TEE NEWS
~ril'j(. •)af..:}
The news to-day, from the fleet and the army
is of the most glorious and satisfactory charac
ter: The very citadel of rebellion, Charleston,
has 'been beseiged by the Federal troops, and
as We write the flag of the Stars and Stripes is
possibly flying where the folds of the ragged
flag of treason displayed the forked tongue of
the' rattle snake. The soil of South Carolina
heti been pressed by the heels of brave men and
loyal citisene, a consumation ever to be remem
bered in the future "annals of the country.
The news from Kentucky is also cheering.
Rebellion in that commonwealth is being pm
sued Anil surrounded steadily and sternly to its
bitter .end. Our telegraphic summary contains
the most important dispatches in reference to the
movements of the federal troops in that state
Altogether, we can rejoice over the results es
they are being achieved in the land of rebellion
by the federal forces. The prowess of our arms
and, the authority of our government are both
belt% gloriously vindicat.d and sustained.
HOW ifOLELLAN BECAME SUCCESSOR
OF OBIVIEAL seorr.
We have heard Many inquiries made how it
wad that Genera' McClellan became the Corn
maild'er-in-Chief upon the resignation of Gen.,
13co s ti'frem active service. It occurred in this
wise: At the outset of the rebellion we had
but two Major Generals, Winfield Scutt and
David Taiga, the former of whom, by virtue
of his seniority, was the Commander-io-Chief.
Thititle of Lieutenant General, conferred upon
Boole* Congress, gave him no additional com
mand, but increase of dignity and higher pay
and were attached to it, He was the
oldest Major Geneml, , and as such was the Cora
mafideSiii-Chief of our forces. Twiggs, on
account of his defection to the south, was die
mithiild froth the army. A new batch of Major
Generals were created shortly after the war
broire'dut,' consisting of McClellan, Fremont,
tilt and Batiks. Of these, McClellan's com
mission was first issued, which made him the
oldtet Major Otateral, next TO ticott, and Com
mander-in-Chief u'pon his retiracy. Had Mc
, Olellannever.reclined, but continued in the
regular service, 'he could hardly have been
bigber..than Major, and probably not higher
than Captain. His resignation was lucky for
him, for it gave him a chance to come in ahead
of Wool, Tierney, Hunter and all the old Briga
dier Generals who have been in the service for
thirty or forty years:
RICONST.RUCTION.
It le alleged by those who know, and who
have every facility for acquiring information
among Ws semi -rebels of Washington city, that
a aiming feeling is being developed in the south
for,a mcoustzra4ion of the Union. The feeling
is paitiesilarlY.evinced among the °•first fami
lief; of Virginia, who begin to observe a dim
prospect in the future for the sinecures into
which they are accustomed toretiretheir sons, in
the Army, Navy and Departments of the federal
government. The rebel government does not
promise any such snug places as were afforded by
the now despised federal powers, and, therefore
these gentry, despairing of success or reward in
thelebgkronfederacy, Are agitating a question
of reconstruction with a view of making a pro
potition WWI coming session of Congress, which
will make reconstruction popular as well as pro
fitable among themselves. Under these circum
stances, it would be well for the loyal men of
tivpland to watch these propositions for recon
struction. There cannot be such an object
acilbmed and at the same time preserve the
dignity and power of the federal government.—
BelCußetraption is humiliation. The rebels must
either yield or be beaten into submission. They
must yecogniste the authority of the federal gov
ernment, or that gove:nment must be•exhaust
ed. in, its efforts to, crush rebellion. To recon
struct is to re-assert the right of secession. Let
this be, the argument against the proposition in
all its shapes. . .

DESOLATION WMING HOME TO TREA-
The accounts which have been received for a
day or two of the progress of the fleet south
ward, of their bombardment of certain towns,
and of their landing and marching towards
Charleston, cannot fail to impress the loyal
reader with a sense of gratification and delight.
Desolation and death are about to be visited
where treason was , conceived and envenomned.
Such a turn in the affairs and the effects of re
bellion was never anticipated, because the rebels
calculated that the marine force of the federal
government.would be required in the blockad
ing of southern ports, the protection of northern
commerce from the pirates sailing under the , re
bel flag, and the preservation of the trade con
stantly going on between northern ports. The
idea of an immense fleet leaving any of the
loyal porta to visit the rebel coast ?or offensive
operation, bombardment, landing and invasion,
never entered the head of the post-sagacippa
rebel,' raid tfieteferi-whine theladiti eltteMilg
the success of the southern fleet begin to be
learned ,and understood in the interior of the
southern countin the knOirledge' will spread
terror and dismay through their camps and
scatter their armies to their immediate homes
either to assume hypocritical-loyalty and neu
trality, or desperately to Oppose the progress of
the federal troops.
That Soith. Carolina should have been the
state first selected for the landing of the fleet
was both demanded by justice and made ap
propiiate. as: a .101 Km td. commonwealths 1e
imbued with treason. There is not in the whole
state a roof which has not sheltered or a hearth
which has not welcomed a traitor in shape;
and to these the, terrible effects of treason
be made manifest. They must be visited with
fire and sword, or our efforts to crush rebellion
will become a mockery in, the sight of the
world. They must 'be beired into the ashes of
their own altars and homes, or there can be no
security vouchsafed te.the, loyal,ilbmes of this
nation, no Peace for our Sitire, no recognition
for governmental authority, no security for the
Union, and only grim despair and • uncertainty
for the future.
Let us, rejoice that the hand of justice is at
length . it the throat of treason, and that
the cry of On to Richmond can now pass along
the encampments and lines of the Potomic,
with the prospect of but a, weak opposition., to
obstruct the march of our troops to the rebel
capital. This suggests itself by, the fact that
the news of the progress of the fleet will dis
hearten and disband the rebel forces in Vir
ginia. Every rebel home will now need de;
fence. Every rebel plantation and its chattle
will need watching, not to save thew from the
abolitionists, but from the aroused power of an
outraged and Indignant government Let us
then watcu and play and rely on the result of
the conquests( of tldsfletitus a cbinplete overthrow
and crushing out of rebellion. Let us be'satis
fied, too, that the hand of retribution it about
to fall on thee° who have invoked, by their
treason, its desolating bloWt. -

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, in core
menting on the condition of the Union border
states says that the states of Delaware, Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri are permanently
secured in the Union. Western Virginia, whose,
people have voted to establish a new state,
balled Kanawha, may be regarded as a fifth
Border Slave State that still clings to the old
flag. The people , in each of the' states named'
have resolied that they will' have nothing to do
with the; rebellious GoVermikent that wea cre
ated by the cotton states for their especial ad- .
vantage. Nothing can be olearer than the le
cisiOn thin; rendered. It has been giv'en not
withstanding appeals, bribes' and menaces from'
the South, and it may now be consfderid as the
final resolve of the citizens in favor of the
Union.
The case of Maryland, whdie people voted'
last week, is the most significant of the 'wishes
of the people of the Border Slave States, beca
it is the most recent. 'lt is bated on the long
est experience of the rebel confederacy. Grant
that a majority of the people of Maryland sym
pathize with the more , soitthern states; Still
they have been able to, discover that their : in
terests direct them towards rebellion and a sev
erance of the ties that unite, them to the _great
majority of the states. By remaining _loyal,
Maryland has been saved from the devastation
of war. The armies of the Union have protected
her peoAti i ipitkcp.pitittOdetp t .filiakt hivb Ipitl

produce, and driving out' ll healthy and honest
industry. It was wiser in pite people,. of o Mary

will'be upon its pro Per ground, and it must

DEATH OF AHE BON. WM. A. MAHE
The Philadelphia papers inform us that Hon.
Crabb, formerly of the State Senate,
died in that city on Saturday the 9th inft., in
the forty-ninth year of his age. Few who
have visited Harrisburg during-the sessions of
the legislature within the last twentyfive years,
but'will remember thisdisting-uished gentlenian
and faithful public servant. -For more than
a score of years Mr. Crabb represented the
city of Philadelphia in the Senate, and for
one or two sessions in the lower House serving
as Speaker, we believe, for one of those sessions.
No man in Pennsylvania has ever for so long
a period represented the same constituency; for
it is not the habit of the people of our State to
continue their representatives in office beyond
one or tw'C'terms, be their qualifications what
they may. ' `Mr. Crabb, however, filled his posi
tion whileke retained his health so entirely to
the satisfaction of those Vito sent him—that - for
that long:period none other could have been
elected. ° Thus the system of rotation in office
was not permitted to‘operate in hie ease although
'so universally practiced in our own and most
other of the - northers states. :Wm. Orabb was
an indefatigable worker for his constituents—
nnremittingin his close attention to his duties.
His correspondence was exceedingly voluiiin
ous, as hie,,practice was never to leave - a
'letter unanswered. His. health-at Jash,broke
down in 1807 under these severe tours of
duty, and on this account alone he was not
again called upon to perfortn them.- • His
disappearance from his - long -accustomed seat
seemed aosnally to have-cast a gloom over
the Senate thamber—for his bright eye and
handsome farm gracefully filled that part of the
forum which he had4ippropriated - to himself;i
and his clear,ringing voice added-an interest to
the debates - in which he frequently took,part.
We republish froin onr own columns some
playful lines written by a friend of his here, (a
hand which will probably . liaiecOgnized,) mcit.
sinned by his first absence,.
It'seems tppropriatte that they should be read
again now that that absence is prolonged infi
nitely and , irrevocably by the hand of death :
