No great people (BP ever lAelevated to the lull consciousness of iredhstiny, or to a lull • , I tentr t atfir — D rWeir duties, until they are made to realize the gravity of the one, and the exacting severity of the other. Two weeks ago I felt confident that we were as strong in a military sense, as we were irresistible in the logic of our cause ; that, in fact, we were so clearly right, and our foes so confessedly wrong, that no human power could prevail against our arms. One week ago, this very morning, I almost anticipated the reverse which took place on the evening of that day, because, in tbe meanwhile, I had learned enough, to lead me to doubt the pellee of an attack upon the enemy's strong holds in Virginia. I said last Sunday.; t: The advantage of the traitors over4he gular Government is considerable, in ithe fact that they have !elected their own grtnind, and can draw supplies from RichinoncV6i direct railroad lines. Our troops must reach the field by long and painful marches, carrying subsistence, &c., with them." • It was precisely this advantagevn the, one side and this disadvantage on the other'which lost us the day. My comments upon the battle of Manassas have induced some of my most partial readers to complain. lam charged, in some quarters, with having lost my usual confidence in our ultimate triumph, and because I tell the whole truth - to my countrymen, find myself censured in others, for giving a gloomy view of the balare. My reply is: This is no time for latiehood or for fancy, in weighing our re sponsibility to the great questions before us. The A•nerican people must know the worst, in order to do the best. They are'nOt fools, to be gulled by weak lies—nor children, to be tickled with toys. They are the inheritors of a great estate, and, if they are to be its invin. cible defenders, they must be taught its enor. mous value, by having exposed to them the efforts and the designs of those who are pre. _paring to steal this estate from them. My error has been that, because I believed in the Divine protection to our Republic, and in the intrinsic merits of our movement, and in prayerful devotion of our people to the Re public, I never suffidently calculated that the appeal to pat down such a cause could arouse so much feeling in the South ern States. ( am now convinced that the petjurers and assassins of the. Southern Confederacy have been able to delude the Southern people into a temporary confidence in the justice of their treason ; and therefore it is that I prefer plain talk to my readers as better than the pastime of harmonious sen- tences and high-soundmg adjectives. We can only forever put down this rebellion by deal. ing fraouly with each other, and by preparing in the most comprehensive manner for other conflicts. I do not accept the Battle of Manassas so much as a defeat as an Admonition—a Lesson —a chastisement for our complacent reliance upon the virtue of our own cause, and our over confidence in the prowess of our troops. In this view it will prove more beneficent than a dozen victories. If this capital is saved from capture and spo liation ; - --if the President and the Cabinet, the Lieutenant General and the Congress, and the devoted friends of the Union, have been rescued from arrest, and, probably, from an ignominious death—for there is no mercy in the assassins at the head of the Southern Con federacy to those who stand by the American flag—that has not resulted so much from our strength as from the weakness of our enemies after the conflict of Sunday last. The capital safe, what is next to be done ? Peace is rendered more than ever impossible by the victory of the enemy. They now boast that they will hern us in within this ten-mile square; and in our streets and public places, in the hotels and houses of Congress--yes, even in our pulpits—they heap scorn upon the flag of our tethers, deride the lessons of the Revolution, attack the Constitntion, and inso lently defy the public authorities. Mr. Brack inridge threatens the President from his place in the Senate, surpasses Ithett and Yancey in the violence of his denunciations of the pre parations to prclierve the Government, and openly visite ihe. Secession prisoners in our jails, holding familiar conversation with them. Mr. Burnett and Mr. Valleedignam obediently follow his example in the House. I know that in many a private residence in this city these demonstrations are applauded, and the defeat of our army celebrated with ecstatic Bourne Has. These parties are not alone hostile to all free government, not merely the infuriated foes of the United States, but they are inflated with the belief that the war commenced upon the authority of the Government will close in their complete triumph. When the Federal power is fully restored at this point, and when the m‘jeaty of the law can no longer be insulted with impunity, it will be the drat duty of the President and of General McClellan to root Out all covert arid overt treason from every community over which the fl r,g of our country is permitted to float, beginning with Wash ington. This duty, rigorously discharged, will, however be preceded by demonstrations of far greater consequence. It is especially that we may be prepared for those demonstra tions that . I have ventured to speak in such candid language in this correspondence. Andrew Johnson, on Saturday last, in pro bably the boldest speech ever made in the United States Senate, stated his understand ing of the duty of the Federal Government to the loyal men of the Southern States. After showing that the whole object of the rebellion was to establish a monarchy in the Southern States, and atter describing, with' wonderful skill and clearness, the aristocratic proclivities of Davis and his accomplices, he stated that if free government was to be main tained in Eastern Tennessee ; if the .patriots in that section wore to be delivered from their blood thirsty tyrants, the Government must send arms and ammunition to his people, and that too at the earliest moment. Under any circumstances, be said, they will continue to contend for freedom, and will die, .if they must, hurling defiance at their oppressors. Tile Government appreciates the necessity ot prompt action; but at tae very moment when Tennessee asks Its aid, Kentucky, through some of her Union men, asks that the soil of Kentucky should not be used to convey arms to East Tennessee until the August election is decided. There is in tact no way of reach ing that part of Tennessee save overland through Kentucky. Meanwhile, the loyal men of Kentucky, Western. Virginia, and Missouri, are demanding the protection of the Govern ment against their local Secession despots. This protection has been, and is being given, so far as the obstacles of the times will ad mit ; but there remain many wants unsupplied and many grievances unredressed. It is unnecessary to repeat that , to defend these brave men is probably the very first of the obligations of the Administration. The free navigation of the Mississippi de mands not only a large increase of the North western army, but the immediate constrnc- Mon of gureboats, to co-operate with this force, and to capture- the batteries fortifying both sides of that great river for hundreds of miles from the city of New Orleans. Happi ly, tbis portion of the programme has been confided to the, guardian care of that able leader, Major General John Cbarlet(Frimont. It will tax all his wonderful ability and great resources. The blockade or trte.secedistklpo ;40 4 be a effective, must be not paper, - biit , .iirr.armed blockade. will retinue, an enormous augmentation of the whole naval marine. It done vigoronily, it 741 -checkmate OE :designs of the traitors, „iFul tettele4.the European Powers the commanding folly of seeking to reopen the cotton trade by recognizing the Southern Confederacy; and it will leave this lattor, and all concerned in it, to the tender mercies of their own interns/ factions. W have, in fact, tittle to hope for fi•om the Eu ropean Powers. EverytbinAitroii the people, but really nothing from their rulers; and no thing will prevent hl3 rulers from striking a blow at our fresloinstilutions, under the cover of o pening ,pie - trade of the South with their ports; but the evidence of a determine tiOllNOn the part of the present Administration Oethe A.merican" Government to maintain a military and naval blockade of the most vigorous, vigilant, and extensive character. The protection of our frontiers, of our Ter ritories, of the Indian reservations, of our groat international thoroughfares, of the coast bordering on California and Oregon, and all tile loyal and tree States, add to the urgency of this demand, and increase alike the respon sibility of the people and of their public ser vants. And after all comes the question of money— the ways and means. The Southern conspira tors rely greatly on our failure to raise money for a campaign so vast and for objects so grand. They argue, through their sympa thizers hero, that with Europe against us, and the prostrated condition of all the elements of foreign and domestic trade, we can never se cure the credit essential to carry na safely through. This argument is based upon the fallacy that the loyal people have no heart in this war—a fallacy to which the lie is given a thousand times a day. There will be vexation and delay, of course, in the management of the finances of this great movement ;- but with a vigorous Adminis tration, a patriotic Congress, and a fear less and conscientious press to maintain the noblest cause that ever aroused the sympathies .of mankind, we shall get more credit, and more money than we require. Capital, like labor, will soon realize that when the Go•. verntnent of the United Sates is overthrown by a gang of pirates, whose creed is a corn pound of Repudiation, Robbery, and Human Slavery, there is no safety or employment for either on this continent, and little in any othesipation for hundreds of years to come— tor when our stars fail from the firmament, there can be no stable Constitutional Govern ment anywhere else. Such is the destiny and the duty before us. How awful and how darkening the one—how terrible yet how sublime the other ! In con sidering our relations to these mighty objects, does it not seem futile to employ any other argument but that of reason Is it not crimi. nal to aid in deceiving others by theories we do not ourselves believe ? OooAstortax. American ell/Zeno in the South. The hatred felt by those who now control the affairs of the seceded States for the United States Government, and for all citizens of Northern birth and affiliation, is indescriba bly bitter and Intense. Thousands of men hare been pressed into their armies whose feelings and sympathies are entirely with the supporters of the Union. And the penalty imposed upon those who were unfortunate enough to seek a temporary home in the South for refusing to enlist under their infa mous banner, has not only been cruel parse cotton and severe puniShment, but, lu some well attested cases, a barbarous death. A gentleman born in this city, who, after re siding some four years in the South, escaped here, by the assistance of kind friends, about a month ago, recently informed us that the Vigilance Committee which proposed to punish him for the crime (1) of refusing to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, had under consideration three plans. One was to imprison him until another regiment left for the seat of war, and then to compel him to follow it un- , der strict guard ; another was to hang him at once ,• another was to cover him with a coat of tar and feathers, stick it full or splinters and then set fire to this combustible material. The latter suggestion, being the most inhuman, was best adapted to the taste of his persecu tors, and would probably have been adopted it his flight had not closed this characteristic debate. The aborigines of our country, with all their savage instincts, were angels of mercy when compared with the leading spirits among the insurgents. It has never been seriOnsly proposed in a single case in the North to com pel any civilian residing among us, who was born in the South, or had numerous friends and relatives there, to take - up arms aeainst hie will in defence of the —epl h ..C. P O M officere of the army and navy, to Whose ser vices in the hour of peril the nation had ac quired a clear and indisputable title, which no man of honor should disregard; ;by educating and supporting them for a=long series of years, and guarantying to do so ,ilaring their whole lives if they did not, disgrace themselves by misbehavior, have been permitted to resign, and no effort whatever has been made to de tain them, although in some instances it has been well known that they were about-to use the skill they had acquired in our schools and our service to assist the insurgents. Another feature of the present state of affairs in the South is worthy of remark. The only sort of passport which is relied upon as an efficient protection, is one from a foreign consul certifying that the bearer is a citizen of a foreign country. It is no longer possible for citizens of Northern birth to return to their homes under passports from & uthern Governors without encountering great per sonal risks. Not only has all affection or re gard for the Government and faithful citizens of the nation been crushed out among those who sympathize with Secession, but they de light to vent their malice and hatred upon en. offending individuals, and to persecute all Northern men :whe are not connected with their armies, or in some other way employed in: assisting their military movements. No parallel to this feeling exists among us. We war only against those who are in arms against the Government, and would no more think of persecuting a man simply because he was born in Georgia or Alabama than because he was born in Massachusetts or Ohio. Bet when we consider that in ten States of this Republic, which have fattened upon its boun ty, and owe to its assistance and protection all the prosperity they have ever enjoyed, all faithful American citizens who were born north of Mason and Dixon'a line are hunted down like wild beasts and treated with fiendish ferocity, and that in this traitor-ridden section nothing bat the passport of a foreign consul secures protection, we find in this state of affairs ,-a, strong reason, in addition to those which are well known and daily cemrneuted upon :for a vigorous prosecution of the present war, and the puniehment of the bitter enemies of our, institutions and our countrymen, who seek to usurp dominion over ball the Repub. lic. Until the American flag floats over our whole country, and is recognized throughout its length and breadth as an emblem of power and a guarantee of protection, the prevent con test mustand will be maintained at all hazards. The day must Oome when not only our soldiers but peaceful and unoffending civilians can tread in safety and without molestation every foot of American soil.

WE AIM at length enabled to understand the proportions of this rebellion, and to appreciate more fully the duty which devolves upon the cilizens‘of the Republic. The disaster of the 21st has presented the issue of the hour before us in the plainest and most unmistakable manner. It will never do to underrate an enemy, and we certainly think the disposition of the North has heretofore been to despise too greatly its opponents, and to rely on its own resources in a vain spirit of security and self confidence. We have forgotten that this rebellion is not the creation of an hour—that it did not arise from the complications of one year, or the excitements of another—that it was not caused by the issues or the results of any party campaign, and that it could not be attributed to the success or defeat of any assumed political principle. This treason is not a mere harvest, to come up in the spring and pass away in the summer months. It has grown for long years—it has branched forth its poisonous boughs; and twined its roots around the foundation-stones of the Union. It has been sheltered by the protecting shade of the Constitution, and nourished by those whom the people bad placed over the Constitution as its custodians and defenders, aid when the guns of BEAUBAGAILD opened on Fort Sumpter he was representing a rebellion whose leaders had been engaged in twenty years of.prepara- Um), and whose plans were at length ready to be carried into execution: The Rebel leaders have been insidiously laboring to corrupt public sentiment, for only by a corrupted publie sentiment could they hope to make anything like totticcessful re sistance. It is not natural lonmen to commit treason, no more than it is natural for them to commit arson, piracy, or counterfeiting. We love a good Government as we love our pro perty, our persons, or the honor of our name, and for the protection of its laws we are willing to render it obedience. The feel ing of loyalty grows with our education, and becomes a part of our nature, and only can be overthrown by the long e and persistent ef forts of able, trusted, and unprincipled leaders. This generation of Southern men are carry ing out the teachings of the last generation, and so far as the mere invention of theories dangerous to the peace of the land is con cerned, the real traitors of the Southern Con federacy are in their graves. In confronting this rebellion, therefore, we may as well understand that it is a rebellion long matured, ably managed, and the inspira tion of the most desperate and determined counsels. This fact only shows us the magni tude of the task before us, and does not at all affect either its necessity or its justice. A rebellion is none the less treasonable as the result of thirty years' preparation than, if it had been planned yesterday and was being carried into execution to-day. There is but one duty, and that is the ditty of crushing it. If it can be done in one year so much the better; If it requires three years, three years be it then. If it will cost but a hundred mil lions of dollars, let us be thankful; if a mil lion of millions, let us be satisfied. If a thou sand lives are to be lost, let us give a thou sand—and if more, there are more anxious and willieg to be eflertd up. We speak thus because we are desirous that the people should know precisely what lies before them. We are in a cause sugh as has never borrowed the pen of the historian or I entered into the imagination of the romancer or poet. We are about to purify this Govern ment. We are wiping away the errors and sins of a past generation, so that, when eur children come to us, they will come to a Go vernment strengthened and defended, and to institutions based upon virtue and liberty. What sacrifice can be asked that we will not give ? for there is something in this cause above lifo and money, or anything which life can enjoy or money give. We long for peace, but not a dishonorable peace, and that peace, will be dishonorable which can only be made by sacrificing our own self respect, and leaving a beritage of dishonor to our children and our children's children.

PROBE WASHINGTON. Correepondeho of The Pram] WASHINGTON, July 29, 1891. In this correspondence, I. have repeatedly al- I aded to the dangers which are covertly existing in many portions of. Northern society. It woula be'idie for ne to deny that theme are men in-Phila delphia, as well as in other populous and comma'. dial districts of the North, who are not at all friend. ly to the Adminietration. and only so because they know that the Administration represents the peo ple of the nation, and in carrying out its measures it is but carrying out whift the voice of the nation Imperatively demands, These people are the ene. miles of the North from a variety of reasons. They are attached to the South by interest, by relation ship, and, by sympathy. Many of them have targe seine owing them in the Southern States, which have been lost by repudiation. Peace might b - ing their debtor's to terms, and so that they re elver their dishonored notes, what do they care for a diebonored Union? Many of them have relatives is the South, and the natural feeling of relationship squires them to the interests of those relatives, while others are attached by sympathy to the realism principles of the rebels, and a fondness far that aristocratic way of life which oasts such a charm over Southern Kaki morrows, and is into. parable from their peculiar system of society. In addition to these people, there are the desperatt and bad men, who buitt in ell communities, end who only lcok upon every national trial as a mere opportunity to make an additional pecuniary apecalation or farther their selfish and ambitions schemes. There will always ho demagogues so long ae position is to be obtained, and enemies to she pesos EC/ long as money is to be made. And it 'be purpose of these men is to be served by under mining the Administration, and breaking up the Cabinet, and paralyzing the hands of the Govern ment, they will milks the attempt. Whether that parpoae can be served or not it would be to consider too curiously for me to say. Hat I am aonfideet that the attempt is being spade, and that its authors are making their thunder out of the artillery at Manassas. Look at the on. elaught of the New York politicians and specula• tors upon the Government. Look at the attempt which your people in Philadelphia are making to demoralize the army because- General Patterson was honorably disoharged from Harper's Ferry said General Cadwalader cannot obtain a division And the very men who are engaged in this base and groundless intrigue are the men who, all during the days of peril watch succeeded the capture of Fort Sumpter, had no word of sympathy for an im perilled Union, and instead of talking treason in the streets, retired to plot and dwelt upon it in their library. Those political bankrupt have their fortunes to retrieve. They can have no future In a regenerated Republic, and to pie vent the work of regeneration is their daily prayer and purpose. .What sympathy have they. with General Patterson Or.Geperal Cadwalader ? What's Romani to him or he to Hecuba ?" And yet the tears of their lamentation fall thick and fast. The talent letter of General John B Wool to the New York committee will have the same effect although I cannot think it was prompted by any such motive. General Wool is a gallant sol dier and an honest and good, although a rash, in discreet, and (as hie letter abundantly shows) a vain and ambitions man. lie has been carried away by the intoxication of New York flattery, and, under the fearful and pernicious inspiration of the harpies of New- York, he has been led to commit the first Etn of the soldier, and to gratify his own feelings and passions by disrespect to, his superior °piers. I do not• believe that the Ad• ministration has any desire to ignore his great mili tary qualities, bat certainly the fittest place to display them id 1110 t iu the columns of a newspaper. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but few soldiers mu drop the sword and wield the pen gracefully. General Wool is not of that few. Lot me say one thing to the people of the North. You have a country to save, and it can only be saved by the utmost unanimity of feeling and purity of purpose. Throw away these re se and feeble issues. Let AO rise to the malady of the hour, and not be forever grovelling among the personalities and disputes which so often bring disgrace upon ourselves, and division into our 0012138e1.9. When,the country is in danger we have no time to dwell on every petty pereinael grief, or to enter into each little dispute whioh the vanity of one soldier or the ambition of another may seek to foroe upon us. When Rome has been saved, it will be time enough to follow either the banner of Cm ler or the banner of Antony.

The question of increasing the army is being discuated by the members of Oongresit.

Ohio or your citizens of Pennsylvania. The election, it is thought, Will be largely for the Union. Mr Senator Breckin'ildge will then be compelled to choose the alternatiee of holding a seat in the Senate in defiance of tne wishes of hie State. and of the people of the country.

The execu tion of this semi:retie will depend solely upon us; eons of State, and Mr DAVIS may rest assured that among those reasons his menace of retribution will have no place. This question, however, is one of minor importance, and its decision can in no way affect the policy of the Government or the purpose whtoh that polloy foreshadows. It is now generally understood that Mr. Ma ven and Mr. Harris, who went into the Seceesion country to obtain the body of Colonel James Came ron, are detained as prisoners bylenerarlleatire gard. Mr Burch, their companion, bee hirien re leased by an sat of special favor, and has returned. Mr. Burch was taken at Fairfax Court - House, and he is of opinion that his companions have no obance of being released. That any injury will be done to them, cannot believe. Theylare not even prisoners of war. They went to Virginia on an errand of mercy, and under no posnible com ,plio'tion can they bo enbjeoted to the penalties which any extreme measure of retaliation would lead the Richmond raters to inflict on prisoners of war. It is slid they are detained by General Beauregard because he does not desire any in formation of hie military operations to reach the War Department. What a lesson does this teach oar own Government, and what a oontrast do we present to the vigilant and sagacious rebels ! Gore, in Washington, treason may stroll into the President's mansion, place its oar to the key-hole of every Department, and convey every necessary item of information to Richmond It is well that we should be magnanimous and merciful, bat when our magnanimity and mercy are abused to our own injury they are no longer virtues.
