Hz is a great man who can stand the test of
a revolution. The trees of the forest may
branch forth and develop themselves through
the calm summers of many a placid year;
but it is only atter the hurricane is over, and
we walk amid crushed foliage, rifted timber,
lightning-scarred trunks, and the general
desolation of the storm, that we know which
of the oak and elm were the strongest and
stateliest- The dativoieloee of society are
as thorough and decisive as those of Nature.
We can never appreciate a great man until we
have tested him, and many a man passes into
his grave with the attributes of greatness
whose life has been one quiet scene of 'sun
shine and summer showers. When the storm
comes many abandon the ship Of State in de
spair; many sweep along with the current, in
tent only upon life and position ; many lash
themselves to the masts and are drowned
the middle of a paternoster; some seize the
treasure and monopolize the life-boats, leav

honesty others.

than he is bound to be a soldier ; and there are per

the military profession Bat neither in the one
way of life, nor in the other, is any nun entitled to
take en the sweet and leave alt the sour. A man
who belongs to the army only in time of peace,

a traitor in June because his successful rival
carries out the very pledge on which he
sought to be elected. KENNETH RATNER, the
most ostentatious declaimer of Union rhetoric
in the land—a man who even advocated an
alliance between Fermoirr and Pm-mottle in
1856—is now as ostentatious and ornate in
favor of Secession. Homy FOOTR, the
great triumph of whose life was the defeat of
Jarizeson D tvis on this very Union issue,
and who delivered the most uncompromising
Union speeches in the North and South last

of his gt Abolitionism," is now a tearful
penitent at the toot of the Richmond throne.

until it was the interest of 11 , s ambition to

been suspected men. Tt ey have had iefin
ences around them which it repaired more
courage than is usually allotted to man to

feared to breast it, and accordingly went with
the tide.

most flagrant. His detection came like a clap

it would have given his name a cloudless glory
in the hereafter.
Bat if many have been tried and found sad
ly wanting, this revolution has more frilly de
veloped the qualities of true statesmanship
and courage in others of our public men whom
we have not hitherto loved with the idolatry
bestowed upon many of the fallen. We need
not speak of FEENTIEE and BZOWELOW,
the journalists ; of IsTELson and ELME.
ELME, MANNAND, CLEMENS, CAILLLLE,
and Prearoar--nor of ANDITIEW JOHNSON,
x* whose great speech we published yester
day. These men have fought a contest which
finds no parallel in our country's history—they
have fought it with energy and skill. In Ten
-
Imams they htte carried the flag of the Union
through a hostile country, and even after their
State had ostensibly sanctioned Secession they
have raised their banner among the hills of the
eastern country, and drawn the sword to de
fend it.
NO man in this land today oc c u pie sa
prouder poaition than ANDILIW Jouneort. He
has shown himself to be a man et strong eon-
of great energy of purpose, of in
domitablevtii2 courage, and animated by that con
sistency of principle, which neither tempta
tion nor intimidation Lag shaken, and which is
only to be found in the greatest minds of his
tory. He speaks with a plainness and force,
without the gracile of the orator and rhetori
cian. A man of the people, who has risen from
humble poverty to his high place by his own
industry and ability, he speaks to the people
in earnest language. There is an enthusiasm
about him which we cannot but admire, and
when he says 2 ac lam willing to place every
particle or property I possess at the disposal
of the Government, if she needs it in this
-trite. l a m willing to pour out my life-blood
a libation on the altar of my country," we
know that he means what he says, and that he
deals not in vain and uncertain phrases.
One man like ANDREW JOHNSON will re
deem the present era of American nistory, and
sufficiently compensate this generation for the
shame it feels at having cherished such men
as Joan Buts. and I. H. Stemless. We present
him to history as the type of true greatness.
We know he will fight this contest to the end,
and when the hour of victory brings ns peace
and honor and an undivided Union, the people
will show that they have not been unmindful
of his courage and loyalty.
A Lesson from History
Some of the Southern communities are
making soldiers out of their negro slaves. i his
element 01 their social system has not been
largely represented in their military prepare
tions as yet, but the subject is being discussed
by many of their public men, and their jour
nals have been threatening to meet the
eg Northern Abolitionists" with negro bat
talions armed and drilled on the plantation.
That the negro will be compelled, if possible,
to make himself useful in this war, as a part of
the Southern army, we are convinced. The
Secessionists have called the Indians from the
forest, armed them with tomahawk and rifle,
and are sending them Northward, to contend
with our armies, and they will certainly use
the negro. We do not see how anything could
be more dangerous or unwise than to teach the
blacks the experience of war. In many dis
tricts of the Cotton States the negroes far out
number the whites, and are only controlled by
efficient discipline.
Gummi, in his tlistory of the Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire," alludes to an in
stance of a war in which servile soldiery took
a part, and it might be safely commended to
the people of the :outh. The war alluded to
was consequent upon the expulsion of the
Sarmatians by the Goths, in the latter yearg of
the reign of GONSTANTIN.O the Great. After
relating how Wiseman, the Vandal King,
defended his dominions alone and unassisted,
with undaunted courage, and how he was TIM'
quished and slain in a decisive battle, which
swept away the flower of the Sarmatian youth,
the historian says: £ The remainder of the
nation embraced the desperate expedient of
arming their slaves, a hardy race of hunters
and herdsmen, by whose tumultuous aid they
revenged their defeat, and expelled the invader
tram their confines. But they soon discovered
that they had exchanged a foreign for a
domestic enemy, more dangerous and more
implacable. Enraged by their former servi
tude, elated by their present glory, the slaves,
under the name of Liraigantes, claimed and
usurped the possession of the country which
they had saved. Their masters, unable to
withstand the ungoverned fury of the popu.
lace, preferred the hardships of exile to the
tyranny of their servants. Some of the fugi
tive Sarmatians solicited a less ignominious
dependence under the hostile standard of the
Goths."
The Congressional Nominations.
The Conventions of the People's party, and
the Democratic party in the Second Congres
sional district have shown no disposition to
ignore political distinctions, but the former
has nominated CHARLES O'NEIL., Esq., and
the latter Col. CHentEs 1. BIDDLE. There is
a desire manifested to place other candidates
in the field, but no definite arrangements for
that purpose have yet been perfected. Mr.
O'Num's attachment to the Administration,
and determination to sustain it in the prosecu
tion of vigorous war measures, is, we believe,
unquestioned, even by those who do not alto
gather approve the proceedinge .of the Coo
voodoo which nominated him. In times like
these it is vitally important that no half-way
measures or haltway men should be sustained.
Col. 13rorts has many qualities to commend
him to popular favor; but having acted during
the last Presidential contest with the support
ers OLBILICKINUIDOZ, and being now sustained
most actively by the politicians who sympa.
thize with the Disunionists, who are the au
thors of all our tronbl s, and are eager to
throw obstacles in the way of a vigorous pro
secution ef the war, he can scarcely expect to
fully gain public confidence, if be does not
pledge himself to give an unqualified support
to the war policy of the Government, and
expressly repudiate all compromise arrange
ments.
British Reinforcements for Canada.
It would be difficult;however strongly the
effort were made, to do anything half so
absurd as the British Government is about do
log. The last news from England tells the
world that ts The British Government has de.
termined to send three regiments of infantry
and sufficient artillery and munitions of war to
reinforce the North American garrisons. It
is thought desirable to place them in a condi
tion to command respect from any irregular
bodies which, in a moment of excitement,
might assail them. The steamer Great
Eastern conveys the troops."
A moment of excitement, indeed I There
are no giants, except what the fears of some
people create. There are no fears of any as
milt, by the Americans, upon Canada, except
what the stupid red-tapists of Downing street
have absurdly raised np. There are no bodies,
regular or Irregular, at present dreaming ofas
unit on or hostility to Canada. Our people
are in arms to defend the Union, and for that
purpose only. Does England want to raise a
trouble withus ? If not, why needlessly send
over three regiments, with artillery and mu
nitions of war, to reinforce Canada, which Is
neither weak nor threatened? Will Lord
LYONS condescend to explain the policy of his
Government?
Fort Pickens.
From the elaborate descriptions which Mr-
RIIB23ELL has given of the traitor camp at Pen
sacola, and of the interior of Fort Pickens, it
is evident that he considered the latter in but
little danger from the attacks of the former;
while on the other hand he says that "if Fort
Pickens were made at once the point d'appur
for a vigorous offensive movement by the
fleet and by a land force," he has little doubt
that "Pensacola must fall and that General
BRAGG would be obliged to retire." The
Confederates have evidently been completely
foiled in that quarter.
WE ARE unable to understand the precise
terms of the agreement between General
ilicOtrixsit and Governor MAGOFFIN of Ken
tucky. It has elicited criticisms of a friendly
and unfriendly character, and, as to its pro
priety, there is a diversity of sentiment. We
still entertain our previonaly.expressed opi
nion. We think the General has been actu
ated by the best motives in Leaking a com
promise, although we cannot believe he has
dared to assume the treaty making power,
which has not been delegated to him by the
Administration. litaaorpm is a traitor, and
the agents of the Government must deal with
him cautiously, and oppose any treasonable
scheme he may organise with all their power.

VidsmstrroN, June 24, 1861
It is not many atantbs ago that the ladies of the
free States were caned upon by one of their most
accomplished sisters of South Carolina to assist in
raising money for the purchase of the home and
the grave of George Washington, tt the Father of
his Country " This sister, Miss Pamela Canning

city of Philadelphia. Indeed, she affected your
Quiet Ways, your pleasant EoOiety, and your open

pulpit, the press, and the bar; and, with the aid of
a number of your wealthy °Miens, induced Mr-
Everett to , prepare that marvellous production,
dedicated to the "chart:aster of Washington," which
was repeated in most of the Rabat of the Union,
and whieh beoame so popular as of itself to have
aided to swell the fund to *OO,OOO or $70,000.
Mr. Everett, inspired by the double obliga

and regard for the beautiful women who had
tee purchase of the home and grave in charge,
nit content with preparing and prononneing his
eulogy, aeoepted the proffer of Mr .-Bonner, of the
New York Ledger, to prepare a number of artioles
for that popular serial, in return for which Mr.
Bonnet contracted to pay an enormous sum, which
was also deposited with the treasurer of the mesa

tne same purpose. The nativity of Mies Cunning.
ham, in all this interesting matter, oannot well be

national ; so profoorally attached to the North;
so facile of tongue and pen, that her appeals were
responded to by our Northern capitalists with
almost perennial generosity. The writer of this

What she dictated he wrote; what she com
manded be obeyed. And he well remembers,
on one occasion, when be suggested to her the per.
eibulty of cultivating the homestead of Washing
ton by slave labor, and how such an example would
interfere with her enterprise, she scouted the pro
position as among the impoasibilities. And when,
on a subsequent occasion, in ibis very correspond
ence, I ventured to admonieh the ladies having
this great purpose in hand, that, after ail, it would
be wall to protect the hams and the grave from
such a sequel, these fair patriots raised their hands
la holy horror at the bare suggestion of a thing
that onuld never happen. Mips Pamela Cunning

demon ied John A Waehington when he expiated
the " pound of flesh" in selling the property of his

RS any ground in Fairfax county, and it is unae
countable to me that nothing distinctive can be
seen front a proper elevation above it with good

I. trust General MoDowell will have hint get
more cordage, so that the balloon may attain an
elevation of 1 000 feet, and may also send a tom.
