dred, with muskets pistols, ard various other war
like instruments. They are composed of ,Nler-
chants, Farmers, Mechanics, Laborers, &c. &c.
Our citizens respond with the utmost W ing
ness to the call Of the Mayor requesting quarters
for the troops at their residences
The Providence Journal Of June q gives fur
ther proceedings in that State, which we copy:
In obedience 10 orders from Mai. Gen. Mcneil
the troops under arms in the city OF Providence
assembled al three o'clock on Saturday afternoon
AT that hour the whole force in the city, except
that detailed on patrol and other special service
were ordered to muster on Benefit street. When
formed, the line took up its march for Smiths
Hill, where it was reviewed. The number on
the Hill was about 1000, and from 200 to 300
were on duty in the city and not ordered OUT
This was belorethe arrival of The third and fourth
brigades. Maj. Gen. Mcneil expressed himself
highly grathed with the number and condition.
and especially the character of the men.
Several arrests of disordery and suspected per-
were made towards evening.
The force Of Dor is entrenched upon Acott's
Hill, few hundred yards from the village The
hill is about so feet high, and the position com
mands the Providence Turnpike, for the whole
range Of the cannon. 1t is separated from lower
hill on the east by IA sandy rocky ruvne, and from
n still higher hill on the west by table land
which rises gradually from Acol's hill to about
the same height. We believe there is no water
on the hill, unless well has been dug; but there
is fine stream within 200 yards OF it, indie
pendent of any reinlorcemens received, or any
deserlions made yesterday we estimate the insur-
gent force at about 700, not all armed. We are OF
opinion, however, that there are plenty of mus
kes if the men are willing to use them. Provis-
ioGs are plenty, the neghborng farms furnishing
abundance Of live stock for the maraudng parties
Ammunition must nlso he plenty, as large quaint
ties have been stolen. They have from ten to
twenty pieces Of artillery, some of good consruc-
ton, but principally ship cannon indifferenlly
mounted; generally six Founders, but they have
one or two mines, and perbsps twelve FOUNDER.
They have four large marques, and they use a
barn 10 quarter some oi their men in. Dorr
rived Saturday morning before day light. lie made
furious speech TO his men, and avowed his de-
termination upon victory or DEATH
The latest accounts from the insurgent CAMP
represent Dorr us perfectly desperate aud reckless;
about one hundred ofhis men will stand by him to
the last. The others do not seem to be so inluri.
ated
Arrests Of several insurgents had been made
A strong force, comprising the third and fourth
Brlgades had been ordered to the north part OF
Foster, where they will take up position between
Chepachet and Connecticut, IN the rear of the in.
surgent army. Another 2Aiy has been ordered to
Grenville. Videtls are posted far out in the di-
rection of the insurgents, and strong parties guard
the avenues to the city.
Ii is apparent that The war is to he carried on in
the most vigorous manner, and that its duration
will be very short. The utmost enthusiasm pre-
ynils-lhe men well disciplined, and ready to
go forward to the execution of orders and only
ask one thing, which is the universal cry-iet us
keep our arms Till the traitor and his ddherents are
put DOM
The Rebellion in Rhode Island, by the prompt
and energetic measures of the proper authorities,
seems n second time TO have been put down, with
the loss only of one life, and that on the part of
the insurgents Dorr has deserted his encamp-
ment, and at the date of the last accounts was
supposed TO be at public house in Thomastown,
Connecticut, having disbanded his troops. His
utmost force is said not 10 have exceeded 500 men.
The desertion Of Dutee j. Pearce and others, and
especially the effective measures adopted by the
legal government Of the State, assigned by
Dorr us the reasons for abandoning his position
The miserable farce, we hope, is now at an end.
