Arrival of the Pony Express Dates to
May Oath.
SACRAMENTO June 5th
The following news, by the Pony, is from
the Union Extra
ST.. LOUIS, May oath, P. NJ.
The Grand Lodge of Mo- is now in Session
in this city.
The Herald's correspondence, dated Balti-
more, May 23d, says two persons are now
under examination here, charged with treason,
in enlisting and sending troops from Balti-
more to join the Confederate army 200 snch
troops have left Baltimore up to this time,
but it was not certain that the prisoners had
any hand in their enlistment
Washington was in a feverish excitement
all day concerning the announcement that
eight regiments had received orders to march
at moments notice, and that 10 rounds of
ball cartrides had been supplied to them. The
meaning of the order has not transpired, but
up to late hour not single regiment has
been moved from its quarters.
Rumors are flying to the effect that the Sec
retary of State received dispatches from Eng
land, declaring that it was no longer in the
power of her Majesty's Government to accept
the proposition to recognize the code of the
Paris Congress, Of 1856, denouncing priyateer-
ing as piracy.
WASHINGTON, May oath.
AS was supposed, would be the case, late
last night several regiments, with the New
York and Michigan brigades, Ellsworth's
Zouaves, and the District of Columbia troops
crossed into Virginia.
The Virginia pickets having been previous
ly driven in by the advance guard one of the
regiments took the road leading to the Fair
fax Court House, about 20 miles from Wash
ington, while another, the Perry, stopped at
the barracks, mile from the long bridge,
awaiting orders
An advance into Virginia was also made
from another point, namely at the mouth of
the Potomac Acqueduct at Georgetown.
The 7th, n. Y regiment, was among the
troops, and after several hours marching oc-
cuped point between the bridge and Co.
lumbia Spring, on the line of the Washington
and Alexandria railroad.
The District of Columbia troops return to
Washington this morning from six to ten
thousand troops were sent into Virginia.
This morning firing was heard occasionally
by the driving in of the pickets.
The New York Zouaves the l4th and Goth,
and the New FORK regiment hold Alexandria,
while Arlington Heights are occupied by sew
eral regiments. The entrance into Alexandria
was attended by an event which has cast the
deepest gloom over this community. Colonel
Ellsworth, who had hauled down the Seces-
sion flag from the Marshal's house, was soon
after shot by a concealed foe. His body has
been brought to the Washington Navy Yard.
Accounts from Alexandria somewhat con-
tradcts this, but there is no doubt of the fact
that man named jackson, who shot Els
worth, was instantly put to death. Some say
by both bullet and bayonet.
When the Federal troops reached Alexan-
dria, the Virginia soldiers fired at them and
fled.
1t seems to be true that a body of Federal
troops has advanced to Fairfax Court House,
to take possession of the junction of the
Orange and Alexandria and Managses Gap
railroad, with view Of ntercepting the ad-
vance of Virginia troops towards Alexandria
from Richmond and other points.
From a spy-glass view of Alexandria the
stars and stripes are flying from various points.
1900 Tennessee troops arrived at Rich
mond on Tuesday.
New YeRK, May 24th.
The news of the death Of Colonel Ellsworth
created intense eycitements here regret at
his loss is mingled with general feeling that
he must be avenged.
Sr LOUIS, May 25th, A. NJ.
A strong feeling seems to prevail here that
General Harvey will be obliged to use the
military power against the Secessionists of
Missouri. Union men say the treaty, so far,
has not been regarded by the Secessionists,
and they have prosecuted Union men more
than ever before. General Harney, Colonel
Blair and General Lyon, and others, declare
that this persecution must cease, or General
Jackson and his friends will be made ac-
quainted with the Federal bayonets. Post
master Blair prepared an order to-day, discon-
tinuing the transmission of the United States
mail in Virginia and other seeded States, not
including Tennessee-Tennessee is exempt.
The Government is in possession of startling
information from Baltimore that certain prom
inent Union men who in the presence of the
United States troops have loudly professed
devotion to the Union, are secretly working
for Secessionists. Their names and accurate
information about them and their plans, are in
the hands of the Administration.
About 10000 troops have crossed the Po
tomae, and are now in Virginia.
