"CoKFIDENcR 6ANE.''-" The old, old
story" which has been printed and told q
thousands of times, has not, it appears, been
a sufficient warning to some people to be-
ware of plausible strangers. Yesterday
evening man, evidently stranger in
town, was done out of fifty dollars by ras-
cal, who wanted to pay fifty dollars to
Strong & Armstrong, but had not the change,
The stranger accommodated him, taking
the 800 bill as security" and as matter
of course it proved worthless. The police
have the affair in hand.

Delay Strengthens Government and Weak
ems the Rebels.


ems the Rebels.
We invite attention to the following from
the Washington correspondence of the Gin
cinnati Commercial We all know that
each day strengthens the position of the Gov
ernment, and the argument that delay
weakens the rebels, because they are short
of provisions, seems reasonable:
q The public should be on its guard against
exaggerated reports circulated by alarmisls
as to the numerical strength OF the rebel
forces now concentrating at various points in
Virginia. The story that Government has
reliable information that $4,000 secession
troops are within radius Of 80 miles from
Richmond, is a wilful falschood. / can state
positively, on the contrary, that according TO
latest and most authentic advices, only about
900 men are at LynohbuFg, 5000 at Rich
mond, and 1900 at Harper's Ferry-two-
thirds Of whom are armed, End hardly one
fourth any way efficient in drilling.
The force at Harper's Ferry consist Of
three regiments Of infantry, of about zoe
men each; three companies of cavalry, num-
bering about ZOO two companies of artillery
| with dozen pieces. They are all poorly fed,
provisions being SCARCE and daily getting more
/ so.
"Gen. Scottis not at al sppreheDsive Of
any aggressive movement by the Virginia
rebels and their Southern allies. He knows
that they are entirely unprepared to enter
the fsld and that on account Of the shorlness
Of provisions, every days delay weakens
them, while it enables the Government to in
crease and improve its own forces"

PATRIoTIsN OF THE PUBLIC SCHOoLs.-Most
of the large Public School Buildings now
float the Stars and Stripes. Yesterday
fine Gag was raised over the East st. Clair
st. School Building, thirteen feet by twenty
one. It was the occasion of much rejoicing
among the pupils, who sang "Yankee Doc
die" "Red White and Blue" and " Long
Live America" All cheered with will that
would do honor to the patriot and soldier
The stripes, we understand to be designed
expressly for the Southern traitors, and we
trust they may yet be made to feel them.

Shutting UP OF sToRRs.-An attempt was
made few days since, in this city, to obtain
the consent of the retail drygOods merchants
to the closing of their shops at an early hour
in the evening, in order to allow clerks an
opportunity to obtain a knowledge of mill
tary tactics. At meeting of the clerks,
the proceedings of which were published in
the LEADER, several resolutions were passed,
which, we feel satisfied, do injustice to the
firm Of Freeman & Kellogg, who had refus-
ed to enter into such an agreement. Messrs.
Freeman L Kellogg have been in the habit
of closing their store as early as eight o'clock,
at which time their clerks were at liberty,
while it has been common with other NOR
chants to keep open till nine and sometimes
nine and half o'clock. We know them to
be generous and patriotic men and they
have in their own way done much and very
likely much more than most of the other
merchants in the city, in behalf of the vol
unteer movement. They have undoubtedly
good reasons for desiring to keep open until
eight, instead of closing at seven and hall
o'clock as requested, and inasmuah es even
that hour allows ample time to clerks t
pursue their purpose, we think it unjust
that this should be made the test for perso-
nal attack. But few, if any of the Othel
stores close now at an earlier hour than for
merly, but if the thing be asked simply al
a patriotic sacrifice, we should hardly sup
pose that the refusal Of a single firm to COM
to an arrangement would prevent other firm
from carrying out their desires. Although
Freeman 4 Kellogg's employees would doubt
less be glad 70 leave ct as early an hour as cal
be permitted, we do not learn that they fee
any dissatisfaction ct the course of their EN-

appear ance, and was received with three
times three cheers. He made brief address
to the company, giving an account of the
passage of the Grays from Lancaster to Phil

considerably uutil the citizens, finding out
their wants, endeavorec to assist them but
not until they had been nearly tl0elUe hOErs
without water or food. They are now COM
fortably situ ted, but all the muskets they
haze are the old fiint-loeks of 1885, and they
are not fit for service. Capt. Paddock re-
turned to Ohio partly on this account, but
Gov. Dennison gave him but little encour-
agement for better arms.
Capt. Paddock says that many of the
Grays are in want of underclothing, such al
shirts, drawers and socks, and any donation.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10Th, 1851.
DEAR -: We reached this city last
night, having left Lancaster on the 9th, at
o'clock in the morning, and were at once
marched out to '' Suffolk Park" which is
some six miles out of town. Itrained heav-
lily on our way out, and consequently we
were not in particularly dry condition on
our arrival, neither was the walk rendered
more pleasant by the heavy havresacks and
muskets which we carried. When our des-
tination was finally reached it did not add
at all to our comfort to learn that no quarters
were ready, nor any preparation made for
us. For this, however, ourown officers were
in fault, as they had not notified the Phila-
delphians Of our coming. We had had
nothing to eat from the time We left Lancas-
ter, and there was fair prospect of going
supperless to bed. OF course, both regi-
ments were good-deal dissatisfied at this
management, but Capt. Paddock finally said
that his men should not suffer while he had
anything 10 do with them, and he therefore
told us to take " French leave" We will
lingly complied with the suggestion, and
marched off to town, had good supper, en-
jOyed Ourselve generally, and remained all
night.
The citizens were very much displeased
with cur officers for not informing them of
our coming as they stood ready to
do anything to contribute to our comfort.
That they were since, we have found out BY
experience since.
Yesterday, two of our boys beside myself,
were taken in hand and showed all over the
city by dozen members of the Philadelphia
Light Guards. We visited the cemetery, and
the grave of the ever-to-be-remembered
FRANKLIN, the printer Patriot and sage waE
pointed out to US. We also went to the Navy
Yard, and took ride on the Delaware
Fhere are many fine buildings here, but the
streets look very narrow to Clevelander'
Our boys are in good spirits and feel al
Jolly as ever. To-day we have plenty t.
eat, and are i. other respects we'll provided
for. cannot say how long We shall re
main here, but the Captain says that W,
shall not move an inch until We receive goO'
arms. t..
Please let me know concerning the doing
of the " Relief Committee" as feel consid
cradle anxiety regarding my family.
