By order of the Chairman. .
Fuss. SMITH, Secretary.
Governor Curtin has gone on an eleatiopeering
tour to the Army of the Potomac. It is estimated
that the Governor has made no less than three
theueand apeeehes sines the war began. It is ex
pected be win be the Abolition candidate for re
election. If His Excellency could manage to
•ex
tend the term of service of the nine months' men
until the first of next November it would materi
ally improve his chance of amass.
A War of Ideas.
Mr. Julian, of Indiana, in a late speech in
Congress, declared the war to be "a war not
of sections, but of ideas." This is exactly
what we have been contending for all along
but Mr. juliaa's 'Una" are not ours. Mr.
Julian would put down slavery by the war,
and make the idea of the war a crusade against
it ; ue would make the two contending ideas
simply a war for the Union, against a war for
disunion. An "idea" is defined by rhetori
cians a complete conception ; the Union is the
immaculate conception of our Fathom We
don't know any greater idea than its restora
tion—all other ideas are simply ridiculous.
- rite Iresident in Excellent Spirits.
A telegram of yesterday announces the Pre
sident to be "in excellent spirits." We should
like to know why the President is " in excel
lent . spirits." Is he "in excellent spirits"
because the country is net "in excellett
spirits ?". Does the pleasant speaker of para
bles divine some hideous joke in the condition
of our n.tional affairs? President Lincoln's
humor is proverbially curious. He was "in
excellent spirits" on the battle-field of Antie
tam with the jangled corpses of our dead
soldiers around him—in such " excellent
spirits" that he would fain regale himself with
the melody of a negro song. He was "in
excellent spirits" on his way to the White
House, rejoicing, declaring " nobody hurt"—
—in " excellent spirits" until he came to
Baltimore, when he made up his mind sud
denly nobody should be hurt. He was "in
excellent spirits" during the Peninsular cam
paign, for we heard repeatedly in the midst of
its disasters of his funny sayings and of merry
making at the Presidential mansion—oin
excellent spirits" until the Bull Run battle,
when he begged IH'Clellan to save the Capital
and especially Abraham Lincoln. He has been
"in excellent spirits" frequently, and now he
is "in excellent spirits" again. We wonder
what the evil omen means this time—what new
misery awaits ne, when this jesting Pilate "is
in.such excellent spirits."
Speech of General Lane.
General Jim Lane, from Kansas, who now
disgraces the United States Senate by being a
member of that body, mac a characteristic
.a?ecch.before the "Loyal League" in Washing
ton City, on Saturday evening last, (March
;?Ist,) from which we extract the following
choice morsels :
In Unitas, where I live, a Copperhead is not
allowed to remain in the State. If he doesn't
leave when he is ordered to, he is shot down.
["That's the way," and applause] lam in
formed by the Governor of our State, that no
further bask than last Saturday, a Copperhead,
having refused to promptly obey an order to
leave the State, was the same day, before night
closed upon him, found with two bullet holes
through his body. [. , G00d," and applause.]
I have been told that Union•loving men in
this community have been compelled quietly
to hear secession language day by day.—
[••That's so."] But I trust that before the
time comes when I will be so weak as not to be
able to properly resent an insult of that. sort to
my country, God will take me home. [Laugh
ter and applause.]
As Afar as I am concerned, I would like to
live long enough to see every white man now
in South Carolittain hell, and the negro occu
pying his territory. [Loud applause.] All
this may sound to you very wicked, [.' not at
all r] but to me there is no place on earth
that, I think now, ought to be desecrated by a
traitor. [Applause.]
- I bid yon God speed in cleaning out sympa
thizers with treason in the District of Columbia.
[Applause.] It would not wound my feelings
at any day to find the dead bodies of rebel
sympathizers, pierced with bullet holes, in
every street and alley of the city of Washing
ton. [Vociferous applause.] 1 would regret,
however, the loss of the powder and the lead.
[Laughter. A poise.] Hang them ! and save
thaeropes. That's :the. best way. [Loud ap-
Atttoe.] Let them dangle until their Stinking
bodies and fall to the
by - pkiat.. [Enthusiaatin applause.]
*i on - we •take . into account the fact that
these sentimens were uttered by the Hon. (God
save the mark I) Tames Lane, Senator from
Kansas, a prominent and trusted leader of the
party in power, we can form some estimate
of the desperate lengths to which these fa
natics are willieg to go, to retain in their
hands the reins of government, against ,the
express will of the people, and to carry
out their favorite theory of negro equality.
For these purposes "Union Leagues" are being
farmed all over the land, which are gflaii mili
tary organisations, and by which they hope to
browbeat and intimidate free American cid
rens and prevent them from expressing through
the ballot-box their utter condemnation of the
ruinous policy pursued by the present admin-.
istratioa. But they will find that the majority
of the American people are made of sterner
stuff, and that, true to the traditions of the
past, they will peril their lives rather than
give up one jot or tittle of their just rights or
liberties. The Hessio*-Abolition organ over
the way, which is the mouthpiece of the "Loy
al League" in this city, is . teeming from day
to day with the elaboration of the same ideas.
They denounce all who do not follow in their
suicidal course, and threaten them with' death
—the faggot and the flame—and would , doubt
less practise what they preach, were it not for
their coward fears. They invoke the mob—
try to provoke individual violations of the law
—and would no doubt whet the assassin's knife
if they thought they could escape the retribu
tive justice which its use would inflict [upon
them.
Who are the Enemies of Secession and
the Friends of the Union.
The Richmond Enquirer, of March sth, says :
To be plain, we fear and distrust far more these
apparently friendly advances of tke Democrats,
than the open atrocity of philatthropists of Mas
sachusetts. That Democratic party always was
our worst enemy; and but for its poisonous
embrace these Strata would have been free and
clear of the unnatural Union twenty years ago.
It is not the Sewards and Summers, the Black
Republicans and Abolitionists, who have hurt
us. They were right all along ; there was an
" irrepressible conflict." * * * *
* 11 ' * The idea of that odious [De
mocratic] party coming to life again, and holding
out its arms to us, makes us Woe% its foul breath
is malaria; its touch is death.
Precisely so. The Democratic party has
been the only Union party ; it has held the
Union together; and, by the blessing of Pro
vidence, it means to restore it again. That
party is justly "odious" to the secessionists;
it is the worst enemy they have ; it intends to
bring them back to their allegiance. The "ir
repressible conflict" is a doctrine avowedly
common to the Abolitionists and the . Seces
sionists, common enemies of the Union; while
the return of the Democratic party to power
is talked about as the "touch of death" to the
traitors of the Republic. When Jeff. Davis
wants to encourage his drooping soldiers he
quotes the acts of Lincoln and the Abolition
ists ; when secession suffers anxiety, it ie be
cause it fears only the Democracy and the
Union.
At a peril:4 like the present, says the Albany
Argus, when the public mind is excited by the
monstrous usurpations of the administration
at Washington, and the public apprehension
about equally divided between the almost su
perhuman efforts of the States in rebellion to
overthrow the goirernment and destroy its
power, and the almost' dal/p.. 4 a • +o+-.11E? -
slit of the party in power to turn the war to
,partisan advantage, even at the expense of
• every principle of State rights and of.personal
.and public liberty, it becomes the conservative
.men of the country to act with coolness and
judgment, and so to shape their policy as to
defeat the rebels against the government at the
.South, and the conspirators against civil liberty
in the loyal States. The position of the De
mocratic party now is the same which anima
ted the people of the North when, in response
to the invitation of the President to rally to
the aid of the government in a war for the re
storation of the Union, they united as one man
in an enthusiastic movement in behalf of an
object so grand and so glorious. They insist
that the principle then proclaimed by the Pre
sident, as the objeqt and purpose of the war,
shall still be adhered to, and that the depar
ture from that principle, which has marked
the subsequent action of the administration,
eball neither find justification in the public
voice of the country, nor turn the conservative
masses from the line of duty upon a question
which Vitally affects the very foundations
of republican government. Wbo, among all
the Democratic and Conservative millions in
the loyal States, is willing either to submit to
the destruction of our constitutional rights
and the overthrow of our civil liberties by ra
dicals in official or private position, or the
severance of the Union and the breaking down
of our republican system by rebels in arms for
that purpose? Both are equally the enemies
of the government, although the action of one
may be open and undisguised, and of the other
secret and hypocritical. Against both must
the efforts of all true patriotic men—Demo
crate or otherwise—be directed, if we expect
to preserve the semblance of free government,
or avert the threatened overthrow of our na
tional liberties.
No denunciation can be too severe, no public
censure • too pointed, against the monstrous
usurpations and the unparalleled imbecility
which have attended the action of the national
administration. The public liberties have been
trampled upon, private rights have been
outraged, the public honorA has been disregar
ded, official corruption has run riot through
the land, the Constitution,•with all its sacred
guarantees of civil and religious freedom and
protection to person and property, has been
treated with mockery and contempt, and a war,
begun on our part for the restoration *of the
Union and the preservation of our constitu
tional rights, has been perverted to the basest
partisan purposes and used to accomplish
results for which we have no right to appeal
to any power other than that provided by the
fundamental law. ' Is it to be wondered at that
the people are tired of such a war, that the
soldiers, enlisted for a nobler purpose and
fired by a purer patriotism, are disgusted with
the objects to which their services have been
misdirected ?
These are but the natural impulses of the
hutean . heart—Lthe direct and legitimate influ
ences of the folly, the fanaticism and the im•
becility of of those charged with the adminisT
tration of the Government. But have we not
higher aims and purposes--nobler duties .and
more sacred obligations, than would be implied
in a movement to close the war upon the radi
cal Greeley platform by seeking at this time,
or in the next sixty days, "the best attainable
peace?"
Has the object for which the people of the
country flew to arms, for which the property
owners poured out their treasure, and for widen
patriotic men everywhere made sacrifices,-been
accomplished? It is true that while our ener
gies have been devoted to the public enemy in
front, we have suffered most-disastrously from
an insidious foe in our midst, which has sapped
the very foundations of our national life.
Shall we, on this account, abandon the attempt
to maintain the Constitution and restore the
Union ?"
Patience and patriotism are severely tried by
the existing state of things, but let us exercise
:the one and obey the promptings of the other
until the rebel enemies of our government and
the Abolition enemies of our constitutional
rights and liberties are alike disoomfitted.
General News.
We have some interesting news with regard
to the rebel invasion of Kentucky. A dispatch ,
from Cincinnati, received yesterday afternoon,
states that the rebel force in that State is
believed to be about six thousand strong, under
Pegram. It is reported that Wolford's cavalry
captured about three hundred rebels on
Thursday. Clark's guerillas still hover about
Mount Sterling, and over two hundred of his
men have been captured. No apprehensions
are felt for the safety of Lexington. The
wagon trains, stores and camp equipage from
Danville and Richmond reached Lexington in
safety. Among the rebel prisoners captured
were two majors, and one paymaster with
fifteen thousand dollars in confederate money.
The rebel Colonel Taloott was arrested in
New York yesterday, en route for Europe,
and placed in Fort Lafayette. He was the
constructor of the rebel fortifications at York
town and Fort Darling, and formerly was at
tached to the United• States army.
Telegraphic dispatches frOm late rebel papers
indicate that. a large army under Longatreet is
pushing into Kentucky. Skirmishing wee
going on at Camp Dick Robinson, where a
grand engagement was expected to come off
soon.
One hundred rebel prisoners at Camp Chase,
near Columbus, Olde, have signified their wil
lingness to take the oath of allegiance.
A dispatch from Louisville states that rein..
gees from Danville are coming in and some
excitement exists at Lexington, but the popu
lar opinion gains ground that the recent inva
sion of Kentucky was merely a cavalry raid.
Passengers by Ca Frankfort train, which
reached Louisville at 11 o'cloek, A. M. yester
day, disagree in their reports.of the evacuation
of Danville, some affirming and others denying
the fact. The military authorities were not
advised of the evacuation by telegraph and
they consider the report premature.
The foroe of Union cavalry under. Major
Stratton, which was sent from Suffolk to re
lieve the garrison of General Foster's command,
who were hemmed in at Winfield, N. C., as we
reported yesterday, has just been beard from.
They were in full pursuit of the enemy, who
fled on their approach across the Chowan river
with the aid of flatboats and rafts. General
Foster subsequently destroyed these appliances
of escape by the fire of his gunboats. The
fi g ht war. of - short duration, but while it lasted
was kept up on both sides in a.spirited manner.
We had eight of the Eleventh Pennsylvania
cavalry wounded in the encounter.
General Burnside bas assumed command of
the Department of Ohio, and has issued his
order announcing the fact, which is declared
most satisfactory. Indiana is made a separate
military district, under Gen. Carrington, who
reports to Gen. Burnside.
By the arrival of the steamer Delta at Halifax
yesterday, we have dates from St. Thomas to
the 17th, and Bermuda to the 23d. The U.
S. steamer Vanderbilt reached St. Thomas on
the 15th. The government at Barbadoes in
vited Admiral Wilkes to dine, but the veteran
patriot declined, saying that the government
had entertained the pirate Maffit. AdMiral
Wilkes had transferred his flag from the Wan
chusetts to the Vanderbilt. The former was
at St. Thomas on the 16th, also the British fri
gate Phaeton and two blockade runners, one
named the Aries and the other unknown. Ad
miral Wilkes threatened to seize both vessels.
The Aries sailed'on the 16th, but observing pre
parations on th%part of Admiral to pursue,
turned back and anchored. The captain of the
Aries applied to the Phaeton for protection,
which was afforded. The Vanderbilt left on the
16th, it was said for Havanna. On the morning
of the 17th the Phaeton conveyed the two
blockade runners out. The 11. S. steamer Wan-.
&watts did not follow. The commander of
the Phaeton had communicated with Admiral
Wilkes regarding the seizure of the Petershoff.
The bark Fame sailed from St. Thomas on the
27th with the crew of the burned ship Jacob
Bell on board. It was reported that the captain
of ihe Princes Royal was a passenger per the
Delta.
The neutral steamer Nicholas, with a valua
vie cargo eormisting partly of sixteen tons of
powder and one hundrei and seven'y cases of
rifles, was recently captured by the United
States steamer Victoria, off Wilmington, North
Carolina.
An attempt was made to burn the quarter
master's store houses at Norfolk on Thursday
morning. The incendiaries were discovere4 in
time to thwart their designs.
We have four days later news from Europe.
On the occasion of the wedding illumination in
London seven women were crushed to death,
and upwards of one hundred persons had their
limbs broken. Several riots occurred and the
streets had to be cleared by soldiers at the
point of the bayonet. The pirate Alabama
spoke an English vessel and reported that
she had destroyed thirty-four American crafts.
LangeWitZ has been proclaimed dictator of
Poland and has issued a stirring address to the
Poles. Gen. Wysoke has been appointed his
military coadjutor and director. The civil
administration has been intrusted to Poent
zowski. It is reported that all the indepen
dent members of the Council of the State
of Poland have sent in their resigna
tions- A Cabinet Council Ma been held
in Paris, to consider what action
was necessary in regard to the dispatch from
the Czar, declaring that he can listen to no
overtures or terms of compromise so long as
the Poles are in armed insurrection. Prince
Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris,
was about to proceed to Vienna. The
Secretary of the Prussian legation at Paris
bad gone to Berlin to confer with his govern
ment in regard to the Polish question. A Cra
,ow telegram of the 10th inst. says that prepa
rations are being made by both the Poles and
Prussians for a great battle.
The question of French intervention has
evidently received a quietus inlw despatch re
cently issued by hi. Drouyi de Lhuys to the
Minister of the French government at Wash
ington, which comprises an answer to Mr.
Seward's memorable note of the 6th ultimo.—
The spirit of the dispatch forwarded by M.
Drouyn de Lhuys involves a withdrawal on the
part of France from all further offer of medi
ation—a course which she has adopted with
regret—and assumes henceforth the part of a
simple spectator in the contest, confining her
self to following merely the course of events.
At the same time the Cabinet of Louis Napo
leon expresses its sorrow that its suggestion!,
as expressed in its counsels on the 9th of Janu . -
ary, were not more fully comprehended by Mr.
Seward': but it declares that its opinions remain
unchanged, notwithstanding the arguments of
our Secretary of State. The" idea of French
intervention may therefore be•considered at an
end, unless the "course of events" should
again call it into life.
It was rumored, and generally credited in
Paris, that Napoleon was disposed to-negotiate
with the Mexicans in the neighborhood of
Puebla—perhaps,after some successes obtained
by his troops, and then retire from the country,
leaving the Mexicans and the Latin race to
"civilize" themselves after their own fashion
and as best they may.
The Rebel Gen. Price was lately at Little
Rook, Ark., with the intention of gathering up
the scattered army once under Hindman and
hurting somebody therewith. The Union
troops, however, were - wide awake and keeping
a sharp look out both to the front and the
rear.
Refugees froin Richmond,.at Fortress Mon
roe, say that the rebels are expecting the
evacuation of that city and of nearly all of
Virginia very soon. These refugees repeat the
story of high prices.
A number of forts, redoubts and minor de
fenses have just been oompleted at Acquia
creek. The works were executed by the troops
of Gen. Geary's division, who are stationed at
that point. A portion of Gen. Geary's com
mand at Dumfries have similarly fortified that
position.
