We publish on the &st page of this after noon's Tamonarit, a map giving an accurate and interesting account and view of Cairo, the seat of war in the west, combining with it the approaches and surroundings, and also of St. Louls, the scene of such sanguinary and des truetiVe events within the last few weeks. This map will prove very valuable for refer ence, and should therefore be preserved by the readers of the Uranium Cairo commends the commerce of the Missis sippi, and is the key to a vast extent of west ern territory. Its possession by the forces of the government is one of the most Important in the entire line of its operations. From Cairo, New Orleans is as completely blockaded as If the federal batteries were at the north of the Mississippi—while the batteries of Cairo themselves sweeps both the Ohio and the Mis sissippi rivers. We direct the attention of the reader to the map, with its aecoaq..anying description, as a document of interest and value. MICHIGAN TO PENNSYLVANIA The following letter from the Governor of Michigan to the Governor of Pennsylvania, is a handsome acknowledgment of the hospitality extended to the troops of the former State by the people and authorities of Pennsylvania: MIUTARI DEPARTMENT, MIOIIIG&N, EXECUTIVE OFE/CS, Detroit, Kay 2i,1861 To Big Daslimey Andrew G. Curtin; Dna Sea :—I have been informed by Col Wilkins of the great kindness and attention shown by your Excellency to the Michigan Re giment on their way to Washington. I beg you to accept my most hearty thatks for this generous compliment to our people, which aught to be prized the more became it is in ac cordance with the ancient renown of rennsyk vania. We may rejoice at length to know that we have a government, and I hope It may soon show itself quick to reward gallantry, and equally so to punish insults and iojuties. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, AUSTIN . BLAIR. Governor of Michigan rirE ARMY AND NAVY. The United States have at greg expense erect ed two institutions to instruct the youth of the eountry 'and fit them for officers of the Army and Navy. We mean the Naval School now at Portland, and the Military Academy, at West Point. The disaffection of the south 'has created a very large number of vacancies In these institutions, caused by the withdraw al *1 southern students. The regulations havtag been that the students mainly should be nominated ,by members of Congress from their own districts. Besides the doubtful ex pediency of educating officers for the Rebel Army and Navy, is it not important that the vacancies in these two institutions should be supplied from the north, for the purpose of supplying the ranks of the Northern Army with well disciplined Gflicera? It is hoped Ciongress will at an early day provide that Ole existing vacancies may be supplied from the loyal portion of the Union, and that the iscancies are at once supplied. The very able manner in which the Senior clam of West Point Academy are acquitting themselves in drilling the raw retunits at Washington, meets with the admiration and approval of alt who have been present at their drilla, and their gentlemanly and gentle de portment, the respect of the rank and file un der their tuition. 4NEWFRAUD The following dispatch explains one which sneered in the morning edition of the Tuis 11141nrtiiday : TELIOSLPH Ono 1 .

Who the guilty parties were, that furnished the fraudulent diepatch at the office An the East, the operators there must ex plain, or allow all the agents of the Associated Press to-be suspected of some complicity in this liminess. This is our opinion of the matter, p ah 1y end frankly given. The dispatch alluded to in ate above card INS regularly received by us from the reporters of the Associated Press. Corning from such a Salim and paying liberally for their tele ', 'graphic service, we had a right to believe that tun.* was reliable and correct. -And that proven' k it us otherwise, the, repo tere of the Assoploted Frets mast explain. WHAT WE MAY . EXPECT. The men who are Just engaging in the bat tles of the government have a right to expect a great many hard knocks, and they must be prepared to return as many rough blows. How ever we may assert that the cause of secession to not supported with the unanimity that is claimed for it, there are yet rallied beneath its banners hordes of the most desperate men, who will struggle until the last hope expires to secure success, and when that becomes utterly hopeless, they will turn their war to revenge, rapine, murder, incendiarism, or any diabolical act which will carry misery and death with its perpetration. We may expect this and more. We must expect no mercy at the hands of men who have no right to anticipate mercy from a government which they have so terri bly outraged. But more particularly what this government may expect is, whatever may be our policy, that foreign powers will interfere In this contest, directly or indirectly, as the case may be, for the gratification of a hatred that is innate In them against the free institu tions of the world. We have a right to ex pect this, and - mutt, therefore, be prepared to meet the emergency in any shape in which it may present itself, and, if possible, over come such a difficulty as we hope to overcome the difficulties in the seceded states. We object to foreign interference, and the government has expressly declared that it will tolerate no offers either to mediate, arrange' or adjust the dif ferences between that government and the rebels. Bat how are we to prevent the silent sympathies of the monarchs of Europe with the rebels of the south ? How are we to prevent them from giving aid in shapes such as the vigi lance of a blockade cannot detect, and which may have a tendency even of creating sympa thy for the rebels among the masses of Europe. It is a serious fact In the beginning of this con test, that the leading journal In England, the London Tines, has the services of a correspond ent is this country, whose first descriptions of the first conflict between the government and the rebels, are as false as aristocratic prejudice could make tbem, and leaned as near to sympa thy with rebellion as it was natural for that toady cockney writer to do, without inviting a suspicion that he was an accessory to the re bellion. Whatever may be the professions, of the kings and princes of Europe, they have no respect for the institutions, forming the basis of this govermnent, and we have no right to expect neutrally in their views of our difficul ties. The equality that we preach and prac tice, is the thing which they despise and forbid. The rights which we guarantee to all men, are just what they deny as essential to their hap piness, claiming that the mass of men were created to be governed and not to govern.— What right, then, have we to expect the aid or the sympathy of the governments of Europe in this struggle. We may claim that it is the duty of one government to aid another in maintaining its authority within its own limits. England, France and Russia extended such aid to Austria when the Hungarians raised the banners of revolt within her domains, but that was a revolution waged against the divine right of kluge to rule, and not a rebellion to overthrow a government simply because it enforces no political distinct- Lions, and recognizes every man as an equal in all its directions, until he diefranches himself bytrime. In this contest, we must keep all these ap prehensions of foreign interference constantly before the people, if only to Impress them with the magnitude of the labor that is before them, to maintain the government which is their pride, and vindlote laws that have been their refuge and their shield. That we will succeed —that the government will eventually triumph —we have neither fear or doubt—but the bet ter to strengthen our arms and arouse onr en. ergies, the danger must be fairly stated, and the possible vicissitudes of the struggle kept before the people. Tan Bestsitirsma STATEMENT going the rounds of the press, in which it is stated that James BuCharitiri himself 'Waif cognisant of the fact that a conspiracy existed at the south while be was President, le not so very remarkable, when it is remembered that Mr. Buchanan was scarcely in the White House six months, when he began to quarrel with his old northern and western friends. The southern wing of the Democratic party took possession of the 0. P. F., and literally hemmed him In on all sides with their emissaries and spies. The avenues to the Executive mansion were watched for northern men t , and as soon as any man of prominence from the north was seen leaving Mr. Buchanan, the President was at once ap• proached by his southern councillors, who in formed the credulous old man that such and such a northern man boasted after having seen him, that he was able to "control the President —that be visited Washington to advise with and get him to do what was right." This was sufficient for the President. When .next any of these visitors called, the doors of the White House were sealed to them, while Mr. Bach anon took care to express his displeasure against them, to such persons as would readily carry the news back to his former friends, where it would have the immediate effeot of estranging them from the 0. P. F. Nor did he take any pains to ascertain the truth of that which Impressed him thus unfavorably with men who had formerly been his fast friends. The fact of the :natter is plain and - open to every man in the country. Mr. Buchanan gave himself to the very worst men of the South at the beginning of hie administration. He clung to them as long as they consented to cling to him; and when they had perpetrated ill the mischief they could— robbing treasu ries, seizing forts, corrupting troops and pi rating vessels of war—they repudiated the 0. P. P., leaving him to the reflection that he was not so badly deceived as he was ungrate fully treated. The fact Is, then, that while the people of the north are willing to allow this miserable old man the opportunity to repent for his deeds, it, is nothing remarkable for them to be appriwl of his complicity at this late day. 'fltat le as much a matter of history as is his forgetfulness of services and ids repeals lion of friendships. pennovlvania Mailp 41,aq/rapt), Oaturtutp Afternoon, Riau 25, 1861. There is not much doubt that the Govern ment will be compelled to issue another call for troops, and even if it should not be com pelled to do so, the policy of drilling a reserve force must strike every man as judicious and necessary. No man can tell the extent to which our military operations may extend. The campaigns misPbe brief—they may be long, laborious and devastating. In • elate, case, the drilling of a reserve force will repay the time consumed in acquiring a knowledge of tactics and evolutions. When another cell is issued, there will be no time to prepare. There can ba no days and weeks consumed in camp preparing for duty. The emergency then will require a prompt service by an immediate presence in the field. In Pennsylvania there are a hundred thousand men who can arrange their business in an hour to leave their homes for six months or a year. If these hundred thousand men are enrolled—if they form them selves into squads and companies, adopting the manual of the regular army as their drill-guide, in six months they could render themeelves proficient for almost. any active service. Sup pose that fifty thousand men were selected from this hundred thousand, and those fifty thousand had rendered themselves proficient by this drilling, iheTorce would indeed be in valuable and indomitable. In this way the new levy could be made almost immediately available, instead of being broken into the harness after having been called out. By the adoption of this course the war would be short ened ty monthsi while the moral influence of such a demonstration would tell pottntly upon the enemy. The difficulties in the way of the organiza tion of a reserve, force are not formidable. There Is an abundance of material out of which it may be manufactured. There are tens of thousands of brave men who are willing and anxious to do service. "Home Giiards" have been formed in many of our larger towns. Companies, and even regiments, which. failed to be accepted by the military authorities, will gladly await the next summons of the Govern ment. It only needs to have this crude mass of military material organized to make , it at once an effective and important arm of the Fed eras power. Bow AND NOLDED.—The government is de termined to assert its dignity, not only In its relations to the rebels, but to foreign powers. It is stated that the diplomatic corps have been notified that the purchases of European vessels by the secessionists will not be respected by the federal authorities ; brit that such vessels will be seized, - no matter'nnder what flag they sail. It to moreover intimated that the government has notified the representatives of foreign gov ernments that the xecognition of south. ern commissioners by European courts will be followed by immediate coalition of diplomatic intercourse between the United States and such governments. While it la doubtful whether any snob notice has been officially given, it ,ia ! unquestionably true that the government has intimated, to the "great powers" Its intention to permit no offen sive interference in the controversy between it and the rebellious states. While it door not ask the assistance of European governments, it will insist that they shall keep " hands off." No consideration of humanity—not:limey pleas about commerce—will be permitted to step in bete een treason and its punishment. The ad; ministration bas made up its mind to crush this conspiracy, and it must be permitted to do it in its own way. To CARRY Tama OWN Hen BAoll.—The rebel government has given notice that it will dis pense with the services of 131/010 Sem as mail carrier on the first of June. Having availed itself of such services without observing_ the tedious formalities of squaring up accounts with the department, it now serves a notice of dis charge upon its old employe, with the polite intimation that he is oft:totally incompetent and his character bad! The custom has generally prevailed, we believe, of paying hired labor be fore sending it adrift. It is reserved for the "confederate" patriots to invent a new method of discharging obligations, and a new way of dialysing of superfluous help. Here is the re ceipt: Beep him on low rations, refuse to pay him his wages, pick his pocket if you can get a chance, steal his wardrobe, give him a bad name among his neighboia, and finally turn him out of doors on the ground'that he is not respectable. This system cleverly managed and actively followed up, will be- found Mi. nently profitable. Inasmuch as the government has been run ning the mails in the south at a dead loss of over a million of dollars annually, it will pus sle the reader to know what our fire-eating neighbors are to gain by going into the letter carrying business on their own account! Davratrarrverlss or rim Mums Gusr..--A visit to the scene of the Saturday's collision between the United States troops and the citi zens on Walnut street, and an examination of the marks of the conflict will reveal the fact that Minnie balls possess all the destructive properties attributed to- them. The troops were armed with Minnie rifles loaded with the conical ball or slug, which gives that arm its peculiar character. The crowd were gathered chiefly on the north side of Walnut street and the houses on this side, from Fifth to Seventh, beer the marks:of the terrible shots from the riflemen. The slugs, In striking the walls, tore bricks for a space of three or four inches in diameter, and when they struck perpendicularly, pene trated to the depth of six inches into the solid wall. One shot, fired at an angle to the wall, tore away the corner of a brick next the door frame, struck the edge of the frame, penetra ting through it at least .asa inches, and went through the door Into the building, lodging in the opposite walls.

A RESERVE FVRCE. To the Public The events of the past few weeks constrain the undersigned, Ministers of the Gospel, resi dents at Marian:mg, to make the following ap peal to their fellow citizens : We bare beheld, with a loyal pride, the un paralleled patriotic enthusiasm of the people, which has been aroused by the sudden appre hension of national danger. In a time like the present, when the bustle of preparation is heard on every hand, and brothers and sans are hastening to the defence of the country, there may well be the most charitable judg- Merits passed upon the o 'nduct of all. But there is one of the great bulwarks of our free hastitutions which is, just now, in danger of being undermined and weakened. We have long been known among the nations of the old world, as a Sabbath-loving and a Sabbath keeping people. We would not exaggerate the influence of the Sabbath upon our country, but itia.plain,,we think, to the commonest observer, that among the agencies which have preserved us a free, pure, and enlightened people, Ecarcely any ranks higher than one American Sabbath. It is one of the moral foundations on whicix our country rests. If we would save the country, we must hold fast to the Sibbattr, for so far as we im pair the quiet and sanctity of this sacred day, we endanger the beet Interests of the nation. The emergencies Of a civil war like the one thrust upon us, must indeed modify our ob servance of this day. All- that 14 necessary to the public safety in the gathering of troops and the movements of armies, is innocent because of the temerity. But war does not repeal the law of the tiatibatb. This holy day is a divine institution, It possesses ti-day, and at- all' times, all the force of its original enactment. Beyotirl the limit of n.ee,..ity and of mercy, times of war should be as. Sabbath-keeping as times of peace. We are in danger of being influenced, by the new and stnauge events which now surround us, to a peinicious degree. We , are, irt good danger of losing the reverence we ought to en tertain for this holy day, and thus of weaken ing its power to bless our families, our woman aides and our nation. Whatever may be the rules observed in our armies, in the camp or ou the field of battle, (and we doubt' not the Sabbath has its rights in the army as everywhere else) it is plainly the duty of all civilians, at a time like this, of in creased temptation, to be on apecial guard against Sabbath profanation. Never is the quiet and holy eabbath with its opened sanctu. cry and solemn worship Of God, more needed than at a time when the deepest passions of a people are aroused. Tho tendencies of war are to demoralise, to encourage vice and lawlersta. ness. The most righteous of wars are not ex, empt from great - evils. , lutemperance Sab bath desecration, plias against the publileace and safety, and disobedience to law are hid plied. bocietv will need during the continu ance of our National struggle all the protection which a welt-kept Sabb.th cans:6lore. We appeal, then, as the Ministers of a Reli gion that demands a peaceful Sabbath, first to our highest authorities to lave us such a day, by avoiding all public reviews of our soldiery on this day, by discouraging all parades and such other public exhibitious ae are not neces sary for the public welfare, and, in every way preaentiog that worthy example of loyalty to Hod, that befits them as a "terror to evil doereand a prairie to them that do well." .We appeal to alt who are entrusted with the ad ministration and the enforcement of the laws, to relax no earns to secure a public regard fur the Sabbath., at this time, when lawlessness, VICO and crime should be restrained by the vigorous execution of the laws. We urge them to ilea to it that unr Sabbath laws are en laced by the closing of all places where intox icating drinks are sold on this r eared day, and by the puoiabment of all violatinns of the pnb lie peace. We appeal to all law-abiding and, good citizens to co•operate with oar authorities and with tISIO,II other to secure quiet and order ly Sabbaths. We appeal especially to those Christian citi zens who by;the vows of religion are pledged to maintain the sanctity and peace of this Day' the Lord, that they now allow the welfare of of their country, involved in this matter of Sabbath keeping, to induce them to pay a special and weather heed to the Sabbath, by strictly and religiously observing it in all their families and in this established ordinance of public worship. If we are faithful as a community and as a people in tar roger,' for this day, then whether the was be brief or protracted, we may hope for the Divine favor and for gracious Provieences toward us; but if at no call of necessity nor of mercy, we turn His holy days into holidays, de stroy their quiet and order, and weaken their &atilt:l;lV over the public mind, then the Bible and history jabn to assure us that we shall not escape unpunished. 8.
