NEW YORK, April 23.—The steam tug Yankee
has arrived from Norfolk. 4he reports that on
arriving at Norfolk, on the afternoon of the
17th, finding that there was a movement on
foot to seize her, she proceeded to the Navy
Yard, and took protection under the guns of
the battery. On the 18th, the Custom House
officers of the State came to seize the Yankee,
but the commodore refused to yield her up,
saying that if they attempted to take her by
force he would blow her out of water before
they could reach Norfolk. This quieted the
mob who had congregated.
The Yankee took the Cumberland in tow for
Fortress Monroe. On the way she grounded
on Orris Island, and the Yankee was two hours
getting her off.
The Secessionists observing the escape of the
Cumberland commenced obstructing the chan
nel below her. After towing the frigate, the
Yankee proceeded to New York.
The Pawnee left Wtuhingron lest Friday
night with an extra detachment of officers, men
and marines, with flag officer Paulding on
board, and proceeded to Fortress Monroe, where
she received the 3d Massachusetts regiment,
just arrived hence to the Navy Yard at Gos
port.
It was found at Gosport that the officers in
charge had commenced destroying the public
property, finding it would fall into the hands
of the enemy. They had scuttled all the
ships. The Cumberland being the only ship in
commission, cut down the shears, and rendered
most of the other property useless.
The object of the rioters having been par
tially frustrated by the scuttling of the ships,
it was intended that the'Federal forces should
leave. Preparations were made to render the
demolition complete, to blow up the dock, and
burn the property, all things to be ready at
dayl ght.
The Pawnee, with the Cumberland in tow,
assisted by the - Yankee, started, and after
passing the Navy Yard, sent up a rocket—a
preconcerted signal to apply the match—and,
in an instant, ships, ship houses and store
houses were in fiamss.
Large quantities of provisions, cordage and
machinery were also destroyed, besides build
ings of great value, but it is not positively
known that the dock was blown up.
The burning of the Navy Yard at Norfolk
was done by the Union men, who are in a ma
jority but comparatively unarmed. The Cum
berland was 60 short of her complement.—
When the Pawnee came up to the Navy Yard,
both the Cumberland and Merrimac lay broad
side to her with guns loaded, thinking she was
-in the heitea ef -the Seoeseionistos. On board
the Pawnee an opinion prevailed that a similar
state of affairs existed on board those-ships,
and the crew were ready accordingly.
So rapid was the progress of the conflagra
tion that Commodore Rogers, of the Navy, and
Captain Wright, of the Engineers, were unable
to reach the point of rendezvous, where the
boat was in waiting, and were necessarily left.
behind.
Among the most valuable property destroyed
were the line-of-battle ship New York, on the
stocks ; Merrimac, first class screw; German
town, sloop-of- war, just ready for sea; Ply
mouth and Dolphin, brigs; also, the ship of the
line Pennsylvania, and Columbia and Potomac,
frigates; Columbus and Delaware, liners, all
of the last named being hulks and nearly
wrrthless.
When the Cumberland hailed—“ What steamer
is that ?" the answer was, the 11. S. steamer
Pawnee. The cheering on board the vessel
and on shore told how satisfactory this reply
was.
The Union men employed in the Navy Yard
cut down the flag. staff, so it could not be used
by the enemy.
The guns in the Navy Yard and at St. Helena
were spiked.
The steam-tug Yankee reports that the. Paw
nee and Keystone State lett Norfolk for Wash•
ington, with the marines from the barracks and
the crew of the Pennsylvania, and would be
due there this morning.
IMPORTANT FROM ANAPOLIS—GOY. HICKS IN
COMMAND OF MARYLAND TROOPS—RAILROAD
ENGINES DISABLED—RESIGNATIONS AT NA
VAL INSTITUTE—RAILROAD TRACK DE
STROYED.
The following intelligence is from Anapolis
under date of Monday afternoon last. It was
furnished to the Baltimore American:
Considerable excitement was occasioned in
this city last evening by the announcement.
that the Massachusetts Regiment, in c”mniand
of Gen. B. F. Bailer, and the New York Seventh
Regiment., had landed at Anapolis, and that
there was quite a large military force in at
tendance to resist their passage overland to
Washington.
We learn from a gentleman who was at the
Junction at 3 o'clock. and had a conversation
over the wires from that point with the opera
tor at Anapolis. that the troops Lad all landed
and commenced their march, and that. theroad
was lined with Marylanders prepared to dis
pute their passage over Maryland soil. Gov
ernor Hicks had taken command of the Mary
land troops hastily assembled, and his force
was said to amount to nearly 2000 efficient
skirmitliers.
The distance by way of the Patuxent is said
to be but little over twenty miles to Washing
ton, but. the road is sandy and bad for travel.
The rails on the Anapolis branch were torn up,
and all use of the road to make a connection
in that way prevented. There was a company
of about sixty muskets at the Junction await
ing to receive them if they should move in that
direction.
The schooner Cordelia. Capt. Newkirk, which
reached this port. yesterday afternoon from
Segue l,•t Grand, reports off Anapolis, at six
o'clock the morning, the steamer Boston,
from Philadelphia', crowded with people, sup

hid torn up the Anapolis railroad to a consid
erable extent.
Yesterday afternoon the steamer Pioneer
reached hi re from Anapolis, and reports lying
off that place the steamer Boston, having on
board a large number of troops. She is a
large aide wheel steamer. and exceedingly fait.
Passengers on board the Pioneer report. that
they passed near the steamer Mar)la d, on
which was the Seventh regiment of New York.
Some of the companies were drilling on the
spacious upper deck, whilst the men below
were cheering.
The following dispatch was received from
Anapolis yesterday morning:
ANATOL'S, April 21.—Noon.—The United
States Input Ounstitutien and steamer Mary-
land are now anchored off the harbor. Col.
Butler has 1,500 of the 1,800 Massachusetts
troops under his command on board the Con
stitution. They are armed with Minie muskets,
cutlasses and revolvers. Four field pieces
were on the Maryland's decks. Before the
Constitution was towed out it was apprehended
she would ground. The officers of the Elk
Ridge railroad disabled their engines, while
the citizens were ready to tear up the track
in order to prevent Colonel Butler from using
it.
When the Constitution left her wharf, the
gatee of the yard were thrown open, and the
citizens entered, the yard presenting a warlike
appearance. Small boys were marching about
with sabres and revolvers at their sides, and
every face presented a solemn and revengeful
cast.
The Constitution is commanded by Capt.
Rogers. of New York.
Mr. H. Harrison, one of the Professors, ap
peared in citizen's dress, and will resign to
morrow. Lieutenants Buckner, Davidson and
two others will resign on Monay. Twenty
two midshipmen resigned yesterday, and will
leave for their homes on Tuesday.
Two special trains arrived yesterday with
messages for the Governor. The last one left
at 11 o'clock, P. M., and run off the tack on
the Washington road. All was private in refer
ence to the object. of the trains, and it is im
possible to learn whether they were from Bal
timore or Washington. The °overt* goes
this evening to chartnr the steam tug Merchant.,
and to•night his family will leave for his farm
in Dorchester county.
The city, by order of the Mayor, will be pa

This evening the officers of the AnapOlis and
Elk Ridge railroad company sent out a Iburden
train, and took up the track fora considerable
distance, in order that the road may not be
used by any troops that may hereafter arrive.
The telegraph office at the AnapolisJUnction
was not taken possession of by t ne Gcivernment,

MARYLAND AND THE TROOPS FOR THE DAPITAL
—HIGHLY I?deORTANT LETTER PROM. MORE-
TAM( spvAav
The following letter was addressed, on Mon
day, to Governor Hicks, of Maryland, by the
Secretary of State:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, April 22, 1861.
His Excellency Thomas H. Eiphs, Governor of
Maryland :—Sir : I have had like honor to re
ceive your communication of this morning, in
which you informed me that you have felt it to
be your duty to advise the President of the
United States to order elsewhere the troops off
Anapolis, and also that no more be sent through
Maryland ; and that you have further suggested
that Lord Lyons be requested to act as media
tor between the contending parties in our coun
try to prevent the effusion of blood.
The President directs me to acknowledge the
receipt of that communication, and to assure
you that be has weighed the counsels which it
contains with the respect which he habitually
cherishes for the Chief Magistrates of the sev
eral States, and especially for yourself. He
regrets, as deeply as any magistrate or citizen
of the country can, that demonstrations against
the safety of the ;United States, with very ex
tensive preprations for the effusion of blood,
have made it his duty to call out the force to
which you allude.
The force now sought to be brought through
Maryland is intended for nothing but the de
fence of this capital. The President has ne
cessarily confided the choice of the national
highway which that force shall take in coming
to this city to the Lieutenant General com
manding the army of the United States, who,
like his only predecessor, is not less distin
guished for his humanity than for his loyalty,
patriotism, and distinguished public service.
The President instructs me to add that the
national highway thus selected by the Lieute
nant General has_ been chosen by him, upon
consultation with prominent magistrates and
citizens of Maryland ; ns the one which, while a
route is absolutely necessary, is further re
moved from the populous cities of the State, and
with the expectation that it would therefore be
the least objectionable one.
The President cannot but remember that
there has been a time in the history of our
country when a General of the American Union,
with forces designed for the defence of its
capital, was not unwelcome anywhere in the
Sty te of Maryland, and certainly not at Annap
olis, then, as now, the capital of that patriotic
State, and then, also, one of the capitals of the
Union.
If eighty years could have obliterated all the
other noble sentiments of that age in Mary
land, the President would be hopeful, never
theless, that there is one that would forever
remain there and everywhere. That sentiment
is that no domestic contention whatever, that
may arise among the parties of this Republic,
ought in any case to be referred to any foreign
arbitrament, least of all to the arbitrament of
an European Monarchy.
I have the honor to be, with distinguished
consideration, your Excellency's most obedient
servant, WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
MISSOURI AFFAIRS
INDEPENDENCE. MO 5 April 23.—There are
ten companies organized in this county, pro
vided to act in any emergency that may arise.
Three companies have been formed in this city,
besides one artillery company. The arming of
the people is intended for home protection.—
They aredisposed to maintain friendly relations
with their neighhors, but are prepared to meet
them in hostile array if invaded., It is thought
that twenty thousand men will soon be enrolled
in Upper Missouri, for the defence of their soil
against all invaders.
1 4 F5XINGTON, April 23.—Between two and
three hunderd Union men assembled in the
Third ward yesterday afternoon and raised the
Stars and Stripes and expressed their determi
nation to stand by them to the last. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Field, Crittenden, Cooley,
and others. The most unbounded enthusiasm
prevailed, and the speakers were greeted with
great applause. A large and enthusiastic se
cession meeting was held in the county on Sat
urday, which was addressed by Samuel H.
Woodson, Dr. Garden, and others. The reso
lutions thanked'Gov. Jackson for his manly
response to the President's call for troops. Six
military companies are already formed in the
county, several being one hundred strong. The
old Union flag was hoisted in the old town, but
was soon torn down.

From the North American.
It is greatly to be feared that the raw troops
we are hurrying forward to the seat of war are
not likely, from the condition they are in, to
reflect much credit upon their State or prove
very serviceable as soldiers. At Camp Curtin,
near Harrisburg, we are told by a gentleman
who has just returned from there, all is disor
ganization, and the gathering has more the
appearance of a mob than an army. If the
country companies and regiments which have
passed through Philadelphia may serve as fair
specimens we should judge this report to be
true. After midnight on Monday they fired off
guns as they marched through the streets of
our city. We saw several companies. They
had arrived in the city during the night, and
had had nothing to eat since leaving Harris
burg. When we saw them they were discon-.
tented, insubordinate, and swearing at the city,
their officers and everything else. They had
each man a loaf of bread stuck on his bayonet,
that being the only way they could carry their
next meal, as they hadlio knapsacks. A blanket
was slashed around the body, and some had
what seemed like a satchel hung at the side,
which we took to be either a pouch for cart
ridges or a place to put a ration of meat. Oth
ers had no cartridge pouch at all, and on being
asked pulled their cartridges out of their pock
ets, which seemed to be stuffed full of them.
One man told us that he had been furnished
With no ration since he left his home in Hunt-
ingdon.
A number of companies from Schuylkill
looked as though taken fresh from the mines,
hands and faces being blacked with coal dust.
Indeed, all of them might be regarded fairly as
the great unwashed, whether coming from
Schuylkill or anywhere else. As for uniform;
we did not see the slightest . pretence at it among
any of these men. One German company bad
not even arms. Several companies had no
drummers, and there was one regiment so com
pletely disorganized that the men could not
tell the names of any of their officers: except
the Colonel. Inquiries for the quartermaster
seemed to be fruitless, as there appeared to be
none, and yet there were over six hundred men
in this regiment, commanded, too, by a member
of the Legislature.
There seems to be no lack of men anywhere
in Pennsylvania. The glorious old Keystone
comes up with countless thousands. One cap
tain went to the Secretary of the Common
wealth; at Harrisburg, Mr. Slifer, and wished.
his company to be accepted. He had marched
them to Camp Curtin all the way from a re
mote rural district, without orders and without
being previously ac epted. Col. Slifer told him
it was impossible, as he could not furnish arms
for all. The response was that he did noCwant
arms, as the men already had them, Minnie
muskets, too. The neat objection was that if
they were accepted the State would have to
maintain them, and there were already more
than enough men. The patriotic captain, re-.
plied that they could maintain themselves, as
they bad brought the money with them to do
so. Put to his wit's end by these responses,
the Secretary asked how many men there were
in the company. Sixty-eight said the captain.
That is not enough, urged the Secretary ; you
should have seventy-two. So we have with
the officers, peristed the captain. But you
should have seventy-two without the officers,
said Slifer. Well now, said the captain, you
see our village is small, and when this company
was formed it took every man who could be
spared. If we had taken four more that would
have given us just half of all the men in the'
village. Either you give us four men from
some of the full companies, or take us as we
are. Against such patriotism as this there
was no argument to be urged, and the company
was accepted. This is the sort of material of '
which the regiments of the interior are formed.
In most cases they are totalkt ignorant of
the organization of battalions, regiments and
brigades, and we fear very much that. half of
them have not proper regimental officers to
provide for their wants. We are aware of the
difficulties surrounding so great a task as the
uniforming, arming and provisioning of such
masses ; but it is surprising that no adequate
arrangements have been made here to-supply
these poor fellows with food or quarters. On
Monday night, a company from the interior, in
a famished state, excited the commiseration of
Lieut. Paullen, of the Seventh ward police, so
that he took up a subscription among the spec
tators and raised about forty dollars,•.witie
which a good meal was given to every man.—
A regiment from western Pennsylvania, raw,
rough, famished and clamorous, marched into
the Continental Hotel at midnight and ordered
supper. The servants were all abed, no food.
was cooked and no orders had been received to
feed these men. Nevertheless, the humane
proprietors of the hotel hurriedly got together
ham, bread, etc., with a view of sending it to
railroad depot, whither the men were to be
marched. Scarcely had these provisions made
their appearance when they were seized and.
divided out among the starving multitude. of
soldiers, each man taking a ham, a sausage, a
loaf of bread, or whatever else he could lay
hands on.
When we saw the state of these men, we
Could not help appreciating the wisdom of the
decision of Major General Patterson, when he
announced that the men of his division should
not march until they were properly provided
for. Our men are stalwart fellows, full of
fight. ; but Philadelphia will not take up the
line of march again to behelplessly slaughtered.
Col L.wis' regiment paraded yesterday. It is
very strong in numbers, and the men are gen
erally stout, well made, muscular and soldierly.
If they had unifo;ms and accoutrements, they
would he as formidable a body of soldiers as
any regiment in the field. But no one feels
as much like a soldier when out, of uniform as
he does when in it. There is a pride in the
cloth which is no mean part of the epirit of an
army. Pennsylvania owes it to herself to
have all her men uniformed, and well armed
and accoutred, as well those who have already
gone as those now here.'
We have abundance of money, credit and
working capacity to do this, and w•e trust it
may be done promptly. The shocking want of
organization of regiments and brig•tdt s, and the
absence of discipline and competent office's, we
must confess, surprised us very greatly. Uni
forms canuot supply such things. Our city
troops are being thoroughly officered and
trained, and in Generals Patterson and Cad
wallader they have capable and ell erienced
chiefs. But what is the matter with the field
officers who have charge of the troops from the
interior? They have either done nothing or
the work is too much for them. There is
something more serious on hand now thaw
mere holiday parades. The task of moulding
these raw hodi. s into perfectly trained soldiers
is one calculated to call forth the energies of
even the most experienced officers. We do not
mean to censure anybody at this time, but it is
painfully evident that there is a great and.
grievous neglect somewhere. It is nut too late
to remedy it, and we therefore earnestly urge
upon the Governor of the Commonwealth to
call the generals and regimental officers to ac
count for the lack of discipline and organiza
tion, and the quartermasters and commissary
generals for the deficiency of clothing, aeon
trements and provisions.
NEGLECT SOME WHERE.
