Baltimore, May PA special dispatch from
Williamsport to the American says the Virginia
camp, opposite that place, was reinforced by
two cannons and two additional companies on
Sunday. Mysterious movements have been 60
ing on in camp for the past two days. A fer.
ryman was warned to permit nothing except
the mail to pass after eleven o'clock to-day.
The camp is guarded with great care. Neither
friend nor foe is permitted to visit it. Only
two companies have been on parade since FRI
day.
All this may be only mask to cover re.
treat to Falling Waters, or it may be preparing
to cross the river into Williamsport.
Our Home Guards keep perpetual watch,
and stand ready at any hour to dispute their
passage over the river. The camp is in q very
uusaie position, being in the toe of horse
shoe, where its provisions and all possibility Of
retreat might bo easily cut off. Manfestly this
is what Cole mel Allen fears.

"Thereis no reason why they shall not be
restored to the quarter deck Of the British
Admiral New York, or Washington itself,
in the face of some ten or twelve men OF

render the clustering Cabinet at Washington
as helpless as the Trent was before the guns

fault of ours, if it should come even to this"

A neperfer From the Nnahvilie---NeWs from
Charleston Before the Fire
Charles Sumpert who deserted from the
rebel steamer Nashville, at Bermuda, has ar
rived in New York, and brings a gloomy
picture of the condition of Charleston before
late terrible ~conAigratiOn. The Nashville
ran the blockade of that city in October. 1t
vas At first intended that she should car
" four guns, but finally decided to have only
two. These two had been received from
England BY some ship that ran the blockade
In Charleston provisions were enormously
high, and the greatest distress prevailed. The
poorer classes were about dying from want
when the Nashville left, there were about
three thousand troops there, and the greatest
fear existed lest the Union troops should
POM in upon them and capture the city.
Thsrs were very many who we're secretly
sound Uniouists, who would wait the advance
Of our army with thanksgiving.
The British and Swiss OOnsuls at Char
lesion were opposed to the North, the former
having remarked that the blockade would
soon be broken, when there would be work
enough in that city. The poorer class live
Epon bread made Of rice meal, and this is
scarce. Coffee was ssventy-6vs cents per
pound, and other articles in proportion.
Every person able to bear arms is made to
do 90, and the work upon the COST and har-
Dor defencss is kept up necessarily. Fort
Sumter Is strongly gsErisoned.
sumpert tells the following incident:
A Union private soldier was brought a
prisoner to that city and confined in Castle
Pickney, where access was stringently de-
nisd te him By any person whatsoever. The
prisoners sister happened to be q resident OF
Charleston, and married to q rabid secession
fst. Hearing that her brother was q pris
oneF, lhe earnestly sought and obtained pei
mission to see him, when a very shecting
scene took place. Her husband having gain
ed Q clue 70 the visit, followed his wife
thlihsr, snd, gaining access tc the room where
the interview was taking place, immediately
Gst upon his unfortunate spouse and nal
treated her most shsmeiully. The injuries
ahe received II was supposed, would prove
fatal; hut the tender husband escaped thai
Just punishment which was due 70 the horrid
offence.
Incidents Of 3 like nature were common
daily, and the villain element which is also
the peculiar characteristic Of large Southern
cities showed itself in most glazing cOlors
The ruHan blow and the ribald jest were th'
order Of the night and blOodshed, drunken
ness and disorder rsigned throughout the
city.
