tious torrent. The Fourth Of July is to
be the greatest gathering-the no5lest
anniversary of all. At least there will be
but one greater, and that is when all the
children come home again. Some per
sons talk of saving the usual appropriations
for its observance. 1t would be the worst
possible economy. Money is not all that
we need We need every encouragement
to the patriotic spirit. Not that we fear
it will die. But it must be large, cheer
ful, efficient It must have sympathy
1t must call up the memories OF past glo-
ries. 1t must be reminded continually OF
the price of liberty. Itmust be energized
by prophecy. The minstrel and the seer
must stand forth, with historic memories
and divine pre-jntinations. Let the en-
suing anniversary, theu, be celebrated SO
that old JOHN ADAMS may look forth
from his resting place to see what his
children are doing. Let the earth ring
with the acciamations Of freemen, armed
once more, and let us hope for the last
fight with the foes of the Constitutional
freedom. Let the altars Of Liberty be
renovated and decked with votive gar
lands Let the aged survivors of our ear
ier wars be cheered by the outpourings OF
spirit fit to assure them that their trusts
will not be committed to feeble or unworthy
hands. And above all, let a deyout rec
ognition of the great Leader of Armies
and an intelligent trust in GoD purify and
confirm every patriotic impulse.

EXCITING NEWS FROM BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, July I.-Since two o'clock

parts of the city, and are now posted in
Monument square, Exchange Place, the
Eighth ward, Broadway and other points.

A multitude of rumors are aAoat as to
the cause OF this sudden movement, but
nothing definite is yet known 1t is said
that a plot has been discovered OF an IN
tended outbreak.
Gen. Banks has issued a proclamation,
in which he says that he has arrested the
members of the Board Of Police in pursu-
ance of orders from the Headquarters OF
the Army at Washington, for the preser-
vation Of the public peace; that ne had
placed temporarily a portion OF bis force
in the city; that he disclaimed all desire
or intention to interfere with the munich
pal affairs Of the city, and THAI as soon as
| a loyal citizen can be named who will ex-
ecute It's police laws with impartiality and
good faith to the Government OF the Uni
ted States, the military force will be
withdrawn from the central parts OF the
municipality at once.

PoLITICAL.-Gou' writing from Wash

POLITICAL.-Iou' writing from Wash
ington to the Baltimore Sun, says:
The Presidents message to the coming
Congress is said to be completed in regard
to its essential points. Rumors agree that
it recommends and promises a vigorous
prosecution of the objects of the war; that
for this purpose it calls for two hundred
and fifty thousand soldiers In addition to
the force heretofore and now authorized
and that it proposes to borrow a sufficient
sum to meet the estimated expenses of the
war for the next fiscal year, in addition to
the ordinary expenses of the government
provided for at the late session.
It was supposed, some weeks ago, that
the message would contain some concilia-
tory suggestions, and afford some hope or
chance for an early and pacific solution of
our domestic difficulties, but it is now said
that this is not So
The hostile attitude of Virginia toward
the United States government, and also
toward the Union men of Virginia, is said
to have initiated against any suggestions
of peace from this quarter. 1t is believed
by the administration, as / learn, that the
Virginia Convention, at Richmond, have,
in secret session, passed an ordinance out
having every citizen who shall take a seat
in the federal Congress, or any commission
in the military, naval or civil service of
the United States. The same ordinance
provides also for the confiscation Of the
estates of citizens thus outlawed. Western
Virginia viii be represented both in the
Senate and House. 1t is supposed that
Senator Powell, of KY, may resume his
seat in the Senate, but that Mr. Breckin-
ridge viii net. Neither of the Missouri
Senators viii attend Congress at the COM
ing session. Senator johnson, Of Tenn,
and three of the Representatives of that
State will be in attendance
Even the newspaper press is puzzled to
account for the fact that the federal troops
under General Patterson did not enter
Harper's Ferry after General johnson
evacuated it. The reason is now explained
to be a suspicion that the place is mined.
For the same reason it is said that Colonel
Stone is not going to that place.

EOre PtcHeHS.

A correspondent of the New York p,tb-
uue. writing from Fort Pickens under date
of June IA, gives the following /descrip-
ton of that interesting point. If it is
correct-and there is no doubt but 1t is
Pickers is a gay and happy spot, and no
mistake. Read:
There is no doubt about it-Fort Pick
ems is dreary place. 1t has all the ele-
ments of discomfort, and net solitary
attraction. The island on which it is To-
Gated is all sand every bit Of it. Not a
grain of corn or blade of grass will grow
on it-nothing vegetable, not even thistle
Not an animal could live on the native
productions Of the soil, excepting perhaps
the hog, which they say eats rattlesnakes.
Die down into the earth as deep as you
please and you get sand Let the wind
blow, and your eyes and ears, your nos
trils, and the vacuities Of your teeth, are
filed with sand Take an evening prom
enade on the ramparts, or walk ten rods
on the beach, and your boots and your
stockings, even unto your toe-nails, are
all filed with sand. You cannot escape
from this into the water for ten-minutes'
sea-bath without running the risk of being
devoured by sharks. If it is calm, the air
is impregnated with fever and alive with
ticks To escape the burning hot sun, so
into the damp casemates and acquire
Rheumatism. Whether it rains or shines,
you have flies by day and musketoes By
night-feas all the time. There is only
one species OF the antmdIc1tle UiR9IctiUe
which does not prevail here, namely, bed
bugs and this IS d deficiency which can
easily be provided for.
The heat is intense and almost intolera-
! BILE. 1t scorches the few tufts OF grass
that aspire TO grow on the desert soil, and
bakes the moistened sand as solid as a
brick. 1t is steady and persistent. 1t
continues all day long, and all night, and
thereby gains accumulative force, and adds
to its next days intensity. IF you put a
musketo-bar over you, you roast-if you
| don't do it, you pestered by flies, bitten by
musketoes, become nervous, and irritable,
and swear like a agc-driver-unless you
are pious. 1t is my opinion that you swear
anyhow.
| Beside all this the water is bad. No,
body can wash in 1t without adding the
fragrance of eals-de-co5ogne, or drink it
without first Disgusting Its favor with
otto of whiskey It's taste is indescribable,
| But its smell is that Of sui phur and hy-
drogen, chemically mixed. We have the
consolation of knowing that it is daily get
ting worse. The reason is, the air is shut
out Of the cisterns by impenetrable face
| covers, which were necessary to protect
them from the enemy's fire, and give Sc
| curity to the casemates.

THE THREE MONTHS MEN-Letters
from the Pennsylvania volunteers, near
the Maryland line, and those in Baltimore
enlisted for three months, say that very
few OF these men will be disposed to re-
main when their term expires, because OF
the manner in which they have been treat
ed. The clothing of many of them is
worn out, and their food is not as good as
they expected, or Us might easily be fur
nished. If these matters were remedied
in time, the writer's think the soldiers
would yet resolve to remain, and certainly
1t would be to the advantage of the Cows
ernment to have them do so, now that
they have become familiar with arms, and
arc properly disciplined

what GOV. Curtin Is EpOtDg.

In late letter to Judge Smyser, Gov.
Curtin says:
"We have clothed almost entirely %
regiments; much of the clothing Is very
good, some of it of Indifferent quality, and
that of the two Regiments referred to ut
terly unfit for use. This clothing is nei-
thcr of the standard nor quality OF the
samples. Imposition and fraud have been
practiced somewhere, and as soon as can
get little relief from the pressure now
upon me, | will turn the industry and en-
ergy which, whether for good or evil, for
more than month | have given to the
service of my country, to the detection and
punis ishment OF the guilty, whether it may
fall on officials, agents or contractors"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Post in speaking of his visit to
Harrisburg, says:
II arrived at Harrisburg on Friday
morning, and on Saturday called on the
Governor, whom [ found closeted with
Attorney General Meredith. The Gov
ernor was very courteous, and L understand
that he intends to use every effort to have
our volunteers clothed and equipped prop
erly. and he intends also to have the
parties exposed and brought to justice
who have SO numerically robbed our
brave volunteers, and swindled our glori-
Gus old Commonwealth. The appointment
of Meredith gives universal satisfaction, l
understand, all over the State, and the
change is thought to be a very happy one
both for the Governor and the interest of
the State That the Governor intends to
do his duty honestly and impartially, [
have no doubt, and I understand that
Bucky Neal, Martin, A. K. MIC, and
gentlemen Of the same cloth will have to
seek some other interest than that Of The
State to take care Of, as the Governor in
tends to spare neither friend nor foe, who
has been guilty OF fraudulent acts in regard
to equipping our volunteers"

GOvERNMENT RESOURCES FOR THE
WAR.-The Secretary of War has informed
the President that there are now 225 900
men enrolled in the service of the United
States.
Commodore Vanderbilt has offered all
the steamships Of the Atlantic and Pacific
Steamship Company to the Government,
including the Vanderbilt, Ocean Queen,
Ariel, Champion and Daniel Webster, to
be paid for at such rates as any two com
modores Of the United States Navy and
ex-commodore Stockton may decide upon
as Il proper valuation. IF the Government
is not willing to purchase the Vanderbilt
on these terms, the Commodore expresses
his readiness to hand her over to the
country as a gift.
There are now in Washington and i'm
mediate vicinity at least sixty thousand
troops. 1t is believed that Gen Scott will
increase this number to seventy thousand
men before making any offensive move
ments.
The ten additional Massachusetts, regi-
ments which have been called for bv the
President, will be in Virginia in less than
forty days, armed and equipped with ev-
erything necessary for campaign. Each
regiment will have twenty five wagons. IN
stead of fifteen, the usual number, and
those wagons are now made at the rate of
one hundred week.

A Discussed BULLY.-An English
gentleman who has just returned from
the South relates that he was detained at
Richmond, and thought it eXpedient to
apply for u passport to get beyond the
bounds over which the rebels claim SOW
ereignty OF course he made his appli-
cation to the person who bears the title of
Mr. Davis's Secretary Of State-none other
than ex-United States Senator Robert
Toombs.
Poor Toombs, who is a mere puppet in
his masters hands, and who evidently
dares not sign even the most trifilng doe
ument without Davis's permission, made
reply: 81 don't care whether you go to
Heaye en- or to hell can not give you a
pass go to those military men ~
Poor Toombs He was among the
foremost of the traitors in Congress- 1t
was his part to do the bullying there and
he did it so well that he established a
kind of claim on Davis. But the rebels
have small use for any but fighting bull
lies and as that IS not Toombs' complex
ion-who is bilious but not sanguine-he
has received the empty honor Of the See
rctaryship Of State.
Poor Toombs He was not up to the
times. Even Floyd was sharper than he
though that was to be expected, thief
being generally shrewder than mere bra
zen bully. Floyd awaited his opportunity,
and is now BrigadierG eneral, and adver-
tises urgently for another supply of guns,
which he promises to return-as though
anybody who knows his career would
believe him capable of returning any
thing which he once lays his hands
on.
If Toombs dared to speak, any more
than he dares to sign passport, we should
hear a mournful story of illusions dispelled
of bully used and then ali but cast off,
of a political gambler who has been
cheated with his own loaded Gicc.-ECc,,-
