FURTHER FROM WASHINGTON.
ryr. p,y,s MARCHING " WASHINGTON

UAnuisBURG Pa, Wednesday, April u, ls6l.
Dr. PuI,ston Of this State arrived here this forenoon
with DISPATCHES from the War Department 10 Gov.
Curtin and Gen. Patterson. lie len Washington on
tts regular afternoon train TOT Baltimore, arriving
there without obstruction. Upon alghtngat the depot
in Baltimore, he was accosted by officer Of come
.ort, who nqurcd what bis WAS, where he was
from, aud whence he going.
He savs he answered them all correctly, and was al
lowed ora.s without any attempt being made to search
him for DISPATCHES He brought large number Of let
tors from private individuals to their friends Us the
mails and telegraphic communication have been cut ot
ever since last Friday.
Dr. Puleson say be was very courteousy treated in
Baltimore; that he went 10 hotel, parook Of lunch
and then chartered n team TO convey him to York, Pa
en- route 20 this place, which cost him sixty doElrs
He was stopped once in passing through Maryland
but upon reaching the PEN sylyania line he was ume
dately stopped and continually made to give an
account Of himself until bic arrival ct York where ne
took a special train TO this city.
l. i believed that tie courteous treatment which Dr.
p received In Baltimore has something 10 do with tie
ARRANGEMENT agreed 10 between the President and
Mayor Brown, that Baltimore should be open TO tray
eers II the troops would not attempt to go through, tie
President agreeing moi 10 order troops through the city
if they were not molestsd in passing round II.
The Pennsylvania troops were Withdrawn from the
vicinity Of baltimore by the special order OF the
President against the advice Of Secretary Cameron
and General Scott. But for such order they would
wouid have been promptly reinforced on Monday last
with hone companies and Shcrmans battery and pro-
yisions and by this time should have been in Wash
ington, by way Of the Relay house.
DIR. PulesOn SAVE he learned in Baltimore that live
thousand troops had arrived there from Harper Ferry,
but he saw of the troops any evidence OF their
being in Baltimore.
1t is assorted by loyal Mary ande who arrived here
Yesterday that they never had five thousand troops at
Harpcrs Ferry, and the whole story about the forces
there have probably been false.
The most painful anxiety prevailed at Washington
yesterday. Tie whole country round Washington had
been secured for provisions and considerable guam
tity had been collected. The Secretary of War said
yesterday that there were few over 5000 troops in
Washington Oh the roll, regulars and all About 100
OF these compose the militia of tho District whose sym
pahes are with Virginia and Mary land, although they
have taken the oath defend the District under all err
umstances, III d against whatever foe.
The Pennsylvania troops in Wellington are wore
than useless from the fact that they have arms and
have to be fed. They went TO Washington by orders
from the War Department, without arms, being IN
formed that they would be supplied on their arrival
there. For some reason, the did notreach Wash
ingon. That Is not the fault Of the troops, however,
who are anxions 10 see service.
The people in Washington, not being able TO hear
anything by letters papers or telegraph have been ie
to conjecture why they were not reinforced.
The 9Th Regiment of New-York City, with four
other regiments, have succeeded in making landing
OF Annapolis and have probably succeeded in reaching
the Federal Capital A dispatch to that effect was
received here this morning by Gov. Curtin.
Col. Sherman, with his battery, reached ElAon this
morning.
DIR. PulesOn says when he passed the Annapolis June
ton yesterday he could hear nothing OF the
Northern troops. lie says that the Secretary Of War
informed him, just before he left, that in consequence
Of characterization board Of the Merrmae 1t was i'm
possible TO get her to sea- was reported to he the
TACT Yesterday. and that she was consequently b1rued
a Norfolk wi,h O,icr vessels.
