nation grapples for life or death with its
implacable enemy, and will not be vanquish-

Let the call for men be raised to half a
million at once; let subscriptions be invited
to Patriotic Loen of One hundred Millions
of dollars. subject to the approval of the
next Congress, the money to be paid in
meantime so fast as wanted; let the swift
est ocean steamer in our waters be dispatch
ed well armed to Europe with an agent
empowered to contract for One hundred
Thousand of the very best firearms and
One Thousand choice field-guns, to be de-
livered within thirty days, regardless of ex-
pense; and let the Governors of all the 10y
al States be at once telegraphed to push
forward regiments to Washington as fast as
they can be equipped, and by the best
routes that remain open to us. The Repub-
lie is resolved not to die, it proffers men
and money without stint, and will force its
existence with old fint-lock muskets if it
can get no better. Let our rulers now
speak the word that will assure it that it is
to live.

what they Intend TO Do.

A gentlemen just arrived in New Yorh
from the South says:
II was openly and repeatedly stated by
leaders of military companies throughout
Virginia, that it had been planned to ad.
vance on Washington with $4,000 men,
and If they could not get the men, to
make "6old dash," any how by the aid
of Ben Mccullough. The scheme was ev-
IDENTITY q cherished one in Virginia. They
say, along the railroad, that # thew can pet
possession of Washington it is all thew
want. They sOH burn dowa the Capital
and retreat. This was a generally under
stood plan, which our informant heard re-
peatedly expressed. The feeling was ono
of the most excited passion. Officers ol
military companies argued in earnest thai
under no circumstance should any quarter
be given. One of them moved that every
Northern mans heart should be cut out
and said with a blood thirsty expression
that he was willing to do it. To get pos
session of Washington would be Growing
glory, even if they would be compelled tc
evacuste and destroy it.

If this be true. and if it be true also. that
Mr.. LINCOLN himself is disposed to treat with
the traitors. except to accept their uncondition-

the North will not, in this crisis tolerate such
a agovernment any longer than il will take to
establish the truth of these reports, and 10 over
throw it and erect a new one in its stead The
time for compromises has past. The North is
going to conquer peace, and old women in
breeches and old fogies must stand out of the
way. nntil after this is done. If they won't
get out Voluntarily they must be put out.

ifcations the President shall have power to
garrison such of the troops of the military es-
Establishments of the United States as he NAV
deem necessary and to provide the same with
cann0ns, &c.
This chain of Notifications stretching from
Maine to Georgia was made for the lefence of
the Union against her enemies both from home
and abroad and for our National welfare. The
garrisoning of which. and government of which,
was chiefly cnnfided TO the President of the
United States. How often this power has been
exercised or the duty of executing this National
legislation has been exercised by the preceding
eighteen administrations we will not stop here
to inquire. But surely it must be admitted
that they might all have discharged the duties
conferred by that Legislation, without doing any
violence TO the government, or affording a sut-
fcient cause for disruptipg the Union. and is it
possible that what would have been harmless
in eighteen successive Presidents, shall be de-
clared criminal in the nineteenth, and a cause
adequate TO the dissolving of the government.
One year after the enactment of the act re-
ferred to, Congress passed an act,( And the con-

clothed with power, whenever the laws of the
United States shall be opposed or the execution
thereof obstructed in any State by combina-

binary course of Judicial proceeding or by the
powers vested in the marshals to call forth the
Militia ofsuch State or any other State or States
