whence they can be easily forwarded to their
homes and friends in Pennifylvania, or to the
hospitals which &iv. Curtin his , provided icor
their reception within the limits of the com

the War Departthent has placed at the disposal
of Surgeon General Smith,. V., a large clam

medical staff, and tar inexhaustible supply of
medical and hospital atores.

liberal character necessary for the proper care
of the Pennsylvanians who may be injured in
the impending fight at Yorktown ; and while
they ensure the greatest hnmanity for our own _

the opportunity of extending that humane care
to the heroes of other states. ThM3 while some

GOOD EVIDEIVOE OF TREASON.
every act of legislation devised for the pun
ishment of traitors and the suppression of re
bellion, has other influences than those for
which it was particularly , designed. While
such legislation is °paraffin with powerful of
feet on treason, it is also to a certain degree
developing the latent sentiment of locofoco
sympathy for treason which has always existed
in the free states. Thus for instince, the law
which declares the capital of the only free gov
ernment on tbe face of the globe, also free, has
had its tendency in this respect, and baa proven
more tbanono themorth traikir„who.
had managed to conceal his sympathy in his
silent hopes and antioipation. Because that
law imposes a .test oath_on:known secessionists,
it it pronounced:oppressive ; and because It al
lows no man remuneration for his property in
human flesh, if that man isra suspected or an
avowed . traitor, it is declared " excessively .
absurd."
Whoever heard thesepsdtroons deplore the fact
that thonsanda Of young and old men gave, up

To which the 'President replied that Repub

adaptation to the highest interests of society,
the preservation'of the State itself against the
Violence of faction. Elsewhere on the Ameri
can continent it is struggling against the 'in
roads of anarchy, which invites foreign inter

draw closer together and animate and reassure
each other, and thus prove to the world that,
although we have inherited some of the er

capable of completing and establishing the

largely depends the progress of civilisation

The gunboat Yankee has arrived from near

Washington has, almost , daily, rumors of
Cabinet changes, bale they are known to ori

nalists rarely take notice of them, unless it be
to contradict them when they' are too chronic:
The sensation of }Le hour has been the transfer
of Secretary Welles horn the navy portfolio to

numerous gestlernen as his successor. It is
hardly necessary to say that thereto not a word
