From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Captain Elzey,
Of the army, has resigned. 1t will be recol-
lected that lie commanded at the augusta
Georgia. Arsenal at the time of the surren-
der. On his arrival in this city he was or
dered to Fort Monroe, whittier he went. He
is a native of Maryland. The current rlmor
is, and seems to be true. that Col. May, of
tho same State, resigned yesterday.
Our ncighbor Alexandria is in commotion
to-day; the Confederate and State flags are
flying in every direction. and every prepara-
ton is being made for war. Recruiting is
progressing rapidly. Three persons, whose
feelings are antagonistic to the secession
movement. were required to leave the city.
Whatever truth there may be in the re-
port of the concentration OF troops about
twelve miles from Washington, or six from
Alexandria, it is certain that the Secessiouists
are earnestly at work; but there is no pub
lie knowledge Of their plans and purposes.
The Government have received a message
from the Governor of Tennessee in reguarl to
quota Of troops from the State. lie en-
phatcally.says he will not comply but would
rather furnish fifty thousand men against the
North.
Troops from the North were all day ex-
pccted to arrive here. Much soctude is ex-
pressed concerning them, but it is generally
believed that they will be successful in their
journey hither
A number of Washingtonians who earnest
ly sympathised with the Secessionists have
left the city for Virginia. One of the river
boats, the George Page, was employed by the
Virgnians last nightin a secret service; some
say for the transportation of troops aud mu-
nitions of war. Several prominent Secess-
io.ists from Virginia yesterday paid hur.
ried visit to Washington.
The Government here is Strengthening the
troops at the pubic buildings to night. The
Capital is surrounded with hastily thrown
up defcnccs, while workmen last night and
to-day have been barricading the Treasury
Department. In fact, precautionary move
ments are visible in every direction.

Ancient Superstition vs.. Modern
Science.

Six hundred years ago it was believed
that Scrofula could be cured by the
touch of a king, and that the fever of Il
wound was abated by salvlng the weapon
that caused it, These, and fifty other
similar absurdities, of which we read IN
tracing the progress of the healing art,
now only excite contemptuous smile /;
but, even in this enlightened era, preju-
dice and egotism sometimes struggle to
pcrpetuate error, and venture to question
the most palpabe and self evident truths.
Thus, when Holloway, after long
years of study and experiment, ushered
his all powerful remedies before the
world in their present perfected state,
their efficacy was denied by many jeal-
Gus practitioners. These men were the
slaves of Jormul1: persons who believed
that truth moved in a circle like blind
horse in a mill-track. They regarded
Holloway as an innovator: and so he was.
His innovations have astonished-nay,
more, they have convinced and delight
ed the world. 1he most formidable ul-
cerous and eruptive maladies, with
which science has heretofore waged an
unequal combat, are now subdued by the
penetrating Ointment for the cure of ex-
ternaI diseases and injuries, and his ia
IN Gus Pills are administered with mar
veilous success from many dangerous in
ternal disorders.
We have not arrived at this conclu-
sion hastily. 1t is the duty of the press
to investigate before it approves. Pub
lie option is, TO n certain extent, based
upon it's statements, and in all matters
which concern the health and life of man
it cannot be too cautious or too scrupu-
lous. But it is also the province of the
press to give the widest notoriety to i'm.
oortapt facts, and to render justice to
great public bcnefactors. The testimony
in favor of Professor Holloways RENE
dies emanates from all classes and from
every quarter of the globe. tits enthu-
siastic, voluminous, and consistent. To
deny it, would be to fly i'll the face of
the laws of evidence, and would cvince
stupidity, not caution.
If there is any thing in which the
judgement of human being may be
relied upon, it is the effect which rem
cdy produces upon him when sick. No
one oan be self-dcccivcd as to the relief
Of pain, the renewal of strength, the re-
covery of health and chcerfulness, and

TInGicating the Profession.

In New Orleans, few evenings since, John
F., Owens performed the part of rowing
young gentleman who had undergone many
mutations in life. The Delta gives the fol-
lowing episode of the performance:
In telling his story he commenced as a
newsboy, and by way of illustration, gave a
very good immitation of that useful, though

vulsed with laughter at sally which Mr..

The Importance Of Fort Mon
roe.

Gov. Wise declares in one of his war
speeches last week: - Virginia will have
that fort if it cost the lives of ten thou
sand of her sons to get It, But at the
same time Gov. w. admitted that the
States of Maryland, Pennsylvania and
New York are deeply interested in its
retention as national fort; because it is
master of the commerce of the Chesa-
peake and the Susquahannah river, the
latter rising near the lip of the lake
in New York, and sweeping through
that State, Pennsylvania and Maryland,
and bearing the products of all three
past the frowning front of Monroe. But
the site of the fort is in Virginia. and
the Old dominion was determined to take
it.

Fearful Riot In Baltimore.
Federal Soldiers Mobbed and
Killed.
VII.
Most Intense Excitement
Railroad Bridges Burnt.

A body of troops, from Penn. and Bos-
ton, large portion of whom were unarmed,
arrived in Baltimore on Friday and prepared
to proceed to Washington city. While pas
sing through Pratt street, they were assailed
by mob, who hurled stones, bricks and
everything else that they could obtain at them,
breaking the windows Of the cars and injuring
the soldiers, many Of whom had their heads
cut and down whose faces the blood flowed
freely. Not being able to arrest their pro-
gress in this way they laid distractions across
the street aud tore up the rails and thus ef-
fectually stopped the progress OF the cars but
not until nearly all the armed troops had pas
sed. The remainder being compelled to leave
the cars, the mob commenced throwing stones
and every accessible missile, and breaking in
to a hardware store they seized hatchets, &c,
and hurled them at the unoffending soldiery
until many Of them were seriously wounded
and some killed. Those who were armed
passed on led by the Mayor and Henry May,
and finding that it was impossible to proceed
further, some say Mayor Brown ordered the
soldiers to fire on the mob others that Mr..
May told them 10 take care OF tnerhse'Ves'
