MOVEMENTS AT THE SoUTH "A gentleman
who has just arrived here from Virginia,
where he has boon f0r the last two months,
in all its principal Cities estimates, from his own
observation, that there not less than 40, 900
men, well armed and equipped, low in the field in
that State. From Winchester to Harper's Ferry
he travelled in company with three regiments from
Tennessee, as we'll armed and drilled as our North
ern troops. These men said they were to be tol-
lowed by 10, 900 more from that State, as fast as
the capacity of the railroad will permit. The i'm
preston among he soldiers was that their destina-
ton Washington, but the better-informed
among the officers supposed that $4,000 of their
best troops were TO into Pennsylvania and
make rapid march for Philadelphia. When this
body moves, an equal number, under Davis himself,-

spared for Philadelphia. Our informant further

Pany.-A Man e. .gtd and Ridden on
Rail for Expressing Disunion Sentiments
On Saturday last tie citizens of Bremen
and vicinity held grand Union meeting
at Bremen. A. McVeigh. Esq, addressed
them. Grea! enthusiasm prevailed. Rush
creek township is redhot for war and will
do as much and go as far to sustain the
government in this crisis as any township
in loyal old Fairfield.
4 military company for active service
was organized. and during the volunteer
ing one Joseph Sherboro, whose sympa-
thies we've south of Mason and Dixon's
line. made some dsroga,ory and insulting
expressions concerning one Of tie voun-
teers, when one Of the Neely's resented
the insult and gave the tory complete
thrashing. ... .- .--...-. ..r.
In the evening, while the excitement
Vas still running high, and before the
crowd had dispersed, certain McCul.
lough, (not Ben Mccullough of Texan
nolorety, but as great a tory at heart as
he publicly declared that il "ne fought
at all he would 60 south and shoot north, "
when tie excited aud indignant citizsns
despatched him thoroughly with eggs aud
closed the programe by riding him on a
rail. Mccullough resisted at first but
soon cooled off and begged for terms, max
ing every profession of devotion to tic
union.
We do not encourage, much less couh.
sci, these mobs. They are wrong in
themselves, but if men are base enough
and traitorous enough TO encourage, by
word or act, or deed, the armed attemp
now being made 10 overthrow the gov

of their folly. A loyal people will see II
