n RIOS p K TUS OF THE WEEK LY
L NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

The undersigned commenced, in the month of
December last, the publication, in this city, of
a.weekly newspaper, called the National Repub.
licdn.
It is printed on a large sheet, twenty seven
by forty.two inches, and is furnished atthe low
prices stated below.
It will contain all the original matter of the
daily National Republican, with the exception
of local news not interesting to country sub.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress, and of the other departments Of the
National Government.
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as we'll as IN
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
receive special attention, and, in all respects,
the effort will be made to establish the charac.
ter of the National Republican as a Family
Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point of
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers Of the
National Republican with full and especially
war for the Union.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ of the President.
The is no other Republican paper in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, or in the Vicinity of it, and
1t is believed that recent events have opened to
such a paper an important sphere of useful
administration OF the Government upon Repub.
lican principles will explode the mIsrepresen
tations which have made those principles so
distasteful to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from II national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any Overpowering pressure Of local interest.

WHEELING, Va, May 13.-The greatest
enthusiasm prevails. Flags are flying in
all directions. A large number of delegates
to the Convention arrived on the train from
the interior, and on boats from the river
counties, this morning. A large crowd is
assembled in front of the Mcclure House.
Speeches were made by Carlisle Pierpont,
Wiley, Brown, and other prominent dele
gates. Some speakers took ground that the
proper position of Western Virginia was neu-
traliy, while others favored an immediate
division of the State.
The Convention assembled at l o'clock,
and temporarily organized by calling VIM
B. linn to the Chair. The opening prayer
was made by Rev. Mr.. Lashley.
motion was made to admit to the floor
all persons here from any western county.
A discussion arose, some maintaining
that only those furnished with proper Gre
dentials were entitled to seats. The subject
was finally referred to the committee on
credentials, and the convention adjourned
till o'clock.

BALTIMORE, May 12.-The city is quiet.
Troops from New York and Lancaster are
expected to arrive here to- morrow in large
numbers over the Northern Central Rail-
road. Fort McHenry has been largely re-
enforced to-day from Annapolis. About
1900 men are now there. General Butler
arrived at the Fort this morning in a
steamer from Annapolis and is still there.

HARRIsBURG, May ia special agent
sent from here has returned from Harper's
Ferry, reports G, 200 troops there, including
200 Kentuckians and a company of South
Carolinians. They had only one days pro-
visions on hand, the supplies from western
Virginia having been cut of, and two weeks
more will exhaust the supplies in the sur
rounding country, They only recovered
1000 stand of arms from the wreck of
the arsenal, and some of these
are in bad condition. They cannot man
utacture more than twelve rifles per day
They have only 900 men this side of the
Potomac. They have not secured any bat
teries from the Maryland side, and show no
disposition to erect any. All the prepara-
tions indicate defensive purposes on their
part. They must retreat while provisioned.
This, however, does not contradict the
probable advance of the Confederate army
by that route on southern PENNSYLVANIA,
when jeff. Davis discovers the impossibility
of breaking Gen. SCOTS line around Wash
ington.

Col Anderson visited the board OF bro
kers this afternoon. He was introduced by
j. r. Garland, to which the Colonel replied
in substance as follows: He said he was
not in the habit of making speeches, but his
reception by them was so tlattering that he
must say something. The situation he had
been placed in he would willingly have
shrank from on account of the responsibility
but Providence had placed him in the situa-
ton and he had tried to do his duty, Since
the fall of Fort Sumter he had received
very bitter letters from the South on ac-
count of his refusal to join his destiny with
theirs. He had never written or said any
thing to indicate that he would unite with
the South at the outset of the slavery
troubles, he did sympathize with his South
ern friends, thinking there was much North
ern interference with the subject that if
slavery was an evil, it attached to the
South alone. At the present crisis, neither
slavery nor party politics had anything to
do with the subject The question is gov
eminent or no government, and he felt sat-
isGed when the present ordeal was passed,
we shall be again happy and united peo-
pie.
This address was received with the most
hearty cheers. He seemed very earnest
and his words flowed as though /
they came direct from the heart.

NEW York, May I3.-The Tribune
special says agents who had been sent from
Gen'l SCOTS office to the South, to recon
noitre are returning daily, and allagree that
bodies of men are at Richmond, Lynchburgh,
Montgomery, New Orleans, and Pensacola.
They all agree, too, that troops are march
ing on Washington, and if an attack on
that place is abandoned the leaders will find
it difficult to restrain the men.
All the troops captured in Texas, and re-
leased on parole, will be required to renew
their full obligation to the Government, and
the refusal to take the oath, will be met by
instant dismissal from the service
Gov. Sprague's regiment yesterday made
up purse of 81 GOO for the sisters ofyoung
Howard, who was murdered by the police
men.
The regimentof cavalry, which Carl. Schurz
is to organize will be one of the most effect
i've in the service. The object is to enlist and
organize a-body of men who have seen SER
vice and do not need drilling. 1t is well
known there are hundreds of men in the
West who have seen service in Europe
To such men the Government viii undoubt-
eddy furnish uniforms, equipments, and
horses.
The Herald's Washington dispatch states
that spies are plenty in the very midst of
the Federal Capital, but there being no
declaration of war made, they cannot be
treated as spies. They must be proved as
traitors to their country and dealt with as
such.

mense Union demonstration here last night:
The occasion was serenade to Hon. John
S. Carlisle, Frank Pierpont, W. G. Brown
and other delegates to the Western Virginia
convention which assemblies here to-mor-

ST. Louis, May I3.-An official state
ment, published yesterday morning, says
the first firing at Camp Jackson was some
half dozen shots near the head column of
the first regiment, occasioned by a volley of
stones and pistol shots from the crowd
None hurt. At this point the second firing
occurred from the rear of the column guard
ing the provisions. The crowd here was
large and very abusive, and one man dis
charged three barrels of his revolver at
Lieut.. Saxon, of the regular service, many
of the mob cheering him on, drawing their
revolvers and firing at the troops. The
man who commenced the attack, then laid
the pistol across his arm and was taking
deliberate aim at Lieutenant Saxon, when
he was thrust through with bayonet, and
fired upon at the same time and instantly
killed. The column then moved on, having
received orders to march and several of
them shot, halted and fired, causing the
deaths already reported. The order was
then given by Capt. Lyon to cease firing,
which was promptly obeyed.
The principal arms taken from Camp
Jackson, were four large size howitzers,
two ten nch mortars, a large number of
ten inch SHELLS ready charged, and some five
thousand United States muskets, supposed
to be those taken at the Baton Rouge
arsenal. Thousands Of people left the
city yesterday evening in consequence of
reports of Decentralization among German
troops, and their threats to burn and sack
the city, but the appearance of Harney's
in great measure restored
confidence, and many of those who left pro-
badly returned to-day. The city is now
quiet and great hopes are entertained that
no further disturbance will occur. Twenty
two persons are known to be killed at
Camp jackson.
