UEOI'.IIE SI W EC TON, l.'illlor NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Tuesday, May 28, 186L 5Qy There will be a reception at the Execu tive Mansion od Tuesday evening, tlie 28th in stant, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock. Jgy See on outside telegraphic news, and a description of the state of affairs in Arkansas and Tennessee. 6 The Stenben regiment embarked at New York for Fort Monree on Friday evening, and was to leave the harbor the next morning. The vote of the troops at Harper's Fur ry, is reported at 4,200 for secession and 100 against it. t- At Berkeley Springs precinct in Beikc ley county, which is in the Harper's Ferry Congressional district, Edward Pendleton re ceived 101 votes, as Representative to Congress. Tbe Union men made him their candidate, rice John Janney declined. y We learn that C. H. Upton, Esq., re ceived ten votes at Ball's Cross Roads, Alex andria county, and Georgo W. Brent, Esq., one. The polls at this precinct were regularly opened for member of Congress by the commissioners of elections, notwithstanding dire threats by gentlemen with swords and pistols, from Alex andria. From preein ts in Fairfax county, as far as heard from, Mr. Upton has some sixty votes, given under protest. Princo William has not been heard from, and it will be some trine, in the present disturbed state of the country, before other returns will be had. SSTThe first regiment National Guard, Col. Allen, eight hundred men, left New York, for Fortress Monroe, on Sunday. Lieut. Col. Tyler, of ono of the Con necticut regiments here, has been appointed brigadier general. He belonged, formerly, to the regular army. OSy- It was reported at Cairo on the 'Hi in stant, that Captain Rogers, U. S. N., who was then there, was arranging river transportation for an attack upon Cairo. This shows, at any rate, what the Illinois soldiers were thinking about. The Illinois papers say that Memphis, which is high and dry, is a much better sum mering place, than Cairo. I-The contract for supplying stationery to the United States Senate, fur the ensuing fiscal year, has been awarded to Philp Solomons and Blanchard Mohun, of this city, and Isaac Ames, of New York. J6y The statement that two New Yoik Zou aves were to be bhot yesterday morning by or der of a court martial, was made to one of the proprietors of this paper, by an army officer. It proves to be incorrect. JS5 The War Department is much annoyed by irresponsible persons attempting to draw requisitions for various things, and incur ex penses, on account of the Government, under the pretence of patriotic aid in bringing a suf ficient force into active service ; and the Sec retary is daily obliged to answer telegraphic in quiries in regard to the authority of such indi viduals. It may be well that the public should understand that the Department has no agents other than those who arc at all times able to satisfy inquiry, either by the commissions they hold in the army, or the written authority of the Department. The Baltimore Amen an says of the telegraphic dispatches, in that city, seized by the Government : " It is said they embrace a large number of dispatches in connection with tbe three days revolution of April in this city, involving par ties in the previous knowledge and complicity with the attack on the Massachusetts troops. They are all in the possession of the Govern ment, and undergoing a thorough examination." tSjyTbe Baltimore American of yesterday, says: " A regiment of United States troops arrived here last evening by the Northern Central rail road, and passing along the outskirts ot the city, took the Frederick road. They were fol lowed by a number of vehicles carrying camp equipage and stores, giving indications of an intention to camp somewhere in the vicinity of the city. Our last report left them beyond Gwynn s Falls bridge, moving in the direction of Cutonsville." fQy-The Chicago Tribune of Saturday, says: " During tho foreuoon of yesterday, Senator Douglas's physicians well nigh despaired of his life. So alarming indeed were his symptoms, that a report gained considerable circulation and credence, that be had breathed his last. About noon, however, he rallied, and contined to improve in a hardly perceptible degree, un til a lato hour last night. His situation is still critical." Hiki'Lr's Fekiiy. The correspondent of the Alexandria Sentinel, under date of 'J 1st inst , writes : "The whole number of troops from other Stales iio.v here are, Irom Mississippi about 1,900; from Alabama, 1,200; Irom Kentucky, 600; and from Maryland, :S0O." This is 1,000 more than the estimate of the scouts from Cbambersburg. Tbe vote of the Virginia troops is repotted at 4,1100, which may be Ul.cn ns un indicution of their number.

A leliad i Id i lit i limit, who Inl.ei his ' it oil' mid gres into u croud I'm u ttjlit, tl.Mi.s away sill immunities, of ago and dignity. It then becomes a riucsliuii of musili, and ruflk-.", interns, mid knee-buckles, go for nothing. Eustern Virginia committed precisely this folly, when the plunged into tho fight of Mr. Yancey and others. As the mother of States and statesmen, she was rich m antecedents, and pre eminently respectable. If she was as weak as she was respectable, that ft as something which a tiatural self complacency concealed from her self, and with which the v.orld was restrained from taunting her, by a decorous respect for past greatness. The firt place still belonged to her, upon nil occasions of parade, down to that last assemblage of emineut gravities, the Peace Congress of last winter. But the tenure by which Eastern Virginia enjoyed all this importance, was that of keep ing the peace. War vvas suie to betray her weakness. But this, obvious to all bystanders, was not obvious to Eastern Virginia, or was lost sight of in the exultations attending the capture of Fort Sumter. Thai, excitement turned her ancient head, and nothing would answer but taking a purt in the light. And that part is precisely what should have been anticipated, the part of being knocked down. As a mediator, and as a propounder of bases of adjustment, Eastern Virginia was in her na tive element of oral and written eloquence, but in a war, the is a fish out of water, cast high upon the dry land. As a border State, she was a dignified neutral, but secession tnide her a helpless mark for hard blows. Without money and credit, with no varied industry, and with a meagre population, she only went out of the Union to fiod herself blockaded and menaced with invasion, and with her well kept secret be trayed, that she could bring nothing to the Southern Confederacy, but a territory t be de feuded. " Alas I Pour Yorick ! " NOT EXPECTED. An old and intelligent resident of Fairfax county, living some ten miles from this city, informs us that tho'occupation of Virgiuia by United States tioops, was wholly unexpected by the secessionists. The more iguoiuut and numerous portion of them, religiously believed that one Virginiau was a match for twenty Yankees, and that a wholesome dread of anni hilation would keep the United States troops on this side of the Potomac. Their better-informed men, while not entertaining such ex travagant notions as these, still hud a vague confidence in the sanctity of Virginia soil, nd expected to the last, that tbe pending difficul ties would be settled by a compromise and a peaceable separation. The actual march of the nationul regiments into Virgiuia, came upon this secession popu lation like a clap of thunder. Many are flying, of whom a large portion are probably conscious of having committed outrages upon Union neighbors, likely to be remembered and pun ished. Those who do not fly, are thoroughly cowed, and the common remark among them is, that it is useless to contend with the United States. If such un entire incredulity as to the pur pose of the Government to assert its authority in Virginia, p.cvailed among the secessionists of Fairfax county, so near to this capital and so accessible to information, it is not doubtful that the same incredulity was even more posi tive and assured iu other parts of the State. All accounts received here, of the manner in which the question of ratifying the secession ordinance wns discussed before the people, point in tho same direction. The argument in fuvor of rutifying it decisively, wa, that an in vasion would be invited by a vote indicating a serious division, and that unless there was a manifestation of such serious division, an inva sion would be averted. Down to the march of Thursday uight across the Long Bridge, the people of Virginia were laboring under a total delusion as to the pur poses of tbe Government, and of the nation. How they will conduct, now that that delusion is dispelled, remains to be seen. THE ALARMISTS. We invite attention to au article copied into this paper from the Chicago Tribune of last Friday, embodying the information given by a person arriving in Chicago on Wednesday from Arkansas and Tennessee. This information is reliable in its source, and conforms both to the intrinsic probabilities, and to all. veracious ac counts. Memphis, instead of swarming with troops assembled to attack Cairo, is trembling with apprehens'ou lest it may be attacked itself, and has no menus of repelling any attack at all formidable. The vast armies in the lower Southern States, which figure in telegraphic dispatches, generally turn out, upon examination, to be quite moderate collections of whisky-drinking savages, poorly armed and worse provisioned. And this observation applies as well to these armies moving upon railroads, as to those sta tioned at particular points. We have already had occasion to notice that a force parsing through Knoxville, and tele graphed ull over the country as amounting to three thousand men, did not actually exceed two hundred and fifty. At another timu, a mere squal of Louisiana loufers, who had not the courage and numbers to attack Parson Hrownlow's homo in Knox ville, defended by only threo men, win enlarged by telc-iauis into a magnified) nt battalion.

I am iu cliued to the opinion that our entrance to the city of Alexandria will be hotly contested, ns I am just informed a large force have arrived there to day. Should this happen, my dear parents, it may be my lot to be injured in some manner. Whatever tnuy happen, cherish the consolation that I was engaged in the perform mice of a sacred duty, and tonight, thinking over the probabilities of the morrow and the occurrences of the past, I am perfectly content to accept whatever my fortune may be, confi dent tlmt He who noteth even tbe full of a spirrow, will have some purpose even in the fate of ono like me. My darling and ever loved parent, good by, God bless, protect, mid care for you. Elmer. Al.tXAXtiHIi. A correspondent of the New York 7'iitiiM, who spent Saturday in Alexan dria, furnishes the following items : THE RAlI.nOAD CAPTURE. After dinner, we visited the railroad station, where the Zouaves have their headquarters. We found tcuty or thirty freight cars, and trucks, and two broken down engines. I learn ed that the Zouavc3 found iu the cars 2,000 kegs of gunpowder, 200 barrels beef, $1,500 in doubloons, two cases of Colt's revolvers, a box of double-barreled fowling pieces, several supe rior Muynard's and Colt's rifles, preserved meats and clothing, Ac. Thu safe iu which the doub loons were tound was opened after two hours' exertion. THE SLAVE UARRlCrOX CAPTURE OK CAVALRY. The next point ot interest was the magazine of Price, Birch, Co , dealers iu slaves, as large letters over the door informed tho public. At this corner, the squadron of cavalry men tioned yesterday was captured by the Michigan regiment and Sherman's battery. Tbeir quar ters for horses and men were in the slave pen. The Michigan regiment had received orders to fire, when Shermau's battery whirled up befure them, and brought the cavalry within easy range. The slave cavalry then threw out a white flag and surrendered. Only one escaped. Entering the slave pen, we found grinning be hind a grate, a swarthy F. F. V., nrmed with a knife. He deprecatingly assured us that bo had kept the knife to protect his wife and chil dren. Wo learned that arms had been found secreted in his house, and he resisted a search with this knife. The pen which he ornament ed is about fifty feet square, open above, and surrounded by walls twenty feet high, with brick flooring, and dungeons underneath. A DAKkEY CAPTURED. In the back yard we found a happy African, surrounded by Zouaves and Michiganders. When tho building was seizedVhe was tLe sole occupant of the slave-pen. He was liberated by the Zouaves, who picked the lock, and has been adopted by the Michiganders as their cook. He likes cooking, but says he must have n mu9Vet if fighting is to be doue. He was raised in Prince George's county, Mary land, and is consigned for silo in Virginia on account of the owner's fear that the property would be unsafe in Maryland. He thoroughly appreciates this unexpected chaugo of ma.ters. IMPRISONED SI.IVLS TO BE TREED. The Zouaves are apparently determined to free ull slaves they find in coutincineut. They broke into another pen, by knocking a hole a loot square in a brick wall, hut lounu nothing. Thirty slaves hud been carried oil" shortly be fore, and embarked from a point in tho vvoeds.

Ihreo luL'itivo slaves, the property ot uolonel Mallory, commander ot the rebel lorccs near Hampton, were brought in by the picket guuid yesterday. They represcut that they were ubout to be sent South, and hence sought protection. Shortly after, Major Carv came in with a Hag ol truce, and claimed their rendition under tho fugitive, slave law, but was informed by General Butler that, under tho peculiar circumstances, he considered the fugitives contraband of war, and had set them to work inside the fortress. Colonel Mullory was also politely informed that so soon as he shoul I visit the fortress and tube u solemn oath to obey the laws of the United States, his property would bo promptly restored under tbe fugitive slave law. Another party came in this morning, under a Uug of truce, fur the fugitives, but met with no better success.
