"Ariake, arise, or be forever fallen !"
It seems to us that for the past iwo years
We have been in a terrible dream, front - which

and God grant that those who hold- the detli

be gifted vritit'wiedom. to see and pursue the
line of duty.
What we want iff peace, the reign of the
Constitution, and, a restored 'Onion, with the
old fraternal feeling, constituting
• one peo

This 'accursed war has already brought us to
the very verge of ruin. Financially we are
alMost engulphed; and, under military rule,
Liberty, fettered by the rude hand,of power,
gagged and wounded, is struggling; `panting
for existence. "Already have our quarrels
filled the land with widows and with Orphans "

in the South—and - there has been thr3ugh all
this fierce -struggle—which would' - grow, if
properly encouraged, and soon compel the lead
ing conspirators, in whose hands unfortunately
are the reins of government, to come tb terms,
or vacate their positions. The . experiment,
whatever might be the result, is worth try

his duty if he refuse ter adopt this policy,and
the result will be a Complication of affairs more
intricate and hying than any which has yet
troubled the minds of the. Cabinet or pained
the hearts of a suffering and patient people.
But there are other considerations apart from
reasons based upon purely domestic •intereets
which should have weigbt at Washington, and
induce early and magnanimous action.

We do not intend to enlarge upon theme Con

show their importance, aad, if the Administra

The French are in Milk° in force—and not
only in Mexico, but in the capital of that, sin
ter republic—and. not only are they in the °apt
ital., but they are there organizing tv govern
ment upon a Akin prescribed - by the EmperOrt
who is constantly sending forward reinforce
ments, and, from every indication, intends to
make the occupation permanent. He is'there
fbre a close neighbor ; strong in Militsry re
:neural, anthiiionS in itip tiosirts, oubtle hi his
designs, and quick in his movements. He means,
more than Mexico—bis eyes are' directed to
ward.the months of the Mississippi. Louisiana
was once a province. of France, and, holding
Mexico, the Gulf is open to his fleets, and there
is nothing 'Between his land forces And Tates
but the Rio Grande.
Neither is Great Britain asleep. She . is
watchipg the destroying process with deep in
terest—she professes to weep over our mis
fortunes and our great sufferipgs—ehe claims
to be neutral ; but while she is weeping and
proclaiming neutrality, she ie building war
ships for the Confederates, to facilitate the
progress of mutual destruction, and she is pla
cing Canada in a condition for offense, filling it
with the materiel of war, disciplining the image,
and making every preparation for action when
the time shall arrive to strike with certainty of
success.
Let this war for The emancipation of the
negro be tarried on another year under the
direction of the miserable fanatics who have
heretofore guided and controlled it—let the
armies now in the field be- decimated or .de
stroyed, and like Samson . we shall be shorn of
our locks—our strength will begone. Then the

exceeding folly, we shall fall. au easy prey to

WASHINGTON ITEMS-,JULY 23.
LEE'S 'AHXY REPORTF.D IS A TIGHT PLACE.
The relative situations, of the armies in irk:
'ginia.is to-day-clearly. understood here. It is
apparent that Genera Meade haf
~t.bo rebel
army of Led completely entrapped. He is eti--)
dently massing
.his forces to break Mr way
through to Richmond, but will probably find it
a more difficult undertaking than the one at
Gettysburg. -
After sll•the , delay, there is not much pros
pect of Lee being able to get his army hack tQ
Richmond, or even so far as the upper end of
the Shehaudoah valley.
THE ORGANIZATION. OF COLORED TROOPS.
The War Department is pushing the bread
zation of colored troops vigorously. The sus
ceases of our forces West have given a fresh'
impetus to enlistment among the blank; and
by autumn ft is estimated that at least 100,000
negroes will be in arms in the valley Of the
Mississippi.. It has been decided,to raise four
colored regiments in the District. The first is
complete, and the second rapidly . approaching
completion.
DEUEL WOUNDED AT aETTyszurto.
Five thousand wounded rebels still remain
on the Gettysburg battle-field, kindly oared for
by our surgeons. Many of them, it is reported,
have asked not to be sent South, where they
will be again compelled to fight against the
Union.
