more and Ohio Railroad.

The Western express train, which left the
Camden station at 3.45 yesterday afternoon,
passed the Relay House in safety. Conductor
Bryson brought in the western train last even
ing, and reports the troops above the Relay
House, and everything quiet. The telegraph
wires and poles at the Relay House, and on
the line Of the road, had been cut for several
miles, to prevent communication with 3alti-
more and Harper's Ferry. The movements
of the troops to the Relay House was known
in Virginia and at Harper Ferry, and there
were counter movements in consequence.

A RETURN OF BARBAaIsM. administra-
ton Of Abraham Lincoln, remarks cotcm-
porary, will go down to posterity as the
blacklist page of our country's history The
ruthless destruction of public property, the
insane hatred of the South, which marks cv-
cry act Of The administration, is worthy of
the old age of barbarism, when the northern
hordes of Cloths were poured upon the shores
Of France and desolated that country with
fire and sword. The same spirit now animates
Lincoln and his followers. They would Gf
they conid) desolate the South, butcher its
inhabitants, and give their property to the
yandal hordes that have focked to the des-
pots standard. We are told that the Capitol
is fast being ruined by the parties who have
been quartercd there by order Of Lincoln. The
impression is that il will eventually have to
be given up to the South, and when that time
comes the randals Win destroy it, as they did
the property at Norfolk and Harpers Ferry.
We may well say that Lincoln and his ad-
mnistration are inaugurating an era of blood
and barbarsm which will bring an eternal
disgrace upon them and our country.

Occupation Of Baltimore.

1t is reported that the government has de-
cided TO occupy Baltimore. The army of oc-
cupation will move in four columns; one
from Perryville, one from Harrisburg, one
from Annapolis, and one from Washington.
1t was understood yesterday that the Adams
House, corner of Hanover and Pratt streets,
and the National Hotel, Camden street, near
Howard, (now vacant, were both to be taken
possession of by the federal government, and
converted into quarters for troops soon to be
sent here. There was much excitement in the
vicinity of the above hotels last evening on
account of the rumors.

and from there the expedition Of Western

Honse Committee on the Militia, embracing
nineeoeu pages Of printel matter, for
complete reorganization Of the Illinois
militia, dividing the forces into sections,
deaominated respectively, Active, Reserve,

be known as the "Illinois State Troops,"
and to consist Of volunteer companies who
should receive one and two dollars per
day for actual duty, and fifty dollars
per annnsn to each Company for armory
expouses, in time Of peace; and the pay,
subsistence and transportation ofthe United
States army, in time Of war. The entire
annual expense tosthe State in time Of
peace, in keeping up the Active Militia and
providing for their drills, parades encamp-
