Sanders was a native of the State
of Kentucky, and a graduate of the U. S.
Military Academy at West Point, For sev
eral years he had charge of the Ohio river
improvement, in which capacity the suc
cessful and economical conduct of that great
work, marked him a man of rare scientific
and practical genius, untiring energy ami
singular administrative ability, combined
with strict integrity of charaoter. Few
knew him but to admire these qualities in
the officer, while in private life, he was ever
esteemed courteous, kind and amiable.—
During his residence here as superintend
ent of tne Ohio river improvements he mar
ried Maria Wilkins, daughter of our highly
esteemed and venerable patriotic friend,
William Wilkins ; who with several chil
dren were suddenly and unexpectedly
deprived by death of an affectionate and
indulgent hiuband and father
In the corsery perusal which We have
been able to (bestow on the memoir, we
notice references to two important papers,
entitled “Defence of the West and Gulf of
Mezioo, and Floating Batteries,” from the
pen of Major Sanders, that exhibit in an
eminent degree the suggestive and military
mind of the author,and as they relate to mat
ters of a peculiarly interesting character, at
this time, we specially refer to their practi
cal bearing on the past and present condi
tion of our Military and National affairs.
The plan for the “Defense of the West and
Ottlf of Mexico,” was at one time partially
commenced by the government, but subse
quently all except the fortifying of the
Tortugaa and Key West Islands ceased to
be prosecuted, and at this time the want of
the defense of the commerce of the Missis
sippi as suggested in Maj. Sanders' plan, is
. apparent toevery one at all conversant with
/ tile subject. The other paper refered to
as “Floating Batteries” was a later sugges
tion, and very probably would have been
‘ adopted by the Government, had Major
Sanders lived a few months longer. As an
exemplification of the utility of the invention
for assault by water, on a fortification, it is
pnty necessary to refer to the damaging* ef
fect of the famous “Floating Battery” in the
harbor of Charleston, on Fort Sumpter, dur
ing the late assault upon it by the Secession
forces. The plan for the construction and
management of which was no doubt taken
without leave or licence by some traitor
officer from Major Sanders' report, and thus
made available against the government for
* whose defence it was originally designed.
We do not know whether the memoir
which is very handsomely got up, is for sale
by the publisher or not, but if it is, we re
oommend all who take an interest in such i
matters to procure a copy

It is believed at Washington, that govern

LETTER FROM CAMP BCOTT.

|g, MayT3th, 1861. }
fof&r PGgtt —Well'kuowing that any com
munication "'from a volunteer, especially a
Pitte burgher, would readily find a welcome
place in your paper, I take the liberty of
writing one. So the Presidents call for
troops. The old Keystone has cheerfully
responded, and none more willingly or in
larger numbers, nor with better material,
real bone and sinew than from the county
of Allegheny—her country looms, her roll
ing mills, her machine Bhops, her farm
houses, her cities,boroughs, towns and ham
lets are all here represented. Brave, manly,
stalwart, patriotic, and determined—could
your citizens see them,they would feel proud
of these defenders of the Constitution and
the Union. Those here, the hardy sons of
Camden’s mountain heights—from Bound
old Lancaster and Chester, from Lawrence
true, from Bedford bold and Butler stern.
They come like sdow flakes when Decern
bar comes, all ready and anxious to do bat
tle under The Flag of the Union,
: HAY S5O.
“The Flag ot the Free."
The weather ia very fine, and the soldiers
eDjoy themselves after parades and drills to
their hearts content. Last Sunday after
service in the camp, which was largely at
tended, the troops were reviewed by the
Governor and Gen. Keim. Six regiments,
the 1,2, 3, 12, 13, and 16, with six pieces of
Artillery, commanded by Capt. Campbell,
of Cbambersburg, paraded ; they made a
very fine appearance. The 13th, com
mantled by Col. T. A. Rowley had decidedly
the best looking men and officers on the
ground—by the way. it was noticed in some
of the papers that this regiment did not
parade. 1 would respectfully contradict
such a statement, every company was there
belonging to it. Although the regiment
has labored under many disadvantages, not
having been fully uniformed and equipped
yet the soldierly bearing of the men com
! prising the regiment and their hale hearty
robust appearance and their perfection for
so short a time in the service in dress parade
drill, caused it to make its mark as one of
the crack regiments of the State. The com
panies comprising it are as follows: Co. A.
Capt. Morris; F. Capt. McFarland; D. Capt.
Mays; I. Capt. Gallagher ; C. Capt. Brown;
K. Capt. Charlton; K. Capt. Poland; B. Capt.
Patterson, all from Pittsburgh ; H. Capt.
Ziegler, from Butler; G. Capt Feller, from
Bedford—its company and Staff officers are
the very beau ideal of soldiers—its Lieut.
Col. is Purviance, of Butler; Major Milleager
of Washington; Adiutant, Kincaid, of Pitts
burgh, M. £. Moorehead Quartermaster,
and the kind hearted obliging Leopold
Sabi, Junior Quartermaster Sergeant; Ser
geant, Major H. P. Callow. I hope this
tedious enumeration of officers may not take
up too much of your valuable space.
The people of York are very kind. Their
gates open wide to the poor and the
stranger.
There smiles, hospitality, hearty and free.
The volunteer who cannot appreciate their
unremitting attention must be devoid of
feeling.
Day before yesterday Shields Guards, Co.
J. Capt. Gallagher came out on dress parade
and marched through the city, preceded by
the citizen’s band of Pittsburgh, now tbt*
band of the I.lth R.; the men wore their
new uniforms with white gloves , they were
under the command of (’apt Gallagher anJ
Lieut. Ilinton. They looked every bit

THE PENMSUAAXU Ynl.L'NTKEtt*.
Gn May 16th, Gov. Curtin «ent h message
to the House of Representatives, in reply to
some resolutions of that body requesting a
statement of the several requisitions and
orders, regarding the volunteers from Penn
sylvania. The tiret requisition was for six
teen regiments, which was changed by the
following order from the War Department:
War Department. i
April 16, ]K6I. /
Sir; The President has modified the requi
sitlon made on you for troops from Pennsyl
vania, so as to make it fourteen instead of »n
-teen regiments. You are. under this modified
requisition, entitled to two Ma)«r Generals,
four Aids, two Division Inspectors, three Brig
adier Generals, three Aids, three Brigade in
spectors, fourteen Colonels, fourteen Llpuiod-
SQt Colonels, fourteen Adjutants, fourteen
Quarter Masters, fourteen Surgeons, fourteen
Surgeon’s Mates, fourteen Sergeant Majors,
fourteen Drum Majors, fourteen Fife Majors,
one hundred and forty Captains, one hundred
and forty Lieutenants, one hundred sod forty
Ensigns, five hundred and sixty Sergeants, five
hundred and sixty Corporals, one hundred and
forty Drummers,one hundred and forty Fifers,
and eight thousand nine hundred and sixty
Privates.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
His Exoelleucy, Andrew G. Curtin,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
The fourteen regiments were raised imine-
diately.
As stated in a former message, the Gover
nor continued to increase the companies
until twenty-three regiment* were mustered
into the service of the United States.
The next order was that of Gen. Patterson
for twenty-five regiments of infantry and
one of cavalry, which was subsequently re
voked.
On the Bth ol May, in pursuance of a tele
graph dispatch from the Secretary of War,
the Governor issued a letter to ascertain how
many of the regiments mustered into the
United States service, and not sent forward,
were willing to change the time of their
service from three months to a term of three
years or during the war.
Since that the Governor has received no
further order from the War Department,
except the following, which reached here on
Wednesday last:
War Dkpartmknt, i
Washington, May 14, 1801. ;
Gov. A. G. Cobtih: Dear Sir .'—Enclosed
herewith you will find the plaD for the organ,
ization of the volunteers for three years' ser
vice. Ten regiments are assigned to Penn,
sylvania, making, in addition to the thirteen
regiments of three months’ militia, already
called for, twenty-three regiments It is im.
portant to reduce rather than enlarge this
number, and in no event to exceed it. Let
me earnestly reoommend to you, therefore, to
call for no more than twenty-three regiments,
of which only ten are to serve during the war,'
and if more are already called for, to reduce
the number by discharge. In making up the
quota of three years men, you will please aot
in concert with Lieut. Col. Andrew Porter
who will represent this Department, and so
far as possible, make it up by taking in prefer
ence, regiments already offered, having of
coarse due regard to a fair distribution of the
forces among the different sections of the
State. If it should be agreeable to your
Excellency, it would be especially gratifying
to this Department to have some ol those
regiments offered for three years' serv ice
from Allegheny and other western counties, in
cluding the “wild cat district," brought Into
the service under the quota for your State.
Very Keapectfully,
SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
The Governor remarks, in connexion with
this message, that he has no control over
the regiments mustered into service by the
properly authorized "officers of the Federal
Government, nor has he any power to
change the terms of their service, nor to
disbapd them, or in any other manner to
affect their, movements.
The bridges between the Belay House and
Baifier's Perry are reported to have been des
troyed -and the trains obstructed.

SENATOR DOUGLAS ON THE WAR,
A Patriotic Letter—The Government Most
be Sustained*
[Krora the National Intelligencer. J
A friend of Benator Douelas has sent us for
publication a copy of the following letter from
him on the state of the country:
“Chicago, May 10, 186
“Mt Dear Sir: Being deprived of the
use of my arms for the present by a severe at
tack of rheumatism, I am compelled to avail
myself of the services of an amaouenais in re
ply to your two letters.
“It that some of my friends are una*
ble to comorehend the difference between argu
ments used in favor of an equitable compromise
with the hope of averting the horrors of war,
and those urged in support of the government
and flag of our country, when a war is being
waged against the United States with the
avowed purpose of producing a permanent dis»
ruption of the Union and a total destruction
of its government.
“All hope of compromise with tho cotton
states was abandoned when they assumed the
position that the separation of the Union was
•omplete and final, and that they would never
consent to a reconstruction in any contingen
cy not even if we would furnish them with a
blank sheet of paper and permit them to in<
scribe their own terms.
‘‘Still the hope wascherishedthat reasonable
and satisfactory terms of adjustment could be
agreed upon with Tennessee, North Carolina
and the border States, and that whatever terms
would prove satisfactory to those loyal States
would create a Union party in the cotton
Statos which would be powerful enough at the
ballot-box to destroy the revolutionary gov
ernment, and bring those States back into the
Union by the voice of their own poople This
hope was cherished by Union men North and
South, and was never abandoned until actual
war was levied at Charleston, and tho author
itative announcement made by the revolution
ary government at Montgomery, that the sw
cession lag should be planted upon the walls
of the Capitol at Washington, and a procla
mation issued inviting the pirates of the world
to prey upon tho commoroe of the United
States.
“These startling facts, taken in connection
with the boastful announcement that the rav
ages of war aDd carnage should be quickly
transferred from tho cotton fields of the South
to tne whoatfields and corn fields of the North,
furnish conclusive evidence that it was the fix
ed purpose of tho secessionists utterly to do,
stroy tho government of our fathers and oblit
erate tho United SLates from Lite map of the
world.
In view of this slate of farts there was but
one path ol duty left to patriotic men. It was
not a party question, nor a question involving
partisan policy; it was a question of govern
ment or no government, country „r no coun
try, and hence it becamo the imperative duty
of every Union man, every friend of constitu
tional liberty, to rally to the support of our
common country, its government and Bag, and
the only moans of checking the progress ofthe
revolution and of preserving the Union of the
Slates.
‘lam unable to answer your questions in
respect to the policy of Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabinet. lam not in their confidence, as vou
and the whole country ought to be aware 1
am neither the supporter of the partisan poll :y
nor the apologist for the errors of the Adm.n
tstration. My previous relations to them re/
man unchanged; but 1 trust the time will
never oome when J shall not be willing to
make any needlul sacrifice of personal feeling
and parly policy for the honor and integrity
of my country. 0 J
“1 know of no mode by which a loyal etti-
xon may so well demonstrate his devotion to
his country as by sustaining the Hag, the con.
slttution and the Union, under all circumstan
ces, and under any and every administration,
(regardless of jiariy politics,j against all as
sailants, at home and abroad The cour.e of
Ciay and Webster towards the administration
of lien Jackson, in the day. of nullification,
presents a noble and worthy example for all
true patriots. At the very moment when that
I earful crisis was precipitated upon the couu'.ry
partisan strife between Wnig, and Donna rats
was quite as bitter and relentless as now be
twoon Democrats and K-publuans The gull
which separated party leaders in those days
was quite as deep as that which now sepa
rates the Democracy from the Republicans.
Rut tho moment an enemy rose in our midst,
1 lotting the dismemberment of the Union and
the destruction of the government, tho voice of
partisan strtle was busbod in patriotic silence.
One of the brightest chapters in the history
of our country will record the fact that
during this eventful period, the leaders ol
the opposition, sinking the partisan in tho
patriot, rushed to the support of the govern
ment, and became iu ableal and bravo,t de
fenders againek all assailants, until the con

THE POffltrfl?OF ENGLAND.
The receipt of the London journals of May
4th, b; the Kuropa, hai sat at reet all doubt aa
to the policy of the Brltiah government with
regard to the South. The New York Herald
says the apparent ambiguity of Lord John
Russell's language aa to the blockade, and the
belligerent condition of the Southern States,
L cleared up by the louo of the leading London
papers, thecommenu of which we publish this
morning. The Poet, the organ of the Premier,
taya that to preserve that neutrality which
Lord John Huasell “so forcibly eiprossed," is
oloarly the duty of the oountry; it says that the
var now existing in this country must be left
to work itsolf out, however disastrous the re
sult may be to foreign trade and the manufac
turing Industry of England. The position in
which the rebel States are regarded is clearly
deilned by the Premier's organ, when it says
that the national government is at war with
insurgenta whose independent existence, either
da jure or da facto, lias never boon recognised
by any Power in the world; that in the con
templation of public law they are simply re
bels, and that Mr. Lincoln has undoubtedly
the right to declare a blockade of the Southern
ports, and le treat and punish all Southern
privateors as pirates. Tbere is no mistaking
the meaning of this language, and coming
from aa organ of the government it may be
taken as decisive in favor of absolute neutrali
ty on the part of England, and the non-recog
nition of the Southern confederacy. The tone
of the English press generally accords with
these views, the privateering system of Mr.
Uavis being denounced by the London Ship,
piny Gazette and other influential journals as
piracy
NO CONSCIENCE.
J. R. Tucker, Attorney General of the
State of Virginia has given the following
highly legal and moat conscientious deci
sion regarding the oath to support the Con
stitution and lawß of the United States. The
answer is given in reply to a query of a
number of Irish citizens who were at work
in Nelson county Virginia.
ApaiL 11, 186 L—The oath to support tbo
Constitution of the United States is duly bind,
ing so long as a man is a citizen of a State of
I the Union. When she Beoedes, he is no longer
bound. He is a citizen of Virginia, which
has ceased to be one of the United States, and
his allegiance is doe to Virginia.
This Is my well'.Settled opinion, and I act
upon it For lam sworn as an officer to sup
port the Constitution of the United States
But when Virginia secedes I feel I am entirely
absolved from my oath, and am bound only to
support Virginia. J. B. Tucker.
llll-,»v' ~ u
The men of war blockading the mouth of
PeDß&oolft Bay have stopped the supplies of the
rebel forces investing Fort Pickens- General
Bragg has hitherto obtained hia provisions
from convenient depots at New Orleans and
Mobile. Hereaftere ho will have to get them
from Montgomery. Unfortunately, the rail
road which was projected some years ago be*
tween Pensacola and Montgomery, and which
ia the only railroad connection Pensacola has
is not yet completed At last advices fifteen or
twenty miles of very bad ground remained to
be graded and laid with rails.
It Is not impossible, therefore, that the
“gentlemen” who have been enjoying camp
life before Fort Pickens may presently come to
short rations—which the gentlemanly stomach
is not accustomed to. “A little more bread
and pork, General Bragg,” will be the cry in
camp; and it may even happen that these
chivalrous “gentlemen” will be set to the
ignominious work of digging and carrying
dirt, laying sleepers and fastening rails. It
will bo a novel experience to them to be thus
working for their bread and butter. It may
have a wholesome effect.—.V. Y. Post.
(From the National Intelligencer, May 17.]
The Point of Honor.
The subjoined letter from ex-President Bu.
chanan was received at the office of the Nation
al Intelligencer a few days ago, A friend of
the ex President’s who happened to read the
letter, and who feels much interested in the
question of honor and duty, which the letter
incidentally but very strongly states, and
thinkibg that Lhe opinion of one who has serv
ed the country so conspicuously and so long
might exert a salutary influence on the opin
ions of others, asked and obtained the consent
of the distinguished writer to iu publication,
and it is published accordingly:
Wheatland, May 6, Ibfll.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer:
Gentlemen —ln the confusion of the times
I have not received your tri-weekly numbers
‘*.167 and 'J.168, of April 'l7 and April 30, I
believe. As yours is the only paper of which
l preserve a tile, I should feel greatly obliged
if jou would send me these numbers.
Several items in the Intelligencer have
awakoned my atttontion to the facility with
which military gentlemen relievo themselves
from their oaths and change their allegiance.
A military oath has ever been held sacred in
all ages and in hli countries. Besides the
solemn sanctions of religion, there is superadd*
«d the higbost appeal to personal honor.
Each military officer swears that he will bear
true allegiance to the United States, and serve
them honestiy and faithfully against all their
enemies and opposers whatsover. They do
not swear to support the Constitution of any
State. Educated by the United States, they
belong to the Federal Government in a pecu
liar sense. Whilst I can imagine why an ofll*
cer might resign rather than shed the blood of
oi his native State in war, yet it is
difficult to excuse or palliate ibo next step,
which is to go over to the enemy, and make
war upon the Limo-honored flag of the country.
Major Beauregard, when he discharged the
first gun against Fort Sumter, lighted a flame
which it will requires long time to extinguish.
The people of the North at present are enthu>
siasticaliy unanimous. They never were
aroused until that shot was fired. I often
warned Southern gentlemen that this would be
lhe inevitable result.
I enjoy good health, and as tranquil a spirit
as the evils impending over my country will
permit.
Your friend, very respectfully,
Jaukm BrCHANAN.
Blockade of Pensacola.
On the night of the 7th inst , the steamers
Henry Lewis and Dick Keys, from Mobile,
wore brought to and detained by the United
States Heel as they were about entering the
harbor ol i’ensarola Tney were held over
Tiight. and the next morning were got under
way and I.tcoJ to return toward Mobile.
Thuy w-*re convoyed beyond the mouth of the
IVnlulo river, on their homeward voyage, by
a United States steam frigate, which then re
turned to her anchorage with the fleet. Their
papers were endorsed with a “ warning” that
i ; they attempted again to enter the harbor
they would be captured and sent North as
prisoners and the boats sold as prizes. A co
temporary says of ibis bhtokade :
‘•lt settle* the question of the capture of
Fort IVkena completely. Hilherto the Con
federate army under Capt. Bragg has received
all iu provisions and supplies, and indeed all
its reinforcements from New Orleans and Mo
bile by sea: but, with the entrance to Pensa
cola Bay effectually blockaded, all vessels from
Mobile and New Orleans would be intercept
ed, and CapL Bragg’s army completely cut
off from its source ot supphes. The region
around Pensacola is a sandy waste, incapable
of furnishing food or anything else that an
array needs; and there will he no means of
rapid communication with the country above
until the railroad from Montgomery to Pen*
sacoia shall be completed, li seems probable,
therefore, that Capt. Bragg will have to strike
his camp or run the risk of being starved
out.’
While Stephen A. Douglas is doing his
full duty in Illinois, Lewis Cass, the venerable
Ex-Secretary of State, now at hia home in
Michigan, exhibits the most patriotic spirit.
Last night, about eleven o’clock, 1 heard the
Inspiring strain* of the Star Spangled Banner,
and soon came up with the Michigan Regi
ment, the first regiment that has reached
Washington from Lhe great Northweat- It le
a stalwart body of men, warmly clad, com
pletely provisioned, and armed and ready for
any daDger I learn that General Cass is re
solved, even in his old age, to die with har
netf on his back, and has mounted his old uni
form, and reviews hia troops, now congregated
in Detroit, every morning. He has contribu
ted of his private fortune $25,000 to the
equipment . m( the Michigan volunteers, and
$lO,OOO to the support ot their families during
their absence. Mr. Buohanan’s contributions
to the support of the troops, from bis own
city of Lancaster, was first set down at
$6,000, but subsequent information struck off
one, if not two, ot the cyphers of this sum.
Hakbisbubu, May 18. —The Governor, ac
companied by his staff, left there this morning
to review the troops at Chambersbarg. A. N.
Meylert, of Luiorne, and F. L. Dana are ap
plicants, as well rs ex Governor Geary and
