THE CAUSES OF OUR CALAX
-ITIES.
Alluding in last Friday's Post to the
mighty preparations of the rebels to carry
on a war of invasion against the North
and West, and to the expressed determi•
nation of those having the management of
the war, updn our side, to spread blast
and desolation throughout the South, we
ventured the following concluding para.
graph.
"The avenging angel has viited us for
some great transgression and we must ac
cept the scourge. If the rebellion be a
necessity then let us meet it st. 4 such, and
leave eousequeuees where we eau not pre
vent them from being impartially examin
ed and adjusted."
Our theological neighbor, tho Gazette.
quotes this paragraph and comments upon
it as follows:
"What is the "great transgression"
here spoken of? Is it for pride, vain•
glory, arrogance, self-sufficiency—or is it
Mr Mammon-worship, fraud, corruption,
profauity, drunkenness,Sabbath-breaking.
All these we are guilty of, as are most
natiot.s. But does any person believe
that it is for these things God is now visit
ing us?
—Does not every man instinctively turn
to something else for the "great transgres
sion." Is there a single man of any in
formation who does not believe that the sin
which has called down God's just judg
ments is that of slavery—a sin in which
the whole nation has measurably partaken,
and for which it is justly punished.
Without presuming to settle this ques
tion, or even to have a settled conviction
upon it, we can not see the logic of our
neigbor's hasty and positive corclusion.
Allowing slavery to be a great evil, and
why are those who never held a slave
punished as if they had been the cruelest
of slave drivers? In fact, the people of
this country are not responsible for the"
existence of slavery at all ; it was a calam
ity,. which the framers of our institutions'
had entailed upon them by English power'
and policy, and such being the case those
who planted the evil should have been
overtaken with what our neighbors call
"the judgement of God," and not per
sons like ourselves, who never owned nor
expect to own a slave. Besides, the men
like Washington, Jefferson, Adams and
Henry, and their compatriots, who framed
our institutions, did not look upon hold
ing slaves with the same enormity Which
is characteristic of some philanthropists
of the present day. In fact New Eng- -
land, itself, saw nothing to incur "the
judgment of God,'' for she trafficed in
slaves until the trade grew unprofitable;
then, indeed, with characteristic thrift and
commercial sagacity, she sold her human
chattels, and immediately afterwards com
menced her anti-slavery agitation, which,
in 1861, culminated it a civil war, at the
horrors of which humanity turns pale.
If there be a "special providence, even
in the fall of a sparrow,' - the Land of that
omnipotent power is certainly in the havoc
and desolation which are now visiting this
distracted country. The cause of this
dread visitation, we repeat, is beyond our
limited reach; but if we were called upon
for an opinion, we would as coon attribute
it to other provocations as to that of
holding slave 4. The slaveholder, indeed,
may be now undergoing his punishment;
here, where there are ao slaves, it must
be for something else. Suppose then we•
accept it as a chastisement for Afte.other
offenses, enumerated by the Gazette, as
well as for the single one of _slavery. Let
us add some other sins to the Gazette's list,
not uncommon among men who are con
stantly lamenting the existence of slavery;
we mean " oppression of the poor;" or
defrauding honest labor of its earnings;
or tailing to comfort the orphan and the
widow, made such by this rebellion. How
many henious crimes are we of the North
committing daily, each of whichis yenia
compared to those of the man who holds
and kindly treats his slaves? Look at
the scheming villiau in Congress, whose
only interest in this monstrous rebellion
is that which he has in contracts; he is
gorging off of the very blood of the father
less ; how much better is he, in the sight
of Heaven, than the slaveholder, who has
been taught to believe that the system of
slavery is right.
We are inclined to doubt the Gazette's
positive assertion that our present troubles
are a "judgment of God," merely be
cause of slavery; if we thought so we
would be entirely willing to leave the ques
tion to be disposed of by that all-seeing
power. But believing it to be the result
of a conspiracy to break up this Union;
we, in addition to the countenance of
Providence, invoke the aid of the heaviest
artillery, upon the side of which profane
soldiers like Napoleon and Wellington
declared Providence is always to be
found.
A Mere Rumor.
As there was a rumor circulating through
the city that the rebel Jackson had crossed
over into Maryland at "Point of Rocks,"
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, we
called upon the efficient and vigilant agent
of that road, J. B. Ford, Esq., and was
politely informed that such, at that time,
was not the case; and, as an assurance of
the truth of the matter, he informed us
that the trains would start for the city of
Baltimore this morning. as usual. It was
true that no trains left on Friday night,
but this was in pursuance of a cautions
regime
. practised upon .this road, not to
run trams at night when there was the
least apprehension of danger.—Saturdery's
Wheeling Item.
Organising tbr Drill.
In puursuance of the proclamation of
the Governor, meetings are being held
toroughout the comity for the organization
of companies for drill and instrurtion. A
number of companies are now in process
of formation in several of the wards, bor
oughs and townships, and by the close of
the-week we shill - doubtless - fume as "or
ganization quite as formidable in point of
numbers as the old Emus Guard.

He was sent to Europe to report upon
the cavalry tactics of the French; from
thence he went to Africa, where he joined
tie First Chasseurs d'Afrique, and he at

by his daring exploits during the campaign
under Marshal Vallee, when, the French

plains of Metiejha.

He was brevetted Major, and General

After the Mexican war Major Kearney

The Baltimore American, of Friday

Winchester and the surrounding country
has been again evacuated by our troops,
under orders of Gen. 111.1leck. Whether
Martinsburg will be evacuated is not
known, but it is hoped that the Baltimore

the hands of the enemy. That there will
also be raids in Maryland seems now to be
most probable, but it is not likely that any
considerable body of the enemy will ,e.ic

All the forces at Winchester reached
Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry this
morning, where Gen. Dixon 11. Miles is
in command with a large and well discip

The Rebels on the Upper Poto.
On Tuesday evening, about dark, rebel
regiments of cavalry appeared on the Va

nearly opposite Edward's Ferry, having
with them a small mounted howitzer, from
which they fired several shots across the
river. without effecting any damage. He
also states that Union people are leaving
Leesburg and vicinity in consternation,
some flying toward Washington, and some
escaping into Maryland. He conversed,
yesterday, with a Union man who left
Leesburg on Thursday, crossing the river
in the night, and who informed him that
the rebelit were marching on this place,
some of their cavalry having entered the
town before he left.

taste of the horrors of war. Upon inquiry
as to whether the Confederate - force was
sufficient for that purpose, the officer boast.
ingly replied that they had force enough
to march wherever they pleased. From
the same source I learn that the Maryland
rebels have for a long time kept up con
stant communication with their friends in
Virginia through this channel, and that
rebel officers are frequently seen in that
vicinity visiting their friends on furloughs
granted by rebel generals.
The Safest Route.
The route for communication via Lees
burgh and Poolesville is now considered
safest by the rebels, on account of the
national gunboats stationed in the lower
Potomac. Our informant also states, on
his own persbnal knowledge, that upwards
of five hundred recruits for the rebel army
have passed into Virginia by this route
within the last few weeks. He believes
this to be the route travelled by the rebel
mail carriers, the rebels about Poolesville
being regularly supplied with the latest
Richmond and Lynchburg papers.

Retaliation.
From the Charleston Courier, August 22.
It was the desire of the South to carry
on this contest Recording to the laws and
usages established and practiced by civil
;zed nations. It was manifest at the be
ginning of the strife that the contest would
be desperate and bloody, and for the hon•
or of its name, as well as for the credit of
the people with whom we had so long been
in alliance, it was hoped that all unneces
sary shedding of blood and infliction of
evil would be refrained from, and that the
asperities of war would be softened by the
interchange of courtesies and kindness.
The desire and purpose of the Confedf r
acy touched no answering chord in the'
bosom of the mean foe. That brilliant
example of magnanimous forbearance we.
thrown away upon them. Tb-'y aloo.ed
and denounced us iu the coarsest ternoi,
rausecked the language for harsh, vile
and filthy epithets, which they heaped up
on us with a fierce rancor whim/ 'showed
plainly that the feeling was nut produced
by the offence of seceasion, but that it had
been nourished and cherished for a getter
atiot,, though diuguistel arid consented at
the dictate of settlinteresta.
In order to justify, or at least to palliate
the enormous crimes against
and decency they contemplat e d
ring, they refused to accord us the right,
of belligerents, and fabricated the me.;
shocking tales of the cruelties we pr i se
tised. They asserted that the movement
wits planned and executed by disappoint
ed demagogues, broken-down politicians,
aspirants after power, and a few restless
%writs who long ago plotted the ile,true
tion of the Union, and that beyond the
sphere of these evil-minded men, the huge
nor of secession, the wickeslness of be
lieving in the right of selfgovernment was
not approved, but that the intelligence,
and worth, and wealth of the South wen:
profoundly opposed to the in i•le One ,
movement. Theyfulminated manner of
siatiders and falsehoods, with energy, en•
&flooring to prepare the way for the et
CeSscEl and outrages of their
linsts, and to prejudice the niiads of for
eigners against us.
They attempted at the same time, to
frighten us by terrible threats and infinite
boasts. and when they found that all these
meats had miserably failed and the courst
of the war had contrieted'thern of wentot
calumny and 'deliberate falsehood, ant
that, moreover, we were by no mewls
foe they could afford to contemn, they re

cruelities.
We would be untrue to the cause in
which we are engaged did we continua to
practice forebearance and mercy toward
such& people. They aim not to accom
plish the restoration of the Union, but to
gratify their avarice by getting possession
of our fair heritage, their lust by violating
our w3men, their hatred and malice by
wholesale and indiserituate slaughter.
They have no honor, no instinct, of
humanity, no quality of manhood, to which
we can appeal. Pity shown them would
be considered fear; forebearance they
would interpret to mean cowardice.—
Mercy to such a foe would be the greatest
cruelty to those who are exposed to their
hatred and fury.
