Iliphew of ox-President Buchanan, has been

trig! attorney for, that district.
GMAT's Lor's Boos.—The oopy for July
tits just been laid on our table, oontiitning the
antral variety of useful and interesting reed
its; matter and embellished with beautiful
illustrations. With this number, comes the
important announcement that• the volume from
July to December, will be sent to suscribers
St ass poiran. This Volume will comprise
*la beet six numbers of iho year, and , will
contain seven steel plate engravings, and all
the fashion plates. -
Tun NEW STATE LOAN.—The new E per cent
fitskto loan for three millions of dollars has
been taken at par, by Pennsylvania capital
ilittand monied institutions. This event is
• tulojopt of sincere congratulation on several
Mounts. It proves the solid confidence of
the capitalists of the community io_the means
audfaith of the State; it proves that for a
good security money in millions is at our com
mand; and it proves what is more vital than
all, the patriotic spirit and power of Pennsyl
/Mao. The whole of the bido amounted to
three millions and ninety thousand six hun •
dred and fifty dollars, all at par, except four
tun hundred dollars.
terWe have no desire to multiply
word's with the editor of the Volunteer, on
the subject of ar my appointments, or ar
my contracts. If he thinks he can sub
terve the interests of the democratic par
ty, by the wholesale denunciation of those
ttim at the head of public affairs, we have
objection; especially as his propensi
ty to find fault with everything, unless
Sanctioned by democratic usage, is so
well known, that no injury is, likely to
trise from it, unless he should suffer him
biMself, - from the recoil of his own
gun. He says "we will do all in our
ewer to assist on with this unfortunate
War, s and to orush out rebellion, but we
Will not be blind to the iniquities of the
Republican party." That is all right; but
while-he keeps his eyes wide open to the
faults of the Republicans, he must not
wink - at the . shortcomings-of oirn 4 gOt
!ideal friends. Unfortunately for his
present position, the only two men yet
named as incompetent or fraudulent, in
connection with the Pennsylvania volun
teers, are both prominent democrats !
MORTON MOMICEIAEL.—The name of
this gentleman has been mentioned as a
suitable candidate to fill the vacancy in
'Congress, caused by the appointment of
Z. Joy Morris, as resident . minister at
Oomitantinople. In reference to the nom
ination of Mr. McMichael, the Lancaster
Union, says:
"A more eloquent and pleasing speak
or--amore thorough and enlightened, ad
vocate of sound principles—a firmer pa
triot and more true-hearted man, could
not be found. His long identification
with the business interests, and his full
information of the very best public senti
ment of Philadelphia, indicate him as the
4ost,,appropriate person to represent her
j the national councils. The times de-
Mond the services of the best men; and
in point of qualification, intelligence, in
tegrity and every other accomplishment
that would adorn a public station, Mr.
McMichael stands unsurpassed, if not un
rivalled, among the eminent citizens of
Philadelphia.

ports that Martinsburg had been previ,Thsty_
occupied by the United States forces. If so,
it must have been by the advance of General
Morris' brigade, coming from the direction of
Cumberland.
The Confederate forces at Leesburg are re
ported to have retired from there on Saturday
morning, after burning and,, .destroying the
depot, cars - and locomotives of the Alexandria
and Leesburg Railroad. Col. Stone's column
of Federal troops soon after entered and took
possession of the town. The rumored collis
ion there between the Federal and Confederate
forces is not confirmed by any reliable intelli
gence. .
In the meantime there Is an active move

Several regiments having arrived there within
the last week.
From Fortress Monroe we learn that rumors
prevailed of an intended demonstration in

federates were landing trooo at a point six
miles above Newport News Point and on the

the Sixty ninth Regiment, on returning to
their camp at oneo'clook to-day captured sev
en SeeeSsion soldiers, ono of whom was a Cap

JEFFERSON arY, - Missouri, June 16.—The
Citpital of Missouri was taken possession of at
two i:iclock yesterday afternoon, on the arri
val of the steamer Jatan, by five companies of
Col.-,Blair's regiment of Missouri Volunteers,
under command of Lieutenant Colonel An•
drews, and a company of regular artillery,
under Captain Totten, all under command of
Brigadier-Oeneral Lyon. The balance of the
force remained on board the J. C. Swan until
further orders.
Acompnnyof regulars, under Major Corant,
thoroughly searched the country for contra
band articles, and found some wheels and
other parts of arliltery oac'i4ages.
No violence was offered, but on the contrary,
the boalkcontaining the Federal troops were
received with enthusiastic cheers by a large
concourse of the citizens.
Governor Jackson and the other leading Se
cessionists left hero on the steamer White
Cloud at four o'clock on the afternoon of the
. 13th inst. - Much disappointnient was mani
fested by the troops on finding that the enemy
had fled. The officers, however, expressed no
surprise, they having been previously inform
ed of the evacuation.
The troops under command of Lieut.-Col.
Andrew are now-occupying the State House.
One or two houses have been searched for se
cession flags, but none have been found.
Sr. Louts, June 17.—Report says that Brig
adier Gon. Slack, while mustering troops into
the service of the State at Chillicothe, Mo.,
was taken prisoner by Col. Curtis with his
United States volunteers, on their vvay_to St.

-Gen Lion hail issued a strong proclamation,
pointing out the determined efforts of the Gov
ernor and legislature to force the State out of
the Union and the unconstitutionality of the
military bill.
Ho rehearties the result of the conference
with Gov. Jackson, and states that attempts
to execute the provisions of the military bill,
have impoged most exasperating hardships on
peaceful and loyal citizens, with persecutions
and proscriptions of those opposed to its pro :
visions.
Complaints of these nets, hesays, have been
received by him as Commander of the Federal
forces, and also seat to
.Washington with ap
peals for rellef-from.Union-men who, in many
instances, have been driven 'from the State.
He gives his orders received from the Presi
dent, stating that it devolves upon Gen. Lyon
to stop them summarily by the forces under
hie command, with such aid , as may be re
quired from Kansas, lowa, and-Illinois.
On Sunday afternoon a train of cars was
dispatched frore., Alexandria, on the Loudon
Railroad,_havidg on hoard the let Ohio'Regi

Schenck. When they reached Tiemia, about
fifteen miles from Alexandria, they were fired
on from.a,-,masked battery, manned by 1600

and wounded. The following is the offiehil
account of the engagement:

The engineer, when the Men left the cars,
instead of retiring slowly, as I ordered, de
!ached his engine with one passenger oar from
the rest of the disabled train and abandoned
us, running to Alexandria; and we have heard
nothing of him since. , Thus we were deprived
of a rallying point, and of all means of accom
panying the wounded who had to be carried
on litters and in blankets.
We wait here holding the road for reinforce
ments. The enemy did not pursue us.
I have ascertained that the enemy's force
nt Fairfax Court house, about four miles from
here, is now about 4,000.
When all the batteries opened upon us Ma
jor Hughey was at his station on the foremost
plat form of the car. Col. McCook 'was with
me in one of the passenger cars. Both of
these officers, with others of the commissioned
officers and many of the men, behaved most
coolly under this galling lire, which we could
not flank or turn, from the natura of the
ground.
.'The approach to 'Vienna is through a deer,
long cut in the railway. In leaving the cars,
and before they could rally, many of my men

"Brigadier General."
WASHINGTON, June 18.-8 P. M.—A mes
stinger ha&just, arrived from the scene of con
flict, and reports that thirteen of the Ohio sol
diers were killed and front thirty to forty
wounded. The party have fallen back, in
good order. about two miles from the scene of
confliot, and this morning were reinforced by
the First and Second regiments of Connecticut
volunteers, the New York Sixty ninth, and the
New York Nineteenth. Other regiments are
under marching orders.
A dispatch to Gov. Seward says that there
were 24 killed and wounded, but all the ac
counts are evidently greatly exaggerated.
From anotheemessenger-1 learn Char ten
were killed, twenty wounded, and four miss
ing. The cannon mounted at the masked bat•
tery were six-pounders, but were so placed
that (hey completely raked the road.
It is supposed that there were at least fif
teen hundred men in the battery, mostly, if
not n( all, South Carolina troops.
Several of the dead bodies have been brought
into Alexandria, and some of the wounded
have-arrived •here, where they will-get- better
surgical attendance than at the former place
From Texas and Mexico„
NEW ORLEANS, Juno 14—Texas advices say
that, Cortinas was attacked about, a mile from
Redmond's Ranchero by a force under Captain
Bernardes, and completely routed, killitrg scv
en of his men, wounding several, and dispers
ing the balance. Cort inns escaped with about
ten of his men into Mexico.
It is understood that'a revolution has been
inaugurated in Tamaulipas by Gupneo, the
defeated candidate for Governor, who 'has is
sued a proclamation declaring that he had re
moved the question as to who should be Gov
ernor from the ballot box to the sword. It
was believed that the revolution would become
general, and that Gupneo would unite his
forces with those of Marquesses and Mejea,
who have been setting the Juarez Govern
ment at defiance. -
Highly Important to-IDdltors and Pub,
@DM
Washington, June IC—The government
finds itself seriously embarrassed in the man
agement of the present military campaign by
the premature publication of sufficient info r•
motion to disclose its purposes to the public,
south as well as north. Portions of its plan
for the movement of troops have thus beeh
made known, en] enabled the rebels to frus
trate the 6 uccessful execution of theln. In
consequence of this, it is no longer disposed
to allow this to bo done, end yet it is unwilling
:to exclude the press from the advantages afford
ed by telegraph, and, therefore, is reluctant
to absolutely prohibit the transmission of dis
patches fur publication.
In view of this state of affairs it is suggested
that the editors of the leading journals iu Phil
adelphia, New York, Boston and other cities,
immediately meet of Washington, and come to
some satisfactory understanding which will
relieve the government from further embar
rassment, and yet afford the press all the fa
cilities it can reasonably desire under the cir
cumstances.
Washington, June 14.—The most extrava
gent and improbable rumors are from day to
day circulated from Washington, which al
;hough uneutitled to belief, occasion much
painful apprehension and inquiry. Trifling
events are often magnified into importance,
and imaginations are given the forms of reali
ties.

WASHINGTON, June 19.
Senator James Lane arrived here from - Kan•
sac last evening, and has had an interview
with the President and -Secretary of war and
has been authorized to raise a brigade in
Kansas to operate on the borders in defence
of the country now much exposed in that
quarter. Senator Lane says the right mak eri
al for a brigade is abundant in Kansas, and
that the brigade can be organized in fifteen
days, seleceted principally from among those

II becomes the upholders of such vultures,
fresh-from the Camp in which they fattened so
long and so fully, to attempt to deceive the

that the national game parks will fided a lon g
reprieve to allow any such depredat ions no t hey
have lately suffered. Show of patriotism
comes badly from any man whose only hope
seems to lodge in the recuoitatiou of a defunct
party ;-..whose only ambition is to share the
loaves and fishes, even at the expense of the
honor and liberties of the nation. They should
not attempt to draw parallels or compiriso f ns
with any others, or be envious, as it perusal of
their own past misdeeds, will certainly furnish
sufficient evidence to ease their minds that
any successions may surpass their frauds and
villianies. As to their fear that our poor sol
diers may meet with mishaps through the in-
capacity of their leaders, we have only to say
that the situation in which the late garrison
at Sumpter was placed, while these same
croakers were in power, will not be more than
equalled by any trap our'troops can now fall
into.

would not refuse under Lincoln. We fear his
elegant weekly is not fully appreciated in this
neighborhood, nod would do better if transfer

story short, does not hia whole course look as
if, under his show of patriotistu and zeal" for
others, he was trying to see how near a man
can go to treason without its actual commis

Our Adopted Citizens

Irish, Scotch, French, Hungarian, Italian,
emigrants from every country in Europe, are
largely represented in'tha army ; and many of
them having seen service, form a most efficient
portion of the Federal troops. A 'considerable
part of the Erie Regiment is composed of this
class of persons. After such exhibitions of
patriotism by men born on foreign soil, we

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT:—On Tuesday
last, as the noon train for Philadelphia
was in the act of starting from the depot
at Harrisburg, an old lady, named Mrs.
LElntou, residing near Cliurchtown, in
this county, attempted to cross to the
platform, in front of the engine; an effort
was iiaade by some one to pull her back,
but too late, her foot was caught, and she
was thrown down, the engine passing over
her right allele, entirely severing the foot.
She was immediately carried into one of
the rooms in the Pennsylvania Rail Bond. ,
building, and a physician was summoned,
who found it necessary to amputate the
leg below the knee.
"A VSI T TO WEST CHESTER AND
CAMP WAYN E.—On Monday last, we
paid a flying visit to Camp Wayne at
West Chester, where we arrived about 7
o'clock in the evening. We found the
'three-Carlisle-Companies enjoying com
fortable quarters, and the wafin greeting
..weseceiYed on all sided, was strongly indi
cative of how they appreciate hotne associa
tions. Camp Wayne is ideated about one
onrth of a mile south of the town, on
nigh' ground, with abundance of pure wa-
ter; the men are quartered in.board tents,
welt floored and covered; and the interior
fitted with_ Letitia, raised _smile two feet.

all the apparent comfort of an old soldier.
Seventeen companies had already ar
rived, and more were expected. Oa the
9th, the Ist Regiment of the "Pennsyl
vania Reserve Corps," was tli-med at this
Camp, by Gen. MoCALL, by the election
of •R. RIDDLE. Roulmrs, of Pittsburgh,
al Colonel, Capt. MclNrint:,. of West
Chester, as Lieutenant Colonel, and Capt.
Tom), of this place, as Major. Captain
MoCAturriEy's Company is also in this
Regiment. Capt. HENDERSON'S will no
doubt go into the 2d,z
The companies drill about six hours a
day, hut have not, as yet, been drilled as
a regiment; they are now waiting anx
iously for their arms and uniforms. The
"boys" consider themselves under many
obligations to the citizens of West Ches
ter, for their kindness, especially to Cul.
McCoNKEv, aid to Gen. Metlar.r., who
is unremitting in his attentions; and the
feeling seems to be warmly reciprocated
on the part of the citizens, who speßt
highly of the genteel appearance and or
derly conduct of' the military.
We left the Camp at 10 o'clock, having
previously received the countersign, and
Ca it. :\ • - s•
guard, at the main entrance. We had
gone but a short distance along the road,
however, when we were brought to a
stand still,, by a gruff voice exclaiming,
"Who goes there," "A friend," "Halt
and give the countersign," when we leaned
over the point of the bayonet and whis
pered the word " Strezioy r." " The
countersign is right—yass friend. Bid
ding.good night to the sentinel, we went
into town, satisfied that there arc worse
situations in life than that of a Pennsyl
vania Volunteer, doing camp duty.
West Chester is a beautiful town, and
the pe o ple are no less noted for their high
moral tone and intelligent character, than
the town itself, for the taste and-elegance
displayed in the
. buildings . and_ grounds
Should any of our friends desire to visit
West Chester, during the continuance of
our comp inic3 at Camp Wayne, they will
find very pleasant accommodations at the
