Paanosim. —Sylvester G. Langdon, convicted
of forgery and sent to the Western Penitentia
ry, has been pardoned by Governor Curtin.
KEPNIR FENOIBLIO.—This company is now
fully organized, and only await acceptance by
the Governor to go into the service of their
country. Samuel Wilt is Captain, Cornelius M.
Shell first Lieutenant, and Wm. H. Weaver
second Lieutenant. A meeting of the company
will be held at Exchange Hall this evening.
I=
Tax CAMERON GUARDS are not at Washington,
as announced by telegraphic dispatches a few
days ago. As will be seen by a letter from a
member of the 'company, printed in another
column, they are now quartered in the Mary
land State Lunatic Hospital, four miles south
west of Baltimore. The Guards expect to
move in the direction of Harper's Ferry in a
a few days.
I=l
Woav KNOWING.—As "fly time" is nearly
upon us, we may remind our readers that it is
said that if three or four onions are boiled in a
pint of water, and the liquid is brushed over
glasses or frames, the flies will not light
on the articles washed. This may beused with
out the least apprehension, as it will not elo
the least injury to the frames.
ROBERTS Gomm& The members of this
home-guard corps are making rapid progress in
the science of military drill under the effective
instruction of their commander, Dr. E. W.
Roberts, one of the most accomplished military
men in community. The guards were out
on parade last evening, armed .with muskets,
and acquitted themselves quite creditably.
I==
Tnz STARS AND STRIPES.—The American flag
floats from almost every store, tavern and pub
lic place in Dauphin county, as well as from
many private residences, testifying the fidelity
and undying patriotism of our people :
Forever float that standard sheet:
Where breathes the foe but falls before um!
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And • &Wm's banner streaming o'er usl
GRAND COMMAIIDERI" OF KNIGHTS TM:FLA:RS,-
The eighth annual conclave of the Grand Corn
mandery of Knights Templar, will be held
this year in the city of Pittsburg, commencing on
the second Tuesday in June (the 11th,) The Com -
manderies will be fairly represented, arrange
ments being in contemplation by which to have
excursion tickets issued by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to those who are entitled to
seats in the Grand Commandery.
FEAST 808 TEE STATE CAPITAL GEARDS.—The
ladies of Harrisburg, while kindly remember
ing the soldiers in Camp Curtin, do not forget
our own gallant citizens now absent in the
service of their country. For twu or three
days past they have been L.:tively engaged in
preparing a bountiful supply of "good things"
for the State Capital Guards, which will be
forwarded to Chambersburg to-morrow morn
ing in charge of a special "commissariat" de
puted by the fair donors for that purpose.
I=l
llovirmsza or Tzoors.—The concentration of
large bodies of troops at Chambersburg has
commenced, and it is probable that Camp Slifer
will be reinforced by at least ten thousand in
fantry and cavalry during the present week.
Last night two regiments from Camp Scott
arrived at Bridgeport and passed over the Cum
berland Valley railroad en route for Chambers,
burg. One of these was the second regiment,
with which the State Capital Guards of this city
are connected. A number of camp wagons,
loaded with provisions, will leave this city for
the same point within a few days.
IMPORTANT TO TIACHUB.—It is officially an
nounced by the head of the School Department
that "County Superintendents are instructed to
grant no certificates after the first Monday in
June, 1861, without an examination into the
theory as well as the practice of teaching; and
to mark the proficiency in both, in the certifi
cate, according to the same scale (from one to
five) with the other branches." Proficiency in
the theory is to be tested by examination ; and
skill in the practice by observation in the school
room.
KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.-/ sad accident
occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Pen
ningtonville, the other day. An old man
named Rambo, a resident of the village, who
was somewhat deaf, was walking along a path
close to the railroad •track, when the fast
freight train approached. The engineer saw
the old man and whistled down brakes, which
he is supposed to have heard as he
. apparently
stepped off from the track ; but he did not get
aside far enough, and the locomotive struck
him as it came up, breaking his back and in
juring him so severely that he died in a few
minutes.
BOlfiLl TO DOM.—Why men who voluntarily
enter the service, should afterwards desert, we
cannot comprehend. Singular as it may ap
pear, desertions from the volunteer ranks have
been of frequent occurrence here and elsewhere.
We have just heard another instance of a sol
dier deserting from the Madison Guards of
Pottstown. When the company was about
leaving that place for Harrisburg, one of the
privates stepped out of the ranks at the depot,
under some pretence, and attempted to escape.
He was captured, however, and forced to enter
the care. He came here and remained with
the company at Camp Curtin, until one day he
obtained liberty for a short time, and when he
returned to the company he had a fine ham.
No one knew or cared where he got it, and all
his mess were overjoyed at the prospect of a
good "feed." At this interesting period the
fellow suggested an improvement by adding
dandelion salad to it, and he was accordingly
deputed to gather it. He went, but he is still
on the hunt of it, and his comrades expect by
the time he returns he will have quite a mesa.
BE
MANLY.—Sending anonymous letters to sus
pected individuals, threatening them with ill
treatment, and ordering them to leave their
homes, is a very small business ; and no person
with a spark of manhood in him will resort to
such a measure to annoy or frighten others.—
It is a southern secession practice, and no hon
orable man will engage in it.
THE Ifnaarsatrao RIFLES have received their
caps, and will be furnished with muskets from
the quota appropriated to the home guard
force. The company will meet to night armed
and equipped for parade and drill. It is design
ed to make the Rifles a permanent organiza
tion, and should the services of these young
men be required in the future we doubt not
they will be promptly tendered.
RECRUITS. —A company of recruits from Tioga
county, numbering about seventy able-bodied
men, arrived here this afternoon and proceed
ed to Camp Curtin. They come here for the pur
pose of filling up companies which lack the re
quisite number of men under the recent order
of the War Department, which requires each
infantry company to consist of one hundred,
including officers and musicians.
THE CITY TOMBS contained four occupants
last night, all of them victims of tanglefoot,
who looked as ifithey had been attending an
Irish wake. Au •ot them were more or less dam
aged personally, and presented quite a dilapi
dated appearance. Having no money to pay
their fines, and the Mayor not feeling a dispo
sition to tax the county for their maintenance
in prison, they were reprimanded and dis
charged.
-...__-.
PATRIOTISM AMONG CSILDREN.—The military
spirit which pervades all ranks has not, by
any means, spared the juveniles in its visita
tions. Miniature companies of boys parading
the streets to the music of fife and drum are to
be met with daily ; but we were not aware un
til recently that Mars had invaded the pre
cincts of Venus and that even the girls were in
fected with the mania for drill. Such, how
ever, appears to be the case, for last evening
we saw quite a formidable array of adolescent
females armed with broomsticks and marching
according to the Zouave tactics. The exhibi
tion was a creditable one to the children, and
was enjoyed by all who witnessed it. None
but the brave deserve the fair.
INDEPENDENCE DAY has for a life-time been
our great national festival ; but this year it will
have a solemnity of emphasis, and will be cele
brated with a fervor of patriotic enthusiasm,
such as has never yet been known. We hear
tily second the suggestion made by a cotempo
rary, that in every city and county where trea
son does not forbid and forcibly prevent it,
whether in the north or south, the entire pop
ulation who are resolved to stand by the Union
and live and die under the stars and stripes,
shall be gathered together for such a celebra
tion as our fathers loved. Let the preparations
be fitly and seasonably made, and the Fourth
of July, 1861, will be remembered with patri
otic affection and pride for the next half century.
THN GENEROUS HOSPITALITY wth which many
of our citizens entertain soldiers from Camp
Curtin who visit the city, is highly commenda
ble. We could mention the names of a num
ber who have repeatedly invited volunteers to
their private tables and cheerfully shared with
these brave defenders of the Union the boun
ties with which a kind Providence has so rich
ly blessed them. We had occasion to visit the
house of a friend last evening, and found three
"Buck Tail" volunteers seated at his hospita
ble and well-filled board, partaking of a luxu
rious repast which the most fastidious epicure
would have relished. They properly appre
ciated this little act of kindness, and went away
invoking blessings upon their generous enter
tainer. Instances of this kind are , )f daily oc
currence, and speak well for the patriotism and
hospitality of the people of our city.
WANT ABMS.-A messenger from Hagerstown
arrived here yesterday for the purpose of pro
curing a supply 'of arms for the Union men of
that vicinity. He reports that the secession
ists are concentrating in considerable numbers
between there and Williamsport, and the loyal
citizens in that region are entirely defenceless,
having no weapons of warfare. His statement
confirms the rumor of a contemplated invasion
of Cumberland valley by the rebel troops. We
presume measures will be taken to comply
with the request of the loyal people of Hagers
town and provide them arms for the protec
tion of their lives and property. That town is
the centre of one of the strongest Union coun
ties in Maryland, and its citizens can be de
pended upon in any emergency. We trust
their appeal to our State authorities will be
promptly responded to.
A DAUPHIN COMITY SOLDIER SHOT.-011 Satur
day night last a man named Robert Sleeper,
belonging to the Washington Rifles, of Mount
Joy, said to be from Dauphin county, was shot
dead by a young man named Andrew Brubaker,
ou the farm of John Denlinger, three miles this
side of Lancaster, near the Harrisburg turnpike.
The Lancaster .Express furnishes the following
particulars of the affair :
It appears that the barn of Mr. Denlinger had
been threatened with destruction by fire, and
he had in consequence placed a guard around
it, composed of the sons of farmers in the
neighborhood. On Saturday night about twelve
o'clock, three men came to the road in front of
the barn, got over the fence, and came up to
the pig pen, directly above which Mr. Brubaker
and three companions were stationed. Sleeper
got into the pen, and took possession of a tur
key, with which he was making off, when Bru
baker called on him to stop, upon which he
dropped the turkey but kept on. The warning
was repeated three times in English, and twice
in German, without effect, upon which Bruba
ker fired, but not with the intention of killing
him. It happened, however, that he by some
means slipped or changed his position, and the
load took effect in his left side, Instead of his
lower limbs, killing him instantly. Brubaker
Came into the city shortly after and gave him
self up to the authorities. The deceased is
said to be from Dauphin county, but we have
no reliable knowledge of his previous residence
or character.
Mr. Brubaker had a hearing before Judges
Long and Brinton, this afternoon at half past
one o'clock. ion. Thos. E. Franklin appeared
for the Commonwealth, and Edward Reilly,
Esq., for the defendant. The Court, after
hearing the testimony, held him to bail in:the
sum of $lO,OOO.

CAUTION TO SOLDIER LETTER-WRICERS. -- The
following extract from a letter written by an
officer commanding a corps of Massachusetts
militia is worthy of the special attention of all
volunteer forces :
It is strictly forbidden by the army regula
tions, and is a cause of punishment by court
martials, for any officer or private to write or
publish, in any way, any article praising or
blaming, or discussing the conduct ef any of
ficer or man."
NARROW ESOAPE.—One of the Pennsylvania
troops, in the encampment at Cockeysville,
made a narrow escape from death yesterday
morning. It appears that some of his com
rades were firing at a mark, when the party in
question passed beyond the target just as a
musket was discharged. The ball passed
through his cap and badly tore his scalp, but
did not effect the skull. The injured man was
taken to his tent, where ho received surgical
attntion.
Tun Nsw COMET.—The comet just discovered
by Mr. Thatcher, is saki to be now plainly visi
ble to the naked eye. Star-gazers will find it
in the quadrangle of the "Dipper" in the Great
Bear—a hazy star, nearest the brightest of the
four. It already shows a tail three degrees,
long iu the telescope. It moves rapidly from
the north-east, and in a few days will be con
spicuous as a flaming sword from the north ad
vancing into the south-western skies.
ATTEMPT TO FIBS THE CAPITOL BIIILDING.-OH
Sunday last thelwatchman at thepapitol, while
going his customery rounds in the basement of
the building, discovered in a pile of dry wood
a tightly wrapped bundle of paper, partially
consumed and still burning. The combustible
material was no doubt placed there by some
black-hearted traitor in our midst, with a view
of burning the Capitol with all its valuable con
tents ; and his fiendish purpose would have
been accomplished, but for the timely discovery
of Mr. Luker, the watchman. In these perilous
times all the entrances to the Capitoi should be
closely guarded day and night, and no strangers
or suspicious person permitted to enter the
building.
GARDENB ioa HEALTH - . -On every side we
hear it said that American merchants, lawyers
and mechanics are annually growing feebler,
and becoming shorter lived, and all for lack of
cheerful exercise in the open air. This fact be,
coming widely known, has led to the establish
ment of gymnasiums, boat clubs, ball-clubs, etc.
all over the country. For persons who can
not get muscular exercise in any other way,
this is all very well. But he who can get con
trol of ground enough for a garden, will be
much better off, and especially if he owns the
garden. This pleasing occupation is far more
healthful than wrenching gymnastics practiced
by the clerk, or the highly exciting and over
taxing exertions of boat-racing, and ball-play
ing. Morning and evening spent at home—
pruning andhoeing and weeding and training—
so employed, how can one help being happy
and healthy ? It would be an evil day for a
man so situated, to hire a gardener to do all
his work. What harm is there in a little sweat,
a little dirt, and a few blisters, if thereby one
keeps dyspepsia, and ill health generally, at a
distance ?
STARTLING NEWS. —Draw forth your red ban
danna, and have it ready shaken. It was
said on Saturday last that Cumberland Valley
was by the Secessionists taken. It was current
ly reported on Saturday that much fear existed
in the minds of those living in Pennsylvania,
between Chambersburg and the Maryland line,
that it was the intention of a large force of se
cession troops, in connection with three hund
red blood thirsty Indians, to invade Cumberland
Valley and murder its citizens. We are pleased
to state, to-day, that the report is supposed to
have originated from the large number of far
mers coming to Harrisburg with their market
ing, and to purchase their dry goods at the
cheap store corner Front and Market streets.

WASHINGTON, May 28.
Oa inquiry of several New York guests at
Willard's hotel, it is ascertained that Van Val
kenburgh parted with them at noon on a visit
to Alexandria ; therefore, the distant report of
his arrest as a spy cannot be true.
The belief that the President has determined
to tender Col. Fremont a Major Generalship
elicits much gratification.
Gov. Banks is here by invitation of the Sec
retary of War.
The Washington City Councils have passed
resolutions of respect to Ellsworth.
The rebels are evidently preparing for action.
Reports recieved here this morning state that
they are throwing up entrenchments at the
Manassas Gap Junction ; and the secessionists
in Alexandria are loudly boasting to-day that
they will soon be relieved by the advauca of rebel
troops from Richmond. The government,
however, is prepared at all points to check any
forward movements of the the enemy.
From Alexandria all along to the George
town aqueduct breastworks have been thrown
up in twenty-four hours—every soldier, even
in the ranks of the New York Seventh, work
ing constantly and effectually.
The President has accepted three regiments
from Kansas, including one of cavalry from the
Leavenworth arsenal. A large detachment of
the former, (and the main body, if necessary,)
will be deployed along the Hannibal and St.
Joseph railway, to protect passengers and
freight from capture or injury. There has been
no little apprehension of trouble from seces
sionists, but this will guaranty protection to
persons and property.
There are about ten thousand troops' from
Washington in Virginia this morning. Col.
Lyon's New York regiment marched from
their encampment at " Kalorama" to take up
their position on the entrenched line on Ar
lington Heights and vicinity. Col. Johnson's
New Jersey regiment, and Col. McCook's Ohio
regiment, marched from the city to the same
vicinity, where they will continue to strength
en the entrenchments on one of the most im
portant positions over-looking Washington,
and from which, if in the possession of the en
emy, the city could be shelled and fired with
out difficulty.

CASE OF MERRIMAN THE BRIDGE
BURNER.
Attempt to Arrest Gen. Cadwalla
der for Contempt,
The F. S. Marshal Refused Admission to
Fort McHenry.
Statement of Chief Justice Taney.
St. Paul's street, fronting the United States
Court House, was crowded to-day, as was also
the Court room at noon to-day, to learn the
proceedings in the habeas corpus case of John
Merriman. Gen. Cadwallader having, as was
stated yesterday, declined to accede to the de
mand until he could hear from Washington, a
writ of attachment was issued against him for
contempt. Today the United States Marshal
reported that on going to Fort !Cleary to
serve the writ he was refused admittance. Chief
Justice Taney then
_read the following state
ment :
"I ordered the attachment yesterday because,
upon the face of the return, the detention of
the prisoner was unlawful upon two grounds :
"let. The President, under the constitution
and laws of the United States, cannot suspend
the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, nor
authorize any military officer to do so.
"2d. A military officer has no right to arrest
and detaain a person not subject to the rules
and articles of war, for an offence against the
laws of the United States, except in aid of the
judicial authority and subject to its control. If
the party is arrested by the military, it is the
duty of the officer to deliver him over imme
diately to the civil authority to be dealt with
according to law.
"I forbore yesterday to state orally the pro
visions of the Constitution of the United
States, which make these principles the funda
mental law of the Union, because one oral
statement might be misunderstood, in some
portionis of it, and -I shall therefore put my
opinion in writing and file it in the office of
the clerk of the Circuit Court in the course of
the week."
The Judge added that the military authority
was always subordinate to the civil ; that under
ordinary circumstances it would be the duty of
the Marshal to proceed with a posse comitatus
and bring the party named in the writ into
court ; but from the notoriously superior force
that he would encounter, this would be impos
sible. He said the Marshal had done all in bis
power to discharge his duty during the week.
He should prepare his opinion in the premises,
and forward it to the President, calling upon
him to perform his constitutional duty, and
see that the laws be faithfully executed, and
enforce the decrees of this court.

A TRAITOR PUNISHED
John Abbott, a Second Lieutenant of Com
pany A, twelfth Regiment, has been convicted
of using seditious language against the Gov
ernment, and being divested of his uniform
has been drummed out.
On the arrival of the train to-day, which
conveyed the remains of Ellsworth to his home,
minute guns were fired, and the entire popula
tion of the surrounding country assembled to
evince their deep and universal sorrow.
The procession was then formed, embracing
a number of military and fire companies.—
Along the route many buildings were shrouded
in black, and all the flags were at half-mast.—
The roads were crowded with spectators.
After the customary funeral services at the
grave, in which several clergymen assisted, the
face of the lamented deceased was uncovered,
and the people passed in procession to obtain a
last parting glance. The body was then low
ered into the grave, the men of the company
formerly drilled by him, the Chicago Zouaves,
firing a volley over it ; then grounding their
arms, they took shovels and filled in the grave.
Three volleys were subsequently fired, and the
multitude of mourners sorrowfully dispersed.
The United States forces from the Indian
country west of Kansas, comprising six com
panies of cavalry and five of infantry, under
command of Lieut. Col. Emery, are within a
few days' march of this oity, with all means
of transportation and plenty of subsistence.
On the Texan frontier they made a rapid retro
grade march, and captured twenty-five Texan"
who had been dogging the troops for some
time. They were held prisoners one day and
discharged.
The regiment of Kansas volunteers for three
years are being mustered. It is not known by
the State military authorities whether any
three months volunteers will be accepted by
