TUE GAVIERINC4 TEMI'EST.—The insurrec
tion in Poland, which was not ended by LAN-
G/E.WICZ , having abdicated his Dictatorship,
proceeds with unabated fury, and has so far
baffled all the efforts of Russia to put it down.
The amnesty pro Maimed by the Czar, pardon
ing all political oQeuccs, and promising in
definite reforms at a peried left wholly to the
imagination, has been rejected by the patriots
of Poland. The time in which vague promises
could amuse them has passed. Pour of the
loading Powers of Europe—namely, England,
France, Austria, and Italy—have severally
remonstrated with-Russia-, giving significant
hints that, very possibly, their inter - formic()
Will not be confined to words. Sweden is
also opposed to the Russian policy towards
Poland. As the Poles 'are chiefly Catholics,
it may be expected that the Catholic PoWers
will actively sympathize with Poland. In
deed, at this crisia,Russia has only ono ally,
and this is
- Prussia, itself in a condition which.

aurhorized to do so, in two weeks, I will
raise that many in Pennsylvania alone." his
reply was a truthful one. Since then Penn
sylvania has sent forth her sons by thou
sands, until her ,regiments number nearly
or quite two hundred, and their gallantry
and loyalty, haVe been attested upon in,ny
a well fought field. From the beginning of
the war, Pennsylvania's attitude has been
an enviable one. The first to respond to
the call, she will be the last to desert the old
flag, so long as treason lifts its head. And
to her Governor, of whom she is justly proud,
does she owe the present proud position she
now holds among the loyal Slates. Gov•
ernor CrIZTIN, assists I by his staff—among
whom is our fellow townsman, Col, J. IL

make her troops efficient and as comfortable

It is well known that the present Vice-
President of the Confederacy made a speech
strongly opposed to secession in.the Georgia
Convention of JanUary, 1861. The follow

Ceived the iniquity, and foresaw the'results
of the measure:
That this step once taken could never he
recatled, and all the baleful and withering
consequences that must follow (as they would
see) will rest on the convention for-all corn

invite and call forth ; when our green fields

who but him who shall have given his ,ote

honestly think and believe) shall be held to

perceive that the act r&terred to is a clear
violaiion of the, Constitution of the United

was exercised in the judiciary act of 17,!•:),
and it has been acted under ever since,

I would sooner have toy bones buried in the
'sunny South' than to have it thrown, into
my children's teeth that their father was a
traitor. God forbid ! 1 do nut like the
blacks, but I came here to fight for freedom,
and I say, let us have it. Should this war

GENERAL TRIUMPH OU OUR ARMI
WASIIINwres t May 4.—The city is in
tensely excited, to-day by the reports from
the army of the Potomac. The news is re
garded; thus tar, as favorable and encour-
aging, but at time there is cater•
Ally much solicitude as to further and future
developments.
The arrival of about 1,100 prisoners since
Saturday, certainly shows that our army has
not been all, in making captures; but it is
reported that others will soon arrive.
A gentleman connrcted with army pera

says there was skirmishing- all day Saturday
on the left, and on Sunday our batteries
crossed over to Frodorickshurg, Oil pontoons,

where some of oar forces passed over pre

Eight. hundred prisoners, including one en
tire regiment, the 23d Georgia, were brought
.to Washington this morning, and marched
down Pennsylvania avenue to the old Capitol.
Their appearance was the subject of universal
comment and remark. They were well and
conaortably clad, and not one looked as
though lie had not had enough to eat.
Two officers, Major General Evans, of South
Carolina, and a brigadier geheral (whose name
was not learned) were prominent in the num
ber, both being very" tall, tine? , looking men.
They were in light, gray uniforenv,. with three
gull stars on the coat collar of the major
general and two on that of the brigadier.—
They were permitted to go ahout the streets
accompanied by au unarmed corporal, and
made several purchases in the stores on the
avenue. Immense crowds thronged the streets
wherever they appeared. Major General
Ev,ths was the rebel general commanding at
Leesburg during the hall s 'quit battle.

PRESBYTERY OF CARLISLE :—We 80-
lea the following items of local interest from
the recent proceedings of this body.
Mr. John C. Ellis, a licentiate, was re
ceived nutter the care of Presbytery, from
Central Presbytery of Philadelphia. The
Second Presbyterian church of this place
presented at call for his services. The call
was found in unier, and, it being presented
to him, he signi!ietl his acceptance of it.—
Prtu,bytory then examined him in experi
mental re'igion, t h e arts and sciences, He
brew and Greek langua2es. Ecclesiastical
History, Theology, Church Government, and
the Sacraments : he also preached a sermon
from Jcr. as a part of trial for ordina
tion—all of which were unanimously sus
tained. Presbytery resolved to meet in the
Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle, on
TuesAay evening, the 12th of May, at half.
past seven o'clock, to attend to the ordina:
tion and installation of Mr. Bliss. Mr.
Nicole was appointed to preach the sermon,
and Mr. Beatty to be his alternate; Dr.
Crcigh to preside, propose the constitutional
questions; and make the ordinary prayer,
and Dr. !Earlier to be his alternate; Mr,
Hays to deliver the charge to the pastor.
an 1 Mr. Warner his alternate; Mr. )Jells to
deliver the charge to the people, and Mr.
Caitell his alternate. Doubtless the services
will be solemn. and interesti ng .
The Presbytery: adopted unanimously an
admirable paper on the state of the country.

lyn,„The Rev. Dr. PAxToN, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg,
has been voted a respite of six months by
bis congregation, fur rest and relaxation,
and our townsman, Rev. J. A. MmutAY, has

ATLANTIC MONTIILY.—There is no
periodical more welcome to our table than
this monthly. The present number is not
equal to the one or two last, but still in point
of literary merit far in advance of any of the
other monthlies. Periodical literature has
had a hard struggle in this country, and until
the advent of the "Atlantic" never reached
respectability, much less excellence. The
talent takte and energy, enlisted in this .
publication have now won for it a popularity
in this country surpassing that of the British
QuarterlieS, Which, previous to its existence,
went, to fill up the gap in our literature.
The pages in this number are all interesting;
but -up tho Thames," , r.ti :tries Lamb's uncol
lected 1%) itings," and "Dark Ways," aro
particular) , so. The latter is a wild, tersely
written story. and appears to come from one
who has heretofore been a Stranger to these
pages. Fine poetry, one of the most excellent
eharact eris ties of the Monthly does not
breathe in this number as sweetly as usual.—
, •After Taps," however, is creditable.
