stead of this they are concentrating thousands
of troops, and arms and munitions of war in
great abundance, in readiness for whatever
course the Federal Government may determine to
pursue. That course we arc now prepared and
glad to believe is a rapid and vigorous war; and
u war not on free soil, but on slave territory and
at the very doors of those who have banded to-
gcther to strike at the fair Fabric of our Gov
eminent.
The day of grace, of favor, Of mercy, must
now be closed last against those who have de-
spised, scorned and rdculed the forbearanco Of
the constituted authorities and hurled back with
defiance every offer of an honorable or safe settle
ment of the disputes that have rent the nation

GUS depth of infamous treachcry. Robbing arse
mails and minis are only the mider phases of
their criminal daring. Peaceable men, unof-
tending women, helpless children, who have
committed no offence save loving tho Old Flag,
are scourged and toriuented with brutality
whose parallel cannot be found in history. The
horrid crueltics of the Inquisition were nercful

tevmlned on war, and are apparently ready and
anxious for 1t; and they have foregone no pro-
vocation, which the highest inventive mind could
device, to make it absolutely impossible for the
Government TO be at peace with them longer.
The United States now takes the aggressive.
Its aris&es are ready and impatient to march,
They are within sight, if not already on the
soil of Virginia. They carry in their hands the
Banner of liberty, and in their hearts love of
Freedom which they will yield up only with

South from the fatal tyranny of its domineel-

| The Rebels should now be made to feel the
retributive justice already 100 loug delayed, The
war should take on no features of atrocty and
outrage, but it should make bare its iron hand
and take up the sharp sword OF an avengne
Power. The Government should be, to those
who have despised its warnings and laughed at
its reproofs, an angel Of death and let those
who would escape its terrible visitation, hang
out from their dwellings the token of their allie
glance. Famine, confscation, destruction, fire
and the sword must 60 before our armies. The
tasces, the truncheon, the mace, the mere en-
blems of authority, are laid aside, and the ter
rible realities are to take their place. -...
We shudder as We contemplate what may bc
the dire necessity of making this war as de-
structve as possible to every material interest of
the rebels. The struggle is not one for q su-
premacy of q month, year, or four years, or a
generation, but for centu ries, and for genera
tons to come. 1t is contest between law, or
dor, and just subordination to constituted au-
thorities, and disobedience. dsloyalty, anarchy
and treason. The victory of the right, should
be no partial one; the defeat of the wrong
should have not a consoing or mitigating cir
cumstance. It's destruction should be as utter
and desolating as that of Sodom, that, like that
devoted city of the Plain, it may stand for thou
sands of years in history solemn and terrible
witness Of the just and righteous punishment
melted out to the most wicked treason that ever
lifted it's form in the light Of day.

people from the adjoining towns came to see
the soldiers of their State, and bid adieu to
their sons.
There was one distinguishing feature in this
Re giment of men, As a general rule, the
ranks of the army are filled with the most
abandoned characters Of the Nation. In this
case the rule is reversed. As l passed from
Company to Company, was surprised to no.

liability preponderated Among that Regi-

State-intelligent business men, who have left
lucrative business and happy home, to assist
in putting down treason ard rebellion in our
land. And all honor 10 them The State will
remember them when peace and plenty again
return.
Col. Phelps looks like soldier who has seen
much service, and is fitted by nature to COM
mand. Probably better selection could not
have been made. Lieut.-C Washburn was
on hand, and particularly useful everywhere.
He is noble man q man that the soldiers will
