New-York daily tribune., 1861-05-01

morning early set out for Washington, declining
an escort. which the Governor was kind enough
70 offer. He states that he was at all times and
places treated with consideration, his only an

of rude youths who mingled with the crowds In
Testing railway stations IN Virginia, ANXIOUS 'or

Soutberners were confdeut he would resign his
commission in our army aud JON tnen' Ao
made it very clear to their comprehension tna'
he had no idea Of the sort. He says he ri"

where rumor has repeatedly located ap army oi
thousands. was desolato and uan-iOrSahcn
spot. His opinion, founded on lis observation
concerning the state of feeling In Virginia, IS
that she proposes to act on The de-
fensive. having DO designs on Washington.
OF the latter point, s0 Iar as that state is con
cerncd, he speaks confidently. What Jel Davis
may be LETT to do is another matter. lie thinks,
moreover. that Missouri will not secede. 1t is
NOT known where Gen. Harney will be stationed,
though it IS supposed that he may have the COM
mand Of this military district. He is in fine
health, and his erect FORM nervous moeemcnt,
ad free action promises long and valuable ser
vices.
Something like regularity in the mail and
passenger line between here aud New-Ycrk Is
now promised. A daily train, open to all who
can buy tickets, starts each day at O'Clock.
A train will reach here at 6 o'clock in the
morning.
ARRANGEMENTS are making for an encamiment
of troops. A change is to take place soon.
The splendid appearance of the Rhode Island
Regiment so struck the President and Gen.
Scott. as the troops plraded on Monday after
noon, that another regiment has been ordered
here without delay. The New-iork 18th are
quartefed at the Assembly Rooms Louisiana
avenue. They attract much attention by the
superior music they furnish to the crowd sur
rounding their quarters. The Nes-York 9TH are
steadily and hard at work improving themselves
in drilling and battalion movements. Their
quarters are visited by as many as can obtsia
passes, and all seem TO enjoy the present highly,
while yet they desire the more active future.
II is now said that Government is to accept
the services of $4,000 three-months' men beyond
the original call for $4,000, and that $1,000 viii
he raised for FIVE years Thus there viii soon be
a total force of $4,000 men ready for active
service.

pointments: Richard Cheney, Navy Agent, San
Francisco Cal; Henry w. Dupuy, Agent for
the Pawneos of Nebraska; Mark Delahay, Sur.

Com. Glarson of the Perry communicates the fol-
lowing TO the Navy Department. The light
house at Cape Charles and Cape Henry show no
lights. A schooner was sunk in about five faith
o,ns water, about six miles north of wolf-IraP
Light-Ship, Chesapeake Bay. The hght-boat of
Windmill Point has been removed, and also the
licht.boat at Smiths Point. Two small vessels
coming hither last evening were fired at from
Alexandria One turned back; the other was
brought TO. and taken in at Alexandria. She
proved loaded with oats. Alexandrians may think
they can commit piracy with impunity. 1t can
not be for long time, however.
learn from the best authority most cheering
and unexpected news from Maryland. The re-
port sent you last night appeared, this morning
10 be untrue, but ] now know it was correct.
The Maryland Legislature has positively, by an
overwhelming vote, refused TO call Convention.
It has declared that United States troops have
an undoubted right to pass through Maryland.
The revolution in public sentiment is thorough
and complete. Baltimore shows the Federal flag
from the public buildings, and boys sell them in
miniature in the public streets Of that city. The
authorities viii invite the passage OF United
States troops through those streets, will rebuild
the bridges destroyed, and will lay down the road.
The Baltimore and Ohio Road are in the
work, and have put cars and locomotives at the
service Of the Government. The first train over
the new military road, by way of Annapolis and
PerryyiIe, has just arrived, and trains will here
after be regularly and safely run. Reason has
returned to Maryland, aud our prospects
brighten.
The report extensively circulated to the effect
that a letter from Mr.. Lincoln is in possession
of Reverdy Johnson, wherein the President pro-
poses or assents to an armistice of sixty doys, j
am authorized to deny, without qualification.
