Now read the .Constitu tion of the United States, and it will be fond that when a State is actually invaded, or even in imminent danger of an invasion, the State may make war.

" Every man to hia post," says Forney, in the Washington C/ironicle of , the 22d.

Let the windy Leaguer buckle on his own armor, and, on his way to the: field of battle, call upon others to follow, and he will meet with , more success.' We have no faith in these .66y-et-he tne patri.443, papspered by the government, who are eternally calling upon othersto save the country, but never thethselves set the example. "Ln the way of present duty," says this•patriot poodle of the kitchen, u nothing io too small, nothing too great for the patriot to undertake." Well, we assign to him a "small" service. Let him raise a com pany of his pet eontrabands in Washington and march against the enemy. He would be, if we can believe his own eulogies of the bleak race, in congenial Company, and hie country men would think better of him than they ever did before.. Let him, by all means, head a negro company and do what he has never yet done, render the State some service. tleuator Trumbull, We publiehed a few days since a very sound, conservative speech; made by Senator Trum bull to, an Abolition meeting at Chicago, du ring the recent disturbance there in reference to Gen. Burnside's order No. 38, suppressing the Tiines newspaper ? For uttering, that speech, which, did him great credit as a stateg= man and supporter of the Constitution and constitutional freedom, he has brought down upon his head the wrath of the whole pack of Illinois fanatics. With that .party he is now "a dead cook in the pit," and for no other reason than that be •refused his - emotion 'to lawleisness 'and Pretiidential and military usurpation. One of the Chicago Abolition organs thus speaks of him: : " Senator , Trumbull takes his stand by the side of Vallandigham and Fernando Wood ! Freedom of speech to utter treason and de stroy .t#e Union is now his doctrine. . "It is just. such conduct as that of Mr. Trumbull in Chicago that will put a Copper head itr the Presidential. chair. It is this con temptible, waking cowardice , of leading men, who should- stand up for the right, that makes the caused' the traitors strong. "Mr. Trumbull is recognized as tke champion of Copperkeadism; and he cane hate the satis faction of reflecting that- he• and his -friends have done more injury to the authority of the President in one hour than they can WET remedy in the balance of their worthless lives!" GENENAL M'CLELLLN. --- The Waphington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes: . The pressure for the reinstatement of 111'Clel lari in the command of the army is almost ir reeistiblet and it is reported on fair authority that the matter is now under cabinet discussion. As the same elements of opposition exist, hoW eVer, a. recall of the General will devolve per sonally upon, the 'President, who may or may not assumelhe responsibility. It is certain, hoarier, that he will not be recalled until the present:threatened engagement is over, and not then,,Lappreltend, should Gen. Hooker prove Suceesefut A' Cunrouis CA'str.

Pre,sently the, - gunboats Pawnee and Uommp dore M'Donougl steamed up to within good range of the rebel batteties, and poured in a deadly_fise from their heavy. guns. The" Union batteries of Folly Island now opened their fire and for three hours the ehdt and shell flew tkiek arid 'fast. We could see that the rebel shot fell short, while those from our batteries and gunboats burst in the'rnidtlit of the rebel batteries. The firing lasted un til sunset, but the result of the engagement was not fully known. The rebels were seen carrylag'off a number of killed and wounded.. During the firing the rebel rams oame out from behind Sumpter and proceeded down about two miles from that fort, where they remained until the engagement was over, not daring to take part in the fight. The same night the whole , roadstead and shipping were brilliantly illaminated for seve ral hours by an extensive conflagration raging in Charleston.
