On Friday last, from the best unofficial
Information that could be had, there were
seventeen thousand volunteers in Washing
ton, one thousand regulars, aud fifteen hun
bred militia of the District under arms,
making total of 500 men. Add to this
two regiments at Annapolis, one at the juno

together with SPLENDID flying artillery bat
tries from Boston and Providence, with twelve
Of James rifled cannon each, and the num-
Der Of troops now there, and within three

There are four companies in Pennsylvania
within striking distance, viz: At York G.0OO,
Philadelphia 5000, Harrisburgh 1000, Lam
caster 5000. Besides this, there arc ten

In presence Of the fact which has been
stated in reference to the assault upon Scbas-

guns in the classmates had to be relieved
every twenty minutes, aud rubbed with alco
hol the other fact that Anderson and his
men fired from the classmates for twelve
hours without being relieved while the shocks
Of the gun were realized 81 miles from Sum

BLocxADE.-Er this the blockade Of every
Southern port is doubtless complete. There
are engaged in this work some fifty armed
vessels. No craft of any kind, can leave the
ports, and their exports and imports totally
cut off. The blockade by land will be equal
ly effective, and their supplies will thus be
entirely cut of. Starvation stares them in
the face, and return to good behavior is
their only salvation.

Attack on Cairo.

There arc rumors, that seem to be well
founded, that an attack on Cairo is seriously
meditatcd by the Scccssionists. And Gov.
Pillow is gathering an army Of the rebels to-
gcther with that view. Cairo is an important
point, but its mere possession is not the
only object the rebels have in view in forcing
a battle there. Something must be done to
arouse the passions Of the Border States, (which
now are rather inclined to maintain neutral
ground. While battles arc being fought, and
blood shed, mo matter which side is yictori-
Gus, the border States cannot stand quietly
by. It will have tendency to arouse sec
tional luminosity, and drown the voice OF
Judgment, and will give the rebels in the
Border States courage to work more boldly
in their reasonable designs. The Mont
gomcry Cabal know this full well, and they
would willingly lose battle to gain this, to
them, important feature. At our last advices
there were about 5000 U. S. troops at Cairo
and rcnforcemcnts from Iowa and Wiscon.
sin were to be there by tomorrow. There is
no doubt that an. attempt to take that place
will be signal failure.

The Northwest.

While the Northwest is suffering greatly
from the free use Of a defective dkrcncy, in
some respects her position is foflanate one.
She is rich il rain and provisions, Ind these
must play appointment part in. our present
difficulties. An army, large as the one that
will take the field the coming year promises
to be, with its crowd of hangcrs,on and at
tendants, will consume a vast amount Of
food. The East is rich in money and war
cquipage; the West is poor in money, but
rich in those. agricultural productions which
other portions Of the country lack, and for
which there promises to be an unusual de-
mand the coming year. Again, accounts
from Europe are decidedly war-lke, and
there also seems to be prospect that the
harvest will be failure in that country In
sone parts of our country agriculture will
be almost totally neglected, while men viii
take the field and WELD the weapons Of dcs
truction rather than those of production.
From all these facts, it is apparent that there
is to be an unusual demand for all kinds Of
agricultural productions for the next year or
two, and Of this the Northwest must supply
by far the greatest proportion. We would
advise the farmers Of our own section to plant
all the ground they can take care Of, for there
is certain to be demand for the products,
at fair prices. We may also expect in re-
turn for it, currency that will be sound and
reliable; and considerable portion of the
vast sums now being paid out by the Gov
eminent in gold must find its way into the
hands Of our producers. 1t is time our peo-
pie discarded the miserable trash based on
Southern stocks, and demand good curren-
cy. Now is the time to do it, if ever, for our
products must be had and good money will
be forthcoming when it is found out that
such alone will buy them. While the pa
triotism of the Northwest cannot be doubted,
and her sons are as willing as any to take
up arms in the defence of the government,
still We arc not as well prepared to take the
field ourselves as to feed those of other por-
tons of the country who can do it to much
better advantage than ourselves. The one
is as important as the otEcr. Warriors must
be fed, and to do this men must till The soil
and it seems as though the latter was Or
daincd to be the peculiar province OF the
Northwest. Therefor let every available acre
be cultivated, and should there be propitious
harvest, our agrculturists will be sure to get
good money and good prices for all they raise.

A RooRBAcH.--A few days since tho tele-
graph announced that the Government had
dass. This was testing the crcdulity of the
people a little too much. There must be no
cessation in hostilitics now until the rebels
crave for it, and submit to the Government.
Sooner or later they must do this; and the
sooner they do it the better for them. If
they persist in the mad course they arc now
pursuing, terrible will be tho rctribution
visited upon them. To crush out treason
and traitors, the North will pour her millions
upon Southern soil if necessary, and the
sword, fire and the gibbct will effectunly do,
what wise counsels, Cancellation and forebear-
ancc have failed to accomplish.

Billy Wilson's Bows.

A New York correspondent Of the Chica-
go Tribune gives the following in regard to
BILLY WILSON'S Zouaves, who, it is well
known are made up Of the Roughs of New
York City: ....
But the greatest performance is Billy Will
sons regiment Wilson was born some
where about the Five Points, and belongs
emphatically to that constituency. He is a
man of ability, and has been Alderman Of
his Ward once or twice lie has gathered
his regiment from among his friends; and
says, there are only three thieves left in New
York. He made a speech to them the other
day. Said he: "Soldiers some men call
you mudsills; but | don't. / know you :;
you arc theivcs-d-n you-evcry one of you.
But remember there is honor among thieves.
Now, don't you steal from one another and
don't you steal from me! By--if | catch
any one stealing from me, I'll murder him."
Then he called on all the men who had
watches to come forward Only one man
came, and he had a pewter thing, worth about
two shillings. Says Billy, "Aint you
ashamed Of yourself, Carrying such thing as
that? Throw it away Boys! there is a
good watch in Baltimore for every one of you.
Every man that leaves New York with gold
watch, shall be shot and every man that
comes back without one shall be shot - The
famous Billy Mulligan, whose private mat
tiers have, during the last winter, been mat.
ter of comment in the Supreme Court, is a
Captain in this beautiful regiment. lie took
gold watch out of his pocket, and showed
it to his men, and there" said he "every
plug ugly in Baltimore has got watch just
like that" expressed some fear to friend
that they would not be easily brought into
subordination, especially as they elected theii
own officers. ooh" said he, " that makes
no difference. When they voted for officers
Billy Wilson went through the ranks and
put a ballot into each mans hand, and Billy
Mulligan followed immediately and took il
away" Hooray for popular suffrage. They
all swore to support the Constitution of the
United States, and to 60 through Baltimore
Billy made every man Of them knecl down
on both knees and kiss the Bible when they
took the oath. have vague suspicion
that if these fellows meet any Of those Pal
metto regiments, the latter will be slightly
astonished; and if they go through Baltimore
before the Union men get control there, they
will gut every store in the city.
