Comp Dcunl.., NT.t,ers,

The principal subject in consideration at
the Camp yesterday was the enlistment for
the term Of three years. The companies
were filling up rapidly, and several regiments
had been filled, while others were nearly.
complete, There Is a general desire among
those who have enlisted for the beginning Of
the war, TO see It through. They reason,
properly, that he would be a very Indifferent
soldier who should give out before the war
commenced. The transformation Of tempo
rary volunteers into permanent soldiers must
satisfy every one that the men are in earnest.
The German Regiment of Cincinnati is
ready for service, eYery-company full, all the
equipments provided, and arms received in
prime order. The Montgomery Regiment is
also full.
The Guthrie Grays and the Fifth Regiment
lack several hundred men, but they are con-
fdent of making up the full quota without
fesorting to the expedient of adding new
companies.
One of the causes Of delay in the three
years enlistment is undoubtedly the neglect
on the part Of the proper authorities TO
furnish the uniforms and arms. On the other
hand, the recent active military operations
in Virginia and elsewhere, ore firing the men
with new zeal.
Company D, Guthrie Regiment, has lost

following officers in the various companies

Secession Reasons Why SO Few Were
Killed at Bort Sumter.

Killed at Bort Sumter.
The Charleston Is. C.) Mercury thus e1-
plains the reason why there was so little loss
Of life in the taking of Fort Sumter:
First, it was only known that only so
They could, accordingly, man only 80 many
guns.
Next, it was known that only 30 many
guns could be brought to bear upon our bat
t%eries, and these batteries were 30 placed,
accordingly, as to allow Of their exposure
only to the smallest possible Humber Of guns.
Sand bags, and iron, and traverse, did the
rest.
Again, it was deliberately arranged that
the enemy in Fort Sumter should be driven
from this bdT6ette as soon as possible. The
fires of Fort Moultrie and other points were
calculated to bear almost solely on the bar
bette. Major Anderson, being a pious phi
losopher of the Puritan school, seems to have
made a blunder at the beginning, in not
opening fire for full two hours after the Caro-
lima batteries had been at work. By this
time the range had been gained, and bis bar
bette had become quite too hot for comfort.
1t is said that having no oil, he could not
see to shoot at half past four in the morning.
But this difficulty could only apply to his
easements. On his barbette he had lust as
much light as bis assailants, and, in fact,
being some forty feet higher, he had some.
thing more. Could be have kept up the
work at his barbette guns, he would have
lone much more mischief. But Colonel
Ripley knew this, and arranged, long before,
that the barbette must be rendered untena'

at the city, which was not shooting at him,
numbering a few score of spectators, women
and children. There is no mystery in the
affair, properly examined.

Condition Of Afairs In AlexnndriR-Repre
hensib1e COnduct of the Zouaves.

hensible Conduct of the Zouaves.
Monday evenings Washington Star says:
Great complaints are made Of the conduct
of a few Of the Iouaves in Alexandria. One
Of them is said to have committed q rape
there; two others to have resisted officers;
two to have broken into the store Of Mr.. Nc
burney and robbed him Of groceries and
liquors. Others TO have plundered the drug
store of Mr.. Hart. Its rumored To- day that
two Of them are TO be shot for their impro-
per conduct. This (not being known at
Head. quarters here) can not be true. The
officers charged with the duty of preventing
such occurrences are not fit for their places,
evidently, and will shortly be superseded if
not speedily becoming soldiers enough TO
control men under them. The Zouaves are
to-day moving ont to an encampment on the
nights back of the first toll-gate, on the
Little River Turnpike, overlooking Alex
andria.
The conduct of the Michigan troops has
been the theme of the admiration Of the
people Of Alexandria.
On Friday night at nine P. NJ. the Prince
William Cavalry burned the toll bridge over
the Occaquan River sixteen miles from Alex
andria) 70 the waters edge-injuring the
Messrs. Janey, its owners, to the extent of
$4,000. . ,rs
The panic is not over in Alexandria yet,
owing to the shameful conduct Of a few OF
the ZouRves.
Mr.. Snowden, of the Gazette, remains with
his press, &c, there, though the Gazette is
not now issued. Richard Smith got off much
of bis Sentinel printing office, on Thursday,
TO Warrentop.
Not a single active Secessionist remains in
Alexandria at this time. The town is under
martial law; a pass from Captain Whittlesey,
of the Michigan Regiment, Provost Marshal,
being required to enable any one to leave it.
The rains of the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad only run down as far as the ManAs-
sas Junction, now.
Yesterday morning four Secessionists were
captured by the National pickets, in Alex.
andria, and subsequently Colonel Wilcox
ordered the arrest of several other persons
in the vicinity, our outposts having been
fred upon BY disunionists. On Saturday,
the Colonel had prepared q proclamation
assuring peaceable citizens that their lives
and property would be protected, but the
printing Office, being Secession, refused to
print il. Colonel Wilcox then seized the
office, and will have it printed by men under
his command. Several parcels Of arms and
ammunition have been seized.
Yesterday Colonel Wilcox issued a procla-
ton appointing Captain Whittlesy, of the
First Michigan Regiment, Provost Marshal
of Alexandria, with power to grant passes,
&C., and assuring all peaceable citizens Of
protection to themselves and property.
Company @, of the Michigan Regiment are
detailed for police duty in the city.

A.SecesAiOn Journal on Governor Hicks
and Maryland

The New Orleans Della observes:
The man, of all others, who has earned
the largest share of infamy in this revolution,
is Hicks, the Governor Of Maryland. To
this cowardly traitor the people of Maryland
owe the greatest humiliation and degrsda-
tion that any American people have ever
suffered. The presence of a w~retched, blear-
ey ed, filthy Yankee demagogue and petit
logger as Governor and Dictator 10 the once
proud city of Baltimore, debating laws and
Issuing DEGREES to the people, is the most
pitiable spectacle in American history. Far
better would it have been if the original
threat of the Abolitionist had been executed,
and Baltimore had been leveled, and her size
plowed over And sown with salt, than such a
disgrace.
The only thing that can ever sustain a
Marylander under such o burden Of infamy,
will be the hope Of revenge and redemption
when the people shall escape from the tolls
in which the treachery of their Arnold has
involved them, and shall rise against the in-
solent invader and dreneh their streets with
bis blood. If this is not done, the title of
Baltimorean and Marylander will be hence
forth one of intamy and disgrace. 1t is bad
enough TO be overwhelmed by superior force
in any conflict, but the last of all ~indlgnities
to which any people can be subjected, is that
which the community Of Baltimore is now
suffering; the domination ofa Yankee dicta-
tor, and the most vulgar specimen Of a low
born demagogue that was ever Invested with
authority or command.
