eyer, pronounced boldly for the war for the

night.
PARADE or Pennsylvania TROOPS.
The I'd aud Stu Pennsylvania Regimeots made
fine appearance on the Avenue to-day. They
were well equipped, and marched il perfect or
der. These, and the six other new Penn
sylyania regiments, do credit to the State.
The Hon. Samuel Thomas Deputy Secretary
Of the State Of Pennsylvania, has been here for
q couple of days, on business with the War De.
partment. He also brought instructions from
Gov. Curtin 70 the agent Of the State here, TO
leave nothing undOne calculated to add to the
comfort and efficiency Of the volunteers.
THE CALIFORNIA REGIMENT.
The California Regiment, Col. Baker, also
paraded tue Avenue to-day. Their appearance
refutes the charge of decentralization against this
regiment, lately made in GONE quarters.
THE DEAD OF BULL Run.
A citizen Of Jefferson County, Va, says that
o. corpses have been taken from the battlefield
Of Bull Run to Winchester, 10 to Martnsburg
aud 10 to Charlestown. These being not the

FIRING N TIE DIRECTION OF SENECA MILLS.

reports heavy firing heard from the direction Of

and one or two pieces Of artillery have gone up

that there is something 10 the rumoi.

ments BILLED two disuniOn cavalry last night,

MOVEMENTS or BEAUREGARD.
Beauregard is paying a visit, according to adj
vices from within his lines, az Charleston, S. c.
FLAG OF TRUCE FROM TIE ENEMY.
Another flag of truce has come from the en-
envy, and, we are happy to say, its bearer is
received with less consideration than was Lieut.
Col. TAYLOR. Last evening, Lieut. Hanger Of the
Sixth Georgia Regiment came within our lines
at Bailcys Cross Roads, bringing dispatches
from GeD. Johnston. Acting Brignder-Gen.
McCuun sent the package to Gen. Mcdowell,
but kept the bearer and his escort at his camp.
Duplicates of these dispatches were forwarded
to Gen. Mcclellan, who laid them before the
President.
We understand that these dispatches are Of 40
special importance. 1t is certain that they do
not relae to an exchange or treatment Of prison-
era to the burial Of the dead or the care Of the
wounded. The fact that they were addressed to
Gen. Mcdowell, aud not to the President, indicates
that they are Of no political moment. 1t is un-
derstOod that they raise an entirely new ques-
ton, however, which Il considered Of no import
ance.
THE ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
The Senate did no, reach the army appointments
to-day l. may act upon them tomorrow and it
is to be hoped that it VIII at once take up the
nominations OF Brigadier-Geuerals for whose con-
Arination the organization of Gen. McClelan's
army waits. He works day and night, and is in
frequent consultation with the President and the
Cabinet, but until the troops are permanently
brgaded he cannot use them effectively. With
organization will come action, and that before
either the Rebels or those who week ago des-
paired of the Republic expect
ORDER.
The streets Of Warrington are as quiet TO-
night as on the dullest Summer evening IN time
of peace. Ladies are taking the air in thorough
reliance upon the excellent arrangements Of
Provost Marshal Porter and the only indications
that there are any soldiers near the eity are in
occasional distant bursts Of martial music, or
the measured tread of patrols Of regulars
We would not desparage the efforts Of Gen.
Mansfield, to preserve the peace, Tor how could
he be- expected, with twenty-five regulars and a
small squad Of cavalry, who did distant patrol
.uS scouting duty, TO keep as good order as is
now kept By 800 or 400 regulars.
