at the battle of Rich Mountain The Re

They Don't want War.

The Nevada Transcript in an unmistaka>
bly, satirieal vein, takes issue with us on the
general principle of coercion by the General
Government to maintain its authority
All we havetO say, in reply, is, that, if any.
body can show us, in the whole history of
the world, where any Government has been
maintained without a recurrence to force In
cases of resistance to law, we will give up
the question and acquiesce in this milk and
water doctrine of peaceable secession. Why,
the first rudiment of law will teach any man
that the very basis Of Government is the
power to resort to force He who violates
the established law must be apprehended as
criminal. BY force is he apprehended, and
by force is he imprisoned or executed. The
simplest writ in the hands Of constable pre-.
supposes the whole power Of the State to
execute 1t. No Government can exist, with,
out the power of Jorci5ly executing its laws.
question ofresistance to the authority of
Government is one of force against force.
If the force of the Government prevail, then
rebellion is put down; if not, then rebellion
is triumphant. 1t has ever been a question of
physical force No Government was ever
overturned in the world without resort to
force, and, in our opinion the act Of attempt
ing to overturn,ours will not be an exception.
We are not particularly belligerent, we
are not any more anxious to fight than the
generality of men, and we care nothing for
the glory, such as it is. of being combative
character, Notwithstanding the Transcript
intimates as muOh) But We consider the
power of coercion essential to the maintain
anee OF civilized society and government, and
therefore we desire to see it exercised. We
are TOR force in carrying outthe authority of
Government, or in resisting it. If we de-
sired secession, we would expect to fight for
it. Since we are not for secession. we are in
favor of force to prevent it.
To sit back, with arms folded, and depre-
cate bloodshed, when great crisis is upon
the country, and men must act, is simply non
sense. We are for war, if the Government
cannot be maintained without, and that is

CRrTTENDEN ON DlsUNIoN.-The honored
statesman, John j. Crttenden, is terribly Sc
we're on the disunionists. In his speech at
Independence, KY, he said:
Don't break my country into fragments,
and talk of the little Considerations that are
to be so happy. You will pull down the
great Confederacy-you will pull down the
American Constitution upon the head of the
American people-and you offer yourself to
me as the men to build up half dozen little
shanties here, and call them Constitutions.
Applause. l say to them, "Begonel you
poor trlcksters you miserable conceited set !

Government made by the hands of reYolu-
tionary patriots-made by the hands of NIadi.
son, and Monroe, and Hamilton, and all the
great names that figure in our early and vir-
tuous days. You talk about pulling it down
and giving us a better Government! 1Ap-

The Alledged Coalition.

# is dstiuoly proven that there was no
coalition, whatever, between the regular
Democrats in the Assembly and the Republi
cans, in the election of Speaker and other
officers. The Republicans voted for Burnell,
for the same reason that certain of the Breek.
inridgers voted for Anderson, Mike Gray,
and. other Douglas nominees for officers of
the House The object of both was to facili-
tate an organization, in order that the Legis-
laturs might proceed to business
AS for the split in the Douglas party, it
could hardly be called such, when those
Douglas men who voted for Wood for Speak
er also voted for every one of the Douglas
caucus nominees for the other Offices Mr..
Wood, himself, took pains to says that he
had not disconnected himself from the regu-
lar Democratic party, but that he still stood
by the Douglas and johnson organization
Doubtless, the nine Douglas men who voted
for Wood, will have the good sense to go into
caucus with their party, for the nomination
of candidate for Senator provided they ar,
invited.
To recur to the alleged coalition, It woulC
be just as good sense to say that the Breckin
ridge men and Douglas men and Republicans
had a coalition, simply because members ot
all three parties voted for certain of the Off
GERS, as they did If there bad been any 90
alition between the Democracy and the Re-
publoans, surely the Republicans would have
got some Of the offices But they received
nothing, and they themselves expressly dis
claim having been swayed by any prospect
of reward. Be assured if they could saddl,
any thing of the kind on the Douglas party
they would do it mighty quick. 1t has beer
their game always to create every possibl,
impression that the Douglas men were read,
10 affiliate with them, and anxious in fact a
some fitting opportunity, to jump headfore
most into their ranks.

AT recent meeting of the Virginia Confer

G. C.s, and had been seen walking around
Lynchburgh with his beard fully grown and

HE WEAPONS OF DEATH-Amidst the gen
eral depression of business at the North, in
consequence of the countrys troubles, says
the Hartford Times there is one branch of
manufacturing industry which is stimulated,
and depressed, by the crisis We refer to
the manufacture of fire arms The demand
South for rifles and pistols is exceedingly
brisk; and Colts pistol Factory which had
not been fully employed during the two
months preceding the election, is now driven
to its fullest capacity. We learn that three
hundred pistols day are turned out--fnish-
ed and complete. Sharpe's Rifle Factory is
also full of business, and hard at work to
meet large orders. Cotton, wooden and knit
ting factories are curtailing business; all of
our workshops feel the bad effects of the
anti-slavery war, but the irearm factories
are making hay in this the cloudiest of times.
