TO BE FEARED.

Our only fear is that the Administration
is rot fully aware Of the depth and power
OF public sentiment, and that the gentle
men who control it, doubling that the people
will respond, Will not push forward
with that rapidity demanded by the patri-
otic zeal Of the country. That the ueces-
sity for uniting all parties, factions and
creeds in defence Of our institutions should
make the President cautious, is natural
enough; and taat he should wait before
taking another step, to assure himself that
he is not to be separated from large mi
nority Of the people, and be compelled tn
fight partisan battle with dangerous
and powerful enemy, before marchino
against the common foe, is unquestioned
evidence Of his ability to successfully con-
due: the campaign.
But by this time the cry Of the people.
loud, earnest, and BY its unaninity, start
ling, must lave reached the White House.
The demands which come up from every
quarter for new levies, more money. ereat-
e. activity, energy and audacity, must have
broken over official etiquette; and VIC NAV
helievet despite the polished phrases Of
Gov. Seward addressed to Gov. Hicks, that
the Government will be en- 7upport with
the masses, and that military ope1 atiens On
. scale commensurate with the magnitude
OF the crisis, will be undertaken as soon as
the materials Of war can be collected at the
great depots whence the armies Of the Re.
public must set forth. We do not doubt
the earnestness Of the President, nor the
devotion Of those whom he has called
around him. They are for the mainte~
mace ofthe Republic, one and indivisib1e.
at a]1 hazards They know the military
resources Of the land and the exact mate
nal requirements Of the situation. They
Know tar better than we the points upon
which blows are. to he inflicted, and the
preparations of Tie enemy. They have
everything at their command. Let them
understand now the people glow with pat
rlotic devotion to the popular cause-tbat
they are ready to sacrifice time, money,
ne-cverythingg, to the preservation of our
institutions, and all will be well,

- Al" "OAAWVs
We take it for granted that the Governor
Of the State will, In the exercise Of his dis
cretion, and without awaiting for orders
from Washington, send more troops into
Cairo, and make the possession Of that
point secure beyond all contingency. The
importance Of This is 10 apparent as an
original proposition that We will not urge
it; its Importance now, when Illinois has,
in the exercise of her sovereignty, as.
sumed control in that locality, can
not be overlooked without incurring the
risk Of an attack from the ruffians and ma
1auders from Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri; By whom the Camp il threaten
ed. We might = fortnight ago have been
charged only with carelessness if the allies
Of the New Dahomey had been permitted
to raise the rattlesnake banner there in ad-
vance Of any State movement; but now,
having put up the Stars and Stripes and
advertised our WiIlin gness to defend them
by sending an armed force for that pur-
pose, we should be criminal to neglect
what cure for the lives and reputation Of
our troops and the honor OF the State de-
mand. ~
We are advised from various quarters
that an attack is sooner OF later intended.
The control over the two rivers which
have their confluence there, assumed By
our boys, and the consequent loss Of the
ar;ns and ammunition upon which the
traitors depend for. the success Of their en-
teEprise, have excited Memphis, Paducah,
Columbus; and other missionary stations
thereabout, to the highest pitch of frenzy,
and we: have the authority Of q letter
printed IN our columns to-day, for saying
that the prominent secessionists Of Tennes.
see are preaching crusade, the object Of
which is 10 put our Thousand 1llinoisans
to the sword. The warnings that the
troops viii have work to do arc abundant.
and should be needed.
Once more: Cairo should not only be
reinforced at once; but the commander Of
the troops should be directed to declare
the place under Martial Law. The pro-
cesses Of the civil courts for bringing to
punishment the secessionists on our own
Rcil, and the spies who come from the enc
my, are too SLOW for the emergency. The
resident traitors and the vagahond interlo-
pers should be taught that the Government
Is in earnest. and that they cannot safely
give aid and comfort to the foe,
With Martial law in force, the seizure
Of the steamboat loads ofproyisions- camp
stores-now going South, may be stopped,
no matter under what commercial device
they are shipped; in fact, the navigation Of
both rivers may be brought to dead halt,
as a military necessity, The exigency of !
the situation admits no delay, We believe
that the Governor will continue the exer-
else ofthe energy with which the campaign |
was commenced; and that reini orcements
will go forward at once
