THE PROGRAMME OF THE CAMPAIGN DIS
oussED There is much speculation in mill
tary circles as to the wisdom of prosecuting
the war by an advance into Virginia, where
the greater part of the armed forces of the
rebels are concentrated. 1t is argued that
IN attack upon Charleston and New Orleans
would be the wisest course. 1t would i'm
mediately disorganize the whole rebel army,
make them abandon Virginia, Tennessee and
Missouri in hot haste to defend their own
houses, and leave the way open for the un
molested advance of our army here and At
Cairo to the borders of the original seeding
states, and transfer the war from the border
into the heart of the country, where the re-
bellion was first begun. The protest is GER
tainly worthy Of serious consideration. If
effectually carried out, it may serve to crush
out the rebellion and bring the South to its
senses more speedily than regular advances
upon the intrenched camps and fortified cit
les of the enemy in the border States

ew-The latest news from Fort Pickens is
exceedingly provoking Recently the best
regiments of Bragg's army have been ordered
to Virginia, together with some of the most
thoroughly trained artillery companies in the
Southern service. This when the orders of
the commandant at Fort Pickens are not to
fire upon the rebels unless hostilities are COM
menced. 1t would be better to blow up Fort
Pickens than continue the present policy with
it. There. is no question but the Fort is thor
oughly prepared for hard knocks, and the idea
of permitting the rebels to maintain camp of
instruction under it's guns is worthy the

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK-The Rev.
T. L. Culver, in letter from Newark, Ohio,
to the New York Evangelist, speaking of the
present national crisis, says:
This war must inevitably have one of two
results. 1t will either cut the jugular of sla-
very, extinguish secession, consolidate the
nation, and prepare it for grander mission of
Christian civilization and enlightenment in the
earth; or else it will end in humiliating de-
feat, compromise with chronic inquiry and
total debauching of the popular conscience be-
fore God. Which of these two results shall
come depends on the great deciding class, the
thinking, praying and working class who
make up the Church of Christ. Gods peo-
pie can save this Republic, as Cromwell's Pu-
ritans saved the liberties of England-by the
sword of steel in the one hand, and the sword
of the spirit in the other. During this brief
tour. have talked freely with all classes that
I encounter, and find that there is an insid-
ious poison at work, the poison of preference
for the temporary peace instead of dear
bought triumph of permanent principle. But
few are vet tainted with the subtle delusion
Six months of sharp military reverses would
make the poison spread like cholera. Six
months of Cremwelian war will cut the dan

tlesnake venom from bitten limb.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON. Get. Il.

y
70 His ErcslIa,cy, the Goeey'og q
the State Of MeaO York:
SIR-The present instruction
had notevenrevealed itself in arms
when disloyal citizens fastened TO
foreign countries 10 awake their
intervention for the overthrow OF
the Government and the destrnc-
ton of the Federal Union. These
agents are known to have made
their appeals TO some Of the more
important States without success.
1t is not likely, however, that they
will remain content with some re-
fusals. Indeed it is understood that
they are industriously endeavoring
to accomplish their disloyal pur-
poses by degrees and indirection.
Taking advantage Of the embar-
rassments Of agriculture and man
ufacture and commerce in foreign
countries, resulting from the insur-
rection they have inaugurated at
home, they seek to involve our
common country in controversies
with States, with which every pub
lie interest and every interest of
mankind require that it shall re-
main in relations Ct peace, amity,
and friendship. ! am able TO state,
for your satisfaction, that the pros
prospect for any such disturbance
IL now less serious than it has been
at any previous period during the
course of the instruction. It's,
nevertheless, necessary now as it has
hitherto been, to take every pre-
caution that is possible to avoid
the evils of foreign war, to be su-
perinduced upon these Of civil com,
motion, which we are endeavorine
80 cure. .
One of the most Obvious of such
precautions is that our ports anC
harbors on the seas and lakes should
be put in u condition Of complete
defense, for any nation may be sale
to voluntarily incur danger in tenn
pestous seasons when it fails Il
show that it has sheltered itself OF
every side from which the storm
migt possibly come.
The measures which the Exec
utive can adopt in this emergency
are such only as Congress ha:
sanctioned, and for which it ha:
provided.
The President is putting forth
the most diligenteforts to execute
these measures, and we have the
great satisfaction of seeing that
these efforts, seconded by the favor:
aid and support, of a loyal, patriotic
and self sacrificing people, are rap
idly bringing the military and ma
val forces of the United States into
the highest state Of efficiency. But
Congress was chiefly absorbed du-
ring its recent extra session with
these measures, and did not pro-
vide as amply asicould be wished
for tie Notifications of the
sea and Jake coast. In previous
wars, the loyal States hava applied
themselves by Independents ana
separate activity to the support
and aid Of the Federal Government
in its arduous responsibilities
The same disposition has been
manifested in degree eminently
honorable by all the loyal States du-
ring the present insurrection.
In view of this fact, and relying
non the increase and continuance
