Of sixty Thousand men from the Eastern
States are nov OF their way for the West

A Corps Of Engineers has been organized

cago Tribune says
While they can, when necessary, be em-
ployed as regular engineers in the oonstruc.
ton Of forti6catioEs and bridges, laying out
roads, and all other occupations Of regular
Typographical engineers, it is more particu-
larly iuten5ej that this body Of men shall
prececa the army when on its march, and
survey and map ont the country Tor it, to
watch the enemy, aud BY means ef the tels-
graph, the DFummond light and a system Of
signals which has been adopted, 70 give in
formation Of their movements aad wherea-
bouts 10 this end, they are supplied With
all the apparatus necessary, telegraphiRg,

An observatory has been constructed of light
lath-work, which can be taken apart, packed
in army wagons, or transported in any other

ARevoIutionury soldier Outraged

A North Carolina correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune writes:
When the news came that Fort Hatteras
was taken by the United States, serious
turn was given to the popular mind, and
some were in favor of having the State, by
its Legislature, resolve itself back into the
Union. HeFeupon sides were taken and
blows were struck. The secessionists had all
the arms and they of course had the upper
hand, One man declared "He was Union
man. and not ashamed to confess it." At this
expression be was taken into a shop, his nose
put into a vice, and screwed nearly out OF
his head; and the lips which uttered the SEN
timent were treated in the same way, and
both nearly pulled oct OF his face. A lady
just from Washington, N. g., tells me that
about the same time a company of men were
assembled in q store and eXtOlling the seces-
sion flag, when an old Revolutionary soldier
(the only one known TO be living in North
Cardinal interfered, and asked the secession
lists if they knew how much the old Stars
and Stripes cost he said be did, for be
fought under them, and saw them when FRS
raised, and that be would never Recognize
another. At this he was taken, his head hall
shaved, G plaster put on, and the plaster COW
cred with tar, and the tar with feathers aut
/ then he hurled into the street, Who Woult
! think that a soldier of Washington woulC
ever be subjected to such treatment in thl
land where Washington himself was one
almost worshipped as if he were a god?-
How long will Americans allow such thing
/ to be7
These are but samples Of series Of bar
barous acts, which to mention separated
would fll a dozen pages, and only max
ones blood curdle in his veins to think {
them.

Wha1 Proro-t lInrshnI.

The Washington correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Press thus explains what Provost
Marshal is:
What is your idea Of a Provost Marshal
Nine has always been something terrible. A
Minotaur in the labyrinths of treason to de-
your unsuspeeting Sscessionists; an Argus,
whose hundred eyes no Tyre can lull to Sleep
or, If you Ike If better, a Brisreus, for we are
told that, when treason menaced the throne
Of Jupiter, the hundred-handed giant ascend
ed the heavens, and so terrified the csnspir-
ators By his fierce and threatening looks that
they desisted. You never see Provost Mar
shsl; you never hear him, but his eyes are
everywhere.
Treason has been whispered IL the morn
ing, and the traitor Is in Fort Lsfay cite be-
fore night on his warrant He has not a
particle Of gallanTy, either, for when certain
Tery agreeable ladies Of this town met over
the tea-table 70 continue their correspondence
with their friends and adorers in Richmond,
the Provost Marshal quietly took possession
of their letters and placed guard over their
dwellings. BE haun;s treason ike a shadow,
and has the ssrangest way Of going down to
the bottom of peoples trunks, Of opening
people's bureau drawers, of discovering false
doors in CARRIAGES, OF dragging to the light
queer documents, and maps, and private
communications intended for the ediicatiOn
of J. Davis & Co.
Here, in Washington, you cannot escape
him. BE puts out the fires, arrests disorder
" citizens, and gets into the private entrance
Of dram shops and gambling saloons. he
has spoiled many 6 good drink, and broken
up many game of faro and monte. He ii
the natural foe of suffers, and has q singular
fashion Of going down to the bottom Of wag
ons and exploring suspicious barrels. A day
or two since I saw Wagon-load of bread 60
ing across the Long Bridge. Bread is an in
nocent article, but presently a corpora
mounted behind, aud sent his bayonet bur
rowing among the loaves. A moment more
and he loaEes were gently heaped on onl
side and a dozen kegs of beer were rolled init
quarters. By order OF the Provost Marshall
Every body knows that our Provost Mar
sbal Is Brigadier General Andrew Porter
Everybody here calls him "Andy' and 8
wonld L but be is a military man, and don
want to be too familiar. IdOn'tsee how the.
ever made him Provost Marshal, or rathe
the representative Of so much awe, power
and cunning He was one Of those kind
genial, honest faces which you make up i
Lancaster county and is just such man a
you would gladly accept as an escort home
you met him On q dark night.
BE is not a bit classical-nor would 20
mistake him for either an Argus or Minc
taar, or anything heathenish or fabulous
but a gallant good fellow, who loves b
country, hates traitors, and is the nstur
foe of coWardice and tresehery. New
sinking duty, never walking away fro
danger, with tina conscience OF this hgl
deep in his soul, a type and representative
your genuine Pennsylvania gentlemen-th
Is Andrew Porter. And out Of this ms
they have made Provost Marshal

Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-02-16

The political pot is still boiling. The la
test news from Washington brings the intel
ligence that Buchanan has abdicated in favor
of Lieut. General Winfield Scott, who is to
be pronounced MILITARY DICTATOR
San Antonio Herald.
This was put forth IN New orleans ietter
to the San Antonio (Texas) Herald just be
fore the late Texas election. OF course the
writer knew that there was no truth in it; his
whole purpose was to exasperate or alarm
the Texas population and thus precipitate
TEEN into vote for secession. The same
villainous game was strongly played in all
States where the secession question has been
indirectly voted on. In every one of them
lying dispatches of the most stIrtling char
acter were circulated on the eve of the cleo
ton to infame the people and control the
vote.-Lou. Jour.
Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-02-16

The Montgomery congress is anxious that
the border states should follow the gulf states
out of the Union. 1t solicits their concur
renee in suicidal fate with threat and a
bride. 1t brides them with clause in the
constitution forbidding the African slave
trade, and threatens them with provision
for prohibiting the introduction of slaves from
any state not a member of the confederacy.
In the bride, the border states are offered
nothing which they do not now possess. and
while it stands, the gulf states cannot afford
to execute the threat. But threat and bride
will prove alike Intellectual and impotent.
The six seeded states have conferred less
honor upon the Union than the Union upon
them. In the eyes of the world, to history Is
calm gaze, their relation to the federal Union
has been, and will be deemed their chiefest
ornament. Like the fox in the fable. their
first act, after depriving themselves of it, is
to invite their fellows to similar excision.
1t is not related that any other foxes were SO
silly.-Ihe World.
