ROTATION IN OFFICE
The modern reading of "Rotation in Office,"
viz:-rotating-out of one' office into another,
judging frOns recent appointments, seems to
be as well understood by the " powers that
be," as it was formerly by the deMocrati§.
We seldom see an appointment announced,
that the recipient has not just been taken
from some other office, to the exclqsion, no
doubt, of other applicants equally deserving,

13 muds, We'ertipany from' Tiegm -- county - who --
have been lying at Camp Curtin for some
three weeks, expecting to be mustered into

that having been promised acceptance, under

of the volunteer company officers to the Gov
ernor; and no Lieutenants be appointed who
are over tWfitity-two years of age, is as absurd
as it is unjust, and is calculated to make the
volunteer service exceedingly unpopular. In ,
the re t ular - service where officers get grey
before they reach the grade of . Captain, it may
be well enough to start early. But volun
tsertt expect to retire to private life, when
thefr ferm of service expiies, and are there
fore, not-in the line of promotion. It is prop
er enough, that-Field-and Staff-Officers should
be appointed by the Commander-in-Chief;
bait, when citizens become soldiers for a time,
and submit themselves to the command of
ompany officers, those officers, as a matter
of-right, should be of their own selections.
SENSATION insienTctiEs
Although it is an axiom that figures and
editors won't lie, it is equally self-evident that
the Telegrapkwill ; and much mischief is done
its consequence of dishonest perversions of the
truth through that medium. The impositions
practised on the community at the present
time, by men wbo call themselves the "Agents
of the Associated Press," merely to sell their
penny extras, deserre the severest censure;
they not only destroy all , confidence in the
reliability of the daily news, but by their mis
statements as to the operations of.the forces,
carry grief and anxiety to many a circle of
relatives and friends,
On Surtday - list; extras were published con
taining telegraphic dispatches dated the 26th )
to the following effect :

eessive State Adminikrations, forgetting the
old adage, "in time of peace prepare for War,"
modeled and remodeled the militia system,
building up one year, and pulling down the
next, until, as the result of this ,continual
tinkering, they have been able to present a
militia system, without a system, officers with
out men, and State Arsenals without arms.

a single regiment into the field properly uni

money has been squandered on "jobbing"

Washington, as the " ragged backed Pennsyl-

There 'is no dearth of military ardor in.
'Pennsylvania, the patriotic fires of .1.8.12 are
kurning brightly as ever, among the mountains
of the old Keystone. Thousands of her sons
have already marched to sustain, the flag of
the Union against the traitors of the South,
and thousands more_ wait, but_the order to
march. Yet, the miserable policy which has
governed our public men for the last ten or
fifteen years, in regard to the militia of the
Commonwealth, renders the State unprepared
to respond effectively to the call of the Gov•
ernment. There are men ,enough—men with
thews and sinews, and stout hearts to use
them ; but, they aro undisciplined, unarmed,
unequipped ; Pennsylvania, with her vast re
sources, finds herself eclipsed even by Rhode
Island, and her sturdy sons, who would scorn
to quail before a foe, blush with shame and
mortification as they compare their tattered
garments with the perfect uniforms of the
Michigan troops. May we not hope that the
men now in office will learn wisdom from the
past as well as the present, and so shape their
course as to give no cause for further corn
plaint.
DEATH OF COL. ELLSWORTH
The death of this gallant young officer, is
universally lamented. Ills remains were em
bnl taken
by way of Philadelphia, to New York, accom
panied by, a guard of honor, receiving every
where, the strongest demonStrations of respect
to his character, and regret at the tragic ter
mination ea brilliant career.
CP.L.VlVtikr-kit-xxik.Ake.fiffifiergy-P/r2_ , L. rata
of age. He was born in Saratoga county, N.
Y. His father and mother, of whom he was
the only son, are both still living in Meehan
icsville, N. Y.
On the arrival of the train which conveyed
the remains of Ellsworth to his home,
fired, an d — th e
entire population of the surrounding country
assembled to evince their deep and universal'
eorrow. The procession was then formed, em
bracing a number of military and fire com
panies. Along the route many buildings were
ouded in black and all fla_s were at hal -
roast. The.roads were crowded with speota
tore.
After the customary funeral services at the
grave, in which several clergymen assisted,
the face of the lamented deceased was uncov•
-ered,_and the _people_ passedlin promisien_te
obtain a lasting, parting glance—the body
was then loviered into the grave, the men of
the company, formerly drilled by him—the
Chicago Zouaves—firing a money over it.
Then grounding their arms, they took shovels
and filled in the grave. Three volleys were
subsequently fired, and the multitude of
mourners sorrowfully dispersed.
The following incident, related by the friends
of Ellsworth, would indicate that he had a
presentiment of his death:
"On the night before his regiment left.
Washington for Georgetown, Ellsworth and
some of the captains of his regiment were in
quarters preparing for the morrow's march.
Capt. John Wildey, of Company I, was, per
haps, the favorite of poor Ellsworth. The two
soldier's, in the same room, were selecting
their apparel for the next day's march. Capt.
Wildey laid out his ordinary dress, and was
preparing to put it on.
Ellsworth had done the same thing, but, as
Wildey was robing, Ellsworth stood in a mus•
ing attitude.
"Why don't you dress yourself?" asked
Wildly, who was robing himself with consid
erable expedition. •
"I am thinking," said Ellsworth, slowly,
"in what clothes I shall die."
'Die, my dear fellow!' What do you talk
of dying for? Before you die you will see the
Amerionn — liag - flying -over-every-city- in the
Union, and all the secession ringleaders will
have been hung or exiled." -
Ellsworth shook his head sadly, and said
nothing fora moment. lie then smiled his
peculiarily sweet and pensive smile, and open
ing a trunk produced an-entire now uniform,
as yet fresh from the hand of the tailor.
"If I am to be shot to-morrow," said he--
"anti I have a presentiment that my blood is
immediately required by the country :7 U Is in
this.sult that I shall ti,ie;" and surting . it3 ac
tion to the word he donned the handsome uni
form, and in a few minutes was tis'gity dud
jocund-as- though, instead of preparing for a
battle, ho was preparing--for-the festivities of
a wedding party. Five. hours aftertiards a
bullet Bind through his heart, first cutting in
two a badge of engine company No. 14, of
New York, that glittered upon his breast."'
The following is a copy of the last letter
written by the gallant and lamented Colonel
Ellsworth, except one to his affianced bride,
written at. the same time;ljust- before moving_
on Alexandria,:

the United Stated, since the PreSident's
for 75,0 . 01), ttoops, of the 15th of April, al)
the gtate4 furnishing such troops. "In the
present condition of our country—of suspicion`
and' rebellion against union and good gov--
ernment, this practice seems to lie proper
and absolutely --pecessary,;zotherwise,
_ear
military could .
.not be relidd upon in any
conflict with the enemies or oppoiers olthe
Uniied-States—eneMies to the constitutional
rights of all the free states and free people
of our once happy hind., Not knowing any'
law or former custom_ _ which requires this
oath to be administered, we have made iti•
guides, and have obtained the following. in•
formation from a friend who thoroughly un
derstands the subject.
Every, man who enlists in the regular
army signs an eh/is/went, which ddscribes
his person, mentions the term for which lie'
engages, and embraces the oath of allegiance,
subscribed and sworn to before a magistrate,
according to the 10th article of war.
Volunteers nud militia, coming intothe
service of the United States, are engaged,
and held in that service by a Muster roll,
so called, which bears the names of all the
officers and men of the company ; they do not
sign that roll or-any-enlistment—individually,
and,-by the act of being mustered, per that
roll, they are bound to be governed by the
rules and articles of war, established by
Congress, which contains [Art. 10] the oath
of allegiance,, above mentioned.
In 1346, ashen Inspector General Churchill,
was mustering four regiments of Indiana
volunteers into service at New : Albany, the
officers, among whom was Col. James H.
Land, took their men before a magistrate to
have them sworn in, alledging that "their
soldiers would not obey orders without such
an oath." Ott receiving this information,
Gen. Churchill, to Save time and expense,
administered the oath of allegiance himself
to each company then and afterwards mus.
tered by him—this, then, Waslhe origin of the
custom.
In the , epring of- 1848, the-samo officer
was directed by the Secretary of War, W. L.
Marcy, to prepare instructions for iiustering
volunteers and militia into -service, and there
in [paragraphs 104-5,] the process of ad
ministering the oath of allegiancels directed,
approved by the Secretary, 12 June, 1848.
The paragraphs referred to, read as follow r
101. The mustering officer will ,then recom
mend to the company to take the oath ofallegi
ance contained in the 10th article of the Rules
and Articles of War, this being proper to
'lnsure subordination and faithful_serviee on
the part of the men, who have, by enrollment
and muster as volunteers, enlisted in the
service- - of---the Urritod—Stateri-2and—it--muy
have effect in securing the benefit of land
bounty' and pension. It is not absOlutely
necessary, but proper; reciprocally, that the
oath be administered : Yet the men are fully
bound to the service by the act of ntustering.
Th&,substance of the oath may be mentioned
beforehand if required. He will direct the
m-pan-y r offiecre in eluded- F t-o-ti cwt
heads and hold up their right hands, and
then, in a loud and very distinct, impressive
manner, administer the following. See also
articloo7 : •
105 "All and.each of you do solemnly swear,
(or affirm, as the case- maybe) that you will
. bear true allegiance to the 'Gaited States o
America, and that you will serve them hon
-estly and faithfully against all their enemies
or opposers whatsoever; and observe and
obey the orders of the President of the Uni
ted States and the orders of the officers ap
pointed over you according to the Rules and
Articles for the government of the armies of
the United States: so help you God."
Extract from the . Rules and Articles o
War.
" Art. 97. The officers and soldiers of any
troops, whether militia or others, being mus•
tered and in pay of the United States, shall,
at all times and in all places, when joined,
or acting in conjunction with the regular
force of the United States, be governed by
these rules and articles of war, and shall be
subject to be tried by court-martial, in like
manner with the officers.and soldiers in the
regular forces ; save only that each court
martial-shall be composed entirely of militia
officers."
" Art. 101. The foregoing articles are to
be read and published once in every six
months, to every garrison, regiment, troop or
company, mustered, or to be mustered in the
service of the United States, and are to be
duly observed and obeyed by all officers and
soldiers who are or shall be, in said service."
Volunteers and militia were also dischar
-ged from - thei r-term-a-service,....collentively
on muster rolls of companies,• made for that
purpose, until recently, and not furnished
with individual discharges. But at the close
of the Mexican war, It was provided in the In
structionS, above mentioned, [paragraph 80,]
that each man should be furnished with a
Discharge, signed by his captain •mid the
mustering officer,, which would show the term
of service and the faithful manner in which
he had performed his duty, protect Min
against chances of apprehension ; as4i.desec
ter, and bear testimony to his children of his
patricide service and of the same form near•
IY, as that given to enlisted soldiers. , ,
Par. 80. Whenever volunteers or militia,
are mustered for final discharge, on the expi
ration of their term of service, a Discharge
will be furnished for each Officer and soldier,
Whether present or absent.

tuoskrelliable,„and;as rending most _ to
_give nn
idea of the plans of those who have the direc
tionof affairs, as, they .are developed by the
movement of the troops.
On the 28d inst., 'orders were issued at
Washington for several of the regiments, to
hold thertselves in teadinoss for orders, and
it was supposed that those troops were intend
ed to advance into Virginia. About 10 o'clock
P. M. the National Rifles, under Capt. Smend,
crossed Long Bridge, which unites Washing
ton with Virginia, - acting as the tidvanoe guard
of the forces; these were follove_e_d_by other
companies of the District, and about one o'-
clock next morning the New York Second and
the Twelfth regiments, and the Michigan and
New Jersy brigades crossed the bridge, the
Virginia pickets hgvingpreviously been driv
en in by the advance guard.
These regiments took the road lending to
Fairfax CouKt House, about twenty miles from
Washington, whilst another one, the New Jer
sy, stopped at the Forks, a mile from Long
Bridge, to await orders.
An advance into Virginia was also made
from another point, viz: at the Potomac Ao
queduct at Georgetown. The Seventh New
York regiment was among these troops, and
after several hours march they occupied a
point between the bridge and the Columbia
Spring, on the line of the Washington and
Alexandria railroad.
About two o'olocit the regiment of "Zouaves
under COlonel Ellsworth, the 'Michigan regi-
- ment, under Colonel Wilcox, accompanied by
a detachment of United States cavalry, and
twopieces of Sherman's battery, under com
mand of Lieutenant Ransom, proceeded by
-way-of-Long Bridge-direot-for Alexandria__
Immediately on reaching Alexandria Col.
Ellsworth marched the Zouaves up into the
centre of the town, no resistance to their pro
gress -whatevef being offerdi.
Thus quiet possession was token of that
.;part of Alexandria in the name of the United
States by the portion of the troops immediate
ly commanded by Colonel Ellsworth.
Those commanded •by Colonel Wilcox, at
about the BRIM moment, as explained above,
marched into the town by the extension of the
Washington turnpike, the cavalry and artillo-
ry marching in two orthree ereete below. T
destination of both these detachments was the
depot of the Orange and Alexandria railroad,
which they instantly seized. They also found
near by, at Burch & Cook's negro pen, a
company of cavalry, commanded ,by Captain
who were made prisoners, not having heard
the alarm of the firidg of the sentries below.
Everythtng found tit the depot in the way of
rolling stock, etc., is of course in the hands of
the Government troopit holding it.
. "
- Proceeding up tow 7,• n * , Colonel Ellsworth saw
a secession flag waving over the Marshall
House, kept by James-Jackson, a well known
secessionist. Instantly entering the house,
with four or five of his men, Colonel Ellsworth
proceeded to the house-top, tore down the flag
and trampled it under foot.
In descending the stairs the party were en-
countered by the keeper of the house, double
barrel gun in hand. He raised the gun to
shoot the foremost Zounve. who knocked a
side his aim; when Jackson instantly turned
it upon Colonel Ellsworth, and firing, dis
charged the load of one barrel into the heart
of that gallant officer, who fell dead upon the
stairs. Jackson as quietly snapped the other
barrel at a Zouave standing next to Colonel
Ellsworth, when private Brownell, another of
the Zouaves, accompanying Ellsworth to take
down the flag, discbai•ged the contents of his
musket into Jackson's brain, bayoneting his
body as ho fell,. pinning it to the steps.
The troops on Arlington heights entrenched
themselves. The body of Colonel Ellsworth
was brought to Washington where the news of
of his death had produced intense excitement..

The Pennsylvania Troops at Wash-
Ington
The shameful abuses which have been prac
tised on the Pennsylvania volunteers by the
contractors for clothing, has awakened the
attention of Gov. Curtin, who has sent Mr.
Benjamin Haywood, of Schuylkill county to
Washington, under the following letter of
instructions :
- • EXECrTIVE
Harrisburg, May N, 1861.
BENJAMIN HAYWOOD, Esq., Pottsville•Pa. -
- DEAR SIR :—I learned from-General Biddle,
Adjutant General, and my Aid, Col. It. Biddle
Roberts, that the condition of the Pennsylva
nia troops now in Washington city was dis
graceful
. to the .State, and, is more
important, that the men were actually suffer
ing, both from*ant of proper clothing and a
sense of shame. ,It is, of course, useless to
say to you how mortified I am at such a con•
dition of things, and how determined that the
same shall be at once remedied so far as it
is in my power.
I requested you, last evening, to proceed at
once to Washington city and take charge of
this matter. You will bo kind enough to ex
amine fully into the characfer of the clothing
of every description which has teen furnished
to our regiments now there. Ascertain: the
l'lleftede•P•cle-of-e-Y-Prir-kind,.defect of
_material,
irregularity of color and faulty'manufacture,
and at once telegraph to me what is requisite
to make the men comfortable in any and every
may, and to place the regiments upon a foot•
ing, so far as comfort, health, and the army
regulations will permit, with any in the ser
vice of the United States. An agent will bo
sent with the clothing and other equipments,
nd my desire that
and it is my desire that you remain in Wash
ington city, or wherever the regiments may
be, until ynu see that my wishes and direc
tions in this. respect have been fully carried
out. I confidently believed that before this,
all these matters had been attended to faith
fully.,and well, and can now, while regretting'
that my exertions had beenso frustrated, only
press upon you energetic and prompt actioh
in this behalf for the comfort of our gallant
and patriotic citizens now in the ranks of
these regiments, and the preservation of the
State. Yours truly,
A. G. CURTIN.
Mr. Haywood has transmitted a report to
- Gov. Curtin, in which full details are given of
the condition of the regiments. The 25th,
Col. Cake, quartered at the Arsenal and Fort
Washington, are not badly off, having United
Slates uniforms The 4th, Col. Hartrauft,
and the sth, Col. McDowell, are suffering
greatly. The blouses and pants are of all
colors, and made of damaged goods of inferior
quality, mostly of "shoddy," and some of
"Kentuok jean." The blankets are of the
quality of ice blankets—not fit for horses.
The shoes are of wretched material. The
heels come off, and they are constantly ripping
Many are almost barefoot. The under cloth
ing is tolerable, but 'Mere is an insufficient
supply. The report among the troops is that
their appearance was so bad that Gen. Mans
field said they were not fit to take the held.
But, reallit,, at the bottom, they are in the
best trim for fighting—loyal, true, uncom
plaining, and making ffin of their miseries in
songs.
From the above report, it is evident that
Gov. Curtin will hove two duties to perform.
First, to remedy the evils complained of; and
second, to prevent their recurrence in future,
by a speedy and judicious riforni in the
clothing department.

DESTRUOTIVE FIRE• About half
past three o'clock, on Thursday morning, the
tenant house at Col. Wm. M Henderson's
mill, was entirely destroyed by fire. The
Union engine was on the ground, but, owing
to the distance, arrived too late to render
much service. The house was unoccupied
and the fire was doubtless the work of an in

dollars.
