The Progress of the Struggle.
As matters stand at present, the capital
of our country is a frontier post upon what
is virtually a hostile country. Nothing but
the Potomac separates it from a strong
hold of the Secessionists, and within sight of
the capital men are daily driven from their
homes, and subjected to cruel outrages and
indignities, for no other offence than being
loyal to the laws and Constitution of their
country. - Unless an armed force is sent for
ward, to protect the Union men of that district ;
they cannot in safety either vote against the
Virginia Ordinance of Secession or for a
member of Congress to represent their inte
rests at Washington. The Disunionists of the
Old Dominion are as cruel and ferocious as
they are desperate and treasonable, and they
are now preparing to administer a test oath of
allegiance to their State Gevernmmt and
those who control it at Montgomery, and to
punish as traitors all who will not bow the
knee to Baal at their command.
To guard against surprise, scouts of our
army are constantly traversing the country on
the opposite shore, and it is no unusual thing
for them to see the 4icket guard of a hostile
camp. Although no great force of traitors
may now be concentrated in that immediate
vicinity. yet it is well known that for weeks
past the Secessionists have been concentrating
the chief portion of their army in Virginia,
and it would be in their power at any time, at
a few days' notice, to gather many thousands
of soldiers immediately opposite the capital.
We do not refer to these facts from any fear
of the ability of our Government to cope with
its antagonists, but because of the anomalous
position of affairs it presents. If in any other
nation a traitorous army of great strength
was within two days' march of its seat of
Government, we should be very apt to
conclude that it was in a tottering con
dition, but the peculiar character of our
present contest, and the sectional nature of
the rebellion, renders the fact that Washing
ton has been threatened much less significant
than hostile demonstrations against the capi
tal of any other country. It we hold it
against all onr antagonists, as we doubtless
will, that circumstance will in itself be an
overwhelming proof of the strength of the
loyal portion of the American people, and the
comparative weakness of our enemies ; for
while it is one of the most difficult points for
us to maintain; surrounded as it is by a hos
tile populatiori, it is one of the easiest for the
traitors to assail. Their failure to capture it,
after all their loud boasts, their secret prepa
ration!, the unexpected outbreak in Balti
more, the interruption of communications
with the North, and the difficulty with
which Northern troops approach it, while the
communications with the whole South are
so freely kept open, is a virtual confes
sion of their weakness. And, after all, the
Rebels are weak, very weak, in contrast with
the loyal men of our country, and nothing
but profound ignorance and senseless excite
ment could have induced them to provoke a
contest with us. Their inhabitants are dis
tributed over an immense surface of land,
and the average density of the white popula
tion, per square mile, in the wildest and most
uninhabitable districts of Pennsylvania, is
fully equal to that of the whole South. It is
not strange that, to make a formidable dis
play of military strength, they have been
compelled to force into their service men
from sixteen to sixty years of age, for in no
other way could they obtain the large armies
which are necessary to make even a show of
resistance to such forces as we can bring into
the field, and to overcome their servile popu
lation.
After all their loud boasts of wealth, they
are, in reality, as a people, poor—very poor.
Their chief resources consist of the land which
they rapidly impoverish by their destructive
system of cultivation—the labor of their
enegroes, who, in times of war, will become,
in many cases, rather an incumbrance and a
source of anxiety and danger than of wealth—
and of the money, goods, &c., they have ob
tained on credit from the bankers, merchants,
and manufacturers of the North. They are
constantly heavily in debt, said almost every
sign of business vitality and advancement
among them , . has been obtained, directly or
indirectly, th rough the aid of Northern capital.
Whatever may be the result of an occasional
skirmish, or a few unimportant battles, there
can be but one issue to a straggle in which the
relative strength of the combatants is such as
now exists between the patriots and traitors of
this country. While we do not wish the war
to be unnecessarily protracted, we should not
become impatient if all the points we desire
to have captured are not taken at once. We
can afford to wait, and to fully prepare our
selves for all contingencies, much better than
our antagonists. Whenever and wherever we
make an &liveliest step, we can, by timely pre
cautions, render its success absolutely certain,
and it is far better to do so than to rashly en
counter unnecessary risks. With an abun
dance of food, we still find great difficulty in
properly organizing the commissariat of our
army, and the troubles of our adversaries,
among whom supplies are very deficient, to
prevent starvation, must be very great. We
are rapidly hemming in the Rebels by sea and
/and, and not only preparing to defend every
important point, but to march forward against
them, and the American people may rely with
perfect confidence ppm the energy and saga
city of these to whom the direction of our
military operations has been entrusted.

Garibaldi and Cavonr.
The reconciliation of Gi.smaran and CAVOUR,
the particulars of which have just arrived, is
one of the most gratifying of recent foreign
events. These two men are among the fore
most of the age. If, on one hand, ()Aver%
has raised Vzerou. Exuantraz into a leading
Sovereign, each as he who governs Italy must
be considered, GAineennr, on the other, ma
terially aided, first by his successful gallantry
in the War of 1859, and, later still, by that
astonishing expedition which, in so short a
time and with apparently such inadequate
means, annexed the Two Sicilies to the King
dom of Sardinia. The friends of good govern
ment throughout the world have lamented that
there should be a difference, approaching even
to personal antipathy, between GARIBALDI, the
man of action and impulse, and Ca.voua, the
man of thought and policy. Vicron Daum=
himself has reconciled these two—subjects of
whom any monarch might well be proud.
GAVOIIR'S feeling was that, with all his
bravery, GARIBALDI wanted discretion—that
he had an overwhelming tendency to dash
into an affair, at once, without waiting to con
sider the consequences, and that he, more
especially, desired to attack Austrian rule in
Venetia, forgefful z or,ignorant of the fact that
his doing so would probably provoke Austria to
open hostilities in Lombardy, which might
peril the permanency of VICTOR EMMANUEL'S
rule in Italy. The cycle of events, in Ga
voua's opinion, will so bring round matters
that, by-and-bye, Venetia will quietly become
part of the newly established Italian kingdom.
Why, then, he argued, should blood and trea
sure be expended on forcibly obtaining what
Time, in his inevitable circuit, will certainly
give ?
GARIBALDI, on the other hand, has certain
grounds for objection to GAVOUR, which, uni
ted, have caused considerable ill feeling in
his mind. A native of Nice, he complains
that Civoua, on any pretext or to gain
any advantage, should have sturendered • Sa
voy and Nice to France. [We have no doubt
that this surrender, the price of Ns,yozzon's
assisting Yterou EmitAnnhe in the War of
1859, was arranged in the autumn of i 855,
when CAVOUIL visited NAPOLEON at Flora
bieres, to arrange the marriage between
Prince NArozzon-.loaostx with the Princess
atorumnn of Sardinia.] GARIBALDI is also
angry with °Avers for not having assisted
him, warmly and openly, in his operations of
last year, commencing with his descent upon
Sicily. But it may have been CAvoim's proper
policy, as VICTOR, EZMANVEL'S
ter, to avoid showing any complicity in an
expedition against the territory of the King
of Naples, which might have failed. Gitm-
Milan is also dissatisfied that the men who
fought with him, in the conquest of Sicily and
Naples, should not be placed in exactly the
same position as the regular army of Vie.
TOR EMMANUEL : about the same as if our
Volunteers, who have mustered, and have
marched under the if Stars and Stripes" to
maintain the , Union, should be dissatisfied,
when the war ended with victory, in not being
recognized on the same footing as the regular
army of the United States. Another com
plaint preferred by GARIBALDI was, that,
pledged as he was to bring the whole of Italy
under the sceptre of VICTOR Emmantran, his
contemplated expedition to Venetia was for
bidden by CAvoun ; who, moreover, had de
cided on letting Rome alone, until, in the
natural course of events, it must become the
capital of the Italian Kingdom. Lastly,
Gm:tummy; the Soldier, has that natural anti
path y to Cavotm, the Statesman, which the
man of action almost inevitably feels against
the man of thought. Whenever such a feel
ing arises, it is easy to foresee who must
eventually succumb, for, as BYRON says,
•` They who think must govern those who toil."
The reconciliation between GARIBALDI and
CAVOUB. has been effected by the personal in
terposition of King Vxcroz-Emusunzz. GAIII
DAtin Was on the eve of returning, dissatisfied
and angry, to his island at Caprera, when he
received a letter from the King earnestly en
treating him to visit him, at his castle of Mon
called, (four miles south of Turin, by rail
way,) and bid him farewell. Of coarse, GARI
BALDI complied, and after an hour's confiden
tial conversation with the King in his closet,
on the evening of April 24th„ he was talked
over, and admitted that he acted thoughtlessly
in attacking GATOIIR, on the 18th, in the
Italian Parliament—at which time, indeed, he
publicly intimated that he was ready to meet
Osvona in the field, if he did not like his
words in the Senate. So Impressible is
GARIBALDI that, when, immediately after
he had thrown down the gauntlet, and
General Braio and Count CA-roun had re
plied, with calmness and courtesy,
.GAltt-
Daum was in the act of leaving his seat and
walking across the House, of pressing the prof
fered hand of Count Ca.votra., when ZUPPETA I
a Mazzinian representative from Naples, suc
cessfully urged him not to yield to the gene
rous impulse. A few hours afterwards GARI
BALDI had been talked over by Tricroa-Etrsait.
nat., the latter accompanied him to the house
of the Marquis PAraaviOntr Tumoral°, in
Turin, with whom there had also been a_diffi
culty, and there the reconciliation between
GAVOUR, TRII7IILZIO, and GARIBAIDI was com
pleted, to the infinite satisfaction of all Turin,
It is hoped that this pleasant state of good
feeling will continue, and it is the more de
sirable as the Italian provinces are so very
greatly in favor of GARIBALDI that any slight
shown to him would probably have a proju.
dioial effect on the public mind.

[Correspondence of The Press.]
Waartutopos, May 19, 1861
There have been several well-deserved promo
-
done in and appointments to the army within the
last three days. Gen. George McClellan, of Penn
sylvania, appointed Major General of the Ohio
volunteers by Gov. Dennison, has been promoted
as a Major General in the regular army by Prod
dent Lincoln, and will be at the head of the West
ern military district, composed of the western
counties of Pennsylvania, the States of Ohio, Illi
nois, Indiana, and Rentuoky. Col. B. F. Butler,
of Massachusetts, has been promoted to a Ma
jor Generalship of the army, and proceeds to
day to Fortress Monroe, to take command of the
forces in the district composed of Virginia, Ten
nant*, and North Carolina. Both these gentle
men have earned these high honors. General
MoClellan outranks all other general officers, and
will be Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the
United States in the event of Ihe death of Lieu
tenant General Scott. When it ist understood that
he is not mach over thirty years of age, his pecu
liar talents and services may be better apprecia
ted. Young men are needed for such emergencies
as the present; and you may look for a progressive
and origteal campaign under the counsels of
such men as McClellan and Butler. The two
new brigadier generals' for the regular army
are Major McDowell, U. S. A , promoted, and An-
drew H. Reeder, of Pennsylvania, taken from pri
vate life. The latter will henceforth be a member
of .the permanent military eltablishment of Our
country. Ho will be compelled to throw aside law
and polities, and devote hie intellect and his life to
the Republic. It is supposed that another briga
dier general will be taken from Ohie to-morrow, in
he person of Colonel Sherman, formerly of the
army, but latterly superintendent of the military
school of Louisiana, which he resigned when that
State seceded. He is the brother of Hon. John
Sherman, late Speaker of the House and the sue
icessor of Secretary Chase in the /Senate of the
United States.
It is stated that later news from Europe leads
the Administration to antioipate a less cordial sap
port by England and Frame of the policy adopted
towards the acceded Otatee than wee looked for two
days ago. Should these two great Powers attempt
to treat the Davis piracy u a Government, to dis-
regard the protest of the Adndniatration, and to
force the blockade, the war will extend from the
New World to the Old. In such an event, we shall
have a clean open field, on a dean open issue. It
will be the battle of every element of slavery
against every element of liberty. The end would
be rushed through bloodshed, but the viotory
would be with the right.
The preparations of the Administration for a
long and comprehensive campaign, though secretly
madeN are stupendous. Up to this moment they
aro not based upon tho contingoncy.of a war with
foreign countries ; but the spirit of the people will
sustain any expenditure that may be deemed ne-
Gentry to vindicate the Government against
European as well as domestic foes.

Colonel HeDowell was tendered promotion as a

The Pennsylvania Troops in Baltimore
[From the ATM ioan of Saturday-]
The military encampment under the command
of Brigadier 4.4.eneral Cadwalader continues to be
an object of copelderable attraction and intermit to
our citizens '
who visit it from morning to night.
At an early hour yesterday morning Fort avenue
was crowded with vehicles of all kinds, filled with
persons anxious to roe the troops. Two full regi
ments are encamped on the grounds belonging to
the Cuba Mining and timelting Company, and the
thilld is on the opposite side of the road, and Imme
diately in front of a large brick-yard. The dress
parade of the regiments, which took place yester
day morning about ten o'clock, was a beautiful
affair, and attested the high state of diseipline to
which the soldiers have attained.
The several regiments, formed into line by the
adjutants, opened ranks and saluted their respec
tive commandants by a present. The bands then
played up and down the line, *hen theeolora were
saluted, followed by the usual consultation of
officers. It Is worthy of remark that the entire
thirty companies, each mustering 77 muskets,
appear in fatigue dress, and whilst on parade in
variably wear the army overcoats. The field,
staff, and other oonlmissioned officers, all appear
in their regular uniforms, with fatigue oars. The
Baited States Cornet Band, Which is attached to
one of the regiments, maids of twenty members,
who play charmingly.
General Cadwalader has taken up his quarters
within the grounds of. Fort Menem, upon the in
vitation of Major Morrie z and occupies the large
hospital building immediately on the right of the
main entrance. Daring yesterday he was called
upon by a number of personal friends, residents of
this city, and received them very cordially. It
may be worth white to state that no persons are
permitted to enter within the works of the fort,
and but few are allowed to pass the outer gates.
As far as the encampments out:tide are concerned,
there was scarcely a man in eitieen's dress to be
seen within. The fame are that a far better view
of the parades and avenues can be obtained from
without than within, whilst it is not desirable to
any military force, under existing cireumstaneee,
to have too many civilians amongst them.
Persons who feel disposed to witness the encamp
ments and the parades of the men should bear in
mind the following routine of dative: Reveille
best at four o'clock A. M ; from six to seven the
companies drill, after which breakfast is had ; at
eight the guard is mounted, and at nine the morn
ing parade is had, after which the soldiers have a
Teat until noun, when peas on the trencher are
partaken of. From three to four o'clock the com
panies drill, and at sundown the evening parade
takes place. Supper is fixed at seven o'clock, and at
ten the tattoo is beaten. The lights are then ex-
tingaished, and all the soldiers, with the exception!
of the guard, retire to rest.
The tents are of the very best kind—such as
are need in the United States army—and, stretch
ing along the green award in straight linen, pre
sent a beautiful appearanee. The number of
persona who visited the camp yesterday could
scarcely have been less than twenty thousand.
Many persons in visiting the camp take the South
Baltimore Railway oars, and walk norm the Fort
avenue to the grounds, whilst others ride to East
Baltimore, and cross the Patetismo in the ferry boats.
The regular charge for the ferry is three cents
for each paseenger.

(Correspondence of The Prers.l
Naw Your, Sunday Afternoon, filay 10, 1861.
The Fourteenth Regiment, of Brooklyn, started
for Washington yesterday. It is the crack ooTPs
of that city, and the third it has sent to the capi
tal. It was escorted by several hundred of the
m oat prominent gentlemen of the city.
The Union Defense Committee, under special
authority conferred upon them by the President,
have determined that the Second Itsgiment, Col.
Tompkins, the Ninth, Col. Hawkins, and the
Deventy-nintb, (Highlanders,) shall be sent to
Washington. The Second, a splendid body of
men, will leave to-morrow, (Monday.)
Col. Duryea's regiment, which has hod the ad
vantage of three weeks continuous drill at Fort
Schuyler; and is composed of a better class of men
than moat of the other regiments, will probably
leave on Wednesday.
Governor Olden, of New Jersey, haS appointed
an Episcopalian, a Presbyterian, a Universalist, a
Methodist, and a Roman Catholic as chaplains to
the five regiments from that State. The Roman
Catholic chaplain is the Rev. George 11. Doane, of
Newark, a son of the late Bishop Doane. Mr.
Doane was formerly an Episcopal clergyman, and
is now secretary to Bishop Bayley, who was him
self many years ago an Episcopal clergyman at
Avon Springs, in this State. Soon alter he joined
the Church of Rome he was made secretary to
Bishop Hughes, through whose influence he was
subsequently elevated to the see of New Jersey.
Re is the only Roman Catholic Bishop who was
brought up in another etturoti.
The adjutant general of this State has fixed the
pay of chaplains at sixty dollars per month, and
four daily rations. This will make them very
comfortable.
up to last evening, the Union Defenoe Commit
tee of this city had expended over nighty thousand
dollars in aid of the volunteer regiments.
The men - of the turf are looking for a great treat
in the match to come off on Tuesday of this week,
at Fashion Course, between Flora TeMple and
Princess.
Among the arrivals in town yesterday, were Go
vernor Morgan and Mr. Frank Vizitelli, of the
London Illustrated News, who comes to sketch
important scenes, men, and things connected with
the war. He is the artist who furnished to the
News its spirited sketches of the Italian campaign.
The poets of Philadelphia will not fall to notice
the very large thing advertised in the papers about
the new national song or hymn. The committee
offer $5OO for the auooessful one—to be furnished
before June 20. The competijon is open to rbym
eters all over the country.
Letter from Senator Douglas.
A Maud of Bonator Douglas has haudod us for
publication a copy of the following letter from him
on the state of the country:
Coteau°, May 10, 1861.
My DEAR SIR : Being deprived of the use of my
arms for the present by a severe attack of rheuma
tism, I am compelled to avail myself of the ear
vioea of an amanuensis in reply to your two letters.
It seems that some of my friends are unable to
comprehend the difference between arguments
used in favor of an equitable compromise, with
the tope of averting the horrors of war, and those
urged in support of the Government and flag of
our country, when war is being waged against the
United States with the avowed purpose of pro
ducing a permanent disruption of the. Union, and
a total deetraotion of its Government.
All hope of compromise with the Cotton States
Was abandoned when they assumed the position
that the separation of the Union was complete and
final, and that they would never consent to a re
construction in any contingency—not even if we
would furnish them with a blank sheet of paper
and permit them to inscribe their own terms.
Still the hope was cherished that reasonable and
satisfactory terms of adjustment Could be agreed
upon with Tennessee, North Carolina, and the
Border States, and that whatever terms would
grove eatiefaotory to these loyal States would
create a Union party in the Cotton States, which
would be powerlul enough at the ballot-box to de
stroy the revolutionary Government, and bring
those States back into the Union by the vole* of
their own people. This hope was cherished by
Union men North and South, and was never aban
doned until actual war was levied at Charleston,
and the authoritative announcement made by the
revolutionary Government at Montgomery, that
the Seoeraion flag !amnia be planted upon the walls
of the Capitol at Washington, end a proclamation
leaned inviting the pirates of the world to prey
upon the common'e of the United States.
These startling facts, taken in oonneetlon with
the boastful announcement that the ravages of war
and carnage should be quickly transferred from
the cotton fields of the booth to the wheat fields
and corn fields of the North, furnish conclusive evi
dence that it was the fixed purpose of the Sem
sionista utterly to destroy the dovernment of our
fathom and obliterate the United States from the
map of the world.
In view of thle state of feels, there was but one
path of duty left for patriotic men. It was not a
party question, nor a question involving partisan
policy ; it was a question of Eloveinment or nc
Government, country or no country ; and hence it
became the imperative duty of every Union man,
every friend of 'constitutional liberty, to rally to
the support of our common country, its Govern
ment and flag, as the only means of checking the
proress of revolution and of preserving the Union
of t h e States.
I am unable to answer your questions {n respect
to the policy of Mr. I,,incoln and. his Cabinet. I
am not in thatr:etinfidence, as you and the whole
country ought to be aware. I am neither the sup
porter of the partisan policy nor the apologist for
the errors of the Administration. My previous
relations to them remain unchanged ; but I trust
the time will never come.when I shall not be wil
ling to make any needful sacrifice of yawned
feeling and party policy for the honor and integrity
of my country.
I know of no mode by which a loyal citizen may
so well demonstrate his devotion to his country as
by sustaining the flag, the Constitution, and the
Union, under all circumstances end under every
Administration, (regardless of 'party polities,)
against all assailants, at home or abroad. The
course of Clay and Webster towards the Adminis
tration of General Jackson, in the days of Nullifi
cation, presents a noble and worthy example for
all true patriots. At the vary moment when that
fearful criate was precipitated upon the country,
partisan strife between Whigs and Democrats was
quite as bitter and relentless as now between De
mocrats and Republicans. The gulf which separa
ted party leaders in those days was quite as broad
and deep as that which now separates the Dense
orsoy from the Republioans. But the moment an
enemy rose in our midst, plotting the dismember
ment of the Union and the destruction of the Go
vernment, the vela* of partisan strife was hashed
in patriotic atlence. One of the brightest chapter!
In the history of our country will record the faot
that during this eventful period the great leaders
of the Opposition,sinking the partisan in the pa
triot, rushed to t he support of the Government,
and became its ablest and bravest defenders
against all assailants until the conspiracy was
crushed and abandoned, when they resumed their
former positions as party leaders upon political
These acts of patriotio devotion have never
been deemed evidences of infidelity or political
treaohery, on the part of Clay and illebotor, to the
principles and organization of the old Whig party.
Nor have I any apprehension that the firm and
unanimous support whloh the Democrat:lo leaders
and manses are now giving to the Constitution and
the Union will ever be deemed evidences of infi
dol:ly to Demooratio prinoiplee, or a ward of loy
alty to the organization and creed of the Demo
cratic party. If we hope to regain and perpetu
ate the aecendenoy of our party, we should never
forget that a man oannot be a true Democrat unless
he is a loyal patriot
With a sincere hope that theca icy cm:oriel:Moue
sonvictions may coincide with thoee of my friends,
I am, very truly, your!,
