MILITARY RESERVES The organization of-a military reserve for this city, consisting of one regiment; at least, is beginning to be agitated, since the late call by the Governor for additional forces. That such an undertaking would be there is, of course, no ques tion. When Governor Curtin asked the Legis lature for means to equip a reserve corps of fifteen thousand' for Pennsylvania, he ex hibited sagacity which is now being appre ciated. Although the United States Gov erninent had announced that she required no more troops, these reserves were wanted and that too, badly, by the time they had began to feel themselves fitted for service. These reserves now compose one of the finest divisions of the Lamy of the Potomac. Philadelphia organized and maintains a very handsome volunteer contingent, a portion of which is now in Washington, and along the most threatened portions of the Potomac. The New York Seventh, eigh teen hundred strong, in capital condition, ready for the march, immediately responded to their Governor's proclamation, and were'ready in less than four hours after it was made. In this city, had the spirit which aroused our people last summer been cultivated, we might now have one or two regiments, admirably drilled, and ready for service upon the mere announcement of their ser vices being required. But it is not too late to begin the raising of a regiment yet ; there are no obstacles in the way that we are aware of; the absurd cry of "Home Guards" should not deter any one from joining, because no one can tell how soon a "home guard" may become d soldier of the Union. In order, therefore, to antici pate suCh a contingency, we Should have a military organization here, composed of infantry, caValry and artillery. This is a propitious moment for the commencement of such an undertaking, and we feel quite certain that if a few competent and spirit ed men will take hold of it, it will be eminently successful. The necessary funds for the success of so desirable and neces sary an undertaking could be raised in twenty-four hours, and the. regiment itself be Ally organized in a few weeks. It is not impossible that we may need an or ganization of this sort for offensive or de fensive purposes: at all events, it will be • men - CM •••• o • • ti •.• •Ito I 11Poi ld fense of the 'Cilium This Tami. tion, if no other were offered. should be sufficient to prompt the organization of one home regiment, at least. MASSACHUSETTS. A mere sojourner in the United States would be impressed with the idea that Massachusetts was carrrying on the war against the--rebels almost—exclusively.— That State certainly furnishes all the ma "''''''%,eterielfor Northern agitation, but - we deny her cliata4o anything like patriotism. In the war with l yexico she used- to talk about the valor of her "Yankee soldiers," hut those "Yankees," like the soldiers she has sent to the present war, were near ly all enthusiastic sons of Hibernia. These men, like their companions in arms from the other States, all enlisted to preserve - the Union ; but the genuine Yankee Gov ernor of Massachusetts thinks that our government can get no more soldiers from that State unless the policy of Hunter's proclamation be proclaimed as the object of the war against the rebels. Had • Massachusetts and her subtle teachings against the genius of our institutions; and had South Carolina, with her rebellious principles, both been swept from the face of the earth twenty-five years ago, we would not now be reaping_ by civil war the result of their extreme, impracticable and destructive doctrines. Mr. Wailsivorth, yesterday, in the United States House of Representatives, referring to this pompous State .of Massachusetts, and the reply of her - Governor to the War Department's request for troops, pointedly remarked, that in forty days, " Kentucky had sent more troops into the field than Massachusetts, — although the latter has twelve representatives here to the latter's ten. If the Governor of Massachusetts is tired of the contest, and will not freely contribute of her troops without condi tions, give Kentucky an opportunity to do so, and, though late the hour, she will affix no conditions.. We have enlisted for the war and intend to fight it out, and we - ne - v - er intend to .ground our arms till rebellion is crushed to the earth and all the States areTupited under the Conan _ tion." GEN. BANKS The repulse of Gen. Banks, like our . defeat at Buil Run, is likely to result in great good. It requires defeats rather than victories to stir our people to great exertions. The call for volunteers by the President to fill up decimated regiments, through the recruiting offices of the coun try, was likely to be a failure. It gave such people.as Governor Andrew an op portunity to r alicais the matter and impose conditions, but the iiikerse settled that in stantly, and the.' Grovansment will 'now have - offelcd more men than can be ac cepted. Tile - - as conducted by General "..askh, - will be pronounced the most ruasterl* achievement of the war.

Upon this point Col.. Wright i.., quite explicit; 'he says : "I assume that every loyal than is hi fit vor of maintaining the national credit. I so, to meet the interest on the immense debt already incurred. and that which must be unavoidable added to it, will give it. taxation to our heart's content, without putting on the additional burthen of the emancipation of slaves. It 111, enough in either event withoutthe addition of million. for emancipation." On Saturday last there was a Congres sional election in this State, in the district composed of the counties of Bucks and Lehigh, for the unexpired term occasion ed by the death of Hon. Thomas It. Poop er. The Democratic candidate. J. 11. Stiles. w•as elected by over 500 majority ; this is a change of nearly a thousand since the last Presidential election. The peculiar feature of the canvass which resulted in Mr. Stiles' election was the effort of his opponents to identify him with thelreason of John C. Breckinridge; but the quiet, slow and easy, common sense people of the counties of Bucks and Lehigh were not to be bamboozled by any such transparent villainy. The first to start this cry of Breckinridge sympathy against the Democratic candidate was that concentration of corruption and falsehood John IV. Forney. In his paper of the day prior to the election, when it was just the time to circulate a damaging fusehood, ho announced Mr. Stiles as one having spa pathy with the Southern traitors: and, closed by informing them that it' Stiles was elected, they could not blame him for not having given timely notice aids treason. Mr. Stiles, in his speech at Allentown, defining his position before a very large meeting of his fellow citizens, denounced the Southern traitors; announced his dc• termination to use all means within hi; power to crush rebellion, and support the Administration in its avowed parpo,,es tor that objeet. lint Mr. Stiles did nut !Pima us anxiety l'or the emancipation of four millions of slaves; he did not wink at tine late sueeessfill experiments upon the I 'ni ted States Treasury he did not inform his hearers that denouncing the corrup tions 'untie manifest . by the reports of Con gressional Committees was, as Forney says, opposing the government : and because Mr. Stiles did not do these things, he must Traitors.

Let Forney stick a pin in that ; the an nouncement is significant. BANKS' RETREAT. Upon the receipt of the sudden and un expected news in Washington Of Genvral Banks' retreat before the rebels in Vir ginia, Senator Davis, of Kentucky. re marked that "he believed Gen. Stanton had taken charge of the armies." In the par ticular ease in question it. appears Olathe Kentuckian's remarks were applicable. The following note is from the special cor respondent of the New York World, who was at the time it Was written with Gen. Banks' column. From the date and loca -1 tion it will be seen that it was written pre vious to the retreat, and proves that Gen. Banks was not to blame. It will be seen that Banks informed the War Department, by telegraph, of the wheteabouts of the re bel forces under Jackson, and asked for reinforcements-to attack him; the response was that the War Department had "posi tive information" that Jackson was away "at Fredericksburg, threatening Gen. Mc- Dowell." The sympathies of the multitude, who are anxiously awaiting the final blow that is to crush the rebels—not only in Vir ginia, but throughout the entire South— are necessarily with our glorious soldiery. We are, consequently, jealous of the eter nal interference, by politicians and the War Department, with the plans of our Generals; and complaints upon this head have been accumulating ever since Mr. Stanton took the place of Cameron. We are entirely satisfied to grant our late fel low-citizen credit for great ability, energy and patriotism; we fear, however, that like thousands of others, "who never set a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle, knows more thane, spinster." Re is laboring under that popular, though lamentable delusion, that he is, in military strategy, the embodiment of our entire tactics. This continual interference by the War Department in the plans of our leading Generals, is very discouraging, and•not to be excused by a stately Sena torial announcement that "the President assumes the responsibility. — But, we have neglected the communication from the World, relative to the point in question. Smuusarao, Va., May 22. "Gen. Banks telegraphed to the War Department that information that could be relied upon tad hien received of the posi tion of Jackson's and Ewell's forces, and asked permission to combine h is own force with Blenker'l and Shields' to attack them. He received the reply that they had posi tive information that Jackson was then near Fredericksbur g with Ewell, threaten ing McDowell. A deserter, who came in and desired to be sent to Illinois, brought the information to Gen. Banks upon which his request was founded. He told a very straight story, and appeared to be very reliable. He gave a Particular ac count of what Jackson had been doing ever since we left him near Harrisonburg. He went through Brown's Gap toward Charlottesville, and than took the railroad for the.

GOVERNOR ANDREWS. That unfortunate fanatic, the tiovernor of .11a-iachusetitt, is reeeiving the contpli• mews suggested by his idea of the war, when contrasted with that of Governor Sprague, the Detaneratie Executive of Rhode Island. The Philadelphia biro err says : To recover the ground lost by his silly response to the Secretary of War. Gov. Andrew, under the impidse of the second thought, has issued a proclamation in a highfalutin style of siiread-eagleism more befitting South Carolina than Massachu setts, and even in this also he talks like a States Rights orator on the rampage. His proclamation is dated Sunday night, eleven o'clock, and in it he calls out the whole militia of the State to meet in Boston Common on the next day, because Gen. Banks has been attacked and to relieve and avenge their brethren. Contrast this noisy and meaningless pro duction with the prompt and business -like responses front the other States we have named: Take that from Gov. Curtin, Gov. Yates, of Illinois, or Governor Mor gan, of New York, but particularly the special order of Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island. In the limit named order the Gov ernor simply directs commanders. to as• semble their commands immediately and report each one Company to be formed into a regiment for three months service at Washington ; and after fifur short senten ces concerning military details, he con cludes by telling his people that "the ne cessities the country demand that the call shall he met by the people of Rhode Island with energy and promptness."— This document when contrasted with An drew's last fulmination, exhibits, in broad light, the difference between a real Gov ernor and earnest patriot and a fussy boss politician. And Sprague's order will have its effect, as his work generally. does, for, it will bh remembered, _that within less than one week after he received the Presi dent's call for troops, on Monday, April 15th, 1861, he had called his legislature together, procured an appropriation of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, adjourned that body, sent one splendid regiment off with Burnside, anu was him self in this city on Saturday, April 20th, on his way to Washington at the head of another, Strange Cause of Insanity.

Marshal Me- Phail, with several officers, arrived at Easton on Saturday evening , and took lodgings at the Easton hotel. Early on Sunday morning the purpose of their visit was rumored, and a fellow named :McNabb was actively engaged in exciting the people. Some called on the Marshal and stated that the attempt would be re sisted ity at least 109 armed men. On Monday the excitement was intense, and threats of violence were repeated.— Still the officers were patient and quiet, but determined to make the arrest or die in the attempt. The Marshal telegraphed the state of affairs to Gen. Dix, who sent 125 or the Delaware Ragiment. They reached Nye Landing yesterday at noon. The Marshal met them, and gave an order for , thein to he in town in an hour. In the meantime the Marshal and his officers went to the Court House, where the Judge was presiding, and told hint that he must consider himself under arrest and a prig , oner. p The J udge demanded his authority for such a proceeding, and was answered by the authority of the United States. The Judge replied that hedid not regard that authority under the cmciimstances. - Here a call was made for the Sheriff, but the crier was soon stopped, and one of the officers ascended the steps to arrest the Judge. The Judge resisted and kicked the officer, who drew a revolver and struck the Judge on the head with it, Inflictin g a slight wound. Other o ffi cers arrested Mr, Powell and two citizens, William McNabb and Elixir Pascault. The proceedings were prompt. and decisive, and all was accomplished in a few minutes.
