FROM NEW YORK..

New YORK, June &c.
The army paymasters to-day commenced
their disbursements to the troops.
A conference of military leaders was held
yesterday, and it is now thought the pro-
gramme will be changed, and a forward
movement will soon take place.
Secretary Chase will undoubtedly recon-
mend a moderate revision of the Morrill,
tariff bill.
The tone of foreign dispatches to our Gov
eminent are most favorable.
A member of the Senate Military Commit
tee expresses a determination to sift all
army appointments, with a view of their
fitness.
The Posts dispatch says:
That leading members Of Congress are re-
solved to do no general legislation at the
extra session coming. The business will be
exclusive to the war.
A letter from aboard the steamer Colorado,
dated at sea, 23d inst, states that the aft
standard of the engine which supports the
reversing shaft, broke on the evening of the
Goth. Examination showed that a piece had
been sawed out and replaced by soft iron
and carefully painted over. Further inves-
tigation showed that other parts OF the ma
chinery had been tempered with. The
same traitorous engineer had charge of the
Colorado that tempered with the Mississippi
engine.

FROM HAGRRsTOWN.
HAaERsrowN, June

hAGERsfoWN, June 70.
Intelligence was received to-day indicating
that Gov, Wise diyerged from a line Of at
tack on McClellan's column, and has gone to
repel the expedition said to have gone up the
Kanawha.
The secession force at Romney does not
exceed 800 men.
Col. jackson is opposite Williamsport with
five rebel regiments. 1t is also stated that
1000 troops are encamped near Falling Wa.
tiers, five miles from Williamsport.
The Express has arrived from Bunker's
Hill, saying that 6, 200 Virginia troops we're
lying there and at Martinsburgh, and various
points along the Potomac, between Hancock
and Harper's Ferry.
A strong battery is being raised upon
Wooded Hill, overlooking the fair grounds at
Winchester.
When Gen. Johnson evacuated Harper's
Ferry his whole column marched to Charles
ton, and from thence to Bunkers Hill, and
when, on Sunday, Gen. Patterson's column
crossed the river, he drew up his whole force
in line of battle, expecting to be attacked
from Bunker's Hill.
A large portion Of Gen. johnson force has
returned to Winchester.
Jackson's 5000 men have marched towards
the Potomac.
Gen. Johnson's force at Winchester did not
exceed 10000 men, unless reinforcemsnts
have arrived since Sunday last.
The plan of the Confederates is to draw
Gen. Patterson's column into Virginia, and
then retreat, fighting at all points where
there is a chance of successful resistance.

WASHINGTON, June 26.
It is understood here tonight that Gen.
Mcclellan denies having made any such
agreement with Kentucky authorities as has
been reported.
Major Gen. John A. Dix takes command
Of the invading army in Virginia, but Gen.
Mcdowell will be the acting commander.
1t is highly doubtful if any general adj
vance will be made before the meeting of
Congress. If this Is SO the Impotence of
the troops will hardly let them bear the de-
lay quietly.
The charges of the New York Tribune
that the Administration is considering any
plan OF compromise with the rebels, are
wholly without foundation. A member OF
the Cabinet is known to have stated in most
emphatic terms, that an unconditional sur
render of the rebels is the only basis of set
Element which will be accepted or thought
of. The war will be prosecuted vigorously.
We have reports of skirmishes upon the
Virginia side, but no bettls.
Since the late arrivals, it is estimated that
SO, 900 troops are in and around this city
Let Beauregard come on.
By means of Prof. loves ballooning, il
has been a~scertained that there are only SOC
rebel troops between our army aud Fairfax
Court House. This is much less than has
been supposed.
There is much good feeling here at the
success which is being ret with in the &C.

Forty confederate cavalry crossed the
Potomac this morning after the withdrawal
OF the Federal troops from Skaters Ferry,de-
stroyed the ferry boat and then recrOssed.-
The Federal cavalry pursued them unsuc-
cessfully.
Col. Lamon has raised three companies
for his Vagina regiment. Gen. Jsckson's
force has been increased by Eve thousand
rebels.
Its reported that Johnson's rear guard,
numbering 5000, having 30 pieces of heavy
artillery, besides a light battery, encamped
tonight within four miles of Msrtinsburgh.
They left Winchester Sunday night.
From the recent movement of our troops
it is evident that Patterson expects to strike
or receive a heavy blow. 1t is certain that
Johnson will not attempt to cross the Poto-
mac at Williamsport and face the heavy bat
teries there; and it is equally certain Patter-
son will not cross again.
Col. Wallace speaks Of assuming the Ofens-
i've Immediately, and is anxious to revisit
Romney.
The forces now coming from the West
will drive the rebels from the valley Of the
Potomac.

The Richmond Examiners Portsmouth
correspondent indicates that the rebels hourly
feared an instantaneous attack by land and
water. The arrival of the Aotilla Hampton
confirmed the fears. The rebels confidently
predict & signal triumph over them. A crew

Yorktown.
The rebels say Beauregard is ready to re-
ceive US. troops at the junction.
A number of prisoners had arrived at
Richmond.
Two batteries left Richmond on Monday

Hang the ComprOmisers.

We like the style of a Washington dis
patch to the N. Y. Herald, published here
with. 1t puts the compromises just where
they belong-in the same category with
traitors; and the intelligence that it has
been settled to press the war with the utmost
possible vigOr, and to crush out every parti-
Gle of rebellion, while it only confirms what
we have believed, still viii DO an immense
deal of good in r~eassuring the mass of the
people. And furthermore, the hint that any
man who shall dare to offer a proposition to
compromise with Southern rebels will be
hung as soon as he can be found, will possibly
have a quieting effect upon some of our
Northern traitors. This is no time for nice
distinctions. The man who would compro-
mise with traitors, is a traitor; and he who
~sympaihizes with rebellion is a rebel. Let
them understand that they will be treated as
such, and take warning in time.

Other scouts report the rebel pickets adj
vanced last night within six miles of Phil
lippi. The rebels were reported in strong
position, to take which, will require hard
fighting, and cost heavy loss.
The scounts think bush fighting, under
cover of mortar batteries, the best mode of
destroying the enemy.
The advance column at Phillippi was rein
forced to-day by McCOOk's regiment, who
struck tents at Webster at four o'clock this
morning, and marched into position at Phil
lippi at eight, in superb style, with music,
and oolors flying, being received enthusiast

ran dowRto Clarksburg yesterday, where
I found the 9Th and loth Indiana regiments
entren he'd in a most formidable position,
commanding Clarksburg. The Hoosiers did
an astonishing amount of labor in eight
hours, enclosing an area of three quarters of
a mile, on the crown of a bold mountain,
which commands all approaches.
The works consist OF entrenchments, stone
and earth walls, from six to ten feet high,
and hreastworks of trees and bush. TIE
Hoosiers also cleared about 4 acres of timber.
The amount of labor performed astOnished
the natives. The occupation of this position
and concentration of troops there, indicates
movement on Charleston.
Influential citizens in Federal custody at
Clarksburg sn suspicion, proclaim their
readiness to support Western Virginia pro-
visionaI Government, being satisfied that the
loyal Virginians are vastly in the majority.
They deny aiding tho enemy, representing
that they are victims of old partizan political
luminosity, and that they are held as hostages
tor their friends. The Union Virginifns are
bitter against them, threatening their lives
and property if they are released At Lean
ington, a few miles this side of harrisburg,
we saw the smoulderingembers of a mill be-
longing to a rebel in arms. 1t was burnt
that evening by loyal Virginians, who favor
the harshest t treatment of the rebels.
Durham, the scout, states that his only
brother was hung by s~ecessionists at Macon,
Ga, because he would not take arms.
The scout swore he would kill ten rebels
for revenge. He keeps tally and has three

day, and two to-day, one of whom was a Lieut..

Tie Case o. Emory.


A Philadelphia correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette makes this statement regard
ing the appointment Of Emory to the army
The Tribune to-day contains an exceed
ingly bitter paragraph on Their appointment
of Col. Emory, who had resigned, and the
non-recall of Harvey from Portugal. Ihave
heard from a private source of the, as yet I'M
published story of Emory which makes it
less merited In his case. IL seems that be-
fore these times had assumed their defined
character, although they were yet of far too
great Importance for an officer to think of
resigning, Col, Emory got somewhat annoy
ed, and fancied himself personally persecu-
ted by the Administration, and wrote q let
ter of resignation. He sent this to his broth
in Maryland, telling him not to hand it until
be had consulted with his wife Mrs. Emory,
a most noble woman, residing in Washing
TOM and also with Prof. Bache. Meantime
Col. Z. was sent out West and served the
Government most admirably. His brother
wishing to commit Col. f. to the secession
side did not consult with the wife nor Lieut..
Bache, nor show the resignation to any one,
but himself a rRbidI secessionist, he eagerly
sent it to the Secretary of War. Col. +.
had by this time distinguished himself at his
post in the West as a thoroughly loyal and
brave man, and his resignation was received
with unfeigned establishment. He had written
back to his wife ~forbiddlng that his resigna-
ton, written in q moment of personal pique,
should be handed in. 'Tf it has been done, -
he wrote, at is most deplorable." His wife
comprehended the state of things in a mo-
ment sped to the War Department but
was three minutes too late. The paper lay
on the Secretary's table as yet unopened; but
she could not recall it. These facts were
before the Government, their value enhanc-
ed by the really valuable services that Col.
E. had rendered, and by the advice OF COM
petent and loyal statesmen the entreaties OF
himself and his wife for restoration were
! complied with.

ternoon. She steamed to Matthias Point in
company with the Pawnee, when they dis
covered that the ~Confederates had arrived,
apparently with about 500 men, and were
encamped about a mile back from the point,
near a marsh. The Pawnee opened FIRE upon
the rebel camp, under cover of which three
boat loads Of men were landed. The enemy
fed in all directions, but the Federal forces
not being adequate, no pursuit was NADIA
Two horses, some overeoats and camp equip
age were captured by the crew. They were
there for the purpose of erecting u battery,
but had not yet succeeded, owing to the diff
fculty Of transporting their guns, &c.

Tia Sanitary Condition Of Our Army.


Tse Sanitary Condition Of Our Army.
Disease kills more men than bullets, and
exposure more than bombshells. Our vOlun-
teers are brave SIS lions against fire and
sword, but all their bravery goes for nothing
If they do not know how to protect them
selves from dysenterY and rheumatism
They 90 from comfortable homes and regular
habits 70 hard life and habits as irregular as
possible. It is no wonder then thatthe ranks
are depleted to ELL the hospitals. In the Crt-
mean war, England lost l 5000 men in the
hospitals, Is, 600 were discharged from the
anne as incurable, while only 2,65s were
killed in action, and l,76l died Of wounds
The French army suffered similarly from
disease. In the Mexican war only l,54s OF
our men died In battle or of wounds, while
more than $4,000 died Of disease
With such fearful facts before hin, R. c.
Wood, the acting Surgeon General of our
Army. addressed q letter to the Secretary Of
War, recommending the establishment of a
Commission, to be styled "a Commission
of Inquiry and Advice in respect Of the San
itsrv Interests Of the United States Forces"
This vas not intended to interfere with the
medical department of the army, but to CO.
operate with that for the good Of the whole.
In accordance with this request, the Commits
sion was appointed and instructed to direct
its inquiries and principles and practices con-
nected WITH the inspection of recruits and
enlisted men; the sanitary condition of the
volunteers; to the means Of preserving and
restoring the health, and of securing the
general comfort and efficiency of troops; to
The proper provision of cooks, nurses, and
hospitals; and to other subjects OF like ne
ture.
The Commission is composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen:

BEAUTY AND BooTY.-In Gen. Beauregard's
famous proclamation he says that the Federal
troops proclaim by their acts, ifnot by their
banners, that their war-cry is beauty and
booty" We submit that by sending his wife
to Massachusetts,, when the South had deter
mined On war, where she still remains, Gen.
Beauregard has left the world to infer one of
two things; either that be thought in his
Iady's want of personal charms and penury,
she had immunity from violence and out
rage, or else that when be penned these
words in his proclamation he knew that be
was gasconadlng. We trust for the lady's
reputation that his Veracity may suffer rather
than her personal appearance.
