The Latest War News.
ll'rom the N. Y. Tribune, Of Monday. !

u
The news concerning the progress of tn,
War is not startling or definite There wer,
rumors at Perryville of skirmish between
United States troops and Virginia cavalry
but at the moment Of writing nothing au
thentic has arrived.
Fort McHenry has been still further re-
enforced |; l,200 men are now there. Gen
Butler, with so men and two pieces of can
non, went thither from Annapolis yesterday
There appears to be some reason to feal
that u movement is about being made upor
the Relay House by the Rebel troops al
Harper's Ferry
A messenger sent from Gov. Hicks Of
Maryland to Gov Letcher at Richmond ha,
returned, and reports that the Virginans
expected 10000 troops TO arrive from the
South at Richmond on Tuesday.
The scouts sent out from Washington daily
return with accounts Of bodies of Southern
troops ut Lynchburg, Richmond, Montgom-
cry, New Orleans and Pensacola; they state
that the men are anxious TO march upon
Washington, and that il this movement is
not made the officers will have difficulty in
retaining them.
The work Of preparing for the blockade
goes on briskly. Notice has been sent TO
foreign vessels in the Virginia psrts to leave
within fifteen days. In addition to the Ma.
tional vessels employed in the blockade, at
least twenty armed steamers from New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia are to assist. .
1t is said that three thousand applications
have already been made to the Southern
Contederacy for letters of marque. The
gentlemen Of the South rush to piracy as to
their natural sports II all those applicants
are successful, We may soon expect our wa
ters to swarm with the vermin Of that black
flag as thickly as do those Of the Chinese
seas. A few striking examples in the way
Of punishment, will, however, probably soon
have beneficial effect.
A number of Hnall sailing vessels upon
the Potomac have been recently fred upon
from Alexandria, and in some instances
their cargoes, chiefly Of fish and provisions,
have been stolen. The War Department
has determined to put an end to this, and
vigorous measures will at once be adopted.
An attempt was yesterday made to tear up
the track OF the Northern Central Railroad,
IA miles from Baltimore. Little damage
was done before the deed was discovered. II
will 80 hard with any miscreant who is caught
at this work.

The Regiment that Swears to March
Through Baltimore.

1t is pretty hard to keep the run of the
New York notions but it will not do to neg
lect Col Wilson's band of warriors. Last
"Wednesday evening, the "Union Battalion
of Iouaves," as they are called, which Col
Wilson commands, held formal muster and
roll call at their headquarters in Tammany
Hall. There were sci men of the battalion
present. The occasion was made strikingly
impressive by the extraordinary proceedings
which were had The men were ranged
around the hall three deep, with Col. Will
son and the other officers in the center of
the room. The men had all clad themselves
in the grey shirts and pants which have
been provided for their uniform, which is
completed by common brown felt hat, bro
gans and leather belt. They carry short
knife, about seven inches in length, between
a sort of u bowie knife aud butcher knife in
shape. Many also have revolvers, of which
it is intended that each shall be armed with
one or two, as well as slung-shot and Mianie
rifle. All the men being ranged against the
walls, Col Wilson with drawn sabre in one
hand and the American flag in the other,
stood forth uncovered and addressed his men
amidst deafening cheers.
After a short adjuration to the flag, for
which he declared hisdevotion, he called up
on all to kneel and swear with him. Wav-
ing the banner and fourishing his sabre, he
knclt on one knee. All present knelt with
him, and repeated the oath which he put to
them to support the flag, and never finch
from its path through blood or DEATH He
said he would lead them through Baltimore,
and they would march through it or die; at
which they all arose with tremendous yell,
flung up their hats and brandished their gilt.
tering knives amidst prolonged and frantic
cheers. He then denounced death to the
baltimore traitor secessionists and Plug
Uglies, and said they would leave monu-
ment Of their bones in the streets of Balti-
more. Amid yells of death to the Plug
Uglies," he illustrated with his sword how
they should hewtheir way, and said: though
he would be the first man slain, he had but
one thing to ask, which was that each of his
followers should secure his man and avenge
his sblood That they would do this, he again
called upon them to swear, and marching
around the hall, holding up the flag, and the
sword. and accompanied by two officers, the
one on the right bearing banner inscribed: :
THE UNION BATTALION OF zoUAvEs,"
DEATH TO sEcEssIoNIsTs.
The other officer on his left holding up, in
both hands, bowie knife and revolver
Wilson shouted to them to swear, and they
responded with shouts of blood, I" "blood,"
"blood, we swear" &C.
The band then struck in with the "Star
Spang]ed Banner" which they all sung in
chorus as well as also "Dixie's Land" al
tered to read with few variations:
