throughout the United States II this be Souhd
doctrine. then the Federal Constitution Is hum
bug, for tine old Articles Of Confederation we're
better aid stronger.
But the whole fallacy is summed up in the de-
caraton--" The Soaih is orr Courtry." This ls
precisely antagonist to the fundamental assump-
tion OF Wasbugton's Farewell Address. How
those WHO regard a section as their c'untry can
e,er have even wished to be considered Unionists,
We cannot imagine.
Arkansas is going out Of the Union. ard these
lnionists are going with her, because they con-
slider the South their country, and hold it base
and cowardIy to consider whether she is right or
wrong. IL such are the views Of Arkansas, we
marsel-not that she is about to scccde from the
Union, but that she ever sought admission into 1t.
She certainly never belonged in it.

SOUR GRAPES.

"Where YOU gawen, Sawney!" asked a Scotch
laird of countryman whom he caught crawling
through the fence of his fruit garden. "Bock
"agen," (sniting the action to the word) was
Savny's prudent response.
Our remoter Southern exchanges are full Of
Civilizations over the certain capture of Washing.
ton, which they all suppose to be just at hand.
Alex. II. Stephens came up through North Caro-
lima and Virginia. shouting "On to Washing.
ton :" at every station, and was chcered to the
echo by thousands. TO take Washington by .
rush, sezing the President, the Cabinet and
Gen. Scott, is the daily topic aud nightly dream
of all the more distant rebels. But up this way
they seem to have thought better of it since the
New-York and Massachusetts, regiments opened
the road by Annapolis to the Capital. Gov.
Letcher now thinks it not best to seize Wash
ington-at present. and SO says The Charleston
Mercury. 1T is a decidedly good idea of theirs,
and they are likely to cherish it for some time.

AS get, very little has been done toward orgao
izinc Cavalry regiments for the armies OF tho
Union, the original call not having required any.
But cavalry, aside from their use in battle, arc
the eyes of an army, and to an advance In
hostile country are indispensable. We hear with
pleasure, therefore, that James Ii. Van Allen,
esd, in Dutchess County, aided by Col. 5. ID.
Nix in Schoharc, is now raising regiment OF
Mounted Rangers, to be picked men throughout
and skilled not merely in hcrsemanship but IN
the care of horses as well. A hap-hazard levy
of volunteer cavalry is of no account, bat such

UNION MEN IN VIRGINIA.

irelawney, who had served aboard a pirate m
tne indian seaa, was once asked what they did
With their prisoners. He replied that they never

ways sent some Slalays to take possession Of
her, who soon sent back word that there scas

trouble with or danger from prisoners.
Virginia is profting by the Malay example.
Her people are soon to vote for or against &C.
ceasou; SO. in the slavehtdiOg part of the State,
every man who WIZ BOT come out for Secession
is being hunted away. The dragcnnades of Louis
XIV. are being largely initiated, and Of course
the sudden conversions are numerous. Those
who will not declare for Secession are driven Of

Loud complaints are made against some Of the
articles of outfit furnished by the Quartermasters
Department to our volunteer soldery. In Brook
lyn, tie blankets served TO the men at frst wero
80 rotten that they almost fen to pieces. Col.
Ilawkns's Zouayes, now at Castle Garden, arc
scarcely better provided tor in this respect.
Their blankets specimen Of which was shown
us yesterday, are coarse, dirt-cOlorcd things,
made OF shoddy (woolen rags, wooen waste, and
cotton, utterly worthless for warmth, or prosec-
ton from heavy dews or rain. Some of the uni
forms which have been got up equally valueess.
Poor. sleczy stuff, woven open enough for selves,
and then filed with shearmen's dust, is thrcwD
together in the rudest and most fimsy manner.
such goods are not tit for soldiers who are just
about entering upon D severe campaign. They
should receive stout. substantial, well-made gar
ments, and nothing less shosld be accepted from
the contractors
The officer who would knowingly allow such
trash to pass as has been given to some Of the
men deserves the fate which Wellington meted
out to some OF his rascally purveyors when in
the Peninsula. There is o belief that good
deal of jobbng is going on in the matter OF sup
plies. and that certain individuals have very
potent voice in the awarding of contracts. and
otherwise managing the affairs of the State, who
are not remarkably noted for disnterestedness.
This business should cease at once. While the
patriotic citizens Of New-York are perfectly VIII
ling to give liberay Of their substance in this
struggle, they will not permit the soldiers to be
cheated. nor will they quietly submit themselves
tO spoliatiOn.

BLACKRALL THE TRAITORS.

An election is to be held tomorrow for the
Office of Recording Secretary to the American
Institute, made vacant by the resignation of Mr..
ThOs. McElrath. The Office il worth 81 500 .

unimpeachable patriotism, as well as of varied

Northern industry and i~aerests, certainly 20 i'm

We are informed that no has been all Winter
loud in his expression Of a ielOw-fesling for
Treason, and tina. even the late outbreak OF loyal
sentiment of devotion to tho Union has failed TO
convince either his Judgment or appeal to his

be applied to any man who is candidate ier

weighs 600 pounds, and is about the size of a

states that though there is much warlihe enthu-

A curious illustration Of the flcilit, with
which the most absurd rumors VIII gain currency
in Wall street is afforded BY the belief which
prevailed Yesterday in certain circles in that part
of Ike city according TO which peace is soon to
bo made between the Rebels and the United
States. Now, the only terms Of PEI ace, which would
not provoke revolution in all the loyal States,
would be the unconditional submission of the
traitors, the abandonment Of the Montgomery
Government, the surrender of the stolen Federal
property, and the rctsrn Of all the Seeding
States to obedience to the laws. We have no
edoubt this will be done at last; but not until the
main question has been debated in one or two
considerable battles. Until they are beaten in
war the Scccders will never abandon their great
conspiracy and the sooner and the more deci-
dedly they are beaten, the better for all con-
cerncd. On the other hand, the People of the
North and West are resolved that the business
shall now be disposed Of forever; that Rebellion
shall be crushed and the Integrity of the Re
public maintained. AS matters now stand it
would be as dangerous to attempt to put of on
