DEATH OF Coz. ELLSWORTH. This noble SOL
dier has fallen by assassination. The news of
his death has caused profound sensation ev-
erywhere. He had driven the traitors from
Alexandria, and just hauled down their flag,
when he was shot through the heart by a man
named Jackson, the proprietor Of the Marshal
House. jackson was seized and killed on the
spot. Thus, the death of Col. Ellsworth was
promptly avenged, so far as the immediate a.
gent was concerned but if treason intends to
fight its battles by assassination, terrible ret
ribution will come upon many of its followers
In the death of Col. f. the loyal portion of the
country has sustained great loss /; but it may
prove dire calamity to the rebel section oi
Onr land, and to the leaders and authors OF
this murderous spirit.

AN IMPORTANT MovE.-One day last week
a simultaneous descent was made by order OF
telegraph offices in the North; and the des-
patches, which had accumulated for several
years, seized and taken to Washington. 1t is
thought, that these dispatches will furnish
the government with much important infor-
nation, relating to the movements of the
Southern rebels. 1t is also understood, that
many persons will he implicated, who have
heretofore been considered as averse to the
movements of the rebels; and that several ar
rests will soon be made. Time alone will
show, whether these conjec lures are well
founded or not.

FLAG RAISING IN wAsHIseros.-At noon,

FLAG RAISING IN WAsHINGToN.-At noon,
on Wednesday the 22d, an Immense concourse
of enthusiastic persons witnessed the ceremon-
les attendant ON the raising OF the american
flag over the General Post Office building.
The President and his Cabinet were seated on
a platform especially erected for their accom-
mediation, together with several other distin-
guished gentlemen.
General Skinner on behalf of the officers
and clerks of the Department opened the pro-
ceedings by addressing the President. saying
among other things that they, in The manifes-
tation of their devotion to the country, the
Constitution and the preservation of the u
nion, had determined to raise on the building
the glorious stars and stripes under which our
forefathers had fought, and under which flag
they achieved our independence, and under
which it was~now hoped freedom would be
perpetuated in all coming time. The clerks,
he said were proud of this opportunity of tes-
tifying to the President their fidelity and de-
votion to the Union, which they were deter
mined to maintain to the end. They would
deem it the highest honor consistent with the
occasion if he would condescend to raise the
flag to the mast from which it is to float.
The President having advanced TO the front
of the platform, was enthusiastically greeted
from the crowd below. The President said
he was very happy On all occasions to be the
humble instrument of forwarding the very
worthy objects which bad been expressed he
therefore took pleasure in performing the part
assigned to him, and supposing that any ex-
tended remarks were not expected from him
he would proceed at once to act his part.
He then hoisted the flag by hand over
hand movement, amid deafening cheers, ac-
companied by the waving of hats, and of han
kerchies from the ladies, the bands playing in
the meantime the national anthem 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" The flag having been at
tached to the staff the three cheers and repeat
were given, the occupants of the neighboring
trees, house tops and windows participating
in the general demonstration of joy.
The President again appeared on the front
platform, saying it had occurred to him that
a few words would be appropriate to this oc-
casion: ssSeveral weeks ago the stars and
stripes hung lankly about their staffs all over
the Union. So it was to-day, when this flag
was first raised; but this glorious breeze has
unfurled it, and it now floats as it should.
He hoped the same breeze was now spreading
out our glorious flag all over the nation"
The expression met with general aud en-
thusiastic response from the delighted mnlti-
tude. Postmaster General Blair on behalf of
the officers and clerks of the department,
thanked the assemblage for their presence.

MIssoURI.-Maj. General Price, comman-
der-in- chief of the Missouri militia, arrived at
ST. Louis on the evening of the Goth, and the
following morning had an interview with Cen
eral Harney, when plan was agreed upon for
the maintenance of peace, and the avoidance
of future conflicts between the Federal and
State Governments. They mutually declare
common object, that of restoring peace and
order under laws of the Generaliand State Gov
ernments, and to the people and the State, in
subordination to unite in recommending all
persons to respect each others rights through
out the State, and to make no attempt to ex-
ercise unauthorized powers, as it is the deter
mination of the proper authorities to suppress
all unlawful proceedings, which can only
disturb the public peace. General Price
pledges the whole power of the State and its
officers to maintain order among the people of
the State, and General Harvey declares that,
this object being assured, he can have no oc-
casion, as he has wish, to make military
movements which might otherwise create ex-
citement and jealousies, which he most earn
estly desires to avoid. They therefore enioin
upon the people to attend to their civil busi-
ness, and express the hope that the unjust ele-
ments which have threatened so seriously to
disturb the public peace may soon subside, and
be remembered only to be deplo-ed.

THE Position OF ENGLAND.-One indication
of the ignorance of England respecting the
present state of our affairs, is shown in the
fact that dispatches to Lord Lyons by the last
steamer, were brought by courier extraor-
dinary. Lord Lyons dispatches by the pre-
vious steamer were not received, in conse-
quence of the stoppage of the mails. The
British Ministry apparently thought there was
danger that Washington might have been ta-
ken, or a hostile force thrown between it and
New York by this time. From such a state
of belief, Lord John Russel's parliamentary
remarks probably grew.

THE CRoPs.-Accounts have been received
from nearly all parts of the Northern and
Western States, in regard TO the growing
crops; which are said to be in fine condition,
and that the prospect for an abundant harvest
was never more hattering. The fruit, howev-
or, has been much damaged by the late frosts,
in many localities; yet, it is thought, that the
apple crop will be at least an average one; but
that peaches will be scarce, as many of the
trees have been killed during the past winter.

TIE SOUTHERN SrArEs.-We see it stated
that the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Caleb
B. Smith, has refused payment to all persons
in the Seeded States who claim compensa-
tion for taking the census; and that he has
determined to withhold from all persons in
those States the benefits OF the pension and
patent laws. Those States have also deprived
themselves of all benefits arising from the
canal system, and the advantages resulting
from the coast surveys,-and, as per late ad-
vices from Washington, they are now left with
out the mail facilities of the Federal Govern
ment. These things may have the effect of
creating discomfort among the honest masses
of the South; and if 80, the leaders may be
compelled to fee the country, not from any
tear of Federal troops, but from the indigna-
tion of deceived and injured people in their
own section.

A SwINDLE.-A pleasant swindle has Just
been discovered. Government owns acres of
land behind the City Hall, on which is erected
hospital. Having no present use for it,
Congress allowed the City Corporation the use,
reserving right to forty berths, for $4,000
yearly. The new Administration wished to
use the infrmary, and knew nothing of the
previous arrangement. 1t hired, for 81 900
per month, its own property. The Medical
Faculty, in making this lease secession, shows
how generally the capital is infected. Gov
ernment wont pay henceforward, but may find
trouble in recovering. The Faculty acknowl-
edge the facts, but says Congress only are en-
powered to act.

THE STRENGTH OF THE FREE STATEs.-One
of the great elements of strength in the north
ern, or rather the free states, is composed of
mechanics. In no other country in the world
does this element exist in like degree of use
fulness, influence and power-and in no other
country does it WELD the same weightv control
in governmental affairs. The American me-
chanic, when taking advantage OF his position
and the means before him for deriving infor-
nation, is not mere workman in wood or
| iron-or machine driven by the impulses and
genius of others. He represents science and
art, by the improvements he makes in both
and by his developments in mechanical skill,
increases the productive energy OF every
branch of industry. The young mechanic of
to-day is the embodiment of the grandeur OF
the age-because the most glorious achieve
| ments of Cur times are those which are made
| in the field of practical science, as mechanics
are all that is practical. The locomotive and
| the magnetic telegrapb-the implements of
| war-the spinning -jenny-gutta percha-all
combined, constitute the glory, the wealth and
the comfort of the age-and each in their turn
are the representative, with the aid of the liv-
ing mechanic, of fame that will survive long
| after common men and their memories have
| become extinct. In the battles and struggles
| before us-In the changes which must follow
| the march of our armies from home, and those
| which will greet them as they advance, none
will be so great as chose which will flow from
| the accessons of new and young men to the
work shops of the free states, to take the pla-
ces OF those who have LETT, while those made
on the face of the country, and welded over
the future OF people who are ignorant of all
mechanical power. by an intercourse with the
mechanic, in an army Of occupation, time will
| show in more benefits and splendor than we
| can now describe. A free intercourse with
| free mechanics, is the only influence that will
redeem the south. 1t is the influence that has
made the west what it is, developing its power,
| improving its soil, navigating its rivers, erec-
| ting its towns and cities aud in every way by
practical uses and earnest industry, accom-
plishing the great results which have since
added so many empires, in the shape of COM
monwealths, to the Union of States.

BY SAMUEL J. ROW


The PENNSYLVANIA TRooPs.-It appears
that much dissatisfaction exists at the miser-
able way in which the Pennsylvania troops
have been supplied with clothing and food un-
der our State authorities. The blankets and
clothing, according to accounts, have many
of them been cheap, fimsy, rotten stuff al
most ready to fall TO pieces. The shoes have,
in some cases, been pasted together or the
soles filled with pine shavings. In truth, it is
said that the Pennsylvania troops are the most
miserably clad, of all volunteers called into
the service and, after all, the State has to
pay more for it, than the cost of uniform
clothing Of the first quality. Making full al
lowance for exagerations, we are still con-
vinced that there has been some mismanage-
ment and fraud somewhere. 1t is burning
disgrace to our State, and especially to the
State officers who have the control of this
thirg, that it is so. Some corrupt men have
been cheating the State and robbing our pa
triotic soldiers. Every man who has had any
hand in this business, be he high or low, should
be instantly dismissed; and if the law can
reach him, he should be brought to speedy
Justice. The late national administration of
Buchanan was justly blamed and condemned
for its extravaganza and corruption. We do
not want the same system of things to be in
augurated under Republican State admins
tration. If any Republican is ever detected
In such schemes, he should be ordered to
leave the service in double quick time. None
but men of systematic business habits and un-
bounded integrity, should be intrusted with
the duty of contracting for supplies. Such
corrupt practices will not be tolerated by the
people, nor should it be by our State officers.
