PennsVIvenIain1h the War

Conflicting statements have been pub
the Old Keystone State has sent to the
war. A citizen of Evansville, and ma
tive of that State, Mr.. J. w. Fl. Risinger,
recently addressed Gov. Curtin letter,
asking for information upon the subject
The following answer was received:
j. W. Il. Rissnger, .Esq.-DEAR SIR
Your letter asking information relative to
the number of troops furnished by this
State has been received.
1t affords me great pleasure to be able to
answer you 90 tavorably. We have now
around Washington City $4,000 troops;
consisting of one full regiment of artillery,
and two of cavalry, and the rest infantry.
In addition, we have sent a brigade to
Kentucky. We have in the various camps
throughout the State nearly 10000 men,
who are ready to GO forward as soon as
clothed and equipped by the United States.
Instead of being behind in our quota, we
are considerably over it, to say nothing of
the great number of Pennsylvanians who
have gone to make up the regiments from
other States. New York, New Jersey, and
California have all drawn on the "Old
Keystone" to fill up their various quotas
You may well boast Of your old molher
Pennsylvania now. Our fifteen reserve
regiments are in the advance at Washing
ton, within one mile of the rebel pickets.
| We expect TO hear good report from them
when the hour of action arrives. Hoping
| you may never have any more cause to be
ashamed of your native State than now, l
remain, Respectfully yours,
W. P. WILSON,
Private Sec'y.
| II will be seen that Penusylvania has
sent-incIudlng NegIey's brigade-ss, 800
men out of the State, not her full quota by
any means. The 10000 "who are ready to
| go forward as soon as Clothed and equipped
by the United States" cannot properly be
added TO the number of Pennsylvania troops
until they are actually In service. Pennsyl'
vania's quota is $500 When all her
troops are sent from the State, she will have
only 300 men over her quota in the field
! The State cannot claim those of her citizens
who have enlisted in regiments formed ou
Of the State. Pennsylvania, although Dor
dering upon the field of battle, has not don'
as well as Indiana. We have sent oH q
the State 80. 6s7 men, without counting
those who have enlisted in the regiments o
| other States, and which must necessarily be
lost to Indiana, as no official record of thei
number is on file in Indianapolis. The
quota of this State is 36,5o0 30 that WI
have now sent into the field 3,Os7 men NOR
than our quota aud still have as many regi
ments left in camp as Pennsylvania (twen
ty), many Of which, like the 42nd, ar
already armed and equipped and ready Il
move. Pennsylvania has done well, but
reference to stubborn figures proves tna
Indiana has done better than Peunsy lvania
or any other State in the Union

The news from England, in the forepart
OF the week, continued rather unfavorabIe
for breadstnfs, and prices declined in New
York, but the advices by the last steamer
report Reaction, and slight advance in
prices. We have repeatedly stated that a
large demand must exist from France and
England for breadstufs, throughout the en-
tire season, and no alarm need be felt that
prices can be permanently lower than thew
are now. In other years, indeed we NAV
say, generally speaking France has had =
surplus of breadstufs to export to FOREIGN
countries; and, in 1859 she furnished Eng
land with as much as Russia, Prussia and
the United States combined, but this wear
she is and will continue to be large i'm
porter from this aud other countries The |
crops in Russia are represented as full |
average, also the countries bordering on the |
Mediterranean, but the wants of France and |
England are large beyond a doubt and
whilst they have good crops from whence
to araw their supplies in Europe, there is a
much less surplus in the United States than
there was in 1860.

the hill and up the opposite slope, where
they we're exposed TO a fire from infantry
on both sides, and the artillery in 'front.'
Seeing the impossibility of making a sue
cessful charge in the brush, an order to
wheel was given, and just as it was being
executed, murderous FIRE was poured in
upon them, and Major Gavitt, Capt. High
man, and two privates fell, aud several 9th

They were quickly supported by Col.
PIummer, and our united forces rapidly ad-
vancIng, the enemy began to fall back, and
In snort time the route was complete
The infantry pursued them three or four
miles, and the cavalry ten miles 1t is a
complete victory.
The rebel loss is not less than 100 killed,
and many competent judges place it as
high as $50. Of their wounded there is
but little means of knowing, as they were
carried off the field, but it is probably In
about the usual proportion to the killed.
Twelve or fifteen were left on the field
Three OF their cannon were captured, and
quantity of old dint-lock rifles shot
guns, &c.
The following is a list of our killed and
wounded so far as it can now be ascertain

The Attack upon Washington.


PHILADELPHIA, April 20 "A gentleman just
arrived here from Wilmington. n G., leaving
there Friday and Richmond on Saturday, states
that the people of n. C. were all up in arms, and
were preparing to come North with several thou.
sand troops, for that purpose. Gov. Ellis show.
ed him dispatch which he had received from
Montgomery, stating that some 5000 troops
were on their way to join those of North Caro-
lima about to leave for Richmond, and that it
was the purpose OF the Confederate Goyer.Ment
to make an attack without moments DELAY !;
that if they were to attack it tmust be done be-
fore the Federal Government had concentrated
large force at Washington. He converscd
with Gov. Letcher On Saturday morning. and
that gentleman told him it was the purpose Of
the Southern States to attack Washington at
once. He (Letcher) had advised against 1t, but
the Confederate Government were for instant
attack ne ssys he has no doubt the attack
would be made very soon, and ut several points
at the same time, and that every little village
was bristling with tayonets, and people We're
perfectly frantic. H. saws further that Gov.
Ellis showed him a dispatch from, Pensacola,
dated 26th. from Gen. Bragg, stating that no
attack on Fort Pickcns up to that time had been
made 1t was hot his purpose to attack 1t for
some time.

FREDERICK, N. D., April 27.-The Governors
Message briefly details the startling events
which has induced him to assemble the Legisla-
ture. He iabored earnestly to induce the Pres-
dent to forge his purpose Of passing troops
through Maryland, but the reply was, it was q
military necessity, which rendered it unfavora-
tile.
He refased Gen. Butler consent to land forces,
and protested against his taking possession of
the Annapolis Railroad Notwithstanding our
most learned and int. lligent citizens admit the
right of our Governments to transport troops
over the road, it is evident that portion Of
Maryland oppose the exercise of this right His
convictions are that the ssfety Of Maryland lies
in preserving neutral position between the
North and South.
Maryland violated no right of either section
and we have done all we can to avoid the inl-
pending war. He hoped Mar, land might act as
u mediator, cannot counsel MARYLAND to take
sides against the General Government until it
shall commit Nh outrage upon her which will
justify her in resisting i,s authority.
Our geographical position alone forces US to
this This had been all the while the ground
work Of his conduct He was convinced that
it had been approved by large majority of the
people. He appeals to the Legislature not to
he swerved by passion, but act with prudence
and christiap.iike temper.
The Senate passed bill prohibiting the is
sue OF notes under IS, under penalty
The Senate adopted an address to the people
of Maryland, stating that the Legislature will
not pass an act of secession, but if the people
desi,e e, it will give them an opportunity Of de-
claring for themselves their future destiny.
The House has not acted thereon, but has ap-
pointed a committed to report an act calling a
