The Philadelphia druggists won't sell any qunine

far more than the acclimated.
The Scotch Boys" fine Company from Richmond
County, arrived here yesterday. They are twelve
months volunteers and the Company numbers ninety
six men all told including officers. They are under
the command of Captain Charles Malloy.
They expect to shoot from the Rip Raps to Sewel's
Point some four miles The LincoIntes are used to
shooting with the long bow, but this il rather too
long They have not shot so we'll at shorter distanc
es as to make their fire at four miles very much to
be dreaded
There twelve thousand Federal troops in Missouri
FRIDAY, JUNE 21sT.
We see in the papers report that Gen. Lyon and the
whole force OF Federal troops under his command,
had been taken prisoners by the Missouri troops at
Boonville. As this comes associated with the report
of fight at Harper's Ferry, which we know to be
unlounded take it to be- at least very doubt
full. 1t is not impossible
The gun-boat Union" captured last week, off Savan-
nah, the brig Hattie Jackson bound from Matanzas
to Savannah with Molasses.
SATURDAY, JUNE 22D.
There has been collision between the Federal and the
State troops in Missouri but the particulars not
yet known. The telegraph in the hands of Lincoln s
agents, and therefore cannot be relied upon. Appa-
renty people out in Missouri are badly off for
military leaders upon whose skill and courage they
can rely
Lor
a convention of the people of Virginia passed resou-
tion reprdiatng the Richmond Convention and pro-
viding for a complete reorganization of the State.
They now propose to elect new Governor A new
State seal and other emblems of authority have been
ordered When things come straight, these men will
be hung if they do not first make their escape.
1t is supposed that the big Sawyer r6ed that
was to fire on SeaWel's Point from the Rip Raps
(only four mes) has bursted. On the occasion OF
its throwing its last SHE'LL which on the 18th
there was a strange report and much commotion
among the Lncolnites at the Rip Raps. Hence the
supposition of its bursting 1t has been silent ever
since
The Missouri Senators will not take their seats in Lin
coins Congress. One of their keeping away
is that they fear an arrest for treason.
The tories at Wheeling have nominated FRANK PIER
POINT for Governor of Virginia Who is FRANK PIER
POINT?
1t is said that the steamship Bavaria from Southamp
ton, arrived at New York on the Goth inst, with M
ty thousand rifles for the Federal Government.
The accounts from the Valley of Virginia and the West
conflicting, but it appears to be nearly certain
that the Con ederates, at first taken by SURPRISE
ralying at every point and that the Confederate
cause is rapidly advancing. General Johnson's move
ments around Harper's Ferry have had the happe8t
effect in clearing the Valley of marauders and reev
ing his own communications from any danger of be-
ing cut of at present. No doubt Cadwalladsr is
preparing to advance with large force, but pre-
that General Johnston is " master of the
situation" and will be ready to accommodate al
corners, in fact to give them warm reception. His
lines dotted between Martinsburg North of Har-
per's Ferry, and Winchester, South of it, the Ferry
being the key of the position.
The reports from Missouri too vague and uuauthen
tic to be given in detail. One of these reports il
tLat General Lyon, the Federal commander, had beer
forced to surrender with large body Of troops
Another report is that be engaged the State troops
completely routing them, and that Gov. Jackson flee
ANONYMOUSLY. 1t would appear, however, that The
Southerners in Western Missouri have been largely
reinforced, and are beginning to make good headwaJ
against the invaders. We hear it said, but will
how much foundation in fact we do not know, tina
some of our North Carolina Regiments now being
organized are intended for Missouri. We take i
that Missouri may at last be regarded of u.s.
Kentucky must follow, and poor Maryland will ye
rise spite of the traitors by whom she has been be
trayed.
The fight at Vienna Station, on the Alexandria and Lou
don Railroad, appears to have been more important
than had been supposed. The Washington lnteli
gencer reports two hundred missing the side of tn
Lncolntes. The Confederate troops captured sever
cars, number of arms, quantity of ammunition
mechanical instruments and medicines.
When Col. Benedixs German regiment from AIban,
