, upon which he was dis
charged from custody and permitted to con
tinue his journey to Hagerstown. Our Chem
bersburg friends have evidently been imposed
upon in this matter, for upon inquiry we have
ascertained that the "pass" produced by the
traveller is a rank forgery, Mayor Kepner hav
ing never written such a document.
Hominy Putorosrt.vam.—ln the county of
Bradford a full regiment of volunteers have
been enrolled, fully organized and officially
tendered to the Governor. The field officers
are Colonel John A. Codding ; Lieut. Colonel
Jesse Spalding; Major H. J. Madill. Much
credit is due to L. B. Pierce, Esq., the recently
appointed Brigade Inspector of that county,
for his efficiency, as at the time of the publica
tion of the President's requisition, there was
but one organized military company in the
county. The young men of the county came
forward promptly in response to the call, and
for the last ten days we learn that an organ
ized regiment has been ready to march as soon
as ordered, and that a full brigade will be made
up if wanted. As yet but three companies
have been allowed to come on here—one has
been stopped at Williamsport, on the way—
and six. companies, fully organized, are impa
tiently waiting at home for acceptance. Sus
quehanna and Tioga are also alive.
DIVINE SERVICES AT CAMP CURTIN.-By the
following circular it will be seen that the
authorities at Camp Curtin are not unmindful
of the religious duties of the soldiers under
their command :

MILITARY AFFAIRS.-Wm. E. Sees, of this
city, was this morning elected First Sergeant of
the Pittston Volunteers, Capt. Jno. B. Solomon,
attached to the Eleventh Regiment, now at
Camp Wayne, near West Chester.
Mr. Asbury Awl, also of this city, was this
morning ranted First Lieutenant•of a company
in the Eleventh Regiment, and immediately af
terwards appointed Adjutant of the Regiment.
The Verbeke Rifles and Lochiel Greys of this
city still remain at Camp Curtin. There is
some talk . of the latter company being sent to
Washington city, and, in connection with the
Pennsylvania troops already there, being
formed into a new and independent regiment
to be styled the "Cameronians."
A fine looking volunteer company arrived
here at noon to du from Susquehanna county,
and are now quartered at Camp Curtin.
Twenty car loads of volunteers from some of
the western states passed through here this,
morning on the Pennsylvania Railroad, to join
the camp at Lancaster.
We noticed quite a number of the Cameron
Guards and State Capital Guards on a visit to
the city to-day. They looked very well, and
speak very highly of matters and things gene
rally at Camp Scott.
A SOLDIER'S EATioNs.—For breakfast,7
there will be furnished for each man provisions
in the following quantities :
One quart of good coffee.
Eight ounces of bread.

WORK BAGS FOR THE TROOFS.-413 a number
of our patriotic ladies desire to make them
selves useful in the manufacture of various lit
tle notions indispensable to a soldier's kit, we
submit the following mode of making what are
termed "work bags," together with a list of
the most proper contents of the same, furnished
to us for publication by an experienced officer
of the army:
"TV bag should be made of dark calico,
doubre, with compartments for each article, so
as to be readily got at. It should contain
One pair round pointed scissors;
One paper coarse needles, Nos. 4,5;
One hank grey patent thread;
Two hanks black patent thread,
One spool coarse white thread;
Three dozen porcelain shirt buttons;
Five dozen suspender buttons;
One pair of hose;
One piece of grey twilled tape;
Two pieces of white tape;
Half paper of strong pins;
Woolen yarn to darn stockings, and darning
needles."
THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.—An impression
prevails to some extent among business men
that all the powers and facilities of the Penn
sylvania Railroad are given to the government
for the transportation of troops and munitions
of war, to the neglect of the ordinary passenger
and freight lines. This is not the ease. On
the contrary, the line was never so thorough
ly guarded as now, and the passengers and
freight trains never moved with greater regu
larity. The troops and munitions of war have
been so transported as not to interfere in the
least with the regular trade and travel, and
this line is fully prepared to move an increas
ed amount of either for the government and
for the public when called upon.
A DEAR PAIR OF CMOVINB.—One of our citi
zens was fined one dollar and costa this morn
ing by the Mayor for purchasing a pair of
chickens before Market hours, contrary to the
ordinance in such cases made and provided.
The Mayor deserves much credit for the en
forcement of this wise and salutary law.
SWORD PREBRNTATION.-A number of the per
sonal friends of C. C. Davis, Second Lieutenant
of the State Capital Guards of this city, now
encamped at York, have purchased a handsom e
sword and belt, which will be formally present
ed to him next Monday. It is a well deserved
compliment.
THE funeral of the late. Mr. Jacob H. Ross,
took place at 8 o'clock this afternoon from the
residence of his father Robert J. Ross, Esq.,
and was attended by a large number of our
citizens, including the “Locbiel Greys" of
which company the deceased was one of tilt
first members.

HOSPITAL SUPPLIES.---MiSS D L. Dix, who has
been called by the Government to Washington,
to assist in organizing hospitals for the sick of
the different regiments, writes to a friend in
this city, asking aid for supplying the Pennsyl
vania Military Hospital with the following ar
ticles, which will be greatly needed, viz : long
night shirts, made of bleached or unbleached
muslin, four and a half or five feet long, com
mon shirts of the same, flannel shirts, cotton
flannel drawers, woollen socks and handker
chiefs. Any or all these articles, in any quan
tities, will be found acceptable. Each piece
should be marked in coarse lettering—" Mil
itary Hospitals—Pennsylvania." It is proposed
tbaf the clergymen of the different churches
bring this matter before their congregations
to-morrow, so that these articles may be con
tributed during the next week, and be delivered
in parcels (marking on the outside whence they
come) on Saturday afternoon next, at the lec
ture room of the Presbyterian church on
Market Square. Some, who may not be able
to contribute these articles, may be willing to
give money, handing it to the respective pas
tors. Each congregation is to make its
own arrangements in regard to the manner
of collecting together the articles referred to.
All the contributions will be boxed up and sent
by express to Miss Dix, at Washington. Many
of our readers will be interested to learn that
Miss Dix, who is never turned aside from duty
by danger, went thrugh Baltimore with the
Massachusetts regiment in the slaughter there
on the 19th ult.

Correspondence of the Telegraph,l
YORK, Pa., May 8, 1861
MR. EDITOR : —While the storm of rain and
snow sways the sceptre over our camp, I deem
it would not come amiss to drop you a line.
My object in writing is to make known our
condition. We are quartered in a very good
camp, and the citizens of York are very kind,
and appear to take more interest in our com
fort than our' overnment which we are serv
ing ; and T think it proper that we should not
pass this neglect without giving it a notice. I
speak in reference to the three regiments which
were ordered from Harrisburg, camped at Cock
eysville, and have returned from that God-for
saken vicinity. As yon are ware we
were ordered away before we were even uni
formed or equipped, and we are in the same
state yet. Our men are not supplied with
blankets properly, one blanket being divided
between two men, which makes them quite
small, and insufficient to protect the men from
the elements. It is a shame. Some of, the
men's clothes, citizens' dress, are fast wearing
out, and no indication of them being supplied
with a uniform, although it has been promised
to them frequently by some of the officers.
The rations are too small, not sufficient to feed
a man for twenty-four hours, for which it is
intended ; in fact it Is not more than two-third
mamas. Great dissatisfaction exists on that
account, and to my knowledge if it is not soon
remedied there will be an outbreak principally
on that account. It must be remembered that
men leaving comfortable homes, for the sake
of our insulted government, expect some pri
vations, but they do expect enough to eat.—
These three Regiments with the exception of
two or three companies, have not got belts,
cap boxes, cartridge boxes, bayonet - scabbards
or knapsacks ; and yet we are told to hold our
selves in readiness to march at a moments
warning to repel a foe, "worthy of our best
steel." The question is simply, are we prepar
ed ? No we are not, and the soldiers would be
right to say they will not go, when the govern
ment does not fnrnish them, in. the manner
proseribed by law. Whose fault it is T. 40 not
know, whether it is 'the fault of the "g'overn
ment or the Unit of our officers • but the fault
is somewhere and should be speedily remedied.
I notice that the troops coming here from Har
risburg are fully equipped, Nyith the el.ception
of a uniform; we Would not grumble if we had
not the uniform, but in the name of common
sense equip us that we may be able to meet the
foe on the same terms that they will meet us.
Hoping that this statement of things may not
exist long. I remain yours truly,
A yca.FNTEER.

LATEST FROM BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, May 4
Rumors are current ,that the United States
troops have crossed the Maryland line, and are
now moving towards the city.
Union ward meetings were held last night
throughout the oily, and delegates elected to a
city convention to meet on next Monday. The
delegates are now in session to take action rela
tive to the public safety bill.
Resolutions were adopted in all the wards to
the following purport:
That we cherish . the Qonstitution and laws of
the United States, and will devote our fortunes
and lives to defend their integrity against all
revolutionary or violent assaults.
That we' regret the violent attack on the
troops of the United States, while peaceably
marching through the city to protect the seat
of OD verument, and indignantly repudiate
making it a pretext to organize an armed mob
under the disguise of a special police, to place
the city in a hostile attitude to the General
Government, and hereby declare our abhor
rence for the attempt of the Legislature to
inaugurate a military despotism, by a bill
for the creation of what is called a board of
public safety.
That the persons named for the said board
have not the confidence of the people, and we
protest against the whole measure as au inva
bion of the prerogatives of the - Governor and a
usurpation of Executive power by the Legisla
ture.
These Union meetings were largely attended,
and very enthusiastic.
A strong feeling of indignation is manifested
against the proposed action of the Legislature.
WAtimpToN, May 4, 1861
F•ach day is now pregnant with events, and
the country has but patiently to wait the com

From the President to the lowest official, all
are busy with preparations for the approaching

all the organizing departments to the several
Navy Yards and army posts, who are directed
forthwith and speedily to place all things in

The President issued the following Proclama
tion last evening :
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
A PROCLAMATION.
WagesAs, The existing exigencies demand
immediate and adequate measures for the pro
tection of the national Constitution, and the
preservation of the national Union, by the
suppression of the insurrectionary combinations
now existing in several States for opposing the
laws of the Union and
. obstructing the execu
tion thereof, to which end a military force, in
addition to that called forth by my prcdama.
tion of the 15th day of April in the present
year,
appears to be indispensably necessary.
Wow, therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, and commander in chief
of the army and navy thereof, and of the mili
tia of the several States when called into ac
tual service, do hereby call into the service of
the United States forty-two thousand and fifty
four volunteers, to serve for the period of
three years, unless sooner discharged, and be
mustered into service as infantry and cavalry.
The proportions of each arm, and the details
of enrollment add organisation, will be made
known throughout the Department of War.
And I also direct that the regular army of
the United States be increased by the addition
of eight regiments of infantry, one regiment of
cavalry end one regiment of artillery, making
altogether a maximum aggregate increase of
twenty-two thousand seven hundred and four
teen officers and enlisted men; the details of
which increase will also be made known
through the Department of war.
And I further direct the enlistment, for not
less than one or more than three years, of eigh
teen thousand seamen, in addition to the pres
ent force, for the naval service of the United
States. The details of the enlistment and or
ganization will be made through the Depart
ment of the Navy.
The call for volunteers hereby made, and the
direction for the increase of the regular army
and for the enlistment of seamen hereby given
with the plan of organization adopted for the
volunteer and for the regular forces hereby au
thorized, will be submitted to Congress as soon
as that body assembles.
In the meantime, I earnestly invoke the co
operation of all good citizens in the measures
hereby adopted for the effectual suppression of
unlawful violence, for the impartial enforce
ment of constitutional laws, and for the spee
diest possible restoration of peace and order,
and with these, of happiness and prosperity
throughout our country.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this 3d day of

if her rulers persist in their desperate game of

A rigorous blockade of all the ports in the

consequences to those States, and will add con

Missouri has already detected the designs of
the secessionists in her high offices, and will
