Those who are strong and reliant can afford
to wait, and the waiting Of the Government to-
day, at Washington, seems to us an Indication
of power, and gives US fuller assurance of sue.

rons marching hither and thither under the tel.

Much may be won by persistently waiting at the
present time, for every day must weaken the
rebels. They are like the army worm, and have
to move. They cannot wait Their own i'm
pulses are against waiting their necessities are
against it. They have sprung into existence on
the wave of revolution and must move ON with
it. To go back WITHOUT blow would be fatal
10 their cause. They would lose in the estima-
ton of their own people and of the world
Therefore they must fight We hear every day
of their restlessness, and the attack will not be
long delayed, we believe. But there behind
their Notifications our army-now well clothed,
we'll fed and we'll disciplined-are waiting pa
tiently and coolly, for the moment to strike
Every day sees them better prepared, under the
eyes Of their general officers. There Is no faint
Of Decentralization or alsahsctiop among them.
They arc satisfied with their leaders and their
cause, apd have unhoupded confidence In the
result When the time comes they will show to
the world that waiting has been a world of pow
er to them, giving them courage and muscle for

treasure, az II 1t were matter of no account
One man was signing receipt for his yellow

was left alone with the gold, with time to con

A SUGGESTION 70 Taf GovERSMENr -Fhe re-.
cent reply Of Col. Aulligan at Lexington, No.,
to Gen. Prices summons to surrender, appears to
have been unauthorized by any act Of Congress.
1t is to be hoped that it may not add to the diff
ficultes of the situation" by breeding dissen-
sion in Congress, and in the public mind-altho'
it is not impossible that the Commander in Chief
may direct some modification of the reply, as
having been extra constitutional, and as tending
to sbridge if not totally defeat the operation Of
the writ of ha6eas corpus. The government, it
is understood, has the question under discussion.

FROM LEXINGTON. We are.tO accept as true
the reports from Lexington, General Price has
finally succeeded in gaining temporary posses
sion of Lexington. The present apparent adj
vantage he has only won by being able to cut
Of from Colonel Mulligan and his command
their indispensable supply Of water. Some four
thousand killed and wounded is the loss paid by
the enemy for the entertainments which he can
scarcely retain half as many days as he has been
occupied in taking them.
There was much murmuring among our peo.
pie yesterday at the result, but along with the
complaints so naturally INDUCED in from sym
patty with the ,nisfortunes Of the gallant Multi
gan and his heroic little garrison, was also OBJ
served satisfaction in the knowledge that a
most formidable movement was on foot against
the rebel forces, and that soon they must fall
into the trap so skillfplly laid for them. The
extraordinary activity for the past three or four
days on the river and the railroads, the presence
of General Lane on the west side of Lexington,
with an accumulated force Of more than 1000
men, the presence of General Stureis on the
north with about the same number, the boat
loads of troops steaming up the Missouri river,
and the Geayy columns moving rapidly to the
west from Jefferson City, all look 10 the grand
movement for the complete entrapping 81 the
Rebel army under Gen. Price, to the accomplish
ment of which, we are disposed to believe, the
capture of Col. Mulligan, was but one of the
predetermined necessities. These considerations
we know will have but little force with those
whose petulant habit is to insist that everything
must at all times 60 right, or else that every
thing ia wrong; but we ask reasonable Union
friends simply to exercise faith and ratiencs.-
