APPOINTMENTS BY THE GOVERNOR
PAYIKAI3T66 GENERAL,
H. D. Maxwell, East Op.
It is confidently anticipated that this ap
pointment will give general satisfaction, as Mr.
Maxwell is one of the most reliable men in the
commonwealth.
An additional Surgeon and Assistant were
appointed to-day, as follows :
J. A. Philips, Pittsburg, Surgeon.
Daniel McKinney, Huntingdon county, As
sistant Surgeon.
Tam APPOINTMENT OP Hox. Wrtranx hi. Micas
nrrs has given general satisfaction to the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, if we may judge from
the tone of the press throughout the state.
Without distinction of party it has been en
dorsed as the very best that could be made,
and 'the Governor congratulated on the addi
tional strength and respectability it gives his
administration. We believe it is safe to de
clare that the duties of Attorney General were
never discharged by a more profound lawyer
or an abler man than the one who now occu
pies that position.
Tam VIRGIMAREI have always boasted that
one F. F. V. could worst a dozen mud. sills.
This has been proven to be a mistake by their
own testimony. When Ellswcrth's Zouaves
marched to attack Alexandria, a despatch was
sent to Richmond saying that "a thousand men
are marching on Alexandria, therefore send ns
ten thousand good and true men for defence: ,
Ten to one is now the average. Ten "good
and trim" F. F. V's to overcome one mud-sill.
A small difference, which our brave volunteers
will speedily accept.
DUTH or Hos. G. M. Beau.—Hon. George
M. Beim, a prominent and well known citizen
of Beading, and equally as prominent in Penn
sybrania, died In that city yesterday. He re
presented the Becks county district in Congress
from 1888 to 1848. Subsequently he served
for a number of years as United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, resi
dent in Philadelphia. He was a gentleman of
excellent character, always ranked high social
ly, and was universally respected.
IT HAS been ascertained, from the best avail
able sources, that the entire effective force of
the rebels in the State of Virginia, does not
exceed fifty thousand men. In order to arouse
the resentment of this force, General Beaure
prd has issued a proclamation from Manassas
Gap, extravagantly picturing the deplorable
consequences to be expected from the invasion
of the Federal troops.
Tim PROPIM who have gained wealth, reputa.
Lion, credit, power and position in a Union that
was founded for a permanent purpose on an
eternal basis, and then violently attempt to
destroy all other interests but their own, in
seeking to break up such a Union, are guilty of
a crime the basest in the criminal record, and
dare not expect mercy at the hands of God or
man.
COMM TO THEIR Sinss.—The Adriatic brings
the important intelligence that the British
Government have decided not to allow the
entry of privateers into their ports. This news
is interesting to us, and a good deal more so to
the lords of the cotton realm. If it be true, it
knocks a very large stone from the underpin
ning of the edifice of secession Monarchy.
Jens B. BOMAN, an attache of the Philadel
phisPreu, passed through Harrisburg to-day en
route for the army along the line of operations
extending from Cliambersburg. Mr. Sheredan
is one of the ablest and most industrious cor
respondents connected with the press of this
country.
Tai &mums PATRIOT denies the report
that the Michigan regiment was attacked while
marching through Baltimore on Sunday last.
It says that on the contrary the march was
orderly, and if any demonstrations were made,
they were of a congratulation and welcomVng
instead of a belligerent character.
JO= L. HAIM of New Hampshire, has been
appointed chief clerk of the Patent Offic/e, in
the place of Shugart, removed. Mr. Sheigart
Is a Pennsylvania printer, and was connected
with the Patent Office for many years . . He
was appointed to a clerkship in that bureau
under the administration of Van Buren.
Woe DIMITICTIOX is reported to exist fimong
the Kentuckians on the Maryland Heights,
near Frederick, and a rumor is current here
that In a few days they intend displaying the
stars and stripes, and probably deserting the
confederate cane in a body.
Trainmen overshadows Eastern Virginia
like a black pall. Planters aro in constant
fear of their lives ; slaves are deserting, crops
are poor, while only war, with its devastation
and horror, stares them in the face.
170 W IT Is DOSE.
Considerable complaint Jim rLc, , iitly been
made against the incompetency of rt Oment and
brigade officers. Those who complain also
censure the President or the Governor, as the
case may be, for appointing men to position
personalty inexperienced and professionally un
qualified to discharge the duties pertaining to
such positions. The question is then asked.
Who is to blame ? We answer, the people them
selves. By universal consent—by the acqui
esence of Gen. Scott himself, a certain number
of civilians were to be selected to fill some of
the vacancies made by the resignation of offi
cers resident in seceded states. The applicacants
for such appointments were of course presented
to the President by letter and petition. They
were backed by their friends, who are con
stantly beseiging the War Department. They
were endorsed by their friends who clung to the
President until a commission is wrung from
his hands. After all this had been done—after
the President was forced to rely on the recom
mendation of friends to aid him in selecting
men to fill these vacancies—the newly appoint
ed officers are left to the President or Gover
nor, the service and the country. If they
prove to be incompetent, the appointing power
is censured. Those who recommended, insisted
and often clamored for the appointment of such
an incompetent applicant, with a full know
, ledge of his incomptency, are not held respon
sible. They are unknown to the public—and
yet they are men, citizens, with an equal in
terest in the success of the government, and a
fall knowledge of the importance of having
competent and efficient officers. After they
have succeeded in elevating a ft Lend, they leave
the responsibility of his conduct to the Execu
tive who has appointed him. After they have
endorsed his ability and lauded his
qualities, thus inducing the appoint
ing power to recognize him, they have
his success to chance, and charge his failures,
if such a failure takes place, to the inability of
the appointing power to discriminate between
a good and a bad man. The public do not
properly understand these facts, and it is time
that a knowledge of the mode in which men
are elevated by appointment should come to
their understanding. Particularly in the ap
pointment of men to military position. In
these cases the national and state governments
have been completely run down by applicants,
and their recommending, advocating friends,
who join to their friendship and zeal for their
favorites the cry that party preferences should
be obliterated and the claims of all considered
as equal. This the national and state admin
istrations have both acccepted as sound policy.
Men have been appointed to military position
on such recommendation, and their appoint
ment only obtained on the representation of
those who were presumed to know them, and
who were themselves recommended or known
as responsible citizens. Who is to blame,
then, if such appointments have proven fail
ures? Let those answer who clamored until
they were made, and not visit on the heads of
the executives the responsibility of faults which
belong to the people. Let those answer who
recommend and endorse applicants, and assume
the responsibility as they appropriate the credit
growing out of the success of applicants for of
ficial position.
It would be productive of great good, if a
rule was adopted compelling every man who
received an appointment, to publish in a news
paper where the duties of such position are lo
cated, the petition and letters of recommenda
tion by which his appointment was obtained.
It those appointed proved incompetent, then
those who recommended and endorsed him,
would be made responsible.
THE PAY OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
TROOPS.
The Secretary of the Treasury has tele_
graphed to Phila'ielphia that the federal gov
ernment is ready to pay the troops mustered
into the service of the country. Pennsylvania
is able to pay her own troops, provided the
federal government will detail the pay masters
for such service. Governor Curtin is ready
now to second any effort on the part of the
federal government for this purpose, asking
only the assistance of the regular aimy pay
masters, from whom the State will take vouch
ers for the money thus disbursed. We trust
that the money due the volunteers will be at
once forthcoming, or rather that the govern
ment at Washington will send the authorities
at Harrisburg commissioned pay masters to
render to the soldier his due. If this is not
speedily done, the confidence of the suldier in
the government will be sadly impaired.
A great display has been made in regard to
the action of other states on the subject of
paying their volunteers, while the truth is,
that not a single state has thus far been able,
or at least have not paid their volunteers. At
any , time Pennsylvania could have liquidated
, this indebtedness. All she asks is for the
proper authority and legal officers from the
federal government to make this payment.
REBEL AUDACITY.
A report was presented to the Matyland Le
gislature yesterday from certain commissioners
who had been on an official visit to the den of
traitors at Montgomery. Accompanying this
report was a paper from Jefferson Davis ex
pressing his gratification to hear that the State
of Maryland was enlisted on the side of peace
and reconciliation, and avowing his perfect
willingness for a cessation Of hostilities, and a
readiness to receive any propositions for peace
from the United States Government, but the
action of that power forbids any such hope.
This is decidedly cool, and we may now expect
to learn that Davis is preparing a plan of peace
for the acquiescence of the United States. His
first request to be let alone, is scarcely exceed
ed by this his last attempt at audacity. We
trust that when the Government proposes to
Davis, it will be not for peace, but to give him
the alternative of an -unconditional surrender
or an immediate subjugation.

perutogivania (lEtlegrapb, Diebncobap 'Afternoon, June 12, 1.861.
History teaches the best lesson that man can
learn. When we bring up its records with the
present—when we array its truths with our
own experiences, we are as often impressed
with the fact that we have been mistaken in
our estimation of men and our judgment of
their merits, as we have heretofore shown our
ingratitude for their services. Gen. Scott, for
instance, was as great a man and as skillturan
officer twenty years ago, as he is now, but how
many of the American people would admit the
fact? He fought as well at Lundy's Lane as he
did from Vera Cruze to the city of Mexico, but
when the smoke of battle had vanished and
the intoxication of victory had passed away,
Gen. Scott was rejected by the American people
for the highest office in their gift, and the
honor conferred on one below him in rank in
the Army, and scarcely his equal as a wise and
sagacious statesman. This rejection did not
affect the loyalty of the Hero. While the
American people thus preferred another, Gen.
Scott expressed no chagrin at his own rejection,
showed no bitterness towards those 'who were
successful, but steadily and sternly devoted him
self to his country. He was almost forgotten in
the midst of the political revelry and de
bauchery 'that filled the country after the
Mexican war—forgotten by all save the malevo
lence and spite of those who were than in
power. It was not enough that the American
people should refuse him their confidence after
he had crowned the national escutcheon with
the trophies of his victories, but it was re
served for the American Government to attempt
the disgrace of its own veteran chief, to labor
to destroy one who was bleeding for wounds be
received while struggling in its defence. Had
such ingratitude occurred when the efeSEITS
wielded their falchions, the hero, backed by
his army, would have demolished the govern
ment that sough his disgrace. But while all
the other departments were reeking with cor
ruption—while place made men dishonest, and
public servants either became secret or avow
ed traitors, Winfield Scott almost stood alone,
the friend of his ungrateful country in her dark
est peril. He saw the Army dwindling away
under the influence of treason—he beheld its
resources destroyed, its supplies filched, and
discipline closed his lips, but he was still the
friend of his country. For four years he was
aware of the existence of treason, but was pre
vented from striking, until at length crime
and the excesses of traitors brought the guilt
before the country—and then Winfield Scott
stood forth almost the only support and de
fender of that country. He turned a deaf ear
to flattery; and remembered none of the insults
and neglects heaped upon hiniself. He refused
the appeals from the State of his birth, scorned
their offered honors and spit upon their profer
ed praises. His country was in danger, and
that demanded and received his loyalty, his
labor and his services.
Honor then, to Gen. Scott. He may be en
gaged in his last - campaign, but the last laurel
to decorate his home will never be wreathed.
That will be immortal.
Governor Curtin caused death warrants to be
issued yesterday in two murder cases, for the
execution of the criminals convicted at the
time specified in the warrants as folloWs :
William Weaver, of Perry county, convicted
and sentenced to be hung for poisoning his
wife. The evidence on which Weaver was tried
and convicted was of a circumstantial character.
His execution is fixed for the 6th of September
next.
Armstrong, tried and convicted in Philadel
phia for the murder of a man whom be had de
coyed into his wagon on pretence of taking a
ride, will be hung on the 9th of August next,
VAN DORN, late Major of the United States
army, was, at the latest advices, at the Leena
river, eignty-five miles west of San Antonio,
where he captured Colonel Reeve 'and his com
mand. Van Dorn has fourteen companies of
cavalry, five of infantry and one of artillery,
making a force of some 1,200 men, with ample
supplies of arms and amnnition, taken from the
San Antonio Arsenal, and ample means of trans
portation, taken from the Quartermaster's de
partment. His avowed determination is the
occnpati3n of Arizona, to secure a passage to
the Pacific, thereby opening a communication
with the 80,000 Breckinridge and Lane men in
California, one-half of whom are secessionists ;
also, to secure Gnayamas and Cape St. Louis as
depots for privateers to pounce on the ships of
the Pacific Mail Company. The Mexican
States of Chihuahua and Sonora have no force
to oppose him, and when once there, ten thou
sand men and ten millions of money would be
required as the ounce of cure, while two thou
sand men would now be the - ounce of pre
ventive.
THE Philadelphia stock market was dull but
steady yesterday, and a light business was
done both at the Board and outside. in bread
stuffs the movement was small and prices gen
erally rather weak. No change in cottton or
provisions, and the sales light. Groceries
were firmer, bat without anything doing in the
way of sales. Ooal was unaltered, and iron,
whisky and wool dull at previous quotations.
GEN. Penmen has placed an operaior in the
telegraphic office at Chambersburg, whose busi
ness it will be to supervise all the dispatches
relating to the movements of the army going
from that office. .
PAY AND PENSIONS OF • VOLUNTNERS.—The fol

being mustered into the service of the United
states, volunteers are entitled to pay, the
same as regular troops. If disabled by wounds
received in service, or disease contracted in
service, they are entitled to an invalid pension
during life, or as long as the disability con
tinues. If any are killed or die in the service
of the United' States, leaving a'widow, sheis
I entitled to what pay is due her husband, and
a pension. If there is no widow, the child
or children of such volunteer is entitled to the

BALTIMORE, June 12
The. steamer from Old Point has arrived.—
The account received yesterday, embracing all
the intelligence received at the head quarters
up to the departure of the steamer, was cor
rect. No further military movements have
taken place. The soldiers were resting from
the great fatigue of the previous day, conse
quent upon a. march of twenty miles and an
action of nearly two hours, with not a com
plete meal for twenty four hours.
On the withdrawal of the Federal troops the
rebel cavalry and infantry, in considerable
force, followed as far as the New Market
bridge, this side of Little Bethel, inhumanly
charging, in some instances, on those bringing
off the dead and wounded. The enemy had in
the action six guns' behind batteries. There
were about twenty killed, and it is said the
number of wounded is not so great as at first
reported.
Among the wounded of the 3d New York
Regiment are Joseph Richards, slight bayonet
wound in the thigh ; W. C. Batty, mortally in
the abdomen : James Garbette, shot in the
thigh ; E. W. Stone, slightly ; F. A. Baker, in
the leg, slight; George Boyce, shot through
the left axilla ; W. Hall, shot in the wrist.
Wounded in the New York 6th Regiment :
John Dunn, right elbow, dangerously—ampu
tated; Jos. Knowles, shot in the arm—ampu
tated ; John Conway, shot In the leg; Adolph
Vicennes, shot in the cheat ; Jos. Yeager, shot
under the scalpula ; Conrad Granth, wounded

SICOND DBPATOR
BaaarmoßE, June 12
A gentleman of respectability who came up
from Old Point this morning and spent some
time in the fortress dining yesterday and Mon-
day, says the passengers were greatly astonish.
ed on reaching here to learn the greatly exag
gerated accounts relative to the repulse at Great
Bethel. Up to the timethe boat left last. eve
ning he was in conversation with both regulars
and volunteers who were in the engagement.
Some mortification was expressed at the bad
management of Gen. Pierce, but none as to the
extent of the loss, which was found to be less
than at first supposed on account of the tem
porary advantage gained by the Confederates.
One of Lieut. Greble's command assured our
informant that bad- an advance been ordered
instead of retreat, the battery would have been
taken in five minute more. Lieut. Greble had
silenced all their guns except one rifled cannon,
which was fired with great rapidity and con
centrated entirely on his command. This gun
was worked well, but all the rest were badly
managed, their balls cutting off the tops of
limbs of trees over their heads. Had the bat
tery been well supplied with experienced gun
ners no doubt the loss would have been heavy.
Lieut. Greble spiked his gun'at the moment
he received orders to retreat, as it is supposed,
on account of his surprise at the orders, pre
suming that Gen. Pierce had discovered an at
tempt ,to cat him off, and that if his gun
should be captured in the retreat he would
make it harmless. He had just driven the
spike home when he was killed by a ball strik
ing him on the back of the head.
The New York Zouaves, - under Col. Bendix,
evinced great bravery, and could with difficulty
be restrained from making an assault without
orders. Five confederates are known to have
been killed by the Zouaves on the outside
works, and it is presumed from the effective
firing of Lieut. Greble, that considerable dam
age must have been done to confederates inside
of the battery, which was built of sand bags
hidden from view by bushes.
Number of Zouaves killed five, wounded
twenty, seven missing. They attributed their
heavy lose to the bright uniforms, whilst the
regulars attribute it to their superior bravery.
The whole number killed and wounded, as far
as ascertained at the fortress up to last evening,
was 19 killed, 47 wounded, 5 missing.
The rumored loss of Major Winthrop was un
founded. Several were killed and inhumanly
slaughtered whilst engaged in carrying off
their wounded, which caused most a bitter feel
ing among the troops last evening. Just as
the boat was leaving the Zouaves brought in
three prisoners-La captain of Confederate caval
ry and two privates, splendidly mounted. The
elegant trappings of the captain's horse at
tracted great attention. Another attack on
Greatßethel is shortly expected. The picket
guards extended nearly to the battle-field.

LATEST FROM HAGERSTOWN,
REASONS FOR THE NON•ADVANCE OF
GEN. PATTERSON'S DIVISION
I=l
The
for the Recognition of the Southern
Confederacy.
THE UNION MEN INDIGNANT
Forcible Dispersion of the Legisla•
ture Recommended.
Heesserown, June 12
Intelligence received by the Union men
here assign two reasons for the non.advance of
Gen. Patterson's division. First,, that the
Legislature is In session at Frederick, and the
column from Washington must come by that
route; they hope the Legislature will adjourn
to-morrow. And, second, that the Govern
ment desire to keep the troops out of Mary
land until after the Congressional election,
which takes place to-morrow.
The action of the Maryland House of Dele
gates instructing their Senators in Congress to
vote fot the recognition of the Southern Con
federacy, has excited deep resentment among
the Union men in this part of the State. Many
say that the Federal Government ought to dis
perse the Legislature by force.
The expresses sent out last night to Williams
port and Dam No. 6 report that there wps no
firing at either place during the night, but
there was more or less firing at the Dam all
day yesterday. It is thought that the firing
will be renewed this afternoon. None of the
Marylanders were hurt yesterday, but one Vir
ginian was struck yesterday evening.
WASHINGTON, Jane 12
The Government must be represented by
those who are above suspicion. James E. Harvey
must be recalled. Tne Executive can see him
in no other light than that of a traitor. The
man who with one hand can receive favors,
and, at the same time, with the other aim a
deadly thrust at our national vitality, is either
unfit to represent the Lincoln Administration
in any capacity, or the Administration is übfit
to represent the nation. The people look at
least for a pure political atmosphere as one of
the results of the present disturbed condition
or the country ; and God grant that not only
traitors, but those who are unable to appreciate
their national privileges, and are willing to
barter their birthright for a mess of pottage,
may be deprived at least of the opportunity of
injuring honest citizens by position or political
influence. Let us mat more breathe the pure
political atmosphere our fathers enjoyed.
POSITION OF THE ARMY
WAsimoroar, June 12
The recent movement of troops has changed
the position of the army in the vicinity of
Washington. Five regiments have left the
city for Hagerstown and Frederick via the Re
lay House. Two thousand five hundred infant
ry and cavalry have gone out in the direction
of Rockville. The number gone out on this
route is stated as high as 4,600, but I cannot
so figure it, with the troops so remaining.
Then, we have seventeen regiments across on
the south side of the river, investing the
country from ten miles above Georgetown down
over Arlington Heights to Alexandria, and ten
miles below that city. These are all under the
command of General McDowell, and are ardu
ously engaged on the forts and breastworks, on
which cannon are placed as soon as the works
are completed. The number already sent over
and placed in position is very large, and daily
additions are being made.
ELECTION IN KANSAS-MILITARY MOVE
MENTS.
LKAVIENWORTH, June 11
A special election was held in this State to
day for a member of Congress. There was no
opposition in the re-election of L. A. Conway,
the Republican candidate. A very light vote
was polled. Four companies of infantry left
Fort Leavenworth yesterday for St. Joseph.--
Two companies of infantry and one of dragoons
went to Kansas City to-day, and will be fol
lowed by two companies of cavalry. The ob
ject is to assist the loyal citizens of those places
in forming home guards.
REQUISITION FOR MORE TROOPS.
WARRINGTON, June 12
The President to•day made a requisition on
Gov. Morton, of Indiana, for six additional
regiments. Colonels Meredith, A. D. Brown,
and McMillen are each to command a regiment.
The remaining three regiments are to be or
ganized as formerly. Great credit is due to
Senator H. S. Lane for his untiring efforts in
behalf of his State.
Colonels McMillen and Brown served in the
Mexican war, the former in Baker's Illinois, and
the latter in Senator Lane's Indiana regiments.
RAISING THE UNION GUN
Bemmons, Jane 12
The parties engaged in raising the monster
gun from the dock at Locust Point made con
considerable progress yesterday. It is hauled
up muzzle foremost, and at six o'clock yester
day evening about eight feet of the gun was
out of water, leaving the heaviest part, some
eight feet in length, still below. They are
sanguine of getting it on the wharf to-day.
