C.mmurgroaTioN OPENED.—The first regular
passenger train for Baltimore, since the 19th
of April, left this city at noon to day, with the
expectation of being able to run through on
usual time,

THE HYDRANTB.—Persons using Susquehanna
water are notified that it will be shut off at 6
o' clock Sunday morning, for five or sixhours, for
the purpose of connecting the pipes leading up
Ridge Road with those of the Reservoir.
I=
kloan "Murravvr.—A volunteer company from
Clearfield, (old town,) with an excellent brass
band, arrived here at noon to-day, and joined
Camp Curtin. The company had the full com
plement of men, and were under the command
of Capt. Oscar Loring.

Tire BRADFORD COUNTY VOLUNTRERS.-oWing
to some misunderstanding in relation to the
time of service, a considerable portion of the
three companies of volunteers who arrived here
a few days ago from Bradford county, returned
to ther respective homes at noon to-day.
..--_-...----
REMOVED TO PITTSBURG.—MiaI. H. E. Sears,
who practiced medicine here for several years,
we see by the Pittsburg papers, has hung out
her shingle in that city. During her residenc e
in this city she was highly esteemed for her up
right conduct and merit and skill as a physician.
..---,..---.
FLAG RAISING.—We understand that a large
and handsome American flag will be raised this
evening at 7 o'clock at Mrs. Espy's boarding
house, in Front street. Gen ',Small of Philadel
phia, will deliver a short address, the "Star
Spangled Banner" will be sung, and the Colum
bia County Brass Band will furnish Music for
the occasion.
A COMET VISIBLE.—The comet just discovered
by H. Thatcher, is said to be now plainly visible
to the naked eye. Star gazers will find It in
the quadrangle of the "Dipper" in the Great
Bear—a hazy star near the brightest of the four.
It exhibits a tail three degree long in the tele
scope. It moves rapidly from the north-west,
and in a few days will be conspicuous as a
flaming sword from the north advancing into
the southwestern skies. Is it an omen ?
=0:::1
CAMP CIIRTIN.—There are now twenty-seven
companies in Camp Curtin, two of which 15E
long to the three months' service requisition,
and are awaiting special marching orders.—
The remaining twenty-five companies have
been accepted under the three years' requisi
tion, but have not yet been formed into regi
ments, or mustered into the service of the Uni
ted States. They remain for the present in
camp, for military instruction.
I==
HARRISBURG FEMALE SSMINART.—So many
schools are being disbanded at the present time
that some rumors are circulated that this insti
tution would also be discontinued. We are
authorized by the Principal, Kis. Sarah E.
Dixon, to give an emphatic contradiction to these
rumors. The patronage of the Seminary is as
large as ever at this season. No change has
been made in the corps of inspectors—and the
school is to be continued in all its departments as
heretofore. The recent suspension of the Penn
sylvania Female College renders this institu
tion a necessity. The Seminary will be re
opened in September, after the usual holidays,
with that increased patronage which it cer
tainly deserves.
A DIFFERENT Swim—The notice in last eve
ning's TELEGRAPH in reference to an " excite
ment in State street," was partially incorrect.
We have since learned from those who witness
ed the whole transaction, that the persons who
visited Casey's meat shop were detected in the
act of pocketing a quantity of bologna, and
when taxed of their theft, they became saucy
and impudent, and threatened to whip the son
of the proprietor, whereupon this latter per
sonage, and not the father as stated yesterday,
p r oceeded to give his would-be assailants a
thrashing, which caused them to vacate the es
tablishment in the quickest possible space of
time. The information upon which we based
our statement yesterday was derived from one
of the parties who received the thrashing, and
of course, was framed to meet hie own views.
DESBRTIONS FROM THE VOLUNTEER RANKS
Very few desertions have taken place in the
Pennsylvania line up to this time. The pro
portion is not as one to ten of the desertions
which took place from the two regiments which
marched to Mexico in 1846. The desertions up
to this time do not average one to each com
pany after being sworn in. Probably one hurt 7
dred have ran away, which, in an army of
twelve thousand volunteers, is nnparallelled*
the annals of history. In the late war wit*
Great Britain, whole companies deserted after
being fully cognizant of the hardships of camp
life, and in the Mexican war some companies
lost a third of their inert before they le :t New
Orleans.
When actual hostilities are commenced de
sertion may be punished by death. In the po
sition in which the camps are now, desertion
is usually punished, when the deserter is caught,
by shaving the head and drumming out of
camp. Little action has been taken, up to this
time, even to recover deserters, because where
one has taken place a dozen of true and loyal
men have been ready to take hie place.
SWORD PRESENTATION.--WG noticed in last
Saturday's TELEGRAPH the fact that a number
of the personal friends of Lieut. C. C. Davis of
the State Capital Guard, of this city, had pur
chased a handsome sword and belt for presen
tation to that meritorious officer. The presenta
tion ceremonies took placiitlaat Monday at Camp
Scott, near York, and are described as having
been very interesting. Messrs. Alex. Watson,
David Croft and Joseph Sheetz constituted the
committee appointed to hear the gift to the re
cipient. Mr. Watson presented thesword belt,
making the following remarks :
LIEUT. DAVIS : Permit me, sir, on behalf of
your many friends in the city of Harrisburg, to
present you with this sword, as a small token
of their high regard for you as an officer and a
man ; feeling assured that in giving it into
your keeping it will be used as long as you
have an arm to strike in defence of that flag
under whose folds our country has grown into'
greatness, and that its blade will not be tar
nished while in your care, save by the heart's
blood of him who would trail in the dust that
beautiful emblem of our nationality, the Stars
and Stripes. Lieutenant, the citizens of Har
risburg feel proud of you and your five noble
hearted and brave brothers, all of whom are
enrolled in the service of our country. Witk
an army of such men in the field, we feel safe
that the Star Spangled Banner long will wave
"o'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave." While on the tented field, should
thoughts of home and mother steal o'er you,
let it be a little consolation to you to know
that the comfort of your aged and widowed
mother will be strictly cared for in your ab
sence. Yet full well I know that the united
regard and sympathy of the whole community
will be but a poor equivalent for the absence
of her six noble boys. May God bless and
protect you is the sincere prayer of all, hoping
you may soon return covered with the honors
you so richly deserve, and which you will
surely reap should the opportunity occur.
Lieut. Davis made a brief but very appro
priate reply, which we regret could not be ob
tained for publication.
THE NEW MILITIA BILL.-A new militia bill is
now before the Legislature. The first section
authorizes the organization of a Reserve Volun
teer Corps, to be composed of eleven regiments
of Infantry, three of Cavalry, and one of Ar
tillery, the same to be clothed and equipped as
similar troops in the United States service, and
to be liable, at such times as their services may
be required, to be called into the service of the
United States or National Government. Sec
tion second provides for the establishment of
two or more camps as Camps of Instruction ;
and section third requires that the troops be
drilled therein until perfected in the military
art. Section four relates to the pay and rations,
which are made the same as in the United States
service. Section five requires that the troops
shall, at all times, hold themselves in readi
ness for service. Section six makes it incumb
ent on the commander-in-chief to procure arms,
uniforms and accoutrements for the troops—
the captains of the different companies to give
security for the safe keeping and delivery of
the same. Section seven relates to the election
of officers. Section eight empowers the staff
officers and commander-in-claief to make all
useful regulations for the organization and
equipment of the men. Section nine author
izes the distribution of one thousand stan& of
arms to the people of those counties bordering
on the Virginia line, to be used for home de
fence, or in such other service as they may be
required to perform. Section ten empowers
the Governor and Adjutant General to procure
suitable arms and equipments for the volun
teers now organized, and to contract for remod
eling all the arms of the State which have be
come unfit for service. It also provides that
before any arms are distributed to the Home
Guards or other companies, they be sworn to
support the constitution of the State and the
United States, &c.
DEPARTURE or TROOPS.—The 14th and 15th
regiments of State troops left Camp Curtin,
the one at 9 and the other at 10 o'clock this
morning, in the cars of the Pennsylvania Rail
road tiwards Philadelphia. - As stated yester
day, the Yerbeke Rifles, of this city, are at
tached to the Fifteenth, and accompanied their
regiment. During the stay of the Rifles at
Camp Curtin, they have been subjected to strict
dicipline and severe drill, the result of all
which has been to put the company in the best
possible condition for active service. The
corps is composed of active able-bodied young
men, who look as if they could endure almost
any amount of the fatigue and hardships inci
dent to a military campaign.
Since writing the above we have been kindly
furnished with the names of the officers and a
list of the companies composing the above
regiments, which we publish For future refer

SECOND DISPATCH
camp of the 7th Regiment continues to be the
I point of attraction. The marine band played
n the Presidential grounds in the afternoon, a
which time hundreds visited the plan
Mrs. Lincoln's first reception in honor of the
officers and soldiers on duty at the Capital of
the nation will be held this evening. Invita
tions have been extended, and great delight is
occasioned thereby ; heretofore the pressure
upon the mind and physique of the President
end family bas been so constant that no time
could be found for such demonstrations of re
gard to the patriotic defenders of the Capital ;
but now that a breathing spell occurs, Mrs.
Lincoln has availed haself of the opportunity
to testify the esteem in which both the Presi
dent and herself hold those for whose benefit
the reception is to be given.
There has not heretofore been displayed from
the White House the National Standard. This
the President proposes to do some day this
week.
The Star says : "We have information by te
legraph that the Harriet Lane reached Annap
olis this morning, bringing up a private schoon
er, captured last night just outside the Virginia
Capes. When chased, the crew of the schooner
with but two exceptions abandoned her in
their boats. She had been disguised by the
obliteration of her name from her stern, and by
being painted yellow."
Major Anderson received his appointment as
Colonel this afternoon.
BALTIMORE, May 9.—Bradley Johnson a prom
inent secessionest has left Frederick with some
eight others, and it is supposed their destina
tion is Harper's Ferry. A considerab'e number
have also left this city in companies going
aeross the country in the direction of Harpers
Ferry. It is said that not less than three hun
dred have gene from this city.
The City Council of Baltimore this evening
made an appropriation to rebuild the bridge at
Canton, on the Philadelphia Railroad.
Recruiting for the United States Army is
actively progressing, and the National Hotel,
which has been unoccupied for some time past,
has been rented for quartering the recruits.
Gov. Hicks, in reply to a resolution of in
quiry by the Legislature, whether he consented
to or authorized the burning of the bridges on
the Northern Central and Philadelphia, says he
neither authorized nor consented to the de
struction of said bridges, but left the whole
matter in the hands of the Mayor of Baltimore,
with the declaration that he had no authority
in the premises—that he was a lover of law and
order, and could not participate in such pro
ceedings.
Gen. Butler, in his special brigade order of
to day, making the following allusion to the
arrest of Spencer:
"The General takes this opportunity public
ly, as he has done privately, to thank Lieuts.
Fox and Shelley, of the Eighth Regiment, for
their coolness, promptitude and zeal, in arrest
ing one Spencer, who was uttering in the pre
sence of the troops at the Relay House, atro
cious sentiments, declaring that 'we,' meaning
himself and brother rebels, 'acted rightly to
ward the Massachusetts troops three weeks ago
last Friday,' and saying that the murderous
mob who killed our friends there were right
in the action, and that the same men were pre
paring to give us a warm reception on our re
turn.
"For these treasonable speeches, substanti
ally admitted by him in his written examina
tion, Spencer has been arrested and sent to An
napolis, where he will be properly dealt with.
"The other matter to which the General de
sins to call the attention of the troops is this :
Wishing to establish the most friendly relations
between you and this neighborhood, the Gen
eral Invited all vendors of supplies to visit our
camp, and replenish our somewhat scanty com
missariat.
"But, to his disgust and horror, he finds well
authenticated evidence that a private in the
6th Regiment has been poisoned by means of stry
chnine administered in food, brought into camp by one
of these pedlers. lam happy to be informed that
the man is now out of 'danger. This act, of
course, will render it necessary for me to cut
off all purchases from unauthorized persons.
"Are our few insane enemies among the loyal
men of Maryland prepared to wage war upon
us in this manner? Do they know the terrible
lessons of warfare they are teaching us? Can
it be that they do not realize the fact that we
can put an agent, with a sword, in every house
hold, armed with the terrible weapon ?
' In view of the terrible consequences olthis
mode of warfare, if it were adopted by us from
their teachings, may we not, with every senti
ment of devotional prayer, exclaim, 'Father,
forgive them ; they know-net what they do.'
Certain it is that any other such attempt, rea
sonably authenticated as to the person commit
ting it, will be followed by the swiftest, surest,
and most condign punishment."
Arrests for treason of some of the guilty
parties in the raid of the 19th of April have
already been made, but as yet none of the
ringleaders have been touched. Many of them
have cleared out, but enough of them are left
to make bright examples of. A perfect stam
pede of the minor 'Offenders has followed the
first movements of the officers of the law. The
general feeling is that nothing serious will come
of the niatter, until the United States shall be
in position to insure the free operation o of the
laws.
The occupying forces at the Relay House are
fortifying that position. It is impregnable,
and commands the approach to the city from
the west. We are anxiously looking for the
coming of our friends from the East and the
North ; and, from what I can learn, it is pro
bable that the columns from these points will
be in position by. Thursday at furthest.
This afternoon General Butler tried the
range of his battery on the heights, taking
for a target an old, Unoccupied shanty, two
thirds of a mile distant, whibh was struck with
great precision.
Some thirty cars ladened with provisions
and groceries, chiefly consigned to Government
agents, went to Washington to , day. A rigid
examination of all westward-bound trains is
still maintained.
All the bridges on the Northern Central
Railroad, between Harrisburg and seven miles
from Baltimore have been built.
FREDERICK, M. D., May. 9.
Two companies of volunteers for the seces
sion army from Baltimore,
composing an ag
gregate of 65 men, passed through here about
10 o'clock this morning on their way to Vir
ginia. They were under the command of Cap
tains'Welmore and Price, and were unarmed.
They stopped at Liberty last night. Their ap
proach created an alarm here, and the Home
Guard was under arms all night for the pro
tection of property. They marched through
the city protected by Gen. Shriver and the
Sheriff. Their very tattered conditica excited
ridicule rather than indignation.
About 400 Kentuckians of Col. Bantem Dun
can's command are said to have arrived at
Hari er's Ferry. They were without arms.
A cavalry force of 400 men, from Carlisa Bar
racks, encamped last night on Marshe's Creek,
near Emmitsburg, en route to Washington.—
They are expected to pass near Frederick to
night.
