Tho Cant of Treason.

hO Sdlb Vi lT6dbOu.
We commend the following, from the
Cincinnati Gazette, Of the 14th, to some of
the apologsts for treason in our midst, who
have so lately become such loud-mouthed ad-
vocatcs of free speech" and Stree press. d"
Let them profit by it,
The editor Of the Enquirer proten1s to
think it very strange that there cannot be as
much liberty of speech and of the press toll
Grated now, in regard to the present war, as
there was in regard to the war with Mexi-
| co. Has he ever thought Of the difference
between the present war and that with Mexi-
COZ Has he really any correct idea of the
nature the present war? Does he or does
he not know that the Government is now
engaged in war for its own existence. =
This is so and il makes all the difference in
the world. There can be but two sides in
this war. True, you may say the same of
any war--of che war with Mexico-but you
must recoect the difference between this
and other wars The Government is now
engaged in a life and death struggle-a strug-
gle for the right TO be--for its own existence.
Those against whom it wars threaten its dis
memberment, its destruction. If you are
not with the Government in its struggle for
the Union, the Constitution and the repub-
lie for its own existence and its right to
exist--you are against the Government and
with those who seek its destruction. This
makes you II traitor. There is no middle
ground--no question Of polcy-no ground
upon which men can differ, except for or
against the Government, That is the rea-
son why sympathizers with this wicked re-
bellion aud those whose hatred to the Re

enough to be willing or anxious to see the
Government on that account destroyed; they

or with the Jeti Davis rebellion, as much
as they please but they had better keep
their thoughts and sympathes to themselves!
They had better learn the exact nature, OF
THIS war, If they do not already know it; that
they must either be with the Government IN
its war against rebellion, or with the rebel
hon and those who seek to overthrow the
Government. In war with Mexico, with
England, or with any foreign Government,
the cnse would be quite different. In such
case we might approve or condemn, as we
pleased We might oppose the war and the
Government for engaging in it, or for car

It, 50 long as we did not give aid and COM

A Camp Reverie.

A soldier from the Webster Regiment of
the Massachusetts, Volunteers, thus writes
to the Boston Courier:
If the people could only understand the
luxury of tents, house rents would fall rap
idly. When it rains, every drop makes
music. | see the stars through the tent door,
and with the flashes of distant lightning, the

cool breeze comes in laden with the fragrance
of the field. / sec clusters of men about
the trees; the green vines clinging to the
shrubs, and dropping frc'n the boughs; the
hoarse crickets flying across the field, and
the men with water Jars in long rows. Then

against the clear, hot sky, and in reverie
which no sound of pavements intrudes upon

General McClellan's Headquarters.

General McClelan's headquarters are on
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Nine
tecnth street. Over plain three-story
house, on the northwest corner, without any
gaudy pretentions, tho American flag floats
Around it are hitched number of horses,
whose trappings are the only insignia of war
visible. In the third story, in the buck room,
sits the man by the side ofa rude pine table,
on which the eyes Of the world are now
turned. Quietly he reads his dispatches,
and patiently listens to his officers, who are
coming and going all the time.
Not muscle is moved unnecessarily, not
lrown or smile is noticed as the tenor of
reports and dispatches change. Around
him, upon the wall, are his maps and charts;
before him his tables, showing his forces
and their location, with the position of his
rebel foe
lie issues his orders and instructions, as
though upon each one hung the fate of a ma
tion.
The two lower stories are occupied by his
stall, aud the business of their different de-
partments. Il Cor. Phil. Inquirer

ton Of an Indian funeral
There was procession of wagons, drawn
mostly by small Indian horses called po-
MES. The first wagon contained rough cof-
I'M, and siz old squaws, three on each side
OF the coffin, all kneeling, their heads bowed
IN mournful silence the horses walked
slowly along, with their heads near the
ground, as if conscious that their last sad
duties were being performed for another of
the native sons of the soil. The second,
third and fourth wagons contained children,
the youngest in front, all silent, some with
downcast eyes and Others gazing at the scene
in wonderr Then followed puite q number
OF Indians on their ponies all in single file,
no two riding abreast. In the rear were sew
eral old indians, on foot; tottering along as
If they, too, had nearly blossomcd for the
grave. They cameto the entrance of the
graveyard; the coffin was carried to the grave,
IA ring was formed round it all knecling, and
as 1t descends low moaning chant was COM
menced, which seemed to swell until it be-
came sweet but mournful to the ear, when it
died away in the same low sounds with which
