such prodigies before Sebastopol, who, to tighten
the rigors Of that siege, formed themselves into
theatrical corps, and alternately, as the occasion
required, took part in the mimic or real drama
with equal spirit. Who would not travel fifty
miles 10 see a live Zouave! Here we have the
pick of them, undoubted partcipators in the stir

see them In some Of the most effective and brill
liant pieces upon the French stage. The capital

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Friday May "A, 1861.
Beyond AL doubt, 9 $50 Confederate troops are now
posted between the Point Of Rocks and Wlliamsport
on the Potomac 900 are Virginians, and the rest
Albamians, Mirsssippans, Caronianp, and Georgisns
There are also 300 Cherokees armed with tomahswks
scalpng-sni and rifles They are fom North Car
DINA aud Georgia. The Virgnians are well armed,
but short of PROVISIONS.
Between the Point of Rocks, eight niles below, and
Willamsport, % miles above HarIers Ferry, there
are 35 pieces Of cannon at various points 20 Of tse
are brass feldpeoos.
Great apprehension prevails in the Cumberland VAL
ley OF invasion from Virginia. 10000 head Of cattle and
5000 horses could be seized by sudden rnption OF an
expeditionary corps holding The valley i've days, even
if finally driven baeA in,o Virginia. a forward move
mept Of Virginia may be expected at any moment.
CampJels a., ,ing artillery, siX pieces, has been or
dered to this place but additional regiments of in
antry aud battalion Of cavalry absolutely needed
here to prevent devastation Of the whole valley.
There should also be three batteries of six l2poundes.
