AdjuIant General.
By order Of the Commauder-in-C Chief.

The Baltimore American of Thursday,
gives this sorry account of the rebel troops al
Harper's Ferry:
I'VE learn from reliable and intelligent
source the exact position Of affairs at Harper's
Ferry. There are about three thousand Vir-
ginia troops there: of these six hundred are
unarned aud six hundred Supplied only with
common flint lock muskets. Four companies
Of cavalry, finely mounted and we'll drilled,
compose portion Of the force. The Com
mssary Department is badly attended to-
The troops are poorly and irregulariy leL, and
much diseOntent existed. Provisions are xeHy
scarce, and many of The townspeope who had
been thrown out of work were suffering severe
ly. The general feel ng among all except the
troops was OF complaint over the evils and
hardships that secession had. brought upon
their hitherto peaceful and prosperous com
munity, and de-poa1ent hope that Virginia
might still determine to remain in the Union.
Most of the machinery had been removed
from the COVER menb works, but some work
was still going Un in the rifle factory.
a good. de;'l Of doubt aud various rumors
prevail In relation to the probable movements
Of the troops by some ii was thought that
they wonsd' lake possession of the Maryland
side Of the Ferry and lority the heights as
The on!y means, Of maintaining their position
If u!tAck,d. whilst others believed that after
the mmoval If all the machinery they would
be entirely Withdrawn. Our informant also
states that Virginia only recovered six hum
dTed arms from the ruins of the arsenal, and
that this statement seems to be confirmed by
the fact that portion of the force assembled
there was still unarmed.

SrorP1xG TEE SrrrtiEs.-1'he instructions
of the Secretary OF the Treasury 10 the Wes-
tern Custom House officers are, TO stop all
munitions of war. provisions and other sup
plies. going TO insurgents in arms against the
Government. There can be no question about
the right and the duty of the Government in
the case, except by those who dispute the
right Of the Government 10 maintain the Con
stitution by force. If the Government has q
right to suppress the insurrection, it has The
right and it is its duty to stop supplies from
the insurgents. Those who desire the Union
preserved and the rebellion pat down. will ap
prove this movement. 1t is not expected thai
it will satisfy 5eccssionists, nor sympathiscrs
with them

Yesterday was the most important day of the

was fully redeemed froas the Seccssionists, who
have SO nearly ruined it. Oae of the officers

One Of the most noted traitors in the coun-
try is Senator Mason of Virginia, and no man
in the State has done more than he has to ar
ray it in hostility to the Federal Government
He was recently in Philade!PI,ia, for the PaT-
pose Of seeing TO bis interests there, leing Il
large property holder in the city. but was COM
pelled to secrete himself and leave clandestine
ly to avoid the authorities who were endeavor.
ing to arrest him. Though he escaped himself
he was not able to carry his properly with
him, and it is likely it will be appropriated to
public use TO aid in prosecuting the war. thus
making good to some extent the losses sus-
tniued by the thests of Government property
ip Virginia.
The following extract from the proceedings
Of the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature shows that the
affairs of the traitor are to receive some at
tcntion at their bands:
Mr.. Ball read in place an act relative to j ass
NJ. Mason, now OF lately a Senator of the Uni

guilty Of treason, in giving aid and Comfort to

A SINGULAR CoNFEasIos.-That bitter Sc
cession ,heet, the Richmond Examiner, with
remarkable candor, coufesses' that the Virgin
ians under arms against the Government find
three things to disgust them; frst. the hard
life of camp; secondly, the bad quality Of thrr
viciualS; thirdly, the Consciousness that those
who command them are getting sicg Of Seqes-
sion. Under this third hcad it says:
But there is another and greater grief in The
hearts Of our men,. which the whole State
shares with them-shat those are set TO in
spect and rule over than wnn wrre bitterly oP-
posed to the act of Secession, and who now
abhor that just war which is one of its newt
able consequences. What can be hoped of
leaders who believe in their hearts that they
are working treason and merit the halter?

The reports in reference to the state OF af-
fairs at Pensacola are exceedingly conflicting
One account represents the rebels as preparing
to evacuate the place, baving abandoned all
hope of taking Fort P;ckens, or of being able
to hold the positions they now occupy in the
neigIborhood. Another says they have nearly
completed their arrangements for an attack,
and have no doubt Of their ability to capture
the fort Sti!l another account represents
them as husiIy engaged in mining the Navy
Yard aud forts in their possession, with the view
Of blowing them mp in case Of their defeat in
the conflict which they regard as near at hand
All accounts concur in representing the Gov
ermnent forces in the fort and on board the
feet as confident OF their ability TO repcl
any force the rebels can muster, 10 destroy
their batteries, and rout them from all the osi-
tions they occupy.

three camps at Cairo-one at the

one on the Ohio levec, below the

Many OF the people Of Washington are 10y
al only on conrpulsion, or rather from necessi
ty, and should there be any prospect Of sue
cess on the part of the rebels in their designs
upon The city, this class of the population
would at once array themselves against the
Government. 1t is also manifest that there are
many secession spies lurking within the city
who keep the rebel authorities constantly pos
ted in regard TO movements at the Capital
and to these persons is attributed the recent
attempts 10 burn the ci;y-the last Of which
made on Thursday night Of last week, came
