XIErWe see many of . the papers, pub lished on the credit system are calling' in piteous tones upon th4r delinquents Jo "fork over." Now that the times are , somewhat close they secithey have been traveling on a sandy road, and that their hopes—grid what is much worse, their Doilars—are about being washed away. With large paper'bills, they have a vdry, good chanceof "smashing up ;" some have been compelled to stop. There is no reason or sense in giving a paper to any 43ne who is not willing t 6 pay fol it; and that right - ,promptly. Stop it, Brothers . !

ZThe Administration and-the Gen erals of the Army are at last fully aroused, and have had the idea knocked into, their heads in a very summary manner• that they are not fighting Mexicans, but that their opponents are Aniericans, equal in .ability and courage, an who are Urged .on by the twO.fold desire for success and to, secure their own personal safety. The Government is now busily engaged mustering in new, 'recruits, sendingiviell drilled regiments into the field, and giv ing the command of the most impUrtant points to men who, are something more than "paper" Generals. When the Army makes• another advance it will be! with quite a different' result. The battle at 'Bull's Ran was net as disastrous to the Federalforces as itlias to the Rebel ; it .appears that the latter suffered severely ;both in cavalry and infantry loss; one message to the south puts their less at :8000, while the best authorities state that the Federal loss is less than 500. I mgt.:There is nothing of very great in terest transpiring in the movements of the Army, preparation instead of action bas been the policy for the past few days. Th'e mails bring; us nothing but details of the last battle, with an occasional item of the inevements.of Gens.

Livermore, an editor of the Chicago Hew Coven'ant, in a late article-in that paper, gives ihe following incidents, illustrating the hergic and self sacrificing spirit of our American women, when called upon to give up their , house hold, gods for the welfare . of their country. No Man can read these lines with un moistened eyes : We were in Boston when the Presi dent's requisition for iseveniy-five thous and troops flashed over the wires, and when the First•Reginient left Massachu setts for the South The memory of part ings then witnessed, which almost wrung out the life from wifely and motherly hearts, will . never be forgotten. They were the very:flower of Al - assachusetts , youth - who were ordered. away, and they , . were leaving behind them wives and moth ers worthy their Puritan ancestry. " Well, good bye,". said a young soldier, as the last moment of departure came, bending over and-kissing his wife, a girl ish matron of nineteen, "Geed bye ! Mol ly," and he turned to go. But she held him nervously with both hands, and for a moment it scorned as if a spasni of pain forced out the words, " Good bye—God bless you! dear Henry—l, never expect to see you again"—and then, lifting her ashen face to his, while a new light came to her tearless eyes and a half smile flick. ered about her white lips—"but I haven't the heart to tell you not to go. Good bye! God bless you!" I: ; 1 " Did you see James and Charles in that Company ?" asked a mother pointing to troops marching to the Depot, to leave for the place of rendezvou i 6 "Are, you willing they shOuld go ?" We asked, hesi tatingly, for we , remetuhered the 'fearful sorrow which - overwhelmed her, a few •1 years before, when another on was drown. ' 1 ed in the Bay of Francisco.' " I mes, " was the reply, the anxious and ;sorrowful eyes looking, far beyend, while th thitrfingers worked nervously at her fu cape; "it's hard—yet we can do anYting for our country—anything; but feel sure .1 I have seen! my brave boya for the laSt time." Alt ! those of us whe have looked on the' faces of Our dear ohildren can com prehend the ageny;ef tbat aliment. The next morning, ve inquired kg a member of the household if Mrs. .--1-- kept at the same exalted Pitch of moral heroism? " We can not tell," was the reply, " she says nothing, bra Iceeps l ve4' busy. She I did not go to bed last night,' but paced i 1 the parlor 'till 2norning." (What must be the power of that sentiment which can triumph thus over a mother's love,! • Brave wives ! heroic Mothers ! noble sisters and daughters ! We thank Gjd' that the world is enriched by the exana- Jags of such sacrifice mil Self-renuncia tion. Underneath the frivolity and weak ness of woman, and the sordid selfishness of man, there has been lymg a vein of nobleness, and a wealth el patriotism, of which we did not dream. ,The darkness of civil 'war, in which we a're plunged, is brightened by, the. develdpment of the loftiest spirit seen since the Revelution, and the conviction is forceknpon us, that the `moral power enlistedl;on our side, united to bravery and skill, must render us invincible. 1 l a a 4 THE WA R R IN T HE' .

Gen., Cameron, who went out to Ma; nassas intending 1 o witness the battle, was So impressed with the doubtful char t acter of the attentipt to force the enemy's position, that he returned in haste to Washington to change, if possible, the 1 r' orders which had been issued 'for an at -titek;r but arrived too late.
