Events Of ts,e Week.

The news Of the past week is so volum-
nous and at the same time so exciting and
important, that no apology for rclingu;shing
all our space to the dispatches is necessary
1t viii be seen that the Rebels have at last
commenced the war, by an attack on Fort
Sumter on FTidy--that that fortress has
been taken--that Major Anderson and his
m,n are now their way to New York in a
Government vessel; that the President has
issued Proc'an alton, converting Congress
on the 4th If July, ard calling for $4,000
volunteers, which call appears to be respond
cl tn everywhere in the most patriotic man
ner, without distinction of party.
Never since the Revelation have so many
and startling occurrences been crowded into
one week, and il is not surprising that the
most intense excitement pervades the whole
country. The North, cool, imprisoned, and
deliberate, is Sow t., move, but it will now
be seen when she does move as sheis now
moving, that it will as the ocean in its sub
lime upl,eavings, with a. current Of such ire
sistahla power, that secession and treason
will be swept from the land
Deeply Impressed with the momentous
consequences of the events of the future, we
yet feel and we trust our readers will all feel
that the responsibilities which now devolve
upon all patriotic citizens must be met with
courage and consistency, such as will befit the
glorious memories of the past, and the hopes.
interests and responsibilities Of the future.
There are but two sides now. One is the
side of the Union as our Fathers gave it to
us, the other is the side of the enemies Of
that Union, who are waging war for its dis
memberment. As one man, shoulder to
shoulder, let us rally around the glorious old
flag inscribed with its thirty four stars. Re
newedly let us pledge to the cause Of our en-
tire country 'our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honor"

Affairs utts,a Cauitol.

WASHINGTON, April l4--Eforls are still
making to concentrate formidable military
force in and around Washington, to be pre-.
pared for all emergencies. Information con.
tinues to be received from private sources o!
secret plots in various localities Of Maryland
District of Columbia, and Virginia, having
in view the seizure ofthe public property
and even the persons Of the highest Office Of
the Government.
Though these accounts are not generally
credited, they arc believed in official quarters
and hence the precautionary movements
At all events they are considered necessary,
no one knowing what events may take place
during the prevalent excitement Roads and
avenues leading to Washington are closely
watched.

Editors for Post MASTER.

In number of towns in this State, it is

ally the case, perhaps, as some persons
believe. Among the knights of the quill
said to ne thus favored are those of Keokuk
Mt Pleasant, Washington, Muscatips, Des
MONIES, Indianola, Council Bluffs, Ottumwa
Oskaloosa, etc. OF the principal towns where
editors have not been appointed we might
mention Burlington, Davenport, Dubuque,
Iowa City, Fairfield and others. The policy
of appointing editors has occasioned some
comment, and it may no. be improper to give
its origin, so far as this State is concerned
Last winter, before the question of select
ing Postnasters had been much agitated, a
number of prominent Republicans in differ.
ent parts of the State signed paper (Which
did not originate with the editorial fraternity
requesting our delegation in Congress, where
they could do so consistently, to favor the
representatives Of the press, particularly i'm
the matter Of distributing Post o flee patron
age. This recommendation. as we under
stand, met the cordial appreciation of the del
egation, and the result is as above indicated.
So, Il whatever extent the policy has pre-
vailed, it is manifest that neither the Admin
istration at Washington, our Congressional
delegation, or the editors themselves, are re-
sponsble. for its origin. lfany are disposed
to find fault with the policy, they capnet
justly blame the Administration for what it
had no hand in doing. nor the Congressional
delegataes FOR complying with the written G.
quest Of leading republicans in all parts Of
the State, nor thes' latter persons for COM
mending what their rnprejudicad experience
and judgment dictated as wisest and best
And certainly editors cannot be Justly blamed
for taking comfortable places when they can
get them!
1t seems to us that, under the circum-
stances, this explanation is due all parties
concerned Being somewhat interested in
the matter, we do not deem, it expedient to
offer arguments in defense, of the policy. If
the editors appointed do not prove compe-
tent. faithful and accommodating officers, or
if their journals shall be less independent or
fearless in upholding the Right and condemn
ing the Wrong, then aoe shall favor their un-
conditional removal Oskaloosa Herald.
