2HE NORYLATG TELEGRAPH.
We are now circulating au edition of the
TZLEGRAPH every morning, larger than any other
morning paper that is either published or re•
tailed is Harrisburg. In this edition we give
the latest telegraphic dispatches received iu
Ihig city up to twelve o'clock midnight, and
such other local and general news es is o
importance to the public.
...14 — Advertisera would do well to take advant
age of the morning edition of the TELEGRAPH
THE NEWS AT THE ELYD OF THE WEEK.
We have been swayed and excited and per
plexed during the past week with rumors and
reports as to the movements of the Federal
Government, and the attitude and conduct of
the rebels. There is very little doubt as to the
vigor 'of the Federal Administration. Presi
dent Lincoln and his Cabinet have acted both
dikreet and wisely, and have succeeded in for
tifying the posts of . defence in and around
the capital in a in:rnner to place Washington
city and its immense treasure of public pr 0...,
..., perty entirely beyond the danger of invasion.
The only possible annoying feature in the
events of the week is the treachery which the
Legislature of Maryland are adding to their
past acts of treason. They are now actually
engaged in a system of espionage . for the benefit
•of the enemy—and will eventually force the
'necessity on the Federal Government of occu
pying Maryland with such an army as will
effectually check the treasonable designs of its
inhabitants. - .there is no doubt either that the
Government will be Compelled to contend with
all the border joined to the Atlantic and Gulf
States. This conspiracy had its origin in a de
sire to maintain and spread the institution tt
slavery, so that every State the least interested
in the, institution will be seduced into the rebel
lion started for its success.
The. army and navy are both to be increased.
The blockade ordered by the Government,
now extending from New Orleans continuous
ly along the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coast
. to the Chesapeake Bay, will have the effect com
.,pletely to crush the manatine trade of the
rebels, and starve them at their own fire-sides
and altars of treason. This course, on the
. part of the Government, will ba productive of
more practical effects than would be the actual
destruction of harbors, or the shelling and bom
bardment of cities and towns along the extend
ed coast of the rebel country. It leaves them
just in the possession of their own resources,
nothing more, and will teach them in a few
Weeks'hoW insignificant and helpless they are
in reality. The rebel government is evidently
uncertain in all that its does. Jeff. Davis is
uneasy in his dreams of a crown. While the
jealousy and distrust which always mark the
councils.and operations of treason, are at work
among the rebels. The bombastic proclama
tlon in regard to privateering has fallen a dead
letter. The government of Europe are begin
. . begin-
Ring to protest against it, so that any assistance
- ;the.rebels may get in this respect, must come
from pirates and robbers like themselves.
- Altogether, we regard the position of affairs
7,* both' favorable and encouraging to those
who are struggling for the maintenance of the
law and the def nce of the Union. The only
embarrassment in the way of the government,
itihe conduct and deceit of the Legislature of
T._ Maryland. This, however, cannot interfere
sitithTitny :Of the plans for the defence of the
capitol
Tun PRIERTAIPTION that the framers and found
ers of this government would introduce an ele
tient into its organization sufficiently powerful
to accomplish its destruction, is simply ridicu
lous. The idea that they would recognize a
principle in whose operation there would be a
force to sever and scatter these States into angry
• rivals, jealous of each other's power, and intent
on each other's destruction, is to charge our
- brave forefathers with a want of discrimination
and wisdom which all their actions accord to
them. Among those who framed the first ar
ticles of confederatisn, the idea of a union was
en eternal compact and everlasting bond, to be
strengthened by time and made the more ne
cessary as our interests expanded and increased.
-.Afterthe war of the revolution, this security
- became a great, grand and a glorious truth. A
truth exemplified on every battle field, where
:union alone crowned our army with victory.
.•..Those who claim the privilege of secession, on
the pitiful pretext that it is aguaranteed right,
would exhibit more sense and command more
respect in the eyes of the world, if they would
claim for their rebellion the design of correct
ing an evil or overthrowing a wrong. Then
they could assert the right of revolution with
some consistency. But now as they base their
rebellion on the right of resuming the sover
eignty which they only transferred to a tern
-porary utftionality, there seems to be no excuse
fot: their treason.. Common sense end reason
are alike repugnant to the idea of secession
Self preservation, that shuuld be the first law
.of l laitona as well as individuals, is opposed to
it, and the events of four weeks prove that the
,AmesiCaLpeople will not permit the principle
to be engrafted on the present or future policy

THE WARS OF AMERICA
The United Colonies and States'have been
engagetrin numerous ware, every one of which
resulted in their benefit. The old wars of the
Colonies with the Indians, brought them many
a patch" of land which was measured after
wards by walks from the rising to the setting
of the sun. But none of those - =ware- were of
sufficient importance to serve any present par
ticular reference. The first general conflict, the
revolutionary struggle, dates our real existence
as a nation. In that struggle was laid the
foundations of the government, All that we
are we owe to those who_ then believed that
they were fighting for . principles - that Would
survive forever in the developments of a Treat
people. That war was'asuccess. Thirteen.in
significant Coloniee'dictating terms of peace to
one of the most powerful and warlike nations
in the world, was a strange spectacle in the
eyes of the statesmen and soldiers of Europe—
and they were even more confounded, as those
same Thirteen Colonies took their place among
the governments, and began the solution of
the problem of man's ability for self-govern
ment. After the Peace of Ghent, and between
that period and 1812; the United States were
the wonder and admiration of the civilitied
world. The war of 1812 was no less signal in
its victories than that of the revolution. Again
the United States dictated terms of peace, and
again were they made the possessors of innu
merable blessings from its results: After that
struggle came another long and prosperons
period of peace, which was briefly disturbed by
a difference With France. But that too ended
to the honor and benefit of our government, by
the forced liquidation of French debts. Again
were we blessed with peace, until forced into a
war with Mexico, when again were our• armies
victorious. In the Mexican war, perhaps, the
most stupenduous results were achieved in a
physical sense, by the acquisition of immense
territory. But aside from this achievement, the
valor of our soldiers and the force of our arms,
w.re established almost , as invincible.
We thus hurrieuly repeat the warlike inci.
dents in our history, showing the success of our
arms and the benefits derived from that suc
cess, for the purpose of drawing a comparison
between those struggles with a foreign foe and
our contest with domestic enemies and traitors.
If so much good has resulted_ from our other
wars, should not good flow from the struggle
in which we are now engaged? Of this there
is no room to question. If the prejudice which
exists in the south against the people of the
north is broken down—if the intolerance that
is manifested in the slave states in an opposition
to free speech and a free press is met and dis
comfited—if the intercourse of the people of
the north and south is as free and as general as
, is the intercourse between the ci izens of the
west and the east —if, even these victories are
won in this contest, those engaged in it will
never regret the blood they shed, the toil they
underwent, or the time that was lost. Some
great good will certainly result from this struggle. It
must be for those who are engaged in it to de
cide what that great good shall consist of—
whether it shall be the humiliation or the over
throw of slavery—whether it shall merely be
the vindication of the law without the punish
ment of the law's violators—or whether it shall
be the final and certain establishment of the ma•
jesty and force of the American Union, at home as
well as abroad. Events, as they progress will
show how we are. struggling and for what we
struggle. If the people have been called from
their homes, their avocations and their busi
ness, Only to intimidate a few ruffians, and
leave unsettled the great wrong and cause of
the contention, then will the present war of the
nation, forced on it for self-defence, be barren
both of victories and benefits. 13ut.if the wrong
is to be humiliated as well as vindicating the
law, then will the war which treason has inau
gurated, result in the most brilliant victories
that freedom ever achieved.
WILL oust DIFFICULTIES be settled by a com
promise? No! The rebellion has already cost
the country 5500,000,000, and to suppose after
such an expenditure, that the people would
listen to any proposition of compromise, is
simply to presume that the people are too igno
rant to understand their own interests, or too
insane to comprehend, and insist on their own
rights. We have nothing that will suffer com
promise in this crisis. Our honor as a free,
peaceable and law-abiding people has been at
tacked, and surely no one in his senses will
propose the compromising of the integrity and
independence of the freemen of the loyal states.
Our laws have been trampled on and violated by
a band of assassins, who, under thejustificationof
a new and impious oath of allegiance, seek the
subversion of the liberties of one portion of
the American people, that they may the better
enslave all classes. To these, the bold invaders
of constitutional law and order—the spoliators
of the public property—the threatened incen
diaries of the capital, and the murderers of
our bravest soldiers—to such as these, the older
of conciliation would be the act of suicide, from
which compromise would speedily hurry the
the poor victim to eternal death and disgrace.
The governments of the loyal states that
have poured out their money and their men
at the bidding of the Federal authorities, will
not be satisfied with any further diplomacy in
the settlement of these difficulties. The peo
ple of these states, who are now marching for
ward to the defence of the Federal 'capital
have an object beyond its protection. They
seek also the vindication of the law, and that
can only be accomplished by the punishment
of the traitors. Vengeance belongs to Heaven
—but man can seek and demand rept ation from
man. The just punishment that has been
meted out to common criminals must not be
withheld from common traitors. So let it be
declared by the people of the loyal states—let
it be inscribed on every banner consecrated to
liberty and around which freemen rally, that
the laws of the country will never again be respected,
until those who have sought their final and complete
overthrow, are brought to a complete and final pun
ishment.
To-Monsow, MAY 5, the twenty day's grace
allowed to the Rebels by the President's Proc
lamation will expire. We may confidently ex
pect soon to bear of active operations against
them.
peniwpiticinia maa.tl elepapt), Zaturbnv Ikftemoon, alap 4, 1861.
Some of the Northern press yet sympathizing
with the rebels are constantly harping against
the use of force by - the government in suppres
sing the rebellion at the South. Public proper
ty must be reclaimed, forts repossessed, the
law put in operation, and the judiciary expect
ed to perfuln their functions and discharge
their duties, but no force must be used by the
Federal Government while it attempts to ac
conaplish these desirable and necessary purposes.
Surely we have learned sufficient already that
the intention of - those who cry against the use
of force is to aid those who are using force to
cripple and destroy the Federal Government.
The cry against the arming of negroes in the
'North is raised to give time to those who are
arming thousands of the most ignorant and ir
responsible beings on the face of the earth, ex
citing their passions by the most horrible sto
ries of Northern barbarity towards the African,
and playing on their fears by threats of such
punishments as they are so much accustomed
to suffer. We are to use no force while the
border States have been and are daily consolid
ating theii strength—playing intothe hands of
the traitors by appeals to the magnanimity of
the governments and 'people of the North, and
taking advantage of every act of confidence and
respect which the authorities at Washington
have extended to their appeals and paid to
their promises
This condition of, affairs, we are happy to
believe, will no longer be tolerated by the gov
ernment and people. Force is about to meet
force. Treason will not be called on to surren
der. Force will compel its obedience, and force
alone will be used in bringing back the rebels
to their duly and their responsibility. The
idea that after we have conquered obedience
we cannot maintain peace, is only sympathy
for treason, which dare not be expressed in
open language. The idea that this govern
ment IS incapable of sustaining its -own au
thority, that we are too weak to enforce our
own laws that eighteen millions cannot estab
lish and secure peace and order against 'the re
bellion of eight millions of men, is too falla
cious for consideration.
The use of force becomes day by day more
imperative. The policy of promptness is de
manded by a hundred necessities. If we par
ley longer with treason, force itself, so far as
the government is concerned, may become use
less and ineffectual.
TEE BLACK BAPUBLICANS are becoming the
awful subjects of the still more awful anathe
mas of our southern coternporaries. There is
something jocund and severe in their use of the
term black—somethin actually crushing in its
application to that brave party of men in this
country who have I•ared their breasts and heads
to the pelting of the storm that is just now
subsiding. By the black we ar•e supposed to be
the atualgatnationists—but by the application
these same accusers are the guilty wretches who
have been seeking the pollution of the pure
Anglo BAXOII with the inferior African race. If
we were to write black secessionist, the term
would be applicable, and the description true,
because one of the principal evils which is
working like a canker in southern society, is
the amalgamation that has gradually and stead
ily been'encouraged and practiced until the race
of men in the south, lemon colored and dwarf
formed, disgust the hardy traveler and
stalwart men of the-free north. We can afford
to be called black republicans, as a term of re
proach because men have suffered more oppro
brium for less holy principles than a Republi
can suffers for his glorious faith by such at
tempted contumely. But the guilt which ac
companies the reproach to the slave-drivers,
burns to his heart, and fills 1118 soul with bit
terness and revenge. Before this rebellion is
ended, our belligrunt cousins in the south will
learn to love and respect their Republican cous
ins of the nurth. . .
THE linwisrowls True Democrat styles the
Sunday Chronicle, printed in Washington city,
a Republican paper. Mr. Frysinger, of the
Democrat, is, or was, a clerk in Washington,
and certainly knows that the Chronicle is an
entirely independent journal, but, true to the
instincts of the Breckinridge-tory.southern
sympathisers 'in Pennsylvania, he seeks to
injure a business enterprise by connecting it
with a partizan purpose. He adopts what he
considers an opprobrious term, fills it with a
mean falsehood, and then gives it credence and
circulation. The Chronicle is doing giant ser
vice in the cause of the Union—and its editors
are not alone content in using the pen in de
ence of their country, but they are on guard
in Washington, with arms in their hands,
ready to die, if necessary, to maintain the
law. Mr. Sheridan, the publisher of the Chron
icle, was among a gallant party of young men
who recently crossed into Virginia, from Wash.
ington, and captured a rebel steamer loaded
with arms. We suppose that it was that daring
deed which made him a Republican in the eyes
of the Democrat, because Republicans are ac
customed to performing such noble actions for
their country.
JOHN MINOR BOTTS has written a letter to At
torney General Bates, in which he says he can
not fight against bis state, Virginia, and he
will not against the Union. He continues:
I am satisfied that a contest on the part of
I the general government, with its perfect mili
tary organization, powerful naval forces, its
command of money, and its credit without
limit, backed by eighteen or twenty millions of
people, against eight millions, without military
organization, is not likely to be of doubtful
result in the end ; but alter that, what then?
Can the Union be preserved on such terms, or
would it, be worth preserving if it could. You
may cut, maim, kill and destroy; you may
sweep down battallions with your artillery; you
ray block up commerce with your fleets; you
may starve out the thousands of the enemies
of government; you may overrun but you, can
not subjugate the United South; and if you
could do all this, you could not do it without
inflicting an equal amount of misery upon those
who are its best friends, and who have stood as
long as there was a plank to stand upon by the
the side of the Ul/100, the Constitution and the
laws. Our streets may run red with blood;
our dwellings may be leveled wilh the earth;
our fields may be laid waste; our hearthstones
may be made desolate, and then at the last,
what end has been gained*? Why the govern
ment has exhibited its power, which has never
been questioned but by the idle, the ignorant
and the deluded, and for the display of which
there will be abundant opportunities without
an effort now, on either side, to cut each other's
throats.

LOCALITIES AND DISTANCES-- - -The, intense in

Annapolis— On the west side of Chesapeake
Bay ; about 50 miles from Havre de Grace, 39
miles by rail from Washington.
Annapolis Junction—The junction of the
Annapolis branch road with the Washington
branch. 19 miles from Annapolis, 20 miles
from Washington city.
Fort : Monroe—At the junction of James
river (northern side) with Chesapeake Bay,
about 38 hours steaming from Boston and 24
from New York.
Norfolk—About 12 miles south of Fort Mon
roe.
Cockeysville—Fifteen miles from Baltimore,
on the railroad to Harrisburg, (being probably
the nearest point accessible on the rail to Balti
more from that direction.)
Baltimore—Ninety eight miles from Phila
delphia; 38 from Washington; 95 from Harris
burg; 81 from Harper's Ferry, and 17 from
Annapolis Junction.
Fort McHenry is situated at the extremity of
a point of land extending from the city in the
southwest, and is about two miles and a half
by the scale on the coast survey map from the
center of Baltimore. Opposite the fort, across
the channel, which is here less than a mile in
width, is the Lazaretto light-house.
The distance from Washington city to Charles

General Bragg has asked for 2000 additional
troops, fearing, from the movements of the

The Norfolk Herald makes the number of
troops at Richmond 4000, and at Harper's Fer

PRESIDENT DAVIS' BODY GUARD. —The Mobile
Register, of the 23d, says :
Capt. Sands, of the Mobile Cadets, left yes
terday for Montgomery, in obedience, it is said,
to a telegraphic summons relating to his com
pany. It is rumored, with what truth we con
not say, that President Davie designs to select
from the best drilled volunteer companies of
the Confederate States, p:rhaps one from each
principal city, to form his guard on assuming
the command in chief of the armies of the
South. Among the companies that are spoken
of for this honor are the Columbus Guards, the
Augusta Artillery, the Montgomery True Blues
and the Mobile Cadets. We give this rumor
for what it is worth, stating our belief that it
is not without strong probability.
