VOL. 2. LETTER FROM C. H. REEVE. Mr. TtATT McDovlu, Sir: In your isue cf May 9th you pulliia cdiioiial headed "Explan atory," in which yo . profess to set out an inter-1 . " ... ,,.. .. new between you ana nmeit. w ui you permit m ;... vn.r rMmv Ma nf tlip lr ...w - - j - - - - . . I did not call upon you "for the purpoe of 'talking' to yon in regard to the position you had taken in ra vor of the Union ticket." I met jou in the street and took you aside to have apiivate talk with you about an article which appeared in your isriie of May 2d, when I was nbeiit, and which my friends advised me was meant forme, audi so toM vou : nd th talk ica3 private. You savin vour" l.tt article that vou reserved vour replv for your paper. We have been good friends, I know. Do you think it fair to make a mental reservation to give reply (to private queries by me as to a matter personal to myself) in your own newspaper, and then talk to the public and not to me? Had you told me so at the time I would have adJr(Ssd you publicly. Had 1 atUcl.cd you public- !;,, your icply would have been well enough; but an editorial to vour reader iu reply to a prienie I talk with you by nie, is at leat quite unusual if it j is fair. 1 You did not deny but that your article of 2d .May j referred to me, and I inferred therefrom that I was rightly informed. I did not a:?k you to take back any insinuations of any kind. I told jou I wished to know if I wa3 he person aimed at; I explained where you was in error, and said if you had got wrong you ought to get right. I did not threaten to use my influence against the Dr.?iocitAT. If you so understood me you misunderstood rr.e. I simply toid you (when you failed to deny that I was the person a "med at) that if you intended to ! be personal I would withdraw my paper, and nnry J other democrat wou'd do the s.i:n -.. I never even j thought of attempting to injure the paper, unless : my refiH.ilt.) Bupnort it while misrepresenting me i would do so. I did not admit to you, or hi my speech at the Cort House that, I hi 1 intended and pronf scd to j vote for Mr. Blun and then didn't do it. 1 never madw any sueh promise. I diil not get up a ticket ir opposition to the Union ticket, but was one of over one huuJrcJ democrats that did do it. So mm h for your assertions and rn'ne. What I said at the Court jouso yoa now know is not what you have said it was. Tue w hole matter is in a nut shell. No one doubted your honesty L'nder an imoulsc vt the rnD.neüt yoa went in for an Union movement and helped to nominate an 1 elect republicans I ollice.

I sj told yoa. You were the editor of the only democratic p iper in the county and consenuently the exponent of t!ie party. The party in Pljmou'h refused to!ecornmittc.l to the suyporl of republicans. This put both you and the p.irtv in a ta'se position. They refused to w'uh you and thus got rir,ht. You still adhere to your ln juonau i thus keep wron in thtir vpiniun. 1 "he shrewd republicans set a trap to catch democrats, and caii'jiit some. You was one of them. The balanc? who refused to have th; "frexfi salt thrown on their tails" sh ra! J lut be person tl'y attacked by the victim i of republican shrewdness; and let it be as it may. the immortal one hu idrt-l and ten who refu.-ed the b.i!t, are certainly as happy as those who took it and were safely hauled bv the republican iisaernicn. Better not aoue your democratic and personal friends, Platt, for you know very well that iu this county, at least, the democratic family have got no members to spare for TwiiifHMl l üi:itors. i ou have ent.relv mis- i understood and misconstrued me. 1 have always u:i' ;i ''' in:,r or Jou I think you have cer tainly ;ot wrong, and it is no disgrace, when ondoes it inioecntly.

Orders have been issued, and have in some cases been already carried into effect, to blockade all the ports of the Southern States ;and military operations are being set on

Harper's Ferry and Norfolk will be taken at what - ! ever cost. In all probability Richmond will be ! attacked also, if troops continue to pour in there from the Confederate States. Troops Continue to pour into this city from New E.; gland, New York nd Pennsylvania. The strength of the army now concentrated here is much greater than is generally supposed. Ellsworth's Zouaves number ekven hundred pie' ed men. Tuey reached the city at 8 p. ra. yes terday. Their reception was a most enthusiastic one, und must have been highly acceptable to j them Their uniform consists of a grey jacket trimmed with blue and rod cord, grey pants ar.d red shirts, red caps with a blue band Thev are armed witli Sharp's breech loading ritles, and each man is provided with a huge bo wie knife so constructed that they can be fastened to the muzzle of their rifles, and use 1 as bayonets. The knjpsacks are made of India rubber cloth, anl are S i arranged that they can be used to protect the whole body from the wet. They expected to have passed through Baltimore au 1 aie mud disappointed in not haviug an opportunity of threshing the Plug Uglies of that city. They are just the boys for a row, and may yet be needed to teach the rowdies of Baltimore a terrible lesson. Tue Rhode Island M trine Artillery numbers one hundred and fifty men an 1 ninety horses, an l their battery con-ists 'f six of James' rided einnon, six . as ious.onc large battery ambulance and a portable forge. They bring with them stores, provisions and horse Iced for a three mantns campaign, all of j which was provided by Gov. Sprgue. They are a splendid corps and will form part of the force ordered to operate in Virginia. Mi Sarah Bisely, 0113 of the daughters of the Rhode Island Rt gnnents, has been married. She is quite pretty, and was dressed iu the Turkish cos- . ... ,".. , , pants of blue, a leltdiat with white plumes, and tin; national colors. The Sixty-ninth (Col.Corcoran's lris!i)reg;nient lias arrived, fourteen hundred strong, anl well equipped. Not more than live of this number voted for Lincoln, but thcay are redy to sf .mil by j the Union. The Seventh anl Twelfth (X. Y. ) regiments have one into ene unnmeut. I he r uth is at Aim Jonotioii, mid will soon inarch for Washington. The IJaltimore Sun cries piteously for pr. ie, but whether from patriotic or aolfish moiives, thaje who h ive read its ind imtn itory secession artie'es of late, and Us apology for the attack on the U. S. troops, must judge. There is no truth in the 5tat?m;nt of the New York papers of the presence of ol),0!J!) D.suuionists at Dumfries, a little village iu Prince Williams county, Va. There are no troops there. The Secessionists of 31 iryl ind seem determined to d.-ag the State oat of the Union. A resolution has been offered tailing I he management of the government out of the hniidsof Gov. Hicks, and giving a committee of six complete control. Ry this bill Maryland is as completely at the mercy of the sccessi m o'.'jjirchy as it would have been had an ordinance of secession been adopted, Ca:t. Meigs his returned from Fort Tick ens. He reports that that post lias been reinforced, pro- ! visioued and strengthened, and on stand a siege of six month No fears need be entertained of the capture or surrender ef th it Fort, as there are three war fcteamcrs to assist in its defense. The Commissioners appointed by the Maryland Legislature, to communicate with the President ia regard to the military occupation ofthat State by the government, are in the city and will have an iiui'.ene with tho President as toon as possible. It is feared that no good can result from the inter view. The confidence expressed lately in the loyalty of the State is fast dying out, acd those best paalilied to judge say that she will certainly follow the example and share the fate of Virginia. Indianapolis, May 1. Tiic Legislature pa?scd a biil to-day authorizing the Governor to call into immediate service for one vear six Regiment? of volunteers for the defense of the State, and an additional appropaiation of .900,0'K) will be made for purehaiiig arms and placing the State 011 a complete war footing . About thirty companies of State rrquiiticn are already here 111 camp, and th;' balance will be here on Tuesday, making 12 Regiments of Federal and State troops. 1'altimore, May 4.
