Atzorusa Demme Putosgsn.—hi,. man named
James Gill •apie, of Wyoming county, recently
deserted from Camp Curtin and returned
house. On his arrival at Tunkhannock he was
handed over to the "Rangers," and subjected
to every possible indignity in his disgraceful
p trade through the streets to the tune of the
"rvugu's march." The people would have
th,eu Imaltiable in decorating the fellow with
a oust of tar and feathers and driving him out
of the town he had disgraced.
CAPTAIN Riot sTs.—Oue of the Quest looking
soldiers and most accomplished others In Camp
Curtin is Capt, Rickets, of the Iron Guard, a
graduate of the West Point military school
The Captain is a physician by profession, and
left a lucrative practice to engage in the servloe
of his couutry. When we say that he is the
best chill officer iu camp, we speak the senti
ments of the soldiers generally. He is deserv
ing of higher honors, and we hope soon to
hear of his promotion.
Tie Sommer Poses contain some intelli
gence which, if not quite so transparent, might
b. of importance. Fro .a one section we learn
that "the rat 411 pox is thinning out the troops
la Furt Mclitnry at a fearful rate." From
another, that "the cholera has entered the gar-
Ilion at Fortress Monroe and it doing its
work." And from the third, that "the yellow
fever In Fort Pickens is slowly but surely put
ting into the haude of General Bragg an easy
victory." From this it would appear that the
Confederates have perfect Commend over all
the peattleutial Mimeses, and can throw them
wherever they feel Inclined.

man's "land of the free" in Canada. They
were detained at this station a short time to
obtain 'applies of provisions and " material aid,"
which were liberally furnished them by some
sympathisingbrethern, and then resumed their
journey by moonlight. The slave owners o►

Juentsisrx DEMONSTRATIOI Its Cam.P.-LWhen
the news of the occupation of Alexandria, and
the capture of rebel cavalry, by the Federal
troops, was announced in Camp Curtin yes
terday afternoon, the various companies were
drawn up in line, and celebrated this victory
over the secessionists by giving three enthusi
astic cheers and a "tiger." Hostilities having
commenced on the pert of the Government,
the soldiers here are cheered with the hope of
soon befog called Into active service. They
are anxious to meet the Southern rebels on
their own soil, and give them a specimen of
Pennsylvania "chivalry." The probability is
that tome of the regiments will receive march

BAD THEATIMIT or SOLDIERS. --Yesterday
morning Capt Cimpbell's company of Light
artillery arrived here from York, which place
they lett at seven o'clock on the evening pre
vious. This morning some members of the
company celled upon us and complained that
during the twenty-four hours they had been
in Camp Cuttin, no rations were furnished
them, and they remained without food the
whole of that time, after having undergone a
night march of twenty five miles. Several of
the men came to the city this morning and
were entertained free of expense by private cit
izens. The men who thus neglect and starve
the brave defenders of the Union, are entirely
out of their sphere in the official positions they
occupy, and disgrace the uniforms they wear.
Molts SOLDIERS goes Hoste.—The National
Guards, of Tioga county, who have been in
Camp Curtis for three weeks past, daily ex
pecting to be accepted by the Governor and
mustered into service, yesterday disbanded,
and most of the members of the company re
turned home, disappointed and indignant.
These sturdy and gallant sons of the north
were anxious to enlist under the stars and
stripes In defence of their country, and willing
to serve during the war; and after being indu
ced, by promises of acceptance under the three
year's requisition, to remain here on expense
for weeks, at last had the mortification of
being rejected. We print, in another column,
a card from those of the Guards who have re
turned home, explanatory of their action, and
of their treatment by the Commander lu.chief.
which speaks for itself, and places them in a
groper position before the public.
HARRISBURG Ring& —Tl),:s company, compos.
ed of young and able-bodird men of our city,
between eighteen and twenty-one yearn of age,
intended for home guard service, was perma

of the following officers :
Captain—D. B. Randolph Reim.
First Lieutenant-0441n be Witt.
Second Lieutenant—Guidon S. Berry.
First Sergeaot—Hamilton Alricks, Jr.
Second Sergeant—James Reawahart.
Third Sergeant—George A. Gross.
Fourth Sergeant—Warren J. Zollinger.

Second Corporal—Theodore G. Thomas.
Third Corporal—Geo. Washington Fenn.

The Rifles have adopted a very neat style of
equipments, and expect to receive them in the
course of a week or two. They meet for drill
every evening, and are rapidly perfecting them
selves in a knowled4re of military tactics.
Tae TIMMS OF EslarltesT.—Of the four com
panies organised in this city and mustered into
the service of the United States, it is not prob.
able that any of them will remain longer than
the which they enliated—three menthe. -
We think, with a cotemporary, that it may be
considered& mistake on the part oaf the.govern
merit that the first term of enrollment was not
fixed at a longer period than throe - Months,
and the second eta shorter period thin three
years. Au intermediate point between the two
would have served the interests of the country
bettter. The number of volunteers that could
have been obtained for nine months or a year
would have almost equaled the number en
rolled for three months. Then the govern
ment could have gradually enrolled volunteers
for longer terms, to provide' for a protracted
duration of the war, while the first enlistment
would be in the field fur a sufflaient length of
time to do efficient service. The time of the
three months men will expire probably before
the real fighting has commenced, and at a time
when their drill and experience would be most
serviceable. It is to be hoped that the gov
ernment, Immediately after the expiration of
the three months, will give the volunteers
called out under the first requisition a chance
to re-enlist for another short term, three or six
months, to be followed by another enlistment
for a similar period for those who may wish to
continue in service, and in this way the well
drilled volunteers, who would be loth to bind
themselves for along period, could be retained
while a sufficient number for the duration of
the war are being mustered into the service.—
We have no doubt, however, that many of the
first requisition will continue for any length of
time the country may require.
A CARD.
The undersigned members of t he Potter
Couoty Bides have been appointed by their com
rades a oommittee to correct the mistatements
of a oard which appeared in your paper of yes
rday.
It' is true that we had a weary march and
suffered many hardships both on the seventy
live mites walkover the mountains spoken of,
and coming down the river on the rafts , but it
1 is nut true that at any time since our arrival
in camp ninety-six, men have subsisted on the
ratious of seventy-seven. It is also untrue that
"not a single at title of clothing has been fur
uished to any member of the cAnpany." On
the contrary every man while here, who desir
e I it, was furnished a change of a new and
superior flannel shirt, kindly presented by our
gallant commander, Col. Kane.
In addition to the gal meets in haversacks,
previously supplied by the' patriotic ladies at
home, one of tuese shirts was seen to be carried
on the back of each man who returned.
such was furnished a blanket on his arrival
in camp. &meaty gray ft tnnel shirts have also
been distributed by the State. An abundant
supply of provisions het been received daily,
anti it has been invariably of the best quality.
We do nutdeuy that we have bad to submit
to some hardships, but in this hour of our
country's need we do not think it to be the
port of patriotism to swell the burden of com
plaint unjustly. We can oppreclate the diffi
culties which impede the action of the Slate
authorities, and we express our opinion that
they have dune the best in their power under
the cifctimstances to make us ovnifortable in
camp.

WASHINGTON, May 26.
The remains of Col. Ellsworth were this
morainic conveyed to the east room of the
White House, where they lay in state for sev
eral hours. The coffin was draped with the
American flag, and adorned with choice flow
ers. The face was exposed to public view.
Many persons, principally military, visited the
room. The body of Col. Ellsworth was open
ed and embalmed by Dr. Haulm, the inventor
of the patent embalming process.
It cannot be ascertained that anything of
moment transpired at Alexandria last night.—
There is no doubt however that the Govern
ment has sent out advanced parties to take
such measures regarding the railroads, bridges,
etc., so as to impede the advance of the con
federate troops.
Western Virginia is an exception to the or
der of the Post Master General for the stoppage
of the mails in the seceded B:ates. Every la.
cility will be afforded for postal accommoda
tions in that section.
There is a great deal of coal on the way from
Cumberland, Marylaud, to Tide Water. The
principal or only difficulty in the way of the
passage to Tide water is the refusal of the re
bel troops at Harper's Ferry to allow boats to
puke that point. From present indications this
obstruction will probably not continue.
Capt. Fox has lust made an official repcirt of
the drcumstancee atiending the killing of Col.
Ellsworth to the President.
It appears that Ellsworth was marching up
the street with a squad of men to take potimv
stun of the telegraph office, when, in passiug
along, he noticed a secession nig 11, log from the
top of a building. He immediately exclaimed,
"That has to cotue do n," and entering the
building, made his way up to the roof with
one of his men, hauled down the rebel em
blem, and, wrapping it around his body,
descended. White on the second flour a
secessionist came out of a door with a cocked
double barrelled shot attn. Be took sin: at
E lsworth, when the latter attempted to strike
the gun out of the way with his fist. As he
struck It one of the barrels was discharged,
lodgings whole load of buckshot in Ellswortrea
body, killing him instantly. His companion
instantly shot the ml rderer through the head
with a revolver, making him a corpse a second
or two atter the fall of she noble Ellsworth.
The house was immediately sorrounded and all
the inmates made prisoners.
It is stated that when he received the fatal
shot, he dropped his sword, and seising hold
of hid clothing over his breast, tore it entirely
off, and looking down upon the wuund, closed
hid eyes and fall down dead without uttering a
word.
Before hauling down the secession flag him
self, he politely but vainly requested his mur
derer to rem we the odious emulem.
The Zoutives were so enraged at the assassina
tion of their colonel that the other regbitents
were compelled to surround them and puithem
on the Powhatan in order to keep them from
burning the city. The greatest. consternation
imaginable exists among the regiment.
The government has succeeded in securing
all the products of all the arms manufactories
and cannon foundries in Great Britain, which
are permitted to make arms for foreign States,
for three months to some. This decisive move
ment will at once strengthen the government,
in it* efforts to put dot& rebellion, and will
also serve the farther purpose of convincing
the British government that there is to be no
halt-way work in the pending war.
A portion of the New Jersey brigade, while
distant some three miles from Alexandria, this
forenoon, were fired upon from an ambush, but
the tire warreturned with such effect that the
assailants quickly dispersed.
there have been further captures of British
vessels homeward bound, with valuable car
goes, that ware attempting to run the block
ade. What disposition will be made of them
is not known, bait is thought they will be
condemned. The Government ls fully deter
mined that the blockade it has instituted shall
be respected, no matter what the flag tha t
floats from the masthead.
President Lincoln decided, at the instance of
Messrs. J. K. Moorhead, Edgar Cowan, Wm.
F. Johnston, and other prominent and influen
tial riding's of Pennsylvania, to accept all the
volunteer regiments now raised in the State.
The whole number offering Is estimated at
forty.
The United States government, or the State
of Pennsylvania, will have speedily to reinforce
our troops now here. Nu more of the prevent
style of uniform will be received by the gov
ernment.

REPORT OF HOsTILMEs AT HARPER'S
FERRY CONfRADIC EEC.
BALT/MORR, Kay 26.
The Western train has arrived in, and from
the passengers we learn that the reports of
hostilities at Harper's Furry are totally un
founded. A number of coal trains were de
t4ined, with the hands belonging to them, but
the Vilinia authorities gave as the reason for
detaining the trains that it was understood
the coal was for the use of the Government.—
Assurances have been sent to them by the rail
road authorities that such was nut the fact, and
it is supposed the trains will soon be permitted
to run as usual. There were various reports in
circulation of the approach of Federal frogs
to Harper's Ferry, but nothing authentic had
been learned.
A detachment of Colonel Corcoran's regi
ment, stationed on the Eoutheru slope of the
Heights, seized a train of cars this afternooti,
containing soiso three hundred passengers, a
portion of whom are retained as prisoners.- It
is difficult to learn the particulars of the seiz
ure of the train and the disposition of the pas
sengers and prisoners, inaemuch as the mili

ises to cross over to Virginia. 'lbis rule is ap

hit. EDITOR : —As it may seem somewhat
singular (to those who love their country) that
so many who sissified, in coming to this wimp,
that they wished to servo their Government
are returning home, as one of the representa
tives of these I wish to make an exposition of
the reasons which have led us to take this step.
Living as we do in the extreme northern coun
ties of old Pennsylvania, is no excuse fur our
bring backward In offering our services to our
much loved Union. On the contrary, we feel
an honest pride in saying that Tioga county has
sent as many men as the Commonwealth of
Penntlivania could ask. We (the National
Guards) came here on the first r, quisition, ar
riving the day the same was filled; Welfare,
we were rejected. Some of our buys, thinking
they bad an honorable discharge, ( a we thiuk
they had,) returned home; while the remain
der of the corn paoy entered into a new compact,
by request of the Governor, toserveithellui•ed
Stated fur three years. or during the war. But
sve were again doomed to disappointment I Other
bodies of troops came into camp, were put un
der drill, turned and sent on their way; we be
gan to be impatient at this delay, but could
get but the one answer,—"wait." We did
wait fur three long weeks, and then the an•
ewer was, "we don't want you ; but if you
wish to go we will take you into the State
service for three years." We did wish to go,
and took courage, thinking now we were sure ;
but behold, another mine is exploded under
our feet. The Governor then said, "we wont
take but three companies from Twigs county,
and we will tell you as soon as passible which
they will be." We said all-right—do as you
choose. They did so, and took three of the
smallest ones. This made us open our eyes and
ask, why is this f We have sixty good men,
and the companies accepted could raise but
about thirty-four men each, and one only twen
ty-sight; why this is so we cannot say, but we
know that the National Guards have been mis
represented. Still some of our backwoodsmen
linger in Camp Curtin, hoping to find a chance
to serve their country. Those wishing to find
the remnant of our company can do so by vis
iting the quarters of the Cookman Bangers,
Capt. Fisher, and the Buck Tails, Capt. Blanch
ard. Hoping yet to have a crack at the foes
of our country, we remain, Ens Bales.
