A VIRGINIA VIEW OF THE FIREMEN ZoU-
AvEs-THE FIRST FAMILIES IN TERROR
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Examiner writes
The Fireman's Brigade from New York,
Colonel Ellsworth of 4" Chicago Zouave'' no.
toriety in command, arrived last evening.
Nearly the whole regiment 1, 1907 look
like the lowest refuse OF New York city.
Their uniform, which is evidently new,
looks like it has been worn six months in
some pork packing establishment. If you
were to meet one of them in a lonesome
place, You would instinctively produce your
wallet and hand it over. Such are the kind
of men that General Scott proposes to let
loose upon the soil of his native South
Great God can such iniquity prosper ?
Can the cold blooded Vaccinations of the
Blairs, Lincoln, ct a., meet with the appro-
val of Christianized world? win not the
Lord, in his wrath, strike the vile incendi-
aries, who are ready to use such instru-
ments, with his direst vengence, pour upon
their heads the vias of his Indignation, and
sink them to the lowest depths of perdition

Sr Lots, May Is The csse Of Capt
Mcdonald came up before Judge Treat this
morning. The writ vas served on Gen.
Harvey, who answered ia writing, 10
the effect that the person, Capt. Nc
Donald, no being at the arsenal, nor
within reach of the officers of the court
could no: be produced. That he deplor-
ed as much as any man the state of things
existing here, but was bound to maintain
the higher law of the Government, and crush
every effort at rebellion. That Capt. Nc
Donald was taken prisoner while lending
his coantenance ana support to an assem-
biage of men whose every act, move, and
design, was in opposition to the Govern
ment of the United States. That he doubt
ed whether if Capt. Mcdonald was still
held at the arsenal, be would be justified in
delivering him upon the demand that had
been made upon him. That the whole mat
ter had been referred to the authorities
at Washington, and that he should await
and endeavor to carry out instructions lie
might receive in relation thereto.
Uriel Wright, one of the counsel for Nc
Donald entered demurrer, and Judge Treat
postponed the matter till the regular session
of the court, Monday next, as the subject
was a grave and important one, and if de-
ended In chambers might reopen the whole
case hereafter.

Major Andersen's Directions for Hos
pi. al CON- emiences.

The Providence Journal publishes the
following directions which Major Ander-
son lately gave some ladies who consulted
him respecting hospital conveniences:
The ladies had better not attempt to furn-
ish articles of food tor the sick ana wound
ed. 1t would require thousands of dollars
in the first place, besides, the hospitals are
all supplied with what is necessary. How
ever, if the ladies would furnish the follow
ing articles they would add greatly to the
comfort of the poor fellows who may be
sick and suffering:
A large supply of Canton flannel night
shirts, large and long
Green silk eye-shades, with elastic bands.
Common slippers of large size.
Hospital knapsacks-they can be found
at No. ALB Eighth avenue, New York
Field tretchers-Alexander, No. As
Wooster street, makes the woodwork, and
Tyler, No. % East Broadway, the canvas
part.
He (Najor Anderson) says no one can
know but one who has been with an army
in the field the great comfort and blessing
the above named articles are to poor suffer-
ing humanity.

ST. Louis, May 15.-After the examind-
inatiOn OF many witnesses, the corouer':
jury returned the following verdict in the
Camp jackson case. That the several victims
of the events which took place at Camp
Jackson on the 10Th Of May, came to their
death from gun shot wounds inflicted by
musket bullets, discharged by certain United
States volunteers under command Of Genl

others. Examination of witnesses relative to
the tragedy of Saturday evening not yet
finished.
The application for a writ of a habeas
corpus in the case of Capt. Mcdonald, on
Monday, was not granted by Judge Treat,

ed by Justice OF the Peace, and cunse-
quently could not be received by the United
States Court. Yesterday the Z. S. Commits
sioner visited the Arsenal to certify Nc
Donald's petition, when he was informed
by Gen. Lyon, that Capt. Mcdonald was a
prisoner of war, and, moreover, was not in
Missouri The affidavit of the prisoners
brother was then properly attested, and the
writ issued returnable at ii o'clock this

dination has taken place among United
States soldiers, but on the contrary says
they have submitted with alacrity and
to the discharge of service.
The public schools of this city will be
closed on Friday next, in consequence of
the act Of the Legislature prohibiting the
of the school fund.

New YORK, May I5.-Col. Anderson left
this morning for Cincinnati, via Pittsburg.
The Worlds Washington dispatch says,
two gentlemen connected with Southern
telegraph lines, and forwarded with passes
by Gov. Pckens, arrived, and confirm all
the reports about military preparations in
North Carolina and Virginia. Beauregard
has not been in Richmond. The prevailing
sentiment is that an attack must and will
be made on Washington. 1t was thought
Davis would take the field on the border as
soon as his military preparations are COM
pleted Gen. Lee is chief commander of the
confederate forces in Virginia. Gov. Letch-
er has prohibited the military authorities
from giving passes to persons to leave the
State.

| WASHINGTON, May 16.-The assurances
that the Administration is prosecuting its
| measures against the insurrectionary States
! have substantial basis. All the members
of the Cabinet, together with the President
are animated by a common principle in
furthering the plans for the consummation
Of the Governments policy. An increased
stimulus was, however, applied to-day. A
committee of prominent gentlemen from the
city of New York, had long interview
with them, and the result was their consent
to accept the services of fourteen additional
regiments from New York. This meets
with the concurrence of Lieut.. Gen. Scott.
The committee urges more prompt and eff
fective measures, with no halt in the pro-
ceedings, and 1t appears from their private
conversations that the supply of money to
support that increased force is a matter
which should occasion no concern to the
Administration.
A report is current that an engineer Off
Ger has discovered that Virginians are
throwing up defences within spy-glass view
Of Washington. This may be a repetition
Of former unfounded rumor. AT all events
if it should be confirmed it is not at all pro-
bable that the Government would remain
an Indifferent observer of the proceedings.
Marshal Fisher, Of the Eastern District
of Virginia, is the only judicial officer of |
that State who has not resigned.
The following appointments have been |
made: Royal Bank, Register of the Land |
Office at Nebraska City, and James J. Sin
clair, Register at Marquette, Mich, Ed. E. |
Basseth P. NJ at Toledo.
At the adjourned term of the Court of .
Claims to-day, only one Judge (Loring) |
was present, who adjourned over until the
4th of July. The presiding Judge, Scar
borough, having resigned, there is a va
cancy on the bench.
The Virginia and North Carolina colec-
tors, like those of the other states, have

partment

PHILADELPHIA, May l5.-Col. Anderson
arrived here this evening. He remained
but few moments. 4 large lumber of the
members Of the Legislature, Gov. Curtin,
and others, were present. Also, an immense
concourse of people and twelve companies
of soldiers from Camp Curtin. The Colonel
was greeted with loud cheers. He stated
to Gov. Curtin, that John c. Breckenridge
would join him at Cincinnati, to take a
command under him. This announcement
created profound and gratifying sensation
among all classes. Col. Anderson also sta
ted that the European steamer yesterday
brought large quantity Of improved arms
for the Federal Government, and each sue
ceeding steamer will bring more. He ex-
pressed the utmost confidence of the final
success of the federal arms, and reconstruc-
ton Of the Union on the original basis.

WHEELING Virginia, May 15.-Nothing
of special importance occurred in the Con-

ness was Carlisle's motion Of last night, to
reconstruct the report of the Committee on
State and Federal relations. Mr. Wiley,

sing the motion and advocating the adoption
of the report of the committee. He was fol-
lowed by Mr. Paulstey, of Mason County,
who opposed Mr. Carlisle's proposition at
this time
