Another Prize Taken. Richmond, Va., Jane s. —Gov* Letcher his issued a proclamation re quiring all volunteers >not mustered fihtoservice to report themselves imme diately. Orders have been issued to the militia to hold themselves in read iness for immediate service, and to use whatever arms they can obtain th, maintain the liberty, independence and integrity of Virginia.- ' * The Fredericksburg TLtrald reports that the U. S. steamer 'Pawnee was considerably injured at the fight at Acquia Creek. She was struck six or seven times. A minister also reports the death of 28 persons during the fight. Five vessels were engaged in the conflict. The Charleston Mercury of this morning says the privateer pilot boat Savannah, captured near Georgetown, a Portland brig, loaded with sugar and molasses. The priae, which is valued at §40,000, was carried to Georgetown. Washington, June s. —Parties rep resenting the bogus Kentucky Volun teers at Camp Clay, have been to Washington to obtain arms and ac coutrements. Gen. Scott said, Gen. McClellen would be instructed to sup ply the Brigade, and to issue orders for Guthrie to report to Col. Ander son at Louisville, immediately. On the suggestion .being made that this would test the potency of Gen. Ma goffin’s proclamation, Gen Scott in formed the volunteers that they would be sustained, as the government could send them 20,000 men in three days. G. A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, or F. P. Blair of Missouri, is thought will be speaker of the House of Rep resentatives. Trustworthy information indicates' that the Confederate troops intend to make an attack on the Washington side of the Potomac, crossing above Arlington heights and Alexandria. A movement on Fairfax was made last night by the Lincolnites. No particulars have been received for ob vious reasons. No renewal of the attack on Aquia Creek has yet been made. Gen. Scott is confident he can take the place when he gets' ready to do so. , Mean time the Ppwnee cruises in the vicinity, preventing the erection of any more fortifications. It is stated here on high authority that no formal movement of the Lin colnites will be made for a few days. Careful inspection shows that the projectiles used by the Confederate forces at.Aquia Creek were of a naval character. The cannon were evident-, ly European, but how or when they were obtained, is a question which the iLincolnites find themselves unable to Unswer. The clerks in the Treasury Depart ment who recently refused to take the oath of allegiance, are still re tained. A theological student from Rich mond reports that there are 100,000 troops in Virginia, 20,000 of whom are at Harper’s Ferry. It is thought that the student has been sent to de ceive the Government relative to Southern strength. The gossip of Washington is that Gen. Scott disapproves of landing -forces at Aquia Creek. Also that all dispatches announcing that hostilities would soon occur at Aquia Creek or Manassas arc incorrect. Several members of the Maryland Legislature have recently visited Rich mond, doubtless for the purpose of conferring with the Confederate au thorities. New York, June s. —Lieut. Col. Farnham has been appointed to the command of the New York Fire Zouaves, to succeed Col. Ellsworth. From "Washington. Washington, June 6.—John T. Sanders will be appointed Lieutenant Colonel, 2d in command under Col. Anderson. The Evansville, Indiana, Eleventh Regiment has been ordered to Cum berland, Maryland. The Washington Star says it has certain information, that Gen. Beaure gard is at Manassas with 20,000 troops. A person from Richmond has in formed the Washington gossips that the Confederate troops march at night without music. Jackson’s brothers are supposed to be the persons who are picking off the Lincoln pickets. They are said to have fifteen or twenty men finely mounted. A large -amount of rolling stock has arrived at Washington to be used in trasporting munitions of war Manas sasward. Banks is to lead the coast column, acting with Butler. The arrange ment is strongly opposed by all but Lincoln. The opposition to the move ment is headed by Gen. Scott. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Bridge across Sleepy Creek has been burned. Skirmish Near Norfolk- Augusta, June 6. —Gen. Pickens has furnished the Charleston Mercury with dispatches received yesterday from Norfolk announcing that while a detachment of Confederate troops were throwing up a battery near Nor folk, .the U. S. Steamer Harriet Lane opened fire on them. The detach ment returned the fire, so did the bat tery, and the Harriet Lane hastily withdrew to prevent immersion. St. Louis, Mo., June 6.—Mayor Taylor has resigned.. Eighty men from Hannibal, forming wart of the Homo Guard, were sworn into the Uuited,States service, armed, and re turned with ai-rqs for their .comrades, who will be sworn in by Major .Leav enworth. .* Twelve volunteers, i %nnjCamp Lin coln, armed with Minie rifles and re volvers, crossed the river fourteen miles above the camp and demanded the secession flag in the name of the United States. The flag was hauled down, but on their return, the seces sionists fired on the volunteers, wound ing three, one severely. Wasaington, June 6.—Six Dahl gren bronze 12 pounders have been fished up at the Gosport Navy Yard. Eight tons of gun powder have* been taken from the Merriman. Tito Ger mantown will be in a sea goinal|pndi tion in two weeks. Baltimore, June 6. —The Bshk Gen. Greene, armed, from has been captured. ?' , > Merrill & Thomas’s gUn factory has been seized. Washington, June 7. —It is be lieved that Lord Lyon’s dispatches arc unfavorable to the Lincoln despot ism. The Cabinet is in session every day on Foreign Affairs, which fact, it is believed, is ominous of trouble to themselves. ■ New York, June quanV tities of letters destined for the South have stopped here. 'i Seward remarked this morning that he expected to hear of sharp work at Harper’s Ferry. • . Washington, Jutje 7. —The best informed men here .consider a brush with England inevitable, as soon as she wants cotton. The dispatches that.wefe sent to the North to the effect that France would take sides with the Nortlr, fearing the crippling of England’s only marine rival, are baseless. There is nothing in the Gov ernment dispatches or letters or news papers sustaining such a supposition. A letter from western Missouri to the N. Y. says for »pne Union flag flying, in the face of law a dozen of the hateful emblems of treason. * i 'fife, Cham bersburg| June 7.—Alb pub licationfcrelative tot he proposed move ment of the army have’' been strictly forbidden. S' ■ Cairo* June 7*ne Pr&ntfss, learning that tlie seiS&sWhists had a camp at Elliot’s Mills, Ky., has sent two. companies.there. Cob Wvqkljfft remonstrated against this invasion. Prentiss replied, “mv determination is to send troops in and upongjtty soil where- the'government requiPwm..”-- Q* Washington, Jbne 7. —A scoutiftg party fro nr Harper's: Ferry seized thirteen locomotives at Williamsport, which they switched on to the Win chester road. • The batteries arc being withdrawn from the Maryland side, and the retreating route towards Win chester strongly fortified. - Among the dispatches lately seized by the government authorities is one from Mr. Harvey, Lincoln’s Minister to Portugal, advising South Carolina of the Government intention to rein force Fort Sumter. Ilarvey is a South Carolinian by birth, but has long been a resident of tlie North. He will be recalled. The secessionists are strong and growing in Frederick, Maryland. The unionists there are quaking with ap prehension of an advance from the Point of Rocks, three miles distant. The feeling of the Marylanders is in dicated by a fact, that at all hazards they will continue to furnish food to the Confederate troops at Harper’s Ferry and the Point of Rocks. The concentration of artillery- at Harper’s Ferry indicates a retreat or an advance via the Point of Rocks. The Lincoln Cabinet are discussing the amount of money to demand on the meeting of Congress. It is prob able that at’least one hundred and fif ty millions of dollars will be demand ed. It is rumored that Aquia Creek has been reinforced by three thousand Confederate troops. Louisville, June 7. Thft mer chants here request that ConfAuriK Post Masters do not cancel UgSnrpst age Stamps as they are notipcknowl edged on reaching the JL jj|| Domin ions when cancelled South^| Fortress Moni AEjJuh'eT.—Some important military njSfvements are on foot here. Washington, June 7. —The George town pickets were fired upon last night. It is understood that the Lincoln Gov ernment will make no further requisi tion for troops at present. Senators and Members of the House of Repre sentatives are ariying daily. Several companies of regulars have departed £or Chambersburg, to assist in the movement on Harper’s Ferry. It is understood thatfhe line are rapid ly closing on that point. The 71ts Regiment are scouting in the southern part of Maryland to pre vent supplies from going forward. Norfolk, June 7.—Thei typhoid fever is spreading rapidly at Fortress Monroe. TII E GEORGIA WEE KL Y , The Northern Programme. The newspapers of the North have —in their own estimation —nearly completed the subjugation of the South. They are now devising plans to punish the “ rebels ” for their con tumacy. The New York Courier and Enquirer hits upon the following method of disposing of the trouble some question : “ The ringleaders of the rebellion must be tried for high treason, convic ted and punished with death, if not commuted to other penalties. • “ All those ivho voluntarily) have borne arms against the United States should be sent to penal colonies in the far off West and Northwest , or be held to labor irrkuilding the Pacific Railroad, and Be deprived, for a certain time, W the right to vote and to carry aims. The grants of lands which otoPwolunteers after the war can justljsßlaiin, should be taken up within thefiHfeits of the Southern The large cities of the South should be, garrisoned by negro regiments , to be furnished and paid bg the South herself and the laws of tlie United States for the protection of. free speech, a free press, and the right of assembling sbouhlbe enforced - everywhere. Secession prisoners of tear, even now, should not, as has bedrt done in St. Louis , be discharged on their parole of honor , which ,of course , they will not keep, but hired out for a small consideration to Wes tern farmers, so as to make up for tkc farmhands• engaged in the war, and to cover part of the runnvhg expen ses, sc.” It is a pity to spoil such a.n agree able programme, but it is possible, the “ ringleaders ” may not be caught, in which case banging them will be a diffi cult operation ; besides, a large num ber of the people of the South liafe “ voluntarily borne arms against the United States,” and if our Northern enemies do not look well to their own safety, instead of sending Southern men to penal colonies, they themselves may be sent to that “ bourne from whence no traveller returns.” — Mont gomery Advertiser.
