MAJ. AEDERSON TO SPEAK TO KENTUCKY
From NEW York.

New YORK, Nay THE Tribuneis Washington
correspondent says that Government has certain
advices that there are between 5000 and 5000
troops In the vicinity of Fairfax Court House, Va.
and that within two days march of Richmond there
are at least 10000 available men. whose desire and
expectation Is soon to be in Washington.
An agent who was at Gen. Buffers camp this
morning says there is battery planted the 9TH
er side of the Patapseo river, which can rake him
effectually. He informs Gen. Butler of it. who at
once made preparation TO take it.
Brigaeier General Cooke, commenting the rebel
military troops and defenses on the Potomac border
of Yrgnis says that Gen. Ruggles has taken up his
quarters at Fredericksburg. He Cooke is to take a
position in front of Washington connecting with
the commanding officer at Harper's Ferry on his
left and thus cover and defend the Potomac border
against invasion from the North he adds the capt.
tai has never been threatened by US. 1t is not now
been threatened it is beyond and outside the linn
its of thessOvereign State Of Virginia. The North
has not openly, according to the usage of civilized
nations declared war on u.s. We make no war on
them, but should the soil or the grave of Washing
ton be polluted by the tread of single man in arms
from North Of the Potomac it will be cause of open
war
Dispatches to the Herald say the forces at the Re
lay House have been reinforced to-day, and at one
and half hours notice further reinforcement of
to 5000 could be furnished Gen. Butler. Before
the troops from Harper'g Ferry could approach
near enough to give General Butler battle, they
would be harrassed by the Pennsylvania troops now
in their vicinity There is no fear of any fighting
at Baltimore. Unless attack made by some
impetuous and disorganized mob, there can be no
formidable regular battle.
New York and Philadelphia have been made mill
tary depots. Troops will be concentrated in these
cities TO be sent at last emergencies to aDypont by
sea or land.

From Harrisburg.

HARRISBURG, Pa. May 1T seems to be the dis
position of some of the members of the Legislature
TO restrain the Governor from using full military
prerogative commandments. Any such bill
will certainly be vetoed.
Mr.. Williams of Allegheny, proposed preamble
and resolutions, reviewing the Baltimore massacre
of troops. 1t says they were brutally murdered !;
declares the right of the Federal troops to pass
peaceably over any part of the soil of the United
States; that the slaughter of troops is treason,
whether done under authority of State or private
persons; calls on the Government to demand the
surrender, for condign punishment, of all persons
engaged in the riot says the refusal of the Border
Slave States to contribute the quota of troops or
their assuming State neutrality, is remuneration
of their allegiance that it is the duty of the Gov
ernment to reduce revolted citizens to uncondition
al submission, and that compromise can or ought
TO be made.
