THE WAR NEWS !
FROM HAVRE DE GRACE-DISPATCHES FROM
THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT-MILITARY TIGI
LANCE-HOTELS TO BE CLOSED-THE SEVENTH
REGIMENT-RAILROAD REPAIRED-GOVERN
MENT OFFICERS SEARCHED-RESISTANCE TO
SECESSIONISTS.
HAVRE Dg GRACE, April 25, 10 P. M.—The
bearer of dispatches from the British Govern
rgent to Lord Lyons paid $4O for carriage hire
from Baltimore to Washington, there being no
railroad accommodation.
Sentinels are placed at the outskirts of Bal
timore. Scouts are traversing the roads eve
rywhere.
All the hotels at Havre de Grace will be
closed on Monday next.
The Seventh Regiment of New York have
safely arrived in Washington.
Great difficulty was experienced in relating
the railroad track from Annapolis to' the Junc
tion of the Washington branch, which had
been torn up by the mob ; it is completely re
paired.
Several officers of the Government have been
detained and searched in Maryland; one in
particular, saved himself by stratagem from the
halter.
There are now certainly over 14,000 troops
in Washington, 5,000 of which are in the Cap
itol, the remainder are distributed in other
public buildings.
Should the people of this State attempt to
stop any Northern men from passing through
this town, they will be fired upon. The cannon
of Northern men are now pointed at this place
from the other side of the river.
The Legislature of Maryland meets to
morrow, at Frederick, by special proclamation
of Gov. Molts, too much difficulty being ex
perienced in reaching Annapolis.
It is believed that a secession ordinance will
be passed at once.
If Fort M'llenry is attacked, as has been
threatened, Baltimore will not only be bom
barded, but fired and surrounded immediately.
Every citizen of Baltimore is armed, and a
reckless spirit prevails.
Thomas Rawlings, Esq., of Baltimore, with
his entire family, have just arrived here, being
compelled to leave under threats of violence.
It. was generally known in Baltimore that Mr.
Rawlings would receive an appointment as
Consul teEngland, and therefore he was
obliged to leave.
In Baltiniore, flour has risen to $l6 per bar
rel ; the same per ton for coal. Orders have
been issued' by the authorities forbidding any
provisions to leave the city.
FROM CHARLESTON
PHILADELPHIA, April 25, 1861.—1 saw a gen
tleman to-day • who left Charleston, S. C., on
Thursday last. Ile says Gen. Beauregard was
then at Charleston, superintending the repair
ing of Fort .umpter, with the expectation of
an immedititp,attack upon Charleston from the
North ; that that time there was no move
ment of troops towards the North, and he be
lieves there will not be. This gentleman says
the people of the South are awfully mistaken
about the existing state of affairs at the North.
They really believe that they have friends
enough in the North to join them to give them
complete and speedy success. He says when
they hear that such men as Pierce and •Bu
chanan are expressing Union sentiments, and
Caleb Cushing and Pierce have volunteered for
the Union, and that General Butler, the Breck
inridge candidate for Governor of Massachu
setts, is at the head of an army marching under
the flag of the Union, against the secessionists
—when they hear all these things, and, in ad
dition, that all parties have given way to one
loyal sentiment, simultaneously expressed by
the whole people of the North—they will be as
tounded, and be brought to a realizing sense of
the terrible calamity they have brought upon
themselves by their insane and treasonable
plotting.
HOW THE GOVERNMENT SEIZED THE RAILROAD
FROM ANNAPOLIS TO WASHINGTON.
• A detachment of the Massachusetts volun
teers took possession of the railroad leading
from Annapolis to Washington. No resistance
was offered them, but as soon as the demand
was made the gates were thrown open to them,
and after placing fifty men on guard, the re
mainder commenced operations by repairing
the engines and cars which had been disar
ranged by the Company in order to prevent the
troops from using them.
At about four o'clock this object was accom
plished, and a train run out by an engineer in
one of the volunteer companies, when it was
found that the ears and road were so arranged
that at about every revolution of the wheels
the cars were off the track; having no jack
screws at the depot, the soldiers resorted to
pries and main strength to replace them—ano
ther revolution and the cars were off again.
Finally, however, they succeeded• in obviating
this difficulty, and ran the train about one
fourth of a mile, when it ran into one of the
switches and was thrown from the track.
Finding the road disarranged, fifty men were
detached to proceed in advance and examine its
condition, which resulted in finding that at
various places the track had been taken up,
and up to a late hour on Tuesday evening the
damages had not been entirely repaired, but,
in ail probability, will soon be in working or
der, and the forwsirding of troops and provis
ions commenced. A large number of troops
from Washington arrived at the Junction, and
are now holding the road in conjunction with
the troops here.
CONCENTRATION OF TROOPS AT NORFOLK
Intelligence from Norfolk reports the rapid
concentration of Virginia troops at. that point.
Several companies from Georgia h'd also ar
rived there. The whole number assembled is
reported at 7000. A section of an ordinance
passed by the Virginia Convention is published
in the Richmond papers. It authorizes the
Governor to " call into the service of the State
as many volunteers as may be necessary to re
pel invasion and protect the citizens of the
State in the present emergency."
The channel to the port of Norfolk has been
still further blocked up by sinking the old ship
United States in which Decatur captured the
Macedonian. The Federal troops at Fortress
Monroe are supposed to be fortifying the Rip
Raps, an unfinished fortification nearly oppo
site and in the mouth of the entrance to Hamp
ton Roads. The lights on the Virginia shore
of the Chesapeake Bay are being removed or
extinguished, it is supposed by order of the
authorities of that State.
THE DEBT RUCTION OE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
The Norfolk Herald says :—" It is believed
that the cost to the Government, by the de
struction of property in the Navy-Yard, could
not have been much short of eight or ten mil
lions, The cost of those immense and magnifi
cent ship-houses and their contents forms a
considerable item in the account, and so does
that of the Pennsylvanian."
ATTEMPT TO MOB A II: S. SENATOR
LYNCHBURG, Va., April 21.—Andrew John
son, United States Senator from Tennessee
passed through here to-day, on his way from
Washington to Tennessee. A large crowd as
sembled and groaned at him, and offered every
indignity, including pulling his nose. Every
effort was made to get him off the cars. The
demonstrations were first suggested by Ten
nesseans, Great difficulty was experienced in
restraining the populace. Johnson was pro
tected by the conductor and others, who begged
that he might be permitted to proceed home,
and let his own people deal with him. He de
nied sending a message asserting that Tennes
see should furnish her quota of men.
EXODUS.
The turnpike from Baltimore to York, is
literally black with vehicles of every descrip
tion, containing whole families from Baltimore,
who are hurrying to the country. A great
many strangers are also proceeding to Penn
sylvania, for the purpose of embarking for the
North. The country hotels upon the line of
the road are reaping a harvest from the travel
ers.
TRAVEL BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND W IiSHING
TON.
The Baltimore American of Thursday says,
we learned as we were going to press that the
officers of the Baltimore 'and Ohio railroad,
having received intimations that Gen. Scott
had advised a renewal, to some extent, of their
operations, will probably start a passenger
train from Baltimore to Washington, at 11 A.
M. to-day, to return by leaving Washington at
2.45 P. M. to-day. This will supply the fa
cility so much desired by passengers from the
North for Washington, and those now in Wash
ington understood to be anxious to leave it at
ence.
PLOT DISCOVERED TO BURN WILLARD'S HOTEL
ALEXANDRIA, April 20.—A plot to burn Wil
lard's Hotel, at Washington, was discovered
last, night. Fifteen bundles of inflammable
material were found distributed in different
parts of the building, with slow matches at
tached. Cassius M. Clay and seventy-five
others are quartered at Willard's, and it is sup
posed the plot was to exterminate them. All
along the line of railroad, from Alexandria to
Richmond, the troops are drilling, and the
Confederate flag is flying.
AFFAIRS AT HARPER'S FERRY
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, wri
ting from Harper's Ferry under date of April
23a, says :
There are now quartered at this place up
wards of 5,800 Virginia troops, consisting of
artillery, rifle and cavalry corps, and these
number among them the youth of 14 years and
the sire of eighty winters.
The object. of concentrating forces at this
point is not precisely known ; it is thought,
however, that it is to be made a base of opera
tions extending both eastward and westward.
The machinery and tools of the armory, as
well as the unfinished (Wins that escaped de
struction by fire, are being rapidly boxed up
and sent into the interior of the State. This
is done for prudential reasons.
I notice several false statements in regard to
the burning of the. armory_ buildings. Nothing
was burned but the two brick buildings com
prising the arsenal and the roof of one of the
shops in the armory yard. Large quantities
of powder, which had been removed clandes
tinely from the magazine, were placed in the
shops, undoubtedly for the purpose of blowing
them up, as were also eight or ten kegs under
the railroad platform, in front of the Wasser
House. This, however, was fortunately dis
covered and removed before the fire had made
much headway.
The citizens saved 4000 improved arms ; the
machine shops did not take fire, and the ma
chinery was saved.
The Virginia forces here are under the com
mand of General Kenton Harper, of Staunton,
and Brigadier-General Carson, of Winchester,
General Harper saw a good deal of service in
the Mexican war.
I understand that all the students of the
University of Virginia have vacated its "classic
hall" for the purpose of entering into the ser
vice of the State.
I have just understood that five thousand
more troops are expected at this place by to
morrow.
THE PERILS OF TRAVELING
A gentleman having business in Baltimore,
left Philadelphia on Monday last, and arrived
within six miles of that notorious town on
Tuesday evening. He was traveling in a com
mon country wagon, and hoped to enter the
city without any trouble ; but when he reached
the point named above, he was recognized by
some of the numerous parties along the road,
who compelled him to return. While doing
so, he was repeatedly shot at, but escaped un
harmed. He returned to this city early yes
terday morning, having traveled by a circuitous
route.
A GOOD SUGGESTION
We cannot wait to build a Navy, in order to
make the President's blockade complete and ef
fectual. Yet it must be PERFECT, or we lose
millions afloat upon the seas, as well as enable
the rebels to protract this wicked and cruel
war.
Let the merchants of New York and Boston,
then, vie with each other in buying in Europe a
fleet of strong and swift small war steamers,
and hermetically seal the Southern coast.
Tha result ' will be to drive the rebels from
the battle-field, and starve and reduce them
speedily to reason. Ir WILL SAVE THOUSANDS OF
NORTHERN LIVES, MILLIONS OF NORTHERN MONEY,
AND EFFECT A SPEEDY PEACE.-N. Y. Times.
THE OIL WELL CALAMITY-LIST OF
SUFFERERS.
1 4 rom the Pittsburg Despatch
Our correspondent, under date of Franklin,
Venango county, April 19, communicates the
following additional particulars of the awful
occurrence at the Buchanan well, on the 17th.
We extract only particulars not given in previ
ous accounts.
The accident occurred about seven P. M.,
while thirty-two or thirty-three persons were
immediately around the derrick in the shanty,
with large numbers in the vicinity, observing
the oil spouting at the rate,
as is suppored, of
eighty barrels p er hour. Oar correspondent
proceeds:
When the gas and oil, from some yet un
explained cause, took fire and exploded, the
effect was like that of applying a match to a
powder magazine. Some were thrown off their
feet and immediately suffocated by the gas and
flames, while those who were not, rushed forth
with their clothing all in a blaze. The clothing
of those who fell was immediately saturated
with oil, and burned much more rapidly for
that cause. Some of the men were burned
black before the flames of their clothing could
be put out. Only three of those who fell were
rescued; among them was Mr. H. R. Rouse, of
the firm of Rouse, Mitchell & Co„ Oil Creek.
The following in a list of the dead, as far as
ascertained :--H. R. Rouse, of Enterprise,
Warren county, Pa. ; Hamilton Bentley,-Har

The excitement is so great that it is almost
impossible to get a correct list of the unfortu
nate men. To-morrow I will give you a full
and correct list, and should there be any inac
curacies in the present one, they will be there
corrected.
The shanties adjoining the well took fire,
and communicated to some eight derricks. A
large barn, which had just been erected, was
burned, with all its contents. The horses and
cattle were taken out before the fire reached it.
Over a thousand barrels were burned, a num
ber of which were filled wilh oil. Several vats
filled with oil, were destroyed.
The flames of the burning gas and oil, ac
cording to the testimony of all who witnessed
them, reached to the height of at least one
hundred feet in one column. When I visited
the place on Thursday evening, the flames still
reached to the height of fifty feet at the lowest
estimate. It was a grand sight. Words can
not describe the magnificence of such a scene
as this, presented in the night.
The amount of oil which was thrown. out of
the well, was variously estimated at from ninety
to one hundred and twenty barrels per hour.
Eighty barrels is a safe estimate. Imagine, if
you can, such a quantity of oil, thrown forty
feet into the air, and falling back in a shower
of fire, into the burning lake of one hundred
feet in diameter. It really seemed to be a burn.
lug volcano, throwing out fire and smoke in
immense quantities. The light of the fire was
seen in Franklin, a distance of nine miles, the
horizon being reddened as though the whole
country was on fire.
A feeling of gloom pervades the whole cone.
munity. Who can tell of the anguish and sor
row which is caused by this awful calamity !
Parents and relatives are hurrying from all
quarters, to seek those 'who are near and dear
to them, to minister to them in their time of
affliction.
Several more of the injured are expected to
die from their injuries.. To detail the suffer
ings of the unfortunate beings would cause the
blood to chill with horror. Yours in sadness,
VENANGO.
We make the following extracts from the pro
ceedings of the Great Union Meeting recently
held in Union Square, New York:
The Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson was the next
speaker. After an appropriate introduction,
he expressed what his hopes had been based
upon, the memories of the past and the inte
rests at stake ; that this great queition which
has agitated our country would be borne above
the field of demoralized politics, and the Union
be saved. But these anticipations were not to
be. realized. Now ruin runs riot over all the
land, and all for madness. - Ron Sumpter had
been attacked and evacuated; threats were
made to march upon the Federal Capital; troops
had been murdered who were on their way to
its defence, and civil war was upon us. It was
no time for indecision and inaction ; for revi
ving partizan issues, to inquire whose hand
governed the helm, nor who placed him there,
if, as prescribed 'by the Constitution, by what
name he was known in the political jargon of
the day. The Government must arm in a man
ner commensurate with its vast resources; not
for an aggressive war, hut for a defensive peace;
not for subjugation and coercion, but to avert
tumult, lawlessness, and disorder, and to main
tain the supremacy of the Constitution and the
laws, and put down insurrection.
The Hon. Edward D. Baker was next intro
duced.. He said that the hour for conciliation
was past, the gathering for the battle was at
hand, and the country required every man to
do his duty. The hour of conciliation might
return, but not to-morrow or next week. It
would return when the tottering flag of Sump
ter was avenged; when traitors were taught
obedience and submission ; when a rebellious
Confederacy were taught that the North, though
forbearing, was not fearful; and after the en
sign of the Republic again streamed over every
rebellious fort and every rebellious State. We
were all Democrats—all Republicans ; we ac-.
knowledge the sovereignty of the people. Un
der the Constitution, and beneath that flag, let
traitors beware. In one sense he was for a war
of aggression. He proposed now as they did
in Mexico, to conquer a peace. (Applause.)
He proposed to go to Washington, and beyond.
He would meet them on the threshhold of their
gathering, and dictate terms of peace. It
might take $30,000,000. It might take $300,-
000,000. What then? They had it! (Ap
plause and cheers.) His mission to-day was to
kindle the heart of New York for war—war—
sudden, bold, determined, forward war this
'day. (Renewed cheers.) Civil war was al
ways fearful and bloody. Dishonor and an
archy were worse. Traitors everywhere were
worse. He desired to speak to them as a sol
dier. It was once his fortune to lead the-gal
lent New York regiment upon the bloody plains
of Cerro Gordo. (Cheers.) He knew well what
New York could do when her blood was up.
We had nothing to avenge—we had something
to punish—wrongs against the :Union. Even
while he spoke the objeCt of the meeting was
accomplished. New York declared that she
would loyally sustain the Government.
The Hon. Robert J. Walker said that if the
doctrine of secession was recognized in
America, Union was destroyed forever—we
had no Government—our flag was a vain sym
bol. Secession was political suicide, and if
not stopped at the threshold, we would' fall
into universal anarchy, and become the scoff
and scorn or the civilized world. The'question
wo uld the people sustain the Government ?
and e verywhere the people had responded that
the nog should be Maintained, and the Union
perpetuated. We must fight it out, until our
glorious flag floated over every fort, and every
vessel, and every acre of soil recognized it as
our national symbol.
The President then made the following an
nouncement:
The steamer Baltic is now at the foot of Canal
Week Men are wanted to go in her to proceed
to Washington to-morrow. Other steamers will
be ready,
.and if the men of New York go there
to-morrow morning, they will be received on
board and armed. (Tremendous cheers.)
And, fellow citizens, I have another an
nouncement to make. Mr. Baker, of Oregon,
who has just addressed you, proposes to mien
