And Freedom's banner streaming Oar as 1 The Objects of the War. • Those who are disposEd to embarrass the Administration, and to indireatly assi s t the traitors, constantly, allege that the South can never, be conquered, and that it is, therefore, useless to protract the'irar. It requires but little reflection, however, to perceive the fal lacy of this position. We have been enjoying, for many years, great peace and prosperity under a republican form of government, in which the popular voice has declared who should be our Ohief Magistrates, and in the decisions thus given, all parties, heretofore have cheerfully acquiesced, and the role of tho majority, tinder certain constitutional provi sions 'and restrictions, has prevailed over the whole country. But, tor the first time in our history, a defeated minority, disregarding the popular will, has sought to overthrow it by revolutionary and treasonable means. Well knowing how odious such a project would be to every ' rational and patriotic mind, if pre seated to its "nakeddeiorrnity, it has been par . . . Bally disguised by the traitors _as a cc Seces sion seheme,"'and termed by them - merely a withdrawal of certain States from the Union This'devim? , , hoiever, neither changes its real character or its real purpose. The United States has been and is a corn put nation in the eyes of her own people ard the whole world, so far as regards all questions Which aro not purely of a local and ,domeatic character. As onfination She held a Presidential election in Novemher, 1860, to choose a ruler for all the Statea of the Republic, and even the most rabid Secessionist would not deny that if Joni C. BRIOKINILIDGE had been the succeasfal candidate, nobody would have dreamed of advocating a Secession ordinance. The outbreak, which the national armies are now seeking to quell, was, therefore, mani festly intended to break down the demOcratie principle . upon which our government waa founded; and to aubtitute in lien of it the rule of brute force or usurping despotism, over at least a part, if not the whole country. If we do not put forth all our energies to quell a revolt of this kind, but, fold- ing our hands, say, ig we cannot conquer the insurgents, and it is, therefore, not worth while to fight them," the doom of republicanism is sealed forever, and it will be in vain to expect popular elections to be . respected hereafter when their result is peen- liariy distasteful or obnoxious to powerful and determined minorities. The welfare of this nation for Many centuries depends upon the manner in which the 'first great conspiracy to overthrow its inetitntions is treated by its Government and its loyal citizens. We are to decide now not merely whether a few bat tle& are to be won or lost, or whether the power of governing the eleven rebellions States is to belong to the duly-elected Presi dent, Mr. Limoots, or the traitor chieftain, Jiresitspe Davis, but whether, in long ages to, come, a great, free, and mighty Republic shall exist upon our shores, or numberless petty, jar ring, dincordant, and tyrannical principalities, as hostile to each other and as mutually destruc tive as the Indian tribes which originally oc cupied this continent, shall be established here. The traitors blindly forced this war upon us by attacking an almost defenceless ' fort and threatening to capture our capital. And we are bound in honor now, as good and loyal citizens, determined to enforce the Constitution and laws, for our own welfare and for that of pos. terity, for the sake of the overawed Union men of the South and for the preservation and rescue of the shamefally violated rights of the people of the North who have bad business or personal intercourse with the rebellions sec tion, to put forth all our powers to crush trea son, to punish traitors, and to vindicate the insulted dignity of our Great Republic. • All other countries have had trials and diffi culties similar to those which we are now undergoing. Bold, bad men, in all ages, have bean bat too ready to foment conspiracies, to divide nations, to overturn established govern, menus. When the *ruling power was weak and inefficient they generally triumphed, but when it was vigorous and determined they were defeated and their armies scattered. It's for us to decide whether tho conspiracy which has been organized among us shall be over thrown or triumphant, for we have clearly the power and resources to subdue it. No one who contrasts the relative strength of the con• tending forces in our country can doubt the ultimata result of the contest, assuming each party to be equally resolute and determined. Bat, in reality, we do not seek to conquer the South. We are now, as we have ever been, ready to extend to her people all the political privileges Which we claim for our selves. We do not wish to make them our subjects, but our political equals. We do not propose to ostracise them from any portion of gm power and influence of the Federal Go ;liitrnrnent, but to permit them to be sta : tally *term: frmted, and as well protected; ies• Our. iishite- There are many reasons tr* induce tiism; to resist unto death the invasion of the sdope of a foreign country, which do not, in any manner, apply to an attempt of an army of their fellow countrymen to •enforce the Fede. sal laws, which- they assisted to frame, aid which have always hitherto conduced to their .prosperity., It Is, therefore, by no means cer.' UM that the authority of our Federal Govern mernt cannot be, in a very great measure, if .not entirely restored, over the whole country, by a vigorous exertion of its power: Men have 'sought to attach a frightful meaning to it coot. ;" but when treason rears its threatening beo, the only real question is whether, ihicr,rtilt coercion, a Government shall 6c: de atroyed or preserved ; for, if force is not used for the latter -purpose, it will be successful in '4lcoorrapilablig the former. Our experience in -tbia.pretteent difficulties has shown, on the one hitild, what a powerful agency terrorism has hain precipitating unwilling districts Into the control of the traitors, and how efficient a Jo. dioions employment if force has proved to uphold the authority of the Union. Ma. ryland and Missouri have been easily res cued from the control of the conspirators ..6y- the timely action of a few resolute regt ''2terits. Little or no military power will be ' regalriod to assure the loyalty ot.Sentucky, '.-EfuttalakTennessee, and Western Virginia. If th e tnagoiyia . fai now in Virginia is defeated our forces advance the rep h ti volitstmHereruerured that they come . 1, 11,4 :4 ~...iyoyiWstititutds, not to oppres I , :lut "to orda,llll t‘Wto.iogsdble that in State after State a Union party will speedily gain the ascendency, and that the revolt will thee be crushed with comparatively little blood shed. At the outset a majority. of the people of the South wore opposed to the treasonable movement, and their experience of the mise ries and privations, the dangers, internal and external, which it is certain to entail upon them, together with the utter impossibility or the success of the grand scheme for a South ern Confederacy, can scarcely have made them all hearty supporters of it. The Troops are Volunteers. The Rebels pretend to call mercenaries the people who have flown to arms to preserve the Union and to save the country from ruin. They belie the people. When the treason was avowed, the whole nation except that unfortunate part of it domineered over by the. branded traitors, called in ,deep and solemn tones upon its constitute& authorities to sup press the revolt, and murmured at delay. When the insurrection was ripe, the Govern ment cried, To Arms, and instantly the Sove reign People bounded forth *out field and forest, from cottage and from palace, to repel the assailants of the agents they had elected to conduct their affairs—assailants of ,them selves, for the people are the Government, managing their affairs by those agenta--rob bars of the people's treasures and property, which the Government possessed only as their representative—invaders of the people'i territories and fortresses held by the Govern ment for them, attempting to seise their capi tal and archives. There was and is no levy, no conscription, no compulsion, no detail of the militia, no hiring; the troops did not know, did not'alik what pay they were to have; they were and are volunteers in the strictest sense; they en rolled themselves eagerly of their Own free will. Such an enthusiastic uprising of the citizens was never before seen; history re. cords nothing like it; they insist upon being taken into service, even quarreling for admis sion into it, and complaining at,not being led immediately into action. There is a univer sal roar of indignation at the flagitious en deavors of a set of disappointed trading poli ticians and frustrated plunderers of the public to alienate the affection, to destroy the (rater nal hirmony of the sections of our common country, and to wreck Ito peace and pros perity. The traitors attempt to seize the seat of Go vernment with the archives, the common pro perty of the nation ; and now, when their mobs approaching the capital are met by the faithful patriotic masses advancing to repulse them, and to protect good citizens, the traitors exclaim that the sacred. soil of Virginia hi vio lated. What made if - sacred ? The soil of Virginia is no more sacred Onin Fort Sump ter, belonging to the people of the whole Union. The soldiers of Virginia came into Pennsylvania to suppress a revolt against the'. United States in 1794, and we owe them a re ciprocity of the service. • The invective personal abuse by'the trai tors shown that theirs is not a national feeling, but is individual spite against those who have been elected to, repair the injuries they have inflicted upon the, country by, their pillage and mismanagement. It is a mistake to treat in dividual treason and rebellion as the waging of war by a community or government. The conspirators insult the inhabitants of the States, where the reign of terror <has been established, by pretending to be a superior class, and that the masses are "poor white trash" whom they are to rule; for whose re lief from tyranny, and. for the re-establish ment of equal rights and freedom of the bal lot,.the restoration of peace, harmony, and fraternity, and the perpetuation of our glori ous nationality, the trite lovers of the country have armed; not to war against the, people of the South,or any other section, but to re lieve them from oppression, and reinstate them in their rights of free speech, free action, free voting, freedom Prom the domination.of insolent, pretending aristocrats, The soldiers of the Union are not merce naries; they do not demand pay; they only demand arms, and to be led to put down the Rebels. Those who are accidentally left when, their regiments march eagerly pursue to join their colors. The conduct of the patriot sol diers is in brilliant contrast to that of the Rebels. The conflagration of public buildings and bridges, and the destruction of roads, are acts of notations outrage, proving utter want of civilization. An army fleeing before an enemy in hot pursuit may be justified in de stroying bridges and roads to delay pursuit and give time for escape, but to destroy such monuments of art and benefit to mankind under any other circumstances, degrades the perpetrators to the •level of brutal savages. The destruction of the bridges at and near Eiarper's Ferry was an act of the most wanton, mischievous absurdity; the river may be crossed at numerous fords. The world hooted shame, and none louder than the Virginians, when the public buildings at Washington were burned in 1813, which were chiefly for embel lishment of the national capital, but the trai tors, led by Virginians, destroyed constructions Costing immense sums, beneficial to great re glens of the country;iind universal execration will be poured upon their heads for the iniquity. Tam Diorama BOTH LOOK:LEO ATTER THE CHIVALRY.—The general order issued by Ge. neral PATTERSON complimenting the detach ment of Col. WALLACE'S Indiana Regiment for their bravery in the recent engagement with a greatly superior force of the traitors, con firms the almost incredible report of their achievements which was originally furnished to General McCnzaLes and published by us on Saturday. History contains few such records as this. Thirteen mounted men attacked forty-one Insurgents, killing eight, and chasing their companions for two miles. Afterwards, being attacked by a party of seventy-live, they. maintained their ground, and, suffering a loss of one man killed and two wounded, wounded a captain, two lieutenants, and a large number of the rank and file of their assailants. The heroes of these bold deeds are part of a re giment of picked men whose , motto is "Re member Buena Vista," and they are doing wonders towards the destruction of the plea sant theories which have been cherished at the South of the ig superiority" of the chiv airy over Northern men on the battle-field. Tnzaa IS an earnestness about the people of Western Virginia which commands our highest admiration. They have taken upon themselves the task of removing the dark stain of treason from the escutcheon of the Old Dominion. They propose no half-way measures, but intend that the reorganization and reformation shall be thorough and perma nent. In this conflict they are fully sustained by the General Administration, which has declared to the Wheeling Government ic that it will aid and protect it to the utmost of its power, and will most unquestionably recog nize the reorganized Government as the true and legitimate Government of the State." Tarr remarkable speech of Col. Fa AJK Biala, of Missouri, recently delivered in New York, will be read with attention. He takes the highest ground that Retrial= can take in this fearful time. When he speaks, of com promise as folly in the extreme, he echoes the sentiment that now pervades every true heart. His words in this crisis have a powerful mean ing, for Col. BLAIR returns from a conflict in the West, whore ho has shown that, whatever principles he may entertain, he is willing to defend them with his life. Col. BLAIR leaves the field of battle for the halls of legislation, and, after discharging his duty to his constitu ents in the House of Representatives, he 'will return to his gallant comrades in Missouri, and continue in the good work so tirilliantly inau gurated, and so vigorously carried forward by the Union men of that-State: Ou confidence in the reliability of the New York Tribune, as a news organ, led us to pub lish its article, purporting to contain a letter from Hon. Joni/M. Bons. We rather doubted its authentiCity at the time, and, although it appeared inlarge type and in the editorial de partment, we reprinted it with some degree of hesitancy. We . now learn from Washington, and tromlhe Tribune itself, that there is not a word of frith in the statements it contained.'

The =mares's arrivals, night and day, of regiments, the ramie, the shouts of the people, and the wonderful order of all these mass es, make up altogether a, spectacle wonderful, most wonderful, to look and to reflect upon. The power of the Government and its resources, and the ready . and generous patriotism of the people, often asserted, have now been almost 'tut raoulonslikirie4. The rollers of Oar repub. . , Scan system, here and in other nations, and those who have laughed at the courage and underraied,the elements of the Northern peo ple, have ceased their gibes, and confess their amazement at this unprecedented spectacle It is Unnecessary to contrast it with what is going On in the South`; to say that the Southern army is a wretched gang of banditti, pledged to plunder and committed to , piracy and treason, and that our army is the most imbstantial, and disinterested, and courageous in the world, if not 'the most eiperiended 'on the earth. For this con trast Is made by an men, and though de nied by the conspirators, has made a fear_ int impression upon them and their Cause. The Teprerentativcs of the people, now gathering in for the Special Session, realize in the presence of this vast army a lesson that they eannot dims , • gird. This army is in fact the great constituency of the nation. It is made up of those who make and unmake Presidents and Congressmen. It is not a combination of serviles Sghting for pay, and 'following a despot'm lead : but a great organiza tion of free men, rich and poor, who • eome forward to maintain their rights, and to • insist upon the preierration of their own government To acoom ;ish this, they will endure every possible priva tion ; ' ;but they will insist that their own servants in Congress and in the . Executive Department of the tiovernment obeli discharge all thole'duties faithfully, and industriously, and promptly. After the three-months volunteers retire, there ir',ll still be in the field two hundred and thirty Jive thousanti troops under the stars and stripes. General Scott is fully convinced that his policy • - it right, and defends it with masterly ability. His motto, seems to be, "We OM afford to wait;''the traitors' fate isonly postponed." Tel there is a moat feyerish anxiety on the part of the troops to , get the word :to:"" advanee." When they do, it will be a fearful and sublime demonstration.

The rebel force consisted of one officer and three men. The officer and one man had die• mounted, and gone to reconnoitre our Ines, leaving the two who were captured to take care of the horses.'

Dr. ELLIS 11170111113, of Georgetown, was arrest ed on Tuesday, while sitting in the shade in front of the White House. The arrest was made by a number of the District detective police, and with out an examination, or an opportunity to defend himself, he was thrown into jail, charged with be ing a spy, where he remained until Friday, when, obtaining an examination, he was immediately discharged.

Fay's BLAIR, of Missouri, was expeoted in the eity last evening, and arrangements were made to give him a serenade at the residenoe of his brother, the Postmaster General. He did act arrive.

Col. Cake's Regiment Ordered Ont. Yesterday Col. Cann's Twentyfifth Pennsyl vania Itegiment• reoeived orders to march. At the hour appointed, tents were stroek, and the regiment formed, in line, with all the tents and equipments toided in large oovered wagons. The appearance of this, the advance regiment of the army, when marching through the Avenue, elicited great praise. The boys went off with elastiC step, under the Impression that they would probably have an opportunity of doing something for their vantry: They join Col. Sycnta's column np the Potomao. From Alexandria. Our messenger from Alexandria, at noon to-day, (Sunday,) reports that, early in the morning, three of the Federal pickets were attacked and tired upon by three Secession pickets on the outskirts of Alexandria. The Federal pickets 'were seriously wounded, but, notwithstanding, they pursued tbe enemy, and shot. them down ere they bad Bed twenty yards. Two of them were killed, and the other seriously wounded. One of the Federal pickets has since died. The Fire Zenaves continue assiduously prosecu ting their labors on "Fort Ellsworth," whioh they are rapidly bringing to completion. Gans have been mounted and tried, much to the satisfaction of the Z'31111,7011. The announcement made by the New York papers that Gen. fdoDowam. was to be superseded by Gen. Dix has been oftlokaly contradicted, and the boys rejoice in the assurance that General MCDOWZLL ID to be retained In the command of the forces on that side of the Potomac. The scouts of the rebel forces are daring and bold in their midnight advances upon the Federal pickets The boys, however, are never caught napping. Two evenings since the Impactor-General in spooted the five regiments now .quartered in the ,vioinity of Alexandria. In one of them he noted an improvement of b 0 per oent., both in persons, appearance and military deportment, since the last inspection, probably referring to the Pennsyl vania Fifth Regiment, which is now being better provided for by the State. The troops were re viewed. by Co!. HZIRTZIRLUAN, and presented an exceedingly fine appearance. The oars are running regularly, passing. twioe a day on the Londoua and Hampshire read, running out to the advance guard of the Connecticut and Ohio regiments. Lieut. Howisos, who bad been, absent with a squad of scouts several days, returned on Friday morning, much to the joy of his friends in the Zonave oamp, who bad fears that be was captured, Lieut. Swiss. has also returned, but their friend Iduaray is still missing. When last seen he was find at by the rebel scents and surrounded, when he disappeared with them in the woods. Forts Runyon.

A diabolical and trold-tdooded murder was per petrated in South Memphis on Monday night.

It appears that Segier was barkeeper for Paul Schuster, la a saloon near the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad depot, and that be bad received into the boom a woman named Margaret Watson and her little son. Du ring the night a neighbor heard a shot fired, and saw several men runniag from the place. Re thought no more of the matter, bearing no alarm, and retired to rest. In the morning, as before stated, the barkeeper was found weltering in his blood. Marks of the,blood near the door indioated that be had either sood in the doorway, or was in the act of leaving it, when he received the fatal shot, and hie steps throughout the house could be plain ly traced by the life-current that gushed from his wound. The footsteps of the woman and her child were imprinted in the blood, and at,Prat it was anppoaed that she had committed the deed. She was arrested; but an investigation of the matter before Pquire plohituton led to her discharge. Who were the assassins is unknown. The woman says Segier went to the door and returned shortly after, exclaiming, " I ant killed!" A sum of money was found upon her person, bat it could not be identified as belonging to theideoeated; and the whole affair is wrapped ia.mystery.

Of all the speeches that I have heard, the spec kegs proclaimed that this , was not a time for talking but for act ing. Yet we have had no motion, except what little will be called so, that we have had in Mis souri. Everybody has said, and I imagine, we have the greatest general of the age—Gen. Soott. /Arid and long applause J There is no question he has the beet sadisms in the world, and it is a matter of surprise that with such a great general with Such fine soldiers, and so many of them, we have not done anything. But I presume it is ell right applause], because the eorrespondents of the newspapers repeat it to us every day that it is all right. And yet the feeling of impatience is a natural one The country is realty suffering that something has not been done ; that this rebellion la allowed to rear its crest and flourish within sight of our Capitol. • I have heard people say, who are disposed to be critical, that it was probably intended to force a compromise by keeping those 100,000 bayonets within one day's march from the capital where Congress is to sit, calculating that men under snob oirotturetances will be more disposed to compromise away this great question. 1" No, no "1 I cannot believe there is any truth inthis suspicion .or sur mise ; but the General in Chief has good reasons for the delay at which we are all so impatient . The result will vindicate his generalship. If, however, it consists with good generalship , to bring on a contest and settle this matter at once ; if prompt action would meet with success at this time, I have no hesitation in saying that it would do vast good to the country. [Cheers . 1 Its bust ] nese interests and the business interests of New York are suffering immensely by thlsenspense. do not think that the greatest captain of the age ought to delay a moment after he is satisfied that we can be successful in assaulting the enemy. 1 do not presume to oritioise military move ments, not being a military man by experience myself ; but even the most Supetlictial . observer must be aware of the immense injury which . the delay is infiloting'upon the country , and the great advantage it would be to us to strike some blow. As for this talk about compromise, I do not believe that the Administration entertains any snob idea It would' be folly in the extreme It would be I the worst thing that could possibly happen under any oircuutstanoes It would sow the seeds of future wars infinitely worse than this, and convert our aountry into a Mexico. to be convulsed .every four years by the adherents of the disappointed Presidential aspirant. • " For my part I am utterly opposed , to any com promise, or any treaty with men in rebellion, with arms in their hands against this Government.

We have not only got the right on our side,'bnt we have the " heaviest battalions and the' heaviest artillery," and I believe that the Administration' entertains no other view than to prosecute the war to the utmost, to bring about a petiole which shall be lasting, because the enemy will have no power to disturb it. [Cheers ] That is the only peace which can last. I am against any negotiation with these traitors, except the cannon's month ; and whoever pots himself forward with a view of negotiating terms between the Government and the traitors with arms in their hands, is, in my opinion, little bet ter than the' traitors themselves flpplaiseJ. no matter what motive may dictate his course. I mean to say that the men who do it may do it with honest motives 7 -they rosy be pure, patriotic, and honest ; but the effect is to give aid and comfort, to give hope to the enemy ; sad whoever does that, inflicts an Nary upon the Government. [Cheers.) It is not my purpose to make a speech. That has not , been my vocation for some time past.

(Laughter and cheers Our nooses in Missouri is, in my opinion, at tributable to. the promptitude and vigor of the movement of Gen. Lyon, an officer who was dis tinguished for his courage and his conduct in . the Mexican war, and in the frontier war, 811105 that time; who has-won, during the- present disturb ances, a most enviable reputation, and deserves the honors which the Administration have given him. Many people think :he deserves still higher honors, which, I hops, the Administration have in reserve for him• 'I have not noticed his name as being promoted in the regular army. . I cannot believe that this is an overeitht On the part of the Administration. I am induced to think that they have tome distinc tion in reserve for him.

IT anything baa been done in Missouri of any moment to the country, advanoing the interests of the Go vernment, it is in a great part due to that gene rosity on the part of the people of this city which enabled these men to go into the field properly equipped, and which added to their efficiency. , I take this occasion, on behalf of these men, the Missouri volunteers, to return thanks to the people of tho city of New York. [Cheers J They have, in fact, taken this war upon their vwn shoulders, supplied the sinews of war, and when victory comes, no matter what general wins It, and no matter . by what men it is achieved, the people of. New York will have their fall abate in it, for they have sup plied the means without which no general, ne men, could have been put in the field.

There are now more than three thousand troops at this pima ; one regiment of fine-looking troops from. Louisiana, and another looked for daily from Texas. In a few days between 4,000 and 8 000 Confederate troops will be stationed alongthis iron tier as far as Texas, besides our State troops. With these troops and those of oar border, and others held in reserve, oar country can be held against any force that may be brought against us. General Ben. McCullough, "the brave fighter " and favorite of this frontier, arrived here a few days ago. He is appointed brigadier general, and takes command of the forces of this Western frontier. lie is also commissioned to raise several regiments of volunteers in the Indian Territory. I am fully convinced that he will have no trouble at all to accomplish this. The five tribes of our led brethren west of here have among them a good many slaves ; no country richer and more beauti ful west of the Mississippi •, none' better adapted to the use of slave labor than theirs. They con sider themselves Southern men, and sympathise with the South. Their chiefs and leading men say they will fight far their Souther,' brethren. Tney.are a brave race of people, and will make fine warriors. The Chickasaws, Cbcotaws, Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles, and probably some more of the Indian tribes, IF all are Invited to attend, will hold a grand council on the 24th inst., for the purpose of forming a treaty with each other, and also to enter into a treaty with the lion. Albert Pike, oommis stoner on the Dart of the Confederate States; who passed through here the ether week to visit ttte different tribes. He Is authorised to pledge 'to them the same privileges, rights and annuities when linked to the Southern Confederacy, as they enjoyed under the old' Confedersey. They say that they will never permit this country to be in vaded by an Abolition army. They together with our troops, will be sufficient to send Jim Lane with his Abolition cohorts " to the happy land of Ca naan.'P Another regiment is stationed north and west of bare on the Missouri and Indian line, and near Kansas. Those troops here, together with others, will be stationed there and 'at Forts Cobb, Wa shita, and other important points. From what we San learn of the movements of the Federal troops, they evidently design an attack on the frontier; that this will be the great battle ground of the West.
