PASSAGE OF TROOPS
.
Yesterday afternoon a special train arrived
here from Philadelphia, containing Major Gen
eral Patterson and Staff, and the Incependent
Rangers, Capt. McMullin. The train stopped
here about half an hour, to afford Gen. Patter
son an opportunity of visiting Governor Clutha
officially. He was clad in plain citizen's dress,
while the members of his staff, sported full
uniforms.
The Rangers, about one hundred strong, were
very neatly and substantially equipped, armed
with patent Minnie muskets, and presented n
fine appearance. The Rangers are the befit
equipped volunteers we have seen since the
commencement of the war. They are , all
"fighting boys,h and will make their mark in
the present campaign. Their appearance was
greatly admired by the large crowd of people
at the depot, and the kindest attention was
shown them during their brief stay here. At
!three o'clock the train left for Chambersburg;
The large number of troops concentrated
, at
that point, and th J visit of Major General Pat,-
terson there at this time, is indicative of a
spee'dy and important movement. We think
it is entirely safe to predict an invasion of Virr
ginia from that point within a day or, two.
There are now at Chambersburg nearly twenty
thousand troops, comprising artillery, infantry
and cavalyy ; and several additional regimenti
are expected to reach there , to-day.
The First Pennsylvania Regiment, quartered
near Baltimore for the last week, arrived at
Bridgeport about twelve o'clock last night, and
passed over the Cumberland Valley railroad en
route for Chambersburg. The Cameron Guards
belong to this regiment.
MORE HORSES AND CANT WAGONS
Within a few days the stock of horses and
camp wagons in the government depot at this
place has been largely increased. The pvhole
number of wagons now here is about one hunl
dred and forty, and of horses some two or three
hundred. A portion of these will be shipped
to Chambersburg immediately, and the balance
to other points east and west. Great care and
good judgment seem to have been exercised t 9
the selection of the horses. It will be difficult;
to Anti a cvlict*lmu or -2...0r looking, Or MOil
substantial animals anywhere. We say this in
justice to the contractors who furnished thern
for the government, one or two of whom are
residents of our city.
PARSON BROWNLOW'S DAUGHTER.-A gentle-i
man just arrived in Chicago from Knoxville,'
Tenn., brings intelligence of affairs in that
city. He says that 2,500 Secession troops are
stationed there, for the express purpose of
over-awing the Union men. It is a part of
their business to engage in quarrels in saloons,
And in street fights, with all who are not friend
ly to Secession. Two men were last week shot'
for no other offence than speaking' words of
loyalty to the Federal Government. The house
of the celebrated, bold-hearted, and out-spoken
Parson Brownlow, is the only one in Knoxville
over which the Stars and Stripes are floating.
A few days ago, two armed Secessionists went,
at six o'clock in the morning, to haul down the
Stars and Stripes. Miss Brownlow, a brilliant
young lady of twenty-three, saw them. on the
piazza, and stepped out and demanded their
business. They replied that they had come to
" take down them d—n Stars and Stripes."
She instantly drew a revolver from her side,
and presenting it, said : "Goon ! I'm good
forone of you, and I think for both !"
" By the looks of that girl's eye she'll shoot,"
one remarked. " "think we'd better not try
it ; we'll go back and get more men," said the
other. "Go and get more men," said the no
ble lady ; "get more men and come and take
it.down, if you dare." They returned with'
company of ninety armed men, and demanded
that the flag should be hauled down; but on
discovering that the house was filled'with
lent men, armed to the teeth, who would rathl
er die as dearly as possible than see their courki
try's flag dishonored' the Secessionists re
tired. •
THE NAME Or &muss:a smells rank' in the
nostrils of the nation. The Wheatland traitor
is now so broken down as to be trembling,
chattering puling imbecile, the frowns of
Heaven already descending on him as a super
fluous laggard on the same stage with virtuous
men. Be talks about the villainy' of• those
wretches, as he calls them,- who fired on the
American flag ! Villains whom he - took to his
bosom ' knowing them to be such, and consent
ing to be their pliant tool. But he has given
$lOO to aid the Lancaster Volunteers to go
forth and fight these old villain friends of his.
Think of it ; spend four years in aiding to de
stroy the Government and then give one hun
dred dollars to aid in saving it I This misera
ble man who now starts at a cloud and shivers
at a breeze, has not sold his farm and gone to
Canada. A purse could readily be raised to
buy him out, and purge the soil of Pennsylva
nia of his presence. His gray hairs protect him,
from banishment. What a spectacle of national
loathing is presented by the closing years of
this man's lite. He will die unwept, unhon
oredsard unsung. .

SECESSION IN THE ." PANHANDLE."—The. vote
of the four counties :which make up the "Pan
handle," against the ordinance of secession,
amounts:to the incredible sum of 'six thousand
eight hundred and twenty-eight.:Take from,
this vote the pitiful batch of secession ballots
that were cast, amounting to four hundred and
thirty-one, and we have a clean majority of
six thousand three hundred and ninety-seven.
The conspirators have been smote hip and thigh
in the " Panhandle.", Never was a vote so
unanimous and sweeping.

From messengers direct this morning at ten

The engagement commenced on Friday, as
heretofore Stated, and lasted two hours. Yes

that length of time. The lower or beach bat
,tery which ha 4 bean so essentiallidamaged the
day previous, had meantime been repaired by
the Confederates in force, it is supposed 2,000
strong.
The Freeborn, yesterday approaching about
two - miles from the shore; early the after
noon, fired four or five shots,'When the 'Pawnee
entered into the Conflict, — taking a position
nearer to the land for the first two hours."
- The fire from the shore batteries was very
brisk, but was returned With More expedition
by the Pawnee., During the engagement she
fired one 'hundred and sixty shells, one of
which was '5 2 .4-in to explode immediately over
the heaths of the Confederates Who were work-
Mg the battery: The observer through the tel
escope saw a number of the bodies of tnem
carried away in wagons. During
,that time

The rreebani Ipdged the shells insucces=

fliminishing the fire." The Freeborn received
which two shots, one of 'passed through the
cabin, damaging sortie crockery, but not 'tile

brilwarks, of slight consequence.
The Pawnee received eight or nine 'shoti,
but all too , nigh to„indipt_mucti_damage. One

The turn of Mobile to feel her first blast of
the condign vengeance of Lincoln hasmone . at
last, for the blockade of our harbor was inangu
rate,d about eleven o'clock on yesterday morn
ing, when a large war steamer appeared, and
took her position to command the ship chan
nel entrance of the bay—coming-to about seven
miles, more or less, off Fort Morgan.
We are apprised of this fact by gentlemen
who came up from Fort Morgan yesterday. The
war vessel was seen to bring to a small craft in
the offing, before the "Carondelet" left Fort
ktoigitn with our informants.
The Fort welcomed the bhickading steamer
by displaying the United States flag—bo

was displayed union down, and floated frgm th e
staff but below the "stars and bars" of the cm
federacy. Joke on Lincoln
We are informed that the vessel alluded to
is the Powhattan.
