Union and under the Constitution than by
any act of war. And yet others are not
without blame /; for only last winter, they
could have adopted measures of peace which
were rendered by resolutions the power of
securing peace was then in their hands, but
their party pride prevented both from &C.
cepting the plan proposed. One insisted
upon this, and the other upon that, till be-.
tween the this and that of parties the pres
ent unhappy quarrel has been forced upon
Us.
Our secession friends had concluded that
there was no power in the government; and
that they had only to put forth their hand,
and, at a single shove, overturn the whole
structure. But the government thus as.
sailed, though powerless itself, turned to the
people, and behold it was found to be the
fastest government on earth. Even the
great Napoleon, in the fitness of his pow
er, could not have raised, from all the le-
giOns of France, such an army as Mr.. Lin
coin has rallied, in the brief space of but
ninety days, for the defence OF the govern
ment. That government has not been and
cannot be overturned.

Traitors i'm the Camp.

ALEXANDRIA, July 26.
1t is ascertained that the Southerners had
accurate information of the national move
ment, the withdrawal from Fairfax being part
OF their plan to ambuscade the nationalists.
We take the above dispatch from the
Nashville Union, secession Journal. The
day on which it bears date, July q, three
distinguished secessionists, from Mississippi
and Tennessee, and one OF them in command
OF regiment, paid US visit, and had q
free and full conversation with US, lasting
for more than one hour In the course of
that conversation, the gentleman of Mssis-
sippi stated to Us that they had accurate
Information of the plans and purposes of the
rational army, and that the Confederate
Government had acquired that knowledge
at cost OF $lOO,00O! This statement was
made IN confident tone, and by gentle
man whom we endorse as q reliable man. If
it be So and We give it credit, there must
be- treacbtry in the national army. Who
is the traitor?-Knoruille (7enn.) Wing,

Beauregard had not the force. Though
only part of the army was engaged in ac-
tual battle, all had been on active duty
the whole day. The combined forces Of
Beauregard and Johnston did not exceed
thirty five thousand men in the fight. The
rest were under the fire of the enemy's
guns, with an OCCASIONAL encounter. All, in
TACT, were on the battle field and in the
battle array, from the earliest hour in the
morning till the defeat in the evening.
Every man was needed. There were no
reserves there would not have been any

for General Beauregard to have pursued

The Pirates of the Petrol.

From the Philadelphia Press, August 9.
We visited the thirty odd pirates of the
Petrol, confined in Moyamensipg Prison
yesterday afternoon. They are confined in
the second story of the untried corridor; in
some cells two, and in some one and the
name, crime, and number of each is marked
on slate hanging on the wall, outside oil
each door.
Through an eye.ho.e we peeped at each
as he paced up and down the bare cells, or
lay at full length on the floor. Most Of
them were unOccupied, and not even the
luxury OF newspaper was allowed them,
so that they seemed very miserable and very
discOnsOlate men.
Harvey the lieutenant. is a tall, muscu-
lar man, gray haired, and wearing most
expressive countenance. He walked up and
down bare headed, having blue check
pants, with stockings. He wore no shoes,
and cast, every now and then, disdainful
glance at the common pirate, fast asleep on
the floor. This man Was formerly mid
shipman on the Constitution, where be found

sick with iuhamnatory rheumatic govt since

Gov. Wright on the Foreign View of
American Affairs.

Governor Joseph A. Wright, late United
States Minister at the Court of Prussia,
addressed the New York Chamber of Com
merce on Wednesday. The Post gives the
following sketch of his remarks:
Gov. Wright said that after an absence of
four years from the country be came home
with saddened heart. 1t is not time
now to fhd fault with those who are, or
have been in power, but we must ask our
selves, what is our present condition? L
owe. said he, no allegiance, to any partcu-
lar State, but all my obligations and yours
are to the national government. That is
paramount, and the State is Inferior.
The speaker said that we were mirepre-
scented abroad. The London Times and
other foreign papers sedulously misrepre>
sented US. The press abroad has been sub
sdized. Our institutions are attacked from
mercenary motives, and by those who are
interested in the downfall of this country.
The German heart moves slowly, but 1t
beats warmly for the welfare OF the country
While Mr.. Wright was in Berlin he re-
ceived more than 500 letters respecting the
situation in this country, and from those
who were anxious to come and fight the
battles of the Union. He was obliged to
publish notice that he had not opened a
recruiting Office.
In his last interview with the King of
Prussia, the King took him by the hand
and said: "God grant that your people
may be able to uphold the supremacy OF the
laws" The whole German people respect
the government of America.
1t we expect the aid and sympathy OF the
governments of Europe, we must help ours
selves. What is our duty? We must
require that the flag of our country shall be
restored to its position 10 every State, aud
the laws restored. We must sacrifice mil
lions before we submit to the SO called
Confederacy. We can never be two people
We must be one or nothing. We Can never
have peace in any other condition.
The speaker had never believed that there
was any serious difference in any part of
the country with regard to the principles OF
our government. Men may say that. they
have lost everything-property and family
but so long as the government is sustain
ed, they have lost nothing. All we have to
ds is to go on till we have established the
supremacy of our laws and the constitution
of our country.

Occasional writes to the Philadelphia
Press, under date of August 9, as follows {:
A theory has been started within the last
two days accredited to General Scott, that
the forces of the traitors in Virginia are
being organized into three or four divisions,
each of which is to be directed to partic.
ular point, so as to form combined and
simultaneous attack on the city of Wash
ington. Thus we are to be assailed from
the Maryland side and the Virginia side.
A feint will he made upon Arlington
Heights, so as to occupy our troops there
iRtrenched, while the enemy rushes in upon
US from the other side of Georgetown, and
from the borders of Maryland on the north.
The secresy of the Confederates renders it
difficult to anticipate their movements. 1t is
certain that some weight is attached to this
theory in high quarters. Fortunately, how.
ever the reticence of Gen. Mcclellan is quite
equal to that of his former friend, Beaure-
gard, and his vigilance could not be exceIed.
He is rapidly molding our volunteers into
well-trained and hardy soldiers. He is
wedding out incompetent officers, and by bis
own example filling the rank and file with
the n0blest emulation. 1t is astonishing
how soon we become accustomed to that
we cannot change to suit ourselves. Al
ready newspaper reporters boast, not what
they have sent, but what they have refused
to send to their employers, and the people,
hungry as they are for news, are ready to
lose their patience when they encounter a
paragraph giving information of the opera
tions OF our army.
l have repeatedly spoken in this corres-
pOndence of the number of spies that infest
this city in the interest OF the Southern
traitors. Their name is legion. Artful,
secret, and active, they deceive our best
friends by pretending to favor the Union,
aud assist our worst enemies by Selling upon
every opportunity to wound it. Ready to
tahe any favor or patronage that may be
offered to them by the Administration, they
do not hesitate to employ the very influence
thus acquired to break the Administration
down. The most malignant and mischeiv-
Gus of these spies are females. Some of
them are ladies of high position, too, who,
shielding themselves behind the so called
weakness of their sex, reject the DISCUSSES
assumed by their husbands, fathers and
brothers, and proclaim their sympathy with
treason and earnest hope that the cause
of our country may be defeated. In the
magnificent saloons and around the luxuri-
Gus tables of these people, sentiments are
uttered and plans perfected of the most
atrocous character. Midnight meetings,
after the fashion of the celebrated Know
nothing lodges, are regularly held. What
-, IL.
fact that nearly all those engaged in this
upon the money they have coined from the
jobs they have received from the Federal
Government. There has been too much le-
niency for this scandalous, fragrant and no.
torious ingrattude, and a growing feeling
will demand the punishment of all the men
engaged in this bad business, or else their
prompt expulsion, with their families, from
this community.
