SUBSISTENCE OF TSB PENNSYLVANIA
VOLUNTEARS.
Since.the breaking up of the comps of instrue ,
ton fox the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, estab
lished under the Act of 15th May, 1861, the
commonwealth has supplied subsistence only to
th e troops concentrated at Camp ()uitin. With
the sanction of Ckty. Curtin an a rrangement has
recently been 'effected lintweeif:Commissary
General W. W. Irwin and Capt. Du Barry, the
11. S. Commissary stationed in this city, under
which the Federal Goverment assumes the
subeistence . of the latter camp, in addition to
that of others through the state already Within
their charge. For the present, therefore,
the functions of the Pinnsylvania Commissairat
have ceased, Captain Du Barry announced
that his department could only receive the
troops as they were mustered into the service,
but Cominissary Irwin was anions to' effect
an arrangement by which all the troops, those
who were in camps for , instruction, those ar,
riving daily, and those Muttered into the
United States service; 'could be subsillted
alike by the Commissary, General! Department
of the U. S. Army. On referring the subject to,
the proper bureau iu the War Department, the
proposition of Gen. Trivia was adopted,. while .
the U. S. ,Commissary General also concluded
to subsist all, the troops thus received under the
contract already in operation for subsisting

Cameron. .This arrangement wig resolved - upon

of such a plan' , having been' adopted
by the Con miss'.: General's. Departmeitt at
Washington; had

also received bids from various Perrot's prom:

terms: These . bids, 'in consequence of this
order, ware transmitted to the Commissa ry Gene;si, who, in view of his order in regard to
subsisting all the troops under tbacontract al
ready in operation;: annulled ,the proposals
here referred to as having been asked for by an
officer of the Department in this city. 'The
old contractors are responsible` men—the bida
and the .ma n ner in which they subsist the camps
are both liberal and just, and 'therefore,. when
thus considered; there'was no necessity of mak

How the Rebels Boast and. Manage
The public have little conception of the wiles
and artifices which a powertut sad unscrupulous
foe will resort to carry out its purpose. The
rebel leaders have so much at state, and they
know so well the fate. that awaits them at the
hands of deceived millions if they fail, that they
resort to the most desperate expedients to ac
complish the "foreign recognition" they are
constantly promising
. !to their obedient white
slaves of the south.
A gentleman of this city had occasion recent
ly to visit Montreal, and while there; stopped
at the Donegan Hotel. He found the house
filled with jubilant secessionists, who loudly
boasted that ere long France and England would
recOgnize the Confederate government, and that
the recent increase of the English force in Ca
nada was a part of the proposed programme.
The gentleman in question, a prominent ' mer
chant, of this city, being a foreigner and speak
ing With'a slight 'aceent, heard more of their
plans than they would have been -willing to di
vulge to onearho was supposed to beta "Yankee
and Lincolnitb." To his surprise hefound that
a nephew of Beauregard's received letters from
the General every two days; addressed to the
'President of the Sank of Montreal.; others of
the same kink received 'letters with equal' regu
larity. He became well' acquainted with Gen.
Magruder, who, with hit; family,has passed into
Canada withoutthe slightestdifficalty. Tnere was
one mart there who was looked upon with sus
picion by the southerneni. When the New
Yorker reacheck`Rouse's 'Point' on his return,
this person politely informed hint : that he must
search him, as he seemed to have been intimate
with the southern rebels at , Montreal. This
official, if he hid 'kept a' bright" lookout pre
viously, might have discovered the `rebel Ma
gruder, who qinetiy . left the cars before they,
reached the Point , and, in company with an ex-
Governor of Rhode Island, rude off in alight
wagon. Our informant met Magruder in this
city, and says that he boasted that their Gen
erals knew every plan of our Cabinet, and no
power under heaven could' prevent them from
getting all the details they wished. The Gen
eral 'remarked with great' emphasis, "We have
our friends ircall thedepartments 'in Washing
ton, and we know how tolteep them there."
Our informer is a mturof decided intelligence,
and his statements are - worthy of trust. -He
gays that the' southerners in Montreal have
abundance of 'money ; they'hatee their Whines
with 'them, and they get all the hutinies they
want from thistity. They boast'that they can
Outbid the 'federal government in - Europe, and
that very large • advimed - have been made by
nominal British sympathisers, who long to see
the Republic torn up by the roots. They , in
stanced the case of the Bermuda as an evidence
of what they intended to do,. and said that the
successful entrant% of sucks vessel izito the port
of Savatinahhwas worth a, great victory on , the
field to them. Much of this is mere- boasting,
but it hits its effect.—Arew York Eivaing Post.
Improvement in Military Hospitals.

selecting sites for the erection of a number of
military hospitals in or near Washington.. Hoe

Ito these objects, and buildings erected for other
purposes will not answer for this purpose. The
hospital system has , -been greatly •improved. of
late years 'in Europe, and it is suppbsed that the`
Sanitary Committee,' having unlimited means,-
'will adopt a plan which will be suited to the
requirements of an army Of citizen soldiers,
most of whom have been , accustomed to the
comforts of home.
Army hospitals are either 'teniporary or pert

The Commercial has advices from Gen. Rosen-
Grans up to Saturday evening :
On Friday morning, at 8 o'clock, the enemy
opened fire with two guns from points Opposite
41 - iauley's Ferry and Camp Tompkins, and anoisy
tire of musketry. Their object was 'evidently
to cut off the supply trains. 'They mewed& in
sinking a ferry-boat on the' Gauley river, and
threw alxnit forty shells' into the caMp of the
Eleventh Ohio. Not one ofontmen*as killed,
and only about half a dozen were wounded.
The majority of the shells thrown by the' ene
my did not explode, and their musketry was
wild and irregular:
The ferry-boat; which had been mink by, the
enemy's shot on Friday, was raised that night,
and communication across the river restored.
There was no firing on Saturday on either
Bide. .
The position of the forces on Saturday even
ing was as follows :,
The rebels were in, - pessethdon of, the left or
west bank of New river. •
Gen. Schenck's brigade was alew miles above
the junction of Gaul6y and Ne* rivers, on the
east side of New river. •
Gen. C,oxe'll 'brigade and Gen. Roseerans'
headquarters were near . the junction of the
rivers, and between them, and Gen. Benham
Was below the junction, on the right bank of
the river. •
Floyd's force is believed to be about seven
thousand. •
It was believed in camp that Generals
b'chneck's and Benham's brigades world be
thrown across the liver above and bolow Floyd,
and catch him. .
The loss of telegraphic communication was
occasioned by- the alarm of the army operator,
Who, when the firing -opened, - sent a hasty de
spatch to Clarktibtikg, atitibuncing - the battle,
and then commenced to move his' office* the
Gauley. Re was two dr three miles up the
river, when he was overtakenby orders from
Gen. Roseemoti to and, while returning,
his wagon was driven over a preeipice, and the
telegraphic apparatus destroyed.
Floyd's denionstration was' rather agreeable
to Rosecrans than Otherwise •

Floyd's Army Surrounded and Re
pd3ed.
PROSPECT OF •
ITS CAPTURE
It appears from official statement that the
amount' a the - drafts upon the Treattret last
month was $10,500,000 of which $6,600,000
were drawn from New York. The unavoidable
bullion fund is $902,000. The total balance to
the credit of the United States Treasuryin the
States now under insurrectionary control is
stated at $6,600,000, and after making a deduc
Lion for the unavailable, gives the available
balance at $4,500,000..
An official telegram dated to-day states
Floyd's force at seven thousand, and that Ben
ham and Schneck'sbrigades were following him
on the newrmd.,,. The dispatch is extremely
hopefull of a b .bAT t victory, and the prospect
is cheering.
Another telegram from Cleveland, dated last
night, states that the Kenawha boat had just
passed Maysville, and reported that Botecrans
had repulsed Floyd, and at last accounts, Ben
ham and Schenk had gone in his rear, and it
was thought Floyd's force would be captured
by them.
