In compliance with orders from the War Depart
ment, $50 army troops left the barracks at New
port, KY, on ouday morning for Jefferson City
Mo-, where they are to take charge of United
States Government property. These men are sta

Army and naval troops concentrating
pidlv at Washington. detachment of marines
arrived there on Sunday morning. and were trans
ferred to quarters at once. Yesterday ITO soldiers
left Fort Monroe for the same place, and have
doubtless arrived there by this time.
The preparations of the storeship Relief are
nearly complete, and in few days she will be
ready to take her departure. large cargo of pro-
visions, stores, and other naval necessaries will be
put on board.

no orders whatever to have her fitted out for
sea at present.
Capt Taylor, one of the officers in command of
the marines at this station, yesterday received or
ders from headquarters to repair at once to Wash
ington, in compliance with which he immediately
left the city. 1t is believed that he is to be placed
in command of troop at Washington, and dis
patched to a Southern post.-N Y. World.
ARRIVAL OF TRooPs AT HARPER's FERRY-The
train which arrived here yesterday morning from
the east, brought up the company of Cavalry to
take charge of Harper's Ferry The train approach
ed the Ferry very cautiously, as many anticipated
a collision with the people. On the contrary the
troops were received with friendly greetings and
loud cheering. Indeed we hardly believe that apy
serious hindrance was ever intended to be put in
the way of the troops by the people of the town.
1t was one of the exciemens peculiar to these ex-
citing times and the sober second thought was all
| that required. This company of Cavalry, as
before stated, is from Carlisle Barracks, Pa, and
is described as being composed of as fine looking
set of men as ever shoudered muskets.- Wheeling

We have lately had general review, and

we made a better appearance and went
through our exercises more like soldiers than

The Southern States are rash and blan1a-
BILE in the Judgment they form Of their
brethren of the four New England States. 1
do assure, with all my partiality for my own
countrymen and prejudices against them,
can but consider them az the flower of the
American army. They are a strong, vigor-
ous and hardy people, Injured to labor aud
toll, which our people seldom arei and,
though our hot and eager spirits may suit
better in a sudden and desperate enterprise,
yet, in the way in which wars are now car
Iied on, you must look for permanent ad-
| yantsges only from that patient and perse-
yeIibg temper which is the result OF labor.
The New -EnRlanders are cool, con-
siderate and sensible, while we are all fire
and fury. Like their climate, they maintain
an equal temperature whereas we can not
shine, but we burn. They have uniformity
and stability of character to which the people
Of no other States have any pretensions !;
hence they must and will always preserve
their influence in this great empire. We're

on the subject of government have on their

.FREDERICK, June IL lit is reported that
the bridge across the Potomac at Harper's
Ferry was blown up and entirely destroyed
between four and fTe o'clock this morning.
The explosion was distinctly heard, and the
smoke of the bHrning structure was seen by
parties here. AlsO reported that all the
troops have been withdrawn from the Mary
land shore, and the town Of Harper's Ferry
has been evacuated by the great body of the
troops recently there.
A small force is yet there, probably the
rear-guard of the retreating army, lt is said
eight carloads ofprovisions were destroyed,
to prevent their falling into the hands of the
Federslists, who were supposed to be con-
centrating upon Harper's Ferry from the di-
rection of Greencastle and Cumberland.
The destruction Of the bridge may be re-
garded as certain, con6rmatory intelligence
having been received within the last few
minutes. The bridge at Shepardstown was
also burnt.

bias the following;
Frightful indeed are becoming the ravages
of this insect pest among the gro wing crops
of Illinois. The cool weather of the past
month has been favorable TO their multiple
cation and growth, and they are now sweep
ing with all the dsstructveness Of a prairie
FIRE over some of the faitest and most prom
ising portions of our State. Meadows and
pastures, wheat oats, rye and corn fields,
gatdens, yards. trees and shrnbbery, in fact
every green thing is disappearing before
them. ...a .-s ..s.l.617 .s.t
In many localities it is thought that the

planted ard the second crop probably win
escape them. But Il their favages could be
stopped to-day, the loss already oecasioned
by them could only be estimated by millions
of dollars. ci it A'-'s -
From exchanges and from our own cor
respondents, we learn that their sad work Is
being prosecuted to greater OF less extent
over the following territories With slight
comparative damage in McDouough County,
commenciDg with Adsms County on the
west, we trace them eastward through Cass,
Sangamon, 'Piatt, Champaign and lower part
of Vermillion Counties They do not, so far
as we have beard, yet work to any great ex-
tent north Of this line.
South from Adams, down the Mississippi,
they take Pike, Calhoun, Madison, ST. Clair
and ackson--eastward from this line and
south from the other, their number seems TO
be innumerable in Coles CLARK, Efingham,
Cumberland aud Christian Counties There
are several of the interior counties of South
ern Illinois that we have no reports from,
and the same may be ssid Of the extreme
southwestern portion of the State. We have
little doubt however, though we hope 1t
\ may not be true, that their destructive pres
enoe Is being felt in all the State below lati-

On the Missouri side, they are reported In
Boone, Howard and Pike Counties and the
Northern portion Of Kentucky, and the
Southern portion of Indiana are also being
overrun with'the ''
Ditching, dragging logs over them, and
turning hogs in upon them are the expedi-
ents being irled to effect their destruction,

Probable s,reaEth of the Rebel Forces
Btny Thousand soldiers In Virginia.
Wednesdays Washington National Re-
publican observes: e4g
f 1t is Internationally true that the rebellion
forces in Virginia are much more numerous
than they have been hitherto accounted in
quarters North. Twenty days since there
were less than thirty thousand rebel troops
10 Virginia. The men now in arms in that
State, II reliance can be placed in the most
credible accounts, more than double that
number. With their headquarters at Rich
mend they have an advanced camp, strongly
fortified at Manassas junction, twenty-seven
miles from Washington, while their extreme
right rests upon Norfolk the seaward' APP
proach to which is substantially impregna
bic. Between these points they have, we
judge, not less than forty thousand troops,
threatening Washington. all the bodies Of
ttoops on this line are in correction with
each other by railway. I... Is
Besides these, they have the forces at Lees
burg, twenty-five miles from Manassas June
tiop, and Che considerable force at HarperIs
Ferry, which oppose our communications
with the North west. The two points last
referred to are not in connection by railway
with the main. body Of their forces, and the
enemy there posted lack the material for
rapid transportation. But they may, never
theless, after breaking up the Baltimore and
Ohio and the -Loudon and Hampshire Roads,
join the main body of the enemy further
South, or, moving independently ia, this di-
rection, enable them to hrop perhaps ffty
hoasdad troops upon our lines around Wash.
instoH. A long days march, twenty Eve
miles, brings the Leesburg troops upon the
line Of the Manassas Gap Railway; while,
taking rail from Harper's Ferry to Winches.
ter, the troops at the Ferry may, by march
Of eighteen miles, join the same road at
Strasburg, its terminus. The distance by
rail to the junction would be, for the former
troops. thirty FIVE miles; for the latter, twice
that distance. -. .'-..i
This is no body of men to despise. All OF
them are brave; some, have haG discipline in
camp. Their arms are in the main good, de-
fective in some instances, but all efficient in
brave mems hands. With this body of men
lying in front Of us, we may believe that
we have stern work 10 do. In the enemy 8
camp, the word on every soldiers lip is,
Washington ! Forward to Washington l''
| The forward march in this direction will be
somewhat troublesome. We have, encamped
on both sides of the Potomac, nearly forty
thousand men, the finest body of men that
have yet stood to arms in this country, men
| animated with stern and unconquerable
| purpose to vindicate their Government, tc
sustain their flag, and TO march over the
dead body of every traitor in arms.
