THE WAR .FOR UNION.
There are those who speak of the war as if
they had no personal interest in the result of it,
or in the object sought to be attained by it.
And yet the perpetuity of the government and
the integrity of the Union are objects as vital
to them as to those who favor a vigorous prose
cution of the war. The manifestation of loyal
ty is no more binding upon a republican than
upon a democrat ; and the duty of preserving
the government is as obligatory upon the one
as upon the other. The Union is an inheritance
in which every citizen has an equal share, and
the man who feels or professes indifference to
the means used to preserve it, because he had
no part in electing those to whom the people
have confided the administration of its affairs,
is equally deficient in sense and patriotism.
A Republican has no more at stake in the
Union than a Democrat. And yet we hear the
remark, every day, that this is a "Repub
lican war ; and Republicans may fight its bat
tles." But every man of sense knows that it is
the war of no party ; but a war waged by trai
tors to destroy, and prosecuted by patriots to
preserve the government. If the continuance
of the government is desirable at all, it is desi
rable to all alike. And if any man holds back
because his party is not in power, he is but a
step behind those who are in open rebellion.
There are those who thus hold back, and for
this reason. These are, however, we are glad
to know, "few and far between." The masses
of elf parties at ' the north are in perfect ac
cord in regard to the necessity and propriety of
vigorously prosecuting the war to restore and
preserve' the Union. But there are more in
sympathy with treason than there should be ;
and there are more than there should be who
allow their party prejudices to interfere with
their patriotic impulses.
If the Union should be permanently dissolv
ed, or the Government destroyed, or weakened,
Democrats would suffer equally with Republi
cans. It would be a loss to the world. Demo
crats equally with Republicans, should, there
fore, co-operate in whatever plans are best .
adapted to achieve the end desired. This is felt
by the half million valiant men who, without
a thought of party, have entered the field. It
is felt, also, by the millions ready to sacrifice
fortune and life rather than see the noble in
heritance bequeathed to them by their fathers
cloven down by the fratraoidal hands raised
against its existence.
They mistake the tamper of the people who
believe it possible to induce them to be indif
ferent to the issues of the contest in order to
punish those to whom they may be politically .
opposed. If those ',be took sides against lib
erty in '76 wire held in abhorrence, and if the
memory' of those who arrayed themselves
against the war of 1812, is dishonored—what
measure of infamy awaits those who shall, in
thia contest for the preservation of the Union,
array themselves against those who are for the .
Union, and with those who are seeking to destroy
it? Let them take counsel from the past, and
beware
BIT. FATHER lilarmla, of the Catholic church
in this city, than whom there is none more de
voted to the Union among all the pastors in the
country, informs us that there Is no such a
priest as J. A. Sing in the city of New York.
It will be remembered that we printed a dis
patch yesterday, giving an account of his alleged
arrest by an excited mob as a secessionist.—
King, from . what our informant stated, must
be an impostor as well as a traitor, and yet the
following paragraph from the New York Tri
bune of to-day, gives some credence to his priest
ly capacity. The Tribune says on the subject :
J. A. King, the Catholic priest who was ar
rested on Thursday night for uttering - violent
secession sentiments in a lager beer saloon, was
taken to headquarters and kept till morning.
Upon the representations of his friends he was
then delivered over to the discipline of bis
bishop..

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE WAR
Our neighbors of the Patriot and Union are
earning for themselves an odium which will fix
their position in Pennsylvania for years to come,
and make them the traitor ingrates in the
memory of others hereafter, as they are that in
the estimation of those who daily lead and are
disgusted with their treason. The Lancaster
Ezpress alludes to the Patriot and Union and a
few other journals assuming to speak for the
Democratic party, and declares that they are
laboring with a zeal worthy of a better cause,
in misrepresenting the objects of the govern
ment in resisting the existing rebellion. Instead
of judging the administration by the repeated
official declarations of the President, and the
record of Congress in a resolution adopted al
most unanimously by both Houses, they take
the fanatical declarations of some extremist who
does not represent any party, and parade that
as the policy of the administration. Thus, while
both the President and Congreis have declared
" that this war is not waged on their part in
any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of
conquest or subjugation, or purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the rights or es
tablished institutions of the states, but to de
fend and maintain the supremacy of the Consti
tution, and to preserve the Union, with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the several states
unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects
are accomplished the war ought to cease," these
miserable party gdschief-makers persist in de
claring that the existing war is waged for "ne
gro emancipation ;" that it was begun and is
carried on by the abolitionists ; and that it is.
virtually, "an abolition war." We have a few
men in this city and county—. a very small and
harmless faction—who indulge in this kind of
talk, although they know they lie when they
say so. The fact is, they secretly sympathize
with the rebels, although they have not the
courage nor the manliness to go over to their
ranks and help fight their battles.
It is this class who are at the bottom of the
"peace" meetings recently projected in the
lower part of Lancaster county, and the object of
which is to furnish indirectly that " aid and
comfort" to their rebel friends in the revolted
states which they dare not furnish directly. We
speak knowingly when we say that the leading
spirits in this movement derive their inspiration
from Ben Wood and the clique of sympathizers
with treason of which he is the soul and center
in New York, and that some of them are in
correspondence with him. These men are not
to be trusted. They should be closely watched
and their conduct carefully noted. We would
deprecate anything like personal violence, for
the day of reckoning will come when all such
accounts can be mole effectually squared at the
ballot box. While it is necessary to crush the
overt act of treason with the sword and the hal
ter, this kind of sympathy with traitors, which
is meaner than treason itself, can be frowned
down by an intelligent and patriotic public
opinion. Already this new masked battery of
treason is pretty nosily " played out" in this
county.
DEMOORATIO TERMS OP PEACE.
The Patriot seeing to object to any other
terms of peace but ,those which will benefit its
o ld anies,..the shive breeder and traffickers of the
..nth. Here are the, terms, as WA -forth' by the
New Orleans °resent, a journal that was scarcely
more zealous than the Patriot for the election of
Breckinridge :
"The North must be-made to-sue for peace,
and be compelled to accept the terms which we
will propose. This is the only way this war
ought to be ended, and it is the only way it will
.be ended, unless the enemy in the meantime, as
is highly probable, breaks down-for want of
means wherewith to carry on the contest. _
The "Peace Party' in the North is not, how
ever, exactly that sorgof peace party which the
south would like to s there. They are for
peace merely because the war has prostrated
business, and threatens to involve them in a
fearful National debt.. They are not for peace
because they believe tit; south to be right.—
What we want is for them to declare for peace
on the broad ground that the south is right on
principle. When they take the position that the
provocation of the south was more than suffi
cient; that the right of sectstion under our form of
government, is undoubted: t titis a correct theory
that all governments oht to derive their ex
istence from the censer) 9f the governed ; in
short, the south not onl ad the right to resist,
but was fully and wit* • stifled in so doing—
then, and only then, will ere be a peace party
at the north worth•talki ..1. bout."
The Patriot seems to berg
to bleak down "the en

SECESSIONIST JOURNALS IN NEW YORK.
PRESENTMENT OF THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, NEWS,
DAY BOOK, FREEMAN ' S JOURNAL AND BROOKLYN
EAGLE BY THE UNITED STATES GRAND JURY.
In the United States Circuit Court of New
York city, the Grand Jury yesterday morning
made the following important presentment :
"To the Circuit Court of the United States for the
Southern Listrict of New York:
"The Grand Inquest of the United States of
America, for the Southern District of New York,
beg leave to present the following facts to the
Court, and ask its advice thereon :
"There are certain newspapers within this
district which are in the frequent practice of
encouraging the rebels now in arms against the
federal government by expressing sympathy
and agreement with them, the duty of acceding
to their demands, and dissatisfaction with the
employment of force to Overcome them.. These
papers are the New York daily and weekly
Journal of Commerce, the daily and weekly News,
the daily and weekly Day Book, the Freeman's
Journal, all published in the city of New York,
and the daily and weekly Eagle, published hi
the city of Brooklyn. The first named of these
has just published a list of newspapers in the
free States opposed to what it calls "the present
unholy war" —a war in defence of our country
and its institutions, and our most sacred rights.
and carried on solely for the restoration of the
authority of the government.
"The Grand Jury are aware that govern
ments allow liberty of speech and of the press
to their utmost limit, but there is nevertheless
a limit. If a person in a fortress or an army
were to preach to the soldiers submission to the
enemy he would be treated as an offender.
Would he be more culpable than the citizen
who, in the midst of the most formidable con
spiracy and rebellion,. tells the conspirators and
rebels that they are right, encourages them to
persevere in resistance, and condemns the effort
of loyal citizens to overcome and punish them
as an 'unholy war?' If the utterance of such
language in the streets or through the press is
not a crime, then there is a, great defect in our
laws, or they were not made for such an emer
gency.
"The conduct of these disloyal presses is of
course condemned and abhorred by all loyal
men ; but the Grand Jury will be glad to learn
from the court that it is also subject to indict
ment and condign punishment.
"All which is respectfully presented. ..
"Naw-Yosz., Aug. 16, 1861. -
"Cnanats Goma), Foreman.
"Signed by all the Grand Jurors."
Our court meets in a few days, when a grand
jury will also be called on to deliberate and de
cide upon the mimes of men. While this inquest
will not be empowered to decide upon the guilt
of traitors, it will have authority to fix the degree
and extent of a nuisance, and as such the con
dition and position of the Patriot demands their
consideration. And if the Journal of Commerce
and Freeman' a Journal are found guilty of treason,
the _Patriot is equally criminal, because it has
copied their most obnoxious articles, and com
mended and applauded the treason for which
the editors and proprietors of the Journal of
Commerce and Freeman's Journal are now arraign;
ed as criminals before one of the highest judicial
authorities in the land. The end of these
traitors is fast approaching, and they who have
lived by falsehood and treason must 'suffer
,by
their penalties. .
Secession Outrages in East Tennessee
The Knoxville Whig's Protest against Nelson's Ar•
-rad---ThatTournal to be Suppressed—Tyranny of
the Southern Confederacy—Parson Brcionkno's
Loyal Declarations.
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig of the 10th,
which will probably be the last issue for some
time, observes of Nelson's arrest :
The treason of Mr. Nelson consists in his
having advocated the cause of the Union, and
the Stars and Stripes of his country, in opposi
tion to the heresy of Secession. To this grievous
offense he has added the unpardonable sin of
permitting his fellow-citizens _to elect him to
Congress. To be consistent, and to carry out
their principles, they ought now to arrest and
send on to Richmond, every man in the district
who voted for Nelson.
We have but little to say, now, respecting
this arrest, and the hot haste with which the
gallant and patriotic Nelson has been hurried
off to Richmond. We shall await the action of
the authorities there, with some degree of in
terest, as will the thousands of Union men in
East Tennessee. Before dismissing the,subject r
however, we will take occasion to congratulate'
the people of Richmond in this, that when they
cast into their filthy eity prison Thomas A. R..
Nelson, they will have more brains, patriotism,
honor and chivalry in their prison, than can be
found in their Rump Congress.
ABUSE OF POWER BY THE SOUTH - GROSS cruntAnEs
For weeks past, with our large list of sub
scribers, our weekly expenses have exceeded
our income, and hence our paper has been car
ried on at a pecuniary sacrifice. Our exchange
papers are kept back and not allowed to come
to Knoxville. Oar letters are broken open and
robbed in all directions ; and our newspaper
packages are laid aside or destroyed, so as to
keep them out of the hands of our subscribers
At Cumberland Gap, or the office near there,
we are informed upon reliable anthoritY, there
is a large pile of letters, to say nothing of pa
pers, addressed to us, which secessionists will
not allow to come forward. These letters no
doubt, mostly from Kentucky, contain several
hundred dollars for subscriptions. At Isristol,
we are informed, our paper is thrown aside , and

mu zzled, its batteries silenced, and its readers
and friends required to take the false state
ments of secession papers for the news of the
day! Large bodies of armed men must be
thrown into our country, and put in possession
of all the principal towns and thoroughfares of
the country, but no wrongs' arses to be inflicted
upon the people of east Tennee, nor are they
to be deprived of any of their rights !
Can .111 this mean anything less than a decla
ration of war against East Tennessee ? It is
not opening the ball, and inviting bloodshed
in East Tennessee P What the effect of all this
will be we are wholly unable to say. It will
either depress the Union forces of this end of
the State, and cause them to cower like dogs,
or it will make them frantic in defense of their
gallant leaders, down-trodden because of their
principles, and arouse a thirst for vengeance
and brave deeds ! What Union leader after all
this, can any longer meet his friends, and urge
them to peace, and moderation, as we know
they have been doing?
PARSON BROWNLOW'S DRCLARkTIONS
Parson Brownlow 'publishes the annexed
card:
So far as we are concerned, we can suspend
our publication, in obedience to the dictates of
tyranny and intolerance—we will yield to the
demands of an armed mob—turn over to them
our office and what little property we have—
deprive ourselves and a helpless family of
small children of the necessary means of sup
port—and beg our bread from door to door
among Union men who are able to give—but
we shall refuse,-most obstinately refuse, to the
day of our death, to think or speak favorably
of such a Confederacy as this, or to agree that
honor patriotism, or love of country, have in
fluenced the men at its head, who have plunged
the country into this revolution !
And whether our humble voice is hushed in
death—whether our press is muzzled by the
spirit of intolerance at Richmond, making this
our last issue of a journal we have edited for
almost a quarter of a century, we beg all who
may come after us and our paper, to credit no
Secession falsehood that may represent us as
having changed our principles from those of an
exalted devotion to the old Amsarces Mum,
and of undying hostility to those who would
perpetrate its dissolution !
IMPRESSIONS IN WASHINGTON.
Local Feeling and General Intelligence.
•
A good deal of interest is beginning to he
felt here in the plans of Johnston and Besure
gard. There are some pretty strong indica
tions of an advance movement of the rebels.
An officer of Colonel Stone's column, from an
encampment near Edivard's Ferry, thirty miles
north of this city, reports that the rebel troops
are encamped in strong force on the Virginia
side of the river at or near the ford, and that
they are constantly bringing up artillery. It
is also a fact that unusual activity prevails
among the rebels near Aquia creek, and several
"contrabands" who have come into our camps
report that the enemy is gathering- boats and
vessels up the Bappanhannock for some purpose
and it is believed to be to convey troops into
Maryland. If any movement is made at all
upon Maryland it will doubtless be above and
below Washington, but the nervous may be
comforted by the authentic statement that the
government is most fully prepared, for any de
monstration of the kind. The disposition of
troops is such as to render it comparatively
easy to throw them rapidly to every point.
Large bodies are stationed northeast and south
east of the city, as well as southwest, west and
north. The picket system is so rigidly manag
ed under the general direction of McClellan
that any surprise is out of the question.
Very earnest appeals from prisoners at Rich
mond continue to pour in to the President be
seeching an exchange of prisoners. The gov
ernment is firm, however, and it is said is not
Sattified with the escape on parole of the batch
of prisoners who got in yesterday. There are
liable to be ordered back into their respective
regiments, for they had no right to agree not to
"aid and abet the enemies of the Southern Con
federacy." It is generally considered here that
that these men who signed the written parole
committed a blunder, if not something worse,
and there is some indignation at their course
from the fact that they are full of denunciation
of what they term, "the cowardice of our offi
cers 4, State Bridge." I speak of course of the
prisoners returned to this city, and not those
who proceeded on to New York.
Sinde the rebels burned the village of Hamp
ton, the secessionists in Washington have be
come somewhat dishearted, for they perceive
that if the rebels were to take the capital they
Would probably destroy it. As many of our
disloyal citizens (disloyal in sentiment) are large
property holders here, they begin to open their
eyes, and are getting content with the present
condition of things. Were the rebels to take
‘Waahingtoh they would not be able to hold it
for any length of time, and forseeing that it
would be a constant source of contention, they
would utterly destroy it, and fortify the Potomac
heights. Every property-holder in this city is
therefor deeply interested in.preserving the
power of the federal government and in defeat
ing the rebels.
The weather has taken so sadden a turn of
late, from intense heat to October cold, that a
good deal of sickness will be the consequence in
camP, and in fact there is already an increase
in the summer and fall complaints peculiar to
this climate. One weak ago the heat was such
that'our soldiers dropped from the ranks while
on the march. But for the last three days it
has °been difficult for them to keep warm at
nights without their heavy overcoats. I need
not day that our men who come from the ex
trenie i4th ern States welcome the change,
though it is a well-known fact that more
sickness results from such changes than from
any amouht of hot weather.

Attack on Fortress Monroe Contemplated.
FORTBSS9 MONROI, Aug. 16
Lien. Butler yesterday assumed the responsi
bility of paying to the New York regiments
about $20,000 which had been deposited for
some time at Old Point for want of a pay
master.
- The ship Fair Wind, of Boston, with a cargo
of guano, was this morning towed up the roads
by the steamer S. R. Spaulding, in a disabled
condition. She ran ashore on Hog Island.
The U. S. frigate Gladiator was yesterday
cruising off the capes.
A flag of truce yesterday conveyed Mr.
Wheeler, formerly U. S. Minister to Nicaragua,
to the confederate pickets beyond New Market
Bridge.
A flag of truce is just in from Norfolk with
corporal Hurlbut, of the Connecticut regiment
prisoner who was released by the rebels for
his attentions to Col. Gardiner after the battle
of Bull Run. '
He states that a considerable number of re
leased ministers, including several chaplains,
will reach Old Point to-morrow. In his opinion
the rebels are actively preparing for an attack
upon Fortress Monroe.
This measure is now popular in the rebel
camps, and appropriate material is being col
lected in large quantities at Norfolk. The
attack upon Fortress Monroe will be made
within a week, be thinks.
LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
The rebel troops have nearly all fallen back
to Fairfax Court-Honse, thus widening the
distance separating the hostile forces. The
pickets of both armies, however, occupy nearly
the same advanced positions as heretofore.
The sick and wounded soldiers in the hospi
tals at Georgetown have been generously pro
vided by the ladies of that city with jellies and
other delicacies. Even bouquets from their
gardens have been liberally provided, and sent
to their rooms. It is pleasant to know that
our men on their sick beds are the objects of
care, not by the nurses alone, but by the ladles
generally.
Contrary to the expressed wishes of Gen. Mc-
Clellan, military matters are yet published in
some of the papers—sent forward, in some cases,
through the associated press agency. The re
ports of troubles in the Highland, and one or
two other regiments, are cases in point. These
things ought to have no publicity. In this
case, too, the cause of the trouble is not correct
ly stated. It grevv,out of a report, industrious
ly circulated among the troops here, by the
enemies of the Union, that Congress did not
sanction the President's acts, and that, there
fore, three-years troops could not be held. 'The
troops did not wait to inform themselves that
the report was false, and began to manifest in
subordination, which, however, was soon
brought to a-termination.
Jeff. Davis is working up the secession ma
terial in Maryland to the best possible advan
tage. The secessionists of that State are in
structed to hold out the olive ,branch and
proclaim themselves a peace party. It is done
to cover up their ulterior purposes, and the
motives is too transparrent to avoid detection
throughout the State.

Court House amid the noisy demonstrations of
the troops and a few resident sympathisers.
Our wounded soldiers in the hospital had not
been molested. It was announced that only
the Home Guards would be the subjects of re
