4 Temple for Trophies.

MEssRs. EDITORS Amid the all absorbing
excitements OF the day-aulid the thousand.
and.onc claims for attention, which spring from
these excitemQnts, it seems to lis that there is
one duty we should not neglect. We owe it
sent, and we have the example OF all heroic
nations in sll times, 10" its fullest observance.
1t will cost us little, in time, trouble or OK.
pensc. 1t must repay us well in memories TOO
precious to be ever held lightly. What We
mean is simply this: a Temple for Trophies.
Is it not essy-it certainly is emincntly pro.
per-to found a repository wherein could be
stored and classcd all The cmblems OF triumph,
wrenched by the chiralric South from their
relentless foe in the present war? 1t would
form the nucleus and prove to be no incon-
siderable one-of a grand military museum
n rcpertorium Of martial prizes 20 attest pre-
sent proves, and transmit to future genera
tions instructive and interesting tokens of our
revolutionary struggle, which they can con-
template with pride, and Increase with a Slo.
rious gratitude, should occasion ever array
them against a~ssaiierS Of Their rights and
liberties. How many arc the insignia Of
victory, which have been scattered, far and vide
through our States, which would have delight.
ed the many, and not the few, had there been
some central receptacle wherein to deposit
them. The establishment of a temple for
trophies, ION tho plan of the Tower of London
collection, but, of course, not attempting its
magnitude would not sensibly diminish the
symbols of triumphant combat, which our
soldiers, naturally, glory in distributing among
their personal friends. They have proved, and
they will continue to prove sufficiently abuu-
dant for both purposcs-private and public
We put the suggestion to those in authority
whom it concerns, confident that it merits their
prompt consideration, and is not in the least
calculated to disturb their concern in more
Immediately important matters. The moment
to put q plan of this sort in operation is now
&c pede Nsrculsm.

Confession of Guilt.

The following shows that Lincoln and his
Cabinet ara aware of the guilt Of trampling
the laws and Constitution under foot and Of
the course they have pursued towards otnel
States besides Missouri. according to thclI
own theory, Missouri is no more in the Union
than IS Virginia or North Carolina. Hence
they deny US even tho rights OF bdligerents.
Yet they confscase and pillage our property,
imprison our people without Law, and not only
refuse 20 return DIR negroes, but violently
seize and carry them away.
Some time since, Marshal Mcdowell Omitted
States Marshal for Kansas addressed a letter
TO the United States Attorney General, stating
that he did nor deer" il his duty tc return fu.
SUBJECT The following reply re find in the
"Leaverwo-th Times"
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, July %, 1861.
J. L. Mcdowell. U. S. Marshal, Kansas
Sir-Your letter Of the l1th Of July, received
10th, (uuder the frank CT Senator Lane, Of
Kansas asks advice upon the question wheth-
er OF 60 you Should give your official services
in the execution Of the fugitive slave laws.
1t IS the Presidents constitutional duty to
''take care TINT the laws be faithfully eIecu-
ted" That means all the laws, He has no
right to discriminate--no right to execute the
laws he likes, and une1ecutc tinsc he dislikes,
and, Of course, you and l, bis Subordinates,
can hare no wider discretion Of latitude than
be has. Missouri is aState in the Union. The
insurrectionary disorders in Missouri are but
individual crimes, and do not change the legal
status of the State, nor change IT'S rights and
obligations as a member Of the Union.
A refusal by a ministerial officer 10 execute
any law. which properly belongs to his Office,
is official misdemcanor, OF which l do not
doubt the President would take notice. Very
respectfully, EDWARD BATES

What a Few Days may Bring Forth.

The public are awaiting with an appropriate
solicitude and sensibility, the tidings OF tnose
grave conflicts which seem impending between
our armies, both on the line OF the fo'o'n",'
where Boauregard and Mcclellan command
and in the mountains Of Virginia between Luz
and Roscncranz. Elsewhere, indeed, armies
are watching Or manouvering against eacn
other. Blu. at the points named they arc look
ing each other in the very face, and the prompt
trial of strength can only be evsded BY a dam
aging retreat. We publish all We can gather
which We deem worthy Of notice, hat can tend
to crafty the public anxiety to hear from these
theatres of interest.
Doubtless, also, new features Will soon appear
in the serious drama Of our public affairs. Ken
lucky must now soon take her place and perform
her part. Long kept back and kept down,
through unwise but trusted councillors, sne
and they have at last been taught their mistake
By the iusufsrsble courses on which Lincoln
has been driven BY G blind madness or an over
ruling fatality. Kentucky, which has been
patient aul hopeful and supplicatory, until
serviliry ard folly could scarcely have asked
for more, is, to all appearance, reused at last.
There is no fury like lhst Of wrath long de-
ferred; and Kentucky will feel that she has
her honor to redeem as veil as her wrongs to
arenge.
Missouri, too, is playing a great ard grow
lug part 10 this struggle. Fremont hears all
around him the sound Of conflict, ever widen
irg ard ever approaching Already he has
been driven to try tue Utmost terrors OF the
mos, barbarous edictS. They scr'e but
to DISCUS, and ALLEVIATE his own friends
Designed to iutinida;e, they bat show his
o5n fears. and serve TO nerve the resolution
spd stimulate the zeal Of those whose advan'
cling Zines are closing him roucd. Even now
he hears substantial thunderS far louder than
bis paper tulminations.
There is ceasca, therefore, for the seellngo OF e1'
pectation which now possesses the public nina.
1t is no time for long discouTses or grave dis
cussions. Men arc in suspense, as those VINO
hesr the. rush Ct a coming tempest, and await
its bursting and its course. We look forward
with a trustlul hope that new causes OF graft
tuds will be speedily added to those when
have already lifted the hearts Of the South
ern people in thanksgiving to the God Of Bat
tle, and of Victory.

Proposed Mes,ius oflhe CitizensofESamp-

kohs
The burning Of the town Of Hampton is we'll
known to the citizens, not only of Virginia, but
to those Of the Confederate States. The loss
was considerable--many parsons would have
no shelter in the event .: our having peace al
an earlg day and that Ill may be satisfied as
soon as possible, and full justice done to the
Government as we'll as to individuals, propose,
that a meeting be held in Richmond or Will
liamsburg, the first week in October, and that
eli property owners will attend said meeting,
or be represented By some friend.
The object CT the meeting will be TO aSccr.
tain the loss Of cach iadirilaal, By making g
fair and impartial ralgation, 10 Be submitted
10 q committee Of disiatsrested gentlemen, and
if approved by them, afterwards submitted 10
the proper authorities Of the Confederate States
Government. Such a course roc would avoid
much litigation, and prevent bad feelings
hereafter. Moreover, there is no better time
&c attend 10 such matters than Immediately at.
ter the occurrence. Will our friend, Oats"
OF the "Dispatch," who | knoI feels t. lively
interest in every thing concering The people oil
Hampton. do something towards getting to-
rethcr our scattered friends? ] am sure Gen.
oral M,agruder Gni other commanders, will
grant a short leave OF absence TO all the SOL
diers from that town, for the purpose OF at
tending the proposed meeting.
In order 70 secure + full attendance, letters
should be addressed to persons in different
parts of this State and North Carolina, and
also advertisements put in seIera! Of the pa
pcrs OF Richmond and Petersburg.
Whatever is to be done lie: it be done az
soon as possible. TIDE WATER.
