THE INDIANA STATE GUARD,

SATURDAY, JUNE 1, The News. . ' We refer lo oilier columns for the news since our last. The death of Col. Ellsworth, at Alexandria, has cast a gloom over all, both in and out of the army. ' The federal troops arc gradually and steadily closing in the Confederate forces in Virginia. The advances on the East, North, and West, arc steady, with a strong force, and, as yet, have met with no resistance. The reports this morning nro that the Southern troops will evacuate Harper's Ferry, which is altogether likely. We place little confidence in the reports as to the' number and movements of the Southern troops, as the communication by telegraph is entirely cut oft, and oilier channels are uncertain and unreliable. The Legislature adjourns to-day. Except giving the sword and purse into the hands of Gov. Morion, passing a militia bill, and increasing the State taxes, (hey have done little or nothing The amount of money appropriated for war purposes is over 83,000,000. Commissary General, On last Saturday the Housu passed a -resolution, by a vote of 70 for, to none against, two refusing to vote, requesting the Governor to remove the Commissary General (Isaiah Mansur, of ibis city,) for incompetency and malfeasance in office. The resolution was passed after hearing the report of the committee appointed to investigate the matter, and the evidence taken by them. The report and evidence is published we have seen it, and except in the adulteration of coffee, we see but little that deserves the severe and unusual censure the Legislature has passed on Mr. Msnsur. But in these days it is an easy matter for both citizens and deliberative bodies to givj circulation and currency to rumors derogatory lo the character of our best citizens, and most efficient public officers. We would not apologize for any wrong Mr, Mansur may have done, and wherein he is guilty let him be punished ; but it should only be done after a fair and impartial trial, and not on exparte evidence. The peculiar circumstances under which Mr. Mansur accepted this office his offer to advance his own means, and furnish his own provisions, looking to the future action of the Legislature to reimburse him, and this, loo, as we know, at a lime when it was believed that one portion of the Legislature, from their own record, would be very slow lo vole monev lo aid this war and ihe sudden influx of troops to be provided, and the vast amounts necessary for their consumption, entitle him to more consideration than he has received at least should have induced the Legislature to be very slow in destroying his character as an officer, and a man. We believe that many a public officer has been ruined by tx-parle evidence it may be so in this case. We know that Mr. Mansur has hitherto sustained a character for strict mercantile probity, during many years engaged in heavy pork operations in this city. We understand he has resigned his place, and Mr. Stone, of Randolph county, has been appointed in his place. Troops LeavIno,- The 7th Regiment, Col. Dumont, ihe 6th, Col. Crittenden, and the 9th, Col. Milroy, left this city on Wednesday and Thursday for Western Virginia. These Regiments present a fine appearance they are good looking men, and we will hear a good report of them. It is understood that Col. Morris will have charge of the troops concentrating at Western Virginia. . 3t3T The pine fence around the new Fair Ground has been nearly ruined by the Troops. On the Fall Creek road, nearly one-half of the boards are cut out. The fine grass sod is tramped out almost entirely, and will take two years to get it in as good order again. After the troops accepted by the United States are moved, the State troops left will occupy the old Militaryground, west of the State House. JC3TMr. Patterson, a clerk in th'e New York Store', died on Tuesday from the effect of injuries received by his bed catching fire while asleep in it, at the Bates House. i jCSTThe extract copied from the1 Sentinel last week, erred in stating that Mrs. Ijoe made the presentation speech, on behalf of the Indianapolis Ladies, in presenting the flag1 to Col. Benton's Regiment. Mrs. Anna Baggs was the Lady, and the Regiment was so much pleased with her remarks that they seranaded her on Tuesday night. t3T The latest telegraphic reports announce that Senator Douglas is laying nt the point of death, at Chicago. His disease was inflammatory rheumatism, which turned to Typhoid Fever. Five years ago the dealh of Judge Douglas would have been considered a national calamity now many of his early friends can more easily be reconciled to his loss. From the reports, we should judge there was little hopes for bis recovery.

Colonel Lefferts addressed the New York 7th Regiment, informing them that their term of enlistment had expired, and they were at liberty to return home it they desired so to do, but the Secretary of v'ar would be glad if they would remain in Washington three days longer. Every man shouted that he was ready to stay for that lime, and as much longer as the government desired. It is understood that the government does not feel at liberty to detain them longer than the time mentioned. They will then return home. The government has satisfactory information that the Commissioners of the Confederate States in Europe have met in England with a decided and emphatic refusal to negotiate their preten sions. Lord John liussell, with whatever uncer tainly he may have expressed himself on other points, made no concealment In regard to this matter. The same intelligence comes from the French Government. The Emperor and M. Thouvenal were decided. The information to the foregoing effect has been received by a diplomatist in Washington, and the news is well nccrediled, and is a matter of discussion in diplomatic circles.. . .'.' Gov. Banks has been appointed Commissary General. Baltimore, May 28. The United States Court House and adjacent streets were densely crowded to day, to learn the proceedings in the habeas corpus case of Mr. Merriman, detained at Fort McHenry. A writ of attachment was issued to day against Gen. Cadwallader, for contempt of Court. The Marshal reported that on going on there he was refused admittance to the fort. Chief Justice Taney read a statement, showing thai, the proceedings of the military were illegal, and said that in an oral statement, fearing iie should be misunderstood, he should put his opinion in writing, and file it during the week in the Clerk's office of the Circuit Court, and also forward one to the President, and calling on him to perform his constitutional duly, see that the laws be faithfully executed, and enforce the decrees of this Court. A gentleman has arrived here from Norfolk, who came through Richmond and Fredericksburg. Gen. Btuler had not commenced operations yet, but an attack was looked for daily. He could not ascertain ihe number of troops at Norfolk, but estimates them at 20,000. Troops were daily arriving from the South. Apprehension was felt that Norfolk would be taken. Twenty-eight cars, filled with soldiers, passed Petersburg Sat'irday. He thinks 16,000 troops are at Richmond. An attack was expected from York River, which is guarded against by batteries and earth works. It is said to be well supplied with heavy artillery. He was informed there were 10,000 troops in the hills about Fredericksburg, strengthened by numerous batteries. Manasas Gap was reinforced Sunday night by troops from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. A special dispatch from Williamsport says, mysterious movements are going on there. Neither friends or foes are allowed to visit the rebel camp. It was surmised it was intended to make a retreat, or to cross the river. I,oci8viLLi, May 28. Ex-Governor More-:

head's letter to the Journal said, should Lincoln herenfler assume an aspect of war for overrunning and subjugating the seceding Stales, Kentucky, without counting the. cost, ought to take up arms against ihe government; unul then she should compel both sides lo respect ihe inviolability of her soil. : Cairo, May 28.

Cincinnati, May 29. Before crossing the Ohio river, Major General McClellan issued a proclamation to the Union men of Western Vir ginia, setting forth that ihe troops came as their friends and brothers, and that their homes, families and property were safe under their protection ; that no interference would be made with their slaves ; but on the contrary, any attempt at insurrection would bo crushed with an iron hand. The General's proclamation to his soldiers says: ' You are ordered to cross the frontier and enter upon the soil of Virginia. Your mission is to restore pence and confidence and to protect the majesty of the law, and rescue our brethren from the grasp of armed traitors. I place under the safeguard of your honor the persons and proper ty ol Ihe Virginians. I know you will respect their feelings and all their rights, preserve the strictest discipline. Remember each one of you holds in his keeping the honor of Ohio and of the Union. If you are called upon to overcome armed opposition, I know that your courage is equal to the task ; Out rememoer mat your oniy lues are the armed traitors, and show mercy to them when they are in your power. When under your protection the loyal men of Western Virginia have been enabled to organize and arm they can protect themselves ; and you can then return to your homes with the proud satisfaction of having preserved a gallant people from destruction." Wasiiington, May 28. It is Ihe general impression that a movement will be made so far into Virginia ihat all retreat of rebels at Harper's Ferry will be cut off. A well-known citizen of North Carolina reached here to-night from that State. He thinks reports of the number, condition and armament of Southern troops are greatly exaggerated. It seems that it is their determination to act solely 6n the defensive in this war. The 2nd New York regiment was sworn in today, except some 300, who refused to be sworn for three years. All their uniforms except their pantaloons were stripped from them, and they came into the city from the Encampment. Hon. James Ashley, of Ohio, arrived to-night from Fortress Monroe. He reports' all quiet there. There was some 10,000 men under Gen. Butler's command. He will make no advance into Virginia uniil he has at least 10,000 more. The Tribune's dispatc says n citizen of Paducah, who was pressingly invited to leave, reports the secession feeling in the six western counties of Kentucky as being fully equal to that of South Carolina, from the leunessee river to Ihe Mis sissippi mob law and intolerance reigned. Arms and ammunition are being daily taken through Montgomery county, Md., to Harper's Ferry. . The details of the new levy of 100,000 will soon be made known lo the country. The President said to-day' that all full regi ments ready for service would have an opportunity to come forward in a few days. -v.-'. Fifteen regiments in all have been accepted in Illinois. An important movement on Grafton Virginia, is being made, A large body of troops have already crossed the river hastily to their rendezvous. The Virginia detachment is at Grafton in considerable force, and it is believed that a collision is inevitable. Harper's Ferry will probably be evacuated by this direction of columns without any direct dem onstration being made upon the troops there posted. The following from Fortress Monroe, dated Mondav eveninsr. Mav 27th, from the correspond ence of the Associated Press : A force of 2,600 men, including a few regu lars and four pieces of artillery, formed to day an entrenched camp at Newport, near ihe mouth of the James river, about ten miles from Fortress Monroe. The rebel battery fired four shot at the Empire City and Quaker City, off SewalPs Point, though over three miles distant, the shot fell but little short, indicating that the guns of the rebel battery are of the heaviest calibre. Newport, like Sewell's Point, is in plain sight from Fortress Monroe. The roadsted is about three miles wide. One object of ihe entrenched camp is to command a s.ind island, which is about midway between, and completely guards the entrance to James river. Gen. Butler was fearful that the rebels would take possession of the Island Newport commands, also the peninsula between the James and York rivers. A large force is to be assembled there, and so important a movement is likely to meet opposition. There was evidently great opposilion at Sewell's point last night. Hamton county is nearly deserted.. The long bridge there was burned on Saturday night. One hundred fugitives came in this morning. They were provided with rations and set to work. Washington, May 29. There are constantly coming into Fortress Monroe, from the surrounding country, quile a number of slaves, who are desirous of being set to work. Gen. Butler holds them as contraband of war. The Secrrtary of the Treasury to-day telegraphed to the Collector at Cincinnati an order to facilitate supplies of goods to the loyalists of Western Virginia, entering at the port of Wheeling, that section being exempt from the restrictions of blockade. The general character of the correspondence just received here, show a better understanding in Jburopean capitals ol the true condition ol affairs in this country. Col. Anderson has been assigned the command of a Western military department. Gen. McDonald, commanding the new Virginia Military Geographical Department has no particular place for his headquarters, and they will be moveable, according to circumstances. Information has reached Washington that the secession forces have thrown up entrenchments, perhaps two hundred feet square, at Manassas Gap Junction, and commanding the track for perhaps a mile. They sre under command of Gen. Bonham, of South Carolina. Col. Magruder was there in command of a battery. Gov. atea and John A. McClernand leave here to-morrow for their homes in Illinois, hav ing accomplished the object of their visit, which was the arrangement ol certain military and eom-

mercial and subsislance questions. Another re

sult of their mission is the acceptance of six reel ments of three months volunteers for three years, together with eleven additional regiments for the same period. Ciiamiikushuhu, May 29. It is known that the secessionists at Williamsport and Hagerstown are concerting plans to invade Washington. Ihe mdve is supposed lo indicate an attempt to inter fere with the election of Thomas to Congress, which is deemed an overwhelming certainty. St. Louis, May 29. Col. McAriliur's regiment of Illinois volunteers left Casey ville yes terdny, under 'orders to proceed to some point southward. Col. Blair's regiment of Missouri volunteers are under marching. orders, and are expected to move toward Virginia in A day or two. Boston, May 29. A correspondent of the Taanscript states that the commanders of the Minnesota and Niagara are in possession of the names and descriptions of the vessels shortly expected at New Orleans, with valuable arms and munitions of war, purchased by the rebels in Europe, A close watch is arranged for their capThe ship Abelind recently arrived at New Or leans, from Boston, has been seized by the rebel authorities. Baltimore, May 29. A steamer from For tress Monroe has arrived here. She left last evening at 6 o'clock, when a small steamer from Norfolk with a flag of truce', had just landed over one hundred refugees on the Cumberland. They were mostly wives and children of laborers in the navy yard. No immediate atlnck on Sewell's Point or Norfolk need be expected. Gen. Buller will not risk valuable lives for a point of so liltle stragelie importance compared with others near at hand. It is anticipated that Gen. Butler will land a force at Olien View, six miles from Sewell's Point and six from Norfolk. Philadelphia, May 29. A western movement ment of the Philadelphia troops is afloat. Several regiments under Gen. Patterson leave at once on the Pennsylvania road. Rumored destination, Harper's Ferry. New York, May 29. The Commercial's Washington dispatch says: Col. Buller, brother of Gen. Butler, had a long interview with the Cabinet to day. General Butler desires that instructions may be sent to him regarding the method of dealing with fugitives. It is understood that the Government fully indorses the previous course of Gen. Butler regarding slaves. The Post's dispatch says: . Great interest is manifested in the Holt hnbeas corpus case, It is thought that the government will respect the court's civil powers. Secretary Cameron is ill. The President has accepted four Illinois regiments, who come to him rather than await ac tion. They include Ellsworth's original Zouaves, and Hopkins's German regiment. Government is satisfied that ihe naval preparations are in such a slate of forwardness as to efficiently blockade every southern port by the 15th of June. Cairo, May 29. A full regiment of St. Louis volunteers, under the command of Col. Shultner, arrived this afternoon, and proceeded at once to Bird's Point, which they will permanently hold. They are supplied with Minie rifles, camp equipage, and provisions for thirty days. Two batteries will be sent from here to-morrow. A gentleman from the South reports that of all the troops under command of Gen. Pillow, only 1,500 are well armed these principally at Union City and Randolph. Arms, however, are daily arriving for the others. Three 32 pounders, three 24 pounders, one eight-inch howitzer, and one eight-inch morler, are now here mounting, and will be furnished to morrow. Frarkfokt , May 29. The Convention met at Uamule Hall. Messrs. Hall, Gulhrte, W'ickliffe, Bell, Dixon, and Dunlap were chosen a commit tee to prepare general addresses. Messrs. Guthrie, Bell, Dixon, Williams, and Richardson, were appointed a committee to prepare an address to the people of Kentucky. Upon resolutions, the members of the Convention were sworn to be faithful to the Constitution of the United States while holding membership. New Orleans, May 29. An net passed Congress previous lo adjourning, prohibiting the shipment of cotton from ihe Confederate Stales, except through the seaports of said States. Friday's Reports, Washinoton, May 29. Harper's Ferry, if it is not already evacuated, will soon fall. The troops there are not now near so numerous as has been stated. There are not over 4,000 in and about the place. They are miserably equipped, and nearly starved. Gen. McClellen, with 16,000 troops, is already on the march towards Harper's Ferry. Another force will proceed from Chambersburg under Gen. Kim ; another from the Rainy House, and still another from Washington to cut on the rebels. A general order has been issued by the War Department graniing to volunteers now enlisted the same money allowance for clothing as the regulars. The Tribune's dispatch says at Grafton there were 2,500 troops on Sunday, and more were passing in from Harper's Ferry. Several bridges have been destroyed, among them one at Clarksburg on the Northwestern road, and one about half way between Wheeling and Graflon. One end only of the great rock blown down at Harper's Ferry had fallen on the track, and a few hours work with gunpowder would suffice to remove it. Gen McClellen has thrown large bodies of troops from Parkersburg and Wheeling toward Graflon, but some delay would be occasioned by rebuilding bridges. The force at Chambersburg now threatens Harper's Ferry to-day. Gov. Banks' commission as Major General was ordered, with the purpose of placing him in command of an important column. Lieut. Slemmer has arrived in Washington, and says the troops there are able to hold the fort against any force that will be brought against it. The garrison numbers about 1,000 men, and the rebel forces under Gen. Bragg about 6,000. It is understood that Major General Fremont will be assigned to the command of the western division of the army, to opperate in the Mississippi Valley. The Government is becoming embarrassed with the question of how the prisoners captured in the conflict now going on shall be disposed of. Scouts are on duty, picking up men who are proved lo be disunionists. Already, these taken exceed one hundred. The rebels are capturing Union men, thinking that when they have a sufficient number, they wiil

be able to secure the reicase of thirly-six rebels captured at Alexandria. If the Government rates these men as rebels taken in arms against the Government, they should be hung. -If the -system of exchange be adopted, there is a recognition of the rebels as belligerants, according to all the laws of nations. The Cabinet have discussed this point several times without coniin" to any result. The determination of Judge Taney to report to the President the result of his endeavor to break down the Federal Government is a discreet way of getting out of the trouble.

Washington, May 30 A gentleman arrived this morning from the neighborhood of Centre-'' ville, Virginia, twenty-three miles from Alexandria, says it is reported that there are about 4,000 secession troops there-abouts. He also confirms the report that prominent men continue lo be seized and conveyed farther into Virginia, as a hostage for the safety of about forty seces sion soldiers now in Washington, awaiting orders of the Government. The New York second regiment has been dis banded, owing to their being demoralized. It is now believed that .federal troops will oc cupy Manassas Junction to-morrow night, driving away the rebels who have congregated there. becretrry Uanieron is attending to his duties to-day. Orders were issued to-day lor the return of the 7th regiment to New York, to be mustered out of service. Capt. Engle, from Fort Monroe, reports Sew ell's point almost impregnable, and now occupied by 4,000 rebels. Butler's plan is to surround them, and cut off their supplies, thus forcing mem 10 sum u u r. . Eleven steamers are at Washington Navy Yard fining Dili 'with nmunilion, stores &c, for an unknown destination. The new military district called the Department of Ki mucky has been formed, and will be commanded by Col, Anderson. The Wj'r Department is busily engaged in making aj pointmenls for officers of the thirty regiments nf regular troops ordered by the President, in addition to the present force. These regiments, when arrangements for their organization are perfected, will be very efficient, as all the comniis-iuiicd officers will be men who have seen active service. A Philadi lphian, escaped recently from Memphis, has arrived here. He says there are about 3,000 troop- in Memphis and as many more encamped on ihe fair grounds near that city. At Orangebur-h there are about 5,000 men and a formidable Inn tery of six four pounders nnd two mortars. At Fort Rector, six miles above Memphis, there .re about 1,000 men. Opposite Fort Rector, on i !.. Tennessee side, is Fort Harris, with about 1,000 men. At Memphis and various points between there and the Missouri and Kentucky lines there are about 6,000. It has been determined by the Government to give every man serving in the army or navy a diploma on parchment, signed by the President and heads ol departments. The new Military Department of Kentucky, Col. Robt. Anderson commandant, embraces so much of that Stale as lies within 100 miles of the Ohio river. His headquarters for the present are Louisville. The receipts into the Treasury for the week ending Monday last, were $380,000. St. Louis, May 30, In the habeas corpus case of Captain McDouga, Judge Treat yesterday decided that the return of General Hartley was insufficient, and sustained the demurrer. The counsel for the respondent then asked leave to amend the return, which was granted. Col. Blair's regiment was yesterday sworn into the service of the United States for three years. About two hundred citizens of Southern Illinois left for the South a day or two since for the purpose of joining the Confederate army. The Paducah Herald, Columbus Crescent, and the Hickman Courier, secession papers of Western Kentucky, have suspended. Four steamers passed Vicksburg on the 23d with Confederate troops from New Orleans for Fort Smith, Arkansas. New Y.ork, May 30. The Post's dispatch says that the rebels are evacuating Harper's Ferry, contemplating concentrating near Richmond nnd Norfolk. When the frigate Niagara was at Havana, two New Orleans schooners were in port flying the rebel flag, but a visit from Lieut. Porler occasioned the substitution of the stars and stripes. A gentleman from Norfolk reports ten thousand troops there, well armed, food plenty, but high. There are twenty-five thousand men at Richmond, and that city is said to be strongly fortified. Jefferson Davis was ill, but expected there immediately. ILLNESS OF JUDGE DOUGLAS. Chicago, May 30. Up to last night it was thought Senator Douglas was getting better, but since then he has been gradually sinking. Fears are entertained by his friends and physicians that he will not live through the night. Cleveland, May 30. The returns of Tuesday's Congressional elections are meagre, but Richard A. Harrison, conservative Republican, has been elecledto fill Corwin's place, by a small majority over Harlan, radical Republican. Samuel Worcester has been chosen in place of Sherman, by a majority of 2,000. 11 Chicago, May 30. I he Bank Commissioners have made a call for additional securities on fiftytwo banks having a circulation of 85.000,000, secured by thirteen hundred thousand Northern, five millions Border Stale, eight hundred thousand seceded Slate stocks. The call gives the banks until June 1st, to make up this deficit. Louisville, May 30. A dispatch from Chas. A. Fuller, in the Picayune office, dated May 27, says the Brooklyn is blockading the mouths of the Mississippi. The Pensacola correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser states that several vessels including three from Apalnchicola, had been driven from there within two or three days. Cincinnati, May 30. The Ohio and Virginia troops, under the command of Col. Kelley, occupied Grafton, Va., at half past two o'clock this afternoon. The secession troops fled without firing a gun. The 6th regiment of Indiana volunteers, under the command of Col. Crittenden, fully armed and equipped, arrived here at 6 p. M. and passed through the city to the Little Miami Depot, where they took the cars for Camp Dennison, and will encamp there to-night. Their destination is probably Grafton. As the regiment passed up Fourth street they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the immense crowds assembled. Another regiment passed Dayton last night, going east. Chamersbiro, Pa., May 30. Tb secession troops have fallen back two miles from Williamsport, in the direction of Martinsbarg. They have about 500 men and two small swivel guns.
