Ettegraplj. 31ARRIBBURG Friday Afternoon, May 94,1831. _ r.NION ENVELOPES, Note Paper and Badges call be had at Bergner's Book Store. Tae SVPREMB COURT of Pennsylvania, Middle District, met in this city last Monday, and re mained in session three or four days. SIIRETY of 7II& PEACE.—A. personal difficulty occurred between Maiy Faley and Mary Sane, which culminated In the prosecution and ar rest of the former, who was hound over to keep the peace towards the prosecutrix in particular and the community in general. I=Cl=l REV. DR. BARTLE; the former popular pastor of the Locust street Methodist church in this city, is announced to deliver an address at Al lentown next Wednesday, on the occasion of raising the "star spangled banner" over the Methodist church edifice. We predict that the address will be creditable to the !lead and heal t of the eloquent and patriotic Divine, and wor thy of the occasion. THE CHESTER VALLaT Tree.—This newspaper has lately changed hands, by the withdrawal of Mr. Giffin, and is now edited with considera ble ability by Messrs. Henderson and Stevens. The last named gentleman was engaged in this office the greater portion of the past winter in the capacity of compositor. We greet brother Stevens welcome into the ranks editorial, and wish him the success he deserves. PRINTERS IN THE WAR. No profession has shown more loyalty to the stars and stripes, since the call was first issued for vulunteers, than the knights of the "stick and rule." Al most every office in the State has furnished its recruits. The army contains no more patriot ic or chivalrous men, none who will acquit themselves more gallantly or reap more laurels, than these printer-soldiers. THE QUOTA OF DAUPHIN COUNTY, under the late Act of Assembly, is two companies. One, the Cameron Infantry of Middletown, has al ready been accepted and is now in camp. Ten ders of service have been made by the Gratz town Cavalry, and the Kepner Fencibles of this city, but the Governor has not yet decided which of the two to accept. The members of these companies are exceedingly anxious to be enlisted in the "war for the Union," and we hope both will be accepted. I=l Two BANDS OF Music, one from Reading and the other from Phoenixville, arrived here last evening, having been engaged as Regimental Bands. The former goes to Washington to be connected with the fifth regiment, and the latter to Camp Scott. The Beading City Band, Capt. Ermentrout, which is a very excellent one, serenaded several of our citizens last night., among the number the editor of the TzisoEtAPll, and played a number of popular airs in their usual inimitable style. The music was properly appreciated by the gentlemen thus compli mented. Damn FRUIT, such as apples, peaches, &c., if served out as part of the rations, even in small quantities, for the troops, would promote their health. Constant eating of meat and bread causes costiveness, with which some of the men are already affected. Then will come pills —calomel doses, in some shape—to afford tem porary relief, but to do more ultimate injury than bullets or bayonets. We pray, fur the men's sake, that there may be some care to provide fruit, if possible. Anything but pills. C.,ffee is also had—tending to billious complaints .Cheese is also recommended as part of the ra tions. Goy , * Homs.—The Potter It'fies, a company of fine-looking, able-bodied and intelligent men, who arrived here some three weeks ago, and have remained in Camp Curtin up to this time in a ragged and starving condition, yes terday disbanded owing to their non- coept mace by the Gdvernor, and ab..mt fifty of them determined to return home. We print in an other column a well-written and patriotic card from the Rifles, explanatory of their action, and de,criptive of thar life in Camp, whi h speaks for itself. It is to be regretted that the country has, by the injudicious course of the powers that be," lost the services of a body of men who are not surpassed in gallantry or patrlotiem by any troops in the volunteer service. I=l INDEPENDENCE DAY.—It is proposed by some of our exchanges that a glorious old fashioned celebration of the Fourth of July be held at the county seat of every county in the loyal States. What say the people of Dauphin ? We can, if we will, have.a grand military and civic demonstration, worthy of the occasion and creditable to the Capital City of the old Key stone State. There will be a number of mili tary companies in camp here at that time, and no doubt the various fire companies, lodges of Free Masons and Odd Fellows, United American Mechanics, etc., in this city, would participate iu the 'patriotic demonstration. If ever there was a time In the history of the country, when Independence Day should be appropriately observed and honored by our loyal citizens, that time is now, when the tem ple of Liberty is shaken to its centre by the as saults of armed rebels and traitors. Let us, then, prepare to welcome the coming anniver nary of the birth-day of freedom with the rime ing of bells, the roar of cannon, the blazing of bonenes, the flaunting of gay flags and banners, the sounds of martial music, and the joyous shouts of fie:l:nen who appreciate the blessings of civil and religious liberty : Let music well the breeze, And ring Goat all the trees Sw e, Freedom's s, , Let mortal tomtues aWa,e,• Let all that hriethe pait.ke Let rocks their break' The Sound prow nt . ',and Where our lathers MEL Land of the pdalti's pride Freth every taenetaid aide Let Protium ring. ANOTHER CAMP.—It is stated that Governor Curtin contemplates establishing a military camp somewhere between Chambersburg and Pittsburg, and that Blairsville b 3 one of the points under consideration. -....---- THE NEW MILITARY CORPS, originated by members of the Citizen Fire Company, will meet in the hall of the engine house this even ing to perfect an orginiz ttion, elect officers, and adopt a name and st , i le of uniform. The "boys" connected with this new and spirited corps have already made rapid progress in the ;inquisition of military knowledge under the effective instruction of Dr. Seiler and other ex perienced drill officers. I=l SHIRTS FOE THE SOLDIEES.—SeveraI ladies of this city have raised, by contribution, money fur the purchase of two or three webs of mus lin, which they intend making up into shirts and presenting to soldiers in Camp Curtin who are in a lagged condition, and destitute of the means to procure under-clothing. Heaven will reward the wcmen who are nobly aiding the cause of the Union by ministering to the wants and promoting the comfort of our gallant vol unteers. }KEPNER FENOISL.V3.—The ranks of this com pany are now filled and a teuder of services has been made to the Governor. Onr friend Mr. Samuel Wilt, an old Mexican campaigner, is Captain of the company, and a better selec- tion could not have been made. He has mili tary experience, and possesses in an eminent degree all the qualities requisite to make a popular and successful commanding officer. A. meeting of the Fencibles will be held at Ex change Hall this evening, when the subordin ate officers will be elected and a permanent or ganization effected, with a view to enter the service immediately, in the event of their ac ceptance. HARRISBURG AND TIER WAR. —No city of the same population in the State has turned out as many volunteer soldiers, in response to the the call ofPresident, as the city of Harrisburg. We have now four companies in service—the Cameron Guard, State Capital Guard, Verbeke Rifles and Lochiel Greys. A fifth company, just organized, have tendered their services and will probably be accepted ; and one or two more are in prccess of organization. The Capitolians are patriotic people, and will do their full share in aiding the government to crush out rebellion and treason, preserve the Union, maintain the Constitution and enforce the laws. TRE GROWING CROPS are said to look very fine not only in Dauphin county, but throughout the °tate. The grass crop will be heavy, ow ing to the recent rains. The fields of wheat and rye look healthy and promising—here and there may be found a bare spot where the grain froze out, but those patches are rare and will not seriously affect the crop. Considerable corn is In the ground, and some of it already up. The fruit is not as much injured as was antici pated a few weeks ago. Altogether, there is no reason to complain. The farmers are as busy as bees. They feel that they can serve their country best by cultivating their broad fields and thus furnishing supplies to our troops, and they will do it. ARRIVAL op MILITARY.—This morning a com pany of Flying Artillery, under command of Capt. Charles Campbell, of filexicau-war fame, arrived here from York, which place they left About midnight, and proceeded directly to quarters in Camp Curtin. The company num bered about eighty fine looking men, a number of them mounted, with six brass Said pieces drawn by horses, truck and baggage wagons, etc. We noticed in the ranks our friend David Chambers, Esq., formerly an apprentice in the FELEORAPII office, and late District Attorney of Juniata county, who has abandoned alucrative practice in the legal profession to fight his country's battles. Whether the company is to remain at Camp Curtin or proceed to some other point, we have not been able to ascertain. Tau HAURISBIJEG Rims, a new company composed principally of young men between eighteen and twenty one-years of age, under the command of Capt. D. B. Beim, made a moonlight parade last evening, and acquitted themselves quite creditably, considering the short time they have been drilling. They went through a variety of difficult movements with a degree of accuracy and skill that would have done credit to older and more ex perienced soldiers. The permanent organiza tion of the company will be competed to-night The military enthusiasm now prevalent in this city is likely to result in the the formation of several permanent companies, so that in .the event of additional requisitions being made by the President, our "boys" will be prepared to enter the service as well drilled soldiers. ASSAULTED A WONAN.-A poet says, "the man who lays his hand upon a woman, save in the way of kindness, is a wretch whom 'twere based ittery to calla coward." Every communi ty is cursed with " wretch° i" of this descrip 'ion, and one of them turned up yesterday in Alderman Maglaughlin's office—a fellow named Fishinger—arrested for committing an assault and battery upon Mary Weller. He was bound over to answer the charge at the next Court. We know nothing of the origin of the sffiir, but we hold that under no cir cumstances is a man justifiable in laying vio lent hands upon a female, no matter what her character or condition in life. Almost daily individuals are arraigned before the Mayor and Aldermen on complaint of whipping their wives. Such men are a disgrace to their sex, and libels upon humanity. Dartrasa TES Sawa. BUYS.—Mr. Albert J. iger, who has considerable experience in mili tary tactics, designs regularly drilling the largest boys who attend the north ward schools. [ht movement is a good one, and should be inaugurated by all our public school teachers. The dill ing of the boys two or three times a week willbent fit them physically, and teachers will in this way train up an army of well drilled soldiers to fight the future battles of the nom try, should an emergency arise to demand their penttsplvania Mailp Zelcgtaph, friban 'Afternoon, Alan 21, lStit Tun WArt.Nt.ws caused int _rise sensation in the city this afternoon. Groups of excited men were congregated at tile various street cor ners engaged in earnest discussion of the tele graphic intelligence, and our sanctum was be sieged by crowds of people anxiously awaiting the issue of the TELEGRAPH The war is the absorbing topic in all circles. The assassination of the gallant Ellsworth is universally regret ted, and curses loud and deep are heaped upon the cowardly traitor by whose hand he fell. We look for stirring news to-night, and shall issue a large extra edition of the MORNING TELEGRAPH, containing all the intelligence re ceived up to midnight. DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.—It is our melan choly duty to chronicle the death of auother venerable and respected citizen of Dauphin county, BENJAMIN Jounas, Esq., who departed this life at his residence at Walnut Hill this morning. The deceased had been closely iden tified with the history of this county for many years, filled several important public trusts, and served in both branches of the Legislature with great credit to himself and acceptability to the people. He had an extensive acquaintance throughout the county, and shared largely in the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens. He was a scientific and successful agriculturist, au energetic husinss man, upright and honora ble in all his dealings with his neighbors, "one of God's noblest works an honest man," pos sessed a kindly and generous heart,, and was a true chtistian. He died full of years and hon ors, and with a blessed hope of a blissful im mortality. Peace to his ashes !

I===l WASEUNOTON, May 24-8 o'clock A, M Within a few hours past there have ha en im portant military movements. It was suspected yesterday that orders had been given for the advance of troops into VirgiLia, but these be ing necessarily of a secret character, the ex act truth could not at that time be reliably as certained. The New York 2d, 12th, 7th and 21st., regiments, the New Jersey and Mich: igan brigades, and Ccl. Ellsworth's Zouaves, were, so far as is at present accertained, consti tilted the forces to advance upon Virginia. Tne Washington City National Rifles, Capt. Smead, at about ten o'clock last night, passed over Long Bridge, which is about a mile in length and connects Wasbington with the Vir ginia shore, and remained at the tat ter terminus until two o'clock this morning, acting as an advance guard. These were tollowed by other district volunteer companies acting in a similar capacity. Subsequently the New York Secdnd and Twelfth rejbuents and the Michigan end New Jersey brigades crossed the bridge, the Virginia pickets having been driven in by the advance guard. One of the regiments took the road leading to Fairfax Court House about twenty mil, from Washington ; while another one of the New Jersey regiments stopped at the Forks, is mile from Long Bridge, to await for orders. An advance into Viiginia was a!ao made from another point, namely, the Potomac ac queduct, Giey town. The Seventh New Yoik Regiment was among those troops, and atte sveial hours march occupied a point between the Bridge and Goldin hi I, Springs on the Washington and Alexandria railro,d. It is understood that orders were issued yes terday for two Regiments to proceed to occupy Alexandria, and it is stated at this time that Col. Ellsworth's &naves have crossed over iu boats; while it is equally certain that prepara tions were made to stizs Arlington Heights, which plaiuly overlook Washington; and there is but little doubt that all these orders have been executed. It was at least two o'clock this morning be fore all the troops reached their destination. The troops w hien did not repair to Alexandria and Arlington Heights, were required to guard important intermediate points between Wash ington and Alexandria. The District of Columbia military did not return to Washington until half past six o'- clock this morning. From 6,000 to 10,000 troops were sent over into Virginia at an early hour this morning. Firing was heard, occasioned by the forcing of Virginia pickets. The city is in a great state or excitement owing to these proceedings, and further events are looked fur with intense so licitude. SECOND DISPATCH WASHINGTON-9 o'clock A. M The New York Z ivayss, Fourteenth and Sixty-ninth New York and New Jersey regi meets hold Alexandria, while Arlington Heigh is are occupied by say , rat other regiments. The entrance into Alexandria was attended by an event which has cast the deepest gloom over this community. Col. Ellsworth, who had hauled down the secession flag from the Mar shall House, wa3 soon after shut by a concealtd foe. His dad body has been brought over to the Navy Yard. The accounts from Alexandria are somewhat confused,but their is no doubt of the fact that a men named Jackson, who shot Col. Ellsworth. was instantly put to death, some say by both bullets and bayonet. When the Federal troops reached Alexandria the Virginia troops fired at them and fled. Visitors to that city say that the scenes were intensely exciting. The United States vessels were in the meantime before Alexandria. It seems to be true that a b idy of Fed, ral troops has advanced to Fairfax Court House, to take possession of the junction of the Orange & Alexandria and Manassas Gap Railroads, with the view of intercepting the advance of the Virginia troops towards Alexandria from Rich mond and other points. Nearly three thousands troops arrived here yesterday, curnplising some from New Yolk, and the two Ohio regiments. • A tbirdCounect cut regiment came in this morning. It is reported that as the Virginia troops re treated from Alexandria, one of them was killed by a return shot from the Federal forces. There is a prospect of capturing the fugilives. Among the forces sent over into Virginia were two batteries and two companies of Artil lery; numerous wagons, with spades, picks and other intrenchiog tools, also passed over into that State. The proceedings attending the movements of troops were conducted with the best possible order. The news of the death of Col. Ellsworth was not generally known throughout Washington until 10 o'clock this morning. The excitement was intense, espe,ially among tie military, who expressed the greatest impatience and a desire to be sent to Virginia. From a spy glass view of Alexandria, the -tats and stripes are prominently flying from various quarters. Several cap urea haring been wade in Ramp. ton roads before the expiration of the frftten days notice given by tee Government, of the Blockade, testitutiou has been ordered in such cases. Numerous wagons, with camp equipage, are pa-riot; ihrimgh the s reets Li-day to the Fed. eral troops in Virginia. Nothing of pecu iar note has since been re ceived up to this hour. Po,t, M ster G neral Blair prepared an order to-day discontinuing the transmission of the United States mail in Virginia and otlitr seced• mg States, and annulling all contracts for the same. Tennersee is excepted from the opera tion of the order, for the reason that that State has not formally seceded. This course of the Post Master General is under the act in re lation to the subj cc passed at the last session of Congress. Toe c-ntractots will be imme diately notified of tnis de, Lion. The mails for the South from Washington were stopped at the crossing place by the Ft•d eral troops, and were returned to the post office here. Arrival of a California Steamer.

I=l CHAMBERSIIIIRO, May 24. The officers who recently 'liaise a recouneliance ai far as Harper's Ferry, report that they learn ed there that a sentinel had been captured by means of a lariat, about a weetc before, from the Clamp here, and was carded to Hirp r'e Ferry, where he had been huog up twice to forte him to impart information to the rebels; with what success was not known. It is cer tain that a sentinel was ruirs-id and supposed to have deserted, and this informati , ,n con vincect the officers that the suspicion was un • ust. On Wednesday night a party of Virginians attempt, d to capture a ferry beat on the tomae, near Clear Spiing, Md. Notice was Oven to the Union men of Clear Spring, three miles distant, who turned on. to guard the boat. During the night the Virginians seiz.d the boat, but were fired upon by the guard, and when midway across had to abandon the prize. and escape in a skiff. It has been reliably as certained that two of the Virginians were shot. he Ferry boat was returned again to the Maryland shore. No reinforcements have reached Williams post. All is quiet here. EXPOSURE OF FRAUD PHILADELPHIA., May 24 Recent exposures made by the independent portion of the Press of Pennsylvania, regard ing the evident speculations in the Army sup plies in this city by contractors and those in power, have led to an investigation by the United States Grand Jury. Two blankets were taken berore them y estetday, one flimsy article, weighing one pound six ounces, the same as has generally been supplied to the Pennsylva nia troops at a cos t•f $3,60. The other was a Massachusetts' troop blanket, thick, warm, and closely woven, weighing seven pounds. So shameful has been the treat ment of many of the three month volunteers, that most of them will certainly return home as soon us their terms expire u less the State authorities show a better disposition to proti ct them from speculators, and fears are entertain ed of their demoralization. The s ate of affairs is most deplorable, espe cially from the fact that I"
