The Lela 'Speech of Stephen A. Douglas.
In the:: sPiieeh - made by Stephen A.
Douglas i:ist ii3hteago, May Ist, he used
these adtarable and memorable words :
"Whaver is not prepared to sacrifice
party organisations and platforms on the
altar of his leountry does not deserve the
support and . ci)untenance of honest people.
Howpre we ,to overcome partizan antipa^
thies in the minds of all parties so as to
present a united front in support of our
country? We must cease_ discussing party
issues, make no illusions to old party tests,
have no crimination and recriminations,
indulge in no taunts one against the other,
as to who has been the cause of these
&oak&
'.'Then we shall have rescued the Gov
erntneut and country from its perils, and
seen its flag floating in triumph over every
inch of American soil, it will then be time
enough to inquire as to who and what has
brought these troubles upon us. When we
shall have a country in a Government for
our children to live in peace and happiness,
0 will be time for each of us to return to
our p arty . banners according to our own
contat/ow of right and duty. Let him be
marked as no true patriot who will not
abandon all such issues, in times like this."
"Hz who is not for his country is against
her. There is no neutral position to be
occupied. It is the duty of all zealously
to supportthe Government in all its effot3
to bring this unhappy civil war to a speedy
conclusion."—GEN. Cass.
"Do not give up the Union. Preserve
it in the name of the Fathers of the Revo.,
lutlon—preserve it, for its great elements of
good—preserve it in the sacred name of
Liberty—preserve it for the faithful and
devoted lovers of the Constitution in the
rebellious States—those who are persecu
ted for its support, and are dying in its de.
fence. Rebellion can lay down her arms
to Government—Government cannot sur.
render to rebellion."—Hos. DA.N'L S.
DICKENSON, of New York.
"I am for supporting the governmen t.—
Ido not ask who administers it. It is the
government of my country, and as such I
shall-give it in this extremity all the sup
port in my power, I regard the pending
contest with the Secessionists as a death
struggle for Constitutional Liberty and
Law."—JOHN A. Dix.
THE UNION CONVENTION.
So far as we have learned the names
of the delegates to the Union Conven.
tion, which meets to-morrow, the people
have fully done themselves justice. ' In
all the districts from which we have
heard the meetings were very large, and
evinced the fact that every voter has
taken a deep interest in .the Union
movement. We think this Convention
will be such an one as the people of Al
legheny county have seldom witnessed,
and will truly and fairly represent the
wishes of the people of the county.
DR AFTI NC.
It is daily becoming more and more
evident that the government is not ob
taining soldiers as fast as it wants them.
The volunteer system has placed in the
field thousands of the best men in the
country, but still more are needed. The
crisis is evidently approaching when
mere volunteering will not supply the
number of men which the government
will requite. In the Western States
there has been,no difficulty in obtaining
soldiers. The people have turned out
for the Union like true men. In the
East there appears to be more difficulty.
MasOachusetts,iNew England generally
and New York do not seem to show as
much zeal for fighting as they do for
talking. This may be accounted for in
various ways, but the result is inevitable
—the conscription. • .
Under the Constitution there is no
doubt that the Government has power
to draft men for the public service. It
is a mode of raising troops which is well
caloultifed' to test the temper of the
people of the nation. It puts individual
patriotism to the test. It distributes
thd hardships and sufferings of the war
fairly among all classes of society and all
parties in politics, and each section and
State of the Union would be obliged to
contribute its proper quota of men to j
fight the battles of the country.
The power of the government to draft
is indisputable, and of the duty of the
citizen there can be no doubt. No man
who is called by name to fight will dare
to shrink from his duty. If drafting
has to be resorted to, the sooner the
better for the country. The national
interests must not suffer for want of
defenders.: The fear that public opinion
would not sanction an army of more
than seventy.:fivelhousand men left us
at the mercy of the rebels at Bull Bun.
There is,no need now to distrust popular
sentiment,
PART'S GOING UNDER.
The New York Tribune has been em
phatically a partizan sheet—in times
past, bitter and 'unrelentine. Now its
tone has changed. We commend the
following paragraph from its columns to
the especial attention of our neighbors
of the Gazette. The Tribune in speaking
of the Union Ticket nominated in New
York, says:
"With pride and pleasure we point to
the ticket, so happily and encouragingly
placed le nomination by the two patriotic
Conventions at Syracuse on Wedn eae

UNION MOVEMENTS.
The conduct of oar neighbors of the
Gazette in regard to the great Union move ,
meats which are taking place all over the
country is a little queer. We could fill
our columns with accounts of the inde.
pendent action of the people all over the
country to present an undivided front for
I sustaining their government. In New
York State a Union ticket hag been formed
upon a national basis. The same has been
I done in Ohio. The people here in our own
county are engaged in a similar effort to
displace partizanship. Our neighbors of
the Gazette seem to be singularly ignorant
that these great popular movements are in
progress. Their columns are silent on the
subject. Like blind guides, leading the
blind, they still` seem to be tied to the
traces of office seeking politicians. The
morning of the Republican Convention
the Gazette, editorially, favored a Union
ticket; the morning after, it announced,
with apparent satisfaction, the nomination
of a straight-out Republican ticket. Is it
so bound to party that party must over.
rule all other considerations? Why does
it ignore the Union movements of the
people here and elsewhere ?
The Intention.
A very intelligent lady of Washington
City, and an excellent Union woman,
who has, at her own house, been feeding
and nursing our sick soldiers, made an
effort, a few days ago to get her daugh
ter home from Virginia, where she has,
for some time, been on a visit to near
and dear relatives of Southern proclivi
ties. A communication was sent to the
mother advising her to allow the daugh
ter to remain, as a matter of security, as it
was the purpose of the army to cross the
Potomac in a few days, and enter Wash
ington. In addition to this, we have the
evidence of escaped fugitives, of intelli
gent Confederate newspaper correspon
dents, of editors of Southern papers,
and of numerous private correspondents,
all tending to show an intention on the
part of the rebel leaders to invade
Washington. Whether this "intention"
will ever be brought to the test of a trial
does not yet clearly appear. There is one
thing certain, however, that Gen.
Clellan is ready to receive them with the
strongest force that can be gathered on
the sacred soil of Virginia.
The New York Seventy-first at the
Battle of Stone Bridge.
The London Illustrated News of August
31st has the following reference to the Sev
enty.(first New York Regiment at the battle
of Scone Bridge :
"Our special artist in the Confederate
camp, referring to an engagement between
the Seventy first New York and an Ala
bama Regiment at the battle at Bull Run,
which forms the subject of our illogtratian
on page 226', writes as follows: This was
the only case in which I saw two regiments
positively engage each other, and tueeo did
no more than blaze away at each other at
a distance of three hundred yards, until
both were badly cut up. The Alabama
Regiment especially suffered, and when
they retired they left the ground covered
with their dead and wounded. The Seven
ty.ll rat, lost heavily; but the!, behaved ex,
ceodinyly well, loading and jitmg a 8 though
an parade. I think that if the bayonet had
been used mote freely the matter would
have been sooner decided, and with less
lose of life. On the bill at the back a Con
federate battery was playing on the Sav•
enty.first. I was on the right of the latter
regiment."
Arrival of Ships-of-War Oil Port Ma
con--Rebel Troops Hurrying to Beau
fort, &c.
Louis'ai.LE, Sept. I3.—A Newborn (N.
C.) special despatch to the Charleston
Mercury of the Sth says that "a Yankee
war vessel appeared off Beaufort last night.
When the train left last night it was re
ported that four vessels were in the Sound
and others coming in. Only one, however,
is known to be here. A :number of de.
tackled companies have already left for
Beaufort, and General Gatlin, with the
seventh regiment of North Carolina
troops, Colonel Campbell, will leave this
morning for the same destination. Colo.
net Barnes' regiment is already 'at Beau-
fort. General Gatlin thinks Fort Macon
cannot he taken."
NiTimuravolir, N. C., Sept. 9.—Four

Fart Macon at seven o'clock Saturday af
ternoon. Their object is not known.
Tile Reported Trouble with Major Gel
oral Fremont.
611 sorts of reports are In circulation
relative to General Fremont and the visit
of Postmaster Blair and Quartermaster
thineral Meigs to St. Louis. These re.
ports are not only current here, but are
telegraphed all over the country. I have
ascertained the facts in the case.
I'he gravest difficulty at St. Louis was
personal, between General Fremont and
Colonel Frank P. Blair, jr. It arose from
different causes, and was manifested on
various occasions, public and private.—
Confident hopes are entertained that it has
now been substantially adjusted.
Complaints aro made, from sources
which have received consideration, against
General Fremont, for alleged inaccessi
balty to persons having important busi.
naps with him, and an indisposition to
cooperate cordially with the State officials.
'Ws probable that the ground for such
dissatisfaction will be removed.
General Fremont's prociamatfon, which
was written and promulgated without con
sultation with anybody, will be modified
to% certain extent by the President. He
requires, or requests, General Fremont, in
a letter already written, to be made public
in a few days, to interpret his proclama,
Won so as to make it accord with the law
of t Congress passed at the recent session.—
This is the substance. Ido not undertake
togive you his language; but my authori
ty/for all these statements is the highest
thothe case admits of.
he relations between President Lincoln
a4d General Fremont continue amicable.
The President sent Postmaster General
Blair out to St. Louis as a friend of Gen
erpl Freinont's. Quartermaster General
Meigs went on other business—simply to
investigate the Quartermaster's Depart..
meat there.
No other charges, except those men
tioned, which have any weight at all with
the President, have been made against
General Fremont.
Tetra. Fremont left Washington in goqd
spirits tosday, on her return to St. „Istmis.
A DESPATCH from Washington states
that the Proclamation ofUen. Fremont
decreeing the freedom of all slaves of
Rebels, in common with the confiscation
_ot other property, will be sustained by
thi) Government. If the act of confisca
is just or legal at all it is difficult

Law of Nlieibinnee and Treason.
From the bia'ional intelligeneer.
The law of treason and allegiance re
cently 'ninety for judicial examination
in the case of Charles A. Greiner, in the
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania befeie
Judge Cadwalader. Mr.Greifier,
pears, was a native of Philadehihiajmt
a citizen of Georgia, and was, a mem
i ber of a volunteer military company in
the service of Georgia, which shortly
before the secession of that State by
order of her Governor, took possession
of Fort Pulaski, within its limits, over
Which jurisdiction had been ceded to
the Federal Government. The com
pany garrisoned the fort until the Geor
gia ordinance was published when with
out having encountered resistance, they
leftit in possession of her Government.
After these acts Greiner visited Penn
sylvania, and was there arrested under
a charge of treason. The Court held:
I—That though his immediate pur
pose in visiting Philadelphia was ap
parently neither belligerent nor treason
able, the motive of his visit was on ac
count of his prior hostile relations to the
United States, liable to: just suspicion.
He. was required, therefore, to give se.
curity to keep the peace, and be of
good behavior in all cases arising under
the Constitution and laws of the United
States.
ll—When a body, large or small,`, of
armed men is mustered iu military ar
ray for a treasonable purpose, every
step which any one of them takes, by
marching or otherwise, in part execu
tion of this purpose, is an overt act of
treason in levying war, Any such ag
gravated breach of the duty of allegiance
to an existing Government as may tend
to its total or partial 'ubversions, in a
general sense, within the political defi
nition of treason.
lll—Their occupation of a fortress,
in order to take it from the dominion
of a Government to which they owe al
legiance, is treason in every one of
them concerned in the capture or sub
sequent detention of the post, though
they may encounter no hostile resistance
in the capture or the detention.
11 7 —A private soldier or a subordi
nate officer, serving under the command
of a military superior, cannot excuse a
treasonable act on the ground of com
pulsion, unless he wasfOreed, under a
personal fear of death, into the service,
and quitted it as soon as he could. The
long-established doctrine is that the
fear of having houses burned or goods
spoiled is no excuse in the eye of the
law for joining and marching with reb
els; the only force which excuses on
the ground of compulsion is force upon
the person and present fear of death,
which force and fear must continue all
the time of military service with the
rebels.
AUGUST 16th.
There are two kinds of news which mili
tary men can learn from newspapers—that
which is gleaned by analysis of the con
tents, the vette of which depends on the
materials and the skill of the operas
tor; and direct intelligence, the worth of
`which is in proportion to its correctness.
To tell a Gonersl'that a work' is well built
is likeeacquainting him that Troy was
strong. To tell him that such a regiment
was in such a place, trivial as it seems,
may be of immense use to him if ho knows
how the divisions and the 'brigades of his
enemy are composed. A fort differs from
an earthwork as much as an iron-plated
frigate from the Trojan house. But in its
way the horse may be made the ruin of
Troy. If I were to state that a fort con
Wiled so many guns, and that they bore
on such and such points, I might lead my
military friend into a fatal error if I did
not inform him that there wasp ditch with
twelve feet water in it outside. If the
position of the magazines were indicated
to an investing force, it would be worth
much more than the knowledge of thecali
bres of the guns, which are soon ascertain
ed by tangible proofs. There are hundreds
of points of this kind which igno
rance requires to be informed as to worth
and uselessness. It is necessary to say so,
because en outcry has come from the South,
I hear, against me for communicating to
the enemy—viz : the North—intelligence
which I was enabled to acquire in my ca
pacity as a neutral. Now, let me say,
that though I was neutral 1 was the special
correspondent of a newspaper published n
long way oil, and that 1 distinctly stated
to every officer whose command 1 visited,
on both sides, that I was going to publish
so much of what 1 saw as appeared to me
likely to interest the roadeis of the journal
I represented. I went so far as to say to
more than one, "Mind ! what I write will
come back in a month or six weeks." I
saw everything, but I was far (coin pubs
lishing everything. I did more than could
have been expected from me, for I did not
enter upon details, which would have peen
far more injurious to the Southerners
than the general statements 1 made in ref
erence to the condition and position of their
men and batteries. When 1 sot out to
visit the South from Washington hoatilia
ties had not commenced, but I felt they
were coming, and it appeared to me desir
able to visit the South before the hot
weather physically set in, and above all,
before the hotter weather politically which
I apprehended Caine upon me. It was ob
vious that, with the coasts blockaded and
mails cut off, it would have been of little
use for your correspondent to hive been in
the South, unless he had adopted the inges
nious expedient of the representative of
one of your contemporaries, and published
his letters in a l:cal paper before be sent
them to London. I made my tc to. to the
South as a neutral, but those who met me
will du me the justice to admit that I never
concealed my opinions, or simulated those
which I did not feel, as my letters after
wards could have shown. I may claim
for myself the cre , it cf having spoken
boldly and openly to all men—more than
onc e or twice to the di3turbanoo of the
agreeable social relations which I held
with men who were socially all 1 could
wish, and whose kir d noes and courtesy—
nay, more, whose actual friendship, I shell
always remember. And all that time I
was undergoing the savage censure of the
northern per ass because I went- to the
South at all, amid saw with my own eyes
what they could not see, and did riot take
all their wyths es gospel Very soon
atter I arrived 1 Washington I was invi
ted to the house of a cabinet minister,
when. I met a very energetic officer of the
naval department, who asked me point
blank, -In what state are their works at
Memphis and 1 - iindislph !" I replied, "I
cannot arn,wer you, dir. I visited the
works as a neutral, and, as the correspond ,
ent of a ributrel rewspper
.in a foreign
untry, I have communicated all I think
proper to state on the subject " Now, at
that very moment my letter was on its
way to tee es, but, though I made use
of considerable detail in describing Gen
eral Pillow's works, I abstained from much
which was learnt in confidence, just as I
refrained in the very astne letter trove sta
ting many matters relating to Cairo. For
instance; Gen. Pillow told me in con&
deuce ho had ordered a chain cable from
New Orleans to stretch across the Missis
sippi, so as to bring up any steamers under
his batteries, and possibly to sick them;
but, as I did not see the cable, 1 did not
think it right to mention the circumstance,
any more than 1 did Mr. Benjamin's
views as to the law of blockade, Mr. Jef.
ferson Davis's private remarks, of the
little matters which are made known to
the man, and not to the newspaper cor
respondent. Now, it must be remora,
bared that all 1 wrote to England from
the South was new; it was intelligence ho
Northern papers could give; it was notoris
ous that 1 intended to send it to England.
At that time direct intelligence flooded
the iand with light from the North, and
any man could learn how many regitnenta
had arrived at Washington, now many
guns had been put in position or in the
field, as clearly as he knew what Mrs.
Lincoln said when abe was buying a set of
china in New York, or of what pattern
the said set was. Per all the American
world I preserved unbroken silence as to
what I saw in the South; till my letters
came back no one knew what I had seen.
If any man living can prove that before
I left New York I had expressed anything
but wonder at the apathy and calm which
existed there when my visit took place, or
that before 1 visited the South, or when 1
was there, I over said a word in approba
tion of slavery, or expressed any opinion
on either side in oppcsition to that which
appears rather as a record of im.ircesioic
than as an opinion from day to day so I
passed through the country, thou I sub
unit to ti.e iio eussary loss of the confidence
you have placed in me, and which you
have obtained for me in this country
This is no light matter. Tno character of
a newspaper correspondent may not be of
so much worth in America to himself or
to the journal he represents that so much
type should be used in its vindication, but
1 am sure you will feel it is due to the pa
per I represent, and to him who hero rep
resenta it, to say so much in reply to scan
dalous accusations and to imputations disc
graceful only to those who use them, which
have been freely used against me. If, as I
had occasion to say once before, General
136auregard, Genus' Lawton, Colonel
Hirdee, General Herbert, General Bragg,
Mr. Walker (the Secretary of War for the
Confederate States), General Pillow, on
the one side, or General Prentiss, General
M'Dowell, General Scott, or Mr. Secretary
Cameron on the other, can accuse me of
breach of faith, it will be time for me to
show 1 have never betrayed any confidence
or forfeited the claims to trustworthiness
the correspondents of the Times have gain
ed in the Crimea, India, and Italy. I had I
no theories to maintain, no prejudices to
justify. I neither believe that the United
States represented the perfection of gov
ernment or that it was the coup mangy('
of,mankind in self government. I did not
thine that slavery was the unforgivable
sin, or that it was the production of the
system under which the lathers of the prie
mieval world administered their patriarchal

Sought to describe them. The husk might

least 1 could say what, as it appeared to
me, were itts color, shape, substance and
nature. Because New York burst into a

V—This doctrine applies wherever
and so long as tne duty of allegiance to
an existing Government remains unim•
paired. Though a revolution is im
pending, the allegiance continues to be
due, so long, at least, as the courts of
justice of the Government are open to
maintain its peace, and afford the citi
zen that protection which is the foun
dation of his duty of allegiance.
Vl—The accused owed a two-fold
allegiance lo the United gtatee and the
State of His duty of allegi
ance to the United States was co exten
sive with the jurheliction of their or
ernmect, and was to this extent inde
pendent of and paramount to his duty of
allegiance to the State: It continued
to be thus paramount, so lung at least
as the courts of the I luited States could
exercise their jurisdiction within the
States. Though these courts have been
closed since the capture of the fort there
was, at its date, no such conflicting en
forced allegiance to the State as made
him a public enemy of the United
States, in contradistinction to a traitor.
VII. The provision of the Constitu*
tion that no person shall be convicted
of treason unless on the testimony of
two witnesses to the same overt not,
or on confession in open court, is in
applicable to preliminary hearings and
commitments by magistrates and pro
ceedings before grand juries; it is lim
ited to the trial of indictments. A
person, however, should not be indicted
or imprisoned under a charge of treason
when there is no rational probability
that the charge, if true, can be proved
by two witnesses on the future trial.
This opinion, remarks the Boston
Poet, outs up by the roots the heresy of
a State allegiance superior to the al
legiance due to the United States.
With the fall of this theory goes down
the claim that while the soldier or the
citizen obeys the government of his
State he is no traitor, but acting right
fully as under the command ofa master
he should obey, It also affords all rea
sonable protection to those unhappy
mon in seceded or quasi seceded Stares,
who, though loyal themselves, are sur
rounded by the enemies of tho Repub

Senator llauglab , Grave
Among the new objects of interest
shown to the stranger in Chicago is the
grave of Senator Douglas. On a broad
and slightly elevated plain near the
beautiful grounds which ho conseerated
to the Baptist Society for their colleges
in memory of the first Mrs. Douglas,
itself a monument to his generosity and
noble affection, and on the very spot
where he had anticipated building a
mansion to enjoy a long life, a mound
is now raised over the remains of the
great statesman. Only a few months
before his death a gentleman in the
neighborhood wishing to negotiate with
him for some of his real estate, at that
time quite extensive was told that in
that beautiful corner lot he expected
"to build a mansion alter his own heart"
where he and his family might live in
comfort and happiness. Near enough

There is no military movement here, but
there is a good deal of discontent among
the soldiery. The cause alleged , for the
mutiny of theSeventrninth (Scotch) New
I York Regiment was Their repiigitiume to
serve under Mr. Daniel Sickles. AB I
am told, the President accepted the services
of the Sickles' Brigade under the idea that
Mr. Sickles had been made a Brigadier
General of, the State militia by the gov-
ernment of the State of New York. The
Governor, however, refused to sign the
commission of that gentleman, who is,
therefore, without any authority to com
mand. The scruples of the Scotch were,
however, moral rather than military.—
General McClellan met the crisis with
great vigor, and has given a proof that he
is not to be trifled with, which must pro
duce a good effect on the army generally.
The men really have nothing to complain
of—for they are well fee, and now they are
well paid— czcept of their own acts in se
lecting improper officers. They expect
manna from heaven. Certainly they de
mand ice water, m.lk, and such luxuries,
under circumstances, quite exceptional,
which would make a British grenadier or
a French fantaasin be thankful for bread,
beef ~nd mutton.
fun movements of the rebels before
Washington, and all matters in connec
tion therewith, aro of the utmost im
portance at the present stage of military
affairs. Reliable information has been
received of a change in the command
of the rebel forces. General A. 8.
Johnston has been appointed to the
chief command of the rebels in the Mis
sissippi valley, to act against General
Fremont. The command of the troops
before Washington, therefore, devolves
upon General Jos. Johnston. General
Beauregard takes command of the main
column of this force, and all movements
are to be made after a consultation be
tween these two generals, both actually
if not nominally, acting in concert.--
The rebel reports show the force in Vir
ginia to be very large indeed, the men
in good spirits, anticipating a fight at

From the region of Springfield we
havo continued accounts of the ravages
of the Secessionists upon the property
of all persons supposed to sympathize
with the United States liovernment.—
Amoug the sufferers in this way is
Judge Sample Orr, who writes to a
friend from Rolla that the invaders have
taken everything they could use be
lunging to him and destroyed the re
arOtokr. They have broken up the
furniture in his house, tore up his beds
ruined his books, turned their stock
into his fields, confiscated his cattle and
done every possible thing to his dam
age that malignity could suggest.—
•ludge Orr intends joining the army,
and is in favor of the most energetic
prosecution of the war in Missouri.
Kentucky.
The action of the Legislature of Ken
tucky, in directing the Governor to
order the rebel troops to leave the State
will carry joy and encouragement to
every patriotic heart in the land. Their
position is that of exact loyalty, because
they refused to include the United
States forces under General Anderson
in the direction, and thus acknowledge
unconditionally,the constitutional right
of the President to command the army
and navy. The Governor vetoed the
resolutions but the Le gislature—both
branches—re-enacted them over his
head. The fact need no comment. Ken
tucky has been loyal in the past and,
will be loyal in the future. The State
which has furnished a Clay and a Crit
tenden will not be ruled by a Magoffin.
Lynch Law In Milwaukee.
There was a stabbing affray in M
waukee on Saturday. Two negroea
named Clark and Shelton stabbed two
Irishmen named Carney and Bradley,
and an Englishman named Ellis. The
affair was a drunken fight about a
couple of girls who were passing at the
time. Carney died, and the neeroes
were lodged in jail. A crowd rushed
to the jail, and took out the negroes by
violence. Shelton managed to make
his escape, but Clark was beaten tern.
bly, gagged, dragged about the streets,
and finally hung. ,
BAKERS' loaves have the faculty of
growing smaller when flour is higher
but they do not seem to grow larger
when flour is low. We are likely to
have a redundant supply of breadstuffs
this year and the next, not only because
the harvest will be unusually large, but
because also, there will be a diminished
consumption in this country, and a
probably reduced foreign demand.
Bread, therefore, should be cheaper, but
it will not be if the baker does not in
crease the size of his loaves or abate the
price.
THE rebels near Leesburg have torn
up over nine miles of the newly laid
track of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, removed the rails, and had
commenced to lay a military line from
Winchester to Strausburg, thus connect
ing with the Manassas Gap Railroad.
They had also taken forcible possession
of a large quanity of rolling stock be
longing to the same company.

TEE UNITED STATES —The London 4TZmes

equally savage against the cause of the

that twenty-two thousand five hundred are

TREASON trembles in Kentucky, and
in a few days will fall like a rotten tree
in a whirlwind. The backbone of the
rebellion is broken in that State, not
withstanding the effort of BreckinTidge
and. Magoffin to give it strength.—
Peace arguments, armed neutrality and
accession barbacues have had their day,
and are now engulphed beneath the
waves produced by the popular. Union
sentiment which has exhibited itself
throughout the Commonwealth. Tha
members of the Legislature have told
the rebels that they cannot be bullied
from their position, and the rats have
scampered from Frankfort to the south
ern borders.
stoppage of a Baltimore Paper--Effect
of the Arrests in Baltimore.
(Special Dispalett to the Evening Post.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 —The Baltimore
South, the rabid secessionist journal whose
editor was arrested yesterday, has stopped
publication.
The Baltimore Exchange, the leading
secessionist paper in that city, is more vie
lent than ever this morning Its principal
editor was also arrested yesterday.
Prominent citizens of Baltimore who
are now in this city declare that the effect
of the arrests of y esterday will be very.
salutary. The secession fever in Belli

Which the government felt compelled •to
adopt.
