- ■<
The pafl three been busy ones for
this company, what with constant drilling
pitching of tenU, we have have had little
time for anv other business.
General U. K. H.ckles, who has been to
Washington City on business pertaining to
the Brigade, returned yesterday, lie tele
graphed to the commander of the post to have
the Brigade drawn up in dress parade on his
arrival, bi t as he came two hours behind lime
the parade was noceasanly gone through wilhl
out him. B
The Brigade is rapidly tilling up. 1 heard
a conversation between General Sickles and
the Surgeon of the Brigade, in which the Gen
eral lolormed the Dr. that he desired that the
men should be inspected at once, as be would
move shortly from this. 1 judge we are to
proceed immediately to the seat of war, (Fort
reas Monroe, probably ) '
Tbe uniforms for our company arrived to
day, and we will go on parade to-morrow'
fully uniformed, and as there are 5 Odd stand
of arms at City Uall.New York, for this Brig,
ado, it will not be long beforo we are entirely
equipped. Our men are all well and enjoving
Iheuuelves, so those who were apprehensive
that we might be absorbed in this Brigade
were greatly mistaken, and I am happy to say
that we have never met io many warm friends
as since wo came D Mew York.
We have received tbe first position ol honor
in our rsg'm-nt, viz: the right of the tiftb.—
This is encouraging—more than we possibly
cculd expect. J
Next Sunday will be a great day in camp.
A flag will be taifed and a sermon pleached
t "Wtilito conclude with a grand dress pa-
We witnessed for the first time, to-day, the
drumming cut if cauip of a re rui. who'was
round guilty of theft. The Brigade was or
deredout to witness h: 8 pun ihment, formed
into two ranks open order, down which the
man was marched, one side of his head shaved,
a card on his back with the word thirf primed
on it. He was followed by the drummer,
playing the Rogues March,” it was a sorry
sight; one which I never wish to witness
again.
Capt. Brurm, of the Friendßiflef?, left this
evening for Pittsburgh. I understand he has
gone to recruit another company. Success to
him, for he is the right man in the right place.
They are not in our regiment, being attached
to the Ist. "We have a mats in our company
called the “ Kearns mesa," called after our pa
triotic lriend K. P. Kearns, of your office, to
■whom we are under many obligations.
I am sorry to say that two of our non com
missioned officers have left the camp, without
leave, to-day, for the purpose, I understand
of recruiting in Pittsburgh for this Brigade.
As I was tolcPto day, by Gin. Sickles, that the
Brigade was full, they will Bnd themselves
mislaken, and 1 hereby inform those who may
join this company that they will only have
their trouble ior their pains.
We received a dispatch today Iroin Colonel
Campbell, of the 12th Pennsylvania Regiment,
offering us a position in his regiment; it is 100
late now.
I have already written too lmg a letter, so
will abrupt!) I.ring this to a close. With my
beat respects, I will bid you good night.

Letters received yesterday from members
the Firemen’s Legion, at Mellville, Baltimore
county, Md., give the details of a tragic oc
currence on Saturday last Four members of
the “Legion,” Robert (alias “Loafet”) Bell,
Joseph Davis, John "W. AicClay aDd another,
named Knox, left “Camp Scott,” and going
to town, became intoxicated and when a file of
soldiers was cent for them, refused to
Some accounts say they had commited depre»
dations on the farm houses between camp and
the town. A second file of soldiers was equal
ly unsuccessful in bringing them back, one of
the soldiers having his musket wrested from
him. The guard was reinforoej and sent out
a third time, with orders from Capt. Stewart
to bring them in, dead or alive. On reaching
the insubordinate squad the Sergeant in com
mand ordered them into quarters repeating his
orders. They replied by firing at the guard,
Bell with a musket, the others with pistols. A
section of the guard, five men, was now order
ed to fire and did so. Bell fell, pierced by four
ball, two in the head and two in the abdomen,
coming out through the spinal column. The
other shot struck Knox in the arm. None of
the guard were injured.
Bell was a notorious character here, bad fig
ured extensively in police reports and was no
ted for his violence, especially when in liquor.
His violent death may be a warning to others
disposed to follow bis example.
A correspondent of the Gazette, referring to
the affair sa^s:
“Thus has the first mutiny been quelled, and
properly, although OapL Stewart feals it keen
ly; but he had no alternative, for this is not
the first time the same party have refused to
obey and resisted the guard. They have been
put on extra guard, and punished repeatedly,
but without any beneficial result. Captain
Stewart was exactly right in thus quelling the
first outbreak so promptly, arid bis course has
been fully endorsed by the entire staff, who
came down this morning early to investigate
the matter. Davis and Maclay have just gone

will be tried. If convicted they will be Bhot

Sword Presentation—An Interesting
Ceremonial. —Last evening one of the large
parlors of the Monongahela House was filled
by a party of ladies and gentlemen to witness
a pleasing and touching ceremony—nut an
uncommon one amid the incidents of these
times of war,—but in this iostance a peculiar
ly graceful and appropriate one. A beautiful
sword was presented to Lieutenant Colonel S.
D. Oliphant, by bis friends, as a token of their
love for the man and their esteem for the vir.
tues peculiar to tho soldier, which he so emi
nently possesses.
In a speech conceived in most excellent taste
and delivered with true manly feoling, the
sword was presented to Col. Oliphant by
Algernon S. Bell, Esq. of tbi> city. It w L
received by Col. Olipnaiil with deep feeling
aDd his reply was a model of calm el, quence!
such as only comes when the heart speaks out!
The gentlemen were college mates together
are both members ol the legal profession and
the friendship of their early days has been re
fined and strengthened by the growing es
teem of more mature years The occasion
was one which called forth feeling allusions to
by-gone days, and classic remembrances. The
generous impulses of both hearts poured out
in simple touching words Tnere was no
effort at display—no high fl iwn effort at big
round words, hut the men spoke to each other
as brother might speak to brother.
We never recollect to have witnessed asimi
lar ceremony more happily consummated --
The audience sympathized heartily with the
sentiments expressed by the speaker, and at
the close of the ceremony gavo their’ hearty
congratulations to the officer whom they had
assembled to honor.

Be.'ore Judges McClure, Adams and Parke
The case of Commonwealth »*. Philip Klein
indicted lor keeping a dm, rderly house, known
as the •• Molodeon," Smithlield nr-ei. WHe
called. The indictment was drawn under the
new penal code, section -Td of which provides
that "if any person shall keep and maintain
a common, ill governed and disorderly houso
or place, to the encouragement of idlonnss,
gaming, drinking or other misbehaviour, to the
common nuisance and distmbaiue of the
neighborhood or orderly citizens, ho or she
shall be guilty of a misdemoanor, and on con
viction, be sentenced to pay a line not exceed
ing live hundred dollars, or to undergo an im
prisonment not exceeding one year or both, or
either, at the discretion of the Court " Seve
ral witnesses le-tilled to the disordes'y charac
ter of the bouse, when defendant’s counsel,
Samuel W. Black and K P Jones, E qrs.l
withdrew the piea of not guilty and substituted
one of guilty. The jury was di-charged and
Saturday next fixed ior the sentence of defend
ant.
Julius Weisert, indicted under the same
clause, for keeping the ■■ Hod, White aDd
Bine," next door to the •• Melodeon," was
tried and convicted. Sentence deferred
Alex. Totten plead guilty to selling liquor
without license and was lined slu and costa.
John McGovern was tried for larceny and
acquitted
At the ai j lurnment oi Court Henry Rawie
was on trial lor illegal liquor selling.
The Reserve Corps to be Armed— The
Uniled States government has notified the
Governor of Pennsylvania that he 4 will
be furnished immediately with ten thous
and stand of arms, fur the purpose ot arming
the Reserve Curps. These arms are to be of
the best and most approved description, and
will be placed in the hands of the Reserve
Corps as soon as they are forwarded from the
General Government. The Slate authorities
are making arrangements to purchase a supply
of rifles. The arms to be furnished by the War
Department were applied for by the State au
thorities. Three thousand men are to be armed
and equipped this week, but whether this will
include any of the men at “Camp Wright” we
are not prepared to state.
A Good Susgestion. — A friend from New
England suggests that on the occasion of the
celebration of the approaching Kourth of July,
all the'bells in the city, not only those on en
gine houses and steam-boats, but those on the
ohurohes, which are largest and loudest, should
be rung during the firing of Lhe national salute
at sunrise Thiß is the old Revolution custom,
and it is Btill kept up in New York and New
England. We call the attention of the civic
committee, when appointed, to this matter, as
worthy of consideration.
Bask Failubi —The Medina Bank, New
York, has failed. Its capital is only $50,000,
its circulation is a little over $lOO,OOO, and its
deposits exceed that amount. As part of the
securities pledged for the redemption of the
circulating notes are bonds and mortgages, it
is quite likely that the bill.holders wili loso
something considerable. The bank has re
cently made some change in its ownership,
and been under depreciation for some time.
Dithi Bihvice at Camf Wilkies —Kev.
J. M. G-reene, of Middlesex, Mercer county,
preached at Camp Wilkins on Sunday fore
noon and afternoon, and conducted prater

Sunday School Celebration.— The Lib
erty street M. K. Sunday School will celebrate
the Fourth, as heretofore, at McKee’s Rocks.
The steamer “Echo” is chartered to convey
the school and guests from the city to the

Strange Suicide.—Last week, in Jerome
vllle, Ashland county, Ohio, George Vanni
inan, only nineteen years ol age, committed
euioide by shooting himself with a gun, having
been charged with orippliog the horse of a
noighbor while out gunning.

St. Locis, June 17.—T e following procla*
mation haa just, been isemrd in an extra Demo’
crat, to the citizens of Missouri, prior to the
proclamation issued by Jackson, of date
of 12th of Junp:
“It was well known to you that the Gov
ernor and Legislature sympathised in the
rebellion movement now in progress in the
country, and had adopted every means in their
power to effect a separation of this state from
the General Government. For this purporse
parties of avowed secessionist* have been
organizr-d into military companies through*
out the State, with the full knowledge and ap
proval of the Governor; the establishment of
encampments in the Stale at an unusual period
of the year, and authorised for an indefinite
period, could have had no other object than
the rone* titrating of a large military force to
be subjected to the provisions of the military
hill then in contemplation, and subsequently
they passed a bill so offensive to all poarable
inhabitants, and so palpably unconstitutional
that it could be accepted by those only who
were willing to conform to its extraordinary
provisions for the purpose of effecting their
cherishod object—the disruptionof the Federal
Government.
That bill provides for an obligation to the
State on the part of all persons enrolled under
its provisions irrespective of any obligation to
ihe United Stale*?, when the constitution re*
quires all State officers to take an oath of alle
giance tn the United Slates.
This, nf itself, is a repudiation of all the au
thority of the General Government, whose
Constitution is the Supreme law on the part of
1 the State Government and its officers, and such
citizens m might choose to adopt theprovi
•iions of the bill, and coupled as it was, on the
part of the Legislature and Governor, with
declarations hostile to its authority, ayrd in
sympathy with those who were arriyed
in a condition of actual hostility against it
could leave no doubt of its object to carry out
the provisions of this extraordinary act,having
in direct view hostilities to the federal gov
eminent. It was so denounced by Gen. Har
ncy, who characterized it as a secession ord
nance in his proclamation of the 14th of May
last. That proclamation doubtless gave rise
to an interview between Gen. Harney and
Gen Tricr.that resulted in an agreement'whiob
:t was hoped would lead to the,restoration of
tranquility and good order in your State,
that a repudiation of military, and all efforts
■f 111* military c-t the State under ils
provision was the basis of agreement, was
shown as well by the proclamation of Gon
Harney immediately preceding it, as will be
seen by the following paper submitted to Gen.
I’nce. containing the preliminary conditions
to an interview with him:
| Here follows the letter of Breed to Gen.
Pi.eo, published in the Democrat of Wednes-
day i«M.]
This agreement failed to deline specifically
ihe torms of the peace, or bow far a suspension
of the provisions of the military should form
a part ot it, though from toe express declare
lion of Gen. Harney at the time ot the con-
ference, as well as from the foregoing paper,
a ruspension of any action under the bill until
there could be a judicial termination of its
character by some competent tribunal, must, in
good faith, be regarded as a fundamental basisof
the negotiation. Nevertheless, immediately
alter this arrangement and up to the lime of
Gov Jackson’s proclamation inaugurating
complaints of attempts to execute the provts.
lons of this bill, by which the most exaspera
ting hardships have been imposed upon peaceful
and luyal citizens, coupled with persecution
and proscription, those opposed to its proviso
mns have been made tome as commander of
.be United States forces, here, and have been
carried to the authorities at Washington, with
appeals for relief from Union men in all’parts
OI the State, who have been abused, insulted,
an I. in some instances, driven from th«ir
to-111*8 I believe it to be the duty of a just
government to use overy exertion m its power
to give, upon this point, the policy of the
government, which is set forth in a glowing
communication from the Departmental Wash
ington:
AbjUTA.N'T GkNKBAL'S OvriCK, I
Washington, May 27th, 1861. /
Brigadier Gen W. S. Harney, Commanding
Department, West of St. Louis :
Sir—The President observes with concern,
that notwithstanding the pledge of the State
authorities to co-operate in preserving the
peace of Missouri, that loyal citizens, in great
numbers, continue to be driven from tboir
homes. It is immaterial whether these outrages
continue from inactivity or indisposition on
the part of the State authorities to prevent
them, it is enough that they continue to de
volve on VOU the duty of putting a stop to
them summarily by the force under your com
mand, to be aided by such troops as you may
require Iroin Kansas, lowa and Illinois, and
all the professions of loyelty to the Union by
the State authorities of Missouri are not to
be relied upon.
Hit'y I ave falsified those professions too
often, and are to,, far commilted to secession to
Ic admilled fo your confidence, and you can
only bo sure d their desisting from thoir wick
ed purpose- when it is not in their power to
prosecute You will, therefore, be un.
eeasingly watchful of their movements, and
not permit the clamors of their partizans, and
the oppuneta of wise measures already taken to
prevent you from checking every movement
against the government,however disguised un
der the pretended State authority. The autb
ority of the United States is paramount, and
whenever it is apparent that a movement,
whether by color of State authority or nol,
is hostile, vou will not hesitate to put it down’
I cigned] W L. Tuomas, Adi’t. Gen’l.
It is my design to carry out these matron,
'.'oils in lileir letter and spirit; their justice
and proprieiy will be appreciated by all who
1-eve taken an enlightened view of the rela
tions of the citizens of Missouri to the Gene
ral Government, nor can such policy becon
stru-d as at all disparaging to tho rights or
dignity of the State of Missouri, or as infring
ing in any sense upon the individual liberty of
its citizens. The recent proclamation oi Gov
Jackson, by which he has set at defiance the
authorities of the United States and urged you
lo make war upon them, it but the consumma
tion > i his treasonable purposes long indicated
by his acts and expressed opinions, and now
made manlf* ?t
If in suppressing those treasonable projects,
carrying out the policy of the government,
and maintaining its dignity, as abovo indicated
hostPitics should unfortunately . ccur, and un
happy consequences should follow. I would
hope that all aggravation of these events may
be diverted from tho innocent, and may fall
only upon the heads of those by whom they
have been provoked. In the discharge of
these plain hut onerous duties, I shall look for
tho continuance of the active co operation of
all good citizens, and I shall eipect them to
discountenance all illegal combinations or or
ganizations, and to support and uphold, bv
every lawful moans, the Federal government
upon tho maintenance of which depends their
liberties and the perfect enjoyment of all their
rights

Information, deemed reliable, has been re
ceived here to-day that the rebels abandoned
Leesburg yesterday, after burning all the cars
and locomotives belonging to the Alexandria
Hampshire and London Kail road terminating
there. This was probably induced by a
knowledge of the approach of Col. Stone’s
column, by way of Edwards’ Ferry, and the
fact that the federal forces from Alexandria
had rebuilt the bridges, stocked that end of the
road and had a telegraph completed to a die -
tance of fifteen miles towards Leesburg.

Washington City, Juno 17.—1 t having
beea determined, as announced in the general
orders containing the plan of organization of
the volunteer forces called into the service of
the United States, that the President shal; ap.
point by, and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, one Surgeon for each Brigade. The
Secretary of War has instructed the Surgeon
General immediately to convene in this city
after due notice, an Army Medical Board,
whose duty it shall be to examine /all persons
referred to by the Department as applicants for
Brigade Surgeon and report the result of such
examinations. The appointments will he
made only from and among those who shall
be so examined and reported by the board as
qualified. Another order has been issued by
the Secretary that the Surgeon General shall
institute a similar board. io consequence of
various complaints having reached the De
partment of the incompetency of regimental
surgeons, who havo been appointed either oy
the commanding officers or by the Governors
of Lbo S ales, the board is to examine surgeons
of whom complaint has been made in order to
secure their dismissal if found incompetent.
The Eastern Pennsylvania Railroad has
made an ofler which has been accepted to
receive government bonds in payment for
the transportation of troops and munitions
of war over the route between New York
and Harrisburg. Edward Clymer, the Pres
ident of the company, in his letter says:
“Should all the transportation companies
unite in a like offer, it would necessarily re
lieve the pressure upon the National Treas
ury, and also tend La inspire confidence in
the credit and faith of the government.
The bids were opened at the Post Office
Department today for carrying the mails
I on route. No. 14*26 for four years from the
first of duly next. For that of supplying
the branch Post Office city of New
York, there were 63 bidders ins urns of from
£1790 to $12,000 per annum. The contract
was awarded to William Wray, at the for
mer price. This service has heretofore been
performed by G. D. Morris at $3500 per an
num.
The withdrawal of Mr. Burlingame from
the Austrian mission was not in consequence
of any protest on the part of Austria, but
of a delicate unofficial intimation that the
appointment was not agreeable to that gov-
ernment.
Henry Bill, of Virginia, army
paymaster at New York, has resigned.
A gentleman who rude down the tow path

Lieut. Col. fiverett drew
men were killed
he water out of the canal in front of his po
sition and used the tow path fora breast work,
which gave him a decided advantage in post
lion. The rebels were driven off.
A government messenger who arrived this

St. Lous, June 17.—As part of Colonel
Kallman’s regiment of reserve corps were
returning from the North Missouri Kail
road about eleven o'clock this morning,
and when opposite the Recorder's Court
Room, on 7th street, between Olive and Lo
cust, a company near the rear of the col
umn suddenly wheeled and discharged
their rifles, aiming chiefly at the windows
of the Recorder’s Court and the second
story of the adjoining house, killing four
citizens, mortally wounding one, and
slightly injuring one.
The statements regarding the cause are
very conflicting, one being that a pistol
shot was fired from the window of a house
at the corner of 7th and Locust streets,
which took ellect on the shoulders of one
of the Captains, when lie gave the word to
fire; another is that a soldier accidentally
discharged his rifle in ihe rank, at which
the company became frightened, and dis
charged a lull volley on the crowd on lire
sidewalk and windows of the houses.
The Recorder’s Court wss in session,
crowded with prisoners and spectators. Police
Officer Pratt was shot in the side, and died in
10 minutes. Deputy Marshal Franzo re
ceived three balls in bis l-gs and will undoubt
edly die. The names of the other persons,
who were killed on the pavement below, are
not ascertained- Tho window just behind'Re
corder Peer’s desk was riddled with bullets,
and tbe broken glass was scattered over his
desk. Tbo bodies of the killed were removed
to the Health i dice, where a thorough investi
gation will bo had, when the particulars will
be given
The Federal force now engaged in the into-
of thin Stale consists of upwa-ds of 10,
000 men, 2,500 of whom are stationed at Her
mann and Jefferson City; 3,200 at Kolia, the
terminus of the Southwest branch of the' Pa
ciflo Kail road; 2,600 at St. Joseph and along
the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad; 1,000
on the North Missouri Railroad, and 1,000 at
Bird’s Point, opposite Cairo.
In addition to this there is a force of 2,600
remaining at St. Louis, wbleh could be in
creased to iOOO in a few hours by accessions
from neighboring camps in Illinois. These
troops hold the entire portion of the State
North of the Missouri river, the South-east
quarter lying between the Mississippi, and a
line drawn Southward from Jefferson City to
Arkansas border, giving the Federal govern
ment the important points of St. Louis, Han
ibal, St. Joseph and Bird’s Point as a basis of
operation with rivers and railrotds as means
of transportation. Nothing is known of the
movements of tho troops above Jefferson City.
The Warsaw, Mo., Democrat says that
Judge Johnson will not take his seat in the
U. 8. Senate in July. It also states that Sen
ator Polk will not take his seat.
St. Luis, June 1.. —lt is impossible to ar
rive at the truth relativo to tho cause of the
firing upon the citizens to day by the volun
teer troop. Scores of statemems of eye wit
nesses say that pistol shots were repeatedly
fired from the windows of the house adjoining
tho Recorder’s Court room, and a number as
sert that no pistols were fired from any quar
ter first, and that the only shot before the gen
eral firing, was the accidental discharge of a
rifle in thn ranks. The wound of Captain
Roische, however, is of such a oharaeter as to
induce the belief that he was shol from the 2d
or 3d story window, the ball entering his coat
just back of the point of the lert shoulder, tear,
ing the skin across the spine and passing out
at the lower point of the right shoulder blade
Two or three membersof the same oompany
are said to be wounded by buckshots. A large
number of witnesses have been summoned to
attend the Coroner's inquest to-morrow morn
ing, tvhon it iB hoped that the facts will be
learned The following are the additional
names of those killod : Jabez Perris, Curran
Irscy, Luici Celia, aud a man named Burns
of Chicago. Much excitement exists but we
hear oi no demonstration of any character
having been made.
Boston, Jane 17. — The anniversary of the
