WEDNESDAY MORNING,: It has been suggested that the approach ing anniversary of American Independence should be celebrated by a grand military gathering at or near this city. The sugges tion is one which we most cordially approve. We have now 1 before us the most convin cing evidence that it is impolitic, and may be disastrous, even in a Republican form of government, to permit the military spirit to decline. The position of ‘Pennsylvania is worse to-day than that of many of her sister States which have sustained their volunteer and militia organizations with Bpirit. We see regiments and brigades all ready armed and equipped and under fine military dis cipline, accepted for service by the General Government trom other States, white Penn sylvania rt*ems to be neglected. Why is this? The answer is at hand in the fact that the other States have offered their quota of troops armed, equipped, and.to a certain extent drilled and disciplined, while our own have been called from their custo mary avocations and have to be made sol diers of from the start. Now, no one will deny that Pennsylvania is the peer of any State in the Union in the material for good soldiers. Her men are as brave, as hardy, os intelligent and as patriotic as any in the land. It 16 of such material only that good soldiers can be made, and Pennsylva nia furnishes it in abundance. Her hard hated mechanics, her hardy mountaineers, skilful with the rifle and of great endurance, and her men generally from every walk of life are ready to rally for the Union. All they lack is military preparation and disci pline. In this, it cannot be denied, we are behind many of our sister States. And now a war is upon ua, and we know not how long it will last, nor how maDy’men may be needed. It is all important that the art of war should now receive every possi ble attention, and anything and everything which can give an impetus to military spirit and add to the general knowledge of mili tary discipline is now an undoubted necessity in the education of every able bodied man. The right kind of stuff to make soldiers of we have in abundance. According to French military opinion it requires forty days’ drilling to make an effective soldier. With American aptness and intelligence, this can be. done in less time. And it is our best policy to create opportunities for prac tice and instruction in military matters. We have lost much since the old fash ioned military celebrations of the Fourth of July went out of vogue. Let the coming anniversary be celebrated in an old tash ioned military style. An encampment for three days of all the military in the city and all who can reach it by railroad, would give zest and vigor to military matters here. The Home Guards ot the cities and of all the country round, will by that time be h) a condition to show what mettle they are made of. They will, before then, be formed itito regiments and brigades, and will have selected their field officers. A western camp of Pennsylvania Troops oemposed of at least five regiments, will be in the immediate vicinity, aud we have every opportunity to get up one of the grandest military gatherings ever seen in the Westf There are near the city plenty of locations where large bodies of men can be moved and manoeuvered, and ihuadiscipline and military evolutions on a grand scale can be practiced. We suggest that the committee of Public Safety appoint from among their fellow citizens a suitable committee to make the necessary preparations for a grand encamp ment at Pittsburgh, on Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, the 3d, 4th and sth of July. Suoh movements are already on foot in the Eastern oities, and let us not be behind.— In war times it is becoming that we oele brate the anniversary of the day when our glorious principles were first declared like true warriors, ever ready to defend the right cause. The Mountain House at Cresson, on the very top of the Allegheny Mountains, has acquired a well merited celebrity all over the country as a romantic, healthful and pleasant Bummer resort. The water of the springs is invigorating and possesses fine me dicinal qualities, the scenery is magnificent, and all the surroundings are calculated both for pleasure and comfort. The buildings are large and 'commodious and having been built especially for the public accommodation, nothing is lacking whioh Lhe most exacting could desire. For the present season the Mountain House has been leased by Mr. George Mul jen, a gentleman whose long experience and admirable tact as a hotel manager pe culiarly fits him to take charge of a large and popular establishment of this character. Formerly connected with the St. Charles Hotel in this city and more recently with the St. Lawrence Hotel in Philadelphia, in con nection with Col. W. 8. Campbell, Mr. Mul len understands the public and what it wants. The location of the House is about midway between Pittsburgh and Philadel phia, and its larder is alwayß supplied with the delicacies of the markets of both cities. We can assure the publio that under Mr. Mullen’s oharge the Mountain House will be kept with all the style and comfort for whioh it has been celebrated under the management of his predecessor, Col. W. R. Campbell, and those who are seeking a sum jnpMresortTbr themselves and their families will find no place in the country which will salt them bettor than this. It is Mr. Mul len’s intention to open tbe Houbg on or be forothe Ist of July. The Southern Confederacy Is beginning to rMfiliS the magnitude of the business which It has got on band, An act has been passed au thorizing the isiiue of Fifty Million Dollars of Bonds, payable In twenty years.

It is reported that ex-Governor Wise is in very great danger, and that his recently re, ported illness is so muoh Increased that bis life is despaired of. It is stated that the administration fimre llnguited 1U call for Maryland's quota of, troops. ' <, 'V r-*4j-;';-v ! ■ ' r ••■••' '■, * »j . . «» *t.- Wr-.•. •' * * # - .

' 3 ' , i 4 UV WHAT WILL ENGLAND DOt Tfig recent foreign news leaves us in per ernmpnt of Beilin is goiqg to ptmae in regard hfthejiinencan civil war. There is either an indecision' on the part of Eng land as to what her policy shall be orjelae she is going to make an attempt to Carry water on both shouldera. The proceedings in the House of Commons as published in our telegraphic columns on Tuesday, show this. It appears that the British Govern ment is determined to recognize the South ern Confederacy "as belligerents 1 ” and a motion for tne “ prompt recognition” of the Southerti Confederacy was postponed until the 17th. Another member gave notice that he should call attention to “ the desi rability of not recognizing the insurrection ists,” Then the whole matter has been postponed, and yet it is stated that active preparations are making to send a 11 power ful Bquadron” to the American waters. This looks like vascillation. The,London Morn ing Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ, was ex plicit in declaring that England would re main neutral; that the secessionists could only be regarded as "simple rebels,” ami that the privateering system of the South ern party was piracy, and nothing more. — But a condensed report of Lord John Rus sell’s Bpeech, delivered on the oth inst., (sub sequent to the publication of the Post's arti cle,) which appears in an English paper, re ceived in Boston, represents him to have said :—" As to the letters of marque, there was a precedent in the case of Greece when it separated from Turkey. The right of that country to issue letters of marque was allowed, and the law officers of the Crown, who had been consulted, had declared that such a right would belong to the Southern Confederacy.” Moreover, it is Btated in the Dublin .Yru>s that the Foreign Secretary declared in the same Bpeech that the government would not recognize the blockade of the Southern ports by the Federal Government unless it was rendered effective, but that it would re cognize the privateering system ot Mr. Da vis. Until we receive a full report ol Lord John Russell's speech it is not easy to tell what the actual intention of the British ministry may be, if, indeed, any policy is as yet definitely decided upon. :MAY 22.

THE HOME GUARD. The Committee on Home Defence yester day appointed the following field officers for the Home Guards now organized in this county : Major General, William Wilkins ; First Brigadier General, George W. Cass; 2d, William F. Johnston ; 3d, Dr. Robert Simpson. There could not possibly have been a better selection of men for these positions than those whom tbeCommittee have named. The Committee have certainly displayed good judgment in the material for field offi cers whom they have appointed. But they have certainly displayed a wonderful lack of judgment in assuming to themselves the power of making these appointments at all. It was not within the purview of the duties of the Committee on Home Defence, nor any other Committee, to make the selection of any of the officers of the Home Guards —much less their Field officers. The selec tion of these officers should have been left to the Home Guards themselves. They are fully competent to do it and it is their right to do it, a right of which the unasked aotion of this Committee has unfairly deprived them. Their own regimental officers they will select and why not their field officers with equal propriety. The Manufacturing ot Arina, dtc. Last week, the United States Government clused an important contract with B. H J enks 4 (Jo., of Bridesburg, for the manufacture of 811,000 Enfield Rifles, the terms of which are that 1000 of tbe rifles are to be finished within sixty days, and after that 1000 are to be fin ished weekly, Tbe Enfield rifles are a weapon somewhat heavier than a musket, and have a longer range They load at the muzzle. The name "Enfield" is derived from tbe town where they were first manufactured in England. Messrs. North, Chase dc North have also completed a contract with tho U. 8. Govern ment for the manufacture of shot and shell. B. Frank Jackson, printer, of this city, has obtained the contract for supplying the blank books for the ose' of the U. S. Army. It is said the contract will amount to upwards of #30.000. Tbe harness makers in the city are very busy making harness and other articles appertain ing to their trade. The State Government has decided that the ■work of furnishing clothing for our volun teers shall be done by contract. —PiUadetphia Inquirer.

The oath to be taken by these volunteers will be for three years, if the war so long continues. The LJuincy Whig of May 14th, Bays: The excitement in Missouri at this time, is intense, and the secessionists are bent on dri ving out every person that will resist them in their hellish schemes. Over forty arrived here last night, and ecores are daily neeing for their Uvea, leaving everything they possess in the band- of a lawless mob. Sixty families have been driven out of Macon City within two weeks Brigadier General Mansfield, it is under stood, will take command of the body of troops that will be ordered into Virginia from Wash ington city. It will consist of twenty live thousand volunteers, and three thousand regu- Gen. A H. Boeder, the newly appointed Brigadier General, it is said will command the forces which will be detailed to take Harper’s Ferry. The news afloat that the Seventh New York Regiment would break up their camp at Wasbs ington city when the j»eriod of their service eipires, is without foundation. Their inten* Lion is to wait tho orders of the Department. A Washington despatch of May 19th, says: Tbe President has been absent from the White House nearly all day reconnoitering in the vicinity of Washington. Among other points of interest, he visited the Great Falls, sixteen miles above this city, on the Potomac. He crossed the chain bridge, and passed the secession pickets on the Virginia side, and re turned the same way. The rebels might have caught a frize, but did not know so valuable a one was within their grasp. The War Department cootomplatcs to es tablish shortly two Urge cantonment,*, one at Gettysburg, Pa., and another in tho neighbor hood of New York —probably at Btaten Is land. Tbe object of these camps is lo prepare two efficient c*.>rp» d'avmct, with which cortain important operations can bo promptly carried out. Tho force that will bo collected in those camps is not yet settled upon, but will vary from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand mon. They will be worked up by tho best officers to the highest efficiency, and kept in constant readineas for active service The force at Get tysburg will no doubt be employed at the right n oment for an inland movement that it may not bo projxjr at tbi* time to disclose, whilst that at Staten Uland is meant to be directed against various points uf lhe seaboard bound ing the rebel States.

The rebel leadors have exhibited a great deal of »agac ; ly until now in concealing their grand movements from tbe United States offi cere; but it has boen discovered within a few days that in addition to the occupation of Har per's Ferry and Norfolk, they are assembling large columns of troops at orktown, Lynch burg, Fredericksburg, Staunton and Wes; Point. Yorktown ta situated on the Vork river, seventeen and a half miles from Fortress Monroe. The camp of the secessionists apj>earB to bo for the purpose of mooting any land movement that may be made by the federal forces from the latter fort. The concentration of troops at Fortress Mod roo under General Butler, it is alleged, is for the purposo of forming a grand entrenched camp. The Norfolk Herald of the 10th inst., in alluding to Ibis movement says: .. 4,839 76,321 . 23,802 . 93,024 49,000 . 11,024 ‘■We learn that additional operations have been entered upon by the fodorsi forceß at Ft Monroe, embracing the seizure of the farms of Joseph Segar, Judge Clopton, and indeed all the territory constituting the peninsula be tween Hampton and Mill Creeks. It is said further, that they have been making surveys preparatory to the erection of outworks. A portion of tbe farms will probably be appro priated to tbe accommodation of horses, mules and cattle required for the use oi the garrison. It is said that Gen. Mansfield Is to conduct the hostile movement upon Virginia with a force of 26,000 volunteers and 6,000 regulars. Gen. Butler has gone to Annapolis previous to his departure for head-quarters at Forifeß9 Monroe. A despatch received last night says that tbe new military department Is to comprise East** ern Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, but it is more probable that previous intelli* gence was correct, which'included South Car. olina, and not Tennessee, as it is evident that active demonstrations are to be made by sea ss part of the contemplated aggressive move> meet on tbe South." Tbe health of the volunteers in and around Washington continues unusually good. Gen. George McClellan, of Pennsylvania, appointed Major General of the Ohio volun teers by Gov. Dennison, has been promoted a& a Major General in the army by President Lincoln, and will be at the head of the West ern military district, composed of the Western counties of Pennsylvania, the Stales of Ohia, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Mr. Edw’d L Handy, an officer in the Uni ted States navy, was arrested on Friday by order of the military authorities, and taken before the mayor as a person inimical to the rights of Virginia.

The great question of re-enlistment is daily discussed, and on to.morrow the wishes of the companies will be partially, if not fully known. The reasons given by the soldiers why they do not enlist for three years are many, and com prehensive discussions on the course pursued by partlescan be heard every evening, when ex cited knots of soldiers gather on the streot cor ners. A few of these reasons might amuse our people, but as they wore given seriously, and without any intention that they Bhould ever appear in public priat, wo will leavo thorn to indulge in tho belief that they were solid.— 1 have no doubt hundreds of letters will be sent home, and each one, more than have a different version of tho accident which occurred on Be&vor stroot, of this place yester day. Many of them will be based on infor mation wholly unreliable, being hearsay coming to tho writers probably through a fifth channel. The eager anxiety of somo to dll out letters with something In the sensation style, although done unintentionally, is the the cause of much anxiety to many, who jump to the conclusion that thoir son or brother is tho injured one. and as tho loiters aro vague and indodnito as to the number who are injured,it is more so. A lad who drives a cab being on the parade ground yesterday morning, drove bis horses into a feuco.

We know that m war you are thus prepared— and in view of your responsibilities, present and prospective, in behalf of your companions in the Cheshire Light Guards, l present you this, which forms the necessary family baggage train, in order that in peace as well as in war you may be prepared for whatever may hap pen." Owing to the seizure of all good destined for this city and points farther South, by the forces of the Administration at Washington, Gov.

How Baltimore Feel. About It. The Baltimore Exchange, (secession,Speak ing of the Philadelphia tn*op« nowin the city, ft&yi: “The substitution of General Cadw&lader for General Butler ns the officer in the chief command of the Northern troops now station ed in Maryland, ha* been hailed with that sort of qualified satisfaction which every com munity that is placed under military super vision is apt to feel when it knows that the general in command has the instincts of a gen tleman. But it would be wrong to suppose , that popular sentiment has undergone any change whatever in relation to the nature of the indignity which has been put upon this city and State by quartering Northern troops in our midst, or that, when the time comes, it will fail to manifest in a way which cannot be misunderstood. We warn General Cadwala dor not to mistake the respect which is paid to his reputation for humanity, and to his fine social qualities, for an acknowledgement that it was not the armed occupation of Maryland which was opposed by her people, but the in* struments employed to carry out the meaeuro. He oould not fall into a more grievous error. We may admire the character of the newly appointed jailor, and may believe that, under his rule, our manacles will not be permitted te out quite so deeply into the flesh as they might under the orders of another; but we know, nevertheless, that wo are manacled; that we shall be restive until we are free, and that we shall never cease to demand to be reinstated in all those rights* of which we have been so tyranically dispossessed, and to which we are legally entitled; and we say to General Cad walador, and we say also to the Administra tion under whoso orders ho is acting—that we will have them. In speaking thus firmly, but resolutely, we deny that we are contumacious. We are simply standing up in the defence ef the sovereignty of tbo State, and of the privi. leges of the people under the laws. As a pri vate gentleman, we,entertain a very high res pect for General Cadwalador, but as a mili tary officer, appointed to carry out the mease ures of the Administration, he has no more business to exercise authority over us than had General Butler, nor does It matter one jot whether his command consists of militia from Massachusetts or militia from Pennsylvania. We speak what we know, when we say that the prevalent feeling which their presence en genders among us is one of deep, intense, sup* pressed indignation. General Cadwalador will soon find that the free men of Maryland can not bo coerced into submission by foreign bay onets. They will never consent to be dra« gooned into joining a Northorn Confederacy.” Preparing lor Events. Stoppage of Goods Bound North. • , . '.■* ««EE| _«.v K ** ,• -,* .•> fita^E • *m ’ .

The aggregate number ef troops within hor border in the secession army cannot be far from 50,000 men, and opposed to them is an equal number of troops loyal to the American flag and the UnioD. The federal government occupy several important strategetic points within the border of the Slate, which, for the timo being, give it a partial and notan unim portant degree of possession of tho wboleState. Tho ordinance of secession, which passed the State Convention on tho 17th uIL, will be sub mitted to the people for ratification or rejec tion on the 22d inst. The rebels have fortified themselves, and aie in force at Norfolk, H&r. per’s Ferry, Richmond and Lynchburg, St&n tun, Yorktown, West Point and the advance f; 'in either side would be productive of a se» re contest at arms. The western part of Virginia, embracing twenty.five counties, with a population of over 200,000 (uf which 20,000 are liable to military duty), opposes the ordinance of secession of the State and claims its loyalty to tbeStars and Stripes. The Representatives of WesternVlr ginia, with a patriotic determination, avow, In the event of the secession ordinance being adopted on the 23d, they will declare them selves an independent State, and claim-thepro tection, if necessary, of the United States mil itary forces. In this determination they have received the assurance of the Governor of Pennsylvania that they shall have all neces sary succor from his State. Tho forces of North Carolina, in large natn« bers, &ie said to be concentrated at Weldon, ready to advance, at a moment's warning, to any point iQ Virginia where their services may be needed. Rev. J. G. Butler, of Washington City, has accepted the position of chaplain of the Filth Pennsylvania Regiment, Col. McDowell of this city, commanding. To-morrow the people of Virginia are to go through tho mockery of voting on the ordinance of secession.
