The Governor of Pennsylvania has received
item the War Department, at Washington, the
following announcement, in reference to the
second requisition of militia made by the Gen
eral Government.
"Ten liegiments are assigned to Penney] va
nis; making in addition to the thirteen regi
mentS. of three months already called tor,
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.

There seems to be a hearty concurrence of
opinion and action between the constitutional
advisers of President Lincoln. They have fully
come up alike to the public peril and to the
public expectation. Mr. Seward long since ap
predated his position, and anticpated the
future in which we now live, He admonished
I foreign governments that under no circum
stances would the present Administration
maintain relations with any nation recognizing
the Southern Confederacy, and his published
letter to Mr. Dayton, our new Minister to
France, is a chart by which none can be led
astray. Secretary Chase has brought to the
Treasury, that came to him after the spoliation
of Cobb dishonored and discredited, a genius
wail a courage..that have elevated it in the con
fidence of our peopTe and the world. - _ Mr.
Cameron has taken the War Department, left
to him by Floyd a reeking corpse of corruption,
and breathed into it a life and energy that re
call the best recollections of the War Ministers
of the great nations of the world. Compre
hensive, clear, bold, and vigilant, he preserves
his equanimity and good nature in the midst
of the tempest.
Officers and Men
Horses
....Field Pieces
...Ammunition
The Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Wells, sen
sible of the great truth expressed by Mr.
Everett in his last speech, "that no nation can
ever wage war without a navy," is at his post
directing the vast preparations for increasing
our navy, so as to make it equal to the demands
upon it in our own waters and in distant seas.
The Postmaster General, Mr. Blair, and the
Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Smith, having
less to do with the immediate war operations
of the administration, vigorously direct the
vast internal affairs in their hands, so as to
render the policy of the administration efficient
to back the friends and damage the foes of the
republic. The Attorney General, Mr. Bates,
has already shown his zeal in the good cause,
and his judgment and experience as a thorough
constitutional lawyer.
Thus, it will be seen, that the President is
well and willingly maintained by his Cabinet.
The crisis has developed the best qualities of
his advisers. It has extinguished all divisions
and rivalries, and the cause of the country has
clothed them with the panoply of the country's
confidence and the elevated hope of inevitable
triumph.—Washington City Sunday Morning Chro

To Goon TO Be Tans.—lmportant news
reaches us from the Texas frontier and North
western Louisiana, indicating that the rebels
of that region are experiencing an unexpected
" fire in the rear," which, if true, is likely to
prove anything but agreeable. It is stated by
the New Orleans papers of Saturday and Sun
day last, that Captain Montgomery, so well
known in connection with the Kansas troubles,
has organized a force of three thousand men in
that State, made a descent on the Texas fron
tier, and already captured Fort Washita, which
bad previously fallen into the hands of the reb
els. Forts Cobb and Arbuckle were also ex
pected to be occupied by Montgomery, in pur
suance of instructions from the War Depart
ment, through Major Emory, of the Regular
Army.. The Texans in that region were thrown
into the greatest state of consternation by this
sudden and unexpected movement, and were
wildly calling for arms and money to organize
a defence against expected incursions from
Montgomery and his men, in connection with
the unfriendly Indians. Expresses were sent
off in every direction for aid, and a number of
citizens of Shreveport, La., had written to Gov.
Moore of that State, asking him to interfere
for their protection, and if necessary telegraph
for arms to the Montgomery Government.

py the advanced posts from Cairo to Eastern
Virginia. They are not to be armed, except so
far as is necessary for self-defence, but from
their fleetness and knowledge of forest life, are
to be employed as messengers and auxiliaries
to the army on the outposts. He says they all

APPOINTMENT OF NATAL SUMMONS.
WASHINGTON, May 23.
The Virginians are voting on Secession to
day, and of course there is little or no opposi
tion to it in this neighborhood.
The military at Alexandria voted yesterday.
i he result was 138 for ratifying the ordinance,
2 against it, and 4 refused to vote. If this Is
the - almic military trutc, the, rabol for= at Al
exandria is not very formidable.
The Secretary of War has accepted three
regiments from Pennsylvania above her quota.
They are the 12th, nth and 16th.
The Government declines to accept a regi
ment of Indians from Michigan, offered by
George Copway.
SECOND DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, May 23
The voting at Alexandria, to-day, is going
on quietly. As they vote in Virginia viva voce,
no one dares to vote for the Union. There are
said to be two thousand rebel troops at Alex
andria. [ff this is correct, the military vote
reported above must have been that of only a
portion ef the troops ]
The President declared, this morning, to a
prominent gentleman who had an interview
with him, that there would he no invasion of
the rebel States before next autumn. By that
time the army will be in perfect condition and
discipline, and well supplied in every rebpect.
The New York Thirteenth Regiment now at
Annapolis, go to Fortress Monroe to-day.
Senator Foote, of Vermont, is pressing the
War Department to accept two more regiments
from that State.
Information has been received here from
Richmond that the extensive cannon foundry
there is in full operation.
THIRD DISPATCH
WASHIINTON, May 23
A letter from Virginia states that there are
between 50,000 and 60,000 men under arms in
that State. They are chiefly posted at Rich
mond, Norfolk and Harper's Ferry, or.within
hailing distance of those points.
It is also stated that private advices confirm
the report of a large arrival of arms at the
South from abroad. These were shipped from
Europe early in April, and consist of over 200,-
000 muskets and rifles, and ample supplies of
powder and percussion caps, and machines for
making the latter article.
A private company has been organized at
Alexandria, Virginia, to convey letters to the
North, as after next week all letters destined
for the North will lie over at that city. All
mail intercourse with points north of Virginia
will cease on the first of Tune. Tile Post office
Department has as yet taken no action in view
of the contemplated southern independent
mail arrangements.
The appearances indicate that separate offers
for bonds or treasury notes, and alternative
offers for the former at current rates, and for
the latter ar par, will exceed the nine millions
called fur. The desirableness and importance
of this result creates some solicitude that it
may not fail of being realized.
Much speculation is indulged in as to the
movements of troops fur active service ; but
those who, it is presumed, are best acquainted
with such matters, say that no inva , lun into
the hear,t of any State is now contemplated,
and that the operations will be principally cow
fined to the recapture of the public propertypin
the maintenance of the defensive works still in
the possession of the United States.
Much deference is paid to the views of Lieut.
Gen. Scott, and it is known that he is not
fttam tinting gars.
