a Rovolution OF OpInion.

One of the strongest evidences which
We can present To-day, OF the overwhelming
henr,iness with which the people of the
loyal States are rushing to the support of
the Government, is tho heels over head
snmmersauit, which that vcnaI sheet, the
New York Herald, Inns made. Hitherto,
it has been an active alder and abe,tor of
the Montgomery traitors, bnt it has been
appalled, aud ovcrtaken by the storm of
outraged national feeling in the North,
and it has had to back down clear to the
bottom. In its issue of Yesterday, it comes
out as follows:
Civil war having Mt length broken out,
the mercantile community. have begun to
examine its probable bea ings on trade and
the future of the country On nne point.
SO tar rs we have been able to ascertain.
perfect unaniuity exists among our mon.
eyed men; the government must be sus.
tanned. Every one deplorcs the terrible
calamity which hhs befAllen tho republic.
But there is no desire among the mcr-
chants or capitalists OF New York To shirk
the issue, or to ev"de the respohsibili-
ties Of the contest. Upon New York will
devOlve the chief Lurtheu of providing
ways and means for the war; our financial
community accept the duty. and will per-
form il. This view we find to he univer-
sal among our InOueycd men, including
many whose sympathies have heretofore
been with the South. II the government
prove true to the country, it need not feel
any uneasiness about money. In the
opinion our leading BANKERS. n hundred
millions, over and above the receipts of the
government from customs and land sales
IL necessary TO defray the expenses of the
war for year from this date, could NE
readily borrowed in Wall street, ut rate
of interest certainly not exceeding that
which France and England paid for the
money they borrowed for the Russian war
IT, for the purpose of bringing the war to
an end, and settling This controversy of
ours forever, II further sum he requisite, it
Will be forthcoming. MALI street, so far
as We can Judge, Is ready TO sustain the
government heartily and literally. An
idea of the intensity of the national feel.
ing which perVades tho street <mnv be
gathered from tho fact that Yesterday
morning = thoughtiess member of the
Stock Exchange, who offered some United
States skies on sellers option, was instant.
~ Kissed down by Ihe members Of the
board, and three resonant cheers were
called for and given for Major Anderson
From this specimen extract the people
of this community may judge what must
be the intensity of abe feeling that exists
in the North. 1t is a feeling that will adj
init OF 20 'reaeherpus foul play to the
Government, in its midst, There will be
but one sentiment and all petty attempts
TO stay the arm of the Government or em-
barrass lis free motion will ia few days
be as eHeetually submerged as piece OF
drilt wood under the torrent of Niagara.

TuE intelligence from Richmond irdi-
cafes that tho news of the attack on the
Government by the JET. Davisites, has not
precipitated things so rapidly US it wasau
,icipaled ii would. Tire Union men
'hoSe who are Internationally such--are
apparently more determined than ever to
stand by the Government It is apparent
that the Richmond secession tapers (und
there is no other kind there now ara not
at all hopeful of the passage of au ordiu-
"nce of secession. They are engaged now
in deprecatiug the Importance aud anthori-
~ of the Corvention--a body OF men
called together in their interest, but which
has proved to be tArtar-aud in educut-
ing the public mind about Richmond up
to the revolutionary point.
There is another indication that is rath-
or favorable. The Virginia Commissioners,
who have returned from their interview
with the President, are said to be exceed
ingly discreet and cautious in their ex.
Pressious of opinion. Perhaps they have
discovered that the Government is not the
fossil they supposed it to be-that it is
now not only alive, but strrnly in earnest,
aud they may have concluded that discre-
tion is the best part of vNlOr.

We invite the attention of the personal
and political friends hcreabonts Of this
gentleman, to the low fung piece of abuse
henped upon him in the article which we
publish on our first pnge from that rabid
secession sheet, the Richmond Examiner.
To be Union man in Richmond is to he
the target for all the filthy virulence OF
the nest of traitors who flourish there
The Hon John S. Carlils is their daily butt,
and so in turn have been Messrs. Wiley,
Dent, Brown, Burditt, Burley, aud NIL the
others who dare to speak or write "a word
for the Government The whip is crack eli
necessarily around their ears and The
rowels are applied Mt every opportunity,
in the hope of go0ding them into he pass
age of secession ordinance. Who, free
men of Western Virginia, would live I'M
der the dark despottsm of such heartless
blackguards and traitors.

PROBABLE ATTEMPT TO SEIZE WASHINGTON.
The Administration has satisfactory in
formation that the Confederate States have
proposed, Immediately after reducing Fort
oump'er. to march on Washington with
iheIr army of twenty thousand men. for
which they will have nothing else to do
Until recently, Jefferson Davis WAS dis.
posed 10 postpone that step until the Sc
session of Virginia aud Maryland was eff
tected, bnt as he desphirs of that now, he
believes that at the approach of his army
those States will Immediately unite their
forces with his. Seu who know those
States well say he is in error.
PREPARATIONS ron rrs DEFENCE.
There is one regiment of volunteers now
in baltimore ready to obey the call of the
Government Immediately. ana they will
he mustered into service. Virginia also
is ready to furnish her quota. The Gov
ernmcnt designs to bring force of vol
unteers to this city not only strong enough
to defend it against all corners, but to rem
der an attack on il improbable. Several
additions! companies of regulars are also
ordered here. 1t is not improbable that
this point will be made grand rendezvous
from which troops can readily be sent
wherever required.
STREET FIGHTS IN WASHINGTON.
To-day's excitement. has betrayed many
.secesslOnists who hold public offices. aud
who could not conceal their joy ut the re-.
dmction Of Fort Sumpter. Several fights
occurred, and decided knock DOWNS
Gen. Nye, among others, has knocked
down couple of secessionists within the
last day or two. The fact is, Northern
men have got tired of having treason
crHmmed extensively down their throNts,
and are learning TO resent it by force, the
only argument the chivalry seem to appre-
ciutC.
JOHN N. RorTs on SECESSION.
Hon. John NJ. Bolts, who is here, is VIC
lent ia his denuncintions of secession. He
Inns been all day the stontcst ~disbeliever
in the story of Major AnderSon's surren-
der. lie insists that the whole STORY is
manufactured for the purpose of precipi-
tAting Virginia into the secession move

UNAxlMlTY OF THE CABINET.
The Cabinet is n unit on these measures,
and no man among them was more decid-
cd and active in their support than Mr..
Seward, who urged Cancellation and for
beHinuce until the Disuniouists were put
clearly and thoroughly in the wrong.
