And Freedom's banner streaming o'er stet TEE DEATH WOOL. 2,1.12W0RTR. A deep gloom will be thrown over the whole country Dy tll intelligence of the death of the gallant leader of the New York Zonave Regiment, Colonel ELLSWORTII. Brave to a limit, he had acquired a hold ripen the confi dence, respect, and affection et his men which astonished all who knew the courageous and determined, yet reckless and daring, material of which they are composed. A =tatted scholar, a true gentleman, and a thorough soldier, all the energies of his nature were embarked in the present conflict, and big friends justly anticipated for him a long and brilliant military career. Though be has fallen by the hand of an asinisain, at the very outset of his active service, his name will be embalmed forever in the affections of his loyal countryman, aide by side with that of WABACN, who was among the first martyrs at Bunker Hill; and in the thick-coming future many a proud head among the traitor hoots will be laid low by those who are eager to avenge his death. No young man In our country held so con spicuous and honorable a position in tbe nation's eye, and every patriotic heart will Manta as deeply as it a near and dear per sonal friend or relative bad been thus brutally slain. Bat from his martyred blood will spring up myriads of avenging spirits, and a terrible retribution awaits the alders and abet tors of the miscreant who slaughtered him. Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Troops A Washington correspondent says that two hundred and fifty thousand troops have new been mustered into the service of the Govern- Ment, and are drawing pay and rations from It. Though not sill thoroughly equipped, they soon will be, and a very large portion of' them are now well-drilled. With such a force prepar ed for active service, and with a country rich in resources, overflowing with patriotism, and ready to furnish a quarter of a million more men, as soon as they are needed, it cannot be possible that the traitors will long be able to successfully contend against us. Point after point upon which we advance must fall before our overwhelming force. What we most need is time to perfect all our arrangements, so that we need not jeopardize the success of any at tack, which by proper precautions we can ren der invincible. The movements made yester day in the vicinity of Washington were impera tively necessary for its complete defence. The anomaly of having picket guards of an oppo sing army, and a hostile flag defiantly flaunting In sight of the Federal Capitol, could not be longer tolerated- Besides, it was vitally portaut that the facilities heretofore possessed by the traitors for rapidly advancing in large bodies from Richmond and elsewhere, should be cut off, and that the commanding position of Arlington Heights should be in the possession of the friends and not the fees of the Bepublic. There are rumors—which do not, however, appear to be very well authenticated—that it is the desige of Jars. Deets to coneeutrate his available forces as rapidly as possible at Harper's Ferry, preparatory- ee :dread aeon Pennsylvania_ _This kyle is frequently seems incredible, not only because he will fled defensive work enough in Virginia and other Statee in league with the conspirators to em ploy his whole army, but because, if be made each an advance, his communications with the South would be cut off, while such a re oaptiou world await him here that scarcely a man would be left to tell the story of his in vasion of the Keystone State. We do not doubt that the troops now quartered within our borders, and the thousands within call in New York and Ohio, would be able to dis pose, in a very complete and satisfactory manner, of any force that would be rash enough to invade us. Stil, It must be remem bered that Harper's Ferry lies within a very rhort distance of our border, and our seen_ rity, as well as the honor of our arms and the safety of Western. Virginia, requires that it should not much longer be occupied by the traitors. Meanwhile, the large concentration of our Colliers in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe not wily indicates that it hos been rendered im pregnable, but that all the batteries thrown up int the Virginia shore of the Potomac will be Gaptured, and Norfolk and Portsmouth per haps attacked. A saccoaatui campaign, on large scale, which contemplates not only secu ring loyal territory, but marching against posts now in the possession of an enemy, and in Which it is necessary to convert nearly the whole army from peaceful citizens into train ed soldiers at a few weeks' notice, obviously requires more time than some impatient spirits seem willing to concede; but, considering that the proclamation of the President calling for volunteers appeared but about forty days ago, it seems evident that no nation in the world ever before made such herculean exer tions and accomplished so much in that brief period. _ Atnerieurt Affairs in Europe. We have been prepared for the publication of the proclamation which the British Govern ment has issued in reference to the troubles in America. The officers of the Government announced in the House of Commons recently, that the subject had been before the Privy Council, and, with our knowledge of English feeling, it was not difficult to understand what the nature of this manifesto would be. We are told that Logland will maintain through out our unhappy quarrel it the strictest and Most impartial neutrality," between this Re public and "certain States, styling them selves the Confederate States of America? ) British subjects are warned not to' give aid or comfort to either parties, and, in the event of their doing so, they are prohibited from claim• ing the protection of the English flag. In the meantime we learn that the commis' riming of the lc certain States" are in Paris endeavoring to persuade Lowe Naromion into recognition of their Confederacy. A tele graphic despatch received late last evening from IiOW Orleans, states that the conspirators at Montgomery were in hopes that their ea odious with the Emperor would be successful. We have, no indication of any such result from serepe. TM English and French Govern. meats were sending fleets to the waters around the United States for the purpose of protect- Ins the commerce of the respective nations. If we may take the capitalisis of England as the types of English feeling, no more gratify- . tug assurance can be obtained than that of the London Money Market. American seen- Titian were exhibiting no signs of the commo tion in America, and United States. 6s had actually advanced one and two per cent. This Is a distinguishing mark of confidence on the part of English moneyed men, in the resoruces of the Government and the justice of our damsel. It will be seen that there is an Im mense drain of gold to America. As we anticipated in our recent article on tt q subject, the English cotton factors are " 011 44 herculean alerts to supply the cotton mills 'tom other sources than those of th e Routh.

The “Right" of Revolution. After all the discussions of the day on the "right of secession" and "right of revolu tion," we fled people in onr midst still in a Ng on these subjects. We were gravely asked to grant the ..right of secession." Having proved that it is no right—that it strikes at the root of all government—we are as gravely asked to grog, the independence of the' South because we admit the o right of revolution," and revolution exists. And in the nineteenth century to be obliged to dis prove this! A revolution is not a ttfait de. compli" until a revolution is ended, and a revolution is not ended until a conflict of arms has taken piece. If a revolution is to be considered as ended before a conflict has oc curred, why should the revolutionary party take up arms at all ? If the opponents of a revolution are to give up the moment a cer tain portion of a people has risen, they must grant the right of secession—and this we have denied. We do grant the ‘c right of r evelation ►' as we grant the right of a man to go to law. We do not grant to every One to win his case ; only that he may have it tried. In a difference like ours, who is to be judge of the right I The arbitrament in arms ; the best judge of right, posterity. The Governments of Europe have wisely decided to recognize only fg de facia" Govern ments; otherwise they would be eternal ly embroiled in the intestine difficulties of other nations. They regard the exist mice of a Government as the evidence of its right to exist. Who will say, however, that this is the true measure of its right to exist? It la the best general policy to adept—that is all; for the subversion of a Government might be a very wicked act. We do sot grant that people in instituting a revolution are neces sarily Tight. This word "right" is the stum bling block. The people may or may not be right. God is the final judge. As the cause of a people against a people cannot be peaces :Lily tried on earth, they resort td arms. To speak of a revolution which overturns all ex isting laws without a conflict, is to speak of violence without force. To speak of a tiling as an absolute right which may be a wrong, is to talk nonsense. The idea of claiming revo lution as a sacred right originates in the pre sumption that no people, without a rightful cause, would attempt it, and that right will prevail. If we acknowledge every revolution to be right, it =net be conceded to all revolu tionists that they are never mistaken. Men have a right to think, but they often come to wrong conclusions. In fine, we , grant that revolution may properly be claimed as the right of a people who may think them selves aggrieved, to endeavor to redress their grievances by force, but it does not follow that we grant the initiation or constannsatlork of every revolution to be right; still less, that a revolution is finished when it has scarcely begun. Party Polities. The busy politicians of all the effete Tulles in our midst, reckless of the country's trou bles, and indifferent to the enormous issues involved in this crisis, are looking forward like carrion birds to see how much they eau make for themselvea at the coming October election. We trust that the loyal people by whom we are surrounded will not be deluded by these mercenary men. There is no DeMOelWlO party—there is no Republican party . there is no American party in Philadelphia, or in Pennsylvania, this day. There is, if the country is worth saving, only one party— that is the party of the Union and the Go vernment; and while we have no choice be tween the candidates, hero or elsewhere. looking formard to place, and no desire save that good men may be put in nomina tion, we think we speak for the people when we say that every such aspirant should first declare that he is for the cause of the country, and against the Southern banditti, and in favor of maintaining the Government as it stands, at whatever cost. If the men who have heretofore controlled organisations, can vassed wards, and dictated to Governors and Presidents, will pat themselves upon this plat form, We shall be indifferent as between them, exercising only the right to. discriminate as to their qualifications and deserving& In other words, while there may be a thousand candi dates for the offices to be voted for in the fall elections, there should, and there must be, but one platform--and that is, Our country, giFwhole country, and nothing but our corm- Ir war, be seen that Secretary GLUM= bits accepted the regiment under command of Col.

The Slag says Lest night was a stirring one indeed. Through the day and evening the reports of contemplated military movements kept the populace on the qn lice, to which exeitement fresh fuel was added On its being whispered that various regiments had• been ordeted to prepare for immediate orrice; the words dropped also by General Thomas, at the Seventh Regiment amp, that the storm was ishcant to burst, indicated that a decisive move was to be taken. The general idea among the troops, was that an advance was to be made into Virginia, but nobody Deemed to be posted as to the exact pur poses entertained at headquarters. At It o'olook we pushed off far the Long Bridge, to see what was developing thereabcmts. We found the vigilant sentries of - the Washington Light Infantry (company A) posted gine datum up Maryland avenue, and a portion, of the tame contpany stationed somewhat Mwer.down...4sroo of the Infantry had also been detailed to h Oat near the monument, to keep an eye on any bolts going out of the canal.

Smead's oten patty, the National Rides, and Capt. rowan's company, were advanced across the bridge to the neighborhood of Raeoh's Spring Scouts were sent out in all directions, who managed to get past the line of the Virginia pickets. Oomewliat later, the Virginia piokets, getting the alarm, set spurs to their horses and married downthe road towards Alexandria in hot haste. The Constitutional. Guard, Capt. Items, about 80 strong, were on duty over the bridge ; Colonel Stone, of the B.

The men answered unanimously in favor of going anywhere; and they were accordingly advisnoed along the road, awl through the country down as far as the Four-mile run. The Virginia picket guard, stationed. near Roach's spring, ran, and about an bow after the alarm bella,were rang in Alexandria. This morning at 2 A.

The quality of the rations was good with but one exception, and that was a ration of pork which was purchased at Laneaster. There is no greater restiveness among the troops than is usual with fresh volunteers undergoing the tranaforma tion from oivil to military life: The change to salt pork is absolutely nseeseary, as a unitary measure before entering upon the campaign, because if the change was made in hot weather south of Washington, dysentery would inevitably be the result, and be more daatnaotive of life than the ballets of the enemy.

The ethers, viz Camps Seed, Johnson, Wayne, and Slifer, are entirely under the direction and authority of the flitted States Government, whose commissary agent in this State is Gen. McLean, Numerous complaints have been received from the officers of the regiments encamped of an inaufficienoy of KW plies, bat, as the State has ne power to remedy the evil, they are necessarily referred to the Govern ment at Wealiington. Complaints have been re. oeived from the camp at Lancatter of en insuffi• client supply of bread, but nothing has been said about the unhealthiness of the pork furnished. The seeming irregularities in the management of the military reoVei.ante in this State have bean cionaaloned by the obstacles which were to be en. countered at the commencement The orders from Warhington to send on troops at once, to be uni formed when they reached, their destination, which were soon after countermanded whoa the Uoveru• meet found itself without the necessary equipments, the Interruption of travel, and the coneentration of a larger number of troops than arrangements had been matte fur, end numerous other sadden °bongos ii the programme, naturally produced a confusion in the direction of affairs, which is gradually being overcome. It is understood here that the State has been charged but $l2 for the entire uniform farniehed sash of the troops, including the cap, blouse, pants, shoes, and underclothing. Many of these uwiforms were not intended to tact linger than till their place could be supplied by more substantial clothing, which the difficulty of finding a market prevented the authorities from obtaining as soon as the urgency of the moment rendered necessary.

Mr. Hastings, from Pittsburg, said be was out and out opposed to Dr. Hodge'o oubstitute, and in favor of the other. The great argument urged Is favor of the latter and against the former is the unity of the Church. He had beard mere about that to day than he,had heard in ten years. But, labia opinion, there was something back of all that. And what la that? it is the thing that endangers the unity of the Church. What is it? A certain state of things existing in a Southern portion of oar country. Where does , this thing exist? Does it exist • with the members of our Church of that portion of the country who are in favor of suss. mon ? If so, will the General Assembly, the greater portion of it gathered here from the North, bow in sabtairsion to their conspiracy ? [lt Voice —No, air j Nevem, I hope There may be a sympathy for them, while there is no soma soon Spirit among us Is this General Ac. eambly to bow, in respect to this empathy, and to the utter neglect of sympathizing with a Government, the very existence of which is threat ened with ruin ?

Party spirit was quenched at one blow •, the whole North was imbued with a reeling of patriotism; and the power which now prevails, has triumphed over our material I interest'. The times demand that we should tete a decided Stand in favor of the Government.
