nt Buchanan and suite, en route from Bedford Springs to Wheatland, passed through Harrisburg on Saturday last. After Mr. Buchanan had changed cars, and a few minutes before the train started, a crowd was collected in front of the car be occupied. Just then a soldier, who had lost an arm, began to shake the stump in the face of the O. P. F., exclaiming, "I am indebted to you for this!" (pointing to the maimed arm,) "and the devil will liquidate the debt when he gets you!" At this point the whistle of the locomotive screamed the signal of departure, and Buchanan was soon lost in the distance with the train. Gen. Boyle has issued an order for the impressment of 6,000 negro laborers from the frontier counties in Kentucky, for the purpose of building the great military road-through that State to East Tennessee.

mmary of its correspondence from Charleston, dated the 18th inst., is as follows: The attack on Fort Sumter was commenced at daylight Monday morning by Gen. Gillmore's land batteries. Shortly afterwards the navy joined in the attack. Admiral Dahlgren went on board the monitor Weehawken, and the entire ironclad fleet, with seven wooden gunboats, furiously attacked Forts Wagner and Gregg, silencing both those works, and enabling the shore batteries to play uninterrupted on Fort Sumter. At 10 o'clock Admiral Dahlgren led the monitors Passaic and Patacas to within 1,400 yards of Sumter, and brought the Parrott rifle guns of those vessels to bear on the sea wall of the fort with marked effect. While this was going on, Fleet-Captain Geo. W. Rogers took the monitor Catskill, which he formerly commanded, up to within one hundred and fifty yards of the beach in front of Fort Wagner. She did good service there, but finally a ball from Wagner drove in a piece of the interior l

rence, Kansas, by Quantrell's guerillas. It says: The list of killed and wounded as far as ascertained is some 180, the majority of whom were killed instantly, most of them in their own houses, with their wives and children clinging to them, while the murderers planted pistols at their breasts and shot them down. Among the most prominent citizens known to be killed are Gen. G. W. Calmer, Mayor of the city, and his son, J. G. Low; Dr Griswold, Col. Stone and his two brothers, Judge Carpenter, Rev. Mr. Snyder, Lemuel Fillmore, and Dwight Coleman. Twenty-five negro recruits were shot dead. The guerillas took all the money that could be found in the pockets or houses of the citizens.

No resistance was made to the guerillas. The people were shot down as they ran through the street

While this was going on, Fleet-Captain Geo. W. Rogers took the monitor Catskill, which he formerly commanded, up to within one hundred and fifty yards of the beach in front of Fort Wagner. She did good service there, but finally a ball from Wagner drove in a piece of the interior lining, which struck Capt. Rogers on the head, killing him instantly. Paymaster Woodbury, who was standing by his side, was also killed by the flying fragment. These were the only persons killed on our side during the six hours bombardment. The effect of the first day's fire from Gen. Gillmore's batteries on Sumter was very damaging. A false wall, which the rebels had erected to protect the gorge wall, which is exposed to the fire from the land batteries, was completely demolished, while the ol

The enemy replied ineffectually, whilst our fire disabled every battery they opened.--Their works all along the river are very strong. One of their steamboats was destroyed and another disabled. An attempt to destroy their pontoon boats moored on their side of the river was prevented by their sharpshooters. We, however, captured forty prisoners, a train of wagons, and a number of mules.
