That strong arm was put forth, and all j classes of men, laying aside the bickerings of party feeling, rushed to maintain the integrity of the Union and the honor of the country. A few aiders, and abettors, and defenders of the traitors, who lurked in every community, discreetly held their : tongues, n= they well know under the then f existing state of things a tory and a trai tor would have met with no quarter. When our troops got into the field aud safety ap peared at least in the distance, every pre-' text was seized hold of to foment discord or create distrust in tho.ie in authority.— No allowance was made for the extraordi nary occasion, none for errors, none for the interruption of trade and travel, but these men who had without hesitation defended the thievery of Buchanan's Secretary of War Floyd, the treason of Secretary Cobb in disarranging the finances of government, the acta of Secretary Toucy in scattering our ships of war, and the double duplicity of Secretary Thompson, made all manner of charges against the Governor of Pennsyl vania and President Lincoln and his Cab inet, preferring iti almost every instance to tell n falsehood in preference to the trrr.h when the former was necessary to subserve their lory purposes.

While everything seem- to be preparing for ari onward move at Washington—the j regulars, the artillery, and the most relia ble troops being ordered to the front—the 1 word i: forward ' ha- not yet been given. At Fort Monroe, also, things remain quiet. It is said that the Gran 1 Army will ad- { vanee from b\ ashington in three divisions, the right led by Gen. Tyler, of Connecti cut, the centre by Col. Hunter, who has been in general command at Fort Corco ran, the left by Col. Ileinzelman, who has been in general command at Alexandria, the whole under Gen. McDowell There will be a fourth corps of reserve. Each division will consist of not far from 10,000 j men. In Northern and North-Western Yir- I ginia important movements are in rapid progression. Geri. Patterson, at the head of Id,ooo men, principally Peansylvaniane, has crossed the Potomac, driven back the enemy at Falling waters, occupied Martins burg, and will probably soon move forward to attack Gen. Johnston, if he awaits his coming, at the small village of Bunker Hill, where he is said to have intrenched himself. Gen. Johnston's command is said to outnumber Patterson's, being reputed to be 5,000 men, of whom 500 are cavalry. We judge this, however, to be an exagger ation. Gen. Patterson has Burnside's Rhode Island battery and Captain Double day's. Col. Stone is reported on his way to , Harper's Ferry, asi thence to; in O, v~. Patterson, with several thousand m-.r.
