Tbey have with them an excellent band and
a large drum corps.
Thk Three Moktiis' Troops.
Camp SmAnrr,
Wathington, July 1, 1861.
Mr. Khitori It will silcnu: much inquiry if
the following can be answered, to wit :
Tbo first Rhode Island regiment was mus
tered Into service on tbe 18th of April, and a
detachment of the same started for this city tho
following day; lint the regiment wat not sworn
in till the 2d of May.
One qnery is:, does the time of its tiervice
expire on the 18th Inst., or tho 2d of August?
The other is; if the lime expires on the 2d
of August, is a warrant, of a non-commissioned
ufliierof said regiment, dated April 18tb, 18Q1,
valid, ns the regiment was enlisted for only
three months 7 Vot.CNTKEt.
1. We have explained once before, that by
terms of the President's proclamation, the term
of service of the troops called out for three
months began at tho time they were mustered
into sertico at the rendezvous in the several
Statss from which they come.
2. The length of the term of service, under
the United States has nothing to do with the
validity of the commissions of State troops, and
so of the warrants of non-commissioned officers
issued by cumpanv officers. 'The Rhode Island
regiments now hero are Rhode Island militia,
temporarily In the service of the United States,
and alt commissions and warrants derive their
validity from Stato authority. Of course, being
mustered out of the service of the United States
will have no effect npon a warranted officer,
though perchance his warrant may bear even
date with the muster into the Federal service.
Mrs. Meda Blahcuard's Concert. In re
sponse to the written request of a large num
ber of the most distinguished statesmen and
military men now in our midst, Mrs. Meda
Blanchard, whom many of our readers
will remember as one of the finest singers of
tbe day, has consented to give a concert at
Willards' Hall on Saturday evening next.
Mrs. Blanchard has been absent In Europe for
over two years, during which time she has had
the instruction of the most accomplished mas
ters of the age. These opportunities she has
not failed to improve, ana she returns to her
native city with the highest encomiums as a
singer oi great sweetness and compass, and
ono destined to take a front rank amonc the
most finished singers. It is meet that in her
native city a city which has already produced
so many brilliant singers she should give her
first concert. As an evidence of thn interest
which W felt in tbo forthcoming concert, we
may add, that over fifty tickets have already
been purchased by ministers and secretaries
from European courts. Tbe following is tbe
correspondence 1
Washinhion, D. C, June 11, 1801,
Mr. Meda Blanchard 1
Dear Madam i Learning that vou have Just
finished n successful course of culture of your
eminent musical gifts, under the most eminent
masters of Italy, and that you Are about to
commence what we are sure will be a moit
brilliant professional career, we take this mode
of makintr known to vou that we would esteem
it a great kindness, and a rare privilege, if
you would tavor the residents and strangers
now in Washington by giving your opening
concert in this your native city,
We remain, dear madam, your friends and
servants,
A New Collector and REOWTEa. Mettrt.
HaUiday and Morgan Ousted. Messrs. Dixon
and Douglas, who were respectively, elected to
the offices of Collector aud Register, on the
fourth ultimo, yesterday morning took posses
sion of their respective offices. Yesterday
was the day fixed by law for entering upon
their duties, and fhey having been notified that
their predecessors intended to still continue
their duties, went at daylight to Justice Hoi-lineshead,-took
the oath of office, went to tbetr
omces at 6 o'clock, and took possession. Im
mediately on entering, they called is their re
spective clerks, and made ready for the dis
Datch of business.
Some time during last week, tbe newly elected
officers were notified of thn determination to
contest the election, and knowing that posses
sion is the best of the battle, took this course.
A short time after tbe new officers took their
places, the old officers came in, and were much
astonished to find their opponents all ready for
the transaction of busiuess. They, how
ever, took seats in the room, not being able
to get at the. desks, Thus the great corpora
tion machine has stopped net en account of
ouch cause as inefficiency, but owing to there
being too sets of wheels instead of one. The.
late incumbents say they are willing to abide
the decision of the City Councils, and are
I anxious to refer the matter to them, which.
however, is opposed by ile33rs. uonglas and
Dixon, who are now in. and will only leave
when they are regularly ousted by the Circuit
Court.
The principal grounds of the refusal of the
old officers to quietly vaoate tbe places is
an alleged non-compliance with the law by the
commissioners of election in the sixth ward,
who gave only some four days' notice of the
election, instead of six,
The bonds of both sets of officers have been
received bythe Mayor, bnt as to who are the
right ones, he is in n quandary.
Joseph H. Bradley, sen., Esq., the counsel
for Messrs. Dixon and Douglas, has written a
lengthy argument in favor cf his opinion, that
they are justly entitled to the office, while Mr.
Carlisle, the attorney for the other parties,
proposes to reave the matter to the decision of
the Circuit Court, without argument. The in
cumbents, however, it is said, will not consent
to this, and it is likely that the case will only
be carried to court in tne usual manner.
In the mean time, the officers having pro
cured household furniture for their office, will
take up their abode in tbe City Hall.
A Novel Funeral. A fow dav since, umn
of the members ol the "ancient and honorable
15ean Houii fraternity " attached to one of tho
fin regiments now encamped in the city limits,
by way of giving a hint to the commissary's
department, got up, on an extensive, scale, a
mock funeral. When the hour appointed had
arrived, and " peas upon tho trencher" sounded
for dinnr, a profession waa sren to slowly
emerge from the quarters of a company who
had for a long time uttered complaints against
the quality ami quantity of their "grub," in the
folloninp order: Corpoial'n guard, with brooms
reversed: music, n frying pan; the ofliciiifinp
minister; the t-orpse, a pot of hash and a fried
three year old salt shad.on n bier shrouded with
black cambric, borne by four pall-bearers, and
flanked by u guard of honor ; friends and ac
quaintances of the deceased in deep mourning.
The line of march was taken up for a prominent
spot in the encampment, where the corpse was
to have been interred with appropriate ceremo
nies, bnt before they bad proceeded far on
their route, the crowd became so largo aud
tnmnltnous that the men were ordered back to
their quarters, debarring them from giving the
corpse a Christian burial.
Distressing Accident. In Georgetown,
on Sunday tnormncr. as Mr. Rozzel Wnnd.
ward, a eon of Coroner Woodward, was in an
outhouse on hi" father's premises, a gun was
fired from one of the camps in the vicinity, the
bullet passing through threo thicknesses of
inch plank, and entering his side above tbe
hip, passing nearly through him. Tbe wound
is a severe one, and it is feared may prove
fatal. Mr. W. is a member of the Carrington
Home Guard, now stationed at the Chain
Bridge, and had returned only the day before
on a visit to his father. This accident should
serve as another warning to those who are so
frequently in the habit of using fire-arms in a
careleai manner.

Alar: or Fire. The alarm of fire nbout
nine o'clock on Saturday night was orcasioped
Reported Seizure or the St. Nicholas.
The steamer St. Nicholas, Capt. Eirwan, which
left Baltimore on Friday morning, and was due
here on Saturday afternoon, has not yet arrived,
and fears are seriously entertained that she has
been seized by tbe rebels. The captain of the
Diamond State, which arrived on Saturday
night, reports that he saw the St. Nicholas near
Point Lookout, about one o'clock on Saturday
morning, under full speed, steaming toward
Einsale, opposite. Poiut Lookout, but as her
lights were soon atterwaras pui oni, nne was
Inst alcht of.
It is surmised that a number of secessionists
took passage in the steamer at Baltimore and
at Point Lookout, and took possession of the boat
and ran her into Einsale.
The St. Nicholas was a fine, staunch boat,
which was owned by the Baltimore and Wash
ington Steam Packet Company, and was
freighted with an assorted cargo, principally
for the merchants of this city.
Secession Prisoners Taken near Vienna.
On Bahbath afternoon, as two companies of
the third Connecticut regiment, under com
mand of Captains 8tevens and Elein, respec
lively, were lying In atnbnsb, near Viennai
alopg the railroad, a company of secession
cavalry, belongiug to Col. Radford's Virginia
pnmmand. atiDioached. when the lieutenant
and a guide dismounted, nnd after hurriedly
glancing round as if to see that all was right,
left their horses in charge of two privates, and
then advanced some distance ahead of where
Capt. Stevens aud bis men were concealed,
Capt. Stevens instantly had the iourborsea and
two privates seized, and then started after the
lieutenant and guide, bat unfortunately tbey
escaped through the woods.
The balance of the company, being some dis
tance in tbe tear, fired one volley, and tbeo
,til retrctfed. The men taken were well
clothed, nnd armed with double barrelled shot
guns, Whitney's pistols, and sabres 01 lorcign
fmnnrtntinn. Thev are athletic lookinz meoi
and beer evidence of tbe truthfulness of their
statement of being well fed. They represent
that tbsre arc 3even hundred cavalry at Fairfax
Court house. Tbo horses ore noble-looking and
spirited animals, which render them valuable
prizes. Tbo prisoners were sent to Gen. Mans
field, who has had them placed in the county
jail,
Services were held Inst Sunday morning at
talis ennren, cy tne ttev. -i. til. wuiey, chap
lain of tcethird Connecticut regiment. The
Rev. Mr. narrcld, formerly of Washington,
had, on several occasions, omitted the prayer
for the President of the United States. He is
generally regarded as a red-hot secessionist,
and is now under gjard of three soldiers, who
are stationed around his house. Among tbe
distinguished persons present were Brigadier
General Tyler, Cclonel Bnruham, first Connec
ticut regiment, Chaplain Lancy, of the second
Connecticut regiment, and the Hon. C- H
Upton, of Virginia.
Tight rope Walking. Frofessor Sweet, a
member of the second Rhode Island regiment,
will give a free exhibition, on Thursday after
noon, July 4, of walking a tight-rone, sixty feet
from the ground, and five hundred feet iu length,
near Camp Sprague.
Marriaoe LiCENSrs. During the month of
June, there were fifty-two marriage licenses
issued in this city, an evidence that the Union
spirit ain't dead yet iu Washington, by a long
shot. ,
It is stated by a Boston paper that tbe Gov
ernment will soon is3ue proposals for the manu
facture of four hundred thousand pairs of sawed
shoes, for tbe use ot tbe, army.
