certain number, and then dividing these ac
cording to qualification for Surgeons and As
sistant Surgeons,they are notified personally
by letter from the Surgeon General's De
partment, to hold themselves in readiness
for a call, and as they are required, they
are commissioned by the Governor. The rule
has also been adopted, as far as practicable, to
appoint Surgeons and assistants from the lo
cality where the companies were enlisted, so as
to give the volunteers the benefit of physicians
acquainted with them personally.
Attorney General
William M. Meredith, the newly appointed
Attorney General, entered upon the duties of
his office in this city on Friday last, and is now
actively engaged in their official discharge. B.
F. Etter, the able and accomplished assistant
of the former, retains his position under the
present Attorney General.
Micheal Wegand, Prothonotory of Beaver
county, vice M. S. Quay, resigned. Mr. Quay's
resignation was induced to join the army—
giving up thus a lucrative and easy position
for this opportunity to serve his country. He
is a practical printer, which accounts for his
patriotism.
THE THREE MONTHS' VOLUNTEERS.
Captain Simmons, of the U. S. A., left
Harrisburg to-day for the camps at and near
Chatiabersburg. He goes to test the temper of
the troops for the three years' enlistment, and
will swear in all such as are willing to re-enlist
for that term of service. We hear from
several officers direct from these camps that
the men are disposed to re-enlist, of Arse,
with exceptions. The objection most offered
is to the officers of the regiments—many of
whom have proven themselves totally incom-f
petent, and should be cashiered at once. The
impediment of an inefficient command is the
easiest removed of all others that can be
thrown in the way of the organization of the
army, and in these instances there must be no
hesitation on the part of the Commander-in-
Chief of the Pennsylvania troops. In every
case where officers have made themselves com
pletely obnoxious to the volunteers, and where
their notorious inefficiency and flagrant ne
glect of duty render them an impediment in
the way of reorganizing regiments, there
should be no hesitation about their removal,
and the substitution of soldiers capable to
command and able to lead in battle.
Jom Bur, seems to attract considerable at
tention and remark, when it would be best to
pass the poor old man in silence. Ho owed the
prominence which he once enjoyed, to the light
which was reflected through him by association
with the leading spirits of the first half of the
present century; and to his connection with
such men as Clay and Webster, he is indebted
for the distinction with which his name has
been regarded up to the present. Alone, he is
a weak, ventilating, easily tempted and easier
' debauched old man, for whom it would be
kindness to write an epitaph, and of whom it
would be just to remark, that the forgotten
should never be called to mind. His present
position is no more a disgrace than are the acts
of the imbecile and demented a disgrace to
their friends—and the only harm that is really
done in this connection, is the importance
:which the press of the country give to the ac
tion oflohn Bell, in constantly keeping him be
fore the people by their comments and allu
sions. Let him alone in his infamy and igno
rainy.
A Cotivsmox is to meet in Wheeling, Va.,
to-morrow, for the purpose of adopting mea
sures to counteract the proceedings of the dis
unionists, and re-Instate the Old Dominion
once more in the Union. Thirty-five counties
will be represented, comprising the wealth, en
lerprise and industry of the Western part of
that State. It Is currently believed that one
of the first acts of the Convention will be to
despose Gov. Letcher, and provide for the elec
tion of a patriot and true Virginian as his suc
cessor. The people in Western Virginia are
determined not to be dragooned into the
measures of, the rebels;nor to be intimidated by
the armed , force with which the secessionists
have filled' the State. God grant that they
may be iruccesgul.
RETRIBUTION.
The most reliable accounts from the rebel
army convey the most deplorable descriptions
of the condition of the troops. Dismay and
consternation fill the ranks—discord and dis
union prevail among the rebel chiefs. The
wonderful power and resources of the north
have entirely dispelled the underrated opinion
in which the people of the south held the people
of the north—while the enthusiasm with which
the masses are rallying to the support of the
government, has changed the impression and
the estimation of their valor, perseverance and
determination. The rebels feel that they must
fight. They feel that a dreadful retribution
awaits them, and they therfore pause before
they idly enter on what may be their last
battle—in fact, what promises to be their last
struggle for good or evil in this world. Four
weeks since, the vauntiug assertion was made
that the south did not desire to cross swords
with the raw three months volunteers of the
north—that these men were not worthy of
their steel—and that the chivalry intended to
reserue their blows for those who come, not in
the awkward gait of plow-boys and hewers of
wood, but in the martial bearing and courage
of themselves. These taunts and threats were
thrown out in the hope that the three months
volunteers from the north and west would be
come weary of the service at the expiration of
their term—that they would refuse to re-enlist
—and thus leave the government an easy prey
to the rebels. This was the promise and the
succor which the allies of rebellion in the north
conveyed to the insurgents in the south. This
was the inducement that led Davis to remove
his capital from Montgomery to Richmond.
With this understanding, Virginia has been
crowded with rebel troops—and in anticipation
of the refusal to re-enlist on the part of the
first-volunteers, the rebels of Baltimore have
I for a while retired to their dens, there to await
the promised refusal to uphold the government,
and when the proper time arrived, come forth
to wreak their revenge on the few soldiers who
remained to defend the government, and com
pletely. finish the destruction of that govern
ment itself. With Virginia swarming with rebel
hordes—the banks of the Potomac made de
fenceless by the withdrawal of the federal
troops, whose term of service had expired,
Washington city was to have been made an
easy prey—Scott and Lincoln and his cabinet
sure prisoners of war—the meeting of Con
gress in July at once prevented, if not entirely
forever hereafter abolished—and the rule of re
bellion so far established as to make it the
policy of foreign nations to recognize its exist
ence, and thus insure its future power and
position among the nations of the world.
—Such were the dreams and the calculations
of the rebels, but they have all been changed
within the past few weeks. The knowledge
has been brought to them that there will be
few retiring from the ranks of the army at the
end of three months. For every man who may
refuse to re-enlist, a hundred are now ready to
take his place. For every sergeant that will
leave the seat of war and return home, a dozen
are now waiting to take their places in the bri
gade, not only for three years, but for the war.
Jefferson Davis is aware of these facts. His as
sociates in crime and rebellion understand the
real condition and feeling of the people of the
the north. With dissatisfaction behind them,
for having deserted Montgomery as the seat of
their capital—with disease hovering in their
rear, and on their flanks—with jealousy among
their leaders—with discontent among them
selves—the rebels are fast approaching the re
tribution they have so fairly earned and so lit
tle, anticipated. The army around Washing
ton city is alone more than sufficient to crush
them. The force on the march to the federal
city is ample for any purpose of support—while
the reserve corps can be summoned at a mo
ment for the most active duty. Such a condi
tion of affairs with such positions of our forces,
leave no room for the escape of the rebels, and
render their retribution and destruction certain.
THE NORTH AMERICAN of Saturduy last, in
well written article on the discipline of the
Pennsylvania army, urges the immediate exer
cise of the utmost rigor towards the brigade
and regiment officers, and suggests that Gen.
Patterson should depose and disgrace a few of
the very worst in order to impress the others
with the necessity of discipline and devotion to
their positions. It urges that if the reins were
tightly drawn at once, the officers high and
low, feeling their influence, would be compelled
to do their duty. We express the universal
sentiment of the state when we urge that this
should be done. Any general who will
do this will be sure of the earnest support
of the people in his measures however harsh
and repressive they may appear to the thought
less. We have had too much grumbling and
discontent where there was little if any reason
for it. We want soldiers now, not epicures,
dandies, nor critics of the art of making shoes
and breeches. Whether complaints be well or
ill founded, if they tend to detract from the
discipline or effectiveness of an army they should
be treated as insubordination, and punished as
such. Above all things else, it is now time
that the volunteer should be taught to know
his place as well as his drill. Unless this be
done all attempts at discipline must be farcical.
The camp is no place to cater for popularity.—
Obedience to orders cannot be taken there as a
favor to some officer who is a good fellow. Any
discrimination in the duty of obedience is a
military offence. The soldier's opinions, what
ever they may be, have no place in the camp.
Active services are the only things to be re
garded. Of all military lessons this seems the
most difficult to teach the volunteers. They
feel a sort of independence which is incompati
ble with discipline.
JEFFERSON DAVIS has issued letters of marque.
Why not go a step farther, and legitimatize high
way robbery? Why not organize a fleet of
land pirates, who shall go forth armed with
permits to ravish and plunder ad libitum? Why
not offer a bounty upon the picking of locks,
the robbing of tills, and the filching of spoons?
Why not equip a "Thieves' Brigade," composed
of veterans in the light-fingered line, arm them
with sacks and side-pockets and command them
to go forth to steal?

Tim PORTENDING STORM.
As the rebels in grand army are approaching
Washington city, those who are left at home
begin to realize, at least in their fears, the
effects of another storm that is brewing around
them in all quarters. There is no longer any
possibility of concealing their fears of negro
insurrection—nor can they postpone that which
their own haste, their own indiscretion in
speech and publication produced. If there is
disaffection among the slaves, it was brought
about by the means used to defeat Lincoln. In
the last Presidential election, it was a favorite
argument for Breckenridge Democrats to de
clare that the election of either Douglas or
Lincoln would be the signal of a general
slavery emancipation in the south. The slaves
heard these assertions—they know that Lincoln
is President—and they are told now that the
preparation in the south, is to resist this same
emancipation, which every southern slave
holder believes that Lincoln is attempting
to force upon them—wofully mistaking the
efforts of the government to maintain itself,
for a pitiful crusade against themselves and
their domestic institution.
—But to our quotations from the southern
press, to prove the danger which the southern
people have, created for themselves. The fol
lowing, which we find in the North Alabamian,
is a specimen in point :
"SEARCH YOUR NEGRO . QUARTERS.—Recent in
vestigations have developed the fact that many
of our negroes have fire arms, bowie knives and
amimition in their possession, and it is expe
dient that every slave owner should make a
careful search of his negro quarters, and secure
all such arms and munition ; also, to keep
a constant watch over all suspicious persons who
may be loitering around. A little care be
stowed upon this subject may save much trou
ble in the future."
The people of New Orleans are among the
worst scared at the demon they have aroused
and cannot now allay. The True Delta is fully
impressed with the fact that the negroes are
hatching mischief, and therefore offers ,the fol
lowing solemn warning :
"UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLAGES. —We have again
and again received information of the motions
and sentiments of vagabond free persons of
color, upon whom it would be well that the po
lice should keep an eye. These mon are with
out ostensible means of earning a livelihood,
and arc by many degrees too familiar with our slave
population, instilling into their minds sanguine notions
of the 'good time' to be experienced in the °vent of
Lincoln's hoped-for success over the southern
people. The lake end of the Pontchartrain
Railro*d is infested with persons of this char
acter, who exhibit a remarkable shrewdness
in broaching their pestiferous hints and sug-
gestions.
"The city also affords rendezvous at which
there are githered knots of these vagabonds at
unseasonable hours,. Qf course, the localities
are selected with a view to privacy and remote
ness from the inquisitive eye of the watchmen.
Careful espionage may bring to light the object
of these nocturnal conenhations."
When we remember that fugitives are floc*,
ing by scores to Fort Monroe—that the stam
pede from the slave states to Canada is daily
on the i4CreaS3—the prospect for our southern
rebels becomes exceedingly cheering. As they
rowed the wind, so let them reap the whirlwind.
Wars rnE DRVIL turns parson, he should be
careful from what test he attempts to preach.
So should the Breckenridge organs in this State
be careful how they attack the , President for
removals from office. When hi power, this
same class of politicians were the most bitterly
relentless and persecuting that ever attempted
to gratify their friends and the feuds.
ELEVEN Alongs.—We are able to announce
rn unquestionable authority, that Gen. Scott
has so tar matured the plans for the war as to
inform the President and Cabinet that the last
secession flag shall be torn down, the authority
of the federal government reinstated on every
foot of American soil, and Jeff. Davis hung or
driven out of the country, within eleven
months from the day when Fort Sumter was
surrendered. About the 4th of March next he
will hand over the Union, sale and sound, to
its constituted and constitutional authorities.
Old Lundy Lane takes his time to map out the
campaign and put his forces in the best fight
ing trim, and then he always wins at the time
of day he agrees to. He has taken the contract
to wind up the Disunion business within 11
months from the thirteenth of April, and he
will do it.
We understand that it is a part of General
Scott's plan to occupy Virginia and Tennessee
completely on or before the 20th of July.
Sixty-five thousand Northwestern troops will
move down the Mississippi as far as Memphis,
under command of Generals Fremont and
McClelland, and remain in camp until the
sickly season is past, when they will move on
toward the Belize, there meeting the conquer
ing army of the East and celebrating Washing
ton's birth day in New Orleans.
THE RECOGNITION. OP SOIIITIERN STATES AS
BELLIGEIIIINTS--The announcement by the Brit
ish Ministry of their purpose to recognize the
so-called Confederate States as belligerents, was
coupled with assurances of a desire to act with
entire impartiality in our affairs. The act does
not comport with the assurance. A recogni
tion of insurgents as belligerents, though of a
less marked character than a recognition of
them as a rotion, is yet a preliminary step in
the same direction. It is an act evincing a
favorable disposition towards those so recog
nized, and, consequently, to the same extent,
evincing an unfriendly disposition towards the
Government which is suppressing the insurrec
tion.
England did not recognize the Hungarians even as
belligerents in their struggle for liberty in 1848. She
did rwt recognize the Neapolitans as belligerents when
they revolted the same year. She did recognize the
Italians as belligerents last year, and has since
followed up by recognizing Italy as a nation.
Illustrations are enough to show that such re
cognition is not a necessity, but an indication
of sympathy. The English Cabinet recognizes
any revolutionists as belligerents when it de
sires them to succeed, and refuses to so recog
nizo them when it desires them to fall.
WE have discouraging accounts of the
ravages of the army worm, cut worm and fly,
in portions of Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri. In many places they
hare eaten up entire meadows, and made con
siderable havoc in the corn and wheat fields.
The St. Louis Republican says that the crop will
nevertheless be abundant, if the present promise
is fulfilled,since it is but a small portion of any
district that suffers from these visitations.
ACKNOWLEDGING Tns ConN.—The papers state
that some one at the seat of the so - called rebel
Government, at Montgomery, sent lieutenant
General Scott an ear of corn, with a note en
closed, offering it for the General's acceptance,
which incident is thus translated by your
friend :
An ear of corn the rebels sent to Scott,
They little knew its true interpretation •
The jest designed, 'tie portent of their lot—
Corn le a tribute paid on subjugation.
THE WAN, ON THE MISSISL4PPI.—The Govern
ment is preparing a number of gunboats on the
Mississippi. Some of these will be cased with
iron to resist the shot from the batteries erected
upon that river. Others will be strongly built
tug boats, strengthened for war purposes. The
lower Mississippians feel much concerned about
these manifestations, and at New-Orleans, par
ticularly, there is a great deal of apprehension
entertained of an invasion from above. Every
little movement about Cairo is chronicled as
soon as made, and a great deal more space given
to events there, than those transpiring near the
seat of the Federal Government. The Western
movement, will, no doubt, be a formidable one
when it commences its work, and New-Orleans
will .be its object.

GOV. BANKS IN COMMAND AT BALTIPAORF.
MARYLAND TREASON BAULKED.
The First Blow a Heavy One
WASHINGTON, June 9, 1861
The important movements of which we have
advised you, have begun. A portion of the
force which moves from this direction toward
Harper's Ferry has marched. Other regiments
will soon follow.
Major-General Banks will take command at
Baltimore, while General Cadwallader, whom
he relieves, leads a column from the Relay
House to cooperate with General Patterson's
force, which will move by way both of Hagers
town and Frederick.
General McDowell's cmdmand will fully oc
cupy the attention of the rebels at Manassas
Junction, while the three columns are inclosing
Harper's Ferry.
This advance will not have been made a mo
ment too soon. Maryland has been left to her
own devices too long. A messenger from Gov.
Hicks has been here warning the Administra
tion of the perils that menance the Capital,
from the disloyal province of which he is nomi
nally the Chief Magistrate. He represented
the ease with which the enemy at Harper's
Ferry could assail Washington through Fred
erick City and Baltimore, with the aid which
they would be sure to receive at both places,
and begged the Government to beware of an
inroad that might cut off communication with
the North, and transform a half converted
State into an open rebel. He requested that
Frederick City might be occupied by a sufficient
force, and that the regiments at Baltimore
might receive a reinforcement.
Marshal Bonifant was here from Baltimore
to-day on a similar errand. He states that
there are at least four thousand men in that
city who only await a favorable opportunity
to rise and use the arms which they have con
cealed,against their country, and that a tempo
rary success would embolden many others to
join them.
These representations may have somewhat
hastened measures which had already been de
cided upon. It is more and more evident that,
so long as the Virginia rebels are within reach
of Maryland, Washington cannot be pronounc
ed thoroughly oat of danger, and that they
may continue to possess means to strike us in
the rear, until not only Harper's Ferry and
I Manassas Junction, but Richmond also, are in
our hands.
Whether these desirable results can be ac
compliched by the forces at present at the dis
posal of General Scott, is a question on which
men may differ,but all rejoice that the Govern
ment has determined to put the matter beyond
a doubt, by the acceptance of all full regiments
that offer their services.
It is certain that, beside the New Hampshire
regiment, some 1,500 or 2,000 District volun
teers, and the Ithode Island regiment, of whose
participation in the movement we have already
advised you, the New York 9th will be in the
column of advance ; probably, also, the New
York 12th and 71st.
A battery of artillery has already started by
way of Georgetown and the Chain Bridge.—
Other troops—volunteer and regular—have
marched, or gone by rail. Several other regi
ments start early in the morning.
it is said that 10,000 men will be en the
march in time to co-operate in the movement.
Harper's Ferry will fall in season to emphasize
the action of the Wheeling Convention, which
meets on Tuesday. Fifteen delegates are to
represent Eastern Virginia and the valley.
An officer and private of the Virginia cavalry
were captured six or seven miles beyond the
lines by a scouting party of the Pennsylvania
Fifth, through the patriotic instincts of the dog
regiment. He reported to his superior officer,
by insisting upon continually returning to a
certain point, that he bad treed the enemy.—
The party followed him and came suddenly
upon four rebels in uniform, two of whom they
succeeded in taking prisoners.
There is no doubt that General Scott is fully
apprised of the plans of the enemy, and fully
prepared to meet and discomfit them. Though
the scheme ascribed to Davis and Beauregard,
which we communicated last night : may not
be the real one in matters of detail, it is so in
substance.
Maryland was the vu l nerable spot through
which they intended to deal Washington and
the country a terrible blow, and this week is
the time at which that blow was to have been
struck. Frederick City and Baltimore were
ready to assist, and it was arranged that a large
body of men should be thrown between the
capital and the North.
If they be not more wary than is probable,
the blow they meditate will recoil upon them
selves. The points which they desert in order
to assume theoffensive may fall into our hands,
and the forces with which they mean to move
forward may be cut off in detail.
Should Harper's Ferry and Manassas Junc
tion, as well as the troops which have hitherto
garrisoned each, and perhaps a re•inforcement
from Richmond, also fall at a blow, the leaders
will have to thank their own temerity, and the
country will be indebted to the vigilance of
General Scott.
