TmE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The principal news this morning relates to the
successful operations upon the North Carolina
coast, of the expedition which set out from For
tress Monroe last Monday. Our columns con-
tam full narratives from various source and
also tho official reports Of the affair. I'll. re-
suits can be stated in a very few words, and it
is not often in warfare that so important an e1-
plot bas been so quickly and quietly accomplished
by it we have come into possession Of two forts,
twenty five cannon 1000 stand of arms and
more than 200 prisoners, among whom are acre-
raj officers Of note, and, as it is reported, one
Of JEFF. Davis's Cabinet officers though this
point is not fully confirmed. 1t appears from the
papers captured at the forts that the United
States Government Rad in its service, as Consul
at Rio JaneirO, a traitor Of the blacklist
dye. His name is Robert G.. Scott, jr., q
Georgian by birth, and appointed from Virginia.
He had furnished 80 the Rebels q complete list
OF vessels loading in the port Of Rio Jnnero, aud
destined for Northern ports This information
was turned by the Rebel pirates to good ac-
count, for the record Of their operations shows
that they have captured several Of the vessels
thus made known TO them. The appearance and
condition of the prisoners taken shows IL the
Rebels are in very bad way. The men were
poorly clothed poorly armed, and incon pately
equipped in every particular. Worse than his,
they were nearly famished, and gricvOusly tor
mented by thirst. That this should be the case
in forts which were unmOlested, directly in a
friendly country and open to supplies at any
hour, II On incontrovertble evidence that the
Rebel cause is anything but prosperous.
: There was great excitement in Wheeling, Va,
last night. dispatch was received from Fair
mount, Marion County, to the effect shat the
Sccessionists in the back country were rising in
great numbers and marching upon the town to
burn ii and tear up the railroad track. Wheel
ing was at once in q state of wild activity;
drums beat, the Home Guard and volunteer
citizens hastily prepared to set out to the aid of
their menaccd brethren, and in a short time
full train set of. 1t was feared that the rising
would be extensive, and it was thought that it
had some connection with the plans of Gen. Lee.
Affairs are quiet with Gen. Banks's column,
the rumOrs of action and defeat, which have
prevailed in and about Washington, being ground
less.
From Missouri we have many reports of out
RACES BY the Secessionists, all Of which show
clearly the real state of feeling there, and the
necessity existing for the NEST vigorous and
severe measures by Gen. Fremont

oysr bis shoulder as well as that cheerful lopN
ahead for the promised march through Northern
cities.
But without locking beyond the actual facts Of
the case we may rejoice over this act of Butler
and sicingham as brilliant exploit. The cap
ture of over seven hundred prisoners, among
them several officers of distinction, including the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Of JEFF. Davis's
Cabinet, Of meny stands Of arms, of a numhe- OF
cannon and large quantity Of munitions and
equipsges; the cOE.sl, besides, almost comretcfy,
of the important navigation Of the Albenarle
and Pamlico Sounds, make an event such as the
people have waited fer impafently and long.
Few will fail to recall the time when, four
months and half ago, we had news of another
expedition that had gone into Southern waters,
and if the feeling that is now aroused is not so
manifest and has less Of enthusiasm, it is because
we can afford to be less demOlstrntiye in triumph
than in defeat.

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.

We must have more troops. The Government
has called for them. The Country needs them.
They are required at many points, as precaU-
ton against attacks; they are wanted at others
TO enable our columns to advance upon the
rebels. Fremont needs heavy re-enforcementS to
save Missouri. Additional leyies are demanded
for Cairo and its vicinity. Western Virginia is
in danger Of slipping into tie hands of the Con-
federates, for lack of more regiments. Eastern

dent, all the National property within their
geographical boundaries had been wrested from
its rightful owners and converted to the uses OF
rebellion, Forts Sumter Pickens, ond those on
the islands of the Gulf of Mexico excepted.
But who ever heard, during this long process OF
highhanded despOtism, one word of remonstrance
from Tucker g. Co. against the " coercion of the
Unionl
So to-day great majority Of the people OF
Eastern Tennessee are trampled under the feet
of the Rebels, as those of Northwestern Viz
ginia would be but for Federal resistance. All
through the Rebel States, and even in the south
western corner of loyal Kentucky, men have
been and are hunted from their homes, stripped
of their property, tortured, murdered for no
other ohense than fidelity to tho Union.
Thousands of these are now really fugitiyes in
loyal States; hundreds Of thousands have only
saved their lives by betrayiDg their country and
promising fidelity TO the rebellion. But this
wholesale coercion" to ALLURE loyalty and en-
brace treason does not elicit the censures Of the
Tucker and Byrdsall organization" 1t is only
coercion to obey the laws and their lawful,
chosen ministers that is rcprobated BY these pc.

that Court in holding that all acts Of Congress
excluding Slavery from the Territories are ill.,

There have been attempts to protect + nN'r

Let us consider this programme;
These gentlemen say they speak for " an organ
ization of influential citizens who /" OPP
posed TO the coercion Of States" That is to
say, they are in favor of the EXTREMIST Nullifca-
ton; FOR we are confident that even Mr.. Calhoun
never broadly asserted that State is in no case
10 be compelled to fulfill it's duties to the Union.
Suppose, for example, Massachusetts,, believing
the War on Mexico unjust and every way un.
yarrantable had refused to be taxed for or in
any manner TO contribute to the prosecution of
that contest, does any one believe that Messrs.
Gideon j. Tucker, i. w. Birdsal, &C., would
thereupon have proclaimed themselves "opPofed
TO the coercion of State" and in favor of
letting each pay or refuse at pleasure Who
believes that they would have put forth any such
doctrine had the recusant in any case been an
anti-slayery State Had Vermont or Wisconsin
taken ground peremptOrily against slave-huntiDg
on her soil, who inlagines that these gentlemen
would have declared themselves "oppOsed to the
- coercion Of States "
Their doctrine is thoroughly snarchical. 1t
would reduce the Union at once TO impotence
and very soon to chaos. Let it b. settled that
no State can be coerced and one will nulliiy a
tariff, another war-tax, third win forbid the
passage of the mails across its territory, and 20
on, until the Union. shall be an utter wreck
stupendous failure. The old Confederation was
found miserably weak and incapable; but it war
far stronger than this doctrine would render the
Union. No one will believe that this doctrine OF
no coercion would have been set forth by these
" influential citizens except under the pressure
Of al urgent necessity. In order to excuse trea'
son, they Lad to condemn coercion.
And they are only troubled By the coercion
" Of States" The coercion Of the Federal au
thority, even while it was welded by their friend
Buchanan, in the matter Of stealing the pablo
money in It's mints and sub-treasuries, the cap
ture Of its soldiers, forts, arsenals, armorieS
arms, munitions, &C., does not provoke thei
reproba.oD, though it was carried on for month
without resistadce or official rebuhe' soat
