BOLD AND DECIDED.--The povor.
is determined to assert its dignitv sut
only in its relations to the rebels y"
foreign powers. 1t is stated that ,bo -, y. "
lomatic corps have been notified tbet UP

federal authorities; but that such IN 'ne
will be seized, no matter under wb.t s'

1t is moreover intimated that tba 49,.

foreign governments that the Official :. "
ognition of southern commissioner -. !
European courts will be followed br ~
mediate cessation of diplomatic ipterconal au'
between the United States and such gor
ernments.
While it is doubtful whether apv sDoh
notice has been officially given, it is ~
questionably true that the government h..
intimated to the ''great powers" its nten
ton to permit no offensive interference :

ious states. While it does not as tn II.

a Reserve Force

The Harrisburg Telegraph contains the
following sensible hint: There is not
much doubt that the Government will be
compelled to issue another call for troops,
and even if it should not be compelled to
do SO, the policy of drilling a reserve force
must strike every man as judicious and
necessary. No man can tell the extent to
which our military operations may extend
The campaigns may be brief-they may
be long, laborious and devastating. In
either case, the drilling of a reserve force
will repay the time consumed in acquiring
a knowledge of tactics and evolutions.-
When another call is issued, there will be
no time to prepare. There can be no days
and weeks consumed in camp preparing
for duty The emergency then will re-
quire q prompt service by an immediate
presence in the field IN Pennsylvania
there are hundred thousand men who
can arrange their business in an hour to
leave their homes six mouths or year.
rolled-if they form themselves into
squads and companies, adopting the man
ual of the regular army as their drill
guide, in six months they could render
themselves proficient for almost any ac-
tive service Suppose that fifty thousand
men were selected from this hundred thous-
and, and those fifty thousand had render
ed themselves proficient by this drilling,
the force would indeed be invaluable and
indomitable. In this way the new levy
could be made almost Immediately avail
able, instead of being broken into the
harness after having been called out. BY
the adoption of this course the war would
be shortened by months, while the moral
influence Of such a demonstration would
tell potently upon the enemy.
The difficulties in the way of the or
ganization of a reserve force are not form
liable There is an abundance Of materi-
al out of which it may be manufactured.
There are tens of thousands of brave men
who are willing and anxious to do service.
Home Guards" have been formed in
many of our larger towns. Companies
and even regiments which failed to be ac-
cepted by the military authorities, will
gladly await the next summons of the
Government 1t only needs to have this
crude mass of military material organized
to make it at once an effective and impor-
tant arm of the Federal power.

THE New York Tribune gives the fol-
lowing hint to those contractors who are
wronginS the soldiers and the generous
people by rascality in the price aud quail
ty OF uniforms, blankets, rations, &c 1t
says:
They must be summarily dealt with,
and at the very beginning of the war, be-
fore their crime becomes chronic. Wei.
lington's remedy would be efTectual. In
the Peninsula War, some peculiar Com
missioners, who made money by furnishing
bad provisions to the army, were sent by

''THE RAGGED ARMY OF PENNSYLyA-
NIA."-Such, it seems, is the soubriquet
that our volunteers have gained in Wash
ington. These men who left their homes,
their families and their business, to fight
their country's battles, and protect it in
Its hour Of danger, have been rewarded by
equipment in such trashy clothes that
they are ashamed to show themselves,
while the splendidly equipped regiments
Of Massachusetts, New York and Rhode
Island are paraded, reviewed and admired
If, from mistaken economy, we had been
disposed to stint their supplies, we should
have had only ourselves to blame; but we
have spent money literally, and paid
enough to make them in every way com
fortable-with what effect every one
knows, and every day brings new confr-
nation of the statements at first received.
We learn from the testimony of friend
who visited the camp at York, that when
one of their coats was tried on by soldier
The back droppca oa! SO far, what we
have contributed has not been for the
benefit of the soldiers, but the sharks who
have influence at Harrisburg
We regret to say it, but we are forced
to the conclusion that our State is in bad
hands. Corruption is the order of the
day at the State Capital. The people OF
Pennsylvania demand that those who have
had a hand in the swindle shall be ferrcted
out and punished. No man who has q
relative or friend among the soldiers who
are now suffering by these frauds, should
rest until the perpetrators are brought tc
condign punishment PHi}adt Inquirer

iouS gaZers at the remains OF Col. Ellis
worth, the funeral cortege was delayed
from moving from the Executive Mansion
till near one o'clock this afternoon. All
along the line Of Pennsylvania Avenue,
the flags were displayed at half mast and
draped in mourning. Every available
point, including the windows, balconies
and housetops, was thronged by sorrowful
gazers. The various testimonials of respect
were paid to the remains. Bells were
tolled and the heads Of the companies of
the city military, followed by the New
York Seventy First Regiment, company
of marines and cavalry corps, formed the
military escort. With arms reversed aud
colors shrouded, succeeding the hearse,
followed a detachment of Zouaves, one Of
when, Browncll, the avengcr OF Col. Els
worth, carried the identical secession flag
torn down by the deceased. Then follow
cd the President, accompanied by Secre-
taries Seward and Smith.
IN NEW YORK
NEW York, May 26.-The remains of
Col Ellsworth arrived here early this
morning, and were received by Il deputa-
ton OF the Fund Committee and two
members from each company of the fire
department. The remains were escorted
to the Astor House, and placed in charge
of the family of the deceased. Private
funeral services were observed there this
afternoon, after which the body lay in
state for two hours in the Governors room
in the City Hall. The remains were then
escorted to the steamer Francis Skiddy on
which they left for Troy, by a procession,
both large and impressive.
The l1th, 55th, 1st and Sd regiments,
the two latter being dismounted cavalry,
formed the escort, while the fremen
turned out in great numbers. The streets
through which the funeral procession
marched were lined with people, who, by
uncovered heads and other demonstrations
of respect, paid heartfelt tribute to the
deceased. In the midst of the procession
was the banner Uf the New York Fire
Department, shrouded in mourning. The
flags over the city are at halt mast, and
many are draped in black.
JACKSON, THE ASSASSIN.
The New York I1-iJune's Washington
| correspondent says:
jackson, who shot Col. Ellsworth. Is
the same man who headed the gang who
attacked the Repuolcan liberty pole at
Occaquon, Fairfax county, before the
Presidential contest. Tie cut down the
pole with his own hand. The loyal citi-
zens regard Col. Ellsworth S death as mur-
der, and thus signify their opinion
jackson was begged last night to make
no resistance, but swore he would die in
defence of his flag He was a very i'm
| pulsivc man. 1t is known that few weeks
ago he protected Union men against a
| Secession mob, with the same double bar
relied gun with which he shot Col. Ellis
worth, swearing that the freedom of speech
must be maintained. His body is in the
second story of the hotel, in coffin, wear
ing the Secession uniform, with the coat
! buttons ornamented with the Virginia
| coat-of.arms.

To CARRY THEIR OWN MAIL BAGS
The rebel government has given notice
that it will dispense with the services of
Uncle Sam as mail carrier ON the first of
June Having avaied itself Of such SER
vices without observing the tedious for
malities of squaring up accounts with the
department, it now serves Il notice of dis
charge upon its old employee, with the po-
lite intmation that he is officially incom-
tent and his character bad The custom
has generally prevailed, we believe, of
pGyjhg hired labor before sending it adrift
1t is reserved for tis confederate patri-
OTIS to invent a new method of discharging
obligations, and a new way of disposing of
superfiuous help. Here is the receipt
Keep him on low rations, refuse to pay
him his wages, pick his pocket if you can
get chance, steal his wardrobe, give him
a bad name among his neighbors, and fl
nally turn him out of doors on the ground
that he is not respectable. This system
cleverly managed and actively followed
up, will be found eminently profitable.
lnasmuch as the government has been
running the mails in the south at dead
loss of million of dollars annually, it
will puzzle the reader to know what our
ore-eating neighbors are to gain by going
into the ietter-carrying business on their
own account
