Lytle, Register, Register's Office, May 9, 1861 Washington City, May 5 Gen. Scott forwarded dispatches to Gen. Butler yesterday, at Annapolis, placing the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment and other troops at his command, and giving him three days to take possession of the Relay House, at the Junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Washington railroads, about nine miles from Baltimore and thirty miles from Washington City. The Sixth Massachusetts Regiment went up the road early this morning. This movement is made to cooperate with the Pennsylvania troops now advancing upon Baltimore from the other side. Baltimore to be Occupied A special dispatch to the New York TRIBUNE says, "It has been decided to approach and occupy Baltimore. The army of occupation will move in four columns, one from Perrysville, one from Harrisburg, one from Annapolis and one from Washington." Of course no opposition is anticipated though no possible successful impediment could be placed in their way. Local and Personal The "Allegheny Guards," Capt. Easly, and the "Washington Rifles," Capt. White, form part of the Tenth Regiment. The alarm of fire on Sunday night was occasioned by the burning of a chimney at the house occupied by James Delowry. Capt. Richard White, of the Hemlock Rifles, has been elected Major of the Tenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. A. M. White was elected Quartermaster of the same regiment. We have hitherto failed to notice that our young friend, Wm. W. Young, his been appointed Agent for the Penna. RR at Cresson in place of James S. Clark, dec.'d. He will fill the post acceptably. Our Military Our military company, the "Cambria Guards," have not yet been accepted. The muster roll of the "Mountaineers," we are informed, is filling up and the requisite complement will soon be obtained.

Piper has arrived here from Cambria County. He has tendered to the General Government, through Gov. Curtin, one regiment of Infantry, now organized in Cambria county, to serve for any period of time that may be designated; and if accepted, he proffers a bonus of $1,000 to the State. Cambria county has four companies accepted. Col. Piper is a gallant solder and his men are all hardy mountaineers." Wilmore, May 6, 1861 - Matters are quiet as usual down here. The war excitement, which raged fiercely in our midst for the past couple of weeks has in a manner abated. The glorious "Stars and Stripes" were hoisted over Esquire Palmer's Hotel on last Wednesday. The ceremony was intensely impressive and was witnessed by a large assemblage of persons. After the banner had been successfully thrown to the breeze, Miss Josephine Palmer (a daughter of Mr. P.) was introduced to the crowd and made a neat and patriotic little speech, in which she counseled her hearers, both old and young, to stand by their county and the country's flag until the last Traitor had bit the dust. Our military company has not yet been ordered into camp.
