THINGS AT WASHINGTON. Coming to Philadelphia. A CONTRABAND CAPTURE. We have heard'of. & gr&nd-'dxhibilion in Beaver County after cohtrabkhd goods which was rather funny. Kews came to New Brighton that a boat was coming down the canal loaded with arms which it was said were destined for Parkersburg, Va. The excite ment among the loyal Now Brightonians was immense. A large force was organized and inarched up the canal to oaplure the aforesaid canal boat. It was soon captured and at once the captors proceeded to overhaul its contents, which consisted of the household effects of some man who was moving to Parkersburg.— Beds, boxes, bales, bandboxes, were thoroughly examined, an unfortunate sewing machin 6 was taken apart under suspicion that it waß some sort of an infernal machine, and every thing high and low underwent a thorough ex* amination. Our informant states that all the munitions ot war which were seized consisted of one percussion cap box without any caps in it. The invading army surrendered the boat to the charge of its captain and marched back again perfectly satisfied. MAY 81 It is stated that many citizons of high posi tion in Baltimore are known by the Govern ment to be still engaged in hatching treason, and that their machinations are accurately traced. We hope that this statement may prove to be untrue; but if true, no punish ment can be too severe for such baseness.— Everywhere, but especially in Baltimore, has the Government shown unexampled forbear ance, ignoring and apparently forgetting what in any other country would be visited with but Bhort trial and speedy death. This lenity will doubtless hereafter be exchange for legal rigor, and the greatest of all crimes—the at tempted murder of a nation—will meet Its due reward. As well first as last the citizens of Balti more must make up their minds to render to the Government that fealty which is its due. No humiliation is demanded of them, but sim ply to support the stars and stripes as loyal true men ought to do. RUMORS OF WAR. From time immemorial the existence of war has attended with exaggerated rumors, many of them without the slightest foundation. The present war is not an excep tion. Rumors of all sorts are rife upon the streets and come to us in the newspapers and by telegraph—all exciting and all bring enough of probability upon their face to in duce belief. The public, when the untruth of these rumors, is discovered, Is inclined to cast censure upon the papers which publish and the telegraph which brings them. This is wrong. In the present excited state of the public mind such rumors will arrive and the telegraph | operators and newspaper publishers can only give them as they come to hand. People must judge of their truth or falsity for them selves. We use every caution in our power to obtain oorrect news, and what we hear as ru mor we give as rumor. It is impossible that these things can be stopped, for until this con test is ended we shall continue to have rumors of war. WS sincerely and heartily congratulate our worthy neighbors of the Morning Post, oq their election as City Printers. Their unhesitating and magnanimous course, in ignoring party and party prejudices, to step forward instantly to the maintenance of the Union, against its Traitor enemies, merited the equally magnan imous recognition of the largely preponderate ing majority of Republicans in the City Coun cil. We have only to regret that we were (per haps through our own oversight)not present, nor aware that the election was to take place on Monday night, as with no such wish on our part, we are made to appear in the proceedings as the only competitor of our neighbors. Had we been consulted, as we think was due us in courtesy, we should most cheerfully have de clined,and endeavored to make the compliment or honor unanimous. Wo do not believe although some of our partial friends so think —that there was a design on the part of any member or members of the Council to put us in a false position. —We now ask the County Convention to imitate the policy of the Councils — Dispatch. We are much obliged to our neighbor for his kindly remarks. We fully and sincerely believe with oor neighbor, that while the present condition of things lasts, partisan poli- tics should not influence the action of true men. The Union must be maintained by a united people, and in the selection of men for official position, of what nature soever, the only question to be asked is, whether with ability and true patriotism, they will stand by the Government, and sustain the constitution and the laws Pawner’s Hanks. Asa further proof of the stability of these Institutions, we have to note the succession of the sale ol articles which bad remained un claimed in the institution of this kind in Bos ton, for the period allowed by oharler. The great bulk of the articles on the catalogue om braewi watches and jewelry, although there were many entries that marked the result of urgent poverty. The time for the sale was inopportune, of course, for great prices; but the amount accruing, nevertheless, will very nearly cover the amount of loan, interest, and attendant expenses, so that the bank will lose little or nothing. It seems that about one twentieth of tho total value pledged is allowed in this way to oome under the hammer, which is said to be a better result, by ten per cent., than is attained In the Paris institution, after which this is modeled. Even at this time the loans redeemed are nearly as much in amount as the loans made, and sometimes fifty re demptions are made a day. One-hall of the securities taken are in gold and sliver. The stock of the bank at last sales stood at $1.02} ; none now In the market. New stock will be issued next winter. A Commander for the Advancing Column. We are happy to be able to say, says the Wahshington Star of Tuesday, that yesterday afternoon Brigadier General McDowell was duly charged with the command of the division of the forces of the United States recently thrown across the Potomac from this point We infer, from his selection forlhiß command, that it is tho purpose of the Commander-in* Chief to push field operations with that col umn with great vigor, to the present end of cutting off the retreat of the disunion forces now at Harper’s Ferry, and preventing their reinforcement, either of which can be effected only by passing down the Manassas railroad to the junction, a port within fifteen or sixteen miles from the most advanced position at pres ent visited by the scouting parties connected with General MoD.’s command, and upon which it seems to be proposed to advance a considerable portion of the army with as little delay as possible. The boundaries of the military department to the command of which Gen. Irwin McDow ell has been assigned, comprise all that part of Virginia east of the Allegheny Mountains and north of James River, except Fort Monroe and Bixty miles around that point. Judge Casey. The appointment of Joseph Oaaey, Esq., of Harrisburg, by the President to the high posi. ttonof Judge of the Court of Claims, is con ceded to be an excellent one. Eminent as a laojyer, a citizen of unquestionable integrity and high moral worth, his appointment cannot fail; to give very general satisfaction. ’ idov. Mobtob, of Indiana, has contracted with pattfas bow in "Eiirope, for three thous and Bnfleld Bides, to be delivered in Jue. . ) BALTIMORE. THE CONDITION OF THE WAB. No attack had been made as yet upon 8&* wail s Point or Norfolk. A larger force is needed than is yet at the disposal of General sutler. That enterprising soldier however, hasmadesome progress in the direction of Richmond. He has advanced several miles Myona Hampton on the peninsula, between tne James and York rivers, and with 2,600 men has taken possession of a point on the James river called Newport News, and pro ceeded to fortify it, with a view to commence operations for the destruction of the rebel bat teries on both rivers so as to make them free for the fleet. As this movement will probably be dispatched, we may expect to hear of a col lision in that quarter very soon. It is stated that Col. Darvee’a Zouaves were twice fired at by the secessionists Bince they arrived in that vicinity. As these aie ugly customers to deal with, the Southern troops had better let them alone. So much for the centre and left of the lino. On the right a large body of troops, under Gen. McCllelland, were ordered to advance on Harper's Ferry from the West, by way of Wheeling. But the secessionists at Harper’s Ferry, having discovered the movement, pro ceeded beyond Grafton by railroad and de stroyed three bridges between that point and Wheeling, and there is little doubt that they have burned or blown up all the bridges be tween Grafton and Harper’s Ferry. The dis* tance between these two points is one hundred miles. At Harper’s Ferry they have ietained twenty*five engines and the coal trains, in order to form them into barricades, or probably to use some of them for the transport of troops and munitions of war from the interior of Virginia. Near the Point of Rocks they have also succeeded in barricading the road by blowing down upon the track the immense rock whiob they failed to move on the first at tempt. That obstruction, however, can easily be disposed of by blasting when the federal troops obtain possession of the place. Either this movement indicates fear of attack, or it is done in order to guard against the capture of Harper’s Ferry or to prevent an attack on the flank of the secession troops while they par* tially abandon it to make a raid into Southern Pennsylvania or Maryland. In the centre of the Southern line of opera tions tho secessionists were fortifying the im portant post ot Manassas Junction, which keeps open tho communication with Harper’s Ferry for reinforcements and supplies, and troops were being accumulated in the rear at striking distance to sustain this point, which is strong both by nature and by art. To seize this will bo the object of General Scott at the earliest moment, and a fierce battle may take place in that vicinity. From Cairo we have the important intelli gence that permanent fortifications are being erected there, and that a regiment has been sent to Bird's Point, opposite to it on the Mis* sourl shore, which commands Cairo, to seize and fortify it. We learn that the Confederate*, at last ac* counts, had at Norfolk 20,000 troops, at Rich mond 15,000 and at Fredericksburg 10,000 — making at these points alone 45,000 men.— They have at least from 26,000 to 46,000 more troops at other points In Virginia. For the Pittsburgh Poet INTERESTING LETTER FROM OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENT. Richmond, Va., May 28, 1861 Friend Barr:— As I have an opportunity of dropping you a few lines, and sending them by a Pennsylvanian to be mailed in Washing ton, or somewhere on the road, to avoid inspec tion, I will do so and let you know how the war movements look here. I just returned from one of the camps, whore I saw some six or seven thousand troops on dress parade. There are three encampments here, one occu pied by Virginia troops, one by Tennessee and one by North Carolina troops, besides a large number quartered in tho city. All the South Carolina troops left here to day for Manassa Junction, 27 miles from Washington. There were about 4,000 troops in Stanton when I was there, on the 20th. About 12,000 are at Har per’s Ferry, 0,000 at Culpepper Court House, 8,000 at Lynchburg, and nearly 18,000 at and near Norfolk. They are tending a large num ber of troops to Grafton on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The State is full of volunteers, but they need arms and equipments very much. There is not a sword or revolver for sale in Richmond, and a number of companies are arriving every day without arms. Neither South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi or Louie* iana will send any more men Northward, for | they have all they can do to look after the I movements about Pensacola; but North Caro-! Una and Teonessee are sending men rapidly I and in great numbers. The North Carolina men are fine looking, hardy fellows, and well I clothed and equipped; but the Tennesseans are I miserable looking devils, ragged dirty and I without arms. Everything has gone up from fifty to one hundred per cent. They fear an attack on Richmond via York and James rivers, as troops can come within 28 to 40 miles by water, and move in three col umns and attack the city from three points. This was election day and was all going for the ratification of the secession ordinance.— There was no attention paid. Any one voted who wished, no matter where be came from, so he voted right on that question was all that was required. Only one vote was given against secession at Jefferson Ward up to 12 o'clock, and It is one of the largest wards iu the city. No one can leave the city on the car* without having a pass from one of the Governor's aids, an officer who attends to that duty, and this is done in the city where Henry made his famous speech In which he said, “Give roe lib erty or give me death." Despotism rules the day and debauchery the night. The people here are highly pleased with the action of the Montgomery Congress making Richmond the seat of Government. I will go round among the camps to«morrow and can then give you a more full account of their j numbers and condition. I may go over to Washington if lam Ist. I would like to do so and see my Pennsylvania friends, especially the mountaineers from Cambria, Indiana and Pittsburgh. 1 would like to with my old company, the Washington Rifles of Cambria, lours, Kemp. I PENNSYLVANIANS. Sam. Barr, of Lawrenceville, Is General Railroad agent at Annapolis ; Conductor Bo ley,—the eloquent Boley,—is General Dis patcher from Baltimore to Washington ; Con ductor Beggs and Gray are Conductors on the Annapolis road. Andy Carnagie is assistant of Col. T. A. Scott at the War office. Thus Pennsylvania furnishes skilled and effective working men to the government in the time of need. i Fort Pickens. General Bragg’s attack upon Fort Pickens may be considered, we think, indefinitely post poned. The Philadelphia (with Lieutenant Slemmer and his command on boards brings substantial intelligence to that effect, and this intelligence, we may add, is corroborated by advices through secession channels via Mobile and Montgomery. The truth is, Uncle Sam 5 s too strong for Uncle Sambo at Santa Rosa Island; and instead of the latter attacking the former, the reverse is very likely to be the case unless Bragg moves off. Two Men Shot near Alexandria. Two citizens of Alexandria, who on their werd of honor declared they were loyal to the United States, were recently granted passes, with permission to return to that city at pleas* ure. They went beyond the outside guards to-day, got into the bushes, and fired upon the guards of the United States Artillery. They were immediately pursued and shot. The p&sseß referred to were found in their pockets. The statement published in the New York papers that General Oadwallader has been superseded in his oommand at Baltimore by Mr. Cooper, formerly United States Senator from Pennsylvania, is not correct. General Oadwallader may be assigned to another com mand, but Mr. Cooper is not yet Major Gen eral, although at present one of the Colonels of the Maryland regiments. Additional troops' are' being dally de spatched across the Washington, and it is understood/as faitarthe ten- addi tional regiments expected to arrive there '-very shortly, they will bceeatoverbyregi meats. ’<** *4 ' *• • A u I Kro our admiration of the first part of this I striking panorama is diminished by the more I stern portions which follow it, we are again I ushered into tho presence of beauties similar to these described, rendered more beautiful and attractive, by the introduction of the Juniata | into the scene. The ride along this beautiful river, with towering mountains on the right, and similar ones across the stream,rearing their I proud tops into the very clouds, is the finest j portion of the trip. Until this river is swal* I lowed up by the Susquehanna, and even after that, no seeker after romantic scenes and inci dents, need go anywhere else at this season of the year. Bui now the moon begins to pale at the ma* I jestic approach of the God of day, and we have I scarcely ceased admiring what we have been I talking about before we behold J “The morn in russet manile clad, I Walk o'er ihe dew of yon high eastern hdi.” I And ere many moments hl've elapsed, “jocund I day stands tip toe on the misty mountain I top," while, as we approach Harrisburg, we J heoold the rays of the glorious run playing j upon the dome of the SU'e Capital, revealing to its inhabitants and others, the beautiful and I cherished emblem of oar national Union. I After ibis innocent attempt at describing scenery, permit me,‘Mr. Editor, to allude to I persons and things. On Sunday, just as the churches were closing divine servlcse the news of Gen. Butler’s exploit at Sewall’s Point, reached Harrisburg. The newß was generally credited, although there was no such excite ment created as we see in Pittsburgh on such occasions. The intelligence came by letters and passengers from Baltimore, and not by U nuing the fifteenth edition of such afternoon papers as indulge in that profitable amuse* moot. A few hours dispelled the story, and | doomed us to another disappointment. ! On Monday evening I walked to our State ■ Capital, and was delighted with its appear ance. The grounds around it are high and beautiful, and are at presont, in admirable con dition. After walking about for a while, im magining myself part owner of that magnificent arrangement, I observed on a small board of convenient dimensions, wards to this effect, “No walking on the grass, penalty tin dol lars." I retired and thought that 1 would be willing to sell out bt a moderate figure. I next wended my way for the Executive Chamber, end there felt myself entirely at home. Then 1 saw, at a glance, the swaggering military humbug, seeking employment or promotion, whose qualifications for the service consist in an abundance of impudence and no brains. This class of wretches are never at ease; they are constantly fussing about, rattling huge swords, or engaged In what is still more disa greeable, talking about their own achieve* merits. Nine-tenths of these pretenders never “set a squad in the field," and yet they are quite liberal in their denunciations of General Scott's inability to conduct our present cam paign. Occasionally a gentleman with a mili tary bearing, firm, though modest tread, would enter, and always in citizens dress. Upon inquery 1 found these gentlemen of merit, who had official business with Gov. Curtin. As for miself, I walked about the Chamber, looking as wise as I knew how, gazing upon the many villianous pictures which decorate its walls I There, like Volney contemplating the ruins I of an opulent city, once the seat of a mighty I empire, 1 imagined myself surrounded with I the images ot departed greatness; but, like I Charles Surface, felt that an auction should be I made of the entire lot. The pictures of those I whose memories will live the longest, are the I worst in the chamber; and taking them alto gether, they present a grotesque appearance of good, bad ana indifferent—the bad preponder ating to an almost incredible extent. But among them all there is the presentment of one whom the people of Pennsylvania de lighted to honor. He-was a statesman of days I gone by; honest and incorruptible, he went to j bis grave, leaving behind him, for his children to enjoy, the reputation of having been both a virtuous public servant, and an honest man. “Old Frank Shunk," as the people called him, was a model magistrate and a good man. When my turn came 1 was introduced to his excellency, Gov. Curtin. He seemed in fine health and spirits, was very affable, and full of buoyancy and conversation. He was rejoicing over our sucoeas under Gen. Batler, *nd was quite jubilant upon the occasion. The Governor and his principal assistant, R B. Roberts, Ksq., of your city, seemed crowded with business, but they appeared easy in their labors and masters of their situations. While in Harrisburg, I beard Gov. Curtin complimented very highly for the manner in which be dispatches the public business. His conduct in ignoring party, to some extent, in the distribution of his patronage is highly commendable. In these times, when rebellion is at our very doors, the statesman should rise above the partisan, and 1 am happy to believe that Gov. Curtin is endeavoring to do so. From Harrisburg I departed for this place, but this communication being already too long I will reserve what more I have to say for an other chapter—and so, for the present, fare well. ROVER. The Fourth and Fifth Pennsylvania regi ments, encamped about two miles north of the Capitol building, have had Gov. Curtin’s let ter read to them by the special agent Benton to examine and report their condition. They are already receiving new outfits, and every de ficiency will bq ipost scrupulously supplied. ftfc R H A V K 8 HOLIkIVD BITTEHS.

YoEk, Pa.. M»y 29th, 1861. My curiosity and patriotism being ifcfoh aug mented by the many able editorials and inter esting letters which I had read in your paper, I was prompted, last week, to leave the country, jump in the cam at your depot, and undertake a hasty trip from Pittsburgh to Bal timore. in order that I might be an actual “lookerson in Vienna." On Saturday oven* ing last I accordingly started, and have only reached this distance, but am so delighted and interested with what X have seen and heard that I cannot refrain from inflicting tho re membrance of them upon your readers. The first matter which attraoted my atten* tion was the stupendous magnitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad. What an immense conception and enterprise, and what multitu dinous ob ects of interest, beauty, grandeur, awe and wonder, does a r.de over it to Harris burg present i The night I left the city being quite dark, when I started, nothing attracted my attention,particularly,until near midnight. A few miles beyond Johnstown, upon our left, the moon arose in all her splendor, scatter ing her rays upon mountain, valley and hill side. For hours that glorious orb increased In brightness, until the sparkling little streams along the mountain seemed to return her her beams as bright and radiant as she sent them. Here was presented a most glorious landscape, strangely variegated by the rapid movement of the train. An artist having an appreciation of the picturesque and beautiful, could behold nothing more charming and gratifying than the scenes alluded to. But ere the eye is satis* fled, the train makes a sudden plunge through some rocky mountain pass, from whose sides bang signs of “gray antiquity," or is enclosed in utter darkness by the impenetrable gloom of a doleful tunnel. Suddenly we burst through this, and again find ourselves in the full glare of moonlight,but the objects around and above us altogether difforont from what we saw be fore. Instead of the smiling valley and rich cultivated Helds having trees covered with foli age and green, we see presented the lofty mountains, and the majestic hills, and imme diately are struck witn awe at the appear ance of “Antre* tajl. and dejujrta wild, Bough qu*m«B, rock* and hills, whose besda touch heaven."
