WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The Governor OF
Delaware has appointed Dupont Maj. Gen.
of that State. He is a graduate of West
Point, has seen service, and is the celebra-
ted manufacturer of gunpowder.
The Commercial learns from an authentic
source, that the extra session of Congress
will be short. The business will be com
pactly arranged and presented. According
to present appearances almost perfect una
nimity will prevail. An impetus will be
given to the loyal sentiment, and everything
done that can be 10 bring the contest TO a
speedy termination
Information, just received, leads to the
firm belief that England and France will
concur with our Government in the steps
taken to re-assert ner authority This is
also the case with all the diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Washington. A cordial under
standing exists Will them all. 1t will be
found that Lord Lyon will FULLY sustain the
views expressed in the instructions to Mr.
Adams

ST.. Louis, May 2l.-Gen. Price pledges
the whole power of the State officers to
maintain order among the people of the
State. Gen Harvey declares that this OBJ
ject being assured, he can have no occasion,
as he has no wish, to make military move
ments which might otherwise create ex-
element and jealousies which he most ear
nestly desires to avoid. They, therefore,
enjoin upon the people of the State to at
tend to their civil business, and express the
hope that the unquiet elements, which
have threatened so severely to disturb the
public peace, may soon subside, and be re-
membered only to be deplored.

THE PET OF THE REGIMENT.-The Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment (says the Boston
POST has its daughter" the Independent
Boston Fusileers have their "Little Corpo-
ral," and now a company of Col. Cass's
has taken to itself "a pet."-The circum-
stances of the latter case are as follows
On Wednesday last, as the Davis Guards,
composed of adopted citizens, left Milford
for Boston in order to join Col. Cass's regi-
ment, little boy, eight years old, named
James O'Donnell, hid beneath one of the
car seats, and was not discovered until the
company reached Boston. His uncle took
him back on Saturday. Yesterday morning,
to the utter establishment of everybody, the
little hero made disappearance at Fa neuI
Hall, having walked the whole distance,
thirty-one miles, from Milford to Boston, on
he railroad track. Cheer after cheer welcom-
ed him as he declared he was bound to fol-
low the Davis Guards wherever they went.
Major Peard at once took the little fellow
on the platform, and presented him as the
Pet of the Regiment. He was adopted amid
the widest enthusiasm, and will be known
in the regiment as the "Seochrrur," that be-
ing an Irish term for "the wanderer"

ANDREW JOHNSON OF TENNESSEE DEFYIHG
THE REBELs.-The Washington National
Republican of Saturday says:
We have heard reliably from Senator John
son as late as last Monday. When he was
sixty miles west of Knoxville, on his can
vass of the State, which votes upon the sth
of June upon the subject of Secession. Mr.
Johnson and his friends were, at that date,
hopeful. The passage of the Ordinance of
Secession by the Legislature is nothing, as
that body has been for Secession from the
start At Knoxville the Union men were
Union candidate for Governor, Mr.. Camp
bell, by the Convention presided over by
William H. Polk, brother of the late Pres
ident has, given animation to the cause
The election of Governor comes off in Au-
gust.
The style of Mr.. Johnson's canvassing
may be judged of from the commencement
of his speech at Cleveland, Tennessee, where
threats against him had been largely indul-
ged in. He told the crowd that he "did
not come here to be shot but to shoot;" that
if there was to be fight he and his friends
were ready for it. and that he .prefersd to
finish up the fighting before making his speech.
Nobody coming forward to fight, the in
trepid Senator proceeded to speak, and by
the time he had finished, nineteen-twenti-
eths of the audience were with him. He told
them, among other things, that JEFF. Darts
and the Governor Of the State ought to be
hanged and they acoula be hanged, at that not
far distant period when the judicial power of
the Government could be brought to bear
upon them.

1s@ The ladies of New York city have
done nobly in providing for the comfort Of
the volunteers from that city and State
Indeed, it has been owing in great measure
to their exertions, that the regiments from
New York city have been organized and
equipped with such rapidity as to almost
startle the country. The Tribune gives us
the following account Of the origin and pro
gress Of the movement instituted by the la
dies Of that city:
At first the organization of the various
associations appeared in the form of lint
and bandage movement but weeks since
they had prepared a sufficient quantity of
both lint and bandages to supply the wants
of the United States army for a ten-years'
war. Fingers, as well as sewing machines,
have been almost continually at work, and
the result is thousands of hospital garments
and articles of bedding, such as shirts for
the sick, quilts, sheets, flannel shirts and
drawers, night-caps, pillow cases, and nu-
merous other articles, the value of which is
only to be duly estimated in the course of
hospital experience. Then they have col
Iected vast quantities of luxuries for the use
of the sick and wounded soldiers, such as
wines brandies, jellies of all kinds, preserv-
ed fruits and meats, mild but nourishinp.-
From all accounts, everything is now ready,
although the ladies continue to ply needle
and thread and suppliant voices for addi-
tiOnal forces to aid in the further prosecu-
ton of the work, and the proper articles
necessary TO furnish the military hospitals
with every comfort

CowARDIcE OF BLANToN DUNcAN.-A cor
respondent of the New York Times, who
recently visited the rebel camp at Harper s
Ferry, says:
a hundred Kentuckians, commanded by
Col. Duncan, of Louisville, was sent to
Harper's Ferry. They came without arms,
and are stout young men, mostly from the
borders of Tennessee. They believe their
Colonel to be coward, and at Lynchburg
one of their sergeants, in a speech made to
the men on the eve of their departure, de-
nounced the Colonel, who was present, and
made no reply.

Not Aitncetl1ar Il.,Rteresteh


The Southern newspapers TEEN with
abuse of the North for what they call our
mercenary character. Everything we do
or propose is to make money-a dirty bust
ness, entirely beneath Southern chivalry, of
course. But here is a slight touch of anoth-
err character, which we quote from good Sc
cession authority:
The press of this city. (Raleigh), Will
mington, and other places in the State, are
denouncng, in justly severe terms, the
spirit manifested by heartless, unprincipled
men, to demand famine prices for every
thing to eat. We are ashamed to hear that
dealers in this city have asked the brave
soldiers who have volunteered to fight for
them and their property the most enormous
prices. We heard the captain of one COM
pany say his men had been charged % cents
per pound for bacon, sirty cents per dozen
for eggs, 25 cents per pound for coffee and
sugar, 80 cents each for canteens, &c. Can
this be possible? Is there not some mis-
take about it We would fain hope so, for
the credit of our city and poor, sordid,
avaricious human nature. The names of
such persons ought to be exposed for men
who would thus speculate upon the soldiers
who enter the ranks to fight the battles of
their country, cannot be friends of their
country, as Judas did his Savior, for thirty
pieces of silver. We heard no names given,
and therefore these remarks are not person.
al, for we do not know who these Shylocks
are; but if we did, and were satisfied the
statements were true, we would not hest
tate to give their names. A man who de-
mands higher profits now than he was de-
handing before the war, deserves watching
Raleigh Spirit Of the Age.
Verify, it is too true tn. persons who
have provisions to sell are endeavoring to
exact extraord mary high prices. We saw
on Market street, this morning, a lot of ba-
con hams. On inquiring the price, the
owner replied, % cents per pound. We re-
marked that any person who would pay it
ought to be drummed out of town. We |
call again for some action relative to the
prices of provisions. Persons who have ar
ticles of food to sell should understand that |
exhorbitant rates will not be allowed.
