Ely Etitgraip4
From our Morning Edition.
IT IS A NOTORIOUS FACT that those in the
South who are most indebted to the North
are the bitterest enemies of the Union. Among
merchants, whose credit led to long accounts
in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, this
fact is particularly applicable. The repudia
tion of honorable obligations was a common
practice years ago in the South, which at last
was crowned with the stupendous frauds legal
ized by the State of Mississippi, in not only
the repudiation of her debts, but her actual
refusal to recognize any of her honest obliga
tions, either to her own or the people beyond
her borders. The latest act of repudiation is
that of the traitor and fugitive Robert Tyler,
ex-poet laureate, ex-orator and adulator of
treason in Philadelphia, and ex-Prothonotary
of the Supreme Court of the state of Pennsyl
vania. Robert came to Pennsylvania a beggar
and has left a defaulter. Ou the first day of
May he was indebted to the state Treasury in
the sin of $llOO, which he doubtless intends
shall remain on the books of the Treasurer, as
an evidence of the contempt in which one of
tke F. F. V.'s holds the people and the confi
dence of Pennsylvania, holding on to the
money, at the same time, as the evidence of
his ingratitude and dishonesty. It will be ne
cesiary, in the treaty of peace, which such
men as Bob Tyler now talk of negotiating be
tween the federal government and the rebel
pirates and assassins, that provision be made
for the prevention of the prosecution of such'
defalcations, or Bob and his confederates may
be compelled to repent the indiscretion of
their crimes in the solitude of a criminal's
cell. They will either do this, or have their
reflectionsvinterrupted by the contraction of
twisted hemp.
IT is now suggested that the reason why Jeff
Davis had not gone to Richmond is, that he
intends to head the tack on Cairo. If he
hopag to muilatain a. 4 ..P army at all, it is •
the fertile fistrik*
....9hLtbat N. wiiiiT•flOoli -
To hold Cairo, and . p the Mississippi navi
gation open is of more consequence to the South
than a dozen Washingtons. Hence the great
struggle 'point may be in Illinois, and not in
Virginia. -Upsides, secession will be as dead in
Missouri as in Maryland, if Jeff. Davis be not
at hand to hold General Harney in check at St.
Louis. The first great battle, we infer, will be
in the Weaf,"ind not on the Potomac. It has
been the aim of the leaders of this movement,
to ward off a battle where the treason origin
ated, and hence their efforts to make Maryland
first the battle field, and as that failed then
Virginia Having also failed in the Old Do
minion, they now seek to push it Weat. There
is a policy in thus forcing the campaign out of
the Cotton States, which can be frustrated by
the government marching to meet treason
on its own soil.
WM Name a paragraph in some of the Bieck
inridge Organs, clipped from the Ckirlisle Volun
teer, in which Bretton assails the TELEGRAPH in
his usual sneaking and cowardly style. When
he printed the paragraph in question, he doubt
less imagined, as did our facetious neighbors at
the corner of the alley, that he would crush
and confuse us, by striking the Tetecarepn
from his exchange list. This Is peculiarly cru
el in both our cotemporades, as we claim some
credit in having awakened in both just suffi
cient. patriotism to rescue them from the mob
violence their course had invoked. The Vol
unteer is the most hopeless of all the torysheets
in the State, made so as well by its innate mean
ness and selfishness, as by its natural tendency
to wrong when goad is to be achieved.
Tus Monson recently held their semi-annu

while others made them the subjects of witty
comment. Young thinks Lincoln as good a
man as ever sat in the chair of state, but ut

conduct of his predeceesors.

This city is remarkably quiet. No arrests of

As private correspondence is tampered with,
it is believed that some of the malls to the
South will be discontinued.
In consequence of more important public af
fairs, another order has been issued, antra un•

ments at present.
The War Department is in the receipt of from
fifty to one hundred applications daily for of

A Cabinet meeting was held to day.
The orders are to hurry to Washington all
the troops that are ready. As there is no ap4
prehension of an attack here, the presumption
is that a speedy movement in Virginia, to Nor 7
folk or Harper's Ferry, or both, is contempla
ted. The Government wisely does not let its
plans be known.
The news from Baitimore is highly satisfac

SECOND DISPATCH
WARRINGTON, May 15.
The assurances that the Administration ie
vigorously prosecuting its measures against the
insurrectionary States have substantial basis.
All members of the Cabinet, together with the
President, are animated by common principles
in furthering the plans for consumating the
Government policy. An increased atimules,
however, was to-day applied.
A committee of prominent gentlemen from
the city of New York had a long interview
with them, and the result was their consent to
accept the services of fourteen additional regi
ments from that State. This meets with the
concurrence of Lieut. General Scott.
The committee sternously urged prompt and
effective measures, with no halting proceedings,
and It appears from private conversation that
the supply of money to support the increased
force is a matter which should occasion no un
pleasant concern to the Administration.
A report Is current that an engineer officer
has discovered that Virginians are throwing up
defences within spy-glass view of Washington.
This may be a repetition of forraer unfounded
rumor. At fill events, if it should be confirm
ed, it is not at all probable that the Govern
ment would remain an indifferent observer of
the proceeding.
At an adjourned term of the Court of Claims
to-day, only one, Judge Loring, was present,
who adjourned court over to the 4th of July,
Presiding Judge Scarburg having resigned there
is a vacancy on the bench, to fill which the
late experienced Solicitor Gillet's name has
been suggested by those who best know the
peculiar qualifications needed for that place.
During the last month the average weekly
receipt from =atom have been not more than
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The
Virginia and North Carolina Collectors, like
those of other seceding States, have ceased to
make returns to the Treasury Department.
Marshal Fisher for the Eastern Dfetrict of
Virginia is the only Judicial officer of that
State who has not resigned. Those for North
Carolina have seperated their connection with
the United States.
The President has appointed George F. Tal

-Register of Land office at Nebraska city, and

PAM Hat ABOUND.—From the Southern Om
federacy, (Atlanta, Oa.) :
"A Ands' from Illinois.---We take pleasure
in laying before our readers the following ex
tract from a letter received by a gentleman
of this city, with the accompanying note of
explanation. Southern Illinois is true, and al
ways ball been. In a few years from now we
would not be surprised if that portion of the
State secedes and joins our Confederacy :
" 'You well know my sympathies are with
the South. I have just expressed this fact In a
different form, by applying for a situation in
the medical staff of the Southern army. I
have to-day addressed an application to Presi
dent Davis for an appointment, in which I took
the liberty of using your name as a reference.
Now, my good friend, I shall be exceedingly
obliged to you for your kind influence in my
behalf, and trust soon to receive an appoint
ment.' "
"The above extract tells its own story. It is
from a private letter received from Dr. J. C.
Whitetail, au eminent and capable surgeon of
Illinois—a Pennsylvanian Ly birth. He has
ever been a true friend of the South, and de
sires now, in her hour of trial, to exhibit his
sympathy in the above patriotic way."
On motion, Thomas F. 'Tipton, George Oka;
son, Jacob C. Mahan, and George T. Dement,
were appointed a committee to wait on Dr. J.
C. Whitehill, and request him to come forward
and explain himself. The committee retired,
and in a iew moments returned in (*moan
with the Doctor. The'Doctor plead '
to writing the letter of watch rue - above Ls ay :
extract, and s c lso acknowledged that he bad
written a letter to Jeff. Davis Tor a situation its
tb: reedeatf. staff of •the Southern IlTillrritarr
•• he only did it for a ruse, and -Lunt the first
l e tt er was written in ar ,,,,,rer to a letter from a•
friend in Georgia. ..thich he received about the
middle of last December, long before the war
commenced, and before it was believed that
Ware would be any war.
The Doctor denied that he was in sympathy
with the rebels, and said that ever since the
first gun was fired at Sumter, and President
Lincoln had Lamed his proclamation command
ing the traitors to disperse, he had been- loyal
to the stars and stripes, and also read a letter
that he had just received from Secretary Caul
eron, showin
that he had made application for
a situation " h i e United States army. After
which the To Or retired, and speeches were
made by Wm. M. Smith, J. C. Mahan, H. P.
Serogin, Cspt. Amos Marshal, L. P. Thomail,

How Wens ARE DECLORD.—Succeasful. Iraq
are usually decided on a given point and in a
single day. It is the greatest error to suppose
a campaign extends to every village in a State,
and is composed of a series of little combats.
Russia was overwhelmed at Austerlitz and
Friedland by troops that had never eeen her
soil ; Napoleon was hurled from his throne
at Waterloo ; Austria was humbled at Solferi
no, and the victory of Wolfe at Quebec won
Canada for England. In the Crimea, the It
gions of Nicholas were exhausted at Sabel
topol. • -
RICHMOND Is not to be the capital of the
Southern Confederacy, and the promise of
