The Dead Shots.
The Boston Post says:

uc DOSlOu L OSt Sd U.s.
We are able to state on the best au-
thority that in thirty days there will be
at Washington a regiment cf ''sharp-
ahooters,' armed with the Spring field
muskets of 1852, thoroughly equipped
and provided, and ready for active SER
vice. We published day or two since
Gov. Andrews proclamation calling
upon Massachusetts, for its quota of this
body Of men, together with statement
of the test of skill to insure mem bership.
This will be the famous regiment of
sharp shooters originating with Mr.. Ber-
dan, of n. York. who is, himself unsur-
passed as rife-shot. For the practical
carrying out of this excellent idea the
country is indebted to Mr.. w S. Row =
land, of New York, who, within the last
three weeks, has visited fourteen differ
ent States, from Maine to Minnesota in
elusive, held personal interviews with
fourteen Governors, explained the plan
of the regiment, and obtained their in
dividual cooperation; and the result
will be over thousand dead shots how
ering, not in mass, but detached in
separate companies, as occasion may re-
quire, with and about our army, defend
ing it and retaliating upon the rebel
marksmen whose unerring aim rendered
Jefferson Davis such signal service at
Bulls Run. It is not eight weeks since
General Scott expressed his hearty ap-
provel of such regiment, and now it is
as good as ready for him. Here is an
instance of straight, rapid work, without
the slightest imitation Of red tape OF
hinderance, and it shows what may be
done when no political element inter
venes to delay. The expense of each
company will be about $4,000, which
each State will bear. In Kentucky
good, old Kentucky--one patriotic citi-
zen has promised to bear the expense OF
a company from his own purse, the State
not choosing to act in the matter. Mr..
Rowland assures US that in almost every
instance he has received prompt encour,
agement and assent, and the fatigue OF
his protracted journeying was materi
ally lightened by the patriotic ardor with
which he found his propositions re.
ceived.

H%We observe from our Eastern
Exchanges that not less than sixty ri
fed cannon are now being turned out
per week for the Government. This is
not jot too soon. The deadly use
made by the rebels of this arm Of the
service, since they have been enabled to
ELL Virginia with batteries of the best
Tifed cannon, shows how much we
have lacked. fafantry are good against
infantry, but to meet and silence an en-
emy's batteries, we should be able to
batter him ourselves.
The fact that General McDowells IS
grand army went into action with forty
eight pieces of artillery, all told, was
not creditable, especially when we had
two or thsee hundred rifed guns lying
idle at the Washington Navy Yard.

Civil War VS.. Rebellion

Civil war is not the same as rebellion.
Grave issues: especially in our foreign
relations, may depend upon preserving
this distinction, and keeping constantly
in view the principles upon which it is
founded.
Civil war is an armed struggle be-
tween parties for the possession of the
Government. Rebellion is the defiance
of the Government. In civil war both
parties proclaim their allegiance to and
seek to conserve the integrity Of the ma
ton. Rebellion declares its disloyalty
and strives to subvert the commonwealth.
Civil war is struggle with the body
polite for the possession of its ruling
power. Rebellion is the organization
Of force alien to the. healthful system,
to make war upon its vitals
1t is not, then, difficult to character
ize the present conflict. Yet SO loosely
is our language used that VIC sometimes
hear the contest spoken Of as a civil war,
rebellion, or revolution, as if these were
convertible terms.
The importance of the distinction
may be much greater as far as our rela-
ton with the foreign powers are con-
cerned. AS nationality We are bound
by treaties. The Government must
meet its obligations under the law of
nations with reference to it's entire ter
ritory. In the case of civil war, where
two parties assert themselves, alike to
be the national power, and thus to be
equally bound as the contracting par
ties to the nations treaties, foreign pow
ers may perhaps well claim that there
shall be no interruption to the right of
their commerce, secured by such treaties.
Should one of the warning parties at
tempt to close the seaports occupied by
the other, foreign nations might ask
why, when all were acknowledged mem
bers Of the same Government, differ
ent policy should be pursued toward
foreign powers in different parts of the
nation.
! But with rebellion the case is widely
different. The new Government erected
by the rebellion is no party to the ma
TONS treaties. These have not, as such,
any binding force upon what assumes to
be new nationality. The only way in
which the nation that entered into the
treaties can see that they are faithfully
executed in eitheir their letter or spirit
is by crushing the rebellion and estab-
fishing undisputed jurisdiction over all
its seaports. To do this military ne
cesslty may demand the closing Of those
ports for a time, and the law Of nations
ijustifes the act. 1t is only by such a
course that the nation can put itself in a
position to discharge its international
duties and obligations-Neo York Post.

Riot at Grand Junction--Thirteen en- Killed
and Several Fatally injured
From gentleman who arrived from
Grand Junction yesterday morning, we
learn the following in regard to the
riot:
Two or three companies of Louisiana
volunteers, under command Of Col.
Soulakowski, arrived at Grand Junction
about twelve o'clock on Friday. By
some accident they got hold of barrel
of whisky, and number Of them soon
became intoxicated and commenced
fighting among themselves. 1t was
found impossible to keep them quiet,
and Col. SoulakoMski, in attempting to
restore order, was compelled to fire upon
them. The rioters broke open the
Percy Hotel, and completely demolished
everything that stood in their way
We are informed that several Of the
wounded will probably die Of their in
juries. Nine were killed on the spot,
and four have since died.
