WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May IA, 1861.
THE REPORTED ATTEMPTS AT POISONING.
Great caution is observed by the Coonels Of
all the regiments concerning the purchase of food
of peddlers, &C., and such people will not be
allowed near camp. The report from the 18th
Regiment was Inaliciously circulated, and sent 10
several papers. There is no truth in it.
The regimental orders at all the camps pro-
hibit yenders of liquors, vegetables, or fruits IRON
entering. unless they have special permit from
a colonel. This is well on many accounts, but
principally that in this way they may ehectuaiy
guard against any attempt On the part OF SeceS-
sionists to poison the troops.
MILITARY MATTERS.
The Eighth (Msss.) Regiment LETT early TINS
morning for the Relay House. The First new
Jerssvl Regiment to-day received new style oi
s,ms The Rhode Island Regiment sent one
company to camp this evening" and tae resi- oi
the regiment follows to-lnccirro" o.
THE sLAvEHOLDING INDIANS.
II seems that the anticipated trouble among
the slayeholdiug Indians is not 50 serious as was
reported. The old men and chiefs see that
power is with the Government, and know that
safety lies alone in their adhesion TO the Union.
But the young men are anxious for fight. They
have been excited and melted by men from
Texas and Arkansas, who make them believe the
Abolitionsts are determined " set loose all their
slaves. The Government are saDguine OF an
early adjustment of these affairs.
BUOys FOR THE POTOMAC.
The u. S. steamer Mount Vernon with a load
of buoys to replace those which have been re-
moved from the Potomac, went down the river
yesterday evening, and with other small vessels
will endeavor TO reinstate the security OF the
river navigation.
FLAG FOR TIE POST-oTFFE.
The clerks of the Post-Office Department are
arranging for a flag-raisng that Department
building. They have ordered o new aud splendid
American banner from New-YOrk, which VIII be
thirty feet long by twenty wide. The ceremony
of raising it will take place Saturday, when
the Post-Offce Guards, Capt. Scott, will be
present. There will be vocal and instrumental
music and brief speech from Postmaster. Cen
eral Blair.
GOV. PRICE AND THE UNION.
Gov. Price Of New-Jerfey has written letter
South, in which he says he fears the Union Is
permanently dissolved. He sees no hope oil re-
adjustment, and only prays for speedy peace
Last evening, three additional regiments were
offered from New-Jersey, which would be ready
in ten days. Mr.. Cameron answered that 1t
was too long 10 wait and that all troops would
be wanted here at once.
We look tonight for the arrival Of three Penn
sylyania regiments, and in command Of Gen.
Cadwallader.
MExICANs MOVING on TEXAS.
Government has intelligence that large bodies
OF Mexcans are garrisoning their frontier towns.
There is now no doubt that the Lone Star State
will soon have lively times in looking after our
Government troops, various tribes Of mcrciless
Indians, and predatory bands of Mexican SOL
ders, and may, perhaps, wish she was safe home
again.
MOVEMENTS OF INDIANA.
Gov. Morton of Indiana has contracted at Cin-
cinnati for eight brass 6pOunder and four brass
S.pounder howitzers for firing shot or shell, TO
be made and delivered in thirty days to the cone
xnander Of the forces in Indiana.
