The Presidents proclamation is the principal tasus

have been individual positions opinions questions
Of public poiy, let remember that country now

destruction Let ignore the past rising superior to
partisan considerations and rally the restoration ofthe
Constitution and the Union they existed in the days
and 10 the spirit of fathers Whether this be
accomplished by fratncidal warfare by concession,
Cancellation and sacrifice, may differ but all will
admit that here at least harmony and peace should pre-
vail. Thus may We, under tue guidance of Divine
Providence, set an example Of peace and good will
throughout our extended country In this spirit and
with this view. call upon the people York. ir.

The N. Y. Times was, the other day, very
complaceutly Boosting of the superiority of ts
Charleston correspondence over ours, for the
reason that its correspondent was known there
as such, while ours kept himself behind the vail
of secresy. We how learn, however, that this
superior correspondent has been arrested, i'm
prisoned and sent away on suspicion Of being .
Federal spy.
We are happy to announce that the two
correspondents of THE TRIBUNE at Charleston
remain undisturbed in the performance Of their
duties. Letters from there, written just before
the opening of the hOstilities, reached us safely
yesterday, and will be found on another page.

NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY APRIL l6. 1861.

loss of Sumter falls on the mass OF our people
like clap of thunder from cioudless SKY.
Even the dispatches of our Secessionist CORE
spondent at Montgomery have been read from
day to day with mingled incredulity and derision.
Many wondered why We should print them;
though, if they had believed war was impending.
they would have seen very good reason for sol
doing. Nothing short of III actual cannonade
could wake them up.
The North Las been astounded but the ex-
treme South has been deplorably deceived. 1t
has been persistenty assured by its oracles that
the first shock Of War would carry the Border
States out Of the Union, and that the Demo
cratic party, even Of the Free States, would
actively sympathize if not openly side with the
Rebellion. 1t will be disappointed in both cases.
We doubt whether single Border State will be
carried over, though Arkansas may be; while the
Northern Democracy must and will be governed
by the instinct of selfpreservatOn. With
thousand faults and vices, it is and ever has
been a Unisn party, aud cannot be recIeant now
For Slavery aud Union it would fight heartily;
for Slavery and DisuniOn never. The lombard
rnent of Sumter has reduced the Northern sym
pathizers with Secession to a paltry handful OF
born SouthroDs and abject dependents upon
Southern trade an d patronage Even these vii
drop Of one by one or sink into apathy aud
silence.
1t 10 remarkable that Andrew JacksOn-him-
self intensely Southern, but at the same time
intensely Unon-was the first to clearly foresee
and predict the trouble that is now upon u.s. He
always believed Notification mere cloak for
treason. and insisted that il should have been
sternly repressed. "The Tariff" he wrote to q
Georgia friend in 1888 "was but pretext.
"Ncxt time, it will be Slavery, or the Negro
question" He knew his mon aud their real
impulses. Twenty-eight years have but sutiiced
to reveal clearly what he perceived instnctiVely
while it was in the germ. And now its power
to rule or ruin the country is to be tested and
decided for ever.

The metropolitan Cab Company, we under
stand, is not to be incorpOrated-the Assembly
Committee having refused to report the bill. So
our citizens and the strangers who visit us must
continue to do as hitherto-hire q public hack
whenever they cannot possibly help it, and do
without ct all other times. There is not on earth
another city whose owners of wheeled vehicles
for public use act such suicidal part as do
those Of this emporium. In London, you can
ride any distance not exceeding mile for six
pence Ga York shilling), and of course hundred
call cab where one takes hack in our city;
aud the London owners doubtless make more
money than ours do. Yet the former had 10 be
compelled by act of Parliament to do what has
greatly conduced to their own profit. Here We
only ask the chartering of a company which shall
be under contract with the public to supply COM
Portable vehicles to oil who want them at twenty
cents per mile, and the Legislature refuses us
this. Well we must wait; but by-and-bye we
shall have Cheap Cabs here, and then every
hack-owner viii be amazed at his own suicidal
stupidity in not providing them long before.

The Courier and Enquirer of yesterday has an
elaborate and, in many respects, striking
attack upon Major Anderson, on account of cir
cumstances connected with the defense and sur
render of Fort Sumter. 1t must be admitted
that there are facts in that affair which ought
to be explained. and which, We trust, Major
Anderson will be able entirely to clear up. But
the whole matter will necessarily come before a
court martial, where the truth viii be made
clear. We urge, therefore, that the public judy
ment should be held in suspense until it can
pronounce intelligently and justly. Then if Major
Anderson shall be proved the patriotic hero
which the popular imagination has 30 gladly
painted him, we can all unhesitatngly and unre.
servedly pay him the need Of our applause. Or
if he fails to make good his case. we can pro-
nounce sentence without danger of hastily and
from prejudice doing wrong to a.brave and hon
Orable man.

We learn by telegraph that Mr.. Toombs, at
Montgomery, has received dispatch from Senator
breckenridge and Gov. Magofiin, saying that
Kentucky is greatly excited, and sympathizes
entirely with South Carolina and that 1000
men Of the Border States are under arms to
move at moments notice upon the order OF the
War Department at Montgomery. This is only
what was TO have been expected from the re-
certain that while Vice-President be was con-
cerned in the disuDion conspiracy, and has been
probably from the beginning in the secret plots
of the traitors.

The Globe Bank in Providence yesterday
offered Gov. Sprague loan of $4,000 to arm
troops for the war, and the Bank of Commerce
offered $4,000 for the same purpose. Large
offers have also been made from private persons.
The Governors offer of regiment for the de-
tense of Washington has been promptly accepted
by the War Department. The Rebel leaders at
Montgomery confidently expected Rhode Island
TO join their Confederation, but from present ap-
pearances they seem likely to be grievously dis
appointed.

against the Union. was very strongly manifested
in various parts of the country yesterday. AT
Trenton and Philadelphia the Disunion Journals
were compelled to display the American flag to
save Themselves from destruction. In this city,
Nr. James Gordon Bennett of The Herald was
nursued and booted in the street, and his news
paper Office besst by crowd to appease whom
tbs fac of that Union which The Herald has
done 80 much to destroy was displayed from the
windows. Happily no damage was done to per-
con or property. We most earnestly hope
TINT none will be done. The cause of the Union
i, the cause of Law and Order. The laws are
strong enough to suppress treason without re-
course to popular violence, and they viii be
rigdly enforced against offenders whenever it is
necessary. The true way to deal with these dis
loyal sheets is to let them alone. If all good
citizens would cease to buy them and cease to
advertise in them they would be suppressed much
more eGectualy than by mob violence, which
only tends to give them notoriety and to excite
sympathy for them by natural reaction in favor
of tho freedom of the press.
