AsRAND FERMENTATION OF coLoRs.
This forenoon, Gov. Curtin, of Pa, escorted by
| a regiment Of infantry, squadron of cavalry and
a number Of civil notabilities, proceeded to the
position in this vicinity occupied by the Pennsyl-
vania reserve, commanded by Maj. Gen. Mccall,
In order to present to that remarkably ane divi-
sion Of the army a magnificent stand Of colors,
which Gov. C. brought here from Harrisburg.
The attendance Of citizens and strangers was
very large, Of course. The body Of troops were
doubtless reviewed by the Governor, though we
have not yet received our report Of the affair,
which must have been one Of the most brilliant
parades that has so far taken place In this vicinity
$50. VIGILANCE REQUISITE.
Gen. Dix and the authorities In Baltimore can.
not be too vigilant over the harbor Of Baltimore
to see that vessels and steamers leaving that port
do not carry contraband articles for the of the
| rebel army. Whatever expense may be necessary
to have an efficient harbor police Dug hit to be freely
| gone to, and not in name only but In fact 1t 10
well known that large quantities of goods have
gone from Baltimore to the Patuxent and Potomac
| for hipment across; and boats have been wagoned
from the Patuxent to the Potomac to effect the OBJ
ject Of landing the supplies sent to the Patuxent
for Virginia, as well as to land recruits also.
WHAT THEY WANT RAILROAD IRON FOR
tbs known that the Convention Of Virginia had
authorized the extension of the anassas Gan road
from Strasburg, in Shenandoah county, to Win
chester, SO that there might be complete line
from Richmond to Harpers Ferry and to this
| end the Manassas Gap road was rapidly removing
their iron from Alexandria, but before they nish.
ed 1t, the 2ith Of May came, and the Union troops
| arrived In Alexandria. The iron taken from the
Baltimore and Ohio road west of Martinsbure, is
doubtless to complete that connection between
stras5urg and Winchester, and very likely the
rolling stock is for the same purpose.
ABAsELEss RuMoR.
This morning ''Secesh" in Washington was
a-glee with rumor that the George Page had
captured all the barges OF the fotla Of the Poto-

Craven may nab her
