HARRISBURG, PA Tnesday Afternoon, May 21,1861 THE LIGISLATIME, at its late session, recom_ mended the establishment of a Military Profes sorship in all the colleges and high schools in the state of Pennsylvania. We trust that the recommendation will be followed by the action of those to whom it is addressed, and that the youth of the old Keystone will be trained to martial as they have heretofore been reared to manly and intellectual perfection. The idea is a good one, because it seeks the accomplish ment of a system of education the lack of which is a source of present embarrassment, and we hope that school directors and the faculty of every college will at once give it their atten tion. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS is doing all that a man possibly can do to defend and support his coun try in her hour of trial and danger. He has given his friends an example which they are emulating with unparalleled zeal. There is nothing like vicissitude to try the temper and the courage of a man. It a like elevates and ennobles, or it deposes and degrades a man. The national trouble, the great vicissitude which treason has cast in the path of the gov ernment, seems to have aroused the energy of Judge Douglas and called forth those great powers of his mind, for which he was heretofore as justly celebrated, as he is becoming distin guished by a patriotic bravery in this hour of darkness.

THE COTTON BOEBERS of England are on their knees to the cotton growers of the southern rebel Estates. The English government begins to show some sign of sympathy for the treason at the south, while the organs of this rebellion have for some time been predicting that John Bull would be compelled to join in an alliance with Jeff. Davis. We have no faith in this as sertion of alliance between England and a mob of desperate men arrayed against the purest, and simplest, and wisest government on God's footstool, and yet we have no right to expect aid, sympathy or neutrality from any of the potentates, autocrats, kings, princes or tyrants of the world. We have long been their won der. We have been the source of their fears and the object of their jealousy. All the friendship they ever professed for the United States, sprung from the secret hope that these states would some day become distracted—that they would be torn and rent in twain, and that the great experiment of man's capacity for self-government would become a bloody and destructive failure. We have a right to assert that the secret agents of every shade of abso lutism and aristocracy are at work in the south, adding fuel to the flame of rebellion = imparting 'venom to the rancor of trea son, and smilingly approving every act that tends to the humiliation of the federal government, the success of this stupen dous wrong, with the entire overthrow and de struction of civil liberty on this hemisphere.— The aristocracy of England and France sympa thize with the traitors of the south. The ar istocrrcy of England are as much opposed to the freedom of America as they are to the re forms of the British House of Commons.— They would be very willing to repudiate Uncle Tom's Cabin—to renounce their abolition and colonization scheme—if they could establish the same exclusiveness here that prevails in their own circles. The men, the great laboring and mechanical masses of this country, who are now struggling to rescue free institutions from the destruction of slavery, and fighting to preserve our govern ment in its majesty and pewer, have no right to expect the sympathy of an aristocracy, op posed in principle, in interest and ambition to the spirit which animates them. They dare, however, look to the masses of down-trodden Eur Ope. They dare look to the men whose hopes are alike centered in Columbia's success, as are the hopes of freedom, the hopes also of Columbia, And if this battle is to ba fought with the tyrants of the world, and the freemen of Europe are to engage with the freemen of America in a struggle with the oppressors and aristocracy of both—let the battle come now when the war•cry is on the gale, and the vic tory will be sooner and grander for civil and re ligious liberty throughout the world. SHELTER THE SOLDIER We are extremely pained to hear the frequent complaints that are made in regard to the treat ment of the volunteers. We understand-that the men from the Northern tier of counties have not recieved a change of clothing since they came here, more than three weeks since. They were told, when they left their comfort able homes, that they need not bring any clothing with them—that they would at once receive clothing from the Government. Act ing upon this assurance they came with but a scanty supply, composed of common every day clothing. They have been here for three long weeks, and been compelled to wear that suit through wet and dry weather, hoping from day to day for a change. We learn that Quarter Master Hale has full authority to provide them with all necessary clothing, and we are thei e fore at a loss to understand the delay. If he has not the authority to do so let him ac quaint the public with the fact. If he has the authority to do so, the public consider hia ne glect a flagrant and unpardonable failure to dis charge his duty. These complaints are becoming too frequent longer to he disregarded, and while the officers are enjoying the comforts and luxuries which their privileges and position afford, it would be well for them to look after the necessary means for preserving the health of their men, and in crease their habits of cleanliness by affording them proper means and clothing. It is a fact which has long been a matter of conversation, that there is an attempt to create too wide a line beneath the officers and the men in the military organization of the state. There is too much assumption on one side, and too little attention on the other, ever to beget confidence or respect. If the officers neglect the men, the men are bound to neglect the service, until the efficiency of the army will be lost in its de moralization and inertness. An officer should share with his men such accommodation as is afforded for their shelter, and when he refuses to do this, he is unworthy of a command. His position only renders him superior in com mand, not in sensibility or feeling. He is only a man joined with men for the accomplish ment of a manly and patriotic purpose. He left the walks of society and business with his equals, and no rank, no title or power can so elevate him as to render him above sharing equally with all the dangers, the inconvenience and the deprivation of the camp. Hie hours of relaxation have no right to be longer than the commonest soldier. His opportunities for plea sure no greater than his companion and fol lower in battle—and when he exceeds and at tempts to overreach any of these privileges, he becomes, as we have written, unworthy the confidence and respect of his men. Our sol diers and volunteers do not represent mere brute force. they have not been drafted against their will and forced to obey arbitrary com mands or submit to overbearing conduct. They or as men Va I yMADII they must be treated, upon them. We appeal to Gov. Curtin to make it a per sonal matter to see that the volunteers in camp are properly treated, and also to scan closely the conduct of some of his subordinates. All hese complaints cannot be unfounded, and we are satisfied that greater vigilance is necessary to ensure both the comfort and the health of the soldiers: We are as anxious to defend the volunteers, as we are to vindicate the Execu tive from any blame in this matter. LET JUST IC& RE DONE TO THE POOR SOLDIER. We will not spare the men who may attempt to make for tunes at their expense, and we are determined to pursue this subject until all complaint is si lenced by satisfying the volunteers. THECAMPAIGNAND ITSCOIVSEQUENCES. Since the commencement of hostilities by the rebels and traitors at Charleston, the campaign, if we may so call it, has been confined to the checking of a mob spirit in Maryland, the gar • risoning of points along the railroads travers ing that State;—the occupation of Washington city,—the blockading of ports in the Seceded States, with the encounters in Baltimore and St. Louis, that resulted in bloodshed. Added to this there w re several prizes captured and quantities oi arms and amurdtion seized while on its way to the rebels—to which we can add the invasion of the State of Maryland and a late demonstration near Williamsport, by a body of armed traitors, joined to a few Indians. The movement in this direction was attracted by the large quantities of provisions lately stored in that depot, but which have all been distributed to the different encampments. The force of the campaign is in the steady and admirable preparations which the govern ment at Washington has been engaged in for a month. There are now fifty thousand troops within three hours transport of Washington city, a force amply sufficient for any present demonstration. It is anticipated that the elec tions in Virginia to-morrow will demonstrate at least the intention of the people of that state, by the mockery of suffrage over-awed by the force of arms. Virginia is to decide whether she shall remain true in her allegiance to the Union, or whether she should join the raid against the constitution and laws, and become ensanguined in fraternal strife. The first battle will have a great effect upon the movements of both the government and the rebels. Wehave the material and resources of victory in our midst. We have the means and the men. Are they so disciplined and posted as to insure victory? Those in charge of these forces will be responsible for any re sult that may follow. Those who have aspired to command, must lead when the hour of bat tle comes, and far better would it be for them to encounter death at the cannon's mouth, than to lead our brave brethren through any battle without bearing victory from its field. Tan Mexceuvans of the rebels along the bor ders of Pennsylvania, rre of course only so many feints to attract the government from watching their real design. There has been for some time from three to six thousand ragged rebels within thirty miles of Chambersburg, but these creatures are not so anxious for fight as their backers in Richmond would have the world suppose them to be, nor will they precip itate the war to further encounters by invading Pennsylvania. A few days must develop some startling movements in Virginia. penttspluattia Moth) etetegrapt), aueobap 'afternoon, illall 21, 1861. The first duty of a soldier is obedience—the second cleanliness. The pride of a soldier, too, is as much in appearing to advantage as con ducting himself valiant, decorous and bravely. Unless be is properly armed and accoutered, the soldier is ill at ease, and of course ineffi cient. Unless he is well cared for, he cares less for the purposes for which he enlisted, and loses the seal he brought into the cause through the neglect, the injustice and outrage heaped upon him by those in authority. Of late we have heard much of this neglect and injustice. We cannot close our ears to the complaints, coming from all quarters, sustained by whole regiments, and corroborated by entire encamp ments. There must be some cause for these repeated murmurs, some truth in the continued complaints, and some real danger in the indig nation which begins to show itself in every en campment in Pennsylvania. The subject of army clothing constitutes the principal grievance, the great source of com plaint. We have been watching this feature of the preparation, and it is useless longer to suppress public opinion. A great outrage has been committed, an outrage alike against all law and decency, as well as on the patriotism, the devotion and the humanity of the volun teers of Pennsylvania. Its authors must be brought to justice and punishment, at what ever cost of power, position, labor or money. To permit them to escape is to compound felony and invite further acts of villainy, speculation and theft. On the subject of this imposition, the North American prints the following item : A company of the Home Guard procured their uniforms from a merchant tailor, at $9 50 for full suits of sack and pantaloons. The charge made to the State for the uniforms got ten up in the Girard House, was $l2 00 per suit. lu the former case the suit was made to measure, trimmed in good style, and provided with artillery buttons. The pants, aside from the stripe down the side, were as neat and well made as any gentleman would desire fur ordi nary wear. 'the question now is, do the Home Guards pay too little for their uniforms, or does the State pay too much ? There is only two acceptions to this state- meat. If we receive it as the truth, the guilty parties should be repenting in the penitentiary. If it is false, a gross libel has been printed, which should be atoned for by law. But here is another paragraph from Forney's Press, which is suggestive of the most terrible suspicion : In the recently published report of the "dis bursements of the military fund of the State," it is shown that over fourteen thousand yards of gray cadet cassintere were purchased at one dollar and ten cents per yard. What use was made of these goods? I have examined a large num ber of the overcoats and pantaloons furnished the troops of the State, but have failed to de tect anything like one dollar and ten cent cas simere in them. The blouses are all made of blue flannel, so that it could not have been used for that purpose. Will Mr. Martin or some other person familiar with the matter en lighten us a little upon this interesting point ? No doubt the cassimere was properly appro priated to public use, but the question is, what INraktrri. ea uiopeci with. it ? Speak out, There is something very strange in these re peated queries, charges and statements, ema nating from and contained in some of the most respectable journals of Philadelphia. They must be explained. Those who are in power must not for a moment forget that they are any other than mere servants of the people, to whom they are strictly answerable, and by whom they will be sternly held accountable for every act of wroug,every deed of oppression,and every speculation, in arming and equipping the volunteers of Pennsylvania. SECRETARY SETVARD ON TREASON. The following letter from Secretary Seward, defines the law of treason in very simple and forcible language : DEPARTMENT OS' STATE, WASHINGTON, May 16, 1861. } SIR :—I have received your letter of yester day's date, asking me to give you in writing, my reasons for considering an acceptance on your part of Governor Letcher's proposition to purchase the steamships Yorktown and James town, recently seized by his orders and now in his possession, an act of treason. With this request I readily comply. An insurrection has broken out in several of the States of this Union, including Virginia, designed to overthrow the Government of the United States. The execu tive authorities of the State are parties to that insurrection, and so are public enemies. Their action in seizing or buying vessels to be em ployed in executing that design is not merely without authority of law, but is treason. It is treason for any person to give aid and comfort to public enemies. To sell vessels to them, which it is their purpose to use as ships-of war, is to give them aid and comfort. To receive money from them in payment for vessels which they have seized for these purposes would be to convert the unlawful seizure into a sale, and would subject the party so offending to the pains and penalties of treason, and the Govern ment would not hesitate to bring the offender to punishment. I am, sir, your obedient ser vant, WM. H. SEWARD. To G. HEINEKEN, Esq., Agent New York and Virginia Steamship Company, Washington. THE most distressed indiViduals are the offi cers of the army, navy, and marine corps who have resigned their commissions and_hunger to return to the service they deserted. Even if it were desirable to have them back, there are too many eager to get their places to render it practicable. James Buchanan, late President of the United States, said of these worthies in his letter to the National Intelligencer of a recent date : "A military oath has ever been held sacred in all ages and in all countries. Besides the solemn sanctions of religion, there is superad ded the highest appeal to personal honor.— Every military officer swears that he will bear true allegienoe to the United States, and serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies and (opposers whatsoever. They do not swear to support the constitution of any State. Educated by the United States, they belong to the federal government in a peculiar sense. Whilst I can imagine why an officer might resign rather than shed the blood of citizens of his native State in war, yet it is diffi cult to excuse or palliate the next step, which is to go over to the enemy and make war upon the time honored flag of the country." Gov. CURTIN, accompanied by Gen. McCalla and other prominent army officers, visit Easton to-day for the purpose of selecting a site for an encampment. It is deemed by many good sol diers, that that point is too far from the line of operation for an encampment. As near to the Pennsylvania and North Central Railroad, it should be the policy of the State Govern ment to locate all its sites for encampments. CLOTHING PATRIOTISM AND PROTECTION. They say that consistency is a jewel, and if so, there is a jewel of consistency in the follow ing letter of the Secretary of War, addressed to the Chief Engineer, in reply to a note from that gentleman, recommending the admission, duty free, of two cases of linen drilling, imported for the use of the Military Academy. It seems that some of the young gentlemen attached to the army, are unwilling to trust the complex ion of their precious bodies to the touch of any but an imported article of linen, in which lack of confidence in the home article, the Secretary of War cannot agree. True to his devotion to the American mechanic, and determined to protect all branches of American industry, General Cameron leaves no opportunity pass to promote these great objects of his life, and to secure by all honorable means, their success and prosperity. There is a simplicity and terseness in the re buke which it administers to the students of the military Academy, equally applicable to older men in different spheres of life, and which can be read with profit by all classes of the American people : The Secretary of War cannot, with his views of public duty, approve this recommendation of the Chief Engineer. He can discover no reason why, at a time like the present, the ca dets at West Point should be furnished with fine imported linen instead of a domestic manu factured article, when the officers and privates now in actual service iu the field are not suffi ciently well provided with clothing, even of home manufacture. He is, moreover, deeply impressed-with the conviction that the policy of the government should at all times be to prefer domestic manufactures in all instances of purchases for the public service, and to resort to foreign markets for such articles only as can- I not be obtained in this country. Satisfied that i linen drillings can be obtained in the home market that will auswer all the purposes of I those proposed to be imported, he feels obliged to withhold his approbation from this recom mendation. SLMON CAMERON, May 8, 1861 FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL CorrelponJence of the Telegraph.] HEAD QUARTERS LOCHIEL GREYS, Fort of West, 4i street, Washington, May 19, 1861. Before leaving home we promised to pencil you a line whenever an opportunity presented itself. You will not, of course, look fur any items on such little things which from time to time occur among the Greys. On Thursday morning we left our loved ones at home to march to Washington in defence of our country. Our route to Mason's and Dixon's line was very monotonous, but from the line to Balti more it was one continued ovation. The Ameri can flag could be seen floating from the houses, barns and tree tops in every direction—at nearly every house the ladies and children sa luted us with waving handkerchiefs and cheer ful smiles, but singular to say we etw few men and less approval from them. At Cockeysville we met our gallant friend Capt. J. M. Eyster, Lieut. J. Wesley Awl and many others of the Cameron Guard. On our march through Balti more we brought up the rear, and were gener ally taken for regulars guarding the Carbon {We City Guards, Who were ununiformed. We we found one living soul patrickiie enough to salute our flag, which was carried by Mr. Par ker, and the only colors displayed by the troops. After we passed Ross street many ladies saluted and praised us as we marched by. From Ross street on to the Washington depot the crowd cheered us; at one place ninelrousing cheers were given for the "Lochiel Greys," the only company that dared carry the United States flag through the Monumental city. While at the depot the crowd gathered around us and talked freely with us. They, almost to a mao, deprecated the ruthless attack of the 19th ult., blaming Marshal Kane in no unmeasured terms. They say all the polke are secessionists, but they treated us kindly nevertheless, for which they have our thanks. Our guard, under the control dlff Sergeant Brooks, were not so well secured as we. They tell us that even the women shook their fists I at them. This tokens no little ill feeling to wards our self-sacrificing and patriotic soldiers. I verily believe that had not the Michigan regiment been in front of us, and the Govern ment forces closely at hand, we should have had a hot reception. Our muskets were loaded with conical balls, and each man had his sup ply of cape and cartridges, ready for any emer gency. We had made up our minds fully what to do in case of an attack, and that was to do anything but run away. We arrived in Wash ington at eleven P. M., and quartered in Union Hall, corner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, until about four P. M., yesterday, when we were marched to our present pleasant and agreeable quarters, on the batik of the Poto mac, close to the U. S. Arsenal. While in Union Hall our boys had but one meal sup plied them—there is a restaurant under the Hall, where some of us had ordered a supper the night we arrived. Tired and hungry as we were, and with the smoking beef before my eyes, I had to leave it. It went "mighty" hard, but the duty of a soldier is to obey ; I did obey, and slept soundly upon my blanket on the floor until morning. No dinner was furnished the Greys; but by invitation from our respected citizen, A. J. Jones, Esq., whom we met on the avenue, E. H. and myself dined with him at the National, just across the way. While at the National, we had the pleasure'of meeting His Excellency Gov. Ramsey, well known to Harrisburgers. While at Union Hall Mrs. Gen. Cameron, Mre. J. D. Cameron and Mrs. Burnsides called to see es. We also bad the pleasure of a visit from John L. Speel, plea sant Harry Ihoritas, and several Washington residents, formerly of Harrisburg. Our first supper at our - new quarters, after hav ing no dinner, was a cup of coffee. Atter supper General Cameron called to see us, and was received with roaring cheers and many warm welcomings. Major Br ua Cameron and J. D. Cameron, Ets, also visited us. How delighted the Greys were to see all those familiar faces. It seemed so much like home. Up to this time every man was well and in good spirits, but the extraordinary drill of two hours and twenty minutes before breakfast, with empty, craving stomachs, created much dissatisfaction and some sickness. lam sorry for this, as it was the first, and I do sincerely hope it will he the last cam for any complaint, because we love our gallant Captain and Lieu tenants. We have been living so much like a baud of patriotic brothers that it would be a pity to mar those pleasant feelings. We are greatly indebted to our Captain and his friends for our quarters, so beautiful and cheery. At first we were told that we were to be quartered on Arlington Heights, a prominent summer resort for Washingtonians. We should liked to have gone there, but we are perfectly de lighted with our Situation. It will take some time to get in working order and have our cuisine suited to our wants or actual necessities, all things considered. The U. S. Arsenal is in rout of us. It is from here we obtain our provisions, and I believe we shall be well sup plied, because, as I understand, our townsman, Francis R. Shunk, is the Assistant Commissary. When our boys were told of it, all the boys said "bully for that.," As lam "weary and war worn," and will be called for duty in a few minutes, dear Tatauxtult / will bid you adieu, hoping to let you hear again from me in the course of our btu,' here.

" Ten Regiments are assigned to Pennsylva nia, making, in addition to the thirteen regi ments of three months already called for, twenty-three regiments. It is important to reduce rather than enlarge this number, and in no event to exceed it." Pennsylvania has already furnished to the United States service twenty-five regiments.— Of this number at least ten regiments —the amount of the second requisition—have signi fied a willingness to change their term of ser vice from three months to three years. No more companies, therefore, from this Common wealth can now be received for the United States Government. By order of the Governor, Commander-in - Chief, E. M. BIDDLE, Adjutant General.
