But little has transpired during the week to
give encouragement or cause alarm in matters
relating to National affairs. Fort Sumter is
not yet vacated. No collision has taken place,
and we hear Of no prospect Of such an event
The Government gives no information as to
what it is doing or intends to do Rumors and
dispatches state that civil war Is to be avoided,
il possible, and peaceful solution Of the pres
ent difficulties sought for This is what every
body wishes but how or when we are to have
an insight into the matter, we cannot tell. 1t
docs not look like enforcing the laws, to be
compelled to give up Fort Sumter, and neglect
to reinforce Fort pickens. 1t does not look
like maintaining our honor in so doing, but il
is no less difficult to tell what to do than il
would be to do it in the present powerless con
diton Of the Government. 1t has neither mon
ey nor mon, nor the means of getting either
Besides, a war with the South would have the
effect to break up and destroy even what there
is now left ef the Nation civil war coulC
but result in ruin, anarchy and devastation.
We learn that the Cabinet have the subec
continually under discussion and we still hay,
Confidence that the hands to whom we have en-.
trusted the subject will duly weigh the circum
stances, and act as will be for the best. The,
live nearer the scene Of action they have the
dlfhcultics before and around them, and at th
distance it is not safe to advise or condemn 4
few weeks or months Of " mastery inactivity. )
may do more than all the exhibitions of merry
business, haste and war. As the President
said in speech on his trip to Washington, no
body Is suffering.
There s high fever in the public mind, and
many hot-head wants to go off like pop-gun
and wants everybody at Washington to do the
same; but this fever is subsiding, and the man
who, in the midst Of the gale can ride upon the
whirlwind is calming the storm. If the Cot
ton States shall be LETT alone long enough to
soc their folly, or the Federal Laws suspended
to allow them to remain out Of the Union, it
will not materially matter to us II will net
kill o"g6oaY, and we think that the people will
not be surprised at the ayowal Of some such
peace policy by the Administration as soonas in
lii Judgment it is best. Remember to be patient,
until the food Of patriotic Office see ers are fed,
and also that haste makes waste.
