J Dear Post —This war is a “big thing," and when one gets here and sees the reality of it, he beoomes convinced that it is a very big thing. We are not a Washington latter wri ter by profession; we have not been closeted with the President, nor has Secretary Cam* eron nor General Sbott given as-more than five or eu houjy o t f their valuable time, yet we have seen Enough to be perfectly satisfied that “our lJnple” ijg able to take para of himself, hxM iri&hkfe to do so. Since our last letter from Harrisburg, we have , a rpany things—and heard a great many—enough to fill several large newspapers. We shall have to touch them briefly. CAMP BCOTT. We have seen the boys at Camp Scott and right weloome is every Pittsburgher who comes there. The description of the camp we omit. The officers and soldiers are well fed, and comfortably housed and located, except when it rains. A two hours rain displaces the bot» tom of the camp, and the soundings are deep. The shods too sire leaky. The men appear to be in good health and cheerful, and are anx ious to move. They are not yet fully equipped, although supplies of olothing, shoes and mili tary stores were ooming in daily. We saw a regimental drill of the 12ih and a portion, of the 13th regiments, together with Capt. Campbell’s battery of flying artillery from Carlisle. The drill and discipline is re-* m&rkably fine, when the short time for prac tice is taken into consideration. Col. Camp bell and Col Rowley are devoted to their com mands, and spare no laoors to make good sol diers oat of them. General Negley is fuft of business and his headquarters at the Washington are constantly full He expects daily to be ordered to march. We see by the papers that you are talking at home about the refusal of the services of the 12th and 18th regiments. There is no such news here, and we presume the story has arisen from the fact, that the officers here de sired the three months volunteers to enlist at once for three years as this would secure them good positions, while the soldiers prefer, as a general thing, to fulfill their first contract first audition if the country called for thoir services to continue in the field. There is a good deal ot feeling on this question in the camp, and the men complain that some of the officers told them that unless they would enlist now for the lull term they would go home dishonored. The Pittsburgh boys will never come homo as long as there is any need of their services —rest aasored of that. Lieut J. H. Foster is Postmaster of the Pittsburghers, and his quarters are plied up with documents and letters. No. man in the camp works harder or with better judgment for the comfort and happiness of those around him. Major Alot. Hays, of the 12lh, is admitted to be the best disciplinarian and drill officer in camp, and tho men “believe in him" most thoroughly. , . LloaL Col. Kippey we saw for a few mo menta at Harrisburg. He never looked bet ter in flis lire. His rogiment is at Chambers borgh. There are few better soldiers anywhere than he. TO BALTIMORE We welt through to Baltimore on the first regular passenger train on the Northorn Cen tral. That story about a second attempt to ear mile* - Xrjm BaHL - more, which I see by this morning's papers has been telegraphed all over the country, is all moonshine. We were there at the time of the delay, and it was a first class thunder storm that had dona the damage. The streams had swollen and the foundations of a couplo of the trestles of tho bridge, a mile from Cockeya viile, were washed away and the temporary trao£sagged down. We walked to (jockeys vllle, where we had breakfast, and after a de. lay of a couple of hours the bridge was re paired and we went on to Baltimore. We conversed with many Marylanders from the country districts, and found the Union sentiment almost universal in the northern counties. A Judge of the Orphans* Court of Baltimore, who is a planter, residing above Cockeysville, said to u<: “We slaveholders in Maryland are all for the Union. I have a large number of niggers up home there. 1 know that if Maryland stays in the Union my property will be protected. If she goes out, 1 would'sot give eleven cents apiece for my nig- It is the politicians, not the substantial peo ple wbo are secessionists,so far as thecoantry is concerned. In the city it Is different There many of the merchants, manufacturers and people of all classes sympathize with the Southern Confederacy. . ' BALTIMORE. Baltimore presents a singular appearance. Business is almost entirely aiupended. Be*- taorante and drinking bouses are closed. Stores and dwellings in great numbers are to lei. The city was invested by the Massachusetts troops, under Gen Butler, on the evening before our arrival. It was apparent that the people sub mitted to it very sullenly. They don't Uko the Yankees. The soldiers from Federal Hill walked about the streets In twos and threes un molested, but even tbe little mad" at them. The arrest of Winans at tbe Belay House caused some excitement., and the disarming of the city was grumblingly sub mitted to. Strangers were evidently looked upOn- wlthsuspioion, and yon could only now and then hear a word spoken upon the affairs of the country. Altogether things looked gloomy in the Monumental City. When Gen. Cladwallader arrived with tho Pennsylvan fa troops, and superseded Gen Bdtler, the people said, “goodl If wejmuat have a mast er, let us have a gentleman—not a Yankee.” Gen. Butler with his troops, came up from therßpley House about seven o'clock in the evening The crowd of men, women and children, was tremendous, and tbe feelings of chagrin, and mortiUcation are freely ex pressed by tits secessionists at their “marching through Baltimore.” Gut the power of tt|e government is making Itself felt; and Balti more is now in a position which she cannot rodent.' COl.. UNI. There was a rumor as we passed through Baltimore that Col- Kane had been arrested. He is«& s #i?«d 5 ' of the pollee, and, like the whole city government, is a secessionist— Bodie Union men in Baltimore freely express ed their opinion.tbat if he “was not arrested, he ought to be.” When Sherman’s Battery arrived at Balti more Col. Kane, with a force of his police went to the' landing,' and with considerable pomp, tendered his tp Col Shepuuu, “wfesreyou i’Says Shermah. * Philadelphia and ask the Pennsylvania [Railroad Company. I Enow nothing about it. THE CAMTd LI WASHINGTON We have read tbe brilliant discretions— historical and fictile us of camps and camp life—but at Washington wo can »eo the rual thing. Tbe wbolo city is in fact one va-t camp We spent a day In visiting them, and although we cannot particularize the names pf the Regiments, we may perhaps, bo able to give you a faint idea of what our National Capital looks like when on a. war footing— You go to the Capitol building. Ills full of Soldiers. Two Kegiments are quartered in it. It is a general big building, but Senate Chamber, Hall of tbe House, Committee Booms, —every nook and corner !i made soldier’s bivouac. Tbe smoke of moerschaumi|arlsae In tbe nos trils of tbe American Bagla, and Washington looks wonderingly from his canvass at all this turmoil In the splendid council balls of the hatjon. Wm. l'enn and his fat faced Indian from tho basso relievo are astonished at the din; Pocahontas, kneeling at the baptismal font, is startled, and all tho historical person ages departed in the rotunda seem to ask | What means all this martial array in tills place where wordy wars only are wont to be fought ? A burly Teaton is smoking his moerschsum in the Vico President's chair, and tho mem bers'desks are occupied by soldiers, lounging, eating and writing letters The Marble Halls of tho Patent office are (Hied with soldlors. Bo Is tho Troasury de partment, the Oily Hall, Ihe Inauguration ball room, and all the public buildings. A regiment is quartered at tho Navy Yard, and as you go along the unbuilt squares, Just out side of the city, you see on every sideoomfort able camps of wooden sheds and lines of picket guards, companies drilling, and squads of men detailed for various duties. There is no non sense about a soldier’s life here. The rules of war are observed Btrictly. On the high grounds about Washington, on every side except the Virginia side, you see among the trees the white tents of camps most picturesquely located. “Old Chapultepec” has surrounded the city with camps. We-vis ited several of them, and the difference, even to our inexperienced eyes, between the disci plined soldier and the volunteer in his first camp was very apparent. THE NEW TORE SEVENTH. This is well called a “pet” and a “crack” Regiment. We wondered at the frequent men tion ot them in the newspapers, but we do not wonder since we have seen them- They are all young men—all gentlemen, and such sok- Idiers. It was onr opinion when we saw tbjfffp drill th&t we never had seen any real soldieffl before. , The camp of the Seventh is situated in thq priyategrounds of a gentlemen, about two and a half miles out 14th street The tents are' large,and situated like the. streets of a citytic THE WAR. TUB TENTED FIELDS. There are between two and three hundred of them. The whole ground within the lines is as clean as a | ark. The whole regiment is uniformed and equipped precisely in the same manner. We saw their dril^and j £heir every movement was'lbe’moat'perfect 1 conceivable—every order*-.-?wag; executed- as though the entire body was moved by a single spring. The whole arrangement was more like a great piece of machine work than any thing else to which we can compare it. And their band of music ! Talk at out your fashionable concerts! Why the band of the Seventh is a wboleacademy of music. A Brass Band of forty two instruments, and twenty drumß, compose this magnificent band. It was drilled like the rest, commanded by a ma jor with a glittering baton, and certainly dis coursed the most eloquent martial music we ever beard. The Cbaplain,too,drilled in the ranks—a tall elegant looking man with a jot black uniform, velvet trimmings and a sword by his side, ready to fight tho battles of uia country as well as of tho Lord. KLLhWORTH'S PET I.AMBS. Colonel Ellsworth with his Zouave Regi ment is encamped beyood the Insane Asylum, about Lhreo miles from tho city v We saw the morning drill of his regiment krfyhout arms.— The drill was in double quick time, and the “Lambs” were a most astonishingly active set of fellows. Ellsworth has a voice like a young thunder storm, and a power of endurance on foot, equal to any man we over saw. His regi ment is in perfect discipline, and there is not a man in it who is not a capital Boldier. The guard was most polite and attentive to us as strangers. THE NEW YORK BIXTY-NIVTH We also visited the quarters of Colonol Cor coran’s Regiment from Now York—the one which refused to turn out to honor the Prince of Wales. They are quartered in the College Building at Georgetown, and very comforta bly quartered 100. Tho men aro mostly Irish. They are capitally drilled, and proficient in evory duty of tho soldier. The scene was a strange ono to look upon, the soldiors, teach ers and the student*—all commingled, the lat ter reciting their lessons in clear, loud tones as they passed along the avenues, amid ihe armod men and tho martial music. But this letter is getting long, and we have many more things to note yet. the rirru i’rnnntlv ania rkiUiint The Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel McDowell's, was the first sent through from our State. There was more danger then than there is now, and the Pennsylvania mot. Lo gan to “see service” at once. When the regi ment arrived at Anna{*olia, C<>l. McDowell wsh ordered at once to march bis men along the railroad U< the Junction and to see that every rail was in order. The distance is over twenty miles and along tho lies, which is rather hard marching, tho regiment marcbod in eleven hour'. Arrived at the Junction, Ch>l. McDowell was at once ordered to take command of the post and to detail oigbly*fivo of hts tired m«n as a pickot guard, which ho did, and then quartered his regiment In a field upon the gra>». with half a blanket apiece and the canopy of loo*von their only shelter. The Colonel quartered m the midst of hi* men. When they arrived in Washington,thoy wore quartered at the Inauguration Hall, where they now are For sotno days they ei{«er!en« C4xi many hardships for want clothing, shoes and equipments, but they are now well clothe*! and except they have to carry their ammuni tion in their breoebes pockets, f*r want of cartridge boiea, aro well equijqHxi They are quite well dnjiwi, and as fiuo a looking mil •>( men as > his men. Tho men are all in good health and eager for service. We went to tho camp of tho regiment after night, but the soldiers on guard were wide awake and wu could not ob tain admission Col. McDowell's friends in Pittsburgh and Allegheny, may rest amured ; that the Fifth Regiment with Col McDowell at its head will give a good account of lUalf at ail times and under ail circumstances TUI KORCEN IN VIRGINIA The government evidently diK* not think that the rebel forces have given up their idea of an attack upon Washington. Thu we judge from tho fact, that all the points leading to It are being strongly invested and guardod, aDd that there is no longer any doubt of ibe pres- a very large force in Virginia Oa Wednesday night wo rodo from Washington to Baltimore with a gentleman from tboß>uth, who had that day arrivod from Cb*rlaalofi> having passed through Norfolk and Richmond. He was apparently a man of judgment and good sense, who deprecated this war,hut strong in his Southern feeling His conversation was interesting to us, and may provo so lo our readers. From what bo taw with bis own oyat, be twoen Charleston and Washington, be thinks \ there are at toast one hundred thousand men in arms. Thoy are not all regular volunteers, but men of every clast, young and grey beaded are armed, drilled, and prepared to light Ue lays, and he was over sixty years o! ago, that 1 he nover saw such unorgy and determination 1 displayed In bis life. These men are m real 1 earnest —make no braggadocia of what they will do—-but expect an invasion from tho North, and are determined to be prepared for * it- Ue says that in Virginia there are at least 1 fifty thousand soldiers, all well armed and woll 1 equipped,and most of them uniformed in coarse but serviceable clothing. Our informant states that tbe South is woll provisioned. Large crops of early vegetables are in the market, very cheap, which were raised to be sent to Washington, Baltimore or Now York, but now furnish a surplus at home, as they connot bo Honl itlscwhnro lie says that from Rich* mond to within ntn» mile* of Alexandria, troojm were nncauijMxl all along the railroad in tents and in shanties. While our informant was at Norfolk, a body of four or five hundred Cherokeo Indians came in and offered their servloes to the Southern Confederacy. They wanted tp fight, but know nothing and oared nothing about the questions at issuo. Our Southern friend refused to tell as tbe price of meat, although he insisted thore was plenty of it, and positively dociinod to tell us where abouts General Beauregard and Jeff Davis were at the preseDVtinie. Our friend who was in business in Charleston; we should judge a grocer or liquor dealer, from some remarks be made, appeared to be a gen tleman and a man of truth. Ue saw tbe storming of Bumpier, and gave us a graphic description of it. Ue said the idea pro* sen ted to hie mind, was a big man . fighting two others. Anderson would lire ' fifteen or twenty guns into Port Moultiie,and then when the hot shot from the floating battery became troublesome, he would move his men across the • Pori, and lire away at that awhile. He- went to the Port afte* the flag was * ered the next morning mod says the men word - th^ 1 blackest, smokiest looking individuals he leTer flaw.

He paid a visit to the Floating Battery, and counted fourteen ball holes in says it feetjy amazing that no one on it was killed. £‘‘* 1 TB&VXWB IN WASHINGTON. It wa» known at Washington that there were eight thousand troops at Harper’s Ferry and more constantly pouring in. The gentle man whoru we have already alluded to says that the Virginia forces expect an attack both at Harper’s Ferry and Norfolk. The people of Washington seem to think that the city would yot be attacked, but the preparations of the government have given them confidence. Southern people come across from the Vir ginia side without molestation, but few cross the Potomac from the Northern side. The bridge is guarded, a battery of rified cannon in the Navy Yard points ominously toward Alexandria, and the Powhattau lies in the river opposite the town ready for any emer gency. It appears to be the opinion that the occu» pnlion of points will be gradual and that plenty of time will be taken for preparation so that every position once occupied can be held. Ordnance stores, shot, shall and ammunition of all descriptions are being shipped from Washington to points where needed. The designs of the government are kept a profound secret, and its onorgy and power are seen from the effects produced. The idea that there is “going to bo no fight ing" is not entertained in Washington city. Too much Is known of the temper of the .South, and the necessity of action North, to permit such a thing to be thought of. Tho lighting will come. It may be a oouple of months before any great battle will be fought, but the fighting will come. There is no child’s play about all this prepa ration. it costs now probably a million of dollars a day. It's a big thing. It has two big soctiont of the country arrayed against each other, it has big men on both sides.— Like olhor big thinga, it moves slow. One man is not much when you got to Washing ton. One .Stale is not much. Hut the people >f the United States bavo a government to maintain. They have placed it in the bands of men who are determined to do it. They have a commander-ie*chiof whose cool head and great military skill is equal to tho emergency, and who is not afraid of taking the responsi bility. Big, vast, as this military movement is, it is well managed by tho Administration at Washington, and when Gonorai Scott and Secretary Cameron have got things ready the Southern Confederacy will hear “big thun der." Gen. Scott is in excellent health and shows no signs of ago. He was at Mrs. Seward's re ception on Wednesday night, where he was the observed of all observers, and conversed upon the topics of tho evening as blithely as though the lute of the nation was not resting in his hand* Thwro are many strangers in Washington, but few are apparently office-seekers. Their vocation is guiio ninco war has occupied the attention o! the Administration. Everybody c >inta) in with a carpet bag There are no trunk*—baggage is light.

A of tho New York UeraUx in Washington writes as foltowi: No striking events have occurred in the federal capital during the leal twenty-dour hours. But, although the quietnoss of peace prevails for tbe moment, there can be no doubt that some grand advanoe movements of troops will take plaoe before long from this point. My information to this effect is posi tive i>ot thoeo of your roaders that long to bear of battles be patient; they will hear in due season as tnuru clashing of arms as they can possibly desiro. 1 am authorised to make tbe announcement that on the 17th ult tho War Department is sued an order directing tbe commander* of Fort timitb, Arkansas, and Forts Cobb, Otb* •on, and Washita, to evacuate thotr posts and repair with their troops and the moveable government properly to Fort Leavenworth. Orders wero Imued at the same llrno authoris ing the occupation of the tame posts by tbe ; regiment of Arkansas volunteers called out by tbe Urst proclamation of the President. This explains the abandonment of Port Smith by Us federal garrison some time since. Tho evacuation of tho four forts in question should not be mißconstruod They were erected and oooupied for tbe solo purpose of protecting the whites and civilized Indians of the border from the inroads of hostile aborig ines—a protection which tbe developements of the past provo them to bo no longer deserving of. it is true the withdrawal of the United States troops will doubtlessly encourage the numorous secesoion sympathisers among tho slaveholding tribes of the Indian lemlory; but the possession of the forts will bo of no earthly benefit to them in the first plaoe, and in the second, tho fact that the federal govern ment holds millions of dollars in trust for them, rondors it altogether improbable that thoy will try the folly of secession. Tbe leading men of the (Jhorokees, Choc* taws, and ChTckasaws lately visited tbe East ern cities, and saw the earnestness and unan imity of tho North in supporting the federal authorities, and returned satisfied that to join tho fortunes of the rebellious 3tatcs would in volve the utter ruin of their tribes. Purchase of Vessels by the Rebel States, A Herald despatch from Washington has tbe following: U is understood that the rebel States have made proffers of purchase for English and other European vessels; but our government have notified the diplomatic corps that no such purchase will be respected, no matter what tho jlag that covers them. Tho language used on occasion was unequivocal and deoided. It has always been notified to tho diplomatic corps that if any commissioner or minister from the rebel States be received by any "European Power, that this government will not hesitate an instant to break off all diplo matic relations with said offending Power, and not only recall tbe Minister of the United 'States bat dismiss from Washington the Min ister of said Power. It was remarked that the entire diplomatic ?body was present at the mftiiary soiree of the Secreiiryof fcJthtb last night.

Founded as the form of our government, in the affection* of the people, they have respon ded nobly and choerfully to the call made on them, and when this shall have been made fully known to the people of the South, the day of retribution will then have come, and tho desperate clique then who have so long de luded the peoplo, will eventually be driven from the positions which they have occupied by stealth, amid the execrations which will be fully heaped on them. Those who are here know that our peace,prosperity and happiness as a people depend on the preservation of the Union. “It must and shall bo preserved.” To-day the first practical move since the arri val of our troops here was made. About twenty-five cars wore brought into requisition, and before night the first regiment bad occu pied them, and shortly after the thrill whistle of tho locomotive was heard, and off they started amid the wildest enthusiasm of men, women and children who had congregated; the cheers of the first could be beard for squares, the second waved their handkerchiefs and gave their approving smiles, whilst the juve nile voices of the laat, could be beard saying good bje. They are to be stationed between the State line and within a few miles of Balti more, along the line of the Western Central Road to keep open the communication.

The tight, jaunty step of the skermishrtrs, the firm, heavy step <«f the heavy infantry, the music of the hands, the imposing array of numbers to which many had heretofore been wholly un accustomed, the heavy tramp of horses and artillery, and horses used as substitutes which accompany every field piece, the warlike ap pearance of their riders, all combined to mako the econo highly attractive, and which if it i'oqM have boon witnessed by our people would have boon to them imo of the greatest pride and a eourco of pleasure; the former would havo arisen from tbo creditable display mode by our regiments, who received Ihocotnmend &nl« notice of many of the citizens of this place Thorn are many silly rumors here, which may probably have reached you In re gard W *>ur\w» regiments. 1 think 1 may safety nay that their claims have been properly coniMered, and that audr a disposition will eventually tie made as will bd satisfactory to all.
