The Governor of Pennsylvania has received
from the War Department, at Washington, the
following announcement, in reference to the
second requisition of militia made by the Gen
oral Government.
"Ten ttegiments are assigned to Pennsylva
nia, making in addition to the thirteen regi
ments of three months already called tor,
tweuty•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
Unit,d States service twenty-five regiments.—
Of this number at least ten regiments —the
amount of the secnnd requisition—have signi
fied a willingness to change their term of ser
vice from three months to three years. No
more companiee, therefore, from this Common
wealth can now be received for the United
States Government.

Each spot with tender mem'ries bleat,
Where'er our footspeps tread.

And feel that we are slaves ?
No, never I let us rather die,
And sleep in honored graves—

Our glaring eyes last look in death,
Fixed on our banner tree I

The Cabinet of President Lincoln.
There seems to be a hearty concurrence or
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
' pleciated his position, and antic pated the
future in which we now live. He admonished
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. Day tun, our new Minister to
France, is a chart by which none can be led
astray. Secretary Chase has brought to the
lreasury, that came to him after the spoliation
of Cobb dishonored and discredited, a genius
and a courage that have elevated it in the con
fidence of our people 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.
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
nicle.
To Goon TO BE Tsca.—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 organised a force of three thousand men in
that State, made a descent on the Texas fron
tier, and already captured Fort Washita, which
had previously fallen into the hands of the reb
-1 •
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 I
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 iuterfeie
for their protection, and if necessary telegraph
for arms to the Montgomery Government.

WASHINGTON, May 28.
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.
The result was 138 for ratifying the ordinance,
2 against it, and 4 refused to vote. If this is
the whole military vote, the rebel force at Al
exandria is not very formidable.
The Secretary of War has accepted three
regiments from Pennsylvania above her quota.
They are the 12th, 13th 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. [if this is correct, the military vote
reported above must have been that of only a
portion of the troops ]
The President declared, this morning, to a
prominent gentleman who had an interview
with him, that there would be 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 respect.
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-
WASHIVTON, May 23.
A letter from 'Virginia states that there are
between 50,000 and 0,000 men under arins 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 compahy 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 June. The 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 in va.iun into
the heart of any State is now contemplated,
and that the operations will be principally con
fined to the recapture of the public property, in
the maintenance of the defensive works canal
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
