ARRIVAL OF Anms.—An immense number of
arms and munitions of war arrived at a late boor
on Wednesday night, and were immediately taken
to the Arsenal for safe keeping, for Which purpose
five teams were employed all night. The Arsenal
is now guarded—sentinels being posted all around
it.
Tem VERBEKEEs.—The ranks of this com
pany is now fulL It was organized last evening,
and the following officers elected: Captain, John
Nevin; First Lieutenant, H. C. Alleman ; Second
Lieutenant, Henry Lyne ; Orderly Sergeant, Dan
iel Grover; Second Sergeant, Thomas Humes ;
Third Sergeant, Daniel Basehore ; Fourth Ser
geant, Samuel Wolf.
Fox Axoxe Tex SOLDIERS .—The Pittsburg sol
diers quartered in the Capitol yesterday morning
amused themselves by organizing both branches
of the Legislature and passing sundry important
laws. They repealed the tonnage tax, and voted
a large appropriation of money to the Pittsburg
companies—say several millions. If the Governor
should happen to sign the bills, some .of them will
make a nice thing out of the war. Among the
troops were several ex-members of the Legislature.
IRON RAILROAD Comas.—The New York Central
Railroad Company intend to introduce iron freight
cars quite extensively, we infer, from the fact that
such are being made at Davidson's factory in Al
bany, on Saturday, and more will soon follow.
A recent accident at a drawbridge in New Jer
sey has demonstrated that iron passenger cars are
of great utility in protecting human life at the
time of disasters. An *en car thrown into the
river was but sligl damaged , and preserved all
il t
the passengers, wh was conceded by all pre
sent that a wooden car, under similar circumstan
ces, would have been broken into fragments, and
left the passengers in twenty feet of water, to get
out the beat way they could, or perish in the wreck.
Just so in collisions; the iron cars will break the
force of the shock by yielding, and yet they cannot
be as readily crushed and broken into those
splinters and fragments which are sometimes so
very murderous.
Tw Holm Guano.—A Few Suggestion—A
large number of persons have enrolled themselves
as a Home Guard, but up to this time it exists
only in name. To render it effective, and enable
it to carry out the objects for which it is intended,
it should be at once organized. 'We understand
the Mayor has made a requisition upon the Gov
ernor for two hundred muskets, and it is likely
that they will be furnished at an early day. The
Guard should then not only take an early oppor
tunity to learn how to use them, but should also
perfect itself in marching, drilling, &c. Of course
the entire force would be too large to manoeuvre
together. The city should therefore be districted,
and the head-quarters of companies should be at
the Ward school houses, where there should be
squad drills every evening, say'between six and
seven o'clock, and a general parade in State street
every Saturday evening at 5 o'clock. If we have
a Home Guard, it is neeesaapy to put it in shape
by discipline at once, or we might as well have
none at all.
NEW ARRIVAL! NEW ARRIVAL !—Just received
a large assortment of new spring goods. We name
is part, 10 pieces of beautiful Challiee, 121, worth
181; 10 nieces of Traveling Dress Goods, at 8,
Worth 121; 50 pieces of bleached and unbleached
1 0 1 Worth 121; 50 pieces of bleached Mus
lin, 121, worth 15; also, a very large stock of
Cassimeres and other summer stuff for men and
boys' wear. Stella. Shawls very cheap. Broche
Bordering, at 25,37 and 5U dB.; also, a large stock
of Cambrics and Swiss Muslin. Please call and
examine at S. Lewes,
at Rhoads' Old Corner,
Corner of Market aril Second streets.

Tax RESERVOIR.—There is reason to apprehend
that a majority of our City Commissioners design
permanently locating our reservoir on what is
known as Allison's Hill, which would certainly be
a cardinal error. A competent engineer bag esti
mated that it would cost $200,000 more to remove
our basin to Allison's land, than it would to re
construct one on Geiger's land, at the corner of
Ridge and Hospital roads. I only speak from re
collection, but think the 'latter place is represented
as being about 20 feet higher than the present ba
sin, sufficiently elevated for all ordinary purposes,
and free from the impureties of the drippings of
' West Harrisburg, as we would tap the river at the
junction of the Hospital road and Susquehanna.—
In addition to the immense increase in coat of-con
structing water-works and basin on Allison's Hill,
is the immense power which would be required to
force up the water, and the high priced pipes to
distribute it through town; tenants would be bur
dened with' increased rents, and our property hold
ers with taxes, and the growth of the city retarded.
The knowing ones assert that we could realize
sufficient from the sale of the land on which our
present basin is located, to defray the expense of
putting up the water-works and basin on the Gei
ger lot, and it is known that Major Unger would
be reasonable in pressing his claim for damages.
Our city is moving out the Ridge avenue, and in a
score of years we will probably have a larger pop
ulation above the Ward House requiring water,
than we will find on Allison's and the adjacent
territory in the next century. The land between
the river and Pennsylvania Railroad is the natu
ral location of a large city at a future day. It is
&Amide the people should apeo.k out on this sub
ject.
ARRIVAL OF TROOPS FROM WESTERN PENNSTLVA-
Nte.—The following troops, under the command
of Gen. J. S. Negley, arrived in this city between

They left Pittsburg in a special train, on
Wednesday, at 10 o'clock, and were handsomely
treated at every stopping place along the line of
the railroad.
These troops are all armed, equipped, uniformed
and prepared for actual service. So far as military
appearance is concerned, they are far ahead of any
body that has yet arrived here.
The commissioned officers visited Governor Cur
tin in a body at 10 o'clock yesterday, and were
cordially received by him.
It is not known when they will be ordered off;
but, armed and disciplined as they are, they will
not be required to db camp duty here. They were
sworn and mustered into service at an early hour
in the morning.
Since writing the above, the Tenth Regiment
was formed out of the above companies, with the
following officers: Col. David Campbell, of Pitts
burg; Lieut. Col. Norton M'Giffen, of Washington
county; Major Alex. Hays, of Pittsburg. The com
pany took up the line of march for the railroad at
4 o'clock, and about 5 left for York.
The Eleventh Regiment will take in the remain
der of the above companies, and will be organized
this morning with the following officers: Colonel
Thomas Rowley, of Pittsburg; Lieut. CoL John N.
Purviance, of Butler; Maj. J.-M. Kincaid, of Pitts
burg.
THE GRAND JURY:—This body was discharged
yesterday morning, after having acted upon a
large number of bills of little or no real impor
tance to the people at large. Previous to their
discharge they made the following reports to the
court:
To the Honorable Judges of the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Dauphin County :
The undersigned members of the Grand Jury of
Dauphin county, recommend to the county com
missioners the appropriation of TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS out of the county funds, or if necessary
to create a loan for that purpose, for the support
and maintenance of the families of such of our
citizens who have volunteered or who may here
after volunteer during the present war. Provided,
That no part of said sum of money shall be used
until the Court shall be satisfied that the same is.
absolutely needed, and that when said money or
any part of the same shall be so used, it shall be
disbursed under the directions and supervision of
three disinterested persons to be appointed for that
purpose by the Court.
J. P. Rutherford, Foreman; George Hiney, Dan
iel Heckert, Edward Fry, George Stauffer, Henry
Garman,. Michael Rudy, Samuel Keiper, George
Rodfong, John. H. Weaver, Joseph Nisley, Daniel
Strominger, P. Beruheisel, jr., Peter Heckert,
William Bush, Benj. F. Wickert, Nathaniel Rau,
B. R. Buffington, W. H. Shorver, David Ricker.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quar
ter Sessions of the County of Dauphin:
We, the Grand Inquest of the County of Dau
phin, do respectfully represent that we have vis
ited the County Prison.
That we have found everything to be in good
order, and, as a general thing, the prisoners have
entered no complaint of either want of sufficient
food or proper care and attention under the man
agement of Mr. John It. Boyd.
That we have passed upon a great number of
eases, many of which were of a trifling, frivolous
character, and which we were obliged to return
ignoramus from a want of the proper attendance of
witnesses. And would respectfully urge upon the
Court the adoption of some efficient mode compel
ling witnesses to attend upon the Grand Inquest
hereafter. We have also found cause to censure
justices of the peace for permitting so many of
those trifling cases to appear before Court, and re
gretted our inability to compel them to pay the
costs in such cases.
All of which is respectfully submitted, &c.,
J. P. RUTHERFORD, Foreman.
Bovonerts' EXEMPTION.—Those who desire to
serve their country will see that their families and
property are fully protected by the annexed sec
tion of the Pennsylvania act of 1822:
"No execution or other process shall issue
against any officer, non-commissioned officer - or
private of the militia, when called into actual ser
vice, under a requisition of the President of the
"United States, or in pursuance of the orders of the
governor of this Commonwealth ; nor shall any
such process issue against him until thirty days
after he shall have returned from duty, to his usual
place of residence, or until forty days after be shall
have been discharged; and the court, aldermen
or justice of the peace from which or from whom
any such process shall have issued, shall quash
the same, as soon as the fact of any such person
being ordered on public duty shall have been pro
ven, and all the costs which shall have accrued in
commencing or conducting any such process shall
be paid by the person or persons who shall have
applied for the said execution or other process."
DISCONTINUED.—The Mountain Oa°, printed at
Johnstown, has been discontinued until after the
war. We infer from the article announcing the
fact, that Capt. Smith is in for the campaign. As
he saw the Mexican elephant, he is amply pre
pared to take a look at the Confederate animal.
Two COMPANIES PROM LOCK HAVEN.—Yesterday,
at noon, two fall companies arrived from Lock
Haven, Clinton county. One of them was in com
mand of our old friend, James L- Hemphill, who
informed as that two more companies were ready
in Clinton, and awaiting orders.
FLAG RAISING.-A flag will be raised on the Lan
casterian School House between 1 and 3 o'clock on
Saturday. The Star Spangled Banner will be sung
in grand chorus by the scholars, under the direc
tion of Mr. Tat-button. . Let there be a general
turn-out of the patriotic.
THE ENTIRE Foncis.—Up to Wednesday evening
104 full companies had been sworn in by Captain
Simmons. Up to 5 o'clock last evening 20 more
arrived, making a grand total of 124 companies,
and 0,558 rank and filo. It is just nine days since
the Srst company arrived. Can any country in
the world raise such an army at such short notice?
Even as we-write, twice this number have offered,
and are only awaiting orders to macrh.
MR. DOUGLAS ON THE REBELLION.
SPEECH AT BELAIR, OHIO, OPPOSITE
WHEELLNG.
From the Wheeling Intelligeneer of April 22d
Senator Douglas arrived at Belair yesterday
morning, just from Washington, and the train
on which he came out having missed a con
nection he was compelled to lay over there all
day. No sooner was it known that the distin
guished Senator was there than the town be
came all alive with excitement, and nothing
would satisfy the enthusiastic crowd but a
speech from the " Little Giant." Accordingly,
about half past three o'clock a crowd of all the
citizens, and a large delegation from this city,
and hundreds from the surrounding country,
gathered in front of the La Belle House, where
Mr. Douglas was stopping. We never saw a
crowd of the same number of people so full of
enthusiasm. They cheered the Union and
Major Anderson, the stars and stripes, and eve
rything and everybody else that happened to
suggest itself. When the hour arrived for the
appearance of Mr. Douglas, they began to
cheer and yell for him, and his appearance on
the balcony was the signal for a tremendous
outburst of applause. When this bad subsided,
Mr. Douglas said:
"Gentlemen It is gratifying to me and my
sense of patriotism to find the people on both
&des of this beautiful river giving their cheers
and their hearts in behalf of the flag of our
country. (Great applause.) I trust the time
never is coming when that flag will not wave
as the emblem of peace and union, and of con
stitutional liberty forever, both in the South
and in the North of this Ohio river. We in the
Northwest of this great valley can never recog
nize either the propriety or the right of States
bordering along upon the Gulf of Mexico and
upon the Atlantic Ocean, or upon the Pacific,
to separate from the Union of our fathers, and
establish and erect tax gatherers and custom
houses upon our commerce .in its passage to
the Gulf or the Ocean. If we recognize the
right in one case we give our assent to it in all
cases ; and if the few States upon the Gulf now
are to separate themselves frow us and erect a
barrier across the mouth of that great river, of
which the Ohio is a tributary, how long will it
be before New York may come to the conclusion
that she may set up for herself and levy taxes
upon every dollar's worth of goods imported
and consumed in the Northwest., and taxes upon
every bushel of wheat and every pound of pork
and beef, or other productions that may be sent
from the Northwest to the Atlantic in search
of a market? The very existence of the peo
ple in this great valley depends upon maintain
ing inviolate and forever that great right
secured by the Constitution of Freedom of
Trade, of Transit, and of Commerce, from the
centre of the continent to the ocean that sur
rounds it. This right can never be surren
dered (voices in the crowd, "never;") our very
existence dependslipon maintaining it.
"The proposition now is, to separate these
United States into little, petty Confederacies.
First, divide them into two ; and then, - when
either party gets beaten at the next election,
sub-divide again; (laughter, and "never; ") .
then, whenever ona gets beat again, another
sub-division ; and then, when you beat on
Governor's election, the discomfitted will rebel
again, and so it will go on. And if this new
system of resistance by the sword and bayonet,
to the results of the ballot box, shall prevail
here in this country of ours, the history of the
United States is already written in the history
of Mexico.
" It is a curious fact—a startling fact, and
one that no American citizen should ever mis
apprehend—that from the day that Mexico
separated from Spain, down to this hour, no
Pretident of her's elected by the people, has
ever been inaugurated and served his term of
office. In every single case, from 1820 down
to 1861, either the defeated candidate has
seized possession of the office by military force,
or has turned out the successful man before
his term expired. What is more significant?
Mexico is now a by-word for every man to
scoff at. No man would deem himself treated
as a gentleman who was represented as a Mexi
can. Why ? Because he cannot maintain his
Government founded upon the great principles
of self-government and constitutional liberty
—because he won't abide by the ballot-box—
because he is not willing to redress grievances
inside of the Constitution, and in obedience to
its provisions, instead of seizing the bayonet
and the sword to resist the constituted authori
ties.
" It is not a question of Union or disunion.
It is a question of order; of the stability of the
Government ; of the peace of communities.
The whole social system is ,threatened with
destruction and disruption. I cannot now go
into a discussion of these questions. I have
almost exhausted strength, and voice, and life,
in the last two years, in my efforts to point out
the dangers upon which we were rushing.
" And we have no time now to stop to enquire
as to the causes of these mischiefs, nor as to
the merits or foibles of sects or parties. Unite
as a band of brothers, and rescue your Gov
ernment and its Capital, and your country,
from the enemy who have been the authors of
your calamity. (Tremendous cheers, and
cries of " We will"—" That's what we are go
ing to do.")
" My friends, I should not have been de
lighted at meeting the same number of people,
nor even ten times the number, animated by
the patriotism that I find in all of you, at
scarcely any other place as much as on the
very spot where I am now standing, upon the
borders of this beautiful river, separating the
State of Virginia from the State of Ohio ; and
yet instead of being a barrier it is one of those
great arteries that infuses its life and vigor into
both sides and binds you together in one indis
soluble system. This great valley must never
be divided. ("Never, never!") The Almighty
has so arranged the mountain and the plain
and water courses, as to show that it is His
will and design that this valley in all time shall
remain one and indissoluble. Let no man at
tempt to sunder what Divine Providence has
rendered indivisible. ("Amen," and cheers.)
The nerves of this great valley centre in unity.
We are bound to have the right of travel, o f in
tercourse, of transit free to all the ports of the
Atlantic, and to all the ports of the Pacific and
the Gulf of Mexico, without having custom
houses or passports or tax-gatherers or bayo
nets to impede us
"You can all see the results of the influen
ces which have been operating within the last
few weeks for the breaking down of the harri
ers that protect freedom and liberty. Those
before me Iho are natives of the continent of
Europe know what the barriers of the pasiport
system are. Every few hours, stop"—with
the bayonet at your breast—" passport if y ou
please." Men living on different sides of the
river, though neighbors or brothers ' could not
visit each other without permission from their
superior. You have a horse on one side of the
river worth a hundred dollars, and you want
to send it to a neighbor, but you will not be
allowed to do it unless you pay another hun
dred for permission to do it. (Laughter.) And
here we are to have custom houses and bayonets
guarding every State line, every railroad track,
every gorge in the mountains, every bank of a
river, demanding the payment of duties on
every pound of tea,. or coffee, or sugar that
crosses the line, and for every article of cloth
ing your people wear, and then for every
bushel of wheat and corn, and every pound of
pork or beef you sell in payment of these.
"Beginning with Illinois, they are to be
taxed on the Indiana line, and again on the
Ohio line, and again on the Missouri line, and
on the Maryland line, and on the line of every
petty or big State you may 'have to cross.—
Just look what Germany was a few years ago,
before her free trade was established. and you
will find what America will soon be if you do
not rally to the flag of your country and alien
ate these distracted elements, and restore peace
and fraternal feeling, and constitutional gov-.
ernment on the basis our fathers established
it.
"My friends, I will not detain you. I did
not intend, when I came here, to utter a word,
but when I found so many of my fellow-citizens
coming here—so many from Virginia—so many
from a distance to pay, as it were, respects to
me, I could not resist the inclination to respond
to the call to speak to you; for I have too much
patriotism and sense of the circumstances that
brought you together to believe for a moment
that it is intended as a personal compliment.
It is a testimonial of your devotion to the
Union of these States, and
.to the flag of our
country. It is a testimonial that you think I
have done my duty in my efforts to preserve
them. (Cheers.)
"I thank you sincerely and from the bottom
of my heart, for this kind reception, I trust I
miy again meet you here on the bank of
this river, from both sides, as brethren and
countrymen, as long as God's providence allows
me to pass from the prairies of Illinois to the
Capital of the country."
Mr. Douglas concluded and retired amid
vociferous and prolonged cheering. After
some very inspiring music by the Belair Brass
Band, which graced the occasion, Jas. R. Mor
ris, Esq., being loudly called for, came forward,
and made the crowd a very excellent and fer
vent little Union speech. He was followed
after an interval by Rev. Wm. Grimes, of Cadiz,
Ohio.
Subsequently, Mr. Douglas came out on the
balcony, and said:
"Gentlemen, I have been requested by so
many different ones to make a statement in
response to the inquiries that are propounded
to me, that I do so as a matter of justice to an
eminent patriot.
"I have been asked whether there is any
truth in the rumor'that Gen. Scott was about
to retire from the American army. It is almost
profanity to ask that question. (4 Good, good,'
and three cheers for Gen.. Scott.) I saw him
only last Saturday. He was at hiedesk, pen
in hand, writing his orders for the defence and
safety of the American Capital. (Cheers.)—
Walking down the street I meta distinguished
gentleman, a member of the Virginia Conven
tion, whom I know personally, and had a few
minutes' conversation with him. He told me
he had just had an interview with Lieut. Gen.
Scott ; that he was chairman of the committee
appointed by the Virginia Convention to wait
upon Gen. Scott, and tender him the command
of the forces of Virginia in this struggle.
" Gen. Scott received him kindly, listened to
him patiently, and said to him : ' I have served
my country under the flag of the Union, for
more than fifty years, and as long as God per
mits me to live, I will defend that flag with my
sword ; even if my own native State assails it.'
(Tremendous. applause, and three more cheers
for Gen. Scott.) I do not pretend that lam
precisely accurate in the language used, but I
know I am in the idea, and I have given the
language as nearly as I could repeat it. I have
felt it due to him and to the country, to make
this statement, in • view of the reports that have
been circulated and the repeated inquiries
made of me since my arrival here to-day."
Mr. Douglas retired amid applause, followed
by three, cheers for the Union.
He took the 5 o'clock train yesterday eve
ning, for Columbus on his way to Illinois.
BPECIAL NOTICES.
We have ben shown a document signed by the Mayors
in office of the cities of the United States and Canada,
certifying to the superior excellence of Dr. Ayers Com
pound Extract of Sarsaparilla and to the value of all his
remedies as articles of great public utility. Such evi
dence from such ki g h sources bears us out triumphantly
in the position w have long maintained with regard to
Doctor Aytr's preparations, or more particularly our
advertisements of them. No 'publishers need be more
opposed than we are to the promulgation of quackery in
any Fhape, but we knew when we began, that his reme
dieswere above any suspicion of deception—that they
were about the best it is possible to produce for the cure
of disease, and that they have the confidence of all com
munities where they are known. Not alone because the
'Mayors of the whole country believe them useful to
their people, but because we know from experience that
they are so to ours, do we believe we are rendering a
substantial service to our readers in making their vir
tues known to them.—Courier, Princeton, Ky.

effect of purging with BR/INDRETMS PILLS is to re

any poisonous exhalations breathed by man whatever.
In fact, if the blood is poisoned, it is impure, and im
pure blood results in disease:

ONLY ONE DOLLAR EACH!
10,000 BEAUTIFUL STEEL PLATE ENGRAVING
OF THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR SALE!.
'VALUABLE PBOrEit TY GIVEN AWAY!
The idea of representing the LORD'S PRAYER byan
engraving, and of ornamenting and arranging it in such
a manner as to produce at once a model of neatness and
taste, was conceived and carried out by ORMSBY, the
celebrated Bank-note Engraver of New York city. It
commences with exquisitely executed words of "Oua
FATHER," and then follow in succession the other parte
of the Prayer, every phrase of which is engraved in the
most elegant and tasteful manner. Near the bottom of
the picture is a superbly executed head of OUR SAVIOUR,
and encircling the upper part of the engraving are t ea
angel., each bearing one, of the gait commiximiesys.
The engraving has received the most unqualified praise
from the religious community, as there is nothing of a
sectarian character about it, having been recommended
by clergymen of all denominations. As an otnament it
is one of the most splendid ever published in this country,
and is destined to take the place of a po.rer class of
engravings. The size of the plate is 20x28 inches, and'
is unquestionably the cheapest engraving ever offeredin
this country.
Who that loves Art—who that delights to study aline
engraving—who that would possess a beautiful Picture
—wbo that would receivo the impressions which such a
work is calculated to impsrt, wou'd fail to secure a copy
when the price is only 027 E nota.en, with the chance of
securing for that sum in addition a permanent - home or
another valuable Gift?

is 'worth more than the dollar asked fot it, as will raediily
be acknowledged on an inspection of its bet the
subscribers intend to make a Girt Distribution to
purchasers of the engraving of valuable presents, ag
follows:
1 House and Lot in York Borough;
2 Building Lots :
2 Buggiesi; Quinn & Palmer's make, warranted.

When the Engravings are all sold, a meeting of the

when the Gifts named above will be distributed in such
manner as the purchasers may determine—the purchasers
selecting a committee of disinterested persons to make
the awards in such manner as they may designate.
