the 10th, 50th, 55th, 10th, and Tooth

companies of infantry, four companies of
cavalry, five companies of light artillery;
the 51th infantry are at Cockeysyille, in
Maryland one company of artillery is
at Fort Delaware all the remainder of
the volunteers are at or near Washington.
Upwards of 80 volunteers from Pennsyl-
vania are now prisoners, but as arrange
ments have been made for the exchange of
prisoners it may be expected that they
will soon be released.
In compliance with the joint resolutions
of the 10th of May lat, have procured
regimental flags for tho Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, and have presented them in per-
son to most of the regiments. In other
cases the regiments being on or near the
Potomac | have requested Mr., Cowan,
Senator, and Messrs. Grow and Wright,
members of the House of Representatives
from Pennsylvania, to present them in the
name of the Commonwealth.
The General Government requested that
the States should abstain from purchasing
arms, as their competition was found in
furious in the market, and in view of the
large expenditures of money in arming
and equpping the volunteer force of the
State, provided for the National Govern
ment, | did not purchase any as author
lied by the 2Sth section of the 18th of
May, 1861. The State has now quite as
many arms as are necessary to arm all
the volunteer organizations in existence
but, Influenced by the threatening aspect
of our relations with foreign governments,
l have directed the Adjutant General to
procure arms as soon as it can be done on
reasonable terms and without injurious
competition with the National Govern
ment.
Arms have been distributed among the
border counties to all the organizations

1t will be observed that the fiscal year
ends on the seth of November, and the
sinking fund year on the first Monday in
September, which accounts for the appar
ent deficiency in the amount of debt paid
as stated in the Treasurer report, and
by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
The State has on hand a surplus of uni
forms and equipments which cost about
100000, which the United States have
agreed to take and pay for at cost Ar.
rangements have been made with the Gen
eral Government for the reimbursement of
the military expenses of the State since
the 9th of July last The bills as paid
are forwarded to Washington and partial
repayments have already been made.
1t will be observed that the receipts from
ordinary sources of revenue for the year
1861 have decreased, but as payments
have been made on some of them since
the settlement at the end of the fiscal year
on the first of December, and more may
reasonably be expected in addition to the
payments to be made by the n ational Gov
ernmcnt as hereinafter stated, the balance
available in the treasury will be largely
increased
1t will also be observed that it has not
yet been found necessary to call in all of
the loan effected under the act of the 18th
of May la t.
In some items the ordinary revenue of
1861 was in excess of that of $50.
The loan authorized by the act of May
18th, 1861, was taken at par. This oc
eurrence, most gratifying under all the
then existing circumstances of embarrass-
mcnt, affords triumphant evidence of the
confidence of the people in the stability
aud integrity Of the Commonwealth and
of their determination to support the Gov
crnment
The operations of the Sinking Fund
during the last year have been, as shown

now ready for marching ordors-and it is
due to the first Erie regiment to say that
most of the men are now in service
Further acquisitions for sixteen regi-
mentS of Infantry and two regiments of
Cavalry were shortly afterwards made by
the War Department. OF these, sixteen
have already been raised and are in the
service of thh United States, and the re-
naming two are in the course of organiza.
ton and nearly ready to march.
In addition to the acquisitions on the
State, the War Department had given
authority to numerous individuals to raise
volunteers in PennsJ Jlvana, but as the
system was found to create much ombar
rassment, a general order was issued by
the War Department, on the 25th of Sep
tember last, placing all such organizati ons
under the control of the Governor, and
shortly afterwards requisition waa made
on the State to increase her quota to 49,
600 men. Those Independent organiza-
tions, as they are called, thus became
Pennsylvania regiments, and, so compile
ted and sent forward, from part of the
quota Of the State.
The State regiments have been num-
bered, and the last to this date is num-
bercd 115. Those of the three months
regiments have continued in service under
the later acquisitions, and retain their or
iginal numbers. Deducting the remain
ing twenty three months regiments, there
are ninety-two regiments in service and
preparing for it.. We have also in service
and preparing twenty-four companies.
The following table of the existing
Pennsylvania volunteer force is given for

General Pope's Flank Movement on

The first work OF Gen. POPE, the New
York Times says will of course be to take
in hand that audacious rebel marauder,
SToNEwALL JACKSON, land in this business
of rebel catching, be has had more expe>
rience than any man in the field,) and drive
him finally out of the region which be has
SO long ravaged--or, what would be still
better, and more accoTdant with PoPE's
antecedents, "bag" or destroy him and bis
entire command. The Times adds:
Beside this vitality important work, how.
ever, General Pope, in the words OF the of
fetal order, "viW also operate against the
enemy at Richmond" With the very large
body OF troops under his command, it will
not be loUg until he performs the FIRST labor
assigned him, and his entire force will then
be free to strike at the rebel capital from
the North. The Importance of move>
ment from this direction, and by these bod.
les now united under him, has long been
apparent to everybod II was for long
time thought that General Mcdowell had
had duty assigned him 10 this direction.
But week after week add month after
month has passed away, AID bis command
has only lain quietly OF the Rappabsnnock,
or been moved in Ineffective attachments
into the Valley to fall prey to the enemy.
Now that clear head, determined will,
and swift-moving General has the work
given him, the public will not iced to wait

Upon quitting the Strawberry Festival l
returned post haste again TO Paris, where l

Bob Shorty and company from the Comic
Section of the Mackerel Brigade on a forag,

straw beds for the feeding of the Anatomi,

servative Kentucky chap went along to see
that we did not violate the constitution nor

Can such be the case, my boy--car such
be the case? Then did our revolutionary
forefatbers live in vain.
Having moved along in gorgeous caval
cade until about noon, we stopped at the
house of First Family of Virginia who
were just going to diRner. Captain Rob
Shorty ordered the Msckerels to stack arms
and draw canteens in the front door yard,
and then we entered the domicil and saluts

room.

The Affair at Grand Gulf.

WASHINGTON, June 26.
Flag officer Farragut communicated to
the Navy Department the report of an en-
counter between our gunboats on the Miss.
issippi and the rebel artillery in the vicini-
ty Of Grand Gulf, between Natchez and
Vicksburg. A boat sent down to bring up
coal vessels from near that point discovered
earthworks in the process of construction.
The WapaspinicOn and Itasca were sent
down to attack them.
They found battery Of rifled guns locat-
ed there and force of 800 artillerists ready
to receive them. A vigorous fight eDsued
the Itasca was struck twenty-five time and
the Wapsapinicon seventeen. They however
lost but one man killed and six wounded
The fort being too serious an obstacle to
have in the reach of the boats, Commander
Palmer on arriving at that point decided to
bring the remainder Of the squadron down
and break up the business before 1t
became too formidable.
On the afternoon of the 18th he dropped
down abreast with the squadron and shelled
the town for an hour, but they deser ted
their batteries, and with the exception of
rifle shots manifested no resistance. Com.
Palmer says the heights are flied with rife
men, and if they give him any more annoy
ence be shall burn the town.
Grand Gulf is village 10 CIairborne
county, Mississippi, two miles below the
mouth OF Black kiver, and sixty miles above
Natchez. 1t contains population of 1000
and has been large cotton exporting point.

informed that Gen. Hunter had given posi-
tive orders, both verbal and written, that
no advance should be made except by his
order; yet in the face of all this the attempt
to storm the work was ordered l hear
that on the second attack the batteries had
ceased firing for some minutes, that Gen
Williams had f1anked them On their right,
and that in few minutes more the works
would have been in our possession, when
retreat was ordered, during which we were
worse slaughtered than at any time before.

1t is rumored that Secretary Stewards
visit to New York and Boston is connected
with some recent foreign complications.
Nothing is definitely known, however. The
conviction is becoming general that nothing
but speedy victories will prevent foreign ID

The Atlanta (Ga.) Coysderacy of the
10Th inst, under date of Knoxville, June
18th, reports Cumberland Gap evacuated
by the rebel forces.
1t is regarded as one of the most impregna.
BILE positions in the confederacy. The Cum
berland range presented natural Notifications
unprecedented almost in the world, while the
Gap itself is SO well and thoroughly strength.
ened, it was thought 1870 men would easily
keep back ten thousand. If this be true, the
federals can now walk into East Tennessee. A
march of some thirty or forty miles will bring
them up to our railroad, possession which will
be disastrous in the extreme.
