MATTERS IN VIRGlNIA-The Confederates in
Fairfax County, Virginia, are pick ing up young
and old, and forcing them into the army.
One day last week two parties of rebel cavalry
had a brush, each mistaking the other for the
3" Yankees" and after both were whipped they
made tracks toward Manassas
The crops are entirely destroyed, and their
horses fed upon the grain and corn without any
regard for economy, more being wasted than is
eaten. Corn is trampled and broken down,
shocks of gram scattered about the fields, hogs
roofing and upturnlng potatoe fields, and every
thing going to destruction.

Neglect Somewhere.

It is greatly to be feared that the raw
troops we are hurrying forward to the seat
of war are not likely, from the condition they
are in, to reflect much credit upon their
State, or prove very servceable as soldiers.
At Camp Curtain, near Harrisburg, we are
told by gentleman who has just returned
from there, all is disorganization, and
the..gathering has more the appearance of a
mob than au army. If the country COM
pauies and regiments which have passed
rhrough Philadelphia may serve as fair
speciment we should judge this report to
be true. After midnight on Monday they
fred off guns as they marched through the
streets Of our city. Wesaw several COM
panies. They had arrived in the city du-
ring the night, and had had nothing to eat
since leaving Harrisburg. When we saw
them they were discontinued, iusubordiDate,
and swearing at the city, their officers and
everything else. They had each man loaf
of bread stuck on his bayonet, that being
the only way they could carry their next
meal, as they had no knapsacks. A blank
ct was slashed around the body, and some
had what seemed like satchel hung at the
side, which we took to be either pouch
for cartridges or place to put ration of
meat Others had no cartridge pouch at
all, and on being asked pulled their cart
ridges out of their pockets, which seemed
to be stuffed full of them. One man told
US that he had been furnished with no ra-
ton since he left his home in Huntingdon.
A number of companies from Schuylkill
looked as though taken fresh from the
mines, hands and faces being blacked with
coal dust. Indeed, all of them might be
regarded fairly as the great unwashed,
whether coming from Schuylkill or any
where else. As for uniform, we did not
see the slightest pretence to it among any
of these men. One German company had
not even arms. Several companies had 20
drummers, and there was one regiment so
completely disorganized that the men could
not tell the names of any of their officers
except the Colonel. Inquiries for the quar-
termaster seemed to be fruitless, as there
appeared to be none, and yet there were
over six hundred men in this regiment,
commanded, too, by member of the Leg
islature. philadelphia North american.
FORT PIcKENs.-A Pensacola CORES.
poudent of the Savannah Republican
writes, April 81, as follows:
As to when the fight will come off, no
one here, of course, knows. Each party
seems disposed to hold off for the present,
to make more thorough preparation. Now
that Pickens has been reinforced, [ can see
nothing to be gained by precipltate action,
and everything to lose. We should be
thoroughly prepared. 1 give it as my can
did opinion that the Confederate States viii
never possess Fort Pickens. When the
United States forces find the place untena

The Feeling in New York.

From the new 1OTK HeTuU vi IeceuV
date, we take the following:
W1LsoN's ZoUAvEs.-At seven o'clock
last evening the Union battalion of Zou-
aves, Col. William Wilson, held formal
muster and roll call at their headquarters in
Tammany Hall. There were S6l men of
the battalion present. The occasion was
made strikingly impressive by the extraor-
dinary proceedings which were had. The
men were ranged around the hall three
deep, with Colonel Wilson and the other
officers in the centre 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 COM
mon brown felt hat, brogans and leather
belt They carry short knife about seven
inches in length, between sort of bowie
knife and butcher knife in shape. Many also
have revolvers, of which it is intended they
shall be armed with one or two, as we'll
as a slung shot and Minnie rifle. All
the mel ranged against the walls, Colonel
Wilson with drawn sabre in one hand and
the American flag in the other stood forth
uncovered and addressed his men amidst
deafeuing cheers.
After short adjuration to the flag, for
which he declared his devotion, he called
upon all to kneel and swear with him. -
Waving the banner and Aourishiug his sa-
bre, he knelt 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 to Baltimore,
and they would march through it or die;
at which they all arose with tremendous
yell, flung up their hats and brandished
their glittering knives amidst prolonged and
frantic cheers. He then denounced death
to the Baltimore traitor secessionists and
Plug Uglies, and they would leave monu-
ment of their bones in the streets of BaItl-
more. Amid yells of "Death to the Plug
Uglies," he illustrated with his sword how
they should hew their way, and said though
he should be the first man slain, he had but
one thing to ask, which was that each of
his followers should secure his man and a.
venge his blood. 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 a
banner Inscribed
1.-THE Union Battalion Of Zouares.
Death to ScceSSionists." s."
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," "blood. "
owe swear, &C."
The band then struck in with the "Star
Spangled Banner" which they all sang in
chorus, as we'll as also "Dlxie's Land" al
tered to read with few variations

Away, away &c.
