The Pony Express, with San Francisco da ties
| TO The 27th uIt., passed Fort Kearney on
| Tuesday afternoon. The news of the attack
on, and evacuation of, Fort Sumter had been
received in San Francisco and caused Il
marked effect in business circles. The insur-
tnce agents were refusing TO negotiate in
surance on gold shipped for the East. A
meeting of bankers had been held to take
some action on thi. subject, bat nothing def
n tie had TRANSFERRED.
In consequence of the vast war prepare
tons In the South, the North m papers

New York, has rendered his services to the

The following dispatch comes from Harris
burg. Pa, and although it is denied by the
Northern papers, we have no doubt Of It's

a serious breach exists between Gov Curtin
and The Legislature, which body has thus far
refused TO make any appropria ton for mil tary
purposes, unless unprecedented restrictions
are made with regard TO the disbursement is
and appoin tments. 1t is unders TODD, however
in well informed circles, that the real objec
is 10 pinch down the appropriation The in
di2nation of the volunteers in camp is intense
and with the Sigh test encouragement, The
Legislature would be driven from the CAPT
tai.
The feeling of the true and good men of all
parties is with the Governor, who is very
much mort titled at the idea of being hampered

suffering l never saw. 1t was raining very
hard, and the poor devils of men lay around
in the grass all night. with no other covering

The Sixth Regiment are in want Of over
coats and blankets, which ought to be for
