A SHORT METHOD WITH A TROY
BfOR AfQLOGIST.

J.D. B. writes us rather impertinent letter,
controverting what We said yesterday of the
Troy Mob that routed Mr.. L. L. Loyeridge out
of that city, wherein he says that MIR. Loyerdge
previous to the capture OF Fort Sumter and at that Time was
aiding sbeng the Southern pirates and rebels by sending
them his paper writing them letters playing the generally,
aud doing all IN hs power TO crush the Union sentiment"
If this be so (Which we neither affirm nor
deny), then the Mob (aud mob is mob
whether composed of great or small), was more
cupable than we had supposed. For it is treason,
by the Constitution of the United States, TO ad.
here to tho enemies of the country, and give
them aid and comfort; and treason is one Of
tho highest crimes known to our laws. II Mr..

Tmn CowAap.cE OF TREASON.

The Convention of Virginia, elected TO Staud
by the Union, passed secretly on Ordinance Of
Secession. Instantly, while that Ordinance was
kept dark, her Authorities and Militia made
rush on the L. 5. NaYy.Yard near Norfolk and
the L. s. Armory at Harper's Ferry, and, By
the aid of traitors in the public service CON-
PEELED the overwhelmed loyalists TO scuttle. burn
and destroy many millions worth Of valuable
public property in order TO keep i from being
turned against the Union. They seized the Gus
tom. Houses at Alexandria, Richmond, Norfolk.
Petersburg. &C., stopped the collection Of Fed
eral revenue, took possession OF the middle sec
ton of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, scot
part of the stolen arms to the Seccssionlss, Of
Baltimore TO encourage them TO fight back mo
loyal forces advancing TO the relief of Washing
ton filled the Federal City with their spies end
threatened its capture by force whose advance
guard occupied Alexandria in plain sight Ofthe Cap.
ito The State formed close alliancewith the Jeh.
Davis rebels, called cut tue militia, and received
reGnfOrcements from the South, who made 10
secret of their object, which was the capture Oh
Washington. Such was Yirgina's first tortngn.
after the capture OF Sumter, and before sue mao
ayowed her Secession. But the tables are SUD
denly turned. The Annapolis route is opened
and loyal militia in thousands pour IN to 'ae
defense of the Capital, while tens Of thousands
impaticntly await the order to follow. Washing
ton is full protected, and Virginia is about to
be- called TO account for her treachery and spo-
liatiop. AT once, her troops fall back from
Alexandria, and her General commanding on tho
Potomac issues an order which says:
"TIe Capital has Herer Ieen threatened By U.s. /"
Il not now threatened. 1t beyond and outside the
limits Of the free and sovereign State of Virginia Inc
North has not openly and according to the usage
civilized nations declared war on US. We make NO
war on them; but should the soil Of Virgins or Tue
grave of Washington be polluted by the tread

A special election was held yesterday ia the
Eighteenth Ward, Brooklyn, to ill vacancy
in the Board Of Aldermen, caused by the eleVa-
ton Of Alderman Kalbneisch to the MayOralty.
The candidates were Thos. Mahony, Democrat,
and Samuel NJ. Meeker, Republican. As this cleo
ton decides the complexion of the new Board of
Aldermen, a good deal Of interest was felt in
the result 30 much in fact that the Democratic
Common Council in ordering the election caused
the polls to be opened at the extreme end of the
Ward, in the Democratic stronghold, instead of
at the Cross Roads, rs usual They succeeded
in electng their candidate by majority of q
in a poll Of 625 votes, which, considering that
Bushwick has usually been counted good for
200 Democratic majority, is not so bad. On the
Presidential vote last year the Fusionsts had
majority of g. and in the MayOralty vote of the
first Tuesday Of last April the Democratic can
didate received majority of l45. To curtail
this by lis in four weeks is doing pretty well, in

Some of the journals speak of Gov. Andrews
declining to employ Gen. Caleb Gushing in the
direction of the Massachusetts citizen sOdiery
who have volunteered for the Union War, as ii
it were impelled by political antagOhism, To re-
flute this unworthy suggestion, We need but to
point to the fact that Gen. Butler, now com
mandiug the Massachusetts, forces, is as thorough
q National Democrat as Gen. Gushing, yet
no mans qualifications and services have been
more cheerfulIy and heartily appreciated by Gov.
Andrew, by Massachusetts, and by the whole
country, than are those of Gen. Butler, whom
we hope to see called to higher trusts and to
win yet greater bonorS before the close OF the
campaign. 1t is quite probable that dislike to
overshadOw Gen. Butler has impelled the mag
ned slight to Gen. Gushing.

THE SITUATION OF ArFAIHs.

At the hour Of going 70 press we have no
precise information Of any military movement
near Washington. There is a report that Cen
eral Cooke, who commands the rebel Yirginians,
intends to take up a position on the Potomac,
opposite the Federal City He processes, how
ever, TO have no hostile intentions, and to be
acting only on the defensive to protect the soil
of Virginia from invasion. OF course, the Fed
eral Government will pay 10 regard to
his professions, and viii keep sharp
watch on his movements. His force
cannot be strong enough to menace Wash
ington, but even a small body of troops may do
much mischief by sudden dash on o weak point
Of our line Of defense. Meantime troops con.
tinue to pour into Washington. Among others the
18th Regiment from this State composed entirely
Of Germans, arrived there yesterday. The force
now assembled in the Federal City is, we believe,
the largest body Of American troops ever collect
ed at one point.
The detachment at tho Relay House, under
Gen, ButleS are busily engaged in fortfying
their position. 1t is now said that there will be
from that quarter, and from the Pennsylvania
side, concerted movement on Baltimore before
the week is out. The resources Of that city, in
provisions, clothing, and munitions, would be Of
immense value to the rebels and it cannot too
soon be occupied by force sufficient to hold it
against all enemies. The indications are that the
rebel commanders in Virginia contemplate
movement which shall bring them into the rear
of Washington, and enable them to cooperate
with their friends in Mary land
From Pensacola By way Of Montgomery We
get the information that Cen Bragg is pro
crossing rapidly in his Notifications, ard is
nearly ready to open the attack on Fort Pickcns.
His troops are said to be in good spirits aud
sangune of success. These reports, however,
are probably coOred to serve the purposes Of the
rebel leaders. Other accounts, from more trust
worthy sources, state that Bragg has only 1900
men very poorly equipped, and suffering from sick
ness. Whatever may be his force, Fort Pick.
ems, with its present garrison cannot be reduced
except by protractcd siege.
From Cairo we hear rumorS Of attacks 10 take
place shortly, but there is no evidence that the
rebels in that quarter have concentrated a force
adequate to the assault of so strong position. |
The garrison there are vigilantly watching the |
.igers, and have already captured several steam
,oats with cOntraband goods on board.
Meantime, the warlike spirit Of the people con-
inues TO manifest itself in the most patriotic and
impressive manner. The Northwest has already
for service 100000 volunteers, and
,aered them to the Government. From every
art of Nsw-EDgland and the Middle States COM
snies arc moving toward the appointed places

KILLED BY INDIANs.-Mr. James Shaw
of Bornet has just received the sad intoihg-
ence of the death of his son, VIM. d. SHAW,
who was killed by the Indians on the plains
of Kansas in January last. 1t appears that
Mr.. Shaw. went with party from Burlington,
Kansas. on buffalo hunt, not as pleasure
trip, but to secure food and clothing, and that
their camp was broken into by party of In
dams for the purpose of robbery. They
seized pony belonging to Shaw which he at
tempted to recover, when he was shot through
the body, disabling but not instantly killing
him. A man named Green going to his as
sistance was shot dead. The remainder of
the hunter party made their escape from the
camp, but returning the next day they found
the body of Shaw whom the Indians had
scalped, but the body of Green had been burn
ed, together with the camp wagons and 9TH
or combustibles. - aiedonidh.

INAUGURATION OF ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN.


On Monday Hon. Abraham Lincoln was in
augurated President Of the United States
The day was fine and the ceremonies of inau-
guration passed quietly and without any dem
onstration Of disturbance which had for long
time been feared. The arrangements Of the
Inauguration were under the charge of Sena-
tor Foot Of Vermont, who was chairman Of
the committee arrangements.
Upon the arrival Of the Presidential party
at the Capitol, a procession was formed from
the Senate Chamber in the following order;
Marshal of the District of Columbia, Judges
of Supreme Court and Sergeaut-at- Arms, Sen
ate Committee of Arrangements President OF
the United States and President elect, Vice
President, Secretary of the Senate, Senators,
diplomatic corps, heads of the departments,
Governors and others in the chamber,
When the word was given for members OF
the House to fall into the line Of procession,
avolent rush was made for the door, accom-
panied by loud outcries, violent pushing and
great disturbance,
After the procession had reached the plat
form, Senator Baker of Oregon introduced Mr.
Lincoln 20 the assembly. On Mr.. Lincoln
advancing to the stand, he was cheered, but
not very loudly, Unfolding his manuscript,
in a loud clear voice he read his message,
which we publish in full in another place. 1t
is straightforward and admirable in all its
parts, and as whole is an able paper, and
will be received with great satisfaction by the
whole country.
