MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY.
There is no doubt that• the traitors have been
benefitted by the tone and descriptions of
the press of the northern states. The sympathy
which has been published for them by a portion
of the press which oppose the war, has had the
effect of encouraging and enraging the rebels to
a degree at which they never would have ap
proached, had they fairly understood the force
and temper of the loyal men of the north.—
They have imagined that tin se sympathisers in
our midst would be able to cripple northern ef
fort to meet and crush rebellion, and hence
their boldness along our lines, and their per
sistent attempts to push their forces to the very
limits of the federal capital. Public opinion
and the courts are correcting these evils, and it
now remains for the newspaper press that is loyal
to correct another that is doing the cause of the
Union much unintentional harm. We allude
to statements in regard to the movements of
the army When these are made in the north
ern press, they of course find their way, through
northern traitor and southern rebel hands, to
the leaders of rebellion, by whom they are used
with advantage to themselves and injury to our
government. In order that we may escape
any censure for such indiscretion, we intend in
the future to refrain from all allusion to these
movements, and content ourselves hereafter
with simply giving the results of the victories
that are in reserve for the troops of the federal
government. "the movements of the army or
any of its divisions—their strength, position or
destination, are matte; s that the public 'nterests
demand should be strictly guarded from pub
licity. With this conviction we have come to
our present resolve.
=Z
A DEEP INTRUST is felt over the country in
the struggle soon to commence in Maryland
between the Union men and the secessionists.
Much will depend upon the result, and with
equal truth we may say that the r. suit depends
mainly upon the acts of the government. The
Maryland legislature will meet again in Freder
ick the I,st part of September. If by that time
the rebels shall have gained another important
victory in that region, (happily almost an im
possibility,) the plan of the rebels in the legis
lature is to pass an ordinance of sectssion at
once. It would not be surmising if the rebel
troops should attempt to occupy Frederick, as
the column under Banks is now many miles re
moved from that town, being in a good position
to guard the various fords from the mouth of
the Monocacy r ver down to Great Falls.
Everything depends upon the position of our
army and government so far as the election in
Maryland is concerned. It is alt. , gether too
much to expect that the people of that state
will stand up tbr the Union if they doubt the
power of the government to protict Maryland
from invasion.
=
AMONG THE GrEsrs at the Jones House we no
tice Gen. Bertram A. Shaeffer, of Lancastercity,
a gentleman long known in this city and state,
as well for his political character and ability as
for his courage, activity and devotion as a sol
dier. Gen. Shaeffer was with the first volunteers
in defence of the Union, among those who went
from Pennsylvania at the sound of alarm that
the federal capital was in danger, and in all
that gallant throng, none took with him a
wanner heart, a more loyal spirit, or au arm
stronger nerved for the contest than him.
He is in. Harrisburg at present for the
purpose of discharging professional duties, before
the court convened to-day. Few men in the
state of Pennsylvania combine more forcibly
and fully those qualities of head and heart es•
Benda' to constitute a during soldier, sagacious
statesman and shrewd lawyer than Bartram A.
Shaffer. To the first he has just established his
claim, while in the state Senate he fixed his
title to the second and his reputation before the
courts of Pennsylvania leaves no room to
doubt-his capacity in the latter. Gen. Shaeffer
is always welcome in Harrisburg.
Tau COUNTRY will be puzzled to understand
the movement of the army under General Banks.
His removal from Sandy Hook to the east side
of the. Monocacy was accomplished so quietly
that` the people have been taken by surprise, and
are puzzled to account for the important move
ment. One result of the withdrawal of our
troops from Sandy hook is, that Washington
city will lose its accustomed supply of Cumber
land coal, as the upper sections of the canal
are once more in the hands of the rebels. A
good deal of sympathy must be felt fur the
loyal men of Harper's Ferry, Martinsburg and
the Maryland border, who will be subjected to
insults and persecution the moment our troops
are out of the way. Frederick be liable
to invasion under present circumstances, unless
a force is thrown into Hagerstown ; but the
public may have the fullest confidence that the
recent movements of the army in that vicinity
are the results of a deliberate plan on the part
of Generals Scott and McClellan, and may be
expected to result favorably for the national
cause. These plans are very properly concealed
for . the present.
IT PRO= on good, authority, that the fed
eral force in Western Virginia is sufficient to
suet& the policy of the government IP' that
quarter.
TIIE POLICY OF FORBEARANCE with which the
government has been treating the open and the
secret foes of its authority in our midst, must
be changed, or the result will be disastrous to
the cause of the country. The action of the
IT-
S. Grand Jury in New York city, is an example
which like bodies throughout the loyal states
must follow, or the forbearance which the gov
ernment has heretofore practiced, will have a
tendency still further to increase the danger of
rebellion, encouraging its secret sympathizers
and disheartening loyal men in our own midst.
It is a fact, that within the last two months,
the:symptoms of sympathy as expressed by the
press which supported Breckinridge for the
Presidency, have been changed to an open ad
vocacy of treason itself, in the shape of peace
propositions and assaults upon the administra
tion. If this is to be tolerated, our struggles in
the field become mere actions of farce and ridi
cule, while it cannot be complained of or won
dered at, if brave men become disheartened and
dismayed. In this rebellion we are opposed by
a foe that admits no confession of wrong or
crime. We are opposed by men who boast of
having stolen and destroyed the public property
—who glory in the fact of their own perjury,
and openly proclaim their intention to be the
entire annihilation of every vestige of free in
stitutions on this hemisphere. While they do
these things in open day light, and while the
rebel leaders distinctly assert that they will
submit to no settlement but that which admits
the institution of slavery as the only system of
government fit for laboring men and women,
and which also recognizes the power and su
premacy of the rebel government, we have men
in our own midst who are daily assailing our
own government, who arc daily denouncing our
efforts to crush out this rebellion, and who are as
frank in their expressions of sympathies for, as the
traitors in the south are fearless in the per
formance of the acts of treason. Is this just ?
Is it right that we should warm and nurture a
reptile beneath the glorious rays of the liberty
of the press, that when it has gathered venom,
it may turn and sting the hand which has car
ressed it into life? Is it right, that while our
fathers and brothers are standing shoulder to
shoulder in defence of the Union, braving the
storms of southern bullets and the anathemas
of southern pulpits, that our government should
permit a foe to flourish in our midst, and daily
assail its acts for the purpose of crippling its
strength? If this is just, we are mistaken in
the first, laws of self-defence, and have but a
poor appreciation of what should constitute the
force and vigor and zealous regard for justice of
those who now rule. Where and when, in the
history of rebellions, were arch-traitors thus tol
erated ? How many noblemen have been hur
ried "to the Tower" for offences venal compared
with those of Breckinridge ? How long would
Louis Napoleon have reigned if he had dealt
thus tenderly with his enemies ? What would
be the fate of Senator Wilson if he should at
tempt to address a Secession audience, or even
venture into Secession territory ? "A halter and
the first tree !" Indeed, Union citizens of Se
cession States are hung, or hunted away from
their burning mansions and confiscated estates.
But here, the order of things is reversed.
We have been forced into an unnatural war, all
the horrors of which fall upon loyal citizens,
without provoking retaliation. Rapacity and
ferocity fit e and rapine—the jail and the gib
bet, distinguishing one side, while magnanimity
and forbearance characterize the other ! The
skulking miscreants around Arlington, Alexan
dria, Fairfax, &c &c., who shoot our sentinels,
when brought in as prisoners, are released on
taking the oath of allegiance ! Hissing traitors,
who keep the enemy informed of all our move •
merits, reside, unmolested, in Washington; and
until very recently, if not now, occupy desks in
the Departments, receiving pay from the gov
ernment for betraying its secrets !
It is needless to say that this ill-judged and
ill.deserved forbearance emboldens traitors and
disheartens loyal citizens But it may not be un
profitable to write—and we print it with empha
sis —Mat this condition of things is unendurable, and
will not be endured. This turning of the other
cheek to the snifter must cease. More than
enough of these humiliations were endured be
fore the war existed. We must now have "an
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,"—blow for
blow, and blood for blood.
THE TONE of the journals in this state that
have been using their columns to give aid and
comfort to the rebels, has attracted more than
the attention and indignation of the people,
which so fearfully manifested themselves in
popular outbreak and the destruction of property.
A higher and a calmer judgment has taken
hold of the matter, and by the following extract
from the report of the Grand Jury of Lancaster
county, we hail the interference of the law as
the omen that the doom of these traitors, which
we have so long predicted, is fast approaching.
We append the extract referred to :
"'The Grand Jury most heartily respond to
the sentiments of the Court delivered in its
charge, upon the present state of the country,
and the duty of all good citizens in the present
crisis; but they deeply regret that a spirit of
disloyalty is manifesting itself in some parts of
the connty, which we believe to be fostered by
a partizan weekly paper in the city of Lancas
ter. '
—The "partizan weekly paper in the city of
Lancaster," alluded to by the above extract, is
the Lancaster lntelligencer, published and edited
by George Sanderson, the Democratic Mayor
of that city. The Intelligencer is btill in the con
fidence of ex-President Buchanan, and doubt
less speaks his sentiments. It certainly has
been giving virulence to the old feeling of spite
and resentment with which the almost forgot
ten bachelor of Wheatland has heretofore op
posed the interests of the free states, by encour
aging all the extravagance and treason of the
slavery aristocracy of the south. And when
Captain Sanderson was doing this, he took eye] y
occasion to express his sympathy for the leaders
of this rebellion, by denouncing those who
were struggling to suppress it, until his con
duct has thus attracted the attention of the
Grind Jury of Lancaster county. The people
should insist upon his resignation, as one who
had insulted the loyalty of the Old Guard, and
brought disgrace to a city which is celebrated
alike for its intelligence and its patriotism.

Among the noble and daring men whom the
crisis in which we are involved has produced,
Governor Yates of Illinois stands very promi
nent. The following proclamation, which he
issued in response to the Secretary of War, is a
specimen of his enthusiasm and devotion. We
print it, because it should be read by every
loyal man in the land :
"Illinoians ! the war is on your hands —the
enemy now, in large numbers, is marching to
ward your borders. Every prominent point on
your rivers is threatened with attaek. Shall it
be said that the numbers, whose object it is to
sustain a government as ours, are not one-third
so large as those which are in arms to put it
down ? Shall the handful of our first volun
teers be required to oppose vastly superior num
bers ? How long shall the brave Seigel, in the
unequal conflict be forced to retreat ? How
long shall the blood of the noble Lyon cry from
the ground unavenged ? How long shall the
fatal blunder and foul blot of Manasses stain
our escutcheon 9
"The cau-e in which you are to engage is a
good one. You are to fight for a government
you love, the very best government on ,earth,,
endeared to you by the bouncllessnef s of! thcl
blessings it confers ; which has protected and
nursed you with all the fondness of a mu( her
for her child ; which his secured our country
tespect at home and abroad, and made the title
'American citizen' prouder than that of 'Rowan
citizen' in the days of the Scipios and truant..
What undying -memories cluster around', it,!:
What joys, what fears, what tears, what smilei,
what destinies, what hopes are associated with
it! The gilt of Washington—the hope of our
children—the asylum of the oppressed of every
nation on earth; to aim for its perpetuity is the
loftiest summit of patriotic aspindion, and to
vindicate it, the most shining height of human
achievement. To fight for, to live fur, to die
for rush a government, is glorious.
"We fight for our nationality, fur the life of
liberty itself, for our Union—for the states to
be one and undivi•.ed, now and forever ; to es
tablish, now and alWays, that there is, a power
in a government of a people, founded upon the
equal rights of all and upon the rights of a ma
jority, to defend itself against all traitt,rs at
home and enemies abroad. Cost what. it may
then—an empty exchequer, ruined credit, pros
trate commerce, and fearful loss of human life
—the war, at any cost, will be cheap ; and his
tory, in all her ample chronicles, shall indite
no sublimer event than the spontaneous upris
ing of this great people to establish the propo
sition which all the ages have - not settled ; that
a free government can be strong enough and
vigorous enough to sustain itself, and that man
is capable of self-government.
"Illinoians ! traitors are marching upon
your National Capitol to tear down the flag
which Washington planted upon its dome, and
which for eighly-five years has waved to the
battle and the breeze—the emblem of our na
tional sovereignty, and the proud ensign of our
national greatness and renown. Let us meet
them, never giving ground, never yielding an
inch, till the tubillant shouts of triumph shall
go up front all our charging columns and all
our victorious legions. Let there be no com
promise till the last traitor shall lay, down his
arms and sue for peace.
"Illinoians! we are soon to make a record of
our state. Each state will be justly emulous to
inscribe her name highest on the scroll of fame,
which the historian of this war has already
commenced to write. Shall not the star which
answers to Illinois be brightest in the galaxy of
the thirty-four ? On many a field of glory she
has written an impelishatde record of her prow
ess, and while the names of her Music', her
Bissell, her Shields and her Baker, and the gal
lant men around them remain, her fame is se
cure.
"Let us now send her proudest chivalry into
the field, and do nothing to mar the glories al
ready achieved. Let us raise an army which,
in numbers, discipline and prowess, shall of it
self be sufficient to sweep the last vestige of
treason from the Alizsippi Valley, and to bear
our flag in triumph to the ends of the Republic.
RICHARD YATES,
"Governor and Commander-in Chief."
SOME or THE NEW YORK JENSEESES still pur
sue the wife of the President of the United
States, as she is vainly seeking rest or recrea
tion on the Ocean shore near Long Branch, N. J.
Here is a description which one of these Prys
print of lam. Lincoln's appearance at a grand
hall given in her honor at Long Branch:—
The cause and motive of all this festivity
came into the midstof it so unobtrusively about
ten o'clock in the evening, that the guests did
not know or acknowledge her presence imme
diately by so much as a murmur or a hush.
When the people found that Mrs. Lincoln was
there, and unheralded, through some hearts at
least there went a thrill to think how the first
lady of America enters among her most inter
ested public without golden foci, mace, or trum
pet—announced only by the simplicity of her
bearing, and the fore-running thought among
all who wait for her, that she holds the tender
eat, strongest, wifely influence over- a mind
which has even more great facts before it than
that of Washington.
We cannot talk of bars. Lincoln's party dress;
we can only pay it old Samuel Johnson's com
pliment—it was so =idly- elegantthatwe never
thought—do not now remember—what it Wu:
Upon her dark brown hair, which thus far is
unflecked by the white of time, (long be it so !)
she wore a simple bandeau of white flowers.
By this coronal alone she could be known in
glimpses among the crowd.
Her face has a wonderful power of lighting
up. She has no power of not smiling when she
is pleased. She speaks of her sick child, and
she is as motherly as our own mother, and of
the absent President, toiling to get at the truth
which underlies immemorial strata of office
seekers, contractors, lobby-men and public bores
in general, left in the lonely crowd that be
sieges the White House, to do a great nation's
work on his own responsibility.
" PIAO2 " is the cry of all the hypocritical
traitors and scoundrels south and north who de
sire "to be let alone" while they rob and des
troy the Government. The Louisville nomad,
of Aug. 20th, bravely spurns the hypocracy
with a spirit worthy of Kentucky. It says:
"All at once there seems to be a great desire
for peace on the part of the secessionists. This
is but a flimsy pretext on their part. They
know as well as we do that peace can be res
tored in thirty days if their traitorous allies and
rulers in the south will cease their war upon
the Government. But while they have their
hearth full of venom, and their hands reeking
with blood, and the blood stained dagger at the
heart of the Government, they cry out peace,
peace ! What sort of peace ? Destroy the
Government; crouch to the despotic sway of
Jeff. Davis; kiss the rod that is raised to chas
tise us, and beg for peace ? Is this the peace
they would sue for? But foetheir unholy am
bition—but for the arrogance of their leaders,
and the blind infatuation of the followers—but
for the long continued system of swindling, and
their persistent course of terror, we would never
have had this war. They began it, let them
cease their strife. Let them as 'Christian men'
(for they lay stress on Christianity) repair as far
as in their power the great wrong they have in
flicted, and the great sin they beim committed.
Let us have no aiding and abetting treason. tin=
der the garb of peace." -

WAsumuTo:4;, Aug. 26
Commander Porter, who w.- s recently deprived
of his command of the sloop of war St. Mary,
on suspicion of disloyalty to the government,
has voluntarily returned to Washington. He
to-day, it is understood, presented to the War
Department an elaborAte document, with proofs
in refutation of the charges, showing that for

The results of Gen Meigs administration of
the Quarter Master's Deparuhent are astonish
ing. The very large number of wagons, horses,
mules and immense amount of equippage and
other army suppl-es, afford direct evidence of
his vigor and efficiency. The soldiers on both
sides of the Potomac are pot only promptly
but satisfactorily furnished with everything
necessary for their military as well as domestic
wants, and this attention to their interests has
largely contributed to the pi esent fine and im

All the large craft, schooners and sloops,

The State Department has been officially in

The arrest of Mayor Berret and his removal
hence produced much sensation but not surprise,
that military measure having previously been
expected. It was not for the reason, menly,
that he refused to take the oath of loyalty as
an ex-officio member of the Board of Police,
authorized by Congress. There were other
grounds, good au.l sufficient to the government
for this procethAng. A guard has temporarily
been placed over his house where his family
still remain.
Of the several women recently taken under
