HARRISBURG, PA. Saturday Afternoon, April 21, 1861. NO SABBATH IN WAR Such has been the custom governing the dis cipline and•concentration of forces for bellig erent purposes. No Sabbath in war! May we not offer an objection to this custom, and plead Jot.. the observance for the Sabbath. War itself is sufficiently barbaric and anti• Christian with out an utter disrespect of the Sabbath. Re member the Sabbath day, and keep it holy, is a divine injunction, with which the policy of `no Sabbath in war" can have no effect. For this purpose we suggest that the camp to-morrow be closed to all idle intruders, that large Crowds be prevented from congregating in the vicinity, and that the sanctity of the Sabbath - be maintained as strictly as possible by the of . fleeirh in charge of Camp Curtin. It is no in terference thus to urge the observance of the iSibixtth on our brave defenders, as we believe that they themselves desire a day of repose and reflection, which they cannot enjoy if they are to le' disturbed by the intrusion of idle visitors. THE SAFETY OF THE CAPITAL. The news which we published this morning fir regard to the safety "of the Capital, was cheering and satisfactory to the readers of the .TIELKGRAPIL It has been the secret design of the traitors to get, possession of all the property belonging to the Government in Washington, occupy its departments, and then proclaim them selves the government ide tado of the kUnited States. The ?act heretofore stated of the willing ness with which Southern Senators and Represen tativeshave voted money to embellish thecity of Washington, to enlarge and improve its limits, to add to the extent and magnificence of its public structures, is now explained by the open declaration that this money, amounting to mil lions already, and requiring millions more to complete these designs, was voted simply be cause L it was expected that Washington city would become eventually the Capital of a Southern Confederacy. Unfortunately for the South, this base and cowardly calculation was frustrated by the action of the Administration, and Washington city is now entirely safe from their piratical designs. This is not perhaps the proper time to sug gest terms of settlement in this difficulty, but the necessity is fast forcing itself on the convic tion of the people of the free States that the limits of slavery must be curtailed within the vicinity of Washington city. The Capital of the nation must be open to the freemen of that nation without the necessity of passing through slave territory. The past three months have taught the people of this country a lesson which they must apply in the settlement of this ques tion. The Capital must be free to the ingress and egress of freemen, MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. In this melancholy state of telegraphic communication between the Capital and the North, why not run a light cable from Perrys ville to Annapolis, or across the Bay, so as to connect with lines in Delaware? If this were done we should have a safe and reliable line. It is believed that the necessary cable could easily be procured in New York, and put into working order in the shortest time. The im portance of such an enterprise cannot be esti mated. We make the suggestion at the in stance of the Piesident of our Telegraph Com pany in this place, and have the fullest confi dence in its practicability. RICHARD COULTBR The Eleventh Regiment of Pennsylvania vol unteers have elected this gentleman their Lieu- Unapt Colonel. Col. Coulter had offered the services of the Westmoreland Guards, and was therefore already enlisted for the campaign. The promotion to the Colonelcy was sponta neous on the part of the regiment, and is a a compliment as creditable to those who be stowed it as it was deserved by the recipient. During the Mexican war Col. Coulter served as a private In the Westmoreland Guards, and he arida comes forward, relinquishing an =ten. elve law practice and the most important busi stess interests, to march to the defence of his country and the vindication of its majesty and WWI. _nn'Dzrraaaxca betwein the army in the South atutin the North is, that in the South they force men under arms, while in the North men volunteer. Those who refuse to enlist, are driven from the chivalric soil—those who are too old, have their property seized in lien of service, while those who fly rather thanraise tux arm to strike the nationality they love, have all they own confiscated to the ruthless lies of treason. This difference must be es phdned some day, and bitter will be the re coning from these outrages. Tas Naw Yoax TRIBUNE cautions those who have the disbursemen of the war fund is that State to be careful in all their accounts, and says further "let those who handle patriotic funds be watched. It will do no harm. It may do some good." The advice applies all over the states that have appropriated so lav ishly to defend the country. Let those who handle these funds remember that their ac count) will be carefully scrutinized. The mon ey of the people, given for patriotic purposes, And not be thrown away on speculators. TEE NORTH AMERICAN AND ITS MILI TARY FASTIDIOUSNESS. IF, in a crisis, the country was compelled to depend upon the theorist, its practical opera tions would be both limited and useless. It is an easy task, too, for a man to remain in the ease and luxury of a sanctum, and there write long criticisms upon what others are endeavoring to perform for the good of the country, under the moat trying circumstances. These were our Impressions after reading a long article in the North American, of this week, which was writ ten apparently with the deliberate design of canting disgrace on the State of Pennsylvania, and bringinging its military energies and re sources into disrepute. Aside from this, it was supplying the Breckenridge press of Pennsyl vania, the semi-official organs of the South, with the very material of attack in which they no longer had courage to indulge, but which they seized with peculiar avidity, because it came from so respectable a newspaper as the North Antatiszn. The organization and disciplining of a large body of wen, fresh from the field, the mine and the workshop, is a work of stupendous magni tude, and particularly when the public mind is excited to the highest degree for the public safety. If the brave men who left their avo cations, theirhomes and their firesides, did not meet the exquisite taste of the North American critic, or if their appearance, blackened with the dust of labor, shocked his sensitive nerves, he should never venture beyond the portals of his sanctum, because in Pennsylvania the char acter of such men give credit to the Common wealth, and the dust which covers their faces is esteemed as the jewelry of that labor which has made, perhaps, this fastidious critic and his ancestors comfortable during their lives. Brass buttons and bright epaulettes do not constitute a soldier, anymore-than petty fault-finding and misrepresentation are the true quajities of an impartial critic. So far as the state authorities are concerned, they deserve the fairest credit for the prompt ness with which they have been acting in this crisis. In the organization of the military, they were governed entirely: by the pressure from Washington, and their efforts to satisfy the public. The, sensation press of Philadel phia were exaggerating the danger and de manding the forwarding of troops, even with out arms and equipments, and now to write the least of it, it was harsh and ungrateful in the North American thus to attack these men. And so far as Camp Curtin is concerned, what Is said in the article referred to, is entirely false. There is of course great activity in the camp, which the .North American - mistook for confusion. Every effort that mac could make has been made, to insure the success of Penn sylvania's contribution of men to assist in maintaining thi law. Those who cannot dis cover the order and precision of these move ments are ignorant of military discipline. So far as Camp Curtin is concerned, we speak frdza observation, and do not hesitate in pronounc ing it one of the most orderly and rigidly con ducted military encampments ever organized in the State of Pennsylvania. _ NATIONAL INSANITY. It was the remark of that profound reasoner, Bishop Butler, that entire nations, like indi viduals, are subject to-fits •of insanity. Who that observes the present condition of the pub lie mind in this country can doubt that we are now suffering from the access of a popular phrenzy which threatens to steal away.tie good sense for which our countrymen have hereto fore been distingniahed in, every walk of life ? Not only are the. arta of peace exchanged in many quarters for the trade of war, but as if to write in ineffaceable characters the self.con demning record of the infatuation under which the people are acting, whole communities pro ceed in a transport of rage to destroy the sour ces of their prosperity. Who can calculate the injury which the city of Baltimore has done to her own population within the last few days I' In seeking to block up the avenue of communi cation between many States of the Union and the Federal Capital, she has at least succeeded most effectually in destroying the railroad con= nections which are most important to the busi ness facilities and interests of her own citizens. Some seltdestroying fury would deem to be the presiding genius of the hour, but we have too much faith in the returning judgment of the American people to believe that such madness will not soon be succeeded by a lucid interval. THE DAM AT COLUHBIA. It has been the object of the secessionists during this entire struggle to destroy the property belonging to Union men, and appro priate that belonging to the Government under the most cowardly circumstances. Thus, it is necessary to counteract by such retaliatory acts as will bring these desperados to their senses, or at least intimidate them in the per petration of further acts of aggression and out- rage. In this spirit we hope that the approach ing session of the Legislature will make some provisions in regard to the dam at Columbia, on the Susquehanna river, so as to cut off the water from the canal connecting with Balti more. In this manner the bullies and mer chant abettors of assassination would be brought to their sense ,of right and honor. All that would be necessary is to remove the em bankment of the Tide-water Canal near Wright's mill, and Baltimore would be as badly block aded and shut out by the trade which sustains it, as if it was surrounded by a hostile army and &at. These miscreants who murder the brave defenders of the national honor must be taught a severe lesson. IT is reported that , there are 6,000 volunteers in Richmond ready for service, 4,000 at Har per's Ferry, and 8,500 at Norfolk ; and it is said that by the end of the week there will be 25,000 troops at Richmond. In all Virginia it is said that there are now 16,000 men in arms. These figures must . be taken with considerable grains of allowance. The official report of the arms in vatetandon of 'Virgin* butt year stated that she had enough (only for 6,000 men ; and, though some seem; to have been seised at Har per's Ferry, she hps Aug, at present the means to eqtap such 4 force. • lieunovluattiv elegravh, flaturbav "Afternoon, 21. pril, 27, 1661. THE EXTRA SESSION OP THE LEGISLA- The approaching extra session of the Legis lature begins to impress us with the importance of the objects for which it has been called. It is not out of place to discuss some of these ob jects, and endeavor with caution, as well as courtesy, to point out certain means of defence and measures of utility which it would be pro per at this time to adopt, in order to enable Pennsylvania fully to co-operate with the gov ernment at Washington. Since the adjourn ment of the Legislature, the most startling events have occurred, in which the honor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was in volved, and the lives of our fellow citizens ruthlessly assailed and brutally destroyed, while on a peaceable and patriotic mission through a neighboring state, to defend the cap ital of the nation. Pennsylvania cannot afford to remain quiet and inactive while the blood of her citizen soldiery is being poured out in defence of her honor, nor will she permit her sons to be struck down, without raising her arm to avenge the insult and wipe out its au thors. It is now apparent that the capital at Wash ington must be occupied and held for a period at least, until treason can be effectually obliter ated, and the fall measure of the law meted out to every traitor in the country. So far as Pennsylvania is concerned, she has only a plain and simple duty to perform in the occupancy and possessing the city of Washington. She must concentrate a larger force than that just called out, say from ten to fifteen thousand more men, and with such an army, extending from her capital to the borders of Maryland, to some point where these troops could co-ope rate with like numbers from the States of Ohio and Indiana, the city of Washington would soon become surrounded by an army of free men such as would strike terror and dismay to every traitor in the land. There must be an uninterrupted, open road between the Free States and the capital of Washington. The country around that city must be purged of trea son, and the authority and power and force of the general Government must be established and vindicated in a manner that will forever hereafter establish them in strength and invin cibility. Aside from these considerations such a force will be necessary to establish peace. We must not adjust' the question of treason by com promise and conciliation. The people who have taken this matter in baud, will not sub mit to conciliation, nor will they abide by the decision of any diplomaoy that seeks the settle ment of-the wrongs which have been heaped upon this nation by permitting a band of trai tors and assassins quietly to subside into the repose of a hypocritical allegiance, forced on them by the overshadowing influence of num bers. The fame and the glory of the American people have been tarnished by a blow. By a blow, only then, can they be rescued from the diegrace into which they have been plunged. The first cbject of the Legislature will of course be to increase the military force of the state. This will necessarily require an' addi tional appropriation. It must be borne in mind that all these operations for defence can not be carried on without incurring great ex pense, and that the organisation of armies from raw material, is a work easier described and criticised than suocessfully performed.— This, of course, the Legislature will under stand and appreciate. In the forthcoming message of the Governor, we expect to see these suggestions largely increased and set forth, believing that the government here is im pressed with the importance of the crisis, and the necessity of the most extensive prepara tions. and prompt . action. Pennsylvania must put forth all her energies and strength in this emergency. She must not pause at expense when the liberties of her people are in jeopardy, nor hesitate to strike a blow in defence of the lives of her children or the honor of a nation, of which she is a component part. DIPLOMACY has had its triumphs over many a bottle of Port and Sherry, and has settled many a vexed question while digesting salads, omo lets and .fricasee. But the settlement of the great question now agitating the public mind of this nation, can never be accomplished by diplomatic art or coquetry. The people have become confounded and disgusted with the conciliation and compromises of diplomacy, and nothing now will satisfy them, but the most practical measures. They are weary of discussion, and now pause only for a decision. If this Government is to be destroyed by force, they demand an encounter with that influence, and if force is to be used against force, they are ready for the action. Here are eighteen millions of busy, enterprising and ambitions people, aspiring for their own elevation and zealous for the good of the nation. Shall these be dictated to by eight millions of men, who proclaim themselves the masters of all labor? Shall these eight millions arrest the progress and developments of eighteen other millions of men? This is what is to be decided. It is not contemplated in this decision that the rights of minorities are not to be respected, or that the majority should rule with Absolute power. But it is the will of the majority of the people of this Government that all who have enjoyed its protection shall respect and obey its laws, and that treason, in any shape and in any quarter, shall be put down by the strong arm of the law, and not allayed by the soothing persua sions of diplomacy. TIM POW= OF rim NORTH was manifested in the march and passage of the New York Sev enth Regiment through Maryland. The men repaired the track of the railroad, erected bridges which had been destroyed, repaired and manned locomotives, reconstructed cars for the forwarding of baggage, and other achievements which mechanics only can accomplish. Against an army of such men we should imagine the poor negro drivers and breeders of the ;South would make a most miserable resistance—and it is this power, the mechanical force and geni us of the country, that has been so much un derrated at the South. It is this power that is sought to be degraded by refusing to allow it expression either at the ballot box or in the halls of legislation. Time will teach the de luded people of the South that the power of the American mechanic is the true element of strensth in the American government, in peace as well ac TETE. THE POLICY OP PMNSYLVABIA. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN GENERAL BEAUREGARD AND M.A,T. ANDERSON. We publish below the conclusion of the cor respondence petween General Beauregard, the leader of the rebels, and Major Anderson, the gallant defender of Fort Sumter. It will be seen by this correspondence that the assault on Anderson and his brave companions was both brutal and unnecessary, and that, by their own confession, the assailants were guilty of a great wrong. We commend this correspondence to the careful perusal of our readers. HEADQUARTERS PROVISIONAL ARMY C. S. A. CaraLEsToN, (8. C.) APRIL 11, 1861, 2 P. M Mal— Hobert Anderson,Cbtaraanding at Fort Sumte, Charleston Harbor, S. C. Bra : The Government of the Confederate Stites has hitherto forborne from any hostile demonstration against Fort Sumter, in the hope that the Government of the United States; with a view to the amicable adjustment of all questions between the two Governments, and to avert the calamities of war, would volunta rily evacuate it. There was reason at one time to believe that such would be the course pursued by the Gov ernment of the United States, and, under that impression, my Government has refrained from making any demand for the surrender of the fort. But the Confederate States can no' longer delay assuming actual possession of a fortifica tion commanding the entrance of one of their harbors, and necessary to its defence and secu rity. I am eltdered by the Government of the Con federate States to demand the evacuation of Fort Sumter. My aids, Col. Chestnut and Capt. Lee, are authorised to make such demand of you. All proper facilities will be afforded for the removal of yourself and - command—to gether with company arms and property, and all private property—to any post iu the United States which you may select. The flag which you have upheld so long, and with so much fortitude, under the most trying circumstan ces, may be saluted by you on taking it down. Col. Chesnut and Capt.

If you will state the time at which you will evacuate Fort Sumter, and agree that in the meantime you will not use your guns against us unless ours shall be employed against us Fort Sumter, we shall abstain from opening fire upon you.

A PATRIOTIC Lnrrue.—The following letter, from a young man to his mother, has been handed to us for publication., It breathes the spirit of a true patriot : Tszvorros, April 20. MT DERR MOTHER : To-morrow I leave as an enlisted soldier of the United States Army for Washington ; I have been long intending to do this ; and Ido it because I fee] that my country is in eminent danger ; and that al though I can do but little, yet that little should be devoted to the service of my country in this her hour of great need. I know that my mother's blessing will rest upon her son in this moire, and that if I fall (as God only knows whether I shall or not,) He who is my Saviour has laid up a crown for me in heaven. lam sure that my mother will not weep if I am among the dead, for she will know , that -I died for the good of my country. If God or ders it so, I will at least be shot , with my face towards the enemy. YOTIE ONLT SON. Ws learn from late New Orleans papers that the Legislature of Texas had almost completed its business and was nearly ready to adjourn. The loan bill had become a law, and Texas bonds, it is stated, will soon lie abundant The act authorizes one million of bonds to be sold,` redeemable in sixteen years, and four cents on a hundred dollars additional taxes levied to pay interest and principal. A Wife Repudiates her Traitor Hus band. [From the N. Y. Timm] It will be remembered that Lieut. Abner Smead, of the First Artillery, was sent, a few weeks since, by Lieut. Slemmer, to Washing ton, to apprise the Government of the absolute necessity of supplies and reinforcements at Fort Pickens. Forgetful of all obligations of honor and duty, Lieut. Sewall took Montgorn ery in his way northward, and having sub mitted his dispatches to the perusal of the rebel authorities, proceeded to Washington, whither the news of his treason having anticipated him, he was not shot, as he deserved to be, but his name was simply struck from the roil of the army. The wife and children of Lieut Smead, with the families of several officers on duty in the South, were at Fortress Monroe. The Lieutenant hastened from Washington to obtain his family, and remove them southward, but his movements were not so rapid but that his crime had been reported before him. When, therefore, he presented himself at the fort, he was refused admission, the officer on duty de clining "to , adniit a traitor" Within a Federal post, the only favor conceded being that he might have an interview with Mrs. Smead without the walls. That interview the un happy miscreant Is not likely to forget. At tended by a few female friends, one of which furnished the account which we give of the scene, the lady met her husband, and in terms of scorching eloquence, reproached him with his shame. Go t home =with you I" she exclaimed. "lieVer! Oar piths in this world ate here after separate. I disown you. A coward and traitor, you are no husbend of mine. Hence forth you are to me as if dead. As long as I live I shall wear mourning, and be as a widow; and rest assured I sballeducate our children to execrate and despise your memory as that of a recreant and traitor?' Turning with these words, the noble and pa triotic woman reentered the fort, and gave way to her very natural feelings. We may add that Dirs. Snead is, like her discarded hus band, a native of Georgia, and that while the latter went southward to obtain the reward of his treason, the former, with her children, has come north, passing 'through this city on Tuesday, and is now at Morristown, N. J. It is an illustration of the temper of the mob now ruling at Baltimore, that it seized upon the baggage of the party of unprotected wives of officers with which Mrs. Snead and our in formant traveled; and but for the Interference of an officer of Fort McHenry would have de tained their persona. A greater part of the baggage of the party, with many articles of value, was taken away violently, and, of course, will never be recovered. Our informant states that the garrison of Fort Monroe numbers 1,200 men, having ample pro visions for a year, and that mon nod officers have united in a solemn oath not to surrender the fort, and believe they can hold it against the largest force that can be brought against it. The fortress it surrounded by a plain, so that the approaches will be exceedingly difficult. TIM MIIIBII3SIPPI 'lnter--The announcement by telegraph yesterday, (17th,) that steamers had been brought to and arms and provisions destined for the South had been seized at Cin chmnati excited considerable indiguation in lids city. Daring the day we were assured through the medium of the telegraph that the steamer Lehigh had left St. Louis with a quan tity of muskets and perhaps other munitions of war, destined for the barracks at Newport, Kentucky. It was rumored, however, that the arms were consigned to Pittaburg, and the more excitable of those who had been incensed by the condtict of the Oincinnatians toward the Sonthern-bound steamers deemed it a fair op portunity to retaliate. A council was held,aed it was resolved that the Lehigh, with her cargo, should not be permitted to pass this port. Ac cordingly, at an early hour last evening, a Party of young men, led doubtless by older heads, proceeded to the armory of the Louis ville Battery, on First street, near Green, forci bly opened the doors and took possession of the cannon in charge of Col. D. C. Stone, of the Enrolled Ifilitia,and availed themselves of such munitions of war as appertained to Col.Stone'e head-quarters, embracing forty rounds of car tridges, and one twelve pound cannon-ball The guns, two six-pounders, were speedily run out, horses were attached, and, amid tbo wildest enthusiasm the crowd sorted fOr West Louisville, a point at a bend In the river about six miles below this city. Other councils were held, however, and an assurance from Gen. Buckner that the arms on board the Lehigh, or a portion of them, at least, were the pro perty of the Kentucky State Guard, seemed to satisfy the crowd ; the guns were housed. and the indignant party quietly diepersed.—Louis trille Journal. A SonssicatorNaaara Hmco.—lt would seem, says the Lancaster Express of the 26th inst., as if some won were born to be fools, and such we take any man to be who expresses any sym pathy with secession within the limits of Lan caster county. We learn that a citizen living near the Maryland line, in this county, made . a narrow escape from hanging, a day or two ago, for "talking secession." The rope was actually around his neck, and signs of evidently sincere repentance alone saved him from a hasty exit into eternity. We advise our county friends to send all such scoundrels to the Lancaster oounty prison for safe keeping ; if guilty, our Lancaster county court and juries will do them full justice. ara.. Mural .
