The '%Var'NLZva.
The news of the raid into Western Pennsyl
vania assumed rather formidable proportions
.this morning, if there is any reliance to be
placed in the rumors we &ye from the West.
It is stated that a force of 12,000 rebels were in
Western Virginia, and that great °Consternation.
prevails among the people along the borders of
:,Pennsylvania;.„ Whateyerlmay be the .move
ments in the, West,they are thoroughly un
derstood by the Government, and we haye every
assurance from semi-official sources, that f ttre
.;War Department is . fully prepared to meet any
*Merger:my that may arise. , Troops are even
now being concentrated to counteract this move
merit
of the rubel.—a movement entirely made
:to draw Gen.. Hooker fronadiie attack. on Rich
mc6d, and attract hie army to a point as far riff
as rebel anxiety may deem:" necessary fot the
safety of the rebel capital.
The attack on Charleston haabeen fixed to
take piece' to-morrow, Suird#;*Eiy S, 1863. It
is arranged that thu o ccOfned . naval and land
forces shall move on, the works defending the
city, assail and cirry each and all of them, when
of course that pestilential nest of treason will
fall into the hands of our, troops. It might
have redounded to the credit of .a Chistian gov
ernment to select some other day than the Sab
bath for this grand movement, but perhaps the'
batter day the better deed, and therefore let us
hope that when the sun guee down nn Charles
ton, S. C., tomorrow night, its last effulgent
ray will gild the Staii and Stripes as they float
in. triumph . over the ruins of the birth-place Of
treason. ,

ty. Dile knowledge has put an eud to our
boasting. Our armi. en .w move, but the peo
ple do not run off into extravagant calculatiubs
of what we intend to do. We are rather wil
ting to bide the propr,r time of th 3 blow, and
be prepared for the result which may follow,
whether that be victory or defeat. This exp ri
ence, in the language of a cottni porary , has taught
the public to look seriously and thoughtfully
upon the war, and measure its magnitude more
accurately, and to consider its possible contin
gencies. A better appreciation of the task be
fore them has sobered the judgment, without
diminishing confidence in the ultimate re
sult. It has also made them earnest in provid
ing means adequate to the task, so that the
armies which now go into the field are the best
appointed, most numerous, and the beet dis
ciplined which 'mire ever yet been . . precipitated
against! the foe. It is the vastness and corn
pleteness of these proportions which make suc
cess seem within the compass of our armies'
efforts- Still it is not forgotten that the rebels
have been making exertions equal to our own,
and that they, too ; • have, ell appointed armies,
brave soldiers, experienced generals, and that
the fortunes of war turn upon so many acci
dents, that success cannot bs certainly predica
ted in advance upon any movement. The pub
lic mind being now better balanced, will not be
so extravagantly affected either by success or
1 disaster. -.A single turirof good fortune will not
lead them into the error of supposing. the re
bellion to be crushed, nor will a single defeat
desttoy their belief in the possible and ultimate
downfall of the rebellion.
The District Provost Marshals.
Thus far we have notr heard of an appoint
ment as Provost Marshal in any of the Con
gressional districts in this State to which we
would take exceptions. Notwithstanding,
however, there are many appointees with whom
we are not sufficiently acquainted either to make
an exception or tender a commendation. Time
must prove , whether , such as these are fitted for
the position. We trust that the Government
has searched every community fur the very, hest
men to fill these positions, for certain It is that
the power, hus nested will be the most delicate,
absolUte and important ever wielded by men
holding subordinate positions under the Gov
eisment; 'llfitt power can 'be abused' in two
ways- 7 -first, it can neglected to the injury
of,thdiaiiverhnient ; and secant, it can be ex
aggerated to the oppression of ,the 'people.
Hence the importance of investing good 'men
with such authority. An indiscreet man, thus
clothed, could rashly inflame an entire com
munity, and incresse,..an evil ,which he was
delegated to counteract.- A judgment-lacking
officer,' acting' under such authority, could
idly throw away the security of an entire dis
triet;ly failing In the exercise ;of atisripower
through a want of -an appreciation of its mag
nitude and importance. Hence, we repeat
our solicitude as to whether the Government
has secured 'the very' best material for such
positions. A.failure to have done eo will apt
with a deleterious infineriee on the success of
the 4raft. It - taunt be understood that the mans
of the people are willing td submit to that
draft, however, heavy it, may fall upon their
pospects In a pecuniary or a domestic sense.
But - while this is true, it must not be for
golten that there are
~Igge Class of men
who are secretly organising to resist that draft,
and , who would toe, with terrible effect, the
first act of indiscretion, or seeming oppression,
by the officers charged with its enforcement.
A free , people are. jealous of_ the enforcement of ,
anything in t the !shape of a military order. In
its mildest has ad air of vigor and
force about it which . is distasteful. Decision,'
firmnititifil . rind AliStice Will alone command is
greet in such cases. If the officer thus charged
-With= this duti , betrays= weakness, or if he le
vascilating, indulging-in acts of petty tyranny,
I or lauds himself bY.constantly displaying his
pOWer, his governmenf and himself will be ex
' need to danger, and riot might follow where
order, andobedience should prevail.

In which, the Doctor Dimmed the Cop
perhead Distinction bet Ween the Gov
ernment and the Administration.
The Doctor is a-man of large study, great
observation, eminently pions, and a thorough
Wriut. The infirmities of age have made visi
ble inroads on his. physical powers:, but fail to
effect an intellect of much more than ordinary
strength. A sound - thinker, and an interested
spectator of passiog events, hie opinions are
worthy of the record I make of them. The
reader must become familiar with the Doctor
through his words, for in es,imating iris char.
acter I feel as if I were in the pasition of the
counter scales when they attempted to give the
weight of the eleven-inch cannon ball—not
quite equal it. The 'Doctor has, no opinions
that he is afraid to express, and may, by man
agementihe induced to converse on almost any
subjeCt.
This will account for the variety of topics
.discussedla these papers.
t
I was examining the fine military map which
has a conspicuous place in the Doctor's library,
elide the Doctor himself was engaged in some
business with Captain'Soale. The business
despatched, the conversition turned upon na
tional affairs.
The Captain is not a captain at this time,
but like the almost martyred Colonel, tondays
tzenator from New Jersey, did hold a position
in the balmy days of, peace and.annual musters,
and retains the etitle. He is a pleasant looking
man, with a cheerinl face, but an unfortunate
way Of-sneering depreciatingly at every allusion
'Wale BUCO6IB of oar arms or the efforts of the
Government. Being reproved rather sharply
for this by the Dcctor, the 'Captain •by ',Met
excuse, expressed his sentiments tittle , stereo-
type language of the sham Dintioeriley.
"Yon supPbtt they Government, but oppose
the LithditiatritiOtt,'litaid the Doctor, tepeat-
Mg, the Captlithi'vords. '"Then you make a
di:auction liditirtseiriwo things that have no
separate existence in fact 2"
The Captain thought theie wets a great deal
of difference between the two if' the Dcctor
chose to examine it.
"I define Govermkent," 'staid the Doctor, "as

o g, ' Then you claim:as-a right something, that,
doss not exist,'.- saidythu,Doctormarrnly.,- Your
public leaders have openly declared their hue
-**locked t
tility to the vernmeht on these ground -to
the great eni t iVassmeut of the cause. If ey
are sinc'erit;t * Ur:kW up for eir
ignorance—or, if tlity d. Ett) for political effect,
(a more likely motive,) their treason should be
punished. In a war ; dec!artd, whether
rt bdlion or atg.itt , tit a foreign p twer.
the Government has a right to tie support of
all its people. Every man must E l iprtrt the
measures necessary to br•ng the war to a sue
cessful termination. To oppose or to embar
rass the Government in any way, is to give aid
And comfort to the enemy, and i• treason.—
The executive is in his position by the necessary
operlition of the Constitution, and is compelled
to make every tffort and use every mean to
make tbti laws supreme over the whole land.
In this work he must have, and I believe has
the support of all loyal citizens—for, in the
language of Douglas, "Every man to ust be for
or against the United States Government.—
There can be no neutrals in this war ; only , pa
triots and traitors."
" You certainly do not m ean Doctor, that
all who withold their suppor.. . the admin
istration are disloyal to the LrlS7-3 , .."
"The conclusion is Inevitable replied the
Doctor. "To distinguish between the Govern
inent and the administration is a humbug. To
pretend that the adininistration is a party con
cern,and therefore may beopposed is a pretence
gotten lip to diniinish its" resibthig force in the
struggle:against rebellion. Many men of am& I
ficaltirs who get their opinions ready made
from their party leaders - may be oilskin) in Say
ing so, but the effect is disloyalty nevinti(eless.
The natter is straggling for tts life. It is cow
ardly and irielcnsable to withold your assist
ance in its defence, on the pretence that you
do not like those who are most prominent in
the cause. Their efforts, are for the preserva
tion of national existence. The cause is yours
—is every man's. And there is no escape from
the conclusion, that the man who cannot, and
does not support them heartily, is disloyal to
bis country and in favor of its enemies: That
the distinction which you make between the
Government • and the Administration is mere
pretence, may be abundantly proved by observ
ing the men who make it. In nine cases out
of ten they, rejoice over rebel successes and na
tional reverses. They deride our Generals and
hold up the-leaders of the rebellion as the em
bodiment of military science, and make no
secret of their sympathy for the South."
The Captain was somewhat offended at the
Doctor's plain language, and said something
about the "freedom of speech" as he took his
bat to leave. His subsequent visits to the Doc
tor were, however, frequent, and other conver
sations upon prominent national topics will be
reported.
