Sasnam SCHOOL CALSBILOHON.—The annual oelebtstion of the Sunday School connected with Shoop's church took place on last Saturdayi and was quite a pleasant affair. At an early hour the teachers and scholars of the school assembled in a grove near the resi dence of Mr. Alphred blilleison, in company with their parents, and a large number of visi tors. The exercises commenced with prayer after which addresses were delivered by Rev. M. A. Smith of Hummelstown, and Rev. G. T. Martz of thiscity. The singing was performed by a choir of young ladies and gentlemen, accompanied by fine toned melodeons, which sounded very sweetly in the open air. An attractive feature of the exercise was the presence of two military companies, whose martial music, and skillful , evointiona, afforded considerable amusement to the little ones. After the exercises of the morn-. ing a collation of wholesome and substantial refreshments was served ,up by the ladies, which was partaken of , by some four or five persons. The afternoon was devoted to music and other social amusements, which were, how ever, interrupted at an early hour by a shower of rain. FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL. orreepouaeate el the Telegraph Yesterday was a gala day in the vicinity •of rennetly town. Gen. McClellan, accompanied by a twat of military chieftains and civilians, proceeded to the encampment of the Pennsylva nia reserve for the purpose of witnessing the drill and field exercise of the various regiments. The Pennsylvania boys sustained themselves adniliably, and won golden opinions from the General. Their active movements, soldierly bearing, and the quickness with which they performed every evolution, elicited unbounded admiration from the distinguished visitorapres ent, and Gen. /Wall was complimented very highly for his tuttiring efforts in disciplining the men under his oommtuid. There is a foul blot to be erased from Perinsylvania's escutcheon— tile cowardly conduct of the Fourth regiment when the battle at Bull Bun was raging at its highest pitch, and about which Gen. McDowell duyoted a paragraph of his official report—and I feel confident that the volunteers now in the field from that proud State will wipe out the stigma that has been cast on her fair fame: A signal corps has been formed principally from the reserve corps, and promises, to render incalculaT ble service, It is controlled by a notable officer, who has performed like service on anterior oc casions. William Woodall, formerly a ser geant in the Kepner Fenciblee, from your city, represents in part that company in the corps. The pay of the members is twenty-one dollars per month. Gen. McClellan no doubt feels justly proud of the soldiers in the field from his native State, and he will certainly place them, when the desirable time comes, in a po sition where they can win glory and renown. Commodore Dahlgren, commander of the Washington Navy Yaid, has requested the Navy Department to issue no more passes to persons desiring admittance, except those who have bu siness to transact. The thousands of visitors daily _. to the yard, have annoyed the Commodore very much, and have liarrassed the employees withinterrogatives to such an extent, that they could; not do justice to the work assigned them. The request was readily. complied with, and hereafter none can gain ingress except on spe cial business. There is a larger force employed now in the yard than there has ever been here tofore, and it is said that . eight cannon are turned out daily, besides sundry other death dealing instruments. ,Add to this the various gun-boats that are constantly plying between that place and the anbouchtue of the Potomac, makes it the most lively and stirring place of the Metropolis. • The provost guard of this city is doing good service, and it is really amusing to see the wry faces of officers when passes are demanded of them. The guard discharge their duties faith fully, without fear, favor, or affection. O ffi cers are no longer seen u nnecessarily away fro .. their poets , and loafing' about the saloons and principal hotels. Soldiers; too, no longer barri cade the streets, or are seen in an intoxicating state. Whisky -sellers obey the mandate very reluctantly, but they know full well that their movements are watched very closely, and that If they are detectizi in disregarding the law they will be dealt with severely. hence all parties 'regard the law comma 17 foul, through fear of dis: covery, and the punishment that will certainly ensue. The citizens of this city feel very grate ful to provost marshal Porter, for his unremit ting zeal and energy in maintaining such good 'order, and well they may be, for the city has never been governed better since its foundation than at the present period. This city is walled in as perfectly as Paris was prior to.the battle of Waterloo, or as Carthage was when in the,zenith of its glory, and before liliundbil was' defeated by Scipio. A hill near the old Bladensburg dwelling ground is being fortified, and as many as sixty or seventy guns will be Animated on the embrasures shortly. This hill commands the country for miles around, and is one of the most formidable sites that could have,.lteen selected fora fortification. There is a great deal of revolutionary fame at tached to this particular spot, it being the hill where General,Whnler, in 1814, like the King of France, -"With several thousand men, Marched np the hill, and then down again." ,Every available point to the city is also thor oughly fortified, and we feel as safe here, not withstanding the rebel &gig seen in the dis tance, as Louis Napoleon does in his regal chair. I hear it said that the people of the north have fears that the Oldbitol will be at tacked by the rebels. Ities deluded idea. On Are contrary they are expecting a coup de man ,from our army daily, as verified by a statement In n en ; a dmatter. nAto. came insfe of 031K411,95 ~~~;~: a: MEE W4fGIUNGTON, Sept. 22, 1861 now few days ago. Let all such fears be dispelled: The regiment that has been raising in this district for some time is now full, and a finer looking body of men could not be scared up anywhere. Mr. Richard Wallach, Berretta successor, presented, in behalf of the ladles of the city, in a neat and appropriate speech, a beautiful standard to the regiment, on yester day, which was received in a pertinent manner by Col. Tait: A large crowd was present to Witness the ceremony, and everything passed off 'pleasantly: The district ladies deserte great credit for their patriotism, and for their kindness in administering to the wants of the sick soldiers All honor to them. BY TRIG: / FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA SPIRITED ADVANCE OF THE * FEDERAL TROOPS. THE ENEMY ROUTED THE TOWN OF ROMNEY STORMED, -.- THIRTY-FIVE HEELS KILLED AND URGE NUMBER WOUNDED Gaerrozr, Va., Sept. 25 Five hundred of the Fourth Ohio regiment with one piece of artillery and the Ringgold cavalry, seventy-five in number, under Col. Cantwell, and four hundred of the' Eighth Ohio under Col. Harks, made an advance from New Creek on Monday towards Romney, and drove the enemy, seven hundred strong, out of Me chanicsville gap on the morning of the 24th, and advancing on Romney stormed the town, causing the enemy whose force numbered four teen hundred infantry and caviar* to retreat to the mountains, with lose of about thirty-five killed and a large number wounded, Our loss is three killed and ten ' wounded.

Pennsylvania 46th, was tried yesterday and found guilty of murder. He will be hung as soon as his sentence is confirmed by theauthori ties at Washington. The accomplished soldier and executive offi cer, Captain Robert Williams, .Assistant Adju tant General, attached to Gen. Banks' division, has accepted the command of a regiment of Massachusetts cavalry, six companies of which have already been raised and equipped. It is expected that he will leave here in about ten days. The latest advices from the upper Potomac state that Capt. Carnes, formerly of the rebel army, was at Dam No. 4 with a company of loyal Virginians performing picket duty. At Williamsport and Hagerstown our forces have been considerably strengthened on the Virginia side of the river from _Harper's Ferry. At dam No. 6 there were about 400 rebels of Henderson's, Rhinehardt's and Turner Ashby's corps. It is said that Capt. Henderson was re cently killed in Jefferson county by one of his privates, named Miller. There are about 600 foot soldiers in and around Martinsburg, but they were generally employed in taking up the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from Cpeqnan bridge to Duffield's atation,`a distance of twelve miles above Harper's Ferry. The rebels have ,succeeded •in carrying off three of the new locomotives, and were.engaged taking to pieces four others. The locomotives as well as the iron rails have been dropped at Stevenson's station,. the nearest point on the Harper's Ferry and Manchester Railroad. Noth ing had been done towards laying' the track from Manchester to Strasburg on the Manassas road, the reason given is that they have no cross-ties. • At Charlestown there were but two companies of militia, who, are being used.ss laborers.:At Winchester:there are from 8,000 to 4,000 mili tia, half clothed,, half shod and half starved. They also are being used as laborers. Their condition is deplorable in the extreme, and they perform the duties required of them with the greatest reluctance. Gen'l Johnson was at Lees Fauquier sulphur Springs, where he has been staying several - days for the benefit of his health. Of this fact there can be no doubt. rotter or Roos, Sept. 24.

The enemy were sheltered in the high point of Catoctin Mountain and in the houses at its base, but they were driven from every place by the battery and rifles of Colonel Geary's command. The houses were burnt to the ground, and whilst several of the enemy are known to have been killed and wounded, the Federal troops sustained no injury. The conflict there of the 16th inst., resulted in a rebel loss of eighteen killed—one shell alone from our battery killed eight secessionists. Not a day or night passes but bodies of the re bels make their appearance at some point on the secession side of the river, opposite Colonel Henry's line of guard, keeping his force in a constant state of bodily exercise. He only uses his artillery when he knows it will be effective. ERATO LATER FROM MISSOURI. Reported Attack on Lexington by Generals Slagle and Lane, HEAVY FIRING HEARD. Details of the Surrender of Lexington. THZ REBEL LOSS 1200 Special dispatches from Quincy reports by telegraph to-day that Gen. Seigel with a large force, and'also Gen's. Lane and Hunter had ar rived at Lexington and attacked Price. An officer in the employ of the Government heard heavy firing while passing Hamilton yesterday, and says that it was believed that Seigel had Price in the same position as Mulligan had been placed in. In regard to Gen. Hunter this can not be true, as he was at Rolla, two hundred and fifty miles from Lexington, on Saturday. From the reports of some of Mulligan's com mand who reached this tity last night, we learn the following, additional particulars : The men left •Lexington on Saturday atter tioon. Nearly two hours were occupied in fer rying them over the river. At three o'clock they started for Hamilton, forty miles distant, kinder the,guidance of several armed secession ists. The advance portion reachei Hamilton at sundown. At ten o'clock most of the party took the train for Quincy. Along the route to Hamilton they 'were in general kindly treated. All the money they could raise was employed to get "intone to carry the wounded, though all those 4everelrwerunded remained at Lexington. Only one commissioned officer, Lieut. Halli . hrone,. escaped. All account; agree that the re bel low of killed and dangerously wounded Is from nine to twelve hundred. The Quincy Whig states on the information of an intelligent member of Col. Marshall's regi ment, that a leading rebel surgeon conceded their loss at 1184. One hundred mounted and 001110 four , hundred horses of Col. Marshall's regiment were killed, it being impossible to shelter them from the enemy's cannon. After the surrender, many of the men killed their horses to prevent them from falling into the enemy's hands. A large sum of money, estimated at half a million dollars, half in Two, was secured by Price, after being buried bYtOl. Mulligan. FROM WASHINGTON. Gen, Fremont not to be Removed, flattering Prospects of the National Loan Several prominent citizens of Kentucky have arrived here within a day or two, and are now urging the Government to haste in crowd ing their State with hosts of loyal troops, so as to keep •Kentucky where she belongs—fast in the Union. The popularity of the patriotic loan is some thing wonderful. Reports from new agencies come in from all the loyal States with large, iresh subscriptions and indications of great in crease in the amounts already largo. The Gov iniinent also has from the Banks in the cities as tinkirznces that the fifty millions of the next in litalment of the loan will be promptly paid up. The President has fully decided not to inter feie with the course of General Prenont inkiis souri, at present. Interesting from Western Virginia. The following is an eatiact from a private letter received from Western Virginia yes terday : "Prams, BOONECOMITY, Va., Sept. 17, 1861. —The times are truly startling here. Death and destruction are laying everything low. I am in the midst of the battle field. The two contending armies are meeting occasionally, and do up their work to perfection. Our coun ty town, has been laid low by the Peyton & Home ,Guards and two companies of the United Stites army. During the engagement we killeAll.ll, and 7of our men wounded.
