Y¥ MUSIC HALL, 585 Broadtay.--Sonas, who was on his way to Washington from the West, toreport himself at headquarters, was arrested yesterday by the Virgina troops on the train from Wheeling to Harper's Ferry, and held as @ prison- er of war. It is very probable, however, that Govervor Letcher will release him, inasmuch as ex-Senator Mason, of Virginia, is now in Philadct- | phia, transacting some private business, in the process of which he has not been molested; but if General Harney is detained in custody, the Phila- delphians might be tempted to make a reprisal in the person of Mr. Mason. The Montgomery Congress mects to-morrow, apd as the proposition of Jefferson Davis with re- gard to establishing a system of privatecring is to be then considered, and the members are by this time satisfied as to the general focling of the entire | North in favor of sustaining the government, the proceedings of the session will be highly in- teresting. There is no sbatement in the warlike ardor which auimates all classes in this city and through” out the Northern States. pouring in rapidly for the serviee of the govera- mhent at Washington. The Comman Council has voted a million and a half of doliars for this purpose, the Board of Supervisors a quarter of million, and private subscriptions to the Amount of $590,000 have already been contributed in this city alonc—mwaking a total of $2,140,000— mot a mere loan, but a free gift to the govern- ment, without Intorest or return of prifelpal. Throughoat the eutire North, up to thia time, not less than millions of dollars have thus been nibuted—a fact which very plainly indicates c strength of feeling in favor of, maintaining the United States government inst its enemies.

The latest reliable reports represent a complete reaction of feeling in Maryland, thus confirraing the news of y t the Union sentiment was taking 6 and x strength. In Baltimore, as well a3 in other parts of the Btate, the Stars and Stripes were Lolsted in various buildings. The message of Governor Hicks to the Legislature, which’has just assemblod at Frede- rick, impresses upon that body the necossity of Maryland remaining neutral as the only hope of safety; but while this sentiment is indicative of a friendly disposition towards the Union, it is mani- ge force cours acqul festly absurd that 2 mere condition of neutrality on the part of any State can be accepted in the pre sent cris The Senate has also issued an address to the people of Maryland, declaring that the Le- gislature will not pass an act of eeccession; but if thoy belicve that the people give thom ay selves thi sent position Delaware tion for the U: proclamation opportunity of de ure desti of Marylond. taken a till more decisive posi- Governor Burton haa issued a ng that as Delaware has no regular militia, or no Militia laws, it caunot be compelled to ee troops under the authority of the general government, but at the same time ho Advives the raising of volunteers, who may, if they choose, tender their services to the government, From Virginia we have intelligence that Genoral Harper, the commander of the Stato troops at Harper’s Ferry, has declarod as the sentiment of Governor Letcher, that Virginia will pormit no in- vasion of Washington from hor poil. Amongst our other dispatchos, we publish the report that the Becretary of War, General Cameron, has asked for an armistice of sixty days from Governor Letchor; but it is unnecessary to say that this statement is ‘On the face of it absurd, The news from Kentucky confirma the pre- vious reports of her intention’ to remain neutral in the contest. The troops which left Louisville to Join the army of the Confederate Htntes, it appears, was not furnished with arms by fhe State, nor had they the sanction of Governor Magoftin for tho proceedings.

Tan Cranactin ov THE Coxisu Cawraton, We have in the Northern cities at least three hundred thousand of the most reckless, desperate men on the face of the earth. The Goths and Vandals who descended upon Rome and eneanguined the Tiber with patrician blood were angels compared to these fellows, who are known by the generic name of “roughs.” Of course they are all in for the war, and tho spoils thereof—more particularly the spoils, They have no stake in this world, no hope for the future, They will fight like demons for present enjoyment, and where one fs killed twenty more will spring up in his place. It is of such rough material that all invincible troops are made, That we are to havea fight, that Virginia and Maryland will form the bat- tle ground, and that the Northern Troughs will sweep those States with fire and sword, is beyond peradventure, They have already been excited to the boiling point by the rich prospect of plunder held out by some of thoir leaders, and will not be satisiied unless they havo a farm and ® nigger each. There fs no cort of ©: about these statements, as the people of the border States will shortly ascor- tain to their cost. The character of the coming campaign will be vindtotive, ferce, bloody and merciless beyond parallel in ancient or modern history, C.oa News from Merylana end Wash- ingten. Good news from Maryland, She recoils, The giant of the North, uprising in his great wrath, is stretching his awful shadow across ber bor: dere, snd Maryland ebrinks back from the dreadful apparition, The slarmed and intig- nant loyal people of thé pormhern seotion of the State are out for the Union; and the recession- ists of the State Legislature, io retreating from Anpapolis to the city of Frederick, have lost the use of their mercenaries—the rufflan mob of Baltimore. The grand schemes of the rebel leaders of the Legislature have suddenly col- lapsed. Instead of a secret soasion, a secret ordinance of rebellion, and the immediate stesl- ing of all government property withia their reach, the Maryland conspirators at Frederick hasten to declare that they do not intend to se- | cede, The thing is not expedient—in fuct, it looks dangerous; but they will appeal to tne people, Governor Hicks, the frightened Gorersor, pleads for neutrality. Maryland hus done vothing to offend either party ia this quat- rel, aud she can be neutral, No, Gover: sor—no neutrality now. If you are not with ws you are against us, Moreover, Maryland hay offended us of the Union’ cause, aud @fiovously, too, in the matter of thas ruffian despotism of Baltimore. Our national high way Uurough Baltimore to Washington hus been denied us by the authorities of Balsimore aad the State, in obedience to the demands of a mob of rebel ruffians, That road must be re- opened to us by Maryland, and she musi put those raffians down, or we stall do it for her, and that right speedily. Sse must also range herself on the side of the United States, or we of the old flag shall consider her a tool and a spy of the Confederate rebel States, and shall treat her accordingly. But the Legislature at Frederick opens well. Those mea are gottiag sober ; they are beginning to think, and Mury- land is saved in being lost to Jeffersoa Davis. Tho Union men of the State will now be heard, and the ruffian rebels of Baltimore will ve dei- ven, like rats, into their holes. Mea of Massa chusetis, that affray in the streots of Baltimore, on the 19th of April, was a greater vic ory for the United States than the batile of New Or- leans. Good news, too, have we from Washington Onr latest private advices from that quarter are very encouraging. They inspire us with confi dence ; they show that the city is safe, and that the government comprehends the mazuitude, the ramifications, the desperate character, the dangers and the salient points, of this whole Southern rebellion, and is accordingly prepar- ing to grapple it with a trong hand. General Scott, who in October last warned the adminisiration of the impendiag ecizure of our Southern forts, arsenals, &c., by secession conspirators, is now, we are assured, minutely informed of their present plans and movements, and is making his arrangements on a grand scale to crush them. Let the rebels succumb or disperse, or before thoy are apprised of their danger they will be encircled by our loyal armies, as in the coils of a boa constric- tor. Our administration will probably, before the end of May, have 150,900 fighting men in the field, and the aggregute by the Fourth of July msy reach the formidable figuye of 250,000, exclusive of the blockading force uf the Southern scabogrd. The land and inland waier operations of these 250,000 men will ex- tend from Maryland to Missouri, and from Mis- souri down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexi- co; and no State will be allowed to hold the equivocal and treacherous position of that sort of neutrality which, while it recognises the Union, co-operates with its enemies. The governmont, of course, for obvious rea- sons, does not disclose ils military plans to the world; but from the movements afoot, from Havre de Grace northwestwardly to the Missis. sippi river, and from various other items of in- formation from intelligent sources, we think the general campaign we have indicated may be safely predicted. We are not less confident of an immediate plan of operations in reference to Maryland and Virginia which will make short and decisive work with the reckless rebels of those unfortunate States. Within the next ten days there will be, we expect, a corps d'armée of fifty thougand loyal men in occnpation of Washington, Baltimore, Annapolis, and the roads, bays and rivers communicating with them from the North and the South. It will be the first duty of this army to lift Maryland out of the slough of rebellion, in answer to her cries for mereoy. Maryland, in hesitating to plunge inte the gulf of rebellion, must be saved. But she must stand by the Union. The good cause admits of no half way allegiance between loy- ally and treason. We consider the campaign sand she must fall back from her attitude of rebellion or take the conseqnences, Our national highways must | be opened down to New Orleans, and Rich- mond comes nextafter Baltimore. “The work goes bravely on.” Men of the North, fall into line.

While republicans are ocoupying themselves with greedy appropris- tion of spoils, and leaders of the dominant party are serambling for consulships, missions, and stnall and great places, slices from the loaf of patronage, democrats are girding on their swords, shouldering muskets, and displaying 9 disinterested zeal to sacrifice themselyos for the benefit of the nation. Instead ef lamenting over past dofenta, they derive from thom new courage, and are inspired with redoubled de- termination to do or die in behalf of the banner which they have thrown forth to the breeze, This Is characteristic of the democracy of the United States, and bas especially been #0 of Tammany Hall.

This is a totwlly wistaken idea Nowhere in the Uaion woul those rights be more sacred than here, if southern mea will continue good and quiet c)- dzens, and take no part, secretly or otherwise mm fuvor of the revolutionists of the South ‘Their persons aud property will be respected, avd they will be exempt from the perils of war, tor the confliet will never reach New York, nor unywhere north of the Susquehanna, while i: will rage all over the rebellious States, Hence it is that many Southora men are vending thelr Geposits and valuables here for vafe keeping, and many are migrating north ward with tpeic families, to escape from the carnage, the Gevastetion, plunder and confa sion which will be inevitable south of the Po romac. Southern property owners, therefore. is Now York, or Southern men engaged in bo sipess here, will be ovly consulting their owe interes's, and playing the part of pradence, by remaining whore they are. Law and order will be maintained at all ha zards and under all circumstances, and we will show Southern mobs that we know how to conduct ourselves as peaceable and orderly citizens, and to defend and uphold the legal and constitutional rights of all American citizens, whatever may be the complexion of their po- litical opinions. No reign of terror will ever be permitted in the great imperiul metropolis of the Union, and all will find more security and protection under the Stars aud Stripes than under the secession flag. Dorsz.sn Susscrivrioys,—The time has come for small subscription lists to be opened, for the benefit of the regiments that are being or- ganized in this ity, and of the families they leave behind them. Our merchants and capi- talista have given their hundreds, thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars, for the cause of the Union ; but there are a vast aum- ber of citizens, mechanics, clerks and others who are anxious to contribute within their means, but are unable to put their names dows for any considerable sum. A dollar subscrip- tion list will be opened this day, in the Heraty office, through which all are invged to give who are disposed. The amount received will be daily acknowledged and accounted for to the finance committee appointed at the late Union square meeting. It should be remembered that, at the time of the Crimean war, small sabscription lists were opened in England, for the benefit of those who were not rich enough to give large amounts, The aggregate yielded was @ very large sum, and it is probable that the total which will be subscribed, in like manner, here, will nearly double the proceeds as yet received, Ton Toxatrn iy War Tite—We have noticed that during the prevailing war ox- citement tho theatres and other places of public amusement are quite deserted. The Opera singers have become mute, concerts have been indefinitely postponed, and two of the principal Broadway theatres—Niblo's and Wallack’s—will clore their seasons this week. One of the managers, Mr. Fox, of the Bowery, has already gone off to the wars, and several privates in the Thespian ranks have followed his example. During the war of 1812, and the brush with Mexico, the player folk were always patriotic, some enlisting in the regular line, and others, forming themselves into small companies, hovered in the rear of the army, acting or fighting, as occasion seemed to demand. Undoubtedly the dramatic pro- fession is one which inspires noble sentiments and stimulates public virtue, and this must naturally be the case with the performers as well as the public. We have no doubt, then, that our Thespians, finding their immediate oc- cupation gone for the present, will be glad to take parts in the drama of real life now being enacted hereabouts, and will, therefore, be off to the wars without unnecessary delay, Desratcnes rrom WasutNcton —Nearly every steamer that arrives from the Potomac, brings with it some half dozen bearers of despatches, to different points of the North. There is no doubt that the greatest activity prevails at the War Department, and that the most vigorous and cnorgetic preparations are being made, by the gallant hero who commands our armies, to carry on the war effectually against the rebels and traitors of the South. Before the lapse of many days, we may look for military move- ments, under the direction of General Scott, which will carry terror into the hearts of seces- sionista at the South, and prove to the people of the North, that the armies they are levying are under the control of a sagacious, far- sighted and prudent man, who deserves to be considered the first general of his age, News from Cuba, ARRIVAL OF THE MATANZ.AS. ‘The steamship Matanzas, Captain Liessegang, from Matanvas, arrrived at thie port at an carly hour yesterday morning, after a remarkably short passage of only four day? and ning hours.
