The criticisms concerning the cattle contract,
show that the writer knew nothing OF the facts
"a he misstates the number of cattle aud the
amount paid for them.'
The fact ia, that the Quarter.Nla General Oh
the army found, with great apprehension, that
times were troublOus, that cattle were not ar
rn ing. and that in event of the anticipated lnva-
SION. the troops here would suffer for meat, as
also for other food. Acting in that emergency
-four to the amount of thirty thousand barrels

could best be done, and he himself, under the
supervision of higher officers, made the beat ar
ranecment he could, and with which the Admin

LATEST WAR MOVEMENTS.

PERRYvILLg, Saturday May q 1861.
Tie steamer John Warner has arrived from Annapo-
lis. She left there this morning. There are thirty
thousand troops in Washington, including some Penn
sylyania regiments ns arrived.
Our troops will take possesson Of Alexandria tomor-
row. There is small force Of secessonists there, but
they keep concealed.
The Pennsylvania troops passed through Baltimore
last night, and are now in Washington.
The American flag now floats over Hayre de Grace
The people there are friendly to the Union.
The steamer Maryland left to-day fcrAnnapolis with
eight cara loaded with eoa and beams Of lumber on her
upper deck.
A transport, Just arrived from Annapolis, reports
passing feet Of sixteen steamboats,, loadedwth New
Jerey troops.

ton.
1t is supposed at the War Department that the
Secessionsts have gone TO Harper's Ferry, at
which point 1t is known there is large gather
ing OF Secession forces. 1t is also believed that
Jefferson Davis intends to make an early hostile
o,enlent, the first step of which will probably
be the burning of the bridge at Iiarpers Ferry,
crossing the Potomac River.
In this connection j. will be interesting to know
the exact number and position of our troops,
which information, coming from headquarters
may be relied upon. At Chambersburg, 5000;
York, 5000; Lancaster, 5,O0Oj Harrisburg,
10000; Washington, 10000.
A glance at the topography OF that section Of
the country will disclose the wisdom OF the di.
recting mind which has thus arranged the force,
and which has rendered the concentration OF
/ large body Of troops at or near Baltimore a
matter OF almost instant possibility.
Brooks. the spy who was arrested at Anna
! polls the other day, was tried before General
/ Butler convicted and Will probably be hung.
He seems to be a clever young fellow, IS OF q
good Maryland family, and says he opened the
! dispatches to prove to others that he had genuine
documents, and that, in the end, all viii be
found as he says. Ii seems a hard case, but
will prove terrible warning
| II is fact that Gov. Sprsgue has been offered
Brgadier- -Generalship, hut he had the good
sense to decline it on the ground that il would
be unconstitutional ior the Governor of state
to hold a Federal Office. Both he and Lieutenant
| Governor Arnold have done noby in this emer-
! gency OF the country, and deserve the highest
coInmendation. Probably The Times will admit
now that Gov. spragle is not Montgomery
| Constitution mon. Lieutenant-G Governor Arnold 8
wife is a Southern lady, and they own large
! property in Charleston.
| The Herald mas announced several times that
! Coy. Banks has resigned his position and several
times that he has not. The truth is, that Gov.
Banks has great executive ability, and desires to
use it. The Government know he has it, and
desire to avail themselves of it, and that is all.
His name has been canvassed by the Cabinet,
and probably high military position will shortly
be rendered to him, but nothing has yet been
done.

The Maryland Legislature, in their interview with
the President, this morning admitted both the right
and the power of the Government to bring troops
through Baltimore the State, and 10 take any
for the public safety, which IN the discretion
of the President might be demanded either by actual
or reasonably approhended exgencies. They ex'
pressed their belief that 10 immediate effort at Sc
Cesson resistance of the Federal Authority would
be attempted by the Legislature or State-Authorities,
and asked bsi in this view the State should long
possible be spared the evils Of military occupation

ressions. The President replied that their suggestions
and representations should be considered, but that he
should now say than that the public interest,
and not any spirit Of revenge would actuale HE
measures.
